matt: damn! also i need you to roll a concentration check for your hex
taliesin: what do i have to roll?
matt, grinning at the concept of finally foiling taliesin “nat20 georg” jaffe, who rolls approx 53 nat20s per game: you’re gonna need to roll a natural 20, you took a lot of damage
taliesin: *straight up rolls a natural 20*

actually i lied leaving today bye! :#
it seems so strange to me that the only people it is socially acceptable to live with (once you reach a certain stage in life) are sexual partners? like why can’t i live with my best friend? why can’t i raise a child with them? why do i need to have sex with someone in order to live with them? why do we put certain relationships on a pedestal? why don’t we value non-sexual relationships enough? why do life partners always have to be sexual partners?
My grandmother and grandfather more or less adopted my grandmother’s best friend back in the 50s. After my grandfather died (before I was born, back in 1968 or so) they continued to keep house together, platonic best friends, and they hung together until they died, a few months apart, in 2007.
It’s quite recently, as far as I can tell, that living arrangements like that have stopped being regarded as normal.
It’s absolutely a new thing to find this stuff weird, and it has a lot to do with media pretending that the nuclear family and marriage are the only reasons to live with other people.
I’ve lived in a 3 adult household my whole life. My parents and their best friend. This was never weird to me, even though everyone my age thought it was because the media never portrayed these kinds of housing arrangements. As far as i was concerned, I just had an extra non-blood parent.
According to my parents, it was very common in the 70′s-80′s to buy houses with your friends, because it was financially smart to do so (so long as you were certain they were close friends who wouldn’t fall out with you and fuck everything up). Houses and house payments are much more manageable when you split the bills 3-4 ways instead of just two.
Millenials aren’t the first to think it’s a great idea to just shack up with friends. That’s housemating without the hastle of living with strangers. It’s still a good idea to shack up with people you’ve known a long time so you know how you’ll get on living together, but still. In the current economy, it’s pretty much now our only option for affording anything.
I think, and I’m not researched on this, but I think conservatives probably tried to suppress images of non-nuclear families because they likely thought it would encourage ideas of polygamy, polyamory, open sexual relationships with or without marriage, as well as other relationship types they thought of as un-christian or unsavoury. I could be wrong, but that shit wouldn’t surprise me.
(And i want to make a note that there’s also a disturbing amount of asexual denial around that makes people go ‘if they’re living together they HAVE to be banging because why wouldn’t they?’ and that shit both creeps me out and annoys me no end. People can be in relationships without sex. People can live together without sex. Sex is not the be-all and end-all and people being taught to think it is really need to stop).
Don’t let the media fool you into believing you can only live with a sexual partner or blood family. Someone somewhere has an agenda for making these seem abnormal, when really it’s just practical.
the nuclear family is a tool of capitalism to profit off the working class tbh
“so long as you were certain they were close friends who wouldn’t fall out with you and fuck everything up”
Which is honestly no more of a risk than marriage. It’s not like sex makes a relationship *more* stable, really.

no offense but after thousands of years of evolution… why can’t I breathe underwater, fly, or be motivated for more than 2 days at a time
Listen as a species we’re still working on knees that reliably last longer than peak reproductive age, you can only expect so much
Rosa low key (but consistently) calling people out on their bullshit is a thing of beauty
LOVE YOUR OCS!!! YOU DID GREAT ON THEM!! EVEN IF THEYRE OVERPOWERED!! EVEN IF THEYRE EDGY!! EVEN IF THEYRE CLICHE!! YOU PUT SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT INTO THEM AND YOU SHOULD LOVE THEM AND LOVE YOURSELF FOR MAKING THEM!!!
Ever wonder how big wolves are and why running from them is a really bad idea?
This had me so fucked up the first time I worked at the zoo. Because honestly they just look like big German-Huskies when they’re not wild. They look like big puppies. And then… they get close to you… And it’s suddenly kinda fucking terrifying. Like “oh this is the animal that used to scare people shitless.” “This is the animal that used to run through nightmares and poems so much.” And you suddenly fucking get it. As cool as these animals are far away, as important as the animals are in their natural environment, as much as we need them to survive… they’re still pretty fucking terrifying
can you believe these things became our friends
we’re not worthy
I love how mature Yuuri is in treating Yuri. He’s a responsible adult who does not intend on picking a fight with a young teenager. This is rather refreshing to see in an anime character, and I’m glad that the rivalry between them is not reciprocated with pettiness.
lmao, if this were a normal anime, this twenty three year old adult male would totally be hellbent on kicking this 15 year old child’s ass.
really says a lot about the medium
ok, this actually made me think of THIS post
Capitalism at its best. Some role models we should all consider. I am a fan of Hagen Daz, but after reading this, I need to get me some Cherry Garcia!
I just need to work for them tbh
And they support black lives Go Ben & Jerry 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I wouldn’t let David electrocute himself so I’m the asshole
