Jack of all pronouns, master of none. Figuring shit out, hopefully.

In light of recent events I want only gay men to be my nurses from now on

Why does packing a lunch feel so vulnerable. Like yes here is my lunch in my hand I will carry it with me until it is time to eat it

i wish i could say “?????????” in real life it would be very useful

[shadowsjoys]

The bad news is you can’t. The good news is that it’s actually an expression you can make.

I can make Tangled (2011) about being queer if I want to.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I am not immune to the cutting of hair being a symbolic representation of both freedom of the new life and death of the old life.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Whoops it was 2010

[what-even-is-thiss]

Somebody asked for elaboration so

Immediately discovering that the way that other people live isn’t as dangerous as an abusive parent says it is

The male lead spends a lot of his time and energy pretending to be something he’s not to try to find a niche in life but really becomes happy only after dropping his macho lady killer facade

The first place Rapunzel finds help and gentleness in the outside world is in a bar full of people that are viewed as dangerous by society, including disabled people, conventionally unattractive people, and people who dress in odd costumes

The cutting of Rapunzel’s hair both literally and metaphorically kills her controlling parental figure. Sometimes to truly be free and be yourself you need to fully cut a controlling parent out of your life and it can feel like a death of sorts.

As a closeted blonde transmasc child who was constantly discouraged from cutting my hair for the benefit of others who liked looking at it I was of course totally normal about the hair cutting scene when I saw that in theatres

Yeah to me among other things it definitely is about my queerness. She was forced to be this sweet harmless girl who just trusted mother gothel and even though she was actually super sick of it she held onto the hope that that was going to make her happy. Then she goes out and experiences the joy of the world and freedom and is able to learn her own personality instead of the one she was supposed to have.

It is actually crazy that we have a time system that’s 1-12, 1-12 but the 12 is actually the start of the new cycle so it’s 12, 1-11, 12, 1-11

I want to buy expensive mint condition Pokémon cards and play with them like normal and like stuff them in my bag with my other ones just to horrify people

[squidsmut]

My dream is to buy a booster pack for MSRP (5 dollars and no more!!!) and pull an insano rare card from it and use it in a deck.

I was at a perfect order prerelease build and battle event and a guy pulled the gold Zygarde and DIDNT play with it that night. Actually would never be me I’d be using that shit if I got it.

[truestoriesaboutme]

I can't quite explain it, but Clue (1985), The Princess Bride (1987), Galaxy Quest (1999), and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) are all the same genre

[short-and-angry]

They aren't a spoof (roast) or a love letter (tribute), but a best man's speech; an expression of love with a gentle ribbing on ocassion.

[shadowsjoys]

It’s exactly the kind of adaptation I love the most. Keep the story as is, add your spin in a way that puts your mark on it.

WHY IS THERE A HONEY BEE IN MY BASEMENT???

WHY IS SHE LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT???

[shadowsjoys]

Because you’re so sweet she wants a taste

[tamamoland]

let’s be real the best tumblr has EVER looked was the short span of time where you could slap code into posts and we had classics like these

tumblr has never been closer to the core aesthetic and sense of humor of its userbase

Art School Bad Art Wall:

[shadowsjoys]

How does one do a shameless self promotion

I uh

Wrote a song about this

If you want to see it

My channel name is the same as my url if you see a picture of me sitting in a tree you’re in the right place

[ominous-signs]

A sign I spotted while running errands today. I looked it up when I got home and this billboard is apparently an artpiece by Bretstad. It's called "Sardonical". Their website is https://bretstad.art/sardonicale/ if you want to read more about it.

(Above is what Anon originally submitted, but I also wanted to include other signs from this series below! Images from the website itself)

[shadowsjoys]

I’m having fun imagining the person who put the sign up putting half of it up and going “wait sorry WHAT?” and ultimately deciding hey they didn’t pay for the sign they’re just paid to put it up this is not on them

[i-am-a-fish]

fuck, I just realized that if I spend my life being too intimidated to make art then that means I don't even get to make bad art. I end up making NO art. that's way worse

[shadowsjoys]

Y’all ever give your bad dice to someone and they start rolling crazy on them

[shadowsjoys]

I believe I woke up, posted this, and then fell back asleep

[thingsfittingperfectly]

The way this entire can of coke fits exactly in this coke glass

[humans-areweird]

It’s 1am and i had a solid minute where I stared at this and thought someone had peeled the coke

[shadowsjoys]

I genuinely thought it was jello-fied coke
