#what a weird thing to say

[plaguedocboi]

so is there a reason you added a random ass comment about squid on a video that was clearly of an octopus or did you just want to look smart and like you know shit. cuz you looked like a moron

… because the person said that a new fear of theirs is being dragged into the water by an octopus and it reminded me that some species of squid have been known to do that. And this is tumblr, the website where people reblog things and add their own comments.

I wish you didn't wine so much about having epilepsy

I wish I didn't have epilepsy, so I guess you have to see me bitching about it or block me.

I think Pedro pascal is gay

I have never once considered the man’s sexuality because I don’t care. I mean even if he is, who gives a shit?

He’s still a fantastic actor. And he’s still fine as hell.

@/petrovniaalex says "Hey friends. It's important that you understand this.

If someone says something bigoted around you; it is a social test. They are seeing how much resistance they will get (especially from those they consider a peer) for their viewpoint. They are also feeling out whether you are one of their in-group.

Discomfort is not a condemnation. Silence is not a condemnation. Walking away is not a condemnation.

It is complicity. And it teaches bigots that there won't be consequences for their bigotry."

@/Hypersarahgx replies "Don't be quiet AND don't be subtle. Add the phrase 'That sounds like some weird Nazi shit.' to your vocabulary immediately."

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

Its wild people can just say things. The other day, a person I had just met saw me writing. I write in cursive, and they just unpromted; "So you fell for that cult"

I reminded them that writing styles are not cults

is this nonbinary person actually "male presenting", or did you just decide that based on your arbitrary idea of maleness?

is this nonbinary person actually "female presenting", or did you just decide that based on your arbitrary idea of femaleness?

perhaps they're just "presenting" as themselves and your binary biases are clouding your judgement?

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.
