Looking back on 2020, I think it's hilarious that Wellerman of all shanties is the one that blew up online. It's not a song about life on the high seas or adventuring

It's the "Where the fuck is my delivery" song

don't ever look up what your childhood friends are up to now!!!!!!!!!! like girl you're a nuclear safety engineer. i put on matching socks today. we played tag a thousand years ago.

[halberdbooks]

Yeah

[genderkoolaid]

thinking about this post. i honestly feel like on all levels of human culture we need to get a little (or a lot) okay with things kind of sucking. like the notion that the worth of experience is entirely dependent on whether or not it is closer or farther from perfect needs to be thrown out. sometimes someone is mid and your local middle school's fall play is kinda lame and the drawing you made has a poor grasp of color theory. good. i desire life for what it is.

every so often i remember how awesome the modern interconnected multicultural world is. i grew up getting to hear fairy tales from all over the world. africa, asia, europe, america. everywhere in between. i can have bagels for breakfast, curry for lunch, and ramen for dinner without even leaving the city limits. music and art and philosophy and technology that originated thousands of miles and years apart from eachother have come together and interwoven into something greater than the sum of its parts. its hard not fall into despair when thinking about the horrors but god. god the wonders.

Saw a truck with a big sign that said Bred Last on it. Read it in English and thought "do I want to know how trucks breed?" but then mom said it in Swedish.

Wide cargo.

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

oh my god thank you for the second perspective, it honestly makes me feel way less stressed about this image, you have no idea

[smimon]

Here’s the second image again since it somehow disappeared in reblogs

[sleepynegress]

Okay... so this is right up my alley. More weird whimsy and quirk in the romance genre... and more jaded suffer-no-fools women, instead of the creepy age-gaps, please and thank you

[umber-cinders]

I WILL WATCH THE FUCK OUT OF THIS! Monster romance books prepared me for thiissss!

[elizmanderson]

just FYI it's based on a short story called The Wicker Husband which I read here despite the small print because I could only find the opening elsewhere (the place it was originally published online is gone, but the author, Ursula Wills-Jones, says she hopes to see it in print soon!)

“i wish we could see adaptations where sherlock holmes hates the rich and is allowed to be kind to those around him and uses his abilities to support society’s underdogs” elementary was doing this back in 2012. this was only episode 4.

Being able to draw older people as attractive without reducing or erasing the visual signs of aging, and in fact showing that they're attractive because of those signs, is an artistic skill that should be valued so much more. Honestly, it should earn you an immediate fortune because holy fuck is it a rare commodity. There are so many artists who seem to think attractiveness and aging exist in opposition to each other, so they smooth every wrinkle, erase every crease, and de-age the character until they're basically thirty with silver hair. But when an artist can look at crow's feet, smile lines, weathered skin, deep-set wrinkles, and all the little traces of a life well lived and say, "No, that's what makes them beautiful," that's a level of artistic observation and care I wish we celebrated more often.
