hello! i'm RAN :D it's awesome to meet you!

some info:

this was originally a blog for fandom, memes, and stuff i like, but i get into politics and personal stuff a lot 😅.

i also just really love learning new things. ive got some subjects im especially interested in- education, primatology, and geography, for example- but im happy to learn about pretty much anything. if youre passionate about something, i'd love to learn more about it!

my blog is pretty sfw (i think?) but i urge you to use your own discretion, and just, to practice internet safety in general.

also, i use the tags for stream of consciousness thoughts more than anything else, so my blog isn't really organized... if there's anything you need me to tag, let me know!

"'I don't know' isn't an answer" alright man then I'll just. Fuckin. Enter my philosophical mind-palace and check the fuckin akashic records. Real quick lemme just catch and cook and eat the Salmon of All Knowledge. Tell me ur question again so I can real quick climb to the highest branches of the Yggdrasil and lay it at the feet of Freda the all-wise Queen of Heaven. Dickhead.

What if the Truman show did a queerbait arc

What if the Truman show did a queerbait arc but then they found out Truman was gay for real and had to recalibrate and their tv network would have to take a definitive stance on homosexuality, yay or nay in the late 90s and it's not like they can recast Truman. They would have to either plot him into an it's okay to be gay fake happy relationship like they did with his tv wife or try and scare him off homosexuality by doing homophobic gay misery storylines at him to try and keep him firmly in the closet.

A doll youtuber I watch has made a video about the history of Polly Pocket, and she's describing the plots of the dvd specials, one of which features an elderly woman named Ms. Throckmorton, and my reaction was
