Kinda fucked up that we all coo and sympathize with “former gifted kids” but never talk about the students who had to stay late after school or over the summer for remedial classes/clubs, who struggled to get above a C, who were given up on or punished. Who tried so hard to understand or just couldn’t. Who were grouped with the “stupid kids” (a classmate called us that in remedial math btw)
Autistic kids and adhders who can’t relate to their gifted peers and are constantly alienated by them. Kids who struggled in school due to dealing with a chronic or mental illness or physical/learning/developmental disability. Those of us who have had to drop out of highschool or college. Kids who worked so hard and wanted to be seen as smart, but never were. Who watched as their peers seem to fly by them in school, while they were left behind. Who were bullied and put down by those in the gifted and honors classes. Whose confidence was absolutely destroyed by education.
I love you all and I’m so sorry the school system failed you. I’m sorry you weren’t properly accommodated and given the education you deserved. I’m sorry people put you down for something that they never had to fight for.
I think it’d be fun if one of these days when the evil overlord type is like “I Need A Queen. To Rule With” one of the little henchmen is just like “um 😳 if I may, sir, I would like to volunteer 👉👈” and overlord is just like. Okay sure you’re cute aha
This is gay of course in case it wasn’t clear. I do support henchwomen in their career choices but we’re doing gay villains here
Or they could both be girls who knows. This trope is usually done with the Evil Man who proceeds to kidnap someone about it but we could have an overlady why not. Girlboss
Evil Overlady reading outdated Evil Overlord Instruction Manual from the Sexist Old Days: hmm, says here I need to acquire an Evil Queen to assist me in my Rule of Terror and General Administrative Duties. I must follow what the Manual says
Henchwoman who has been wearing increasingly risqué bustiers every passing day of her employment: umm. ma’am. 😳 I would like to apply for that position 👉👈
Evil Overlady: Excellent! This is why I hired you, because you are a Real Go-Getter
once you stop automatically accepting it as the default and start to notice how like 99.99% of feminine characters in anything, art, movies, games, etc. are literally skinnier than the average irl woman it’s gonna make you go fucking insane.
putting a gun to the head of every character designer. make some fat women. make some muscular women. make femboys with chub. make femme nonbinary people with some damn meat on them. unlearn your misogynistic association between femininity and skinniness as inherently linked or perish from this world.
whenever i see a noir detective in the rain i’m like yeah man… that’s exactly where you’re supposed to be
Noir detectives are actually meant to be stressed, it’s their natural state. A Noir detective with nothing to be stressed about, will quickly revert to a more highly stressed state than normal.
Noir detectives require stress to be healthy, that’s why it’s a good idea to make sure that an Inside Detective has access to regular difficult and alarming cases to solve and also a shower they can stand in (fully clothed or not) to agonize, since they can’t go out in the rain. Don’t be alarmed if they bang their little fists on the tile and howl, that’s a normal part of the display. If they sit on the floor and cry, though, they may be overstimulated and need some hard alcohol and a nap to help them settle down.
It can be difficult, but if you have a friend with a Femme Fatale, arranging a (supervised) playdate can be enriching to both of them.
it’s important to allow your Noir Detective to bundle your Femme Fatale into an airplane at night at least once a year, as it provides them both with a rare excuse to let themselves openly cry for emotional catharsis and clear out vestigial tear ducts, which are dangerous to clean at home. in particularly difficult cases where neither has cried for years, artificial rain may be required to provide some cover (and will also provide a humidity boost, an underlooked but important part of trenchcoat health). Be sure to provide your Noir Detective with additional replacement trenchcoats after airplane enrichment, as the Femme Fatale will probably steal his to line her nest.
This is one of the funniest things I’ve found on tumblr and I’ve seen some shit
What if my chosen profession, which is largely based around non-judgemental compassion, acceptance, and seeing life from other’s perspectives, with the purpose of harm reduction, puts me in a situation where people tell me they like things I don’t? Do I kill them in self-defense? Can I have a gun
I dont care if it “freaks the interns out” I became a mad scientist so I could install a hinged glass panel in my skull to remove my brain whenever I get migraines. Tell the interns that if they can’t handle watching me remove my own brain and put it in a jar then they should change majors before they waste more of my time
Uh oh, the A.I. on your long haul space mission has analyzed your psyche profile and diagnosed you as “pretty princess”. Yeah, it’s been adding feminizing horomes to your diet and adding subliminal suggestions to the background ambient noise. Yeah, the physical and mental changes are prefectly normal. I wouldn’t worry that pretty head of yours if I were you.
I…tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.
I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as “ecological deserts.”
Star Trek writers are gonna go so nuts when Beatles songs finally fall out of copyright
natural rejoinder is to say something about Star Trek falling out of copyright, but it feels like the tropes of the show are already so generic that you can literally do whatever you want with them
Seth MacFarlane on hailing frequencies, sir.
poor guy can’t even beat this shitty youtube video
i am on my knees tears running down my face knuckles raw and bleeding and BEGGING people to learn the difference between sentient and sapient
All animals are already sentient. Sentience is base level consciousness and ability to perceive.
Sapient is human-level intelligence. Any cartoon animals or whatever that talk are sapient. Describing them as sentient may not be wrong but it doesn’t MEAN anything because animals ALREADY ARE sentient you mean they are SAPIENT PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU
a good way to remember this is to remember that humans are “homo sapiens,” so anything with thoughts like a human is also “sapient”
😭😭😭 mama calling them all in and then going to find the one that fell behind and then another baby panicking and screaming because she can’t see mommy and mama calling her and the baby rushing over with obvious enormous relief oh god I am CRYING
I want an entire streaming service of nothing but this!
