My neighbour has clearly woken up at 4am to find her husband watching porn... this is word for word the conversation I just overheard.

“STOP WATCHING PORN ON MY WRITING COMPUTER!”

“STOP WRITING ON MY PORN COMPUTER!”

“YOU’RE A MARRIED MAN YOU SHOULDN’T NEED A PORN COMPUTER!”

“YOU WRITE LIKE A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD YOU SHOULDN’T NEED A WRITING COMPUTER!”

[captainofthenx02]

UPDATE. SHE THREW THE LAPTOP OUT OF THE WINDOW AND WALKED OFF. HE STOOD THERE LOOKING FORLORN AND THEN CLEARLY REALISED I WAS LOOKING, WAVED AND SHOUTED “NEVER GET A WIFE, LESBIAN NEIGHBOUR.”

I am impressed about two things. 1) I am lesbian neighbour and 2) he knew I was awake.

[captainofthenx02]

I’m a little concerned/amused by the amount of notes this post has gotten.

[captainofthenx02]

I was just thinking about porn guy and remembered this story. I’m amused again by this. I need to take him a cake on the 1st anniversary of this conversation.

Apparently “spite” is not an ‘appropriate answer’ to “What motivates you?”

[comic-canary]

Ok, so the tattoo artist I have been going to for all of my tats seriously does everything in his life out of spite. He became a tattoo artist because he was told it was stupid, he got married because his friends told him not to, he bought a house with a picket fence because he was told he wasn’t the kind of guy that would do that, and he had a kid because he was told he would be a crap father. He has a nice wife, an adorable little girl, a good house, and is an award winning tattoo artist.

Live your life in spite

re: last reblog this has made me aware of the continued existence of a whole snape stan subculture who do in fact seem to all regularly use the term snater to denote their hated enemies. i knew there was still a marauders fandom who consider themselves not transphobic because they've convinced themselves their whole deal is separate from the rest of the books and doesn't count or something but somehow it never occurred to me that would mean their opposite numbers also still exist. i guess i kind of assumed they must have disbanded in embarrassment after snapewives became a well known thing

the funniest thing i have discovered after a search of the tag is SEVERAL snape stans making fun of some snater on tiktok for listening to the hamilton soundtrack. yeah hamilton is the most cringe fandom involved here. this is going to sustain me all day

[asneakyfox]

"snape haters, or snaters," this is so beautiful. what a gift. there are so many kinds of people in the world

[asneakyfox]

whenever you look at some sort of incredibly dumb wank in your fandom and think "surely those guys will give up and move on eventually" remember that not only are there still open harry potter fans in 2025 but some of them are still willing to go to the mat fighting for the honor of a character now largely remembered for (1) bullying actual children over whom he had authority (2) The Bravest Men I Ever Knew (3) having real life people try to marry him on the astral plane

How do you think the characters/series might be different if someone other than Cassie was an estreen?

My thoughts:

JAKE: Would get in touch with his more artistic side in his rare moment of downtime

RACHEL: Would always morph a bear arm first and foremost so that she couldn't immediately start punching enemies

MARCO: Would morph in such a way that always managed to "mysteriously" end up closer to Rachel (for ex when shrinking to a cockroach with Rachel on his left, most changes would happen in ways that made him lean/fall left, no one knows why, such a weird thing)

AX: Would unfortunately have one more "proof" in the superiority of Andalites over humans.

TOBIAS: Interesting question: is estreen-ness tied to mental focus or genetic luck? Would he still be an estreen once trapped in hawk form? Regardless, I do think it would have taken him a little longer to get trapped, because he his go-to when he got stressed would be to more hawk wings on his human form for a couple minutes and it would help calm him down, and he might feel less trapped overall.

What do you think?

I love all of these. And now I'm fascinated by the idea that Tobias just doesn't try that hard at morphing, and most of his apparent delay behind the others is just down to lack of motivation. Because it certainly fits.

He accidentally-on-purpose traps himself in morph. He hates seeing his friends go into danger and being unable to help, of course, but other than that he rarely morphs. He seems to have less interest in morphing for fun than the others — he does maybe three? quirky side quests (commercial crashing in #3, mouse infiltration in MM1, parrot sabotage in #15) and for all of those he's out of morph rather than acquiring new stuff for hijinks. So I love the idea that morphing skill is driven by motivation, with Cassie having the highest for clear character reasons and Tobias or Marco having the lowest overall.

Also, as far as the idea is, I think that there’s heavy implication that being an estreen is not a function of luck or some in a skill, but rather something that comes from having deeply internalized knowledge of biology (and possibly the ability to visualize it well). The two estreens in the series, Cassie and Estrid, have significant in-depth knowledge of biology in a way that few of the other characters do.

[thejakeformerlyknownasprince]

That's fascinating as well, because it suggests that anyone is capable of training their way into being an estreen. Which is a read that I really like.

[punkrorschach]

the legally blonde mentality isnt just for law students. u can bring that attitude with you into every field of work. be the whimsical force of positive change. wear that neon outfit. snaps for us all.

[punkrorschach]

this post was inspired by my boss telling me she couldnt "take me seriously" in a pair of dinosaur print overalls. sorry i have two degrees and a dope wardrobe. you dont need to take me seriously but You Will Take Me.

[black-quadrant]

OP's an inspiration. bring on the whimsy movement!

Knowing that Eridians have much longer lifespans, and also he can't be at every school on the planet at once, Ryland Grace decides to record a bunch of entertaining science lessons with Rocky's help.

Hundreds of years later, Eridian kids still get excited when the substitute teacher rolls in the 3D shape projector, because they know they're in for an episode of Friend Grace the Science Ace.

Fucking yikes do I read these books or not

[changelingchilde9]

Read them, they're great. As long as you don't mind child soldiers and infinite trauma anyway.

[thejakeformerlyknownasprince]

Besides, the genocide is like 80% offscreen. So it's fine.

this was my favorite x-men: first class deleted scene

i dont know who told james mcavoy and michael fassbender to make their characters fuck raw with their eyes in every x men scene but we owe them everything

stratt and grace and the rest of the phm science team running on 4 cumulative hours of sleep at an unscheduled conference. dimitri and lokken are trying to explain a new complication in the hail mary's fueling system and the resources necessary to iron it out but they keep getting interrupted by government officials butting in until grace (who doesn't even look up from his laptop and checked out of the conversation two days ago) snaps "we raise our hands to speak"

complete silence for like 3 seconds. the french prime minister sheepishly raises his hand and stratt smiles for the first time that week (grace buries his entire head behind his laptop screen for wont of a better option, like jumping straight into the sea)

dont store a knife with the point facing down, it damages the blade. no, dont do that either. when you store it with the point facing up you might accidentally hurt yourself when you try to grab it. dont store a knife at all actually. your blade must never leave your hand, always ready, ruthless and waiting. you know deep down that ever since you learned the stench of blood you will never be able to cast it aside. or just get a sheath for it i guess.

[homochadensistm]

So you are saying the entire Jewish culture was made up like 20 years ago?

Like 4 years ago

[mossadspydolphin]

No we stole it from the Palestinians

[homochadensistm]

queen why are you so confident that the deal is gonna fall apart this week, it seems like trump will genuinely suck all of their dicks just to get it 😭

Hezbollah can never keep it in its pants and once it crosses a certain line israel will once again bomb Beirut, and then Iran will have to put its nonexistent money where its mouth is and were back to sq 1

[mossadspydolphin]

So no second FIFA Peace Prize is what you're saying

the "rip ___ you would have loved ___" meme is inherently more fun with ancient characters. rip clytemnestra you would have loved morse code. rip theseus you would have loved the airtag. rip callisto you would have loved wearing shorts.
