Kuki's here! @xtaylorscat - Tumblr Blog

Dasha is precious and needs to be protected at all costs.

they’re finally talking about patty’s binge eating disorder and food addiction, and it is heavy. the writers are portraying it scarily well too...this isn’t something you can just get over by controlling portions. as someone who has tried that many a times to the point of just not eating cuz i know if i did i won’t stop...they got it right.

hopefully the season goes on to show patty getting the help she needs because without regular therapy to dissect and become aware of her emotional problems, she would still be consumed by an unhealthy relationship with food. they should flesh this story out and bring awareness because a quick blurb won’t cut it.

They key to getting more characters like this is supporting the ones that exist!

I’m going to meet the love of my life in the traditional way. By getting arrested and having my mugshot featured in a Hot Felons account, launching my modeling career and catching the eye of the 35 year old child of a billionaire

moonquakelake-deactivated202001

reasons i love jon snow:

the first chapter he appears in he rescues puppies

the first chapter he narrates he gets drunk and cries

i mean talk about iconic

makesgoodchoices

I am in the 1% of the population with this, but I really do not enjoy summer. I love winter, like… if you are cold, you can put on a hoodie, you can grab a blanket and snuggle…. Like… when you’re hot, what do you do? Rip your skin off?

awed-frog

heatwave!

For anyone living in Europe: the first heatwave of the season is forecast for tomorrow, and will likely stretch until Friday. Please stay safe.

Open your windows at night BUT close everything, including blinds and curtains, during the day

If you need it, buy a fan, a cold blanket or a cooler

Drink a lot

Also drink mostly water, without ice

If you can, avoid getting out in the sun between 11am and 6pm

If you need to go outside, wear sunscreen and a hat

Also loose clothes and natural, breathable fabrics

Think of your pets!

Make sure they have access to water and shade, bring them inside the house if possible, don’t leave them in a car alone

Check on your grandma and other elderly relatives!

Old people are at risk during hot weather, so remind them to drink and stay inside with their blinds closed

If you or people you know are experiencing the following symptoms

breathlessness

chest pain

confusion

intense thirst

weakness

dizziness

cramps that get worse or don’t go away

call an ambulance.

powermale

Love the annual culling of Europeans because it gets over 70 degrees Fahrenheit

necrotic-lust

you have to realize we have extreme humidity. the thermometer might say 30C, but in reality, its 35C and you’re almost unable to breathe

loafed-beans-deactivated2020082

So does like, the entire US east coast and south-east lmao.

octopuscato

If you’d take your head out of your arse for five seconds you’d realise that you have air conditioning nearly anywhere including private homes, and we…don’t. People are dying from this. But sure, “lmao”. Stay classy.

moi-ennepe-deactivated20251213

there’s this thing called not being used to or prepared for it, asshole.

anyway stay safe! bring sunscreen and water if you go out

that map looks wrong, too. it’s been 36C in Rome.

such-justice-wow

3 people have already died, this is a legitimate issue you sociopath

especially since most of the people who die are either elderly or children

triggerwarned

ok but I’m curious why people don’t just order an AC. if you can’t get one in Europe for some reason have one shipped from the US? They aren’t that expensive and if it’s as bad as it sounds it’s more than worth it

such-justice-wow

because thats something you’d have to physically install in your house for basically a weeks worth of use maybe?

people have stand fans normally if anything

manwiththesquidhat

They’re ~$150 and all you do is open your window and stick it in. Takes maybe half an hour tops. Is that really too much effort?

octopuscato

Do you understand that a lot of countries don’t…have this kind of window? And window ACs make no sense for them?

naliya

Literally no one has windows like this in France, this is legit the one way they never really open. And I’m sure it’s the same for most euro countries.

Also… installing an AC on a very old house that was built centuries ago is not that easy as it wasn’t made for it. A lot of people all over Europe live in places that are older than the USA ffs, sometimes - in my country at least - it’s forbidden to even alter a building so long as it’s old enough to be deemed historical. You will need to get a permit for such a thing, if you even get it.

Not to mention that those things are expensive and most people don’t have the money to spend on installing them when it won’t be useful 90% of the time as our climate rarely got that hot up until now (global warming might permanely change that though). Our old stones are usually enough during summer as they were designed to trap the cold at a time where ACs sure as shit didn’t exist.

So shut the fuck up with your us-centrism and sit down.

sturm-und-drunk-deactivated2021

Americans shouldn’t have the right to speak. It would do a great favour to the rest of the world.

loudestcrowdever

Oh my god shut the fuck up you literally have a problem with AC. Your buildings are fucking freezing because you can’t handle even the most insignificant inconvenience.

Just. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

nightlystudying

The heatwave is going strong so please hydrate and take care!

depressed-student-deactivated20

Please hydrate and you inconsiderate Americans above just shut up for once in your life.

thewhatwouldyoudo

If you can’t pay for a fan, cooler or something similar (because the good ones who are not burning when it’s too hot they are fricking expensive) then hang wet clothes in your rooms, it cooles down the temperatures.

Drink! Stay hydrated. Water! If you want to taste something, put lemons, ginger, mint, apples, strawberries etc in it. Doesn’t matter what you like, but drink!

If you are like me and you feel like you cant breathe without fresh air, then it is a good idea to wet your curtains. The hot air from outside is cooled down because of it.

Drink! Warm(not hot) tea is good as well. Sweating helps the body to cool down. Doesn’t matter what kind of tea, but drink!

For you and your pets: cool/wet towels to lay down on or put then around your head and feet. Yes, feet!

Drink.

Wash your hands with lukewarm water.

Drink.

Dont shower really cold, it wont help in the long run. If you shower really cold and come out of the bathroom, the hot air will feel even worse than before. Lukewarm is your best friend.

Drink water. Seriously. Stay hydrated. And if you’ve the feeling that you dont want to drink something anymore, eat your water, like: watermelons, cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, salads, peaches, oranges, etc. It helps so, so much. But dont drink water with extra sugar in it (like cola, limos, etc). You’ll need more water after that.

Put on some suncream even if you’re not in the direct sunlight or mostly inside. You skin will thank you in a few years.

Dont do sports in the middle of the day. Early morning, late evening/early night is the best time. And if you do sport… do you guess it? Yeah, drink enough water.

Another thing about drinking: in germany we say that you should drink up to 2-3 liters a day on normal temperatures, depending on your weight, height, work outs, job, etc. But on warm days up to threefold. If you are not sure if you’re drinking enough, check the color of your pee. Is it a light yellow, it’s perfect. If its darker, you really have to drink more water. If its transparent on the other hand, you can drink a little less. And if it’s always transparent you should consult a doctor and check about diabetes.

Another thing for your pets: if you have a feeling that the heat is too much for them, dont put ice cold water on them. They could die of a shock. Again: lukewarm water is your beeeeest friend! And you can get cooling mats on amazon for them. If they are behaving totally different than normally, check their tongues. Are they dark red?please go to a vet immediately. They could die otherwise.

And about you plants: water dem between 6pm-22pm. Not before because water reflect sunlight and you could accidentally burn them to crisps. (I’m still sorry, Paolo, my little palm tree)

So, stay safe :)

chamelis

some americans at it again being assholes. stay safe everyone!

plagabrudas

I love how they said “oh its only 150$, why wouldn’t Europeans just buy it?” Maybe its because eastern european countries are fucking poor and 150$ is like 559 PLN, which is a half of most of my people’s salary and they just can’t fucking afford it

plagabrudas

Also, that how windows work in Europe, its impossible to put AC in here

mercuryzeta

Why ya'lls windows stupid

octopuscato

Look at this person, who read all of this, who had every chance to understand that our houses, including windows, just are not made for these temperatures or American-style AC, because it never before was a fucking issue. This person, who, after having the chance of understanding all this, arrived at the question: “Why are your windows stupid (and not like ours)?”

I keep thinking there’s hope. Then shit like this happens.

mercuryzeta

It’s meant to be a humorous statement. We dont generally have windows like that in the states. They seem incredibly inconvenient. So I ask again. Why is y'alls windows stupid?

octopuscato

People are dying from the heat. Last time we had a record heat summer, it was 70,000. But you do you and enjoy your jokes and superior windows, fuckface.

naliya

here we go again…

tenitchyfingers

Wow, such edge. Wowowow!

Shut the fuck up, you sociopathic trolls. Maybe think about the fact that your nation is the biggest polluter in the world and pipe the fuck down because this shit is majorly y’all’s fault. So the least you could do is sit the fuck down and shut up.

catchymemes

sistertaxon

another hot take: a lot of society’s definition of femininity is defined by attraction to men, and conversely, society’s concept of masculinity is defined by a lack of attraction to men.

i think this explains a few things - like how a lot of society’s hate for lesbians is based on lack of attraction to men while society’s hate for gay men is based on the presence of that attraction, obviously, but also i think it helps explain why bisexual men are invalidated as being “just gay” (due to perceived gender nonconformity) and why bisexual women are invalidated is being “just straight” (due to perceived gender conformity). & i think there’s overlap with bi women’s attraction to women being perceived as a lack of attraction to men. (this isn’t to say that i think bi people are more or less oppressed than gay people, just that it stems from subtly different points)

i think this is also why gay/bi liberation can never succeed without trans liberation, because the root of homophobia is in a fear and hatred of that which is perceived as incorrectly performing gender. to act as though homophobia exists in a vacuum independent of transphobia is to ignore the root cause of homophobia

& it’s also why the trend of gay and bi people trying to be as gender-conforming as possible to “fit in” doesn’t help the community overall but instead shifts the target onto people who don’t fit into those boxes. and trans people can be guilty of this too, like with truscum/transmeds who prefer to fit themselves into the existing framework and pointing the finger at others, rather than denying the entire system

dhomochevski

Me: i look good in this outfit

The voice of luigi pirandello in my head: ok but people will never see you the way you see yourself in this outfit because they already have an idea of a version of you you have no control over and that you can't change no matter what clothes you're wearing. Also, do you genuinely think you look good in these clothes or are you wearing these clothes because you want to present a version of yourself that is appealing to others but that does not reflect your true self?

glossynympheteyes

this movie is so fucking creepy jesus fuck

dumpster-king

It’s by Tim Burton, what did you honestly expect?

porcelainandgold

Actually, it’s Henry Selick, who was the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas. The book was written by Neil Gaiman, though, and is far…far….worse.

whatpunkin

Sorry, I’m about to geek the hell out.

The movie is captivating, but the book is twenty kinds of terrifying, even now, ten years after I first read it. As disturbing as the movie may have been to some, the things Selick added really serve to cushion just how horrific the story really is.

First of all, the character of Wybie does not exist in the book. Coraline is facing all of this nearly alone, with her only help coming from the sly comments of the cat, a warning from the circus mice, and the stone given to her by her neighbor, presented with no comment but that it “makes the unseen seen.”

Second, the Other Parents are never quite as warm (and, dare I say, normal) as they are in the gifs above. They’re described as having paper-white skin and the Other Mother’s hair is said to move on its own, and her long, red, claw-like nails don’t ease any uncertainty that she is absolutely, positively up to no good. The first time Coraline meets them, they (and the rest of the Others) seem to be playing roles (for whatever reason, Coraline does not seem to pick up on this), like they all know what to say and what to do and are simply waiting for Coraline to make her move in their terrifying play world. This is shown to be partly true when the Other Parents tell her they know she’ll be back soon after she refuses the buttons - this time, to stay.

Third, the Other Mother commits atrocities that really should not have been in a book for anyone not fully grown up. She physically deforms the world around Coraline to slow her progress in their game beyond any mild traps the movie portrays, and, instead of turning the Other Father into the wandering pumpkin-thing seen in the film, she simply ceases to use him and throws his body away in the cellar, leaving him to rot with whatever bit of sentience he has left. She begins to lose her touch, as Coraline gains the upper hand. Her world doesn’t just become a nightmare - it falls apart completely. No creepy but oddly cool bug furniture here, just the house that now appears to be a child’s drawing. Whatever the Other Mother is (a beldame, but something tells me she’s much more ancient and powerful than that), she does not give half a hump about what she has to do to ensnare Coraline. Destroy the supporting characters of her twisted creation? Done. Allow herself to be dismembered to ruin Coraline’s life in the normal world? Not even gonna bat an eyelash.

On a final, personal note, imagine eight year-old me, ignored by my parents, absorbed in the story and identifying with Coraline from the start. Imagine me finishing this bloodcurdling book and immediately thinking of my basement, where there is still a locked door that my grandmother swears up and down is nothing more than a storage room, but has not once in my (or my mother’s) lifetime unlocked.

Can you see why this book still scares me?

hematite2

Fun fact I learned from seeing neil gaiman speak: when he first wanted the book published, his editor said it was too scary. He suggested she read it to her young daughter, and then decide. So she did, and her daughter wasn’t afraid, and it was published. Years later, Gaiman was sitting next to that daughter at an event and told her this story, and she said “oh I was terrified I just didn’t want to tell my mom”.

Coraline WAS too scary to be published, but exists anyway because a girl lied to her mother.
