Why are Breyer's Christmas horses so... okay. And yes, I refuse to call them holiday horses when the only holiday they ever celebrate is Christmas. They all just look. Fine.

It's like, "oh wow another mannequin decked out in excessive tinsel and glitter"

The best ones are those with a restrained color scheme, where you can still see the horse underneath the tack

Sick list of symptoms bro. Now try humanizing your behavior instead of pathologizing it.

[sandersstudies]

Pathologizing: Hey sorry I yelled at you. I have this ADHD symptom called RSD that makes me really sensitive.

Humanizing: Hey, I’m sorry that I blew up like that earlier. In the moment I felt really attacked and overwhelmed and I reacted badly, but I know you didn’t mean to offend me with what you said, so that behavior is on me.

Because I just saw a post bitching about this one, I want to add: this post is saying that you need to take accountability for the way you hurt other people, even if it happens because of a symptom of your disability/illness. It's also saying that using terms (especially acronyms) that aren't common knowledge isn't a helpful way to explain yourself. It is NOT saying that you need to let people walk all over you because "your disability isn't an excuse."

If you're diabetic, you don't have to eat the honey glazed ham that will send you into a coma (their example). But you also can't yell at the person offering it and accuse them of trying to kill you. You can just say "thanks, but my body can't handle that kind of sugar intake, so I'll pass"

It's still kinda wild how Phineas and Ferb managed to completely hijack an idiom. Now whenever someone hears a sentence leading with "If I had a nickel for everytime [...]", odds are their brain auto fills with "I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice," rather than "I'd be rich," or "I could [action that requires purchasing something requiring an obscene amount of money]". Y'know, what the idiom originally was

[cheezitthefuzz]

the thing is, the phineas and ferb version is just so much funnier and more actually applicable

original idiom is "anything that happens a lot"

p&f version is "weirdly specific thing that happens more times than would really make sense"

[echobaseac]

Being a Red VS Blue fan with a crappy memory really turns some of these gems into hilarious confusion. Like, I have zero context for what’s going on here but I can take an educated guess based on my knowledge of RVB. In the end though my guess is just as likely to be wrong as it could be spot on given just how freakin random this show can be.

My guess you ask?: Washington made a bet that Carolina wouldn’t say/wouldn’t be willing to say a thing about her past and the screaming is because Washington lost some really big, dumb, probably set up by Tucker, bet.

[january-summers]

I love that this guess makes perfect sense and is a thing that could 100% happen at some point in the show, but also is completely wrong because the real context is so balls-to-the-wall unhinged that no-one without the context, could ever guess the actual context of what's happening right now.

The context for the curious, because I know there are folks out their who think their show is weird, but isn't:

*long deep breath in, in preparation*

Due to a brief interaction with a time machine in a previous season, one of the characters, Donut, became temporally unstable and was scooped up by an ancient and immortal being imprisoned for all of time who is pretending to be God in order to convince Donut that they needed to be freed, and thanks to shenanigans involving time portal guns, the main characters saved their friend, Agent Washington, from a bullet to the neck (that left him with brain damage from oxygen deprivation) causing time to split into a paradox giving the immortal being's minion a chance to go ham and start shattering the time stream in order to break the eternal prison, but because Donut has become space/time!jesus he is immune to the paradox and is able to travel into the paradox and find Washington and restore his normal timeline memories but then they realise they're going to need the help of the rest of the main characters, The Reds and Blues and Carolina, in order to set things right, because "reasons" they decide the best time to give everyone back their memories is during the Blood Gulch era (early series), which means the only person not together is Carolina, because she was off being presumed dead and Wash needs to find out where she was during that time so he can go get her and bring her to the rest of the group and he reasons the best way to find that out is to travel back to the Freelancer era (preseries), and ask her there, only they weren't that close and after a long montage of being viciously rejected every time he tries to ask Carolina where she might go if she had to ditch the project and fake her death, Wash breaks down and confesses everything to his friends, the Triplets, because he's at his wits end and if he doesn't get this info the universe is doomed, and then one of the Triplets, Iowa I believe, asks why Wash didn't just go to a point in time when he and Carolina were already friends in order to ask her when she'd be more likely to answer the question, which makes Wash die inside that he'd missed the obvious solution for so long before he heads back to the future where we have ^ this ^ scene ^.

*collapses to the ground panting for breath*

tell me that *gasp* doesn't at least *gasp* rank even with *gasp* a "how homestuck sounds to an outsider" post *dies*

... no, you're right, this is somehow still more coherent.

Can you please elaborate on the Stephen Colbert RPF thing. This is a judgment free zone I’m just deathly curious

Ah yes well you see Stephen Colbert used to play a parody of a Fox News pundit on a show called The Colbert Report (American news satire program popular in the late 00s/early 10s). The character was explicitly a closeted gay man who was driven to conservatism due to his own insecurity/internalized homophobia. He had a homoerotic relationship with Jon Stewart whom he pretended to hate but had several romantic moments with.

When their shows ended they wrote a soft epilogue for their fictionalized selves where they retire to a cabin in the woods together and it’s implied they’re married now. The most beautiful self-written rpf of all time.

It was a beautiful slow burn self-written rpf that unfolded over, like, 10 years they worked together? It started as a joke but ended up being a genuine canon part of the fictionalized Stephen Colbert? I’m not joking.

[thealogie]

We’ve literally lost such a fundamental part of our culture the day someone comes into my ask to be like “what would Stephen Colbert rpf even conceivably be about?”

[cbrownjc]

For those who are curious, here is John Oliver talking about the RPF slash fanfic that was written about Stephen and Jon (and himself) during that time:
