KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

[draconym]

i would rather see the information for an event handwritten in sharpie on a paper towel than see another AI generated flyer

sometimes artists worry if their art is actually capable of making the world a better place, or if its all just wasted effort. what you need to remember is: all art is evil, and the sole aspiration of the artist should be to maim as many onlookers as possible.

being sad and horny is a privilege

ADHD affects how I experience time, not how I experience attachment. I love you. I miss you. I just don't realize how long it’s been since I last said that, let alone messaged.

I understand that most normal functioning brains need regular engagement to maintain a bond. Absence doesn’t diminish my affection. My silence isn’t neglect or disinterest. It’s time blindness and object impermanence. The contact gap is purely neurological, not emotional. Thank you for being patient with my inconsistency and holding a seat in your heart for me.

just found out that accidentally in love by counting crows was literally made for shrek. they didnt just choose it. it didnt exist before. they asked counting crows to make a song for shrek 2 and thats how we got one of the best songs ever made. insane.

[wordfather]

counting crows knew shrek 2 would become one of the best movies ever made and had to act accordingly

[patheticperipatetic]

No, I don't think that's the one I'm--

[lostxanadu]

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

have a Jax fic in mind but it's at an agonizing snail's pace because I have this as my writer's block

[ali-theshipper]

No actually I will not forgive this fandom for treating the young abused homeless trans girl who was trapped in digital purgatory at the age of 18 like an irredeemable monster, thank you very much.

[jakebakingbaconpancakes]

I don't know how Jax fans who only watched the Youtube release coped with the following days after. Like if I was still reeling at the fact that Jax died but everyone else was screaming "Trans Jax confirmed!!!" I would've not been okay

At least watching the theater release gave me a 2-week breather to sit and understood the ending

And at one point I had the flaming hot take of "Leeroy Mateo should have died in the real world while Jax lived. How's that for a bittersweet ending?!" That's how bad it was

happy 9 year birthday to no take only throw

One of my favorite comic-memes of all time

Made myself sad by remembering that the last moment Jax was fucking happy was singing Daisy Bell with Pomni

[niyarest]

the amazing digital circus is a show about empathy and what it does to you if you go too long without a support system so the show starts with sympathizing with Pomni (the most empathetic person, easy), ep2 is empathizing with an NPC in a game (no flaws), ep3 is empathizing with a man who has dementia, ep4 is empathizing with someone who annoys you when they're unmasking, ep5 is asking you to empathize with a rich white woman and so on....

so it all works up to the empathy boss - a bush era edgelord millenial trans girl who thinks she's Max from Sam & Max and is inherently unworthy of love

and some people failed the empathy test

[deadsh33p]

Exactly the show is not asking you to forgive her the show is asking to empathize with her those are different things
