the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

NO its a JOKE and YOU DONT GET IT. ITS NOT THAT DEEP
While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive
alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife
im going INSANE thats MY POST.
It's your post but the journey to posting it changed it to such a degree that even its closest intimacies are now foreign to you. Sorry dude.
No bond stronger than a disabled girl and her disabled cat
[ID: A 6-panel black and white digital comic titled "Hard to Love: Disability and Cats". The cover is a black and white cat asleep on top of a curve-top cane.
Panel 1: A figure is turned away from the viewer and text around them says "Sometimes, I think I'm hard to love. My body doesn't work like it's supposed to"
Panel 2: Three sections. In the first the figure is looking at a chart confused and upset, labelled "I forget things". In the second they are walking using the cane and looking tired, labelled "I move slow". In the third, they are bending down with back pain to pick up a pencil and it is labelled "It hurts to do things most people do easily".
Panel 3: The cat is looking at the viewer, labelled "My cat's body also doesn't work like it's supposed to"
Panel 4: A similar 3-section layout. The cat is looking away from its food bowl, confused, labelled "He doesn't remember things". The cat then jumps and lands face-first, labelled "He's clumsy". Finally, he is stretching up to a window but can't reach it and it says "He can't do things that other cats can do".
Panel 5: The figure is holding the cat with their foreheads together and a heart above them, labelled "And I love him so much"
Panel 6: The cat is asleep on the figure's lap as they pet him, looking down at him considering and unsure. It is labelled "So maybe it's not too hard to love me".

Jiang Yanli 🤝 Jin Zixuan raised by angry controlling mother + distant emotionally unavailable father
I think it's incredibly easy to be sympathetic to Yanli and see how the trauma from her disfunctional parents has shaped her personality and created very specific coping mechanisms, but it makes me sad that people very rarely seem to extend that same sympathy to Zixuan - perhaps because we get to see less of his home life, and it's all filtered through the POV of a protagonist who doesn't like him. at any rate, what is shown is that he has a mother who does not hestitate to publically humiliate him and cares far more about her own interests than his happiness and fulfilment, and a father who... well, it's difficult to imagine JGS having much of a real relationship with/influence over a son who feels as strongly about honour and doing the right thing as Zixuan (see: standing up to Wen Chao, his friendship with and defense of Mianmian, leading the Jin forces during the war, confronting Yanli over believing she stole credit from a servant girl, etc.)
I can just really strongly imagine their relationship blossoming quickly on an emotional level because they both really crave that intimacy they lacked in their childhoods (Yanli had her brothers but she was always parentified and put on a pedastal, Zixuan had Mianmian but how close could they really get with a mother like Jin-furen, likely watching them like a hawk to look for Any Funny Business?), and given that it's canon that they stay up late talking and "tell each other everything", they were starting to break the cycle of horrible resentful marriages that traumatise their kids!!! 🥹🥹🥹 truly they were too powerful to be allowed to live
[ID: A MDZS comic. Jiang Yanli says sadly, "I was berated incessantly for any behaviour she didn't approve of and punished any time that I deviated even an iota from the plan that she had for my life. No matter what I did, or how hard I tried she made it clear that I was disappointing to her and--"
She continues speaking but looks up with surprise as Jin Zixuan puts a hand on her shoulder and says in unison, "-- nothing but a reminder of all the things she hates about my father."
Then Jin Zixuan says sadly, " I have never really been a person to him-- he cares about me in an abstract sense, as something that belongs to him and he can claim ownership of to spite my mother, but I don't think he has ever seen me as more than an extension of himself, and--" It's his turn to look surprised as Jiang Yanli puts a hand on his shoulder and says in sympathetic unison, "-- never cared enough to step in when, my mother was cruel."
They hold hands with tender expressions, a circle glowing between them, and say, "We will do better." End ID]
Jason lying to Damian for fun in the league because he’s never had a little brother before and he doesn’t know what else to do.
Jason: you know your name wasn’t always Damian.
Damian: ?
Jason: yeah up until you were four you were called Melissa.
Damian: shut up. no i wasn’t.
Jason, deadly serious: no, genuinely. you see, when you were born you looked so much like your mom that you looked like a girl, so we all thought you were female.
Damian, indignant: i don’t look female!
Jason: it’s ok- there’s nothing wrong with it, we loved you regardless.
Damian: i am a BOY.
Jason: yeah, but obviously when you’re a baby everything’s really tiny, so we couldn’t see your dick and we thought you might be a girl. so we named you Melissa. wasn’t until you were four that it grew enough that we noticed the mistake and changed you to Damian.
Damian, distraught: THAT’S NOT TRUE.
Jason: you responded to Melissa until you were four- sometimes i say Melissa out of habit and you don’t even notice.
Damian: what- no you don’t!
Jason, gaslighting: yeah, you just don’t notice. you just hear your name and don’t pay any more attention.
Damian, stomping his foot: YOU’RE LYING.
Jason: go ask your mom if you don’t believe me, i don’t know what to tell you.
*two hours later, Talia comes into Jason’s room with a sobbing Damian on her hip, crying into her shoulder*
Talia, exasperated to hell and back: Jason. you weren’t even here when Damian was an infant.
Jason, grinning widely: yeah i know.

#I fear we miss the way that MDZS wants to touch on the way in which childhood is essential for us to experience in full.#And how poverty and war steal it away far too fast.#Lan Wangji never really had a chance to be a kid. He lived with expectations you would place on adults.#And so he craves that freedom of expression. Of being able to lash out and muck about and say what he wants. He has been starving for it.#His rebellions are small. Generosity with his money and his time. Leniency with the new generation's expression of self.#For he knows what awaits him if he were to truly speak and act freely.#33 reminders on his back.

Every mythical creature has a natural counterpart meant to balance them out. Elves and dwarves, werewolves and vampires, etc. Humans have just discovered they too have a counterpart.
How Mexicans feel about duendes too.
True. Most Irish people, as Norwegians do with Trolls, will happily let the 'fairies' be a thing to make tours for tourists and idle threats to make children behave. Most Irish people will have a very normal and mature explanation of fairies as a common folk mythology that expresses some dimension of Irish culture but are not, obviously, to be taken literally.
And most Irish people, if you ask them to move a stone from a fairy circle will immoveably, flatly respond with 'absolutely fucking not'.
Construction projects have had to halt and be abandoned for it.
At work me and a couple coworkers (black, white, and mexican) had a fun discussion on whether there are more ghosts at a hospital or a cemetery.
everyone individually took a moment to specify that ghosts probably aren't REAL real. then weighed in on where and why.
for the record my position was that there's probably way more ghosts in hospitals because that's where people die horribly, but since you can only see ghosts in dark, solitary conditions, graveyards at night is where the majority of ghost sightings occur. hospitals are usually well lit and busy, so even if they're crammed with ghosts the living are too damn busy to see them. meanwhile if a cemetery has even one ghost that followed her corpse there from the hospital, she'll be spotted because that's where all the ghost hunters go to look.
this theory was received as extremely sensible, and a coworker drew the conclusion that that's why abandoned hospitals are even scarier than graveyards. once the place gets abandoned then you can tell how much ghosts got built up.
we all liked this explanation a lot and explained it to everyone else all night. and of course, none of us believe in ghosts.
Beliefs that are more interacted with than believed are so awesome sometimes.
Like this magical supernatural entity almost certainly doesn't actually exist, but that's no excuse to be impolite to them.

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).
When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".
When the boat is still being built, your say "it".
When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".
When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".
When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.
If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").
If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")
If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").
If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.
If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.
I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.
