Love it when a character is like “I can tell you’re trying to smooth talk me and I’m fully aware you’re trying to manipulate me but it’s working. Keep complimenting me.”
I made all the proper calculations… The dual camera, the separated flash, the fingerprint scanner!! Even the holo type backglass! My deduction was perfect-
Wh-what?!?!
The… the color..!! Whats going on here? You mean its not a trick of the light, but a gradient design?! Such an obvious tell, and I missed it?! No, that… thats impossible!!!
This can’t be!!! I’ll be ruined!! MY REPUTATION AS A GIMMICK BLOG!!! NO!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

creature in fiction: *is portrayed as bad and mean*
8 year old me: but what if there was a good and nice one :0
there’s no age limit for this
youre right…………..
me at 8: but what if you gave it a hug?
me at 31: but what if you gave it a hug?
The neurodivergent reaction to bad and mean creatures: but what if someone loved this unlovable thing? Maybe it would be possible for me, also a strange and burdensome and unlovable thing, to be loved as well?
If you have achieved something, please remember to observe a mandatory period of basking in the warm glow of your achievement like a lizard on a stone, lest you teach your brain that effort is futile, actually, because it didn’t get to enjoy its happy chemicals, so, naturally, nothing good ever comes of trying. (And no, avoiding punishment is not a reward!)
I recommend, like, 5% of basking time in relation to whatever time you invested into achieving the thing minimum. And if you can’t make your own bask, friend-brought is fine (= tell your friends!).
Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say “the ten hells” or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn’t even go onto him, that’s how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard “power word:scrunch” two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated
Promethean task: opposite of a Cassandraean task. You have the right information, and SOMEONE has to share it. But it’s all in the delivery and if you’re the person to identify the problem you WILL be hated forever.
Oedipal Task: (1) Attempting to avoid an unspeakably awful outcome and in doing so creating the circumstances that will bring it about. (2) Trying to solve an problem and discovering that you are in fact the problem you are trying to solve.
Odyssean task: you’ll complete it but it’ll take 20 times longer than it should and involve multiple side quests and mini-adventures
Pandorean task: some people fucked around and now it’s your job to make sure they find out
Medusaean task: You’re going to lose your head over it, but at least you won’t have to put up with wolf whistles and pickup lines anymore.
Every single on of those registrations was a single person deciding to register. When you think you’re just “lil ol me” and your voice doesn’t matter that much: Remember this.
Your actions have impact, your voice and your vote matter.
[ ID: A tweet by @ lemonymaya that reads: “why does this text from my mom read like poetry”. Attached is a screenshot of a text message that reads as follows: “I cooked a steak tonight and was feeling alien. How weird this gross piece of cold raw flesh on a cold plate is and I was thinking I am just an animal with the luxury of packaged flesh and is it human flesh? Like I wouldn’t know. We just believe it’s a cow but we don’t have fucking proof of anything. The knife went through the same as if it was my own leg.” /end ID. ]
@danashehab has been fundraising since may and is just over €15,000 away from their goal l. as stated in the screenshot people are starting to believe the rafah crossing will open so it’s important to make sure everyone has the funds in case they are allowed to evacuate.
thee shehab family consists of dana (13), sahar (14), mona (9), malak (5), yehya (1.5), fahed, (38), reem (32), and grandmother mona (60). they have been shadowbanned and deleted a few times. you can also find this family at @monashehab
I love her, she’s gay and she loves her goth wife and has a cute stache and doesn’t tuck or wear bras and plays fun loud music and just overall a representation of trans joy

Left side: “Instead of” with an X in a red circle: “You’re getting bogged down in the details.” “Let’s not muck about.” “They’re dragging my name through mud!” “I’m swamped.”
Right side: “Say this” with a tick in a green circle: “You’re frolicking in nutrient-dense mud.” “Let’s not disturb the marshland.” “I’m journeying through soggy terrain.” “I’m immersed in nature.”
