I love people with obscure knowledge or useless academic insights. I want to hear your analysis of lighting in Ratatouille. Tell me about the history of soda pop or the references to classical mythology in Macbeth. I want to know about the underlying homoerotic context of that 1930s sci-fi paperback. I think all knowledge is worthwhile knowledge. Explain to me the ecosystems that komodo dragons inhabit. Don’t be afraid to learn for the sake of learning.

When you get a friend to print the boarding slip

She must have paid money at a print shop for that!

I love this so much. It’s funny universally. The relatable dorky friend energy. The confused and amused looks. The double slow unfolding. Peak comedy

This is an A+ wholesome prank 😂

concept: a death god that is actually surprisingly supportive and on the side of the good guys, supporting actions and promoting policies that will lead to the kingdom growing and thriving instead of being destroyed, because the more the kingdom grows, the more people there are, and the more people there are the more people will eventually  die, and when you’re an immortal god of death, you know there’s no need to rush. you’ll get them all in the end

[mikkeneko]

i like how the responses on this post are cleanly split between “hey this is a great story idea i love it” and “this is absolutely terrifying”

[honourablejester]

Yes. A Death that is kind, and patient, and inevitable.

A Death that need not fight against you, that will often fight for you, because why not? It will gather you home eventually. Why not enjoy you first?

A Death that treasures those who fight it most ardently. That loves healers and defenders and survivalists and necromancers and mad scientists and immortal gods. That lets them pour everything they are into fighting it, denying it, adoring every desperate scrap of strength and will and brilliance and raw determination poured out against it. That catches you when your strength is done and all your will and brilliance run out, that gathers you close beneath a warm, dark cloak, and whispers well done, oh child, you were magnificent, well done.

A Death who will not seek to hasten an inevitable end, who will chastise those who seek to hasten it for others in Death’s stead, who will slowly and patiently plot and sow and siphon away from the great monsters of the world. Because who are they to hasten Death’s domain, who are they to deny Death its time and its place, who are they to cut short these vital glories that illuminate it so? Who are they to presume upon its will, that is so much larger and so much longer than theirs?

Who are they to call, and presume that Death, of all beings, should obey?

A Death that is not a hunter but a gatherer, who is always and eternal, who loves you, and can afford to wait. A Death who will fight for you and defend you, who will place its hand upon those who would speed you to its embrace, who has no need to rush you, only to greet you when you call.

A Death who is kind.

And patient.

And, before all and above all,

inevitable.

There is a reason they wield a scythe, not a sword. They harvest what is ripe, not take what is still strong.

Have you ever considered how fucking astonishing babies crying is?

The young of other animals don’t make noise, or if they do, barely any at all. Baby birds only start chirping when their parents come back with the food, kittens meow to their mothers because cat communication is extremely subtle and drawing your caretaker’s attention may require a sound when you have eight siblings. At this point, they can already see and walk.

 But human babies? Crying is essentially the first willful action that they learn. Months before being able to move on your own, or even hold your own fucking head up, or being able to choose when and where you defecate. Before anything else, a skill more valuable than anything else, is a distress call.

 A distress call specifically intended to be impossible to ignore.

 Before object permanence or theory of mind, without even an understanding of what help they need, who could provide it, and whether they choose to do so, a human being is capable of expressing that there is something wrong in the state they are in, that they are powerless to correct on their own.

 This is what was evolutionarily selected above silent babies that did not attract predators. This is what was selected instead of young who could instantly walk. This is what was selected as the ideal offspring for the human race. Not one that runs. Not one that hides. Not one that can fend for itself. A creature that can communicate, if only the simplest, most inherent message: I need help.

[such-justice-wow]

Humans are incredibly social creatures. We evolved under the reliance other humans would be there to help us.

[solarpunkcast]

“We evolved under the reliance that other humans would be there to help us.”

And you know what?? We consistently show up for each other. No matter how much capitalist society tries to alienate us from one another, we show the fuck up and help each other out when it comes down to it.

Communication and cooperation is inseparable from the human experience.

[ebonyheartnet]

Asking for help is the first, most important thing you ever learn to do, so please don’t forget that friends.

[shortace]

We’ve evolved into this fucked up situation where our babies are born way too early, they’re incapable of anything much, because if we let them gestate longer, our hips/pelvis wouldn’t be wide enough to accommodate their heads, because of our brain size and our bipedalism. Never forget, “survival of the fittest” doesn’t mean strongest or fastest, it just means best adapted to circumstances.

Also yes, ask for help. For your entire life. We’re a social species. And even aside from evolution and species and stuff, I personally just like being a nice person.

yknow theres a lot of pressure to be successful, particularly on artsy kids whose professions are seen as useless unless theyre famous, but life is fucking hard and sometimes things dont turn out

but i think thats not bad. my dad has wanted to be a musician forever, and hes rly pretty good. but then he joined the military to get away from an abusive family, and then he got married, and then he got divorced, and a lot of horrible shit HAPPENED. he has ptsd and severe anxiety and he could never really get back on the horse. and he never made it as a musician, and now hes 53

but i grew up in a house full of instruments, and he can play all of them, and some of my earliest memories are of him playing guitar on the front porch and me thinking there wasnt a better musician in the world. so. even if you dont get to the stars, exactly, what you do isnt worthless. its not a waste of time if life is difficult and you cant make it, or if you arent famous, or if your work doesn’t influence thousands of people. it will influence someone

there are a million ways to be happy and a million ways to be a successful artist. we create what we do to enhance the human experience and relate to each other and improve ourselves. theres something to be said for just doing that,,,for the sake of doing it, yknow

[talkgentlytome]

This is the most comforting, warm and important piece of text I have ever read, and it is so true. No life is wasted that is spent sharing and loving.

[jehanneargentee]

My mother never became a professional artist. She became a social worker, then later taught emotionally disturbed children. But our home was filled with photographs of wildflowers and wildlife. Spice racks, shelves, and other useful objects were adorned with small paintings. She taught me and my sister that we could make things beautiful, even if in small ways, and let us glue glitter and fake gems on our cheap kids furniture and make it ours. Capitalism tries to say that art isn’t successful unless it makes money. But that’s not why humans make art. We make art to convey emotion. To make an object or a moment or a story OURS. And making someone smile when they hear you sing, or look at something you made for them is as valid a reason for creating as any other.

[sol1056]

To create means to relate. The root meaning of the word ‘art’ is ‘to fit together’.

witches in old fairytales had the right idea. living alone, unmarried, in the middle of the woods, and if a hero stumbled across their cottage they’re like “maybe I’ll give you a magical token to help you out. maybe I’ll fuck up your entire life. depends :)”

Modern Hogwarts

 ( I know I did this headcanon before but not only was there soooo many grammar mistakes but it was also really short? So consider this an updated version! Some of the old ones will be on here but will be elaborated on more)

You can not tell me that not a single muggleborn or half-blood decided to bring their phone, computer or any other muggle device with them to school?

I find that really hard to believe they wouldn’t seeing how popular learning tik too dances are right now

I mean just imagine the purebloods confused faces when they walk into the common room and there see a group of teens trying to film a tik too. Or seeing their housemates playing on their game consoles that’s hooked up to a tv someone snuck in.

Of course, those purebloods catch on and bring the slang home with them over the break, confusing the hell out of their parents.

“And I kind just said yeet, you know?” 

“Sticking my dick in rotisserie chicken!”.

“SKSKSK and I oop.”.

“If I die, I die.”

Facetiming students from the other schools

Speaking of other schools, I’m sure Hogwarts would start a foreign exchange program

“The Slytherins are E-Girls and E-Boys. Prove me wrong”

“Um excuse me? Have you seen that group of Ravenclaws? I swear, their hair was blue last week and now it’s orange.”

“But I think we can all agree the Hufflepuffs are VSCO G-”

“Nope. There are a few theater kids and artsy kids in there. ”.

All the quidditch players wear varsity jackets with house colors on it. Of course, the rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin is still there but I feel like over the years it wouldn’t be that big of a deal as when the Golden Trio was there? Like nobody actually gives a fuck

Of course, everyone is still gonna have to wear uniforms and there is still a dress code? But I think the school will take in consideration of religion and the fact that some of their students may be transgender or nonbinary. 

More clubs will be introduced. Clubs for the LGBTQ community, probably an anime club, clubs for pic, and so on. Along with more clubs, more extracurriculars because not everything is about quidditch.  Not everything is about sports? What about the arts? Because it’s not like those aren’t still an issue in the muggle world. ( Spoiler alert: it still is. )

If there’s a theater class, the musicals are probably amazing as hell! Seeing they actually have magic, how the fuck can it not be? Like how can you fuck that up?

The school probably have AC and heating now but student probably still use the fireplace, especially during the winter.

Some kids probably vlog their day? Like maybe some muggle-born made a Youtube like websites for the wizarding world and they post it there? I can kinda see that happening, kids suddenly wanting to be influencers in the wizarding world. 

Let me know if I should do another version for the other schools!

Saying that man and woman are the only genders is actually LESS nuanced than saying that earth, water, air, and fire are the only elements.
