Ed Sheeran and Hozier made a Christmas movie were a man (played by Hozier) is dating a bog nymph and has to pass her off as human when his roommates asked to meet her for Christmas. The soundtrack was just Shape of You on repeat and the only scene I can remember was where she got super drunk and filled their bathtub with frogs.

i didn't read the url and went googling :’)

A man called Ove is a heart-warming book about how sometimes interruptions in your life can actually bring about an amazing change.

I started reading A Man Called Ove when I was chest deep in a reading slump and try as I might, I could not get out of it. One of my friends suggested me to read this book and saints was I so darn happy that I read it. It took me a little while to get accustomed to the slow start of the novel, but as the story progressed and I got insights into Ove’s life and his daily interactions, I started falling in love with the character of Ove as well as the immaculate writing of Fredrik Backman.

He is depicted to be this senile, irritable, short tempered man with some extremely strict principles and a heart full of love for only one person, who unfortunately rests in a grave now. Ove goes about his days enforcing rules nobody cares about and visiting his wife in her grave, until a boisterous and loud family moves in next door, and he is forced to interact with them due to some turn of event or the other.

It is great to see Ove’s character stay polite with the new neighbours albeit getting irritated by the daily interactions. Although through the course of the book we find out that these interactions give Ove’s life some sort of purpose which was amiss making Ove undergo one heck of an epiphany and character development.

It was a super lovely book to read and unquestionably a sure remedy for reading slumps. I would love to hear your opinions about the book in the commenst and would encourage you to read it if you have not. Additionally, for all you people who are more comfortable with watching a movie, this book has been adapted into a movie of the same name!

All these poems about

lovers growing old together

and not a single one about

best friends

so we call this underrated,

because we're not

the power couple kissing in

yearbook pictures

or grandma and grandpa

sharing a dry fruit falooda

or hashtag relationship goals

or "till death do us part"

but I promise to outlive

every toxic boyfriend you

ever dated through high school

and help you dye your white hair

back to teenage neon blue

as long as you return the favour

and I know we'll never be

romantic enough for

the romantics but listen

you're still my better half

no matter who's in my life

unless of course, Brad Pitt

decides to marry me

and gets down on one knee

but the truth is one day we'll

be shopping for hearing aids

and you'll have a walking stick

and I, a hump on my back

our hands will get wrinkled

but don't worry, I promise you

we'll still buy glitter nail polish

and go for pricey manicures

two seventy-year-old girls

waking up with hangovers

the size of goddesses

going to Goa for birthdays

doing sleepovers on Sundays

gossiping through flying time

we're like two words that rhyme

taking perfect selfies together

at eighty or even ninety, sister

some with false teeth on

and some without

calling each other hot

gummy smiles or not.

WE’VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

pagesofkenna

it is a YMCA reference - that’s one of the 6 memes being represented here

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)

(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

captainlordauditor

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

japhers

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics
