Why does “falling in love” have pretty much exclusively romantic connotations it’s such a good phrase. I’ve fallen in love with every single one of my friends

[puddleorganism]

This was such a smart post to make because every day I get to see people declaring their love for their friends in the tags. Such a simple but sweet “restoring faith in humanity” kind of thing. We’re all just little creatures who love our buddies <3

[puddleorganism]

Alright so this post has gotten over 5,000 notes in a month and I think that means the consensus is that everyone loves their friends and you should tell them

[palaeoplushies]

As OP and despite having zero authority over what this post has become, I am so delighted to see everyone's beautiful creations and collections.

I love that it has become a place to share creativity and beauty. Please do not stop showing off your little ceramic animals.

Here is my collection, sadly I don't remember who made most of these but the dog is by Harray Potter from Orkney. I believe the rat and rabbit is by someone here on Tumblr (shout out if it's you), the pinch pigs are from an Etsy seller.

[chubbymonstah]

Some of the ones I've made over the years.

gamers are like classist as fuck and they act like they don't realize it

[metaknightspiss]

i don't think i'm like smart or eloquent enough to word this properly. but i've noticed that, for example, people will act like people playing legends za on switch 1 are like stupid but they don't have another option because they're poor. when the game was literally designed As a switch game, so it runs perfectly fine.

playing a game just in a slightly lower quality console makes them really upset for some reason, they pity your experience as if you're not having a good time playing the game because it isn't running at one billion fps.

they also act like owning a system at all isn't already a huge privilege, and so is buying any videogame for it. like that's cool how you can buy two versions if a game, one for your 200 dollar system and one for your 500 dollar system, so you can complain about how shitty the slightly more affordable option is.

it's never even about the experience of playing the game. it's always got to be about fucking frame rates and expensive consoles, no one is allowed to have a good time unless they can keep up.

someone says "the game runs fine on my old but perfectly functional console" and some other guy will be like "if you don't buy the trillion dollar version of this you'll be playing at 10 frames per second and your console will explode so it's not even worth it to buy any games for it"

like hmm i wonder why you want people to not buy games if they can't afford to play them at the current highest quality. i'm sure it means literally nothing

See also: Shaming those who use emulators or other ways of acquiring games

[metaknightspiss]

yeah. emulation was the only way i ever got to play videogames up until 2020 when i was lucky enough to get a console of my very own for the first time ever. i've only got 4 games on it so far, in 5 years.

this is also why that statement of "you can't call yourself a real fan until you've played the game" always bothered me. it's not seen as much anymore I don't think but there are similar sentiments, with being shamed for not being able to keep up with the newest games

you condemn emulation but watching a playthrough doesn't make you a real fan either, so basically what you're saying is that you can only be a fan if you can afford it.

there's lots of other examples like this, like for example, merchandise. some people will shame you for buying bootlegs, when you're from a country who doesn't get official merch shipped to it in any capacity, and ordering from america or japan is just too expensive.

gaming communities simply hate people who don't have the money to buy themselves a seat at the table.
