that post reminds me of the time I saw someone describe gale as having an "academic physique", which is quite possibly the single most hilarious dance-around to saying "fat" I've ever seen

like damn, I hope people see me walking down the street and think, that dude's brainy as fuck

Anyone else relate to how painful it is to have to go out into the public when you are stuck on a sleep-deprived rambling/oversharing spree and can't manage to mask either the autism or schizospec?

Emotional dysregulation is REAL, y'all

Idk if you’ve assigned a role for Andy in this vague college AU but if she isn’t the megan rapinoe of this fake, now co-ed intramural soccer team than I’m sorry I’m gonna have to riot. Bonus points if Quyhn is Joe’s WGSS major friend who met Andy when she helped file a Title IX complaint about the school when they wouldn’t let women join the team originally.

okay i HAVEN’T but i WHOLLY approve this addition as well as the addition of quỳnh to team humanities. andy and nicky hit it off right away because they’re complementary flavors of intense. and when quỳnh makes the connection that her current hookup (gender parity in federally funded public institutions is a very sexy thing to bond over, it turns out) is really good friends with the guy that’s caught joe’s eye, WELL, the rest is history

Funny the way it is.

i used to think i knew exactly what i wanted in life, where I wanted to live, go to school, work, what I wanted to drive, and the people I wanted to be around. What life gave me, is nothing like what I expected, nothing at all, and I can't complain.

Beautiful Eyes

It's not the color, it's the expression, the emotion displayed by these intricacies that make up the visage, a message not passed in words, had I not heard you speak i would still have understood. I learned a language in your eyes.

I sometimes find myself falling in love with words.

Not full-on phrases per se, but words that stand alone with conviction.

Perhaps it is the way the letters flow, or the curvature of each individual letter, or the calligraphic strokes in which it is written

Or maybe I fall in love with the way the tongue moves when said. Such artistic movement, the result of evolutionary adaptations allowing an abundance of bodily functions to conspire at such a speed that is seemingly unnoticeable.

Whatever reason it may be, I will always love my words.

Self-interested and self-centered individuals create a rippling effect of influence. The people that they hurt eventually realize there's no benefit in being selfless. Eventually they adopt and embrace this attitude as their own, amplifying the effect from ripple to wave....and the virtue of goodness dissolves in the chaos, forgotten for vices more "rewarding."
