here is a super helpful website for this kinda thing!

the first result isn’t always the one you’re looking for but when you press enter it’ll give you a ton of words related to your query that’ll probably have what you’re wanting, or something better

here’s some examples:

So, I moved recently. And my new neighborhood is full of kids. I met about 20 of them the day I moved in because they helped me chase down my dog when he got loose and I can already tell you, me and these kids are gonna be besties. They come over to play with my dogs at least once a day. A few little convos we’ve had so far:

(On the day we met)

6yo: My name Kendrick but you can call me KJ cause my friends call me KJ and you my friend now.

~

KJ: I’ll walk your dogs for 5$!

Me: Imma think about it, okay?

KJ: Ok ok, 3$!! But that’s the lowest imma go. What a deal right?!?!

~

9yo: You know my Mama’s got a boyfriend.

Me: That’s nice!

9yo: My grandmama don’t like him cause he ain’t got a job.

Me: Oh.

9yo: Do you got a job?

Me: Yeah.

9yo: *screaming across the yard* GRANDMAMA!! THIS GIRL GOT A JOB!

(I might be her new stepmom, y’all. Idk)

~

12 yo: You ain’t got a man?

Me: Nope.

12 yo: You got a woman?

Me: Nope.

12 yo: It’s just you and these dogs?

Me: Yep.

12 yo: Girllllll! You living the life!

~

9yo: *banging on my back door* HEY!! Open the door!!

Me: *opening the door, freaking out* OMG! WHATS WRONG!

9yo: Nothing. You got a popsicle?

Me: Ummmm...no.

9yo: You want one?

Me:???

9yo: *pulls a popsicle from behind her back* I think you need this.

Me: Thank you.

9yo: Alright. Imma see you tomorrow. Bye!!

Me:...okay

I really respect the six-year-old hustler. He’s going places.

The play I'm in right now is set 300 years in the future (in the eighties) on a spaceship and the director decided that gendered terms like "bro" and "dude" are obsolete, so we've replaced them all with "zorbo." Which is all well and good except that I've had a hard time scrubbing it from my vocabulary outside of rehearsals and I keep accidentally addressing people with "yo, zorbo" and now I feel like I should just lean into it and hope it catches on.

[theglowstickchronicles]

I’m sorry but “300 years in the future (in the eighties)” what the fuck does that sentence mean???

[glumshoe]

it’s the future but in a 1983 sort of way

[draconym]

I said what I meant

[helaena-targaryens]

Mistakes were made

+ bonus reaction:

[alexanderrm]

“Please save me! I’ll do anything for you!” “Then perish.” “Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.” “Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?” “…Then I shall face God, and walk backwards into hell.” “…I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.” 

-All of these are from shitposts, regrettably not from literary classics.

[angstriddentrashhuman]

Shakespeare’s ghost is simultaneously thrilled that these happened and irate that he didn’t create them

[drneverland]

okay but “Hell is empty and all the devils are here” is from The Tempest. So Shakespeare *did* create that one.

[shinysmashkeys]

I’m so glad you said it. 

I have an option to swap in though (I”m pretty sure it’s from a shit post only):  “the weight of my sins drags me closer to hell but I sit in a throne higher than God's” source

i’m gonna be honest

antis are actually hurting more than helping. their main goal is to stop “pedophilia,” when they’re actually starting to normalize the word.

for instance, i came across an actual pedophile callout post, and i hesitated to block and report the said pedophile. i hesitated because i didn’t know if it was a callout post directed at a real pedophile, or simply a callout post directed at someone who ships something that the op of the callout post didn’t like.

i’ve come across many csa survivors who have said that they don’t like antis comparing their abuse to a ship. i’ve come across many csa survivors who ship these so-called pedophillic ships, and antis have actually had the audacity to say that those csa survivor’s abuse was false.

it’s disgusting.

antis, don’t interact. i don’t want your bullshit on my blog.

[justmeandmythoughtson]

In addition, there’s this concept that ‘safe adults’ are the ones that ship the ‘correct’ ships, and not the people who repeatedly tell everyone that A) they make NSFW, or B) Don’t want to talk to minors.

I’m a LOT more wary of someone who actively WANTS kids to talk to them than someone who flat out says “I don’t want you here, here are five warning signs to stay away.”

I mean, you don’t groom people by telling them to go away and warning them that you make content unsuitable for them to see. You groom them by making yourself seem like the good, safe person to talk to - using whatever necessary. And at this point I’m terrified that being an anti in itself will be a talking point for people trying to groom children, to make themselves seem ‘safe’.

[shiggy-stan]

Whoop there it is.

[ruffboi-mags]

Like, granted, that doesn’t mean that an adult that DOES talk to kids who approach them and DOESN’T say “if you’re under 18 stay away” is bad. The idea frankly is that kids should interact with ALL KINDS OF ADULTS so they can better recognize when an adult is acting inappropriately. If I’ve got followers who are minors, okay. I’m clearly an adult based on my profile, so I’ll let them decide if they want to follow me. And if they want to ask my opinion on things or say hi or talk about a shared interest, that’s cool too! I had so many great friendships and interactions with fandom adults when I was a teen, and they were a super important influence in my life. But I’m pointedly not *seeking out* teens to talk to. And that’s one of the big differences, I think, between someone who’s suspect and people who are just existing.

Tag your shit, but don’t be afraid to be an adult teens can talk to if that’s something you’re ok with, just bc some people are shitty.
