#embarrassing moment

Why you should do your research on cultures that’s not your own.

For about two months I have been seeing this scarf in the window of a second hand store and I recognize it as a keffiyah, a Palestinian piece of clothing. You have probably seen them many times on the news. For context, this keffiyah was white and red. Why does that matter? You will find out soon enough.

So after asking the clerk if the scarf was for sale and she said yes, I bought and took it home(and put it in the freezer to kill off any fleas that might have been on it). Then I looked at one of the videos I had reblogged on the keffiyah and I thought “Why haven’t I seen many white and red keffiyah among the white and black ones?” So I looked up keffiyah on the internet and read that the black ones were more associated with the Palestinian movement while the red ones…could kinda be associated with hamas.

The rules about the colors are pretty loose from what I understand, but I’m still embarrassed about not doing my research on the clothing before buying one for myself. I really hope that I can get the Palestinian flag sown into the fabric of the scarf to hopefully rectify my mistake😓 Maybe just try to find a black one with the fish net pattern in future.

Edit: I know that Palestinians are not the only ones who wears keffiyah, I thought that they came in different colors, that’s all. Feel kinda stupid for forgetting that colors have different meanings in different places. I study cultures, I should have known better.

Edit: check latest reblog.

A rite of passage is embarrassing yourself trying to do a somersault after not doing one in years thinking it’ll be easy

[rosielindy]



I went out to lunch with some coworkers at Bucca di Beppo in downtown Indy yesterday and blurted out something about seeing the men’s room many years ago. Adding that to the list of things to not tell people I don’t know all that well. I explained it was a pre-marathon dinner and our coach was the one who insisted we go in to see this light switch. I was informed that this light switch is no longer there. I need to learn when to stop talking. 😂

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE TELL ME THAT IT IS OKAY THAT YOUR DRESS BLEW UP, AND IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, AND THAT I SHOULDN'T BE CRYING RIGHT NOW... i litterally felt so embarrassed !!!

[your-local-whisp]

I give up on life.

I can’t stop thinking about an embarrassing moment that happened like two minutes ago. Why did I fucking stutter. I think I’m just gonna stop talking until I’m 100% sure I know what the conversation is about.

It wasn’t bad for other people watching but for me I wish to move to a forest deserted entirely by all humanoid life forms and cut all connections to the outside work and become a hermit who travels occasionally when I hear loud noises I don’t like.

Anyways how is everyone else’s day going cause mine sucks.

heartless?

[fireflykittyhatesusernames]

You know when you say a full speech to someone thinking they’re in the room but they’re not and you have to pause. That’s really embarrassing even though no one judges you for it

My most embarrassing moment?

... Oh god, buckle up.

So my dad was getting work done on the car, but I didn't know this. I've got 3 siblings, my younger ones and I were watching TV in the living room and the oldest had been holed up for over an hour in the 2nd/Kids bathroom. The door locked and they told me to fuck off when I knocked begging to let me use the toilet. My parents had been AWAL since I woke up. I knocked on their door hoping to use the master bath but there was no answer. I asked my younger siblings if they had gone to the store since they usually locked their bedroom door when they went out (my oldest siblings a damn theif) and they shrugged and said Probably?

So. First bathrooms a no go. 2nd bathrooms locked up. I look out the window, and theres no car. The countdown to massive bladder failure is on, and I refuse to take a piss outside (again). So I go around to the side of the yard with my parents bedroom window. It's an old house and the windows slide up and down easy, but you gotta be careful because if you don't have something to hold them they slam shut.

So there I am halfway into their bedroom window, carefully navigating the slider, when I hear a noise. I look up and there are my parents. Everybody freezes. Time freezes. I see things that cannot be unseen. Then suddenly time restarts and everyone is yelling. I scramble backward, loose grip and the window slams shut right on me and I'm STUCK. my parents don't help... which thank God, they didn't. I flail my teenage body like I've never flailed before, wedge myself free, the chair I'm on tips backwards and I fall backward onto the side fence.

I stare at the house in shock for a few seconds, then go take a piss behind the shed. I walk back in the house to see my oldest sibling on the couch with the others, hair still wrapped up in a towel. They took one look at me, brushed off my disheveled state, and told me the bathroom was open.

And no. Me and my parents never talked about it. I guess mutual scarage took place that day, so I never got in trouble.

Is lanterns event is the shortest right? We dont even have the perfect or grim, only Riddle Jack Kalim and Deuce. Whole event it just Riddle character development in Tangle theme. Also prove that miss roseheart is suck and Riddle is ready to free.

it was one of the shorter ones, yeah! (if you don't count, like, Master Chef or the other ones that aren't really story-based.) I thought it was super cute though! :> especially given how we were in the Halloween + main story gauntlet for a while there, it was a nice easy little breather. honestly I think it was mostly about just seeing everyone come together to make fun of them help our boys be the prettiest tower princesses of all. 💐 (if for some reason this involves Jade refusing to take off the deer mask, so be it)

(and, you know, we finally got a knitting scene, so of course I'm happy)

Danny Phantom Zombie Apocalypse x Corpse AU

Basically, when the Ghost-zombie apocalypse happens thanks to a ghost virus, Danny gets infected. He “dies” again, so the most obvious course of action is for Phantom to possess Zombie!Fenton and try to pass off as human.

He can only use his extremely helpful ghost abilities if he discorporates, leaving zombie!Danny to the mercy of his enviorment. Otherwise, he has to use his corpse to try and blend in with other survivors.

He also has to hide the fact that he is a carrier of the disease(He can’t share water bottles, have much physical contact, or bleed on them), he no longer eats much, bleeds ectoplasm, and other zombies are disinterested in him. *Note, Phantom wouldn’t spread the disease, only Fenton’s body is infected. If he wants physical contact, he has to trust the other person with his secret.

Zombie!Fenton doesn’t have much interest in eating brains, as the ectoplasm Phantom produces fuels him. So, he’s basically a goldfish that just moves around aimlessly.

Without his human half, Phantom is also more limited in how much he can interact with the real world. He has to tug his human half around on one of those kiddie backpack leashes to ensure he doesn’t accidentally lose his body. He doesn’t have the strength to pick him up and carry him around. He can /maybe/ phase another person through a door.

Good thing Zombie!Fenton is very easily distracted and can occasionally be convinced to sleep.

–

World-building time!

Amity Park was ground zero for the virus, which was a mild infection that ghosts could get. However, once spread to humans, the virus ate the naturally occurring ectoplasm in the human’s brains, leaving them brainless aggressive monsters. (Think the possessed hot dogs from The Fenton’s fridge)

The Ectoplasm keeps the human parts together until eventually all the human flesh is entirely absorbed by the ectoplasm and all that remains is a ghost-monster thing. (this process takes at least a year).

The number one most effective way to kill a zombie is ecto-weapons, a good bashing to the skull can take them out for a while, but some might recover. .

Phantom is ~extra~ despised because most people believe the virus spread due to ghosts like him interacting with humans. The cause of the infection would be much angstier if it was a result of humans (The Fentons, GIW, Vlad) fucking around and finding out

Both Phantom and Danny no longer age. Danny’s human body doesn’t heal wounds unless you count glowing ectoplasm stitching his skin back together as healing. He also has a glowing green and sluggishly bleeding bite mark he constantly has to worry about.

When Phantom is possessing Zombie!Danny he is easily passable as a human, he just has to cover any features that show he’s no longer, like, alive.

One of Danny’s goals is to find a cure. However, he is not exactly… smart, but knows a lot about ectoplasm. He’s convinced if he finds a group of survivors with the right equipment that they mutually trust, they can find cure or vaccine together. His parents died/disappeared too early to finish one.

Anyway, the angst and the shenanigans potential are endless. Bonus points to anyone who can incorporate DP x DC into there.
