It's been a good superhero movie year not gonna lie

[medusas-daughter]

Of course they don’t like Milly Alcock’s Supergirl. She’s a grown ass woman with zero love interests who spends the movie saving her dog, casually dismantling a sex trafficking ring while she’s at it, and preaching the importance of being good, not nice or smiley or cheerful but good. I for one adored the movie and I really hope I’ll get to see more of Alcock’s Supergirl she’s now my favorite iteration of her and I love her so dearly.

reading a kpdh fic rn and this author has written Celine as a North Korean fugitive who has to keep her name and place of origin so fricken tightly under wraps all the time to keep her family back north safe and suddenly, EVERYTHING about Celine makes so much more sense no wonder she’s driven by fear no wonder she’s telling Rumi to keep secrets and lie and hide, that’s all she’s ever had to do too

the perfect comedic timing and irony of hearing (too loud to be missed, too loud to be misunderstood) in a packed theater:

“My parents were devout Mormons.”

and my theater erupting into laughter (too loud to be insincere, too loud to be polite) as we were all native Utahns and/or Mormons and/or Exmormons and that was a shot too close to home

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

Can you imagine being stuck in space completely alone with only the corpses of your friends for company, and the first living thing you meet after 46 years of that misery is a fucking weird alien creature who just rolls up with crazy advanced tech and goes "hi let's work together" and makes it possible for you to save your world through the power of friendship and molecular biology. AND THEN you find out that in this creature's language, its name means "mercy". Happened to my good friend Rocky btw

as much as i love it when shitty fictional parents get their dues, i am a hard core sucker for aus where the kids of those parents get to grow up with them raising them right, being good, being present, trying and failing and trying again all the same

Why do mummies always get the 12 Plagues of Egypt as powers?

If I was a reanimated Pharoah I would not be pulling from the Exodus story.

I'm sorry WHAT

[smallerontheoutside]

'lazy people don't feel guilty about not doing anything' is insane to me and I have been trying to make my brain believe it for a long time, it shocked me to my core when I first heard it

[astropithecus]

An important corollary to "if you were faking your mental illness, you could stop whenever you wanted."

Breaking: TikTok is better bc it’s more hostile towards humanity

[deathbyotpin123]

The lack of video content is what kept us here... I thought we all agree that the best feature of this hellhole was and always will be anonymity.

Tumblr's not asking for my phone number. It's not going through my contacts to try and connect me with my fucking colleagues. I can come here and talk about whatever I want without anyone ever seeing my face or hearing my voice. I don't have to censor myself and hide my interests or enthusiasm out of fear of consequences it might have in my real life.

[charlesoberonn]

I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it's a blogging platform with social features.

[grifalinas]

I like the use of Metroman here because if there's one thing Tumblr users collectively agree on it's that we want everyone to think we're dead

You can only reblog this today.
