I love being an adult because you know what actually happens when you run your car into a curb and scratch up the bumper?

Nothing. You get it fixed, or you don’t. Whatevs.

You know what actually happens when you are depressed or sick or on your period and don’t cook dinner?

Nothing. You still get to eat something, nobody scolds you, it doesn’t have any real bearing on your future success, and you don’t get soft shunned for a week by your family.

You know what actually happens when you break stuff, forget stuff, get sick, fall asleep, are rude, miss a flight, don’t know how to do XYZ thing on fixing cars or canning food or whatever, lose things, get lost because you can’t read a map and forgot to charge your phone, buy the wrong groceries, plant the wrong plants, not make your bed, make your bed wrong, jump on your bed, sleep on your bed, eat crackers in your bed, have emotions literally anywhere?

Nothing.

Nothing happens.

No one is mad.

No one can hurt you, and if they do there are laws saying they can’t and that it’s an actual crime with legal consequences.

All there are are outcomes and different paths and different problems and different situations and you just bumble your way forward into dealing with those and that’s it. That’s the whole thing. It’s not the wrong choice, having problems isn’t indicative of your inherent badness or inadequacy or lack of applying yourself. It’s just life, and it’s happening to literally everyone.

I’m not even kidding.

You just do stuff and nothing bad happens. Walk around existing? Nothing bad will happen. Wild.

You can cry. In public. And the most likely outcome is not that you will get taken away to receive the beating of your lifetime, it is that people will mostly ignore you and some will be kinder to you. 🤯

On Saturday I got pulled over because it turned out I’d been driving on expired tags for a year and hadn’t even noticed.

I got told to “take care of it soon please” and let go with a warning. Today I went to the DMV and paid a $5 late fee along with the 2-year fee for registration, got new plates and stickers and that was that.

A year late. No big deal. No one was shocked or appalled. It was just a thing that happened and then I took care of it. No biggie.

Turns out, people expect you to make mistakes because they’re people and they make them too. More often than not, you can just fix them and move on.

Thank you for this lovely positive post!

[kendrixtermina]

No one ever yells at you just for entering a room, especially not when you just want to get food or tp. 

You can pick what brands of stuff to buy!

You can cook all the foods without raisins, or leave out any other ingredient that you just don’t like. 

[kylenesusan]

You can have people over. You can be loud! Or you can stay inside for days and not talk to anyone. You can have ice cream any time you want! You can decorate your living space with all the weird stuff you love! You can decide not to decorate at all and embrace minimalism.

You get to choose who and what enters your home!

I love this realness on my dash. Everyone is doing the 'wrong' things all of the time and it doesn't matter. That is not to say that it doesn't matter, it just throws you down a different path, or the same path. "Different paths and different problems and different situations." Life is happening and I think that's really beautiful. 🙏🏻

i love ao3 donation season bcs every year I get to see people acting like thousands of strangers giving like 10 usd to a volunteer run website are personally oppressing them

[bauliya]

nothing says "I have no perspective in life or any idea of how anything works" than mile long posts about why an ad free fanfiction website run by <1000 volunteers with an operating budget of <500k usd is responsible for all the structural inequalities in the world. and yes that's a tiny budget for a website hosting so much data. you'd know that w ten minutes of research

[tigerinkangel]

Also, to all the people whining about how they want the cite to change to adhere to their personal morals:

Bitches the site is OPEN SOURCE, they are literally giving you the building blocks to make your OWN fic cite, FOR FREE, if you dont like how A03 runs 🙃

Dont like it, literally just make your own cite, that what the creators of A03 did.

KS Calendar 2022

First off, we want to just say thank you. As always, we are so grateful for the wonderful support from everyone.

We wanted to do more this year and push ourselves since we had such a positive reaction last year. We added bookmarks and stickers this year. This year, we are taking inspiration from myths, lore, and legends. There will be a mix of soft wonder, romance to darker, sexier stories.

We want to also remind everyone that the first 25 to order will get a free exclusive print with their order, and if we meet the goal of 50 calendars sold BEFORE November 20th, we will add extra surprise goodies to everyone’s order!

Purchase Here

We are at 11 sold so far, thank you for helping us reach double digits!!!

Here are some sneak peeks from the amazingly talented @thatpinkshinobi!

Reach out to us here or @moonlady9 or @thatpinkshinobi if you have any questions or comments.

Thank you again! Much love!

[sariasprincy]

Do you like KakaSaku?

Do you like fanart of KakaSaku?

Do you like staying organized and using calendars? Okay, no one said yes to this because let's be honest, it's too much work

If you said yes to any of these then you should think about supporting our artists and purchasing a KakaSaku calendar!!

And before you say 2022 is still so far away...dudes, most of you still think it's 2006 so no, it's not. Buy a calendar.

[x-cloud-x]

💀"most of you still think it's 2006" 💀💀i'm dead, @sariasprincy !! 😂 this made me LOL. Calendars are really useful! I write on them: vet appointments, dinner reservations, friends' birthdays, and more! Support your local fanartist AND set life reminders!

What emotion do you create from?

I found this quite interesting, I got longing

Tagging: @cosmic--moth @empress-nariko @sayurinomoe @mouseymightymarvellous @oholive @snickiebear + anyone else who wants to do this 💕

[x-cloud-x]

Thanks for sharing this quiz, @bouncyirwin ! It didn't have to reach directly into my heart and read my tea leaves, though... 💀 Here is a snippet of what I got:

"Alienation

You create from alienation. There is a distance not only between yourself and others, but between yourself and what you are expected to be, yourself and your own humanity. Your honest self feels too divorced from what it should be for it to have any place among everyone else. Your art is an expression of your estrangement from normalcy and other's expectations. It is strange and shocking because you feel that is what you are when you are not pretending to be otherwise. You do not create things to be pretty or pleasing to others, but to be raw and confusing."

I find this fascinating. It's clear that this quiz author has a deep understanding of the human condition and I am in awe, truly. My result is both concerning (😂) and on another level, inspiring! I am drawn to the idea of creating something while keeping this specific guidance in mind, because it seems like it would be a fun and possibly very fulfulling experience to do it consciously!

The quiz questions themselves were also very thought provoking in their own right!

If you’re really Canadian, why don’t you write Kankuro as Kankurou? 🤨

Hi cloud, I just wanted to pop in and say hello, see how you were doing and how your practice is going~ I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

Hi Birk! Thank you so much for thinking of me 🥰 I've actually been really busy at work lately, but I have this week entirely off and am SO ready for relaxing!

I'm not doing anything fancy; I have a list of personal action items that I've been putting of, I'm going shopping for new clothes with some friends, I'm reading a lot (four books finished is my goal this week!), using many of my creative outlets (drawing, painting, writing, getting ready to participate in national novel writing month (nanowrimo), and

Thanks for checking in and I hope you are also well! ✨

everyone on here is so obsessed with convincing themselves that all the things they like are actually super queer and feminist and communist or something. you know you can just have fun right

[butchcorgi]

where’s that post about how dangerous it is that people are forgetting fiction is sometimes meant to be uncomfortable and upsetting and sad. i need to pull it up again with regard to survival games specifically because people will really walk into a story where they know in advance “people are going to die and it’s going to feel awful because they won’t always deserve it” and then get mad when people die even if they don’t deserve it and call it bad writing 

[butchcorgi]

when you’re a grown adult consuming narratives made for grown adults you shouldn’t be surprised when there isn’t a happy ending on a story labeled as a tragedy in bright red sharpie. you should not still think that all the right characters are going to go home satisfied at the end of the day. of course it sucks when your faves die and of course you feel bad about it and you think of what could have been but when an author makes the decision to do that you always have to think about why. what kind of story is being told here? what does this action accomplish, individually and thematically? why does it make me feel the way it does? the people who write narratives centered around survival games are often asking themselves these same questions as they build their overarching plots, and this is how you’re able to uncover the arguments they are making about human psychology and society at large.

so i have to question, then, the media literacy of the people who watched squid game and came away from it talking about who should and shouldn’t have died, or people who are frantically trying to dig a “here’s how everyone can get out and be a-okay!” out of the rubble or people who make 5 million aus involving their favorite goddamn minecraft youtubers, when absolutely none of that is the point
