thinking about the guy who bought his fiancée the Dyson Airblade instead of Airwrap (so a hand dryer instead of a multi-styler for hair) and the guy who got his gf the toy Dyson Airwrap set for children thinking it was the real thing on a huge sale
i never fucked wayne i never fucked drake is such a relatable line. i’ve never fucked wayne or drake either. it really chimes with my own life experiences.
Huge shout to my friend from an undergraduate philosophy program who started working out every single day, not for health benefits or to become conventionally attractive or whatever, but because -- and this is a direct quote -- he was concerned that otherwise he might "become lost in the world of signs and forget the things they signify". I have thought about this every single time that I've worked out since.
"they talked about everything and nothing" is my biggest pet peeve. It's so much worse than a fade to black before a sex scene. Even in the sexiest lustiest pining-est fic, fade to black is still better than they talked about everything and nothing. Like. I am the biggest proponent of 'your sex scene should be unique to you! And your fic!' out there, but in the end I still know what probably happens in a sex scene and if you're fading to black then I definitely know. They orgasmed; it was good; it didn't move the plot along; fine; no one cares.
But everything and nothing. Boy, everything and nothing, let me tell you; this is the worst because I do care and I don't know; I don't know what happened; tell me what happened; WHAT DID THEY TALK ABOUT??? You set up your nice meet-cute and a couple conversations and somehow they are going from acquaintances to friends but how? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? This is the mystery of our lives right here!!! When you do make a friend, you are like how did that happen? It's magic; it's unique; it's better than sex, and it's literally different for everyone. It's the most unique beautiful and hot experience and you're reducing it to this little phrase that has no meaning, when the point of the phrase is that the conversation has all the meaning, even though it's not always about big things! Show me the banter! Show me the little jokes! Show me the contemplation of the universe! Show me the disagreements! Show me the agreements! Show me the real porn!
Like do not tease me with all this slow burn this, pining that, acquaintances-to-friends-to-lovers TEASING and don't give me THE GOOD STUFF, the stuff that I need, the stuff that I crave, by which I mean dialogue. Dialogue is the new smut pass it on
do u ever send smth in a chat thats not even risqué like “i luv salsa” but no one responds so u start overthinking it like…. maybe one of their parents died making salsa…… maybe they were all just talking abt how they hate salsa……. maybe salsa isnt evn real and they have no idea what im talking abt
tiny details about the PJO tv show that I really appreciated
Sally has a New York accent that comes out when she's arguing
Grover picks at his horns when he's nervous
grover has a mother (or at least a maternal figure)! i really want to learn more about her!
Percy doesn't burn his blue candy at mealtime with the other sacrifices. he burns it at night, alone, in the woods behind the cabin.
the archery counselor casually offering Percy a giant lighter for his arrow, because why use a normal arrow when you could use a FLAMING one
eddie the plumber, who in a single line manages to be nicer to Percy than literally ANY OTHER adult man in his life (the bar is so low you can barely slide a piece of paper underneath it)
gabe playing poker online instead of in person; it makes him feel even more pathetic
literally everything about the set design and production design. wow.
every once in awhile someone's going to see you being happy, doing normal cool shit and they're going to get like, REALLY mad at you. it might be a boss, a family member, really anybody who thinks they have authority over you. but listen to me, you might be on this site right now, trying to take your mind off of some shitty interaction or whatever, and maybe you're here to try to feel better.
I'm here to say that everything's going to be okay. if a miserable little creature tries to make you sad for the sake of making you feel sad, don't give em that power. be happy unapologetically, do things that you know are kind and right, don't allow shitty people to get into your head and make you think depressive thoughts.
you've got this shit and I hope you enjoy your scroll
I love that in Catching fire Katniss comes to the conclusion the other tributes are trying to keep Peeta alive because they must see how amazingly perfectly wonderful he is. When in actuality that’s just her having a crush and everyone else recognizing that if Peeta gets hurt Katniss will go fully feral and unhinged and probably try to kill everyone and then herself.
