I'm sorry but no Pixar movie will ever live up to the best one. a hot shot entirely arrogant and egotistical yet ultimately lonely young guy lands up in the middle of a small town before a big race, and having destroyed it's road by accident is now forced to rebuild it? slaps. he meets a beautiful woman who won't take any of his bullshit? wonderful. he realises the old grandpa is a washed up hero that people turned their back on after he came back from an injury, now residing amongst people who love and care for him and he thinks the guy will ruin the town he lives in? dear god I am in love. the young-un meets someone of a sort he once looked down on and they have fun together, and he finally finds a best friend? I will cry. the hotshot falls in love with the town, the town that has long since left the public eye, and the grandpa shows him how self-centred he's been his entire life? please I'm crumbling. the rockstar helps everyone in town, makes them all feel loved and heard and finally feels at home before the paparazzi find him and drag him to his competition, the door closing on his found family just as he's connected with them, all apparently because the grandpa gave them a call? I'm furious! him losing focus at the competition only to hear the grandpa in his headset and go “yeah yeah it's just - wait WHAT” and find that they all came to watch and the grandpa is his coach now all because the best friend didn't get to say goodbye? god I'm squealing with joy! the old dude in his last race ends up in an accident and this boy stops in his tracks, remembers how his coach was disgraced the same way and helps push him to the finish line? I am sobbing. “there's more to racing than just winning” same line as the start, but where earlier it was to impress the camera, this time it's from the bottom of the heart. banging my fists on the table “you got a lot of stuff kid” the grandpa says to the boy, pride, forgiveness and acceptance mingle as I begin to wail. the new racing headquarters will be built in the town, it's back on the map. I am hopping up and down out of sheer jubilation. oh and they're all cars btw. what more do you want?

life is meaningless and it sucks → life is meaningless and it's freeing → life is meaningless so I invent my own meaning pipeline gang rise up

is waking up and choosing to be kind and fighting tooth and nail to salvage some part of your sense of wonder worth writing about or?

deodorant, saviour of all

I'm not sure what to tell you

im not sure where to go

every time you walk by

the stench leaves me going "oh!"

you have body odour!

body odour!

not level one, or two, but four!

out of five, yes five, I abhore

your allergy to showers

why, sir why, must a gnome like you

not brush your teeth, why refuse?

yes I understand you're tired

and things can be pretty shitty

I understand it's a chore and you're wired

you have better things to do, don't you mr gnome? pity!

oh the women gnomes would dance during spring

but you are stinky and embarrassed

oh, you poor thing!

here, try this, it's the solution

it's revolution

it's called deodorant :0

yes it's a re-odorant

pleasant fumes

simple tunes

simple days

dances in the freshly dappled sun!

oh deodorant, yes deodorant, you're the true magical love potion

for you are the one

who let's gnome, ("stinky gnome?" "no fragrant gnome, rebranded now haven't you heard?") have fun!

oh deodorant, yes deodorant I love you so!

I love you, I love your wife perfume and your son cologne!

oh deodorant, dear deodorant, goodness me!

won't you stay a little longer, have some tea?

deodorant stick deodorant spray

deodorant, you light up my days!

you are how I landed a girlfriend once

and how I'm not a complete dunce

you uplifted Mr gnome

you feel like coming home

with you we can roam!

sail the seven seas,

see the flowers and the bees

you're like the period ads on tv!

oh deodorant, yes deodorant,

could you and your entire family

spend the rest of your lives with me?

yippee!

there are some things that make me feel super uncultured, including:

• not knowing anything about anime

• not having read enough desi comics (including going “huh?” when people mention super commando dhruva or suppandi or something)

• not understanding elaborate poetry (recently picked up a second hand college poetry collection and I don't understand anything ;-;)

• not getting certain pop culture references

• not knowing my meme history

• not knowing enough weird facts (never have enough of these)

I shall work on all of these starting today (or tomorrow), and I'll tag it all as #aalu's cultural assimilation

helloooo

how was your day :)

hii

day was/is shit, periods gave me mood swings and everything is making me cry :(, got into a fight with brother and mom and mom is stressed so she got irritated at me again after I apologised, feeling a bit like I have so many problems ki if I erase all of them toh personality ke taur par kuch bachega hi nhi smh

papa manane aagaye but honestly I'm just down today, india women lost the asia cup and from there the day just got worse and worse (cried in public too)

anyway, at least I took my meds and feel a bit better now + will probably sleep early tonight (tumhara 1:30 am phir bhi hojayega)

wbu how was ur day?

[ad15124]

hey, america. wtf?

[ad15124]

sometimes i read poetry and it's like wow I am changed as a person this is profound and I must share this with everyone. other times I'm thinking what do you mean death is a precious flower wilting within the living?!
