SWEDEN OMG
Sweden’s performance was nice…
Eurovision is wild
Me: I hate our country’s entry this year, I don’t care what happens.
Random person from another country: your entry sucks lmao.
Me:
Best of Måns & Petra, Eurovision Song Contest 2016
someone: my favourite holiday is christmas!
me, an intellectual, my head adorned with a silver star and with a pink feather boa draped around my shoulders, covered in sequins and rose petals as golden rain falls behind me and the shirtless hunky drummers who follow me around 24/7: my favourite holiday is Eurovision
NEVER FORGET WOLF LEGOLAS FROM LAST YEAR WHO WANTED TO PERFORM NUDE BUT COULDN’T
LUCKILY SWEDEN PITCHED IN AND SAVED THE MEMES
if anyone ever ask what esc is just send them this with no context
There are times when it will go so wrong that you will barely be alive, and times when you realise that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else’s terms.
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? (via larmoyante)
I thought the Bermuda Triangle was going to be a bigger problem in my life when I was younger
when you break a world record, but a man comes in second (x)
And it’s worth note that Ledecky didn’t just win the 800 freestyle- she obliterated it:
Thats her. And those specks in the distance are her competitors. The second place swimmer was 11 SECONDS behind her. 11 seconds is FOREVER in something like this. Most second place swimmers in most races finish fractions of a second behind the first place swimmer.
Her finishing with none of her competitors in sight. And that yellow line is the previous world record’s pace. Ledecky is more than a full body length ahead.
Which, btw, she did in the 400m freestyle earlier in the games. Seen here:
(The previous world record in this race was held by her, to begin with, btw. As well as the 3 world record times preceding that one.)
So to sum it up: Yeah, Phelps is one of the most decorated Olympic swimmers ever etc etc but him getting silver means jack in the face of the actual-human-avatar-of-Poseidon that is Katie Ledecky.

The Olympics should have a ‘For Fun’ section at the end of all the games so all the athletes can try different sports.
