if i was pretentious, id say that the final scene in end of evangelion is an object lesson in human subjectivity. the primary theme of EoE (and a major theme of evangelion as a whole) is how differently we all experience things, and the inherent friction caused by how we'll never fully understand one another. we all saw the same scene, but the fanbase cant agree on, like, any part of it. it meant different things to different people, and a lot of interpretations are equally valid. by trying and failing to form a consensus, the audience is part of the art

and yanno what? i am pretentious

[futchlings]

"incurious" still GOAT insult. You could be better but you're not. You could learn but you won't, and for no good reason, just a base dispositional apathy. Get fucked

my work doesnt normally even allow phones, but today we're watching the world cup together. bosses are rooting for messi specifically, and im rooting against argentina. not to post sports on main, but holy shit the vibes are rancid. i think the ball was kicked maybe 3 times before argentina fouled. both teams are playing with venom. every time i look up theres a brit lying in the fetal position. cant be doing that shit in the american world cup. maybe theres crying in futbol, but theres absolutely no crying in soccer

what people dont get about divorces is the Whole Thing About Dogs

i have written custody plans for labrador retrievers more complex than i have for children. i went to four years of undergrad, three years of law school, and sat for the bar exam to write up custody exchange provisions for dogs with hyphonated last names

my clients are paying $295 an hour for me to go to court and litigate who makes veterinary decisions for Chuckles the Goldfish and theres literally nothing i can do to stop them

framing these tags and hanging them up in my office to remind me that it can always be worse

[billymayslesbian]

heres the thing. i enjoy well done heavy subject matter, you can look at my track record of interests as evidence for that, but i do think writers who wont shut up about how complicated and controversial they are for including ~dark themes~ in their writing need to a christmas carol style be forced to sit down and watch all 4 seasons of 13 reasons why to see what happens if you try to incorporate a bunch of heavy stuff in your work with 0 research or regard for people affected

[billymayslesbian]

slight clarification: people in the tags are saying "yea there needs to be levity between heavy moments for a story to be effective", which is also very true! but not what this post is about. this post is about how if you write about abuse and murder and oppression but you dont actually know what youre talking about or have a purpose for including it beside shock value and proving how mature you are your work will read like it was written by a twelve year old

This video is a perfect demonstration of just how badly elderly people need to be introduced to video games. Like it should be a thing in facilities and assisted living, it's like a no brainer, and could enrich these people's live SO MUCH!!!

OP: "Decarbonized formaldehyde is great. Just wash daikons with decarbonized formaldehyde and they turn white."

"Decarbonized formaldehyde" (脫碳甲醛) is an online phrase used to make fun of people that blindly avoid chemicals. Formaldehyde (H2CO) decarbonized is water (H2O).

I like how looking for this post on your blog makes it look like you spent 3 hours checking whether or not apples are a type of fruit

Tumblr being the "piss on the poor" reading comprehension site makes sense when you realize that 79% of adults in the US are functionally illiterate. Same goes for Twitter and TikTok.

that's a real high number, sport. where'd you get it?

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hey anon

please tell me you didn't google "US literacy rates" and then make the funniest possible mistake one could make in that situation

Something I think about a lot is when dj khaled spent a day lost at sea on a jet ski literally just because he drove away and got lost and started live posting about it and as he got increasingly panicked he started making like inspirational insta stories about his opps wanting him to fail even though he was entirely responsible for the situation and just started saying shit like “they don’t want you to WIN. they don’t want you to get found when you’re lost at sea in the dark”

This is what I would do if I was Count Binface and I actually won:

Resign from office on the grounds that I only ran for the bants, triggering a further by-election

Immediately announce my candidacy for the by-election.

“I was on a strict diet during Episode VIII, and she was like, ‘Kid, get into that fridge and take some chocolate bars. I have many there.’ And I did,” he recalls. “I failed my diet because Carrie Fisher told me to. And it [felt] great.”

This is the Carrie Fisher post of body positivity reblog for a chocolate bar from her fridge

I thought about just tagging this 'nuff said, but it's not.

I want to say something to all of the women under 50 on this site. Ready? You do not have to be over 50 to start taking up space.

Can I make that blink? Is that a thing Tumblr can do? Because, seriously. The sooner you believe you are allowed to take up space, the better life will be.

here comes the airplane

👥 Readers added context they thought people might want to know

If Utena Tenjou ate a lithium-ion battery, she would turn into an electric car, not an airplane.

Did you find this helpful?

Yes

Yes

It’s a big mistake to think you’re the only one who can turn into a electric car
