did anyone else get a weird thrill as a kid from correctly imitating Normal Kid Things

like I would drink a Coca Cola (hating every sensory moment) and feel excited about participating in a Normal activity. I listened to 20 second samples of Avril Lavigne songs at Barnes and Noble and think, “oh yes, this is what normal American children do, look at me, I’m doing it too”

[glumshoe]

8 year old me: [eats a slice of pizza]

8 year old me: “Wow. I’m doing it. I’m really doing it. I bet I seem just like a Normal Kid. I bet this looks natural, like I do it every day without even thinking about it. If those people see me eating this pizza they will think, ‘Wow, what a regular child! Just like the ones on TV!’”

[glumshoe]

Frankly I still do this, to some extent--back in 2019 I went out with a friend after work and sat there like “Wow, I am in a city, drinking wine at a bistro with a friend from work, having an engaging conversation about our dating lives. This is what Normal Adults do. Look at me, a Normal Adult! Like from TV!”

Its called the Death Waltz, and was written as a joke but people have attempted it on piano.

I was gonna make a joke like “someone find me two pianos and four octopi, I’ve got a concert to plan.”

Then I saw the video and now realise I underestimated the number of octopi I’d need.

[brunhiddensmusings]

when you decide to compose music without having to worry about this pesky ‘limitations of human anatomy’ bullshit you get some impressive pieces

[pennie-dreadful]

I was expecting to get rickrolled but because i was expecting it, the links were legit.

[angsting-the-pain-away]

I’m pretty sure no one is gonna see this but the links above are obviously not the Death Waltz but are actually a song called U.N. Owen Was Her (for those who wanted to know) which is, yes, boss music from the game Touhou Project- a bullet hell shoot em up.

Actually it’s from the sixth installment of the series Touhou: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and is the boss theme for Flandre Scarlet and the fight is hell. The song is composed by the programmer of the game himself who goes by ZUN. His actual name is Jun'ya Ota and has managed to create some of the most iconic and recognizable songs in gaming.

Many, such as U.N. Owen Was Her, are recognizable as memes. I’m guessing that the song being a meme along with it being a brutal song to play on a piano since its not meant to be played on a piano at all (it’s original form is in 16-bit or 32-bit, if I remember correctly) created this weird passable lie for those who-

1) Can’t read sheet music.

2) Aren’t a touhou fan (since the fandom is big but still niche in itself).

3) Don’t know how to play a piano.

I just wanted to get the proper information out there since the actual Death Waltz isn’t supposed to sound like a song?? At all?? That’s the beautiful joke about it?? Its an unpleasant and unplayable song. That’s the joke lol

And yes, people have attempted it.

Regular people: I can’t read their expression with that mask.

Animorphs fans: *He’s smiling with his eyes!!!!* 😭😍😭😍😭😍

[sarifel-corrisafid-ilxhel]

This is an interesting thing because most people don’t know what a smile actually entails. Most animals that are capable of expressing emotions do it with their eyes, ears, and body language. But we get told a smile is something you do with your mouth, which is wrong.

If somebody smiles at you with only their mouth, they are lying through their teeth. Genuine smiles always involve the eyes.

[thejakeformerlyknownasprince]

YESSSS.  Duchenne smiles happen spontaneously due to joy or amusement, and they involve the eye-wrinkly thing like andalites are described as doing.  Non-Duchenne smiles are the kind we do to be polite, to be photographed, to create a smile outside of amusement/joy — it’s not necessarily lying, but usually about trying to smile on command.

There’s also a FASCINATING cultural discrepancy wherein people from more individualistic cultures (U.S., Australia, Germany, South Africa, etc.) look more at the mouth to detect smiles, whereas people from more collectivistic cultures (Japan, Venezuela, Kenya, India, etc.) look more at the eyes.  So the idea of “smile is something you do with your mouth” is way more common in the U.S. than, say, South Korea.

[griffinguy24]

That’s why the U.S. emoticon for a smiley is this...

Everyone in Peter’s class gets super hyped when they see Spider-Man on the news the day before an exam because that teacher will just coincidentally forget every copy of the test at home, what a shame, guess you all have one more night to study oh well,,,,,, if any of you were doing important things yesterday it’s real lucky you get this extra time to prepare,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[winteriron-trash]

No no no, imagine this, but on an angstier level.

Post-IW, Peter has awful PTSD because duh. The wrong thing being brought up can trigger flashbacks and memories and he hates it.

Peter’s classmates all saw Spider-Man disappear with Iron Man onto the big spaceship donut and didn’t come back until after everyone was brought back from dust. They don’t know what happened to him and they’re sure they probably don’t want to know. So they take extra care to try and not accidentally trigger anything for him.

Someone mentions Footloose and Peter nearly loses it on the spot? The entire class makes the collective decision to never bring it up again, who cared about the movie anyways.

A list in the Discord serve is complied of every possible trigger for Peter. Anything from words that make him jumpy, to topics that make him need to run to the bathroom and have a panic attack. It’s extensive and constantly updated, but it’s worth it. If Spider-Man is going to protect New York, the least they can do is try to protect Spider-Man.

List of wild things in this video:

- The guy whose computer screen you can see at the start is looking up “what to do if a dog has rabies”

- The unbroken wall of hydroflasks in front of the teacher’s podium

- Good Mythical Morning poster

- Inexplicable “NO TALKING DURING RAZOR LOVE” sign

- The guy next to the videographer just has the letters “WBOEOADRS” in giant font on his computer screen

- The teacher knowing to pause for booing after he mentione Ashe County Middle School

- The kid that yells “I hate them!” enthusiastically

- A sign that says “NO FREAKING” with a picture of two stick figures having sex

- Hand-painted “educasion is overated” poster

- The fact that the class knows to say “standing by” when he tells them to stand by

- The woman literally waiting outside the door to hand over the dog

- The tenderness with which he handles the dog before he announces its imminent demise

- “DO YOUR BUCKING VOCAB”

#this is. HANDS DOWN. the funniest post i’ve ever seen

[valtsv]

anyone else remember being like 13 years old and watching that scene in how to train your dragon (2010) where hiccup carefully navigates the maze of lines toothless has drawn between them without breaking or stepping on any of them and with his back to toothless and eyes shut to demonstrate how he’s willing to put total faith in him not to harm him or run away and to show humility and a desire to establish a natural bond of mutual trust instead of the arrogance to try to force toothless to submit to his will and hearing the music crescendo and fade into silence as he finally crosses the last obstacle so that they’re standing mere inches from one another, tension built on years of bad blood between their two races, so immense it’s almost like a physical barrier, separating them, and after what feels like forever toothless presses his nose gently into hiccup’s outstretched palm and it fits perfectly like it was made solely for that specific purpose, and feeling all the hairs on your neck stand up and a stifling sensation that brought actual tears to your eyes rise in your throat as it touched something profound and full of unspeakable yearning inside you
