“What’s with all the fucking gaijin in this area?” “Dude, don’t say that, use gaikokujin, it’s nicer.” “Oh, shit, right. What’s with all the fucking gaikokujin in this area?”
“The breaded pork cutlet bento box is like mega power. More than ramen. That’s accurate.”
all of them start dragging kiryu for his shitty cheap shirt for five minutes
“Shooting people sends a message.” “So does shooting anything.”

S: I don’t know any ex-yakuza running orphanages.
K: There was one a few years ago. A good guy.
M: You sure it wasn’t just a tax shelter?
K: Sure it was a tax shelter but he ran it like a legitimate thing. You know.
“Author’s note: A heated discussion takes place as to whether the game is stereotyping the yakuza, which is resolved when Midoriyama, a now-retired former mid-level faction boss, points out that the stereotypes about the yakuza are more or less correct, with the exception of their alleged prowess in martial arts.“
i’ve seen these quotes a hundred times but never the full article — 200k notes and i’ve never seen someone mention the guy saying “they should let kiryu smoke meth”
Ebeneezer in 1742 wakes with a start as for some reason he has put out his guttering candle by slapping atop it ith the palm of his hand. His hand is burned and his nightgown and cap are spattered with hot wax.
The “would you rather have a gay son or a thot daughter” memes are honestly pretty revealing about men’s insecurities surrounding their hypothetical kids depending on gender. A man expects his son to be his heir, his protégé, his best friend, basically an extension of himself to the point that men literally give their sons their own name. His worst fear is that his son will reject his proper role as a man and forfeit the spoils that are supposed to come with masculinity, namely the right to conquer women and claim one to have his own children. Your son being a gay man, especially an effeminate or flamboyant one, is not only a rejection of masculinity but symbolizes a rejection of the father, his ego, and his desire to continue his bloodline.
Daughters, on the other hand, are seen as their father’s property and are expected to one day be handed over to another man to have his children. The worst thing she could possibly do is be “ran through” - to be “used up” and have her potential value as a wife and mother ruined. It’s fascinating that these memes aren’t worried about the idea of a “gay daughter” because lesbian and bi women are often not even believed about their attraction to women and are still expected to marry a man and breed (though bi women are often stereotyped as promiscuous/sluts anyways). And men are encouraged to be sluts anyways, we just don’t call them that. A father pats his son on the back for being a raging whore as long as he just fucks women.
booktube bad but i love those "i read x so you don't have to" videos people who take psychic damage only to make a video dragging colleen hoover or whomever are so brave and selfless and i think we should acknowledge them as the heroes that they are
“Dear ARMY you all,
Already it's nearly the end of November, the wind is quite very cold.
You all might already be aware so I'm writing a short letter to you.
I start a new itinerary this upcoming December, I'll leave for a bit from beside you guys for military service. As I deliver this news, on one hand my heart feels heavy but on the other hand, my chest/heart warms up the precious memories with our ARMYs come upto my mind.
The time I spent until now together with you guys were the most shining/bright moments of my life.
The smiles, support, love of ARMYs have lead me until here and
Thank you so much for supporting/cheering for my dream and silently walking with me together.
I'm somewhat cautious about asking you guys to wait (for me/us) while (I/we) do the military service. 1 year and 6 months are a long time. So I can't say selfish words like that but
I promise that at the place I've always been, I'll stand on the stage with an even more grown/developed form of myself.
Until then, I hope that our ARMYs' lives are full of smiles and happiness
And I hope that ARMYs' days are filled up healthily and beautifully.
I'll be waiting until for the day we meet again to exchange new stories and I'll long for you/miss you from deep in my heart.
Don't get sick/hurt and please stay healthy.
I love you.
(Is it too early to write a letter… heh ehem)” (trans. cr. BTStranslation_)
Altogether, I really like the way americans say "can I help you?" as a polite general one-size-fits-all stand-in for "who the fuck are you/what the fuck are you doing here/how the fuck did you get in here/what the fuck are you staring at/what is your fucking problem." Such a polite way of going "bitch what the fuck."
oh btw for those saying “i already have tinnitus haha it cant get worse” YEAH IT CAN BITCH! if you want to listen to music loud do it on speakers at least. headphones will Beam Pain Waves Directly Into Your Cochlear Hair Cells and a 10kHz Tone Loud Enough Will Give You Psychic Damage Forever
today my bf and i were talking about visiting my home for the holidays and i was (sadly) wondering aloud if i should cut my hair and our kid was like "why would you cut your hair??? your hair is cool" and not knowing how to explain it to him i said "my family doesnt think boys should have long hair" to which he went silent, wordlessly pulled out his phone and then swiftly held it out with a picture of keeanu reeves on his phone
