They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.

[god-monsterr]

this reply deserves to be here.

Image description: Reply by time-compass that reads: "Try actively listening for assurance. I found I just missed it because I was so preoccupied with my own thoughts, but really today's assurance came in the form of my roommate offering to share the dinner she made. It came in the form of my coworker raising his eyebrows, impressed with my work. I found it in my father's hearty laugh at a gimmick I showed him. People won't sit down and tell you directly; switch your overanalyzing from internal to noticing good things." End of description.

Another way to ask without asking is to give others reassurances/affirmations of affection. People often respond in kind to what they receive, and the call and response of affection DOES need both the call and the response. It can feel deeply painful and exhausting to constantly regulate another person's self-hatred, but it is usually a joy to respond to their compliments with compliments or to their care and affection with care and affection.

Communication can be hard and scary, and we often need to develop internal safety with vulnerability in order to be good at it. But it does help.

Rice Krispies smartest decision is by far their Treat. Turning their cereal into a strange brick relies on the natural fact that all children are hopelessly dependent upon the ingot.

It has apparently been ten years since the time one of my professors pulled me aside to tell me I had to clean up after making out before going to class because my lipstick was everywhere and I realized "actually my tapdancing group decided we all had to dress like the Joker for our performance" was an infinitely worse explanation so I just said I was sorry

everyone's got that one homie who zealously adheres to his inflexible code of honor even though it has long since become a burden to him

[fallingtowers]

[evilsimulator]

Hate it when the squishmallow try to tell me the squishie’s name like no way in hell is this shrimp named Monica what the fuck are you talking about. But when beanie babies does it its ok because yeah that monkey’s name is bongo. Thats right.

[wine-dark-sea]

I can't explain how much I love baguette child. I would protect them with my life.

[theriu]

At first I was amazed and delighted and then I realized this is exactly the level of wit you should expect from a child who chose to dress as a baguette for trick or treating and I was even further delighted

[dreg-heap]

what the wasp in the corner of my room sees in its final moments

[chocolate-and-discourse]

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.

[chocolate-and-discourse]

Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries. I was just like, yeah thats fine, I’d actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.

[spoopy-valkyrie]

“even the addicts?” yeah dude did i fucking stutter

[lantern-hill]

cats will be like oh you're walking somewhere? no WE'RE walking somewhere. and i will get there first. where is 'there' btw

[valtsv]

tired: mermaids are all women

wired: much like elves, merfolk are mistaken by sailors for being all women because they have long hair and are very pretty

[valtsv]

inspired: merfolk actually have very different concepts of gender to humans because they’re an entirely different species with their own unique culture

[valtsv]

marine scientist: what’s your gender?

merperson: what’s a gender

marine scientist: like, are you a man or a woman?

merperson: i’m merfolk

marine scientist: no, like, what’s in your pants?

merperson: i don’t… wear any? i don’t have legs?

[9lunarseas6-deactivated20240914]

It’s a biological fact that fish do indeed change their sex to keep the male/female ratio balanced in their school population. So this fluidity actually makes more sense from a scientific standpoint than the silly idea that merfolk are born with a strictly assigned sex like humans.

[witchcraft-in-wonderland]

Merfolk are all canonically genderfluid and we love them for that

[anonymous-lizard]

Human: (invites merfolk friend to a boat party with their friends)

Merfolk: oh man, there are a lot of women here. Haha don’t worry guys, I got this :) *changes into a man to keep a balance because that’s culturally polite for merfolk*

Human: (spits drink) what the FUCK

[sexy-necromancing-bird]

OH MY GOD

[kingfisher-colours]

So in the presence of a ship with an entirely or mostly male crew, nearby mermaids would become female to keep the balance.

[considernature]

IT GOES FULL CIRCLE

Now canon in all my dnd and other games.
