I do always wonder what ppls general perception of me is bcz outside of 3 ppl here (excluding irls) no one rly knows what i look like. It’s just weird to think about 2 me. The version of Me that comes naturally to myself doesn’t exist at allllllll to a majority of people I interact with on the internet

[day-mark]

This is absolutely going to go sideways but part of me is SO relieved at the prospect of getting ANSWERS. But also I might throw up can we all hold hands

call me an optimist but i dont think its gonna go sideways? like he is already at his lowest point, the people who have always wanted to hate him already do after everything thats happened in his career like whats there left to lose (but twitter stans) 😭

also idk the last controversy stream i remember him doing was pretty well done in my eyes and cleared up a lot of things and actually gave him the opportunity to directly talk about his thoughts and not have twitter freaks put words in his mouth

i dont think him sharing damning receipts will sway say, tommy and jms fanbase or others who already have a hate boner for dream, but other ccs who are outside of the immediate circle and like normies in general will certainly raise an eyebrow.

AND YES OFC WE ARE ALL HOLDING HANDS

Also, wrt that last post... As someone who has taken to watching a lot of Korean shows on Netflix, since everyone has the same hair colour unless it's dyed, I have problems remembering who is who sometimes. Like I know how that sounds but I'm genuinely that face blind. ;_;

It's not a problem with main characters but if someone isn't that recurring or there's a LOT of characters, yeah my ass is forgetting.

I will say, something that’s kinda convenient for guys, is that you can just grow a beard and look significantly older. I can’t grow a beard w/o help, and if I did w/ that help, and still otherwise presented as I do now, ‘oh she must be older than 25’ is not going to be people’s first impression.

And one amang, an Iyrysch man,

Uppone his hoby swyftly ran…

WAIT HANG ON - slamming the brakes on drawing this stupid picture - do you nerds even KNOW the etymology of the word “hobby”? The thing you do for pleasure? The thing you have too many of? The thing you spend too much money on and share with your friends? The thing tumblr probably is to you? Those hobbies?

It comes from a now-kind-of-extinct breed of Irish pony-horse. It was called the Irish Hobby. Supposedly the hobby got its name from the Gaelic word obann, or swift. They definitely were. They’d obann your pants clean off.

Fast tough little bastards, built for rough terrain and renowned for their speed and stamina, hobby horses belonged to the Celts, and their highly annoying style of mounted warfare. but their conquerors liked hobby horses a lot, kept them, used them for themselves, and found them useful enough, despite the fact that they also had famously useful things like mounted knights or horse archers. A lightweight Irish warrior, mounted on a hobby horse, was called a hobelar.

Reportedly and in depictions, hobelars rode without stirrups. Or saddles. Or bridles. Or - well - this is all sounding very improbable, because the hobelars COULDNT have just been charging around basically bare-assed on naked ponies, screaming, and somehow in the process undoing the composure of actual mounted armoured knights. Knights who, I remind you, had stirrups. Stirrups are useful! It’s quite likely the hobelars had some gear. And clothes. and weapons. And the ponies probably had some tack - I am picturing a bellyband that you could at least hang a saddlebag on, and a neck rope for catching the bloody thing, even if not a saddle. But the overall impression, somehow created by people on darling little ponies, was apparently quite striking and fearful.

I mean. God Forbid People Have Hobbies.

Anyway after a while, whatever people became the British had eventually conquered all of the rough terrain that hobbies were best at, and horse archers just got sexier, and mounted knights became aristos, and all the bog and forest people had been subdued, so it was time to sunset the hobelars. but WAIT! Hobby horses are still tremendously fun and appealing! They’re so fast! and you can ride them without a saddle! Sure, they’re not up to the weight of a mounted knight, or indeed a lot of guys… but surely we can still find a use for a hobby or two? In the back garden? Somewhere?

At which point an English king decided to keep hobby horses just for fun. No military application. No further development of the technology. Not for fun. Just as expensive, pleasurable, pets. Just for the joy of the thing.

And that is how hobby (activity done purely for pleasure) comes from hobby horse (small horse) possibly from obann (swift.) they’re very interesting and you should look all this up for yourself! because it sure sounds like Elodie doing a bit, doesn’t it?

Today, Irish Hobbies are functionally nonexistent. References for drawing include the Kerry Bog Pony, the Connemara, and (I personally think) Dartmoors and Exmoors. They’re said to have lent their speed to the Irish Hunter/Sport Horse and from there to the Thoroughbred, but every damn horse in the world claims relation to the Thoroughbred, and they can’t be THAT thoroughly bred.

At any rate - you can never have enough hobbies. Just be glad that yours aren’t expensive beasts with minds of their own, eating their heads off in the pasture! …Unless they are. In which case, you’re part of a proud tradition.

the thing here is like uh

what most posters *actually* believe in is neither voting nor firebombing but *posting*. the liberals don't believe in elections, they believe in posting. the communists don't believe in revolutions, they believe in posting. anarchists are a bit better but even most anarchists do not believe in direct action or mutual aid etc., they believe in posting. it's all fake like... 80% of the time.

for several weeks now this tweet has been causing wars on twitter

As a book fan now, it really is funny that Bilbo and Thorin are the most popular Tolkien ship by like a lot—because every single one of their book interactions is so hostile. Sam and Frodo are over here making garland crowns and pledging their ever undying fealty, and 70 years prior Bilbo dumped Thorin wet and half-dead out of a barrel was like "GET YOUR UNGRATEFUL ASS OUT OF THE MUD AND START KISSING MY HAIRY FEET!" and Thorin is like "Y-yeah. Okay. Fair."

LaDS men vs Orange Peel Theory

Xavier

• "Xavier, can you peel this orange for me?"

• "Of course!"

• No hesitation, all enthusiasm to do something for his babygirl. Very good boy.

Zayne

• You don't need to say anything, just place an orange next to him, nudge it in his direction and his muscle memory will take over and he'll peel it without even realising he's doing it.

• Reliable, locked in, responds without verbal prompt. Green flag king.

Sylus

• "Sylus, can you peel this orange for me?"

• "Sure. Do you need anything else? Are you hungry? I can call the chef or if you ask nicely, I'll make something myself."

• Not very good at the actual orange peeling part, compensates by going above and beyond. Attentive, happy to serve. Husband material.

Rafayel

• Uh... So here's the thing; if you catch him in the right mood and ask in the right way... Yeah, he'll do it!

• However, this man would debone a fish for you anytime. Which is exponentially harder??

• All in all, it's a win. He's just built different. Ocean diva exclusive.

Caleb

• LMAOOOOOO

• He literally cheated death for you, of course he'll peel your fucking orange.

• . . .

• The orange might have drugs in it though, so be careful.

• Least you could ask for, really, he'd do much, much worse bigger things for you. Easy peasy. 11/10.

Imagine going to your big piano recital that is supposed to get you into Yale, your parents don't show up, you have a breakdown on stage, you go home and find out that your mom attempted suicide, and then when you see her three weeks later she has forgotten you.
