is (for) u !!

oh,,,,,,,

ohhhh,,,,,,

my heart

it overflows with love for you dearest

i cherish this with all my heart

oh my heart

[ghost-inacup]

i was so based and so cringe

[what-even-is-thiss]

When I grow up I wanna be upper middle class.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I want like… a condo. And enough money to go on vacation sometimes. And maybe a mug.

[sbpstudios]

bro look at thrift stores or garage sale for mugs

i once got a set of four cat mugs for a dollar. one of the best days of my life so far

[what-even-is-thiss]

Maybe I’m tired of going to thrift stores for mugs. Maybe I’m tired of the $5 target mugs. Maybe I want a really nice mug. Not like five hundred nice mugs. Just like… one or two would be nice. You know? Maybe I’d hang one on my wall. I think I’d like that. Owning a wall.

Go to any streets that close for art events, you’ll find at least 1 good potter selling their wares there

I got the cup I use for my bathroom at Las Olas, Florida for their art fair a few years back, it was like $15ish but the potter had a set all in the same color combo of a bowl, 2 sized plates and 2 different mugs. I just wanted the one small cup but I’ve got the card somewhere

At the same art fair a year or two later a different potter was there selling his stuff and that’s who I got one of my tea mugs from for like again $15isb

[what-even-is-thiss]

Again, people are misunderstanding my actual desires represented by the mug.

[what-even-is-thiss]

There you go.

[i-wear-the-cheese]

Every time we go into a Big Fancy Houseware shop just to browse, I stare wistful at the mugs. “We have enough mugs” I will say. But I know I my heart that all the mugs at home are mismatched and old, or secret Santa gifts from across the years. None of them have been purchased solely for the joy of buying a fancy new mug.

[parkasaurus-rex]

Like you could even go to the clearance aisle for mugs. The change of seasons always brings new and interesting things. OR A GOODWILL TRIP? Holy shit this person is going on and on about expensive ass mugs when what you really need in life is to not fall into the trap that capitalism has inevitably laid for all of us that makes us believe wholeheartedly that the only happiness we will find in life is the ability to purchase expensive things and to own expensive things

Go green and try to re-thrift for shit that’s so trivial it takes one slip of the hand to watch it completely fall to pieces

[what-even-is-thiss]

I made this post over a year ago now and inevitably whenever it gains more traction someone will pop up completely misunderstanding me, not understanding that I’d just like to be comfortable. I don’t actually want advice on how to acquire mugs. I own a couple of mugs. I’d just like to be able to have some security. Maybe a pool. Maybe I’d like to own a small amount of property. A condo, maybe. I’d like to be able to travel. You’ll notice that nobody here is giving advice on how to acquire a condo or a vacation. They’re just taking the mug part seriously. All I wanted to do was fantasize about a world where I don’t live in a studio apartment that takes up half of my paycheck in rent alone and maybe I have a stupid white dad device mounted on the wall to showcase my mug collection. Can everyone just shut the hell up about telling me how to acquire mugs? I don’t care about the traps of consumerism! I just wanna be able to afford to visit my aunts sometimes! And so what if I do want an expensive mug? That’s my goddamn business.

[strongorcbutch-deactivated20220]

This is a perfect summary of what it’s like for try to communicate any idea that can’t fit neatly into a single sentence on Tumblr Dot Com.

[melonisopod]

Those “curtains were just blue” memes did irreparable damage to society.

[phantomrose96]

Not missing the meta-textual irony that this has exactly recreated the conversations that happen at society-level where someone from the Younger Generation says “I would just like financial stability. I would just like simple pleasures in life without the vice-grip of financial strain limiting every decision” and the Older Generation think pieces come pouring out like “Oh just make your coffee at home to save $4 :) Oh just limit yourself to one tv streaming service to save $10 a month :) Oh just don’t get the expensive avocado toast they charge $3 for the avocado you know :)”

It’s not about the mug it’s not about the coffee it’s not about the avocado toast. It never was and never will be. It will always be about being able to live a nice life.

Hi people ive mostly abandoned this blog and am over on @ghost-in-a-cup

[ghost-inacup]

Would you love me if I was a worm?

You say yes without a thought

I bite my tongue and stop from asking if you would love me as myself

Would you love me tarnished and blemished

With flaws and sins abound

With difficulties and insecurities

And days with madness wrought

Will you love me as myself

Difficult to handle and oh so human in my existence

Or would you like me to be a worm, uncomplicated

[scatteredhours]

A WORM, UNCOMPLICATED 😭

[ghost-inacup]

Would you love me if I was a worm?

You answer it without a second thought

I imagine our life together

Us crawling around near the river

I would be cold after a while

And you'll gallantly offer me your worm coat with a smile

Would you love me if I was a worm?

You ask in return

Forever and always I say in turn

[ghost-inacup]

this is so funny bc if this happened on any other social media site you would immediately assume it’s a glitch but tumblr users are so unhinged that you really never know if they’d do something like this on purpose or not

[goofballproximitysurveyor-deact]

obsessed with how tumblr just sometimes Does This 

[tlirsgender]

By the way. Before you rush to get a professional diagnosis for a Brain Thing you should really weigh your options. Like do you just want to "prove it" or will this actually give you access to treatment you can't have otherwise? Are the treatment options available worth having the government know you're neurodivergent? Because sometimes it's better to keep things off the record because unfortunately we still live in a very deeply ableist society and you might not want to have more real material oppression stacked against you than you have to

[tlirsgender]

Idk I see a lot of people seeking diagnoses just for, like, validation??? You do not have to do that. I cannot stress enough how much you don't have to do that. If people give you a hard time about being self diagnosed you can just tell them to eat shit. Better yet, you don't have to disclose your diagnostic status in the first place! Your medical history isn't anyone's business and I wholeheartedly support lying to doctors. Be free. You are allowed to control the information you share with people even (or especially!) if they're in a position of power

[transjemder]

Being in a tumblrina boy for twitter boy relationship has pluses such as my boyfriend trying and failing to explain “copium” in a way that sticks and me trying and failing to explain “blorbo from my shows” for 30 minutes while stuck in traffic. Love is love

[transjemder]

Ocassionally we will ask each other “has[meme] made its way to twitter / tumblr yet?” Like two ambassadors discussing the imports and exports of nation states.

[samwisegamwise]

hold on i have to read the Silmarillion real quick

[samwisegamwise]

yeah this is funny

[faustandfurious]

braver than any US marine

[spookberry]

My personal headcanon for Ash Ketchum has always been that regardless of if his dream ever came true he'd never truly stop traveling and learning. Because despite "becoming a pokemon master" being his goal if you actually sit down and watch like Any episode of Pokemon the thing that always holds true is his curiosity and desire to learn everything he possibly can related to pokemon. And he'll try anything to! He did contests and the battle frontier. He'd do those silly little shows with Serena if they'd let him.

So I like to imagine him continuing on in life as this nomad who people don't automatically recognize as anyone important ya know? Just this goofy guy going from place to place always lending a helping hand and hes got a cute lil pikachu on him. And hes often lost somewhere with a friend just exploring the woods to see if he'll find anything cool. Ya know, as hes always been, but older now. And its only once hes drifted once more do you maybe stumble into an article on the pokeweb about him and are like... that guy??

[curvedroygbiv]

there’s a dedicated ashandpikachuspotter account somewhere on some social media. You tag a photo or search for a term and boom, there’s pics of this guy. this dude. this man. with his pikachu. and it’s thousands of strangers from across the globe coming on line to talk about some stranger that they met briefly and then never saw again. they’ve compiled their stories and their approximate locations and mapped his journey from continent to continent, a long snaking pathway that spans decades and thousands of miles. He’s apparently one of those Kanto kids that the government let just drop out of school. Its working out very well for him. 

[spookberry]

Thats so funny, to imagine him as a pokeweb criptid type character a la the florida man

[spookberry]

the one thing about him is he's also not gonna think he's famous or ever mention it himself
