one of those false etymology posts but with the actual etymology of the word

As a character, franchise, concept. whatever,

#this makes perfect sense to me bc like i sort of imagine mario as more widespread #but that sonic inspires more specific fans #yk? #poll #sonic #mario #for the record as i rb this there’s 6 hours left and sonic is winning with ~60% #which is not an overwhelming lead tbh

hey. personality quiz right here right now. What did you do at recess. :)

#intense and lore-heavy game of imaginary friends #in like. 2nd grade? we had to present about ourselves and mine had a bunch of info about my main imaginary friend #sorry. 'invisible friend'. and then like all of my classmates got into it #not the game just like in their responses. im not explaining this well but i was like known for it #it continued into like 5th or 6th grade and was like the main activity i would do w my best friends #we held a wedding for two of the characters once and then did a long project where we would take turns writing letters from them from #their honeymoon around the world. but the characters were very tiny so the letters would be on like little scraps of paper #we kept them in an empty nerds box. #also they were often written in the alien language of the invisible friends. which was really just a cipher #also swings #and that toy the Skip-it? anyone remember that?

there are, of course, only two genders: knight and princess. setting aside those weird perverts who propose things like "witch."

If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!

#this actually reminds me of how i read the entire lotr including appendices in like 5th grade but tbh did not retain aaaany of it #like i definitely looked at every word in order. did Not process it #hm #also when i was like 6 i read a popular middlegrade novel and didn’t understand why the main character (a teenager) was acting Like That #then reread it as a teen and was like ohhhhhhh #i don’t usually think about that kind of growth bc it generally happens slowly and naturally #ig

"Life sized bottle of vanilla extract?!"

#the phrase life sized is doing something linguistically interesting here #assuming its not meant to be a trick question #“life sized” bottle of vanilla extract would be “the same size as the thing represented” so like. a few inches tall #i would be surprised to see one on my doorstep but not notably #now if by life-sized they meant human sized. well. id be more surprised than the regular one but like. last place for sure. #thats just an art piece #poll

[two overlapping drawings: 1. nancy drew drinking from a plastic cup, looking out of the corner of her eye. 2. deirdre clutching the cup behind her back, crumpling it]

“I never really suspected you.” “How kind of you,”

If I ask nicely who will rb this telling me what is the last song u listened to 🥺

#i have to reblog this to let my friends know I'm listening to a song called California Sex Lawyer #by Fountains of Wayne (of Stacy's Mom fame) #I decided to listen to all of their songs and I'm almost done with the first album #'but lore CSL is the third song on Out of State Plates' yes. I'm skipping back to it bc its a good song #reblog game

It didn't matter where Deirdre went: a party, the store, her home, the privacy of her own mind. Nancy was always there, haunting her.

everyone check out my deirdre/nancy fic

#read this fic you don’t even need context of nancy drew i think #deirdre shannon #nancy drew #her interactive #nancy drew x deirdre shannon

avril lavigne was right. what the hell

Re: blorbo from my research, here is my favorite ever case study. I'm obsessed with it.

Summary:

- Guy presents to neurology with muscle issues, very clearly has something going on but diagnostic tests are inconclusive

- History is mostly unremarkable. Key word, mostly. He drinks four liters of plain Earl Grey tea per day. For context this is nearly twice the recommended daily fluid intake. All fluids, to be clear, not just tea. He only drinks tea tho

- Bergamot is known to be phototoxic in high doses (reacts badly on your skin with sunlight)

- APPARENTLY nobody previously has consumed enough of it for it to be widely known that it is also, apparently, mildly toxic to ingest in high doses

- Guy starts drinking plain black tea again. Only 2 liters this time (he didn't have a medical reason to drink that much tea, he just liked it) and so now he's fully recovered
