Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

#vulcans #I don't think all Vulcans dress the same and headcanon that there's a buunch of different styles on Vulcan #BUT I DO think that older middle aged men flock together regardless of species #and that it's funny that Vulcan has like The Vulcan Hair[tm] - why'd they do that to themselves HEHEHE you're lucky your dad's telepathic #I really wanna see fashion subcultures for other plaaaanets in star trek #I wanna see Klingon Goth #I wanna see fashion styles specific to that species because of that species' culture #like how we have niche niche fashion trends #the other day I thought about it being Vulcan counterculture to do your makeup as if you've been crying #popular with teens but adults do NOT like it

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

#i know we are all neurodivergent and executive disfunction and routine disruption is kicking our ass and it's hard. but you have to.#and i dont even mean like. travel to another country i mean #take the other bus home #or buy a different tea brand #YOUR BRAIN IS A MUSCLE EXERCISE IT.

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

#will wood #sp-rambles #For people wondering this is entirely about people being mean to the only music artist ever (Will Wood) on Twitter #Like obviously of course it's also about how people will degrade and twist jokes into being homophobic and ableist #by generalizing and making it out like people who listen to stuff they don't like are autistic and gay and whatever other slur applicable #Twitter is a cesspool though idk what's any different #Anywho still listen to Will Wood my beloved please please pleaseeee

thinking about ford "human blood tastes better" pines

ford "i have been desiring blood more than usual" pines

stanford "was bitten by a fruit bat but still wrote the sentence 'i have been desiring blood more than usual'" pines

#gravity falls #ford pines #stanford pines #what is WRONG with him jfkdlsjklsa #he and bill really WERE made for each other. lord alive man.#ford how many different types of blood have you definitely not sampled to have a distinct ranking in which human blood is the best #ford you wrote this BEFORE you went insane. ford.#this was you at your normalest. comparatively speaking.

au where everything is the same except mabel and dipper have been going to gravity falls every year before the show takes place since like kindergarten.

its a pretty simple premise that derives mostly from my desire to explore interpersonal relationships and the ways a place and people can change from a young child’s point of view. it doesn’t change canon that much either, admittedly, i just wanted to draw childhood friends stuff LOL. ill call it uhhhhhhhh every summer au.

#gravity falls #stanley pines #dipper pines #mabel pines #stan pines #grenda grendinator #candy chiu #pacifica northwest #gabuart #pacifica eventually stops being their friend and it makes mabel really sad but it just makes dipper really angry #gestures vaguely #people change. relationships change. every summer becomes a shadow of the last summer #gravity falls is the same but the people within it become more different every time we come #growing up is difficult #and frustrating #nothing makes sense #but at least we have each other #everything is going to be okay #every summer au

What was that you said about memory? "A monster," was it?

#iwtvedit #iwtv #interview with the vampire #louis de pointe du lac #armand #lestat de lioncourt #daniel molloy #anyway obviously these are at different periods and contexts in their lives but nonetheless #i'm fascinated by the different versions of characters we see filtered through who is telling the story at that moment #how they remember themselves and how they remember others #and the gaps in this set are just as interesting! season 3 maybe i can do a follow up #how does lestat see himself. how does he see armand or louis #how would daniel see him? etc

Dick: You use to be so cute and tiny..

Jason: And you use to be cool. We both changed.

Dick: Wha-?! I'm still cool!!

Jason: Okay, 'officer Grayson'. Cops aren't cool.

Dick: THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO

Jason: STILL FRESH IN MY MIND, PIG!

Dick: LET IT GO!

Jason: NO. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAID FUCK THE POLICE! THOSE WERE WORDS I LIVED BY!

Dick: OH MY GOD. YOURE THE ONLY ONE THAT STILL REMEMBERS THAT!

Tim, walking into the living room: I remember it.

Duke, from another room: I heard about it! You've lost 1000 aura man!

Cassandra, poking her head in: I've also heard about it.

Dick: EVERYONE SHUT UP.

Jason: Just like a cop to order people around like that, shameless.

Dick, groans: Fuuuuck-!

Dick: All of you are going to make me age like milk!

Damian, popping up behind him: Is it wrong to say it's too late for that?

Dick, practically shaking: Damian..I swear to God.

#j.p speaks #another convo #batfamily #incorrect batfamily quotes #dick grayson #jason todd #damian wayne #duke thomas #ugh theres so..many- fuck #its their privilege and right to piss Dick off #dick around others: *cool and collected*#dick around his family: *close to shipping them all to a different country (lovingly)*#imagine being an only child now all you have is siblings id crash out 😮‍💨

I love the idea of all the robins kinda being clones of each other with just a few differences and a concussed Bruce not being able to tell who he’s squinting at so he just says generic statements and avoids saying any names

Bruce (sitting at the breakfast table): so… how’s the weather… dick?

Jason (grinning): you do know I’m gonna hold this against you for like, the next 2 months right

Bruce: (groans into his hands)

Bruce (walking into the living room): hey have you read through the files I gave you yesterday?

Dick: (confused cause he took a day off to surprise Bruce) ?

Bruce: so?

Dick: er… no?

Bruce: Dick?? What are you doing here?

Bruce (walks into the kitchen with a fresh concussion): Jason? I thought you were on a mission with the outlaws?

Tim: (frozen through mid fridge raid, having assumed they were past Bruce calling him Jason since yk. He’s a shit brickhouse now and Tim is, well, obviously not): uh?

Bruce: *turns around and leaves*

Bruce: Oh hey Cass, when did you arrive from Babs’?

Damian: (slowly turns around in the black hoodie he’s wearing) we’re not even the same gender

Bruce: (under his breath) yeah but the same height

when will we talk about the willful helplessness epidemic on here. So many people on this god forsaken website demand to have any and all things that exist outside their personal experiences directly, personally pre-chewed and spoonfed to them. And when you do, they'll then ask for you to swallow for them, too, because, you see, in THEIR experience..,

#this is about people who show up in the replies asking shit that has already been answered in the replies #this is about people who show up in reblogs asking people to explain very obvious things to them that'd take one second of listening to #others' experiences to be aware of #For the love of god if you're presented with information or turns of ohrase that conflict with your personal experience don't just sit down #Consider that perhaps things unlike you exist and that things that are one way for you may be different for others #This isn't difficult you just need to stop centering yourself as the only point of reference you have #you're not. There is so much more than you out there. And you can hold it and know it #you just need to get the FUCK OVER YOURSELF #fucking christ #mumblr #problemnyatic thoughts

The squad of all time has arrived on scene.

#dungeon meshi #mithrun #Cithis Ofri #Pattadol #Fleki #Lycion #Otta #Happy Canary Debut Day! These guys wont really get to be very present until the next season of Dungeon Meshi #But I can still be excited to see them animated!!!#Shout out to Pattadol - I also tend to occupy 'The Punchline' niche of the friendgroup.#The punchline differs from 'The Jester' who willingly absorbs the jokes. The punchline is often unwillingly the joke.#You are either the one no one likes or the well beloved little-sibiling-esque friend. Good luck figuring out which!#Yes it is canon that Otta is into Women. YES she dates younger women and dumps them when they age.#This isn't a fan made bit. It's real.#Dungeon Meshi has no romance but it does have canonically queer characters.#Shipping is fine and all but it is a running theme in the series than *everyone* who expresses romantic interest in someone -#-finds that love unrequited. Just something to be mindful of to measure your expectations of this series!#Ah! In other housekeeping notes; I'm going to *try* and add Alt Text to my dungeon meshi thurday posts going forwards.#I might not be able to do it day of but I will try to get it done within a week.
