meow-mix-the-destroyer said: @argumate wow! again “i don’t know shit about judaism” takes less time to type and also, cool. if you’re allowed to insist that god isn’t real then it’s fully within the rights of theists to insist that god is real, yes? or else you’re supporting a bullshit double standard that’s been solely based on mainstream christianity and absofuckinglutely nothing else!

I fully support the free speech rights of theists and every other whack job to make their assertions in the public square, I definitely do not think that atheists should treat religious people the way that religious people treated atheists.

hot take uh

dont get mad at trans ppl for using the “wrong”/out of date terminology to describe their own experiences like

if a trans dude says “back when i was a girl” or “i was born in the wrong body” just. let them. if they feel it describes their experiences the best, then it’s good for them

as long as theyre not using it to describe other people who may not be comfortable with, it’s ok

[virovac]

I remember a similar post  about this concerning cultural differences. How people talk about past tense aspects can vary from country to country. We need to remember we aren’t all Americans on here.

[julestriesreallyhard]

Also everyone’s experiences are different. A trans friend of mine likes to talk about when she became a girl very intentionally because she has, of course, done a ton of soul-searching and that is actually what happened. She knows it doesn’t happen that way with all trans people but that’s her damn truth.

Impostor Syndrome is taken so I’m not sure what to call this but

Yesterday night I had the yucky feeling that everyone in that bar, close friends included, had been removed from their bodies which were now filled by an almost identical but nefarious version of themselves. I was there too, looking at them from behind a telescope (like, really far away) and seeing myself have nongenuine interactions with them. They were microcosms that were deliberately deceptive in their interactions with me.

I also had the feeling that my skin didn’t fit right.

And that I’d lied to the doctor who gave me the ADHD diagnosis, fooling him into diagnosing me when in fact I’m fine. 

I was also lying about the part where my friends were possessed by impostors. Whoa, lots of lying.

But today I put the pieces together, and it may seem obvious now but it took me a while

I’m the impostor? Like, that’s why my skin doesn’t fit. That’s why I’m lying all over the place. My friends are fine, they are not nefarious, but I am, and if they knew me, they wouldn’t like me. They only know me when I’m being normal and they think that’s who I really am. But that me is filled with trying to be normal and trying to be good. This is just me. 

Except that I am trying. I’m trying to persuade people that I’m crazy (for attention) when in fact I’m fine.

I mentioned a low-key variation of this whole scenario to Sam a few years ago and Sam said that I’d have to be crazy to pretend to be crazy. I held onto that a bit but right now it just feels like, what does he know about manipulative narcissists anyway? He’s just some guy who doesn’t understand feelings.

I have to go to therapy but it sounds like there’s a hospital outside my apartment so I’m not sure I can leave because I’m not supposed to go back to the hospital. I have to be with Bunker. 

I am not sure if I should share this with anyone. It’s super weird. Is it even true? But. I don’t want to be so alone. I want to start over except that I just did and I hate it.

[calamitaswrath]

Fantasy things that I can never get enough of

Airships that literally are just flying ships

Underground dwarven halls

Cave systems that have their own source of lighting, like glowing mushrooms, moss or water

Elvish settlements that are build on, in and around trees

Dragon hoards in abandoned dwarven halls

Abandoned castles, preferably recently abandoned

Villages build in cliff sides

Floating islands

Towers standing mysteriously and/or ominously in the landscape

Ridicilously huge libraries that may or may not defy the laws of physics

[julestriesreallyhard]

Curious about recently abandoned castles. Like, what about overgrown castles? Those are pretty dope. Recently abandoned castles, I imagine, are just a little musty and maybe the milk in the fridge went bad.

OKAY SIT DOWN SHUT UP, WE’RE GONNA TALK COLORS

THIS IS SAPPHIRE

THIS IS TEAL

THIS IS PERIWINKLE

THIS IS AZURE

 AND THIS IS TURQUOISE

WONDER WHY THOSE ALL DON’T LOOK LIKE THE SAME COLOR? BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT 

OTHER THAN BEING PART OF THE SAME FAMILY OF BLUES, THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME FUCKING COLOR! WHY WOULD THEY ALL BE THE SAME FUCKING COLOR! DO YOU THINK WE JUST NAME NEW COLORS FOR KICKS!?!?!?

WHEN DESCRIBING A CHARACTER’S GOD FORSAKEN EYE COLOR, PICK ONE YA GODDAMN HIPPIE

[sohnderleere-deactivated2018072]

As someone who is colourblind this post is fucking hilarious because they are in fact all the same fucking colour

[diogenes420]

things heating up in the fuckin uuhhhhhhhhh BLUE fandom 

[fangirltothefullest]

So uh….. fun fact about turquoise

They come in varying degrees of blue and green.

[julestriesreallyhard]

So do the rest of the things on this list: sapphires (which come in yellow, purple, orange, and green! But not red, because that’s... the exact same stone, but called a ruby), dabbling ducks (teals), creeping myrtle (a US term for Vinca minor, the dwarf periwinkle), and azure (the color of the sky on a clear day.) 

It’s best to think of it this way: colors just are (there’s more to it than that, but that’s irrelevant here.) Things just are (there’s more to it than that, but that’s irrelevant here.) Color names happen when someone looks at a duck, looks at the paint chip they are holding (not really) and say “hey, instead of calling this color #008080, we could name it after this here duck.” Not all teals look like that. But that one sure did, and here we are.

So basically, the semi-precious stone turquoise inspired someone to name a color that (pre-hex codes and other color/number systems) was otherwise unidentifiable. It’s useful, if not entirely representative.

Of course, it does lead to some confusion. Fangirltothefullest is right that if someone says “the softly turquoise waters of the [heavily mineralized] forest pool” and I have the neon green middle-of-bottom-row turquoise as a paperweight on my desk, I could easily conjure up a very different imagine in my head. A turquoise [color] pool might not be potable, but it looks soothing; a neon green pool conjures up poison and/or radioactivity (please note that high levels of reactivity, like high levels of poison, are poisonous.)

Oh and finally, if you google “turquoise color” your google search will yield 50 different shades. So it depends on the paint company, the fashion company, the computer graphics guy, idk.

Anyway, 50 shades of turquoise: like 50 Shades of Grey but Christward wears this:

Someone mentioned that Vines are the same length as a single turn in D&D and now a lot of things seem a lot more plausible.

[julestriesreallyhard]

Note that it’s a round, which consists of one turn by each person, all in six seconds.

i’m in a poly relationship with both your parents

[julestriesreallyhard]

Make sure you treat them well but also keep your self worth in mind and ensure that your boundaries are respected <3

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

u know the trope of mean girls saying something nice to someone’s face then badmouthing them when they walk away, well yesterday I experienced the better version which was a girl walking past a group of girls and waving and they all demurely said hi and kept walking and when she was out of earshot one of them said “I seriously think I would die for her” and the rest said “RIGHT??”

[julestriesreallyhard]

When I think something nice about a friend, I fucking say it, whether they’re there or not. It’ll give people a good impression of my friend, which is important. And if it gets back to my friend, it might warm their awesome little heart.

Although this sounds more like a group crush situation which is cool too.

[turing-tested]

Why cant you just use craigslist or your thousands of followers to adopt out your pets??? Literally, with how popular you are, people would adopt them out because Tumblr Funnyboy 5 is giving them away. And Craigslist would let people in your state know. Or hell, just tie them in front of the humane society, and they'll be taken in anyways. You have plenty of options, and how many have you tried?

bro there’s so much going on this ask but i keep coming back to the fact that you think that tumblr followers amount to literally any real world benefits

i mean aside from your whole entire yone yes i have given exactly one cat away to exactly one follower and its genuinely incredible how my inner voice that literally always tells me I’m not trying ‘hard’ enough has corporealized onto the internet in the form of anonymous message

[julestriesreallyhard]

“people would adopt them out because Tumblr Funnyboy 5 is giving them away”

That right there is the mark of a responsible pet owner.

[turing-tested]

on that note please actually do give me dollars and cents so i can take care of the animals i have at my house

[julestriesreallyhard]

Sorry, I found it, I’m a dumb dumb.

Hey, how do I do this? I scrolled down but couldn’t find any instructions.

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

not to be dramatic, but hearing someone acknowledge their mental illness and their symptoms in casual conversation or social setting is so affirming.

when someone says “yeah, I’ve been tired lately because of my depression. I’m gonna talk to my doctor about my meds,” or like they mention coping with intrusive thoughts, or delusions, or hallucinations, or focus issues, or compulsive behavior, etc. etc., like it’s normal, bc for them and for me and for so many people, one or more of those things ARE normal……..

TALK about a shot of serotonin STRAIGHT to my whole being

[julestriesreallyhard]

Thank you for writing this! I talk openly about my mental illness and sometimes I worry about it making people uncomfortable. But as long as one person hears me and feels validated and encouraged, it’s worth it.

[faustic-trobairitz]

Not to bring up peter jacksons h*bb*t trilogy (yuck) on main, but do you know how horrible of a writing choice was making the elves vegetarians for laughs? Elven history is full of legendary hunters. Hell, the god that first taught them how to road trip (an important part of elven culture) is literally the GOD OF HUNTING. In fact, we have more evidence for elves hunting than farming! Implying otherwise is celegorm erasure and i will NOT stand for it!

[penny-anna]

possible explanations:

1) they just fed the dwarves lettuce to fuck with them bcos they’re assholes

2) elves don’t hunt for meat they hunt to get up close to animals & pet them like wolverine

3) the elves in rivendell are mistakenly under the impression that DWARVES are vegetarians and wanted them to feel welcome

[gillioncuntstrider]

...they still made elves play harps... when harps are dwarves thing...

[julestriesreallyhard]

Is this not more evidence for theory 3? The elves are *correctly* under the impression that dwarves enjoy the harp and they want them to feel welcome.

Shout out to all the childless whores that be fucking up them pretzel lines at disney world. Y’all are the worst and some random mom out there hates you.

[shutyourmoustache]

Update: The Post also thinks you’re a weird childless whore.

[drinkyourjuiceshelby]

Proud to be a pretzel-buying, childless whore

Reblog if you're proudly a pretzel-eating, childless whore.

Don’t get me wrong, I like kids, but if Disneyland had some sort of blackout dates where no kids were allowed, I’d pay the no-doubt hefty ticket price to go at least once.

And an opinion that I know makes some parents REALLY angry: there is no point in taking babies or toddlers to a theme park. Theme parks are  overwhelming and involve long lines. No infant or toddler I’ve ever known has coped well with those things. 

[seananmcguire]

And it’s not for them, it’s for you.  They won’t remember a thing; you’ll get the cute pictures.  How about taking cute pictures somewhere that doesn’t cost a mortgage payment and make your child miserable?

[julestriesreallyhard]

So I don’t even like Disneyland, but I do hate the argument that “they won’t remember it so it doesn’t mean anything.” Doesn’t their enjoyment in the present, and the cherished memory for a few years, make it worth the while even though they’ll have forgotten all about it by age 33?

Except in this case, of course, because lines and rides and uncanny valley and before you ask, I do hate fun.
