no matter how much trauma therapy you do or how determined you are to Face Your Past and heal from it as best as you can i think it's obscenely easy to make the mistake of underestimating how soul-crushingly isolating it is to be in The Place Where It Happened, because it's really difficult not to categorise everyone around you as either Directly Involved in What Happened, A Complicit Bystander in What Happened, Aware of What Happened, or Oblivious to What Happened

[valtsv]

and of course the only way to process What Happened is to confront it somehow. so you see the issue here.

hey kids did you know that computers didn't used to automatically connect to the internet. it used to make this screaming noise. we should have listened.

[july-19th-club]

simply cannot ever resist what i call the little mermaid or the tin man or the pinnochio plot, the one about a character who is either inhuman or human but outside in some way, constantly searching for whatever it is that they consider to be the quintessential proof of humanity, preoccupied by it so deeply that they fail to realize the proof is in the act and fact of the search itself

My ex-wife will be insanely jealous when she finds out I am now in a parasocial relationship with an incredibly hot V-Tuber

I'm reminded of that one post where a guy said put a sparkly pink unicorn sticker on the best forklift in the warehouse, and confirmed that it is indeed always available for him to use now.

[desasterdan]

Oh. My. Fucking. God. This is 100% true.

I was employed at a workshop and somehow, every time I needed it, the 5.0 allen wrench was missing from its dedicated places. That was why I ordered a set of allen wrenches just for myself. And since I'm a horrible queer and also a huge fan of color coding I ordered the rainbow allen wrench set. Nobody ever touched it, not a single one went missing. Ever. You couldn't find my colleagues dead with them in their hands. One time someone even refused to use them after looking for his set and finding it missing.

Seriously, there's nobody as insecure as a middle-aged man working in maintenance.

when i worked as a quality control inspector in a sheet metal factory, my favourite department to visit was welding. every other department would thieve palette jacks and hardhats like no ones business, but no one ever stole from welding. why? because they had painted their gear pastel pink and decorated it all with sparkly unicorn stickers and it was WONDERFUL

seeing old gruff men with zero qualms about wearing a sparkly pink hardhat was the best part of that job and i loved hanging out with them. they hacked the workplace and every other department avoided their pink tools like the plague

[homunculus-argument]

Nothing slapped my shit back into place like someone pointing out that the "genius gifted child with so much potential who got burnout and mental illness" is just the nerd equivalent to the jock "could have been a pro at sportsball if it wasn't for the injury".

Too bad the prophet Cassandra never met Odysseus

[teaboot]

They say if she made a prophecy Nobody would believe her

[edgar-allan-possum]

I’ve gotta say, that is exactly the kind of stupid thing that probably would circumvent a curse.

[elidyce]

Cassandra: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO REGRET THIS SO MUCH YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW. 

Odysseus: Regret it why?

Cassandra: You won’t believe me if I tell you. If I prophecy, nobody believes me. That is my curse.

Odysseus: … I’m Nobody. Fill me in. 

*A couple of months later* 

Odysseus: HELLO PENELOPE, I AM HERE PRECISELY ON TIME AND NOT YEARS LATE incidentally I rescued and adopted a Trojan seer while I was away, she’s great, got me home really fast, Cassandra this is your new mother who’s not going to treat you like shit. 

Penelope: … I’m going to need more details, but okay, sure. 

Cassandra: *in tears* I love you, new family. 

[cipheramnesia]

Cassandra: Penelope, I’ve had another vision.

Penelope, sighs: Go tell your father.

The hottest girl you know has a truly unwatchable thing to recommend you

[teaboot]

Raising my brother I always taught him “only two things will get you out of trouble and that’s a good defensive argument or making it funny” and. Well. Now his principal hates his fucking guts. But the city sheriff thinks he’s hilarious. So I think I’ll keep standing by that

[playwrongs]

In King Ludwig II’s defense, if I had basically infinite discretionary funds, was accountable to absolutely no one, and was king of a country full of picturesque landscapes, you couldn’t stop me from building myself a big gay fairytale castle on a mountaintop either.

[playwrongs]

This post is spreading and I feel bad about it because it contains misinformation, so for the record: Ludwig II did not in fact have infinite discretionary funds. He only acted as if he did. He never dipped into the public coffers for his building projects, but he spent his own fortune extravagantly and borrowed heavily from everyone he could think of. By 1885, the year before his death, he was 14 million marks in debt.

I always find this inspiring because try to name another prince of a German state. What did the rulers of Hamberg do? The Grand Duchy of Hesse? Gone with the wind, no one knows them anymore. But Mad Lad Ludwig built a top 5 most famous castle in the entire world. Money is fake, castles are real. Go broke and die like a winner.

[the-barefoot-hatter]

EXCUSE ME, this is still wrong. He built 3.

Neuschwanstein, literally the inspo for the castles in Disney's Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella

Hohenschwangau, the practical castle

Linderhof, the final, the smallest, and the MOST fab.

Every room is incredible and the park is beautiful, but shoutout to The Bedroom, the biggest room

The Hall of Mirrors, which he probably wandered by candle light because he was a serious night owl

The Dining Room, with a wishing table that lowers to the kitchen, and rises with a crank, returning magically full of food

The Venus Grotto, constructed for the sole use of Ludwig to larp to his heart's content

A full artificial cave, it features a waterfall, fake stalactites, and a custom-designed swan boat floating on an artificial lake. The first electricity in Bavaria was generated here, to change the colors of the stage lights and to power Ludwig's fountain and wave machine.

Now THAT'S ~ ✨✨ 14 million marks in debt ✨✨~

[marzipanandminutiae]

I love that- and I cannot emphasize this enough -none of this was tax money

the public paid for zero of his fairytale castle hobby

rare European monarch W as far as spending money lavishly goes

[nudistcat]

And he's still pretty fondly remembered more than a century after the abolition of the Bavarian monarchy because "wants to play Sleeping Beauty with pretty men in pretty castles" is a VERY mild personality disorder by German politician standards.
