A sarcastic little shit that stumbled upon a website that introduced them to the wonderful world of fandom. Whatever makes me giggle goes on my blog. Stage Manager. Beta Reader. 23 They/Them
Notice: not only do your friends actually like you, they secretly like you twice as much as they let on
An experience that made me feel much more assured in my friendships was at college, a friend and myself were talking about a third friend of ours and how cool and knowledgeable and smart she is and how we feel like we could never be that cool. The next day I was working with a professor on some paper presentations we were about to have and when I came out of the staff room I was informed that these two aforementioned friends were having the same discussion about me. And it turns out we spent a lot of time thinking about our friends who aren’t currently in the room and gushing over how cool and smart and talented they are without being able to say all of it to their face.
Your friends secretly love you a lot more than they already express, just like you love them so intensely that saying it all to their faces would sound clumsy to your own ears. It’s true though
“Our main timeframe was from the invention of Barbie through to now. The timeless pieces, which also has an echo to the actual toys that were in the dream house that Mattel makes today. It’s very simple, and clear, and beautiful. That was one of Greta’s key words. "It has to be beautiful. It has to be beautiful, as well.” Taking it properly from the late ‘50s to the '60s was a big influence of that modernist furniture that was coming through.“ – BARBIE’SSETDECORATORKATIESPENCERTALKSDESIGNOFTHEDREAMHOUSE
the r/curatedtumblr -> tumblr migration is so funny to me. it’s like going to the zoo and enjoying it so much you climb into the enclosure to live with the monkeys
this reply evokes such an incredible image in the mind’s eye
guy who replies to all his friends’ selfies with the flame emoji but it’s because he abhors the graven image and he’s trying to burn them but he doesn’t know how computers work
There’s a phase that small kids go through, when they’ve just learned how to talk enough to have something sembling an intelligent, intellectual argument. They like to practice this by wanting to disagree about anything - mainly general statements that were not 100% perfectly waterproof. If you tell a 4-year-old that bananas are green when they’re raw, and they turn yellow when they’re ripe, there’s a good chance that they’ll give you that “well that can’t be right” frown, and start to argue. Surely not all bananas that are yellow are always ripe.
Unfortunately humouring them about these arguments is very important for their development and a great opportunity to teach them more about how the world works, so you’ll sometimes end up arguing about things like these, and every single time when you explain that’s not how something works, they’ll come up with another argument starting with “but what if-”, until you are forced to admit that yes, if someone did for some reason take one single green banana, spray-paint it yellow and then expertly textured it to look just like a ripe banana, and then break into a grocery store in the middle of the night to slip that one painted banana into the display of ripe, edible bananas, then that one specific yellow banana would not be ripe and ready to eat.
As far as the child is concerned, this means that your entire initial statement was false, and you were wrong and they were right. Their need to be correct about something has been satisfied. Fortunately, most children grow out of this phase eventually.
The ones that manage to survive into adulthood without growing out of it end up on Twitter.
idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it
Actually forget what I said. This dream is more important than anything
