if a teenager is at your door and they are wearing a costume!! please give them candy!! they are still in it for the halloween spirit and it honestly no different from a little kid in a costume. they are just as excited and happy as all the other lil tykes and dont you dare tell them they are “too old for trick-or-treating” because that will literally break their hearts and that’s not cool.
Its getting close to Halloween again so I just thought I’d reblog this again
And if “don’t be rude to teenagers over a stupid jawbreaker” isn’t enough for you, consider
You can’t tell how old a kid is just by looking. I’ve known multiple 5th graders who were taller than I am, and I’m 25 years old. With their faces hidden by masks, you won’t be able to tell they’re elementary schoolers, but they still are.
Lots of older siblings are expected to take their younger siblings trick-or-treating, and they only get paid in candy.
You don’t know if that teenager is developmentally disabled.
You don’t know if that teenager spent most of their childhood in a hospital or sick and has never had the traditional trick-or-treat experience before.
You don’t know if this is that teenager’s first Halloween in America, and they just want to experience a piece of American culture.
You don’t know if that teenager ever gets candy any other day of the year.
You don’t know if that teenager has eaten anything at all today.
And those are just things I can think of off the top of my head.
and even if it is just a bored 16/17 year old out trying to see what free shit they can get. is it really gonna kill you to give them a fun sized milky way from the multipack you bought at poundland? That thing didn’t even cost you 5p, just give the kid the sugar, say “nice costume”, and let it go.
There are worse things a teenager could be doing on Halloween instead of trick-or-treating.
It’s been kind if an unspoken rule in my college town that if college students show up at your door in costume you give them candy because they’re also out to have fun and it’s way nicer for the students to trick or treat instead of going out and getting drunk. It’s also a way for the people who don’t want to party and don’t want to drink to have fun so like, we need to stop getting angry at people older than 6 wanting to dress up and get candy.
Heck, we even offer the parents a bit of candy too! It’s all good fun~!
Fr, I always hate the ‘you’re too old for trick or treating’ bullcrap.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
just found out that stoats hunt twice the size of them like rabbits by aggressively and eccentrically dancing around it with their little slinky rigatoni bodies so it can confuse the absolute fuck out of its prey until it can get close enough to jump on its back like some shadow of the colossus shit and take it down
oh my god its called the weasel war dance and they just go off the shits apeshit little animals

“dont smoke around your pets” okay well i dont even smoke im asthmatic. my dog smokes bc she needs to fucking chill sometimes and Yeah i light them for her Obviously bc she cant use a lighter. i dont get anyrhing out of this arrangment and i resent the implication. in fact shes giving ME secondhand smoke. so my question is why are you so hateful and jugemental and acting like an asshole to me making presumptions and shit about my life.
esoteric form of roleplay where instead of actually roleplaying you just make up characters together and discuss in abstract how they’d interact and how their story would go
Skeletor has forever destroyed our ability to come up with voices for skeleton characters.
this is like saying NASA has forever destroyed our ability to wonder what it’s like on the moon. like we can still use our powers of imagination if we want to but the question’s pretty much fucking settled.
when I listen to Thunder by Imagine Dragons I think “this is an okay song, I like the way they say ~thunder~ in a silly voice”
#oh it’s the most okay of most okay-ish-est songs ever #EASILY a song #from one of the bands ever #i have absolutely listened to them and i can say without a doubt‚ their songs are undoubtedly some of the songs
*nodding* some of the songs of all time.
OP: shares my tags with other people
me: this is great. i am going to get a good grade in tumblr tags, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve

At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- “YEAHHH GURL, Get on with–with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy.”
I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that’s great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.
Anyway I’ve been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl
Good news. At work today I heard her and some of the other coworkers recounting the retreat, so I went over and I told her “Just so you know, and I mean this genuinely, sincerely, with all love in my heart and not a negative feeling in my body, asking someone their pronouns while you are drunk as a skunk is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.”
She had absolutely no memory of the conversation of course, but cracked up upon hearing it. When I told her that “They/them/thy” is branded into my brain forever, she immediately went “Pop OFF, your honor!”
Big noses and pointy noses and sharp noses and hooked noses and long noses and deviated noses are very cool and very fun to draw. hit post
Used to be super self conscious about not having a small button upturned nose until I saw an artist draw herself with a large hooked nose. Now I draw myself with an cartoony pointy nose and it has done wonders for my self esteem actaully
This is good advice before any storm! Insurance will probably be a pain anyway, but at least you’ll have something documented.
You used to have to do this to get FEMA funds as well, but those requirements have changed, so now they’ll cover repairs/replacements even if things are already damaged! FEMA funds can be applied if your insurance does not cover everything AND can be used to distaster-proof your home once you return. The application is much easier to fill out and to get approved now. View more information on the reform at https://www.fema.gov/assistance/individual/2024-reform. And apply for assistance at https://www.disasterassistance.gov/.
i think, in part; that skittish people will always need to have a way out. I think it’s really comforting to them if they know that if they need to flee then they can. loving someone like that probably should include being comfortable with the idea that there will need to be an escape route for the skittish critter. even if they feel the most at home with someone they ever have, knowing they’re not trapped is important
”pdf file” “unalived” “grape” “corn” what if i killed myself right here right now
imagine you read the local newspaper and in the section where they discuss a recent murder they describe it as “young adult unalived by serial game ender”. like you’re a toddler surrounded by adults who need to watch their language around you. you’re sanitizing and cutting down gruesome, horrific actions and situations into digestible baby words. i know this has been said before by other people but i’m so so sick of it dude, don’t speak advertiser language to me.
remembering the time I called american psycho (a satirical film about toxic masculinity) a dark comedy and the overwhelming response was ‘oh so u think men killing sex workers is funny? u think THAT’S funny?’ like no I find a patrick batemen listening to 'i’m walking on sunshine’, killing jared leto while wearing a clear raincoat and giving a dissertation on huey lewis n the news, using 'I need to return some video tapes’ to get out of awkward situations, throwing a hissy fit about business cards, dropping a chainsaw down a flight of stairs, thinking an atm is telling him to feed it cats, and crying hysterically under a desk is funny. but thank u for ur wonderful insight
still thinking about “decolonising” missionary work.
the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work
the way you decolonise missionaries is like this:
“but it’s part of my religion to evangelise”
🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆 infinite jaguar attack
“but we need to go to Ethiopia (one of the oldest christian countries in the world) to make them the right kind of christian!”
🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆
jaguars
“but…”
🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆 jaguars
“but missionaries bring schools and hospitals to poor countries” that’s called humanitarian aid and trying to use humanitarian aid to get religious converts is actually SUPER fucked! hope this helps 🐆🐆🐆
Context: This is a grocery store in the town of Black Mountain, NC, which was devastated by Hurricane Helene. The police will not let anyone in to get food or clean water or even baby formula and diapers, not even if they have cash to pay. This is being framed as “stopping looters”. This is apparently the best thing the cops have to do with their time, during a widespread emergency.
The store has no power - the food will rot anyway.
can we talk about how the mechanisms provide a perfect case study of all the kinds of players who show up to a dnd campaign
we have the player who fully understood the assignment and even integrated other characters into their backstory (gunpowder tim). we have the person who made their character at the last minute and just gave you the basics but they’re fun and cool character choices that you would like to know more about (raphaella). we got the player who has not shared any meaningful backstory but always kills it in rp (marius). the player who actually wrote out a cool backstory and a great character concept but refuses to engage in roleplay (ivy). the player who has to leave in the middle of the campaign and the dm wrote them out in a heartbreaking way (nastya). the player who clearly made their character for a different campaign but did a pretty good job of integrating it and you can tell the dm had a hand in it (the toy soldier.) the player who understood the assignment and made a super hot character that everyone loves (ashes). and the character with the most insane all over the place backstory that they refuse to elaborate on and rarely comes up in roleplay (brian.)
and of course the dm who set the assignment and has all the load bearing pieces of canon in it (jonny)
