Tears in my eyes I have been waiting for this day

One thing I love about Babylon 5 is the idea that humans got out there into space and found out we were actually the least melodramatic motherfuckers in the galaxy.

Like okay, you've got the species whose rulers live their entire lives in a dark room with no furniture to symbolise their commitment. The people who directly equate hair circumference with social class and get super angry if all six of their penises aren't accurately depicted on an action figure. The reptilian marsupials who will force a guy to become the central prophet of a new religion whether he likes it or not. The celestial entities who are so obsessed with being mysterious they pretend they can't breathe normal air and wear fake spacesuits everywhere they go.

Even the minor species are like this. The Roswell grey type guys who literally communicate only in crop circles. The ancient beings who will make you wait four hours for them to answer a phone call and then just say "Zog" and hang up on you. The species that apparently consists solely of ten of the same guy, and every one of them starts every conversation with a comment about how much it sucks having a menial job.

Imagine being the first human to meet any of these. You would have to immediately go back to Earth and sign up for a series of Shakespearean improv workshops.

I love asking people how their parents met. You always get an interesting reply. My best friend’s parents met on the relatively new internet in 1999. My other friend’s parents met at Burger King when one was the manager and the other was a regular customer. My parents met at the beach because they were neighbors in their rental houses, mom was on a church trip and dad was getting blackout drunk every night with his friends next door.

Tell me how your parents met in the tags.

There's no way to fit this story in tags.

Mom (A) was dating this guy we'll call S. According to Mom, S was divorced and had ties organized crime although was not actively a criminal during their time together.

Dad was dating M who had expensive taste, so Dad went to S to see if he could get into this crime stuff to make more money. S told Dad to not be stupid and suggested that Dad dump M and start dating A instead.

So he did. And that's (reportedly) how my parents met.

Reblog this and tell me what was your biggest crying over a piece of fiction. You can be vague if you don't want to spoil.

#The Shepherds Crown #by Pratchett #that was probably my most Ugly Cry #Longest cry is Hadestown

Okay I have lived with this ambiguity long enough.

THIS EMOJI:

Is it:

I am high fiving you over text

I am praying in a vaguely secular way for whatever you said to come true

I have my hands folded in front of me like I'm about to white person namaste

Some wildly unlikely other option

Remaining time: 2 days 10 hours

lilisonna

Highly contextual.

Can mean "thoughts and prayers"

Usually means "thank you"

Sometimes "please and thank you'

i feel like im a weird age where i got just a blurry glimpse at the world Before. it used to be cold in the mornings and websites had fun games and the search results showed you what you searched for. covid wasn't a thing. can anybody fucking hear me. did i dream it all????

lilisonna

And you couldn't have a group text with your friends, and people who got cancer always died, and queers had to hide in the closet, and women got fired for being pregnant...

Now is better. Some things are worse, but now is still better.

#and that's just the stuff that's in my lane #Black and Brown people could add a whole new paragraph #or three #don't fall for the nostalgia bullshit #it's not perfect #and we have to fight entropy always #but we're moving forward #even if it's just an inch at a time

Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.

OH WHY NOT?

I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.

Bagel what are your powers

acabosetotal

FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD
