The Ones That Last

How Characters love without saying it!!

˙⋆✮ Remembering the small thing mentioned once and acting on it weeks later

˙⋆✮ Driving out of their way without mentioning it

˙⋆✮ Learning something entirely new because the other person loves it

˙⋆✮ Saving the last of something good specifically for them ˙

⋆✮ The way their voice changes when talking about that person to someone else

˙⋆✮ Defending them in rooms they'll never know about

˙⋆✮ Sitting in comfortable silence and choosing to stay anyway

˙⋆✮ Noticing when something is wrong before a single word is spoken

˙⋆✮ Making the coffee exactly right without asking every single time

˙⋆✮ The look across a room that carries an entire private conversation

˙⋆✮ Showing up in the specific way that person needed and not any other way

˙⋆✮ Keeping a thing safe that was never technically theirs to keep

˙⋆✮ Laughing at the joke no one else got because they always get it

˙⋆✮ Asking the follow-up question because they actually listened last time

˙⋆✮ Rearranging their entire day around something the other person said casually

˙⋆✮ The pause before walking away that says everything the mouth won't

˙⋆✮ Being different with them than with anyone else and not trying to hide it

˙⋆✮ Holding the door open in every sense of the word

˙⋆✮ Choosing them again quietly in a hundred small moments every single day

˙⋆✮ Loving them in the way they needed to be loved and not just the way was easiest

How do I... use this? I don't know what to do ;-;

[the-future-is-chrome]

here’s a youtube tutorial by the guy who made it

[samreich]

who did this to me

[teaboot]

I think that if you had enough daughters AND played your cards right you could spring Mambo Number Five out at the EXACT right gathering and shatter your entire family's trust forever

[teaboot]

The secret is to name them out of order with the lyrics so by the time anyone catches on it's too late

[teaboot]

For me personally the ideal gathering would be my funeral

[teaboot]

A little bit for Monica, she's my wife

A little bit for Erica, for her strife

My books all go to Rita, cause she reads

My greenhouse goes to Tina, she plants trees

The furniture is Sandra's, on my lawn

Jewelry for Mary, she can pawn

Ashes go to Jessica, that's my plan

A little bit of me inside a can (ah!)

Fanfic Writers: Director’s Cut

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines. 

Or, send in a ⭐star⭐  to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

[pyronado-moved]

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

[demonicsymphony]

And if you’re in the notes or tags telling us to “just get a new tag”

Fuck You

It’s never too late to learn the right way to do things: button sewing technique via imgur → more…

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE

[ccbytheseashore]

I feel like I just reblog this every time it is on my dash, with hope that one day I will stop being such a goof about sewing buttons.

[ilwinsgarden]

You mean someone don’t do it like this?

[actuallyclintbarton]

Yeah I was taught to just sew them flush against the fabric. It didn’t work as well as I thought it should…

[deadcatwithaflamethrower]

Yeah, I’m so downloading a copy of this post because buttons and I do not like each other.

[paininthejas]

I worked as a costume designer and assistant in a costume shop for 2 years and honest 2 god this will save your life.

[lark-in-ink]

I am a professional tailor and I approve this message.

[icantbearsedtothinkofone]

I was taught to put a matchstick between the button and fabric as you’re sewing it then remove it and do the wrapping.

[creations-by-chaosfay]

My mother is a quilter and once-upon-a-time made clothes for my sisters and I. She absolutely hates teaching, and thus gave on lesson about sewing buttons. It was not like this. Until I saw this post, I had no idea buttons are to be sewn like this.

reblog if you think sign language should be taught as a language in schools.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

huge fans of religions who preach poverty and modest living whilst hoarding uncountable amounts of untaxed wealth, property, and international treasures, gotta be one of the top 5 scams ever invented

[snugstone-olly]

hey gaud what do you mean about hobby lobby

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

*rubbing my hands together with sinister relish* this is what we call a Teaching Moment

[doomdoomofdoom]

Always fun to watch people find out about Hobby Lobby smuggling thousands of looted historical artefacts from the Middle East (x) and 'United States of America v. Approximately Four Hundred Fifty Ancient Cuneiform Tablets and Approximately Three Thousand Ancient Clay Bullae' (x)

[lolotehe]

I saw it posted as "Hobby Lobby's Hammurabi robby jobby" once.

I'm so glad that some of my customers take pictures of Varric and Hawke from me, lol

“Every Pokemon is someone’s favourite” I’m making a spreadsheet to see if this is true. Reblog with your favourite Pokemon in the tags.

Here’s the spreadsheet in-progress

[grootficguy]

Ok, mother of GOD that's a lot of responses and I am but one man with Excel. I'll update these ASAP but also some rules:

A Pokemon only counts for itself, not its evolution line.

A Pokemon with multiple forms (like Zygarde) will only be counted for the specified form. A Pokemon with multiple appearances (like Spinda, Vivillon, Sylvally, etc.) count for all their appearances.

I'm literally doing this as a testament to my own depression that not everyone is lovable, so add that to the weight of this post's meaning.
