obviously i don't really *get* romance in general but sometimes i hear about dating norms or anxieties people have about it and i'm just like. that sounds exhausting

The difference between people in the arts and outside of the arts continues to baffle me every day

Why is my mom upset that my partner heard me play an instrument, watched me play the whole way through with this sweet little “I’m proud of you” smile and then, when I asked what that was about, said “I hope to one day be as wonderful a guitarist as you”

Like that’s not “making it about himself” that’s a way to express awe and respect, idk if someone came up to me after a performance and said they wished they were as good as me or hoped to become as good as me that’s like a top tier compliment not that audience member making it about them idk I just find it weird

This is me with this girl who I think is literally the coolest smartest most talented person ever and she compliments me all the time and we’ve gotten coffee twice and we have all the makings of best friends but we’re just too socially refined and awkward to commit 😭😭

why does Gorgug sleep UNDER furniture when he's drunk. I thought it was a one-off thing w him sleeping under Fabian's couch after the first party in junior year, but I was just listening to pirate brawl and after he gets wasted the first night in Leviathan he specifically says he goes to sleep under the bed. what's his problem actually

The inability of sports bras to hold my boobs properly when I’m running is making me more and more tempted to run in my binder which I know is not a good thing to do but it would work so wellllll

[what-even-is-thiss]

You know a lot of men make excuses about why they can’t be helpful but when my grandma is sick we physically can’t stop my severely disabled grandpa from trying to help her anyways. Bringing her favorite blankets to her even when she hasn’t asked for them and whatnot.

On the one hand restarting my entire life is a really good prospect and a cool opportunity and on the other very heavy hand I’m grieving my whole life as it once existed and sitting in this weird limbo of trying to let go of things I don’t want to let go of but don’t really have anymore even though I know they will be truly gone soon and honestly this shit sucks

Weird when someone who went out of their way to travel to a different city to hold your hand till the last possible second and then wait in a waiting room while you had surgery and then feed you crackers and wheel you out of the hospital and drive four hours back home when they didn’t have to do any of that suddenly won’t really even text you back

I love the huge crossover between dropout and hermit craft. Istg 90% of the people i follow for one thing end up also liking the other

This is a phenomenon that needs studying

i don't know how to say this without being all 'kids these days' BUT kids do seem more sheltered nowadays regarding reading. all the kids' chapter books are called something like 'sir poops-a-lot and the massive fart' and people are absolutely vehement that a teenager can't read wicked because of its (nonexistent) smut and on threads right now people are seriously having a debate about whether 12 year olds can read ya books. when i was in year seven reading flowers in the attic was a rite of passage and now people are afraid of preteens knowing about the existence of sex.

The way the language has gotten so much more simplistic in middle grade books is insane to me. My friend and I were reading the first chapter of Goose Girl and I realized it would be edited to hell to make it short attention span friendly.

Nevermind the shit in Animorphs and Warrior Cats! It’s good for kids to read about difficult topics. Being a kid is difficult. Difficult things happen to you whether or not you’re allowed to read about it.

In one of the Percy Jackson myth books, which are Greek myths narrated by Percy, the book discusses how Poseidon raped Demeter. Percy basically looks directly into the camera and says “if something like this happens to you, please tell someone.”

What are kids with high reading levels supposed to read other than adult books? I read Interview with a Vampire at like 11 and it didn’t traumatize me. I just went “oh wow yikes. With his mother?!! okay moving on”

It's spring now which means the kids in my city have started drawing hopscotches on the sidewalk and as a rule I do every hopscotch I see because 1. Use it or lose it (ability to scotch) and 2. If a child got down on the hardscrabble streets of Boston Massachusetts to draw a scotch the least I can do is use it, but in doing the hopscotches, I've learned that about 50% of them are the typical 8-10 step scotch and the other 50% are. Somewhat avant-garde. And of course I'm not vetting the entire scotch before I start it so sometimes it's like haha 8 steps woo! Childlike whimsy! And sometimes they're 20 steps or 30 or they've got a section with three squares instead of two where you have to do a little Charleston to step on all three, or, memorably, FORTY one foot squares. A full BLOCK of jumping on one foot but I'm no quitter so once I've started Jigsaw Junior's fuckin hopscotch gauntlet I'm there til the end just a daily pot smoker in her thirties jumping kasa-obake style through an affluent suburb while some little proto-kennedy watches from his bedroom window rubbing his sadistic little third grade hands together and cackling. It's amazing. I love spring.

The Odyssey but retold as a low-stakes modern adventure of one guy out with his girlfriend leaving the bar with his buddies to do just one (1) simple thing real quick, it'll take like 15 minutes tops, he'll be right back, but then some bullshit happens and the trip keeps getting more complicated as more bullshit keeps happening while he just tries to get back to the bar because he promised his girlfriend that he'd get back and he knows that she's still there because she told him she'd wait there.

And by the time he finally gets back it's almost 3 am and the bar is about to close while she's sitting there stone cold sober, surrounded by 5 drunk guys unsuccessfully trying to convince her to give up on waiting for him and go home with one of them instead. And the guy shows up to proceed to beat the shit out of them before explaining himself to her like hey sorry bullshit kept happening, my phone fell into a storm drain and my wallet got stolen when I was trying to find someone who'd borrow me a phone so I could call and

[thekijs]

His girlfriend had been fending off the 5 drunk guys for most of the evening by explaining that even if she was going to ditch her boyfriend, she can't possibly leave without finishing her beer, which she is keeping perpetually full via careful sleight of hand where she's just pouring it back and forth into and out of the pitcher.

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.

That buys her another hour or so and then, finally, her boyfriend makes it back. He looks like shit, hair down and just a mess, he's wearing an entirely different jacket that he got from an alley, and barely recognizable—especially to 5 guys who've been drunk for hours now. He lurks for a minute, finds out what's going on, and proceeds to pull off the trick shot first try. Throws the jacket off, fixes his hair with a hair tie his girlfriend lends him, finally looks like himself again, and THEN beats the shit out of them with the pool cue.

yuh i was there, that's how it happened
