when you and your friends run a simulation for homework and the simulation ends up looking like a dead bird so now that becomes the dp on your group chat and you change the name to "academic dead birds"

The eye of the storm is the few hours I spend at home until I'm thrust back into the seemingly endless storm (college)

Bonus: the cars, trees and houses that hit me along the way add extra spice

I just wanna come home after a long day at work and cook dinner for myself that's not just frozen pizza and watch 2 episodes of Bones instead of 1 and go to bed on time without having it ruin my week because I should have spent the time studying or at least doing things from my to do list like is that too much to ask

this summer is very much going to be a hiatus for me, as shown by my utter lack of posting and interacting for a month. i didn’t want it to be but this dissertation is keeping me busier than i thought it would so i don’t really have time to play sims or make posts. i am gonna be more active though in terms of interacting with other simblrs and text posts.

I hate the phrase 'the title should do more'.

Like, no?? The title is supposed to tell you what's going on in the poem?? It's not supposed to fucking carry the thing??

Fucking uni man.

I just came out of my exam and it was the forst time I used up all the given time for answering and the case we had to solve was so horribly difficult like what do you mean Verfassungswidriges Bodenversiegelungsverbot einer Stadtgemeinde ??????? Just kill me now I know I failed

I want everybody who’s calling Ken a Trophy Husband to know that he’s actually a Trophy Boyfriend, because when Ruth Handler invented Ken in the 1960s, she was adamant that he would never marry her and instead be her “handsome steady”, so that Barbie remained a figure of independence for the little girls and was never put in the position of housewife.

Her house is hers. She bought it and furnished it with money she made in her own job. In STEM, in politics, in healthcare, in fashion, in academy, in customer service. Her credit card is in her name (women in the US couldn’t have their own regardless of marital status until 1974). And it’s all pink and fashionable because femininity and badassness aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter who you are, you can be anything.

That’s why Barbie’s slogan is “you can be anything”. Teaching these ideals to little girls is why Barbie was created. Empowering women and empowering femininity is the original meaning of the Barbie doll. It’s not that you have to be all this to be a woman, but if you are all or some of this, you too are awesome.

And somehow pop culture deliberately changed that narrative. Sexualised, bimbofied, and villainised her, when she actually isn’t responsible for the impossible beauty standards — people are, she’s just a stylised, not-to-scale toy like most others.

Men are frothing because he’s just Ken and I guess they were expecting her to be just Barbie, but that’s exactly what Ken is. Canonically. A badass woman’s himbo boyfriend.

This movie has the potential to radically change the way we collectively see Barbie into what Ruth Handler originally intended, I’m so very excited

Anxiety is so weird. Can't believe I have to tell my own brain that low-key introducing myself to new classmates through the group chat is not dangerous to my continuous existence in this planet 🤠

Woo, actually finding the braincell for writing! We love that.

(Why are words so mean.

Also why are tenses such a problem, just let me write this thing in past tense, brain-)

Eldritch/not-entirely-human Grunkle Stan stories have been eating away at my brain, so I have a silly little concept of Mimic!Stan.

He and his Mystery Shack are both mimics that lure tourists in as a literal "tourist trap" to gather and devour them! Since the house is alive, it raises a few (read: several) child safety concerns that lead to a LOT of rules to be created for Dipper and Mabel to follow when they eventually arrive, such as:

Be careful not to get lost in the winding hallways! The Mystery Shack is bigger on the inside, and you don't want to end up in the wrong areas.

Don't go through randomly appearing doors, they may eat you.

If you think you feel the walls around you breathing and the floor beneath you shifting, no, you don't.

If you think the walls feel a bit damp, you're imagining it.

Watch your fingers around windowsills! You wouldn't want to lose any of them.

Don't linger too long under the doorframes; it may start feeling like they are slowly constricting around you.
