Everytime this gets a note when its nowhere near christmas I question my sanity just a little bit more

[youhaveaguineapigwhere]

No, it is July, stop that, stop giving this notes, you guys have lost reblogging privileges

[runawayalters]

Please reblog this if you believe that alters are real people with valid emotions

Please, I need to prove a point. It would mean a lot to one of my very depressed and suicidal alters.

[forgetful-nerd]

You mean to tell me that Rise of the TMNT left off with Raph being unceremoniously dumped from “the leader” role to be replaced by his younger, hotshot brother and left completely directionless…..

AND

Had foot recruit reveal herself as the Casey Jones after she completely turn her back on the organization she dedicated her life to leaving her completely alone and directionless…..

AND

Neither of these two gotta….I don’t know…. Have a bit of a blow up??? Neither got to struggle with those hard, complex emotions by bashing up bad guys and coincidentally running into each other?? Forming the classic Raph—Casey friendship we all know and love because they found someone to be their outlet???? Found someone who understands them???

REALLY???

Hi, a quick update about…things.

I find this very difficult to ask and I feel really guilty even putting this online, but I kinda need help financially with something important to me and my family.

If you haven’t seen on my Kofi, my mother’s bathroom has basically broken. The people who installed her bath did a really bad job, and as a result the whole thing needs replacing because it leaks bad enough that it’s leaking into the kitchen. My mother couldn’t afford a better house when she was forced to downsize, and so she now has to try and pay the cost of all the repairs, which totals to around £2,500. She’s on disability benefits only and needs a bath desperately due to her disabilities, but cannot pay such a large price. I unfortunately can’t just give her the money as I don’t have the money even with my savings from years of saving at university. I feel terrible for asking, but I’m putting a new goal on my Kofi to try and pay for this for her, and I need some help. I don’t want people to donate if they can’t or don’t want to - I know how awful the cost of living is right now, but every little bit will help manage this insane cost.

I’m going to link my goal below, and if anyone is kind enough and able to donate even a single dollar, I would be forever grateful. I feel so shit for asking for help, and I really don’t want to, but it is what it is. If anyone is willing to donate I thank you eternally. Sorry for being so pathetic to ask, feel free to ignore this if you can’t. I completely understand.

I’m so sorry to ask this. I really want my mother to be able to fix this or she won’t be able to have a bathroom that she deserves after all the years of poverty and torment she sacrificed for me. I am ashamed I can’t just give it to her but I can’t even pay my rent for living in her house right now. Thank you to everyone for even following me, commissions have really helped and all your support is treasured beyond belief.

[confident-fear]

This is one of my favorite sites on here because everyone who reblogged it truly believes it because their moms won’t actually see it

[radishnt]

which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?

[mothman-misato]

y- you were putting it in cold water?????

[boimgfrog]

Radish. Answer the question radish.

[radishnt]

yeah??? i thought for like. 5 years that ppl just put it in hot water 2 speed up the tea-ification process didn’t realize there was an actual reason

[boimgfrog]

You dont have the patience to microwave water for 3 minutes???

[catsnraincoats]

[ID: Tags reading “u think i have the patience to boil water wtf ?????” /End ID]

why are you. putting it in the microwave to boil it

[boimgfrog]

Do you think I have the patience to boil water on the stove

[catsnraincoats]

Its takes less than a minute

[boimgfrog]

Bestie is ur stovetop powered by the fucking sun

[catsnraincoats]

How long does it take you to boil a cup of water on the stove

[boimgfrog]

Like seven minutes

[catsnraincoats]

Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat n it boils in like two minutes… less than that is u use a saucepan…

[boimgfrog]

Crying you’re putting the whole mug on the stove ???? On medium heat???? Ur stove is enchanted

[pidoop]

Every single person in this post is a fucking lunatic

[silverjirachi]

Yet another post that reads like four shakespeare characters who come out in the middle of the play to talk about something completely unrelated for comic relief

[wizardlyghost]

(Enter RADISHN’T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN’T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN’T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution’s brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour’d drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.

[dustyxoverture]

I’m sorry but the THOUGHT that has been put into this, I actually CAN’T—

The fact that nearly every line is so metrically considered- near perfect iambic pentameter witb the occasional trochee for emphasis, but usually retaining a strong sense of rhythm nonetheless. And then the king comes in at the end, so wound in his disbelief that his response is reduced to prose.

And the even better thing about this is how easy it would have been to structure the king’s line into iambic pentameter: it is effectively already said as such because of the way wizardlyghost has phrased it, yet they haven’t!! They did not break the line, rendering what, by all typically of both Shakespearean canon and other periods context should be the character with the most command and authority in the whole play. If there was ever a more effective way to convey a genuine “what the fuck??”, I know of it not.

But it gets better!! Shakespeare regularly uses meter in order to represent class divide; the nobility usually speak in iambic pentameter, save for a few particularly chosen moments (e.g. Lady Macbeth’s descent into madness, Othello’s realisation of Desdemona’s “betrayal”) or just lines where Shakespeare needs to suggest high emotion or when a character is lost in thought. Supernatural characters like the fairies in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the Witches in Macbeth usually speak in trochaic tetrameter, an inversion of iambic pentameter. Lower class characters, particularly those used for comic relief (usually under the influence of alcohol), speak with no structure at all: their language is plain prose. Therefore, if this is a conversation between these types of characters, as the prompt from silvergirachi suggests, why the hell are the characters speaking so eloquently???

Now, this is Tumblr. It is subsequently logical to assume that this may have merely been a humorous recreation (and a very good one at that) of the Shakespearean style in a way that is widely recognisable to an audience that may or may not have read a great deal of Shakespeare, which is understandable. However, logic is boring so I’m going to probe further into this to the point where future historians will look to this as an example of overanalysing.

The inherent eloquence of the characters here suggests an unusual subversion of the roles typically assumed in Shakespearean comedy. This could be interpreted along two major avenues: firstly, that the rhetoric displayed by the speakers is fundamentally representative of how truth can be expected even from the most seemingly pointless or ludicrous discussions. Furthermore, it could suggest that it matters not how well constructed your speeches are: if you talk bullshit, it’s going to sound that way despite your attempts to hide it.

This is similar but not identical to the second avenue of interpretation: there is the implication that the noblemen in the play are in fact the comic relief characters, therefore implying that the “common people” of the play are the ones whose influence, though not expressed in such a highly spoken manner, makes a lot more sense than whatever the hell this is. If this was a real Shakespeare play, I would call it a subtle exploration into the innate corruption of the rich and powerful. Well done, op.

Now, I doubt any of this is actually grounded analysis in any way, shape or form, but if someone else can take this to the extremes of writing a Shakespearean scene, why can I not analyse it as such? And where else to do so than Tumblr?

[wizardlyghost]

im in tears i didnt think anyone would put this much analysis into this‚ thank you so much

THE SACRED TEXTS

[this-is-now-cannon]

As I look outside this autumn day, 

without a breeze or sun to stay, 

I see the trees all a brightened hue, 

light dancing on their morning dew. The rising red of dying leaves,

fall to the ground when it for the last time breathes. 

A fleeting sense of peace and call, 

the branches reach so high and tall,

 as the leaves fall from them all. And litters the ground with peaceful toil,

 gentle shades upon the soil.

And so I go out beneath the trees,

 with no bright light or cool autumn breeze,

 and I rest my head upon the bark,

 fearing not harm, or cold, nor dark.

And I think to myself, as I look up at the sky above, 

“Oh goodness, today, this world I’ll love.”

And I say to you, all who will hear, 

let your mouth give a laugh or sweetened cheer,

for we lived today through it all,

and enjoy as the autumn leaves fall.

[this-is-now-cannon]

To continue what I had started on a previous post:

Writers and artists, please take time to get up and stretch your back and arms, shake out your hands and get something to drink, take a minute to step out for fresh air. It will make you feel better in the long run to take 10-30 minutes between work, and it will also give you time to think out the next steps, be it how you want to draw someone's scarf, or how you want to phrase a counter argument. Breaks help the creative mind and prevents cramps and stiff muscles, plus being hungry does make thinking harder, believe me.

[preservationofnormalcy]

I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.

You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me or buying a print or sticker on ko-fi here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!

hi babies c:

[this-is-now-cannon]

Heya! If anyone needs to add protein and fiber to their diets but either don't want to cook meat, can't have meat, can't afford fresh fiber-rich vegetables, or many other things, canned beans and dried nuts are very easy to add to dishes. Although I do get that nuts can sometimes be expensive, but most beans are pretty cheap and taste nice in rice and stuff, plus can be hidden in some dishes if you aren't the biggest fan of the taste or texture. Happy cooking!
