it is soooo hard to talk about how isolating it is it be ace without sounding like you’re painting the rest of humanity as sex-obsessed weirdos but like. from an outside perspective you do not understand how that shit is in everything lmao

[luidilovins]

Just turn on the radio and listen to ten songs and you’ll notice that at least 9/10 songs are about sex, romance, crushes, love or breakup and although there’s nothing wrong with that, it can be REALLY alienating as an ace/aro. There’s a million and one things to write songs about, and sometimes I just wanna hear a song about goddamn grilled cheese sandwitches, but media industries know they can bank on the assumption that sexual attraction and romantic investment is a universal experience (it doesn’t help that big movie and music industries have gotten downright lazy and are just rehashing tried and tested formulas that hit largest demographics with the least amount of effort or brainpower but that’s another conversation altogether)

Outside of Jughead and Todd Chavez, people like me don’t exist. They just don’t. Even doccumentaries about ace/aro people are purposefully showcased as great tragedies.

When I was a kid I thought my future was to become some cold pantsuit who lived in a city flat somewhere and my only friends would be cats. I legitimate thought that solitude and bitterness was my only option and you have no idea how hard it was to have a reason to live long enough to be pe proved otherwise.

I mostly watch children’s cartoons because the content creators CAN’T rely on tittilating scenes or sexual violence for shock value.

I end up with an eclectic taste in music looking for something, anything that might resonate and make me feel like a person. Instead I ended up listening to music that have otherworldly ambiance and lyrics that are either about escaping, or purposefully left for listener interpretation or downright being abducted by aliens because it makes more sense then realizing that I’m An Actual Human Being.

Sometimes I still can’t picture my future. I struggle to imagine myself with wrinkles.

No. He is a national treasure.

I can’t even fully express my love for Macaulay Culkin. I loved his recent interviews with Jimmy Fallon and with Ellen (in one of them he’s wearing red nail polish and I just love that about him too), I love his website bunnyears.com, I especially love him in Party Monster and in Saved, I love that he was in a Velvet Underground cover band called Pizza Underground that changed all the lyrics to be about pizza, and I love how weird and awkward he is.

[keenarnor]

He also shows up in Redlettermedia vids and he’s always fun in them

[aphony-cree]

Tabloids said Culkin had a $6,000 a day heroin addiction, Culkin has been very vocal about denying that he was ever addicted to heroin

If you don’t know about Macaulay Culkin’s childhood other than “he was the richest child actor of his time” please take a minute to read this

When Home Alone was at the height of its fame I saw him on a talk show saying he slept on the couch at home. His dad, who’d insisted on being on the panel with him, laughed it off as “we’d fallen on hard times but we’ll be moving to a bigger place soon.” Macaulay later said “He wanted me to know and my brother to know that he was in charge and that if he didn’t want us to sleep on a bed, we weren’t going to sleep on a bed.”

His father, Kit, was also a child actor but never made it very far. He insisted on being Macaulay’s manager and simultaneously hated him for being talented and pressured him to be famous so he could get rich 

Macaulay has said he has scars from his father’s physical abuse

All the kids were forced into acting but Macaulay and Keiran were the most successful. Thier father would book them for acting work without discussing it with them, and after long days on set they’d have to sit with their father for hours planning for the next day’s work. They rarely had any free time 

When his parents filed for divorce the custody battle focused mainly on who would get to be the kids’ manager because that person got 15% of their earnings. It’s unknown if his mother’s motives were financial or trying to keep their father from having a position of power over them, but his father’s motives were definitely financial

Macaulay hasn’t spoken to his father in 25 years and doesn’t know if he ever will. In response, his father told reporters “I no longer consider him my son”

All the stuff about Macaulay being a has-been who can’t find work is untrue. He’s still persued for acting parts but is very selective about which projects he gets involved in. He’s turned down roles that went on to make millions, including a lead in The Big Bang Theory. He has no regrets about passing on those roles and says his happiness is worth more to him

I fully support Macaulay Culkin being a goofy guy who does the work he wants to do and uses what’s left of his childhood earnings to relax and enjoy life

guess that explains why audience score always seems so much more accurate to my viewing experiences than the tomatometer ever is

[collectivefandomstuff]

Cassie: So, have you decided what you’re dressing up as for Halloween yet?

Tim: [on his laptop] Of course. We had a whole day seminar about it last month.

The Titans:

Kon: Jesus. You Bats do everything at 150 percent.

Bart: A whole day? Why on earth would it take that long?

Tim: [looks up] Dressing up in Gotham is… tricky.

Cassie: …yeah. We’re gonna need a bit more than that.

Tim: [sits back]

Tim: 2014. Dick dresses up as Bruce Wayne. He completely disappears into the role because playing Bruce is “funny”. He accidentally gets roped into a mid-level meeting at W.E. where he agrees to throw out the 2015 budget.

Cassie: Seriously?

Tim: 2017. Jason decides to piss off Bruce by dressing up as Superman. Since most Gotham citizens haven’t really seen Superman, the headlines on November 1st are all about how Superman went on a killing spree and shot three gangleaders.

Kon: [frowning] I don’t remember that.

Tim: We killed the story before it reached any further.

Kon: oh. Uh, good.

Tim: 2018. Damian dresses up as Ra’s al Ghul. He gets kidnapped from school by the League of Assassins who thinks he’s finally embraced his heritage. Before we manage to find him, he convinces them that he is -in fact -a de-aged Ra’s. This works, somehow, because he argues that none of them has ever seen Ra’s as a child.

Bart: Really?

Tim: There are definitely parts of Ra’s organisation that would not have done well on ‘Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?’.

Tim: 2012. Bruce dresses up as a figure skater. Mr Freeze attacks the gala he’s at and we spend two weeks burying stories about Bruce Wayne -crime fighter on ice.

Gar: What?!

Tim: 2017. While the papers are taking photos of a blood-soaked Superman, Dick beats up Scarecrow while dressed as the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. Spoiler arrives to provide backup and accidentally punches the wrong scarecrow.

Bart: I-

Tim: 2016! Cass dresses up as Hillary Clinton. Her disguise is so good that the papers try to run a story about Hillary drop-kicking a Donald Trump supporter after Cass stopped a robbery where the guy wore a MAGA-hat.

Cassie: [snorts] Why didn’t you let them run that one?

Tim: 2019! I dress up as Spoiler and find out that Spoiler has been hooking up with some guy on patrol and no I will NOT talk about the way in which I found out thank you.

Gar: Hold it, you can’t just not tell-

Tim: 2013! Dick dresses up as Red Hood. Meanwhile, Jason dresses up as Nightwing. It was not coordinated. Both of their reputations take a massive hit for opposing reasons.

Tim: Also 2013! Damian dresses up as a cat and almost gets adopted by Catwoman.

Tim: 2019! Steph dresses as Batman and spends the night doing TikTok dances in public places. Bruce tried to deport her but you can’t kill a legend and you can’t deport a myth.

Tim: 2020! Bruce plans a seminar so we can all discuss and approve all costumes. Everyone is in favor. Duke is unanimously appointed as our judge since he has never caused any incidents. Bruce is unanimously disqualified from speaking at all because he has caused at least five international incidents. And seven national ones, not counting the time with the nun.

The Titans:

Kon: Did- did he dress up as nun, or…?

Tim: I don’t want to say.

Livestock drama

   “Let’s put pool noodles on the goat’s horns!” says a teenager.

“Why would you,   ” I begin, but they have already stampeded out of the house. I shrug.

   It turns out that when someone puts pool noodles on a goat’s horns, the goat doesn’t really care. They’re very light, after all, and she can’t see them. You know who cares? Who cares a LOT?

   the HORSE. Hero took one look at Nutmeg wearing pool noodles and ran away. You know who doesn’t want to be left alone, ever? Nutmeg. Who went trotting after Hero because he was leaving her.

   Hero, seeing that the eldritch abomination was after him, picked up speed. Nutmeg went into a full run. My kids started chasing Nutmeg to get the pool noodles off her, but could not catch her, because she’s surprisingly fast. The dogs were bringing up the rear, just happy to be going for a pleasant run. Hero was in a panic, leading a parade that he did not want.

   This all resolved. One noodle feel off; the kids eventually cornered Nutmeg and removed the other one. Just - a day at a farm, I guess.
