Hey, I’m Theresa. 27. Plants, conversation, righteous indignation, and Hozier's music basically make up my whole personality. The name of the blog is a song by Cage the Elephant. It's a great song. Oh, and you can use she/her pronouns for me, although they/them is fine too

yo…. when jet breaks in the tea shop and accuses zuko and iroh of beinh firebenders….

do you think any of the patrons looked at zukos scarred face - obviously done by a firebender - and immediately think jet was an asshole? like

jet: hes a firebender!!!!

patrons, thinking about the backstory they concocted for zuko and iroh where their home was invaded by firebenders and they barely survived with their lifes so they could come and have a peaceful life selling tea in a city the war doesnt touch:

Jet: He’s a firebender!

The Patrons to the Tea Shop internally: You fucking stupid, sir? I think you might be stupid.

Found myself wanting to say that "consuming text is easy and passive, unlike video which requires active effort to watch" and then realized this is the opposite of what basically every other human being would say.

I don't know if this matches your experience, but one of the salient differences for me is that I can control the rate at which I read text. which is of course, a property of it being more "active," but it's a kind of "activeness" that feels less...stressful? energy intensive? like I'm not actually going to miss anything if I space out for a bit (because the text won't like, keep going without me)

I remember reading a famous feminist blogger in the 00's declare confidently that "everyone" finds it easier to watch TV than read, and I was like... noooo, that is not true.

Auditory processing disorder has been helped by frequent subtitles, but not everything has them. So many actors and actresses look like every other, when you have propagnosia (face blindness.)

In a TV show, I am shown exactly what the characters and scenery look like, but I have to guess what people are thinking and feeling, and it's hard for me to tell people apart. In a book, I have to imagine the characters and scenery, but I am told what people are thinking and feeling (or at least what the main character is), and characters are described with names, which are usually easier for me to tell apart than faces. And on TV, if there are no subtitles to read, it's hard for me to understand, whereas I have no trouble understanding a book.

So yeah, for me, a book is veg out and relax, a TV show or movie is challenging and requires effort.

really fond of humans just from an appearance standpoint. the long legs. the manes of hair that can come in practically any colour and texture. those crazy high-contrast eyes with the white scleras and colourful irises. the fingers being so much longer than the toes. there's a lot to love. solid 10/10 animal species

[devotedgossamerreader]

hey there just out of curiosity are you not human, too?

[crabussy]

hilariously enough, I am probably the most human out of anyone on this entire site. earlier today I was posting about getting "species euphoria" from doing human activities like ecosystem management. I'm the worlds first therian to have a kintype that aligns with his biological species. shirt that says "I ❤️ being a sapient omnivorous primate & bipedal persistence predator" on the front and booty shorts that say "largest gluteal muscles to body size ratio on the planet"

In this time where all forms of misogyny remain way too normalized, I want to give a quick shout out to women!

[centers-for-disease-control]

Second shout out to trans men and nonbinary folks who have to deal with misogyny as well

[parkchanwoohoo]

The anger that drove the making of this is so palpable I can't stop laughing

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I

[maseratus]

Now a functionally suicidal character saying “I will live for you”. Now that’s a dynamic I can sink my teeth into.

[mousidy]

now how about a functionally suicidal character saying "I will sell hot dogs for you"

[mousidy]

[bisthefairy]

Hotdog vender lays down their life to protect their suicidal partner, who then takes over the hotdog stand to carry on their memory...

if you're bored and want to do something simple but fulfilling I recommend wikisource's proofread of the month. you can help public domain works be transcribed to be more accessible for everyone! even just validating a few pages helps a lot and there's a bunch of simple guides on the site.

hey if anyone feels like helping, I'm trying to chip away at this fascinating book by an author I love - it's about the Spirit World and there's a chapter about ghost sex.

idk why people are still trying to do "hear me out"s on tumblr

you could talk about wanting to fuck the space needle on here and people would still call you a poser for insisting on fucking "conventionally attractive architecture" as if that's a coherent, easily-recognizable category

my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"
