the thing about ningxian during the burial mounds era is that to wei wuxian their relationship is a nice friends-with-benefits/something in-between type deal, but to wen ning they’ve been living in a monsterfucking tragedy

[qilingxiong]

thinking about this again because I was mentally debating whether or not wei wuxian would consider himself a monsterfucker, specifically with regards to being with wen ning. I would say his answer is ‘no, of course not, wen ning isn’t a monster he’s a person and my friend why would you think of him like that’, but meanwhile wen ning himself is standing off to the side in a little corner of self-loathing nodding and going ‘yeah he’s a monsterfucker’

3 am thinking about how windows over kitchen sinks are traditionally women's spaces & always domestic spaces, & so those of us who occupy those spaces usually fill them with little things that bring us joy. Just for us, not for spouses or kids or for what company-guests will think. if you're in the kitchen to the degree of paying attention to the sink details, you are usually ok to know what the domestic laborers of the home enjoy.

thinking about my grandmother's birdfeeders and stained glass suncatcher. my mother's cobalt glass vase & bits of colorful glazed pottery & carved wood, beautiful organic vessels & cute whimsical creatures. one friend's plants. another's prisms. lace curtains. novelty figurines. seashells. pieces of our joy, warmed in the sunlight, witnessed by us at our mundane tasks, witness to our daily lives.

yesterday my grandma found a penny on the floor and said to my grandpa “there’s that penny again, pa!” and i absolutely lost my mind because i couldn’t shelve the thought of a single panel Far Side comic of two old people on the front porch in the middle of nowhere and a giant penny angrily and inexplicably rolling through the wastes

“there’s that penny again, pa!”

[morgannalefey]

I sincerely hope that the OP realizes that gramma was very likely quoting that cartoon.

[cheaphalloweencostume]

#google translate does not capture the tone switch so i have to say. first two sentences are like. normal maybe kind of feminine posting tone #& the last is like. shounen manga protagonist. action movie hero. jojo's bizarre adventure character. #the tone you would use if you were holding a gun with the safety off (– @chadlesbianjasontodd)

[minothtime]

Basically, a translation could be:

I just think it's so interesting that people end up falling in love with their friends' boyfriends! I absolutely despise every single one of them. give me my fucking homie back you goddamn bastard

In 1962, the New York City Transit Authority introduced Etti-Cat to scold and cajole commuters into more courteous behavior. Posters featuring the superbly polite feline’s admonitions were placed in almost 3,000 NYC subway cars.

writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.

one of the funnier incidents of me assuming someone knew a meme irl was when a new coworker was talking about some woman who got arrested for tax fraud and I went "God forbid women do anything" and he got scared and thought I was accusing him of being sexist, so he started apologizing and saying how tax fraud isn't even bad, actually.
