The Liquor Witch Big boots, bad attitude

a collection of seemingly unintentionally profound shitposts that fill me with an intense existential awareness

the kids are alright.

[smartassjen]

This is kinda perfect.

if anyone ever tries to tell u that racism/sexism/ableism/etc. are “natural” just show them this video

[realityrainfall]

Those two that just could not come up with any differences! They were like “we both got glasses, both got these red sweaters, maybe we’re different heigh- nope we’re the same height… well shit we’re perfectly the same!”

[riotlion]

Those kids were perfect

[rae-redacted]

Whenever I see this video I’m always struck that the kids are so quick to say what their friends are GOOD AT or what their friends enjoy. They’re so quick to build each other up!

I love this ad so much.  I watch it several times every time it comes over my dash.

“I used to not like lettuce but now I like lettuce.”  That’s ALWAYS the cutest thing I’ve heard in like a month.

What’s also really interesting to me is listening to the kids’ VERY adult thinking noises.

[thewholesomebean]

This is adorable

[screechingnightchild]

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“No.”

[fantasticfables]

Another thing to note is that they were not shy in letting anyone know what things they were good at, and that’s wonderful.

siamangs are so freaking weird. Somehow evolution produced a frog-ape.

‘A Day Beautifully Squandered’

[andhumanslovedstories]

I’m a simple reader, I like it when the pov switches back and forth between one character thinking “I am so ugly…..too rugged and broad shouldered and good at chopping logs to ever be attractive to this beautiful ethereal person…..even now they stare at me in disgust” and the other character who is thinking “NUT but I must control my passion…..they know how lecherous I regard them and pity me for my hopeless lust NUT NUT NUT”

[andhumanslovedstories]

Character A who suffers from horrible self image within a narration that has described them only in the hottest of ways: I see the way you look at me. I know what you think of me.

Character B who is Ashamedly Horny: I’m sorry… I hoped I wasn’t so obvious. I will leave if that is what you want.

Character C who is me reading this miscommunication that IS gonna end in praise heavy fuckin: ohohohohohoHOHOHO!!

Asking About You by Eloise Klein Healy

[”Instead of having sex all the time I like to hold you and not get into some involved discussion of what life means. I want you to tell me something I don’t know about you. Something about the day before that photograph in which you’re standing on your head. I want to know about softball and the team picture. Why are you so little next to the others? Were you younger? Were you small as a girl? What I want most is to have been a girl with you and played on the opposite team so I could have liked you and competed against you at the same time.”]

what if i was the cowgirl and i came up to you at a bar and i said well aint you the prettiest thing i ever damn seen and then you blushed except you still havent come to terms with your sexuality so you were too scared to flirt back and i respect your boundaries and i also am intuitive type on the mbti test so i sense that you feel uncomfortable so i dont push any flirting and then as you are leaving (we formed a tentative friendship in this time) some dude comes and tries to flirt with you and its making you uncomfortable so i go up to him and say listen here partner why dont you amble off right about now and hes like get out the way shortie ans then i roll up my sleeves and he sees my cow wrangling muscles and instantly flushes and says sorry maam and walks away fast paced and i watch him to make sure he leaves and then look back at you and notice youre looking and me with a blush and then when you see me catch you staring you flush harder and look at the ground then i reach out and cup your cheek and say dont be shy darlin and then i write my number on your arm and say dont be a stranger now and you blush and get into your uber and go home to bed but you cant sleep you lie awake thinking of me and you dream of us kissing and then you text me a week later and we talk over text for a while and you start to realize you undeniably have feelings for me but youre scared because youve never had feelings for a girl before and you feel insecure that youre faking it or something but im understanding and i tell you you have as much time as you need and ill support and care about you no matter what and theres no rush for you to make any decision and a month after our first meeting i ask you out on a date to a fancy restaurant and you show up in a pretty dress and it takes my breath away and i cant stop staring at you the whole meal and thinking how beautiful you are and i pay for our meals and the tip and then we walk hand in hand i walk you back to your house and i say im real sweet on you you know and you blush and stare and me and i hold ur gaze and we look at eachother a little unsure but then you surge forward and kiss me and we just stand there holding eachother and kissing and then im like well i got to be going or ill miss the last train and we both laugh embarassed and then i kiss you one more time quickly and walk jauntily away cheerfully whistling a cowboy tune and you go inside and you cant stop smiling

Me and the other prehistoric caveboys following a mammoth for three days straight without stopping, knowing that big furry bitch’s endurance is running thin

[galarianslowking]

me and the other prehistoric caveboys when the landbridge we followed the mammoth on is gone and that big furry bitch stranded us on another continent

[missivesfromghosts-deactivated2]

Look at this incredible art of one of my fave rarepairs, by the incredibly talented @schnetzle ! Thank you for this gorgeous, sweet little kiss. 

I always imagined that if given the chance, Krem and Fenris, my two favorite survivors of the horrors of Tevinter, would get along like houses on fire. And who’s to say there might not be some kissing involved.

Shout out to my friend @theinternationalacestation for giving me the topic and helping me put this list together. She’s the best, and you can read her fic under the name yellow_caballero on AO3. 

Of the above, the flash fiction, short stories, and one of the novellas are all available free and legally online. And they’re just the tip of the iceberg! There’s so much great short science fiction and fantasy short fiction out there. If you enjoy these stories and want to read more, take a look at some of the magazines’ other stories. Special shout out to Uncanny Magazine’s recent Disabled People Destroy Fantasy issue. Also, RIP to Apex Magazine, I miss you a ton. 

Most of the short stories didn’t have illustrations, so I made do with clip art and stock photos of varying degree of relevance. 

Below the cut, I’m linking to the short stories in question. For the books, I’m linking to the Goodreads pages. I hope you guys find some stories you love! 

Keep reading
