When someone gives the advice of “don’t be afraid to disappoint your parents” they don’t just mean taking music theory in college or starting a YouTube channel.
It also means wearing things they might not approve of. Using accommodations that they might not think you need. Not falling for their guilt trips. Eating when you’re hungry, not when it suits them and their idea of your weight or health. Making your own friends instead of seeking the stamp of approval from them.
Of course, some parents are stricter than others, and some use abuse to keep you from expressing yourself. But do what you can, even if it seems small.
Otherwise, when your parents are no longer in the picture, you’ll try to find it somewhere else to get validation. A strict boss, an abusive partner, a selfish friend.
Going against your parent’s wishes is developmentally healthy. Not doing so stunts your independence and self-regulation. You shouldn’t be living to constantly please others, even the people who love you.
A post I saw, but couldn’t repost. But I am so thankful I have found it…🩷
Please read it…for me, it is the biggest Easter egg there ever was in GO…they are sitting in the Garden of Eden, surrounded by the new universes, with Champagne in their glasses (to the world - to our world/worlds), with the apple still intact and without wings…they did it. They gave them their ending as an „us“…hidden, but there. And I love it…🥹
i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping
this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back
additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you
I know most people won't see this, much less Rachel Talalay, but I want her to know that I for one appreciate all that she and the production team did. The acting was lovely. The little animations were top notch and evoked that little s1 flair. You can tell how much love and joy went into it.
They were stuck with having to put lipstick on a pig, and by god was it nice and accurate lipstick.
Some happy stranger things post-canon party headcanons because all of the angst is killing me

"Mike is listening to Good Luck Babe and throwing up " this "mike is listening to Subway and ugly crying " that "Mike listening to chappel roan and that's when he finally realized he's going to die unhappy in a miserable comphet relationship."
Okay fine.
But have you ever considered Nancy wheeler is Listening To The Subway and all she can think about is Barb. How the song plays she's got a way she thinks about Robin and when Chappel start singing she got away she immediately thinks about Barb and starts crying having a mental break down.
Nancy listen to Good Luck Babe and she is reminded about how she was making out with steve and was completely miserable and how Barb was right and Barb would have 100% said "I told you so".
How the song Casual is her and Barb how she acted like there was nothing there even when there was Even when they use to make out in Barbs car before dropping her off at school. How they' shut the door into Barb room and lock it before dancing together. How Nancy tried to act like what her and Barb had wasn’t this huge as deal when it was and she should have acted like it was.
Robin dancing to Hot to go and singing the lyrics to a giggling Nancy who give her the biggest I'm im love with you eye roll ever?
Did you ever think how Baddie Nancy would look with femininomenon playing in the background as she teaches her nieces and Nephews how to use a gun to protect herself.
Have you considered just how Chappel roan coded Nancy is have you???????
i’ve been riding the high of short hair & pantsuit nancy wheeler after the finale but actually i can’t stop thinking about post-finale ronance that are both living together in massachusetts and both weaving in and out of masculine and feminine styles as time goes on like. their closest meshing to become one that they both just grab pieces out of. nancy having short hair for awhile but then letting it get to bob length, that stays natural and wavy and floofy some days, but some days she straightens it and adds a chunky headband. robin grows her hair out for a few more months before chopping even shorter than it was in season 4, and she often wears baggy jeans with oversized striped shirts, but sometimes she wears tights and a denim skirt with boots and a sweater. nancy wears pantsuits and pencil skirts often for work, but one day she comes downstairs to go grocery shopping on a saturday morning wearing robin’s camo cargo pants and a tank top and after robin sees her, she has to do a lap around the kitchen before they can leave. for nancy’s fancy work outings, sometimes robin attends in pretty much a full suit, tie and all, but sometimes occasionally a silk dress with gaudy statement earrings and a choker necklace. in the summer of 1995, nancy cuts all her hair off this time. like full pixie cut. her most common outfit is a plain tank top and baggy denim or cargo shorts, but she occasionally wears a long slip dress with a long sleeve underneath when it starts to get colder out.
there’s absolutely something to be said about ‘booktok’ books being largely wattpad quality written erotica i’m certainly not reading them however having seen a guy on tiktok make a video like ‘all the women in your life are READING PORN’ about a book he picked up and read in his FEMALE FRIEND’S HOUSE in a tone of scandalised horror and disgust i actually don’t think men should be making those criticisms. he said he picked it up expecting a romance and was horrified it was GOONER SHIT he said specifically like ‘who are you getting your pussy wet FOR??’ in a tone of revulsion. idk man im not sure shes the weird one. i kind of wish you were dead
"a lot of books that are successful on booktok are not very good" and "people can read what they want and we need to stop being so fucking weird about women enjoying erotica" are both correct statements
