Genre for all: Psychological thrillers and political dramas are all included when it comes to the diversity of genre in Indian thriller writers.

so u guys haven't seen the iconic boyliker image then?

c

so this European clothing retailer decided to advertise their jean cuts on youtube and it's unintentionally the funniest shit I've seen today. why? well.

now important context here: in German, die (pronounced 'dee') is just a feminine article, it literally means "the".

but if an ad gets placed in the middle of an English video and doesn't use a single explicitly German word for most of the ad, even a native speaker is gonna think "they want me to die how?" it keeps getting funnier.

I mean, holy shit

i will use these as reaction images until i die

https://ghost-of-bobby.tumblr.com/post/709113550900199424/so-lets-go-back-over-this-for-my-hate-readers-by the latest crazy from our very own Goob . There’s just no words

Ugh. I honestly feel like reading Goob posts could be used as a form of cruel and unusual punishment. To be as fair as it's possible to be, I think this is one of the more coherent ones? Still delusional batshit nonsense from beginning to end, but at least not pure word salad. There's A LOOOOOOT of crazy packed in there, though. To sum up and mock:

Don't believe what Jensen still says to this day, believe what I, random internet fuckwad, say I know he REALLY feels about D/C. [Insert brief fanfic about Jensen losing sleep because he wanted to make D/C real here.] Don't you get it, he was so torn up over it he moved to Colorado and grew that beard!!! Pandemic? Pshaw! Kripke asked him to for The Boys? You gullible fool! He was just that traumatized by the finale!!! See how I can try to make a few days of mulling it over sound like months of agonized despair by pulling more random words for being upset out of my ass?!? Pay attention to that, don't pay attention to how the actual Jensen who exists outside my head keeps saying over and over again how proud he is of SPN's ending.

Robbie was totally making a Cas spinoff because everyone knows the network was just desperately begging for one, so it's perfect because that obviously jives so well with a story about John & Mary that came to Jensen and Danneel by magic and now they're the same project!!! Arklgejk kajfld aklf s biakds dkajl!!!

JENSEN'S A HELLER, IT IS KNOWN!!! YOU LOST, I WIN!!!

[Insert another brief fanfic of conspiracy blather that there was a different Real D/C Scene suppressed by the network or Jared or somebody which is the fundamental basis of and reason for TW ... somehow.]

THIS IS REALITY!!!

Thanks, anon, I now feel dumber than I was five minutes ago.

valgrace except jason avoided leo for days after an argument. they’ve clashed violently and the entire camp could feel it almost as if a volcano erupted or electrical fires were sparked from anger and irritation. no one knows why they argued, what brought it. they didn’t even know leo and jason to fight with one another like that; like they couldn’t stand looking at each other.

but one evening just as the sun disappeared beneath the horizon and their part of the world was enveloped in darkness with only the moon as its source of light, they were finally in the same place.

neither of them spoke. how could they? it wasn’t something to immediately bounce back from. leo could still feel burns from a fire he didn’t know could touch him and jason still felt the aftershocks in his heart like he was revived to die all over again.

but jason—sweet and pure jason with recovered memories and no sense of identity or family but the ones he chose—broke the silence. and he asked, “am i making you feel sick?”

Okay so if I know you in real life, I apologize if I ever make you laugh because my brain will automatically assume you are laughing at something other than my joke so I will always respond with “hm?” before moving on. It may make the moment awkward so I’m sorrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy I’m just not used to people enjoying my company lol
