i haven't found january particularly long but also only dimly remember a time when it was not january

[beetledrink]

i think it’s fine that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice wasn’t for everyone because it was for me specifically

and what if I said Penelope Douglas’ obsession with inculcating group sex scenes (threesomes, orgies, bjs and action between characters uncalled for) as a ‘metaphor for emotional intimacy and vulnerability’ in her books needs to stop because, and I ain’t even a prude but, it’s unnecessary, ineffective, stale, icky, and just ugly vibes in general, cause there’s a gazillion diff ways you can highlight the bond between your characters save dicks in pussys, just what the fuck honestly.

what then.

i swear I can feel my bones crumbling to dust every time I'm reminded how young The Owl House fandom is lmao. Which is fine, obviously; it's a kid's cartoon. But I see posts with Raine and Eda tagged as senior citizens and have read fics where their physical condition reads as practically geriatric.

Y'all, after the time skip, they're like, late forties max. CALM DOWN.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the last scene in chapter 7 of @maxrowave's cesdoc fic reminded me of this. So I had to draw it

god tua fucked up by not having s2 be the 7 back in their childhood. i could literally picture crystal clear how it would work: they'd all be in their adult bodies when we're watching from their perspective then an outsider would enter the room and it would reveal they're children

[preciouspatriots]

now wtf is going on over on that firefighter show? bc this scene exists and you’re telling me buddie isn’t canon? like i’m stunned.

Ooooh desk that doesn't wobble

i think we as a society need to stop using the term “minor” in a non-legal setting because i really just saw someone say “how are you a minor letting your mom make meals for you??”

you mean a child? are you asking a child why their mom cooks?

Oliver, watching The Little Mermaid 2: Wow, that dog is old. Kaz: Oh, yeah, huh. Chase: Well, dogs live about 10-13 human years. Kaz: Oh, shit, that dog's gonna die soon. Oliver: Well, I was just thinking about Sebastian. Kaz: Well, y'know, turtles-- Nope Oliver: Turtles??? Kaz, laughing: As soon as it came out of my mouth... I knew I was wrong... like... Sebastian's not a turtle you dumb fuck! Oliver: Are you okay right now? Kaz: What I meant to say was 'lobsters.' Lobsters live a long time. Chase: Oliver: Chase: Sebastian is a crab. Kaz: Kaz: Ohhhh, yeahhhh!

I might be too AroAce for this, but why is it that whenever I see stuff about someone cheating on their partner, fictional or otherwise, it’s always more focused on the fact they had sex with (and/or dated) someone else and not that they lied to their partner?

Like I said, I’m way too Ace to understand why sex is a big deal, but lying is bad for any sort of relationship.

You can cheat in a friendship; if your friend explicitly states they don’t want you to hang out with a certain person, and you go behind their back to hang out with that person, that’s cheating.

People don’t care about their friendships enough to see it that way, but it’s essentially the same; you’re breaking the trust in your relationship with someone by purposefully lying, manipulating and/or gaslighting them to go against an established boundary in the relationship.

friendships just don’t get the same level of respect that romantic and/or sexual relationships get, so it’s okay to “cheat” in friendships. (boundaries are also not always discussed enough in friendships, so there’s a bit more leeway in “cheating”)

The betrayal is the lies and deception, not the actual act of sleeping with someone else, but I tend to see people get way more worked up about the act and not the effort they took to do it.

Also, this is a side tangent, but why do they say anyone who cheats is a horrible person, but it’s the plot of several romances? Every Hallmark movie about the city girl with her boring boyfriend who falls in love with the hometown hunk, and kisses him at some point before breaking it off with the boyfriend, that’s cheating. But it’s ok, because it’s “true love.”

Like, if you’re not in love/attracted to your partner anymore, don’t cheat on them; maybe try and communicate with them, and if you’re no longer right for each other, break off the relationship.

But also, if you’re in an abusive relationship, and cannot safely break off the relationship, absolutely do what you need to do to stay safe, and if that includes “cheating” go ahead.

I’m not saying cheating��s ok, but I also understand certain reasons why someone might. I don’t know, I’m just saying it’s a weird double standard.

I don’t know, I think I was going somewhere with this, but now I forgot. Anyways, in conclusion, I don’t understand why people care about sex and romance, and cheating is, in my opinion, more nuanced than, I think, people give it credit.

does anyone else find the story of cain and abel tragic not just for abel, but for cain as well?

i mean, they were brothers, they grew up hand in hand. tiller and shepherd. one raises life out of the dirt, the other puts the life back into it. they loved each other, so much that abel died, so much that cain killed him.

abel was a tragedy of a child prodigy, the golden child. he was favored chosen again and again, to the point where he was killed. he was as innocent as the livestock he sacrificed. a shepherd into the lamb. he never meant to be, he loved his brother. he loved his brother when they were kids, he loved his brother when they were offering to god, he loved his brother when he followed him into the field, he loved his brother even as he died.

cain was a tragedy of a child pushed aside. how many times had he noticed his brother getting favored? did he know he was undesired, that his effort would never be enough? cain didnt know about murder, it wasnt a thing. did he know how abel choses his sacrifices? did he see how he took the prettiest, most well kept lamb of the flock and took it to god? did he see how god favored the crimson from the lamb more than the gold of his wheat? did he lay abel out as a sacrifice? hoping that in the crimson of his brother, so perfect and good like the lambs he offers, cain would finally be enough?

having mutuals on tumblr is actually treating me better than having an irl friend group ever did
