Me? Alive? Only sometimes...

someday I'll probably stop scrolling though Tumblr and actually draw and write and post stuff about my OC's. That day is not today I fear.

[sachermorte]

eternally painful that you can't socialize without people expecting you to talk. sometimes I just want to be around. like a cat

[orchidvioletindigo]

A black cat crossing your path is actually good luck on account of you get to see a cat

aquarium advertisments say stuiff like discover the longtooth grouper this friday

[tyrannosaurusrachh]

I see that, and raise you my local aquarium's advertising.

[twofingerswhiskey]

Vancouver Aquarium has similar ads!

They also have some SERIOUSLY inventive ones:

(High and Low Tide ^)

[draconic-alchemy]

the only type of advertising that should exist: "ooooohhhh you want to come look at the animal"

genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

[notemily]

via ered.bsky.social, the only kinds of unethical fiction:

people in the replies are going "what about books glorifying unethical things" and "what if it's propaganda" and you, my friends, are who this comic was made for

Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder they’re like this if their parents kept fumbling

[desinteresse]

“I’m having trouble adapting to my adult responsibilities” well no wonder, nobody raised you 😭😭😭

[desinteresse]

Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.

[mosssreblogs]

for those lacking certain "adulting" skills, especially things around the house, check out:

mom, how do i...?

and dad, how do i...?

^ there are tons of other resources but these two will teach you some personal hygiene, home or apartment repairs, easy recipes and basic cleaning techniques, even how to schedule doctor's appointments

if youre a renter i cannot recommend the trans handyma'am enough, mercury is a lifesaver, and her channel and accounts are always accepting new questions

there are so many resources, a lot that you dont have to even ask for, just know how to look 🩷 much love

[you-need-not-apply]

Actually no how the fuck is it august

[you-need-not-apply]

Pack it up everyone you’ll never be this funny

[you-need-not-apply]

Happy “how the fuck is it august” to those who celebrate!

[makomoriz]

no i don't. cheers

[aspec-mafia-official]

I think there's too much of love, intimacy, and romance in media now, actually. Not only does it often destroy what was already good, but also we're missing so much potential of stories that are based on the lack of it. Either for good or for bad, and with it not ending in some sort of other person involved (or at least not romantically, as well).

And if one really wants romance, that's what's shipping is for.

"It's such a huge part of human life" which humans? Because this is only talking about allo people. And aspec individuals are also human. This is amatonormativity at its finest. Many aspec people feel no such (or even disgust at those) feelings.

And, "underwhelming"? Are friendships, pets, acquaintances, dream fulfillment, curiousity for life, and personal drive not whelming enough?

My mother: I’m just saying don’t close any door yet!

Me, an aegosexual/aromantic: I’m not saying the doors closed I’m saying it’s not there in the first place

"the stitching isn't uniform" "the painting is messy" "this writing doesn't sound right" you created something twin, that's so amazing

what the fuck dude that’s an evil thing for a mushroom to do

[aeoliantectrix]

yeah wait why is it when normal plants are poisonous they just give you heart failure or something but when mushrooms are poisonous they always gotta be some awful SoulsBourne type boss shit

like the one that liquefies your organs inside you

[byjove]

if I remember correctly, there is a mushroom that may be responsible for ALS clusters and another mushroom that can cause you to be depressed for up to 6 months. why do mycotoxins behave like magical curses?

[earhartsease]

do you even have to ask

[exaltedrevenge]

There is a mushroom in china that makes you hallucinate tiny people.

It’s a popular seasonal ingredient

'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans

Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact

[colemckenzies]

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger

[ggiornojo]

as well u can just add ‘ed’ to any object and it’s sounds like you were really drunk

example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night

[colemckenzies]

#i was gazeboed mate #i was absolutely baubled

[animatedamerican]

Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).

[nentuaby]

Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.

[animatedamerican]

… huh.  I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.

I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.

[thepioden]

Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.

“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Something is

Something is wrong with our language

[rooksandravens]

Is it a glitch or a feature?

[cranberrybogmummy]

Feature

[storybookprincess]

one of the best ways i’ve found to combat that inherent depressive pessimism without veering into toxic positivity territory is simply the phrase “i’m open to the possibility”

this particularly works with anything negative i’ve forecasted. “i woke up feeling like shit today, so my day is gonna suck” isn’t a particularly helpful thought, but “it’s a great day to be alive!!!!!” feels hollow and insincere when i have a pounding headache & am running on three hours of sleep

instead i’ll tell myself, “i really don’t feel good right now, but i’m open to the possibility that coffee and breakfast might perk me up a bit.” or “i’m in a lot of pain today, but i’m open to the possibility that my workday might still have fun parts despite that”

sometimes, when your impulse is to slam the door on anything good, but you’re not exactly up to going out & hunting it down yourself, leaving the door open just a crack makes all the difference

btw dating sucks as a concept.

[tongue-twists]

meeting up with someone with the explicit goal of figuring out whether or not you want a relationship with them spoils the dynamic. it sucks. it's terrible. fall in love with your friends like normal people.

[tongue-twists]

as expected this one is a hit with the autism website

[aro-ace-culture-is]

Aroace culture is getting very happy when I find other tumblr users who are also aroace

Narration, in a serious, dramatic voice: We find no evidence paranormal activity inside this mine, but we do find an absolutely adorable kitty kitty.

Person on screen, using a baby voice: Hi little kitty kitty! Hi little kitty kitty! Ohh, you’re just a little kitty kitty!

[just-a-geekygoth]

[lesbinewren]

crazy how every time a female character gets cliche misogynistic writing we have to explain to people again that fictional characters are not real and do not choose things for themselves.

[lesbinewren]

it’s really this at the end of the day tbh
