I was once in a movie with this one dude named Brett. He was older, maybe in his 60s, and had this really long, bright-white hair. Right away, I got kind of a creepy vibe, but he was also playing kind of a creepy character, so it worked to his advantage and I figured he was just really well-cast in the role.

Anyway, so we’re on set on the VERY FIRST DAY OF SHOOTING, and we’re taking lunch with the whole cast and crew. This guy, who I have literally never spoken to before, starts up a conversation with me and asks if I have cats. I respond that, yes, I have two cats (I always like talking about them). He then gets this absolutely dead-serious look on his face, leans in close to me, and says in a low voice (and I quote):

“Now, I’m gonna ask you a question, and BE HONEST.

Have you ever… thought about lickin’ ‘em?”

Which, like. How does a person even respond to that? I sincerely doubt that SAG-AFTRA has protocols about what to do if someone on set asks their fellow cast member if they’d like to LICK THEIR CATS.

Fast-forward to another project that I ended up working on. It was a web series sitcom about a group of friends living in an apartment together, and dealing with their bizarre landlord (actually just referred to as “Landlord” in the script). The producers were having a really hard time casting this role, so we had shot everything that didn’t involve him first while they looked for someone to play the part. I was talking to the directors one day as they lamented the struggle of finding a Landlord, when they said something along the lines of, “and so-and-so guy couldn’t do it, and this other guy dropped out, and then BRETT dropped out—“

And immediately I was like, wait a minute,

…BRETT?

As it turns out, this dude had auditioned for the role of the creepy landlord. For the audition, the directors only asked for a quick self-tape of the actor saying a couple lines from the script. Brett sent them, with no explanation, A SIX-MINUTE LONG VIDEO of himself behaving exactly like the Landlord character, talking about his real-life cats, and then just staring directly into the camera and cackling. The directors were legitimately concerned because he actually seemed way too MUCH like the Landlord, but with limited options, they cast him in the role anyway. He ended up getting fired when he failed to show up for several of his call times, but a few lines in the final script were actually based on stuff he said in that initial audition video.

So. That would be my story.

I listened to reading of some askreddit threads (don't judge me, it's a guilty pleasure) about doctors and healthcare and I notices some major division on topics when the answers were from the doctor's POV and patients' POV. I'm of course not qualified to draw conclusions from this, nor is Reddit a good place to get data, but here are some recurring points I found where the doctor and patient position appeared to be different.

Doctor POV: we can always tell when people are faking pain for opioids. It's extremely obvious.

Patient POV: multiple doctors accused me of drug seeking when I was actually in agony from stones, appendicitis, endometriosis, a tumor, etc.

Doctor POV: people who try to diagnose themselves are really annoying and counter productive.

Patient POV: I only figured out what was wrong with me by searching the internet after multiple doctors dismissed or failed to diagnose me. Alternatively: I went in with a good idea of what was wrong based on past experiences/family history/ etc and the doctors didn't take me seriously. Some would even refuse to do tests to check if the self-diagnosis was correct.

Doctor POV: the phrase "I know my body" is usually used by people who don't know what they're talking about. We are the ones who know medicine so we can tell if you're sick or not.

Patient POV: I knew something was wrong with me because I know my body and know when something isn't normal. The doctors wouldn't take me seriously and told me nothing was wrong after only doing basic tests.

Again, Reddit is not a good place to get data as the nature of the website encourages people posting more sensational stories and exaggerating or fabricating stories to get upvotes. In addition, most of these stories are likely far from the average doctor and patient experience. However, it appears that there may (emphasis, may) be a disconnect between doctors and patients that involves doctors not taking patients seriously and thinking they know better than patients about their own bodies. It seems like defaulting to thinking patients exaggerate pain to seek drugs and that patients don't have any way of understanding their own health is really detrimental.

Do not take this post as me saying you shouldn't go to the doctor. If you need medical help, go to the doctor. The medical system isn't perfect, but it's the best we have. And go to an actual doctor, not a naturopath, homeopath, or other quack.

Wouldn’t playing with your wires be potentially dangerous?

Like don’t get me wrong. Stim toy fun. Stim toy good. But stim toy that potentially could cause arm paralysis or death? No bad. Maybe it’s because I see wires as robot veins.. but still-??

you have a point about all of this, and yeah, wanting to tug and rip at what powers my body is absolutely a terrible idea that will only result in pain and injury, but it's the thought of just even being able to confirm what's inside is in fact, not flesh. and to just look at internals in general. like. what if i could replace the exerior of wherre my ribs would be with glass and peer inside and watch so many things go by...

[Image description: a Reddit post which says "Okay so disclaimer I am a guy, but really cute story.

I inherited a bunch of china from my grandma who passed away. I had no china cabinet to store it in.

So I went on FB marketplace. This girl was giving away a gorgeous victorian style china cabinet she inherited from her grandmother, but she didn't have any china to store anything in it.

When I arrived we found out we both loved antiques, same age, both single, same college major. A few weeks later after she gave me her #, I texted her asking her out on a date, and our first date just happened to be on my birthday.

I guess you can say she owns the china cabinet again. Lol. My name is Ben. Her name is Heather. She's a microbiologist and I'm a wetlands scientist."]

Okay new Simon Riley AU but i need everyone to stick TF with me here

Retired!Reddit!Simon anyone????? NO BC HEAR ME OUT I PROMISE

Imagine Retired!Simon. his served for decades, in that time he meets reader, gets married, had kids, ect, ect, ect.

After he retires, his completely lost and out of his element. he cant work anymore due to his chronic back pain from year of service and integrating back into society permanently turns out is a lot harder then he originally anticipated.

he starts getting really, really depressed. Days start blending into each other and his three sons start to notice their dads is doing it really tough.

SOOOO they decided to make a reddit account for him. they make him join a bunch on military sub-reddits, maybe askreddit and things alike just so he can have something to do that isn't watching the football all day

he actually turns our to really, really like it. he can post all about this crazy military carrier, maybe even a little about this childhood (which he feels comfortable with because its all anonymous) and maybe even shares a little about his wife (reader) and three boys.

i can imagine after a while he starts gaining A LOT of popularity because holy shit his stories are so interesting and his lived such a crazy and inspiring life.

it becomes his way to connect with people that aren't just his wife and kids and he starts getting so much support from other people it really starts to boost his mood again.

i also imagine people start asking for dating advice and stuff from him because his always boasting about reader on his reddit. he kinda becomes an internet dad in some way 😭😭😭😭 like people genuinely trust him with their LIVES and i'm imaging some of his response are so fucking funny 😭😭😭😭😭

Maybe take it a step further and his sons create a youtube channel for him that he can make videos about this interests such as guns, car repairs, motorbikes, ect and the internet EATS THAT UP AS WELL bc absolutely massive hot ex SAS DILF that is obsessed with his wife and kids wearing a skin tight black tshirt and a balaclava while talking about this interests 😭😭 everyone loves him sm

like imagine his boys showing him tiktok edits of him and poor Si is so confused bc why is he watching himself get thirst trapped over on some strange app he had never heard of before 😭😭😭😭😭😭 his like 50 leave him ALONEEEEE

if this goes forward i plan to write a big chuck of it in a reddit sort of format almost like you were scrolling through the app and seeing him post. Readers would be Si's wife, so even though you would be reading the text in the third person, every time Si would mention his wife, he would be referring to you if that makes sense???????

idk please tell me if this is a little to niche 😭😭😭😭😭 am i cooked or a creative genius???? ill let you decided

Pidge and Lance reading Reddit stories:

Pidge: Wait, look at this one

Lance: Ok, ok— “My friend keeps trying to imitate the “I’m feeling romantical” meme when we meet up, and I feel very uncomfortable. What should I do?”

Pidge: Wait wait wait what’s the first reply?

*Lance scrolls to the first reply*

Hang up on your computer call, and come and kiss him on his hot mouth

OP: Noted.

*they burst into laughter*

Lance: What if it’s Keith?

Pidge: What?

Lance: Y’know, because you dared me to say that to him for a month?

Pidge: Good point. But that was half a year ago, and this post was just a week ago. So unless…

Lance: …

Pidge: Oh my fucking quiznak, how long have you been doing this?

Lance: I…haven’t stopped.

Pidge: LANCE?!

Lance: You still haven’t figured out if it’s Keith or not!

Pidge: It says here that…cryptids, other stuff, knife— ok, yeah, it’s definitely Keith.

Lance: Shit. I’m screwed.

Pidge: I thought you’d like that?

Lance: Go to hell.

*the sound of a key turning in a lock can be heard from where they are sitting, promptly scaring the shit out of them*

Pidge: I guess we have to find out. *pushes Lance to the door*

Lance: WAITWAIT NO—

*the door opens, revealing none other than Keith.*

Keith: Huh?

Lance: I’m feeling romantical—

Keith: Shit. *kisses him straight on the lips*

Lance: *pulls away* So it was you!

Keith: What?

Lance: The askReddit??? Red_The—

Keith: Oh. OH! You saw that!?

Lance: YEAH I DID?? WHY DID YOU EVEN LISTEN TO THAT PERSON’S ADVICE??

Keith: MAYBE BECAUSE I WANTED TO KISS YOU??

Pidge: What?

Lance: What??

Keith: What???

*the two stare into each other’s eyes longingly, before they crash together and make increasingly more graphic sounds as Pidge just watches in a state of pure horror*

Pidge: Why the fuck did we even get chosen to be Voltron Paladins?

Based on [this] r/AskReddit story.

[inbabylontheywept]

I don't know if you ever spent time on AskReddit, but there was this one redditor named "Ramses the Pigeon" (u/RamsesthePigeon) who always wrote high-quality stuff and got consistent upvotes. And every time I saw one of the guy's posts, I was hit with flashbacks that this guy was also the writer of several super-popular posts that either broke containment from Reddit or (in the case of a comic called "Spoon Thing" about making a spoon from ore, that I can't find) were made on another site entirely.

Anyway, I scroll the Popular Reblogs and For You pages a lot and am consistently surprised how, now that I follow you and remember your username, a bunch of super-high-note/memorable reblog chains have you in them. And for some reason I've mentally placed you in the same category as Ramses.

Anyway anyway, thanks for all the fiction you write and the humorous/deep nonfiction you write. It's always a good pick-me-up.

I think the only 2 communities on reddit I ever really dove into were the ExMo one, and HFY. In that order. I think my character arc from age 18 to 28 has just been getting less and less bitter, which is - funny? Doesn't normally happen that way.

People are good.

Anyway, never heard of RamsesThePigeon, but I actually googled him from this, and he is a fascinating person. I appreciate you sharing your wealth of neat internet people.

And thank you for reading. My writing is kind of all over the place. The people that like my weird stories about cross country have only some weird overlap with the people that like my weird stories about eggs, which has waaaay less overlap with the people that like my science fiction, and basically none with the people that like my sphynx romance. To say nothing of my tech essays.

You are one a very, very small number of people that threaded the needle in the overlap between all those groups. And I am glad we met.

[official-graveyard-posts]

I’ve sworn off ever returning to Reddit, so this story ends in 2021. Maybe the subreddit is still up, but I’ve never checked. Anyway, the story:

One time in 2018 I came across an AskReddit thread where someone said something like “I forgot to take the turkey out of the freezer” and others asked, jokingly, if they were even alive anymore. No answer. Someone then responded “another one on the pile in r/OPded” and created the subreddit, linking back to that comment.

I then joined and modded the subreddit, linking a bunch of posts where someone made a comment, others made the joke that they died, and the original poster never returned to that specific thread to “confirm they survived.” It was a rare enough occurrence that I expanded criteria to other websites, like Youtube.

The sub remained extremely small until I left Reddit. So, it’s kind of gratifying to see a similar concept here on Tumblr have so much traction.

Thanks for your posts. Hope you’re having a good day.

Thank you! I'm glad people are enjoying this blog concept so much.
