me then: why do all the songs on the radio have to be about love? It's so annoying, why is everyone so obsessed with love?

me now: oh.

Person A: I'll hit you with a chair.

Person B: There aren't any.

Person A: There's one up your ass.

Person B: I don't keep them there.

Person A: There's probably enough sticks up there to make one.

Incorrect CANON 501st Quotes

Hardcase: *holding a highlighter in his hand.*

Rex, nervous: Why do you have a highlighter?

Hardcase: I want to eat a highlighter so I can glow.

Rex, wide-eyed: ABSOLUTELY NOT!! THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS!!

Jesse: Yeah, dumbass. Eating a highlighter won't make you glow.

Rex, sighing: Thank y-

Jesse: You gotta eat a glow stick if you want to glow.

Rex: NO!!!

I actually had therapy today and I mentioned to my therapist that my comfort show (the bad batch) is ending tomorrow and they actually told me

“Well enjoy it, and remember that you can always rewatch it again and again”

So yeah my therapist is not helping me getting over them just making sure I’m even more obsessed with them, I knew I chose the right therapist :)

Me: So how come when Tobey has a crush on word-girl it's NO WHERE NEAR as creepy as when Marionette had a crush on Adrien in the earlier seasons? Despite the fact he's a super villain?

My sister: homophobia

......

BITCH HOW?

Apparently there was some kind of race scheduled at a local park or something so I've been trying to avoid the main trail but a little while ago when I had to cross near it I overheard the following shouted exchange

Higher feminine voice: woo, look at you go! You're jogging! Keep it up!

Lower masculine voice (panting): you know it! Last place is still a place, baby!

And goddamn if that didn't rewire my brain a little bit.

Last place is still a place, baby.

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Me: *walking into my sister's room at 3 am* I miss you

Her: we spoke an hour ago

Me: I still missed you

Her: I haven't left the house

Me: I know

Her: you can't miss me. Missing me means an absence.

Me: you were absent! I couldn't see you.

Me: I remembered you were here and wanted to see you. I missed you.

Her: no you didn't. Wrong emotion.

Me: wrong emotion?

Her: yep. Wrong emotion, try again.

Me: . . . Is is anxiety?

Her: close. That's part of it

Me: I wanted to see you.

Her: why? What were you feeling?

Me: *thinking really hard* mmmmmmissing? *she makes a face* no. Not missing.

Her: nope

Me: . . . Sad?

Her: try again

Her: starts with an L

Me: . . .

Me: lonely?

Her: there you go.

Me: emotions suck and I hate them

Her: I know

my dad's girlfriend- who is generally a conservative and who "doesn't really get into politics"- told me tonight that she learned about project 2025 & is going to vote in this election to try to help prevent Trump from getting into office. and that she's gonna try to convince my dad to vote (also for the first time ever) to do the same.

what I'm saying is I think we should keep talking about this.

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

you love simon. truly. playing games with him in your free time was your favorite pastime, especially when you knew he was getting deployed and wouldn’t have the chance to join you for an extended leave. there was only one tiny issue.

the man is competitive. no matter the game, no matter if you were a team or against one another, he’s slipping you teasing comments that you’re 90% aren’t fully teasing and actually hold a bit of honesty.

some of the games he plays with you weren’t supposed to be competitive. some are even simple customization games that you had to beg him to play with you so you could create each other’s characters. now that he is playing them, you have moments of restraint to not shove his head into the screen.

“your colors don’t match the theme, lovie.”

“shut up, simon.”

“yes ma’am.”

“i think you need to spend more time in an aim training.”

“are you saying my aim is bad, simon?”

“no, ma’am.”

“how many times are you going to miss the damn jump?”

“i’ll do it again if you don’t shut up, simon.”

“you’re doing amazing, lovie, keep it up.”

it was utterly infuriating. but when the times came for his long deployments and the house was quiet, no snarky quips being thrown from beside you on the couch, you longed for it.

to hear him trash your aim, or tease you for not being as good as him — it may seem like he’s mean to you from an outsider’s perspective, but to you, it’s his love language, and you desperately miss it.

so, you’ll take whatever tease he throws. you know it’s his way of saying ‘i love you’, even if you want to rage quit every time.
