fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes
May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

I need this.
Reblogged last year, hoping it comes this year
Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!
Guys I reblogged this and then wrote an 8000 word story I didn’t even have a solid plan for. Reblog this shit.
Please, great fortune cookie of writing. I beg of you.
I need this right now man!
🥺 I need some help breaking through writers block
Gimmie!!
I didn’t even reblog, just tucked it into my likes, and wrote 2.5K when I got home
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
i need all the help i can get for finals
Hey so
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.
My life is pretty good but definitely sharing this out for all my folks who might need it!
maybe my life will finally change for the better
Absolutely losing it at this Reddit post
And the update
She buttered Jorts
The outrage summed in a perfect Tweet:
i think popular media culture is poisoned in the following ways:
if you like something, people will make fun of you because you have admitted to experiencing a sincere emotion. this makes people defensive about what they like.
if you don’t like something, people will take your opinion personally and attack you. this makes people feel like they have to have a very good reason to dislike something.
people reach for reasons to like vs dislike things that are serious and often politically relevant so they can defend themselves from other opinion-havers.
these positions mutually reinforce each other until it is assumed that any declaration of liking or disliking something is both personally and politically relevant by default.
i am forced to look at this every time one of my fandom posts blows up.
I hate reblogging twitter captures but this one I had to
Can’t risk it
The duck of creativity. I waited so long for it.
absolutely gobsmacked at just how bad colonel volgin is at his job
“Why were you sent here? Was it for the legacy? The philosophers legacy? the culmination of wealth set aside by america, china, and russia during the second world war? the hundred billion dollars? Well too bad you’ll never find it in my secret vault beneath this weapons lab!! Boy I’m a good interrogator!”
“Who’s the spy??” Volgin yells during his interrogation of snake, while the boss, EVA, and ocelot are in the room
Spotting Big Boss’ small dick through an officer’s uniform was the most competent thing he did all game. Second only to the unintended ramifications of him firing one of the 2 mini-nukes he was gifted within fifteen minutes of receiving it for shits and giggles.
hold up, you got it backwards. Snake’s exposure to radiation at Bikini Atoll actually made his dick huge. The problem was his meat was way bigger than Raikov’s, which Volgin just happened to grab for funsies
I am sorry. This is just flat out false. MGS2 and MGS3 are very firm about the gigantic size of Raiden’s dick. The president groping it, the guard stating “man, I wish I had that!” when he is naked on the torture bed. Raiden having a huge package is very much confirmed canon.
Whereas the speculation that the radiation that made Big Boss infertile would somehow grant him mammoth meat is a fiction that exists solely within your mind.
Not true. When Big Boss calls Para-Medic to save for the first time she tells him about how radiation made Godzilla huge, and he responds, “that must be why my pants are so tight lately”. Paz’s tape in Ground Zeroes about BB and Kaz wrestling naked in the shower also implies that his dick is not only bigger than Kaz’s, but also just plain big.
I concede and apologize for my tone. That’s solid evidence to the claim.
I’m glad you the all of you could reasonably and calmly argue the very important matter of Big Boss’s cock size.
like and reblog this image to send me directly to hell

Art forgery is the best crime tbh. It requires absolutely incredible artistic talent, technical skill, and attention to detail to make convincing fakes. Does anyone get hurt from it? No! The only people who suffer for it are the extremely wealthy who want the prestige of having original paintings in their own homes. It’s full of international intrigue and mystery. Perfect.
Also… art forgers like van Meegeren sometimes become a kind of folk hero. A swindler, sure, but a gentleman’s swindler.
I liked this guy’s story, Mark Landis, who conned several dozen museums into displaying his forgeries, but when the FBI came after him they couldn’t do anything because he had always given them away as donations. They said if they could have found that he’d ever taken anything in exchange they would have prosecuted him, but all he wanted was get to out of the house and meet people.
“The first painting Landis “donated” was a copy of a work by Maynard Dixon, an artist well-known for his paintings of cowboys and Indians. It started as impulse, Landis says, but then “everybody was just so nice and treated me with respect and deference and friendship, things I was very unused to — I mean, actually not used to at all. And I got addicted to it.”” And it looks like all his forgeries are done with cheap materials, like markers and Hobby Lobby frames.
Ok, but Wolfgang Beltracchi is probably one of the best Fraud Artists in the world.
His career brought him millions upon millions of dollars and lasted almost 40 years. He finally admitted to painting fraudulent art after the white paint he used came under scrutiny.
“ Bob Simon: What do you think this Max Ernst would be worth? Wolfgang Beltracchi: This one? Simon: Yeah. Beltracchi: $5 million, I think. Simon: $5 million. And you can do it in three days? Beltracchi: Yeah, oh yes, yes, sure, or quicker” -From a 60 minutes interview with Bob Simon
In The interview with Beltracchi, he said that none of his forgeries are copies, they’re all original works that the famous artists could have painted.
“Beltracchi estimates he has done 25 Max Ernsts. He is not copying an existing work. He’s painting something he thinks Ernst might have done if he’d had the time or felt like it.” - The Con Artist: A multi-million dollar art scam
His wife was also in on the scam, she would dress up in old clothing and take pictures holding the paintings with old cameras to fake proof of the paintings’ ages.
At the end of the interview with Wolfgang Beltracchi he was asked if he felt he had done anything wrong, his answer was “ Yeah, I used the wrong kind of paint”
Just … the levels of con there, the fake photos and … wow. That’s incredible.
Heroes
Also fun fact we learned in class today: Michelangelo carved a sculpture of a Roman god, broke off the arm, and then buried it. The sculpture was dug up and was considered to be an authentic Roman artefact, until Michelangelo came along with the missing arm and called shenanigans on himself, just to prove he was as skilled a sculptor as the ancient Romans.
honestly mike? chill.
YEHS U GO ARTISTS
when you think about this its basically reverse-plagiarism
