the real reason howl kept his castle moving was tax evasion

[never-forget-viva-la-pluto]

This sounds like a joke but I read the book this is the literal reason

[spockzilla]

Won’t lie, if I were having a rough time and the office himbos brought me mac and cheese I would be cured.

Small, clumsy kindnesses, earnestly given, are more healing than you would believe. More adults should be willing to show the tender caring that a little kid expresses when they say, “You looked sad, so I brought you a rock.”

[jaded-stag]

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

Blind people must save a lot on electricity.

I had a blind professor, last semester, and I swung through his office to make up an exam. It was a while before I knew he was in there because he was sitting with the lights off. I finally went in, apologized, and took the exam by the light of a nearby window (which was fine). Forty-five minutes into dead silence he panicked and yelled in this booming voiced, “WAIT, YOU CAN SEE!!!” before diving across his desk to turn on the lights. I’m sure he was embarrassed but I thought it was endearing and it highlighted a large aspect of disabled life that I hadn’t previously considered.

Sort of relatedly I once had professor who was deaf, but she had learned to read lips and speak so she could communicate easily with hearing people who didn’t know sign language. One day she had gotten off topic and was talking a little about her personal life, so that one of the students said “Oh, I know, I grew up in Brooklyn too.” 

She stared at him for a long time and then said “How do you know I’m from Brooklyn?”

And he said “You have a Brooklyn accent.”

She said “I do?” and the whole class nodded, and then she burst out laughing and said “I had no idea!  The school where I learned to speak was in Brooklyn.  I learned by moving my mouth and tongue the way my teachers did.  So I guess it makes sense that I have their accent, I just never thought about it.”

My moms a sign language interpreter, and she’s signed with people from all over the US. According to her, when she signs with people from the south they sign with a “drawl.” They have slower hand movements and exaggerate certain parts of the sign. People from the Midwest sign very fast and people from the south sign very slow.

So we were at a restaurant once and my mom started interpreting for someone who was trying to order and she was like “oh you’re from the south!”

And they were like “how did you know that?”

And she said “you sign with a drawl.” And they were really surprised that it came through that much.

It’s really interesting that even when not speaking verbally accents and heritage come through.

Humans are so fucking fascinating

[podcastwizard]

little used fantasy trope i love: when two people are playing cards in a shady bar and it's the tense moment where they show their hand but it's a fantasy so they can't say things like "full house" or "royal flush" so they same some nonsense like "three crowns and a dead crow" and the crowd is like "oooOOHH" so we know that's good

[immortalfool]

Other character smirks: "Well, I've got a castle on four omens."

The crowd "oohs" louder, so we know that it's Much Better™️

[suburbanjustice]

thats how i feel watching scenes with regular cards

I found out about the jjk hello kitty collab today and this is the first thing my brain thought of

"He's a drawing..."

Yeah? So? I want his drawn dick inside me and a little speech bubble to pop up next to his head saying "nggh... f-fuck..."

[kaionyx]

I genuinely feel bad for the next puppy I get my hands on and claim as mine. Besides me being extremely possessive and needing my hands to be somewhere on them at all times, anywhere they are they’re getting mounted and fucked until I see tears. Kitchen, bathroom, living room, even when we’re driving home from a simple day out together, they’re getting dragged to the back seat and forced on their knees to be broken and used the minute I pull over.

[crackedclown]

I was so concerned, I legitimately thought they meant a dog 💀💀

[sooniebby]

Super late but uh, are you the date because your a 10/10 (ignore my bad grammar, just woke up from a nap)

It took me a minute to understand lol

[crackedclown]

Guys save this for next year cuz this pick up is golden

[dayquil-driver]

so embarrassing when i forget im checking someone's blog and i start scrolling through and liking and reblogging shit as if it's just my dash. it feels like wandering into someone else's apartment and not noticing and making myself lunch

[crackedclown]

This is me when I'm on insta and start accidentally scrolling through someone's posts😅

It's hilarious to me when people complain about AO3 and its policies, and what they allow on the site - but it's ESPECIALLY funny when people complain like "Why can't the freaks make their own site and just go there?"

Sweetie... AO3 is the site for that. Y'all invaded our space.

Wattpad and FFN still exist. Go there. They're as shitty and G-rated as you want. You can't have the luxuries that AO3 offers if you're gonna be a little bitch about its policies. Imagine walking into a strip club and complaining about the alcohol and naked ladies when there's a god damn Dennys next door you could have gone to. Christ.

[crackedclown]

if you're too lazy to filter tags, that's on you. point blank, period. don't use AO3 if youre not going to actually make use of any of it's benefits. they made it SO FUCKING EASY to cater your search results. it's not a site problem, it's not a society problem, it's a YOU PROBLEM if you decide to get all bent out of shape because you didn't want to filter out the shit you don't like.
