If you ever wonder whether the “prepares for Christmas a year out” stereotype exists, know that I just bought my Christmas cards for December

#Christmas #I specify it being this Christmas because IK some people still haven’t exchanged Christmas presents #I personally know these humans #and to be fair #it’s because my local hallmark is closing #and as ludicrously expensive as cards are #it’s the one family tradition I can’t break #(also it was a 50>% off sale #I was NOT missing that)

“Christmas is officially over when the stock show is over” is the most midwestern thing I’ve heard in my life

#for those who don’t know #the stock show takes place in January #and is the most midwestern thing to ever exist #what speaks more to a Midwestern new year than farm animals

Nothing is more relieving than when your TA finally enters the room on your first day of discussion section

#to be fair #he’s still a few minutes early #but the last section in the room wrapping up was math #which I was very much not enrolled in

one of the downsides of colleges with a quarter system is that when this time of the year approaches, you are simultaneously in crisis because the actual year is almost over and how did it go so quickly...but you're actually only 1/3 of the way through the school year, and since when was that a thing??

#also it goes until mid-june?? #no thanks #california is weird

Hear me out:

Hero has to fight someone invisible

Hero throws glitter at said person so that they’re easily seen regardless (this also works for doubles)

#also #glitter gets EVERYWHERE #i get within 6ft of glitter #and i'll just start shedding glitter for the next week #i'll find it in my room 3 years later #STELLAR way to annoy the hell out of the villain

#the portrait of dorian gray #oscar wilde #really had some hot takes hidden in his stories #given the character wasn't the most heroic in the book #but like #hot damn

D&D character idea (please note that I have not played dnd before so it might not make total sense): a frog. This frog has some amount of magic, probably given to them by a deity (a cleric then I suppose?) (you could also make them a bard w their croaking sound). The frog has some ability to morph into other things, though they keep frog traits. As such they can go from a normal sized frog to a humanoid-passing thing as long as they have a large hat and a cloak. This morphing ability also allows them to grow in size. They can’t really speak, not in humanoid nor frog form but the team can learn their language with time. This can allow you to have an infiltrator bc, well, who would expect a frog?

An alternate (honestly better) version of this would be that the character is a hoard of frogs, key details being that they can pile on one another to create their human shape or their Large frog shape - this can be either gnomes-from-gravity-falls-esque or they can merge together and Grow (or both - large frog is merging and humanoid is 50 stacked frogs in a trench coat) and that their bardic magical abilities come from a chorus of frogs which would slap

#dnd #character idea #in the time since i put this in drafts #i have now started to workshop this character with a friend of mine who does play dnd #and when i use this in an eventual campaign #it will slap #i've already come up with about 2 dozen frog pun names for the individual frogs to cry out in despair when one of them dies

College dorm bathrooms be like

You enter between the hours of 10am and 9pm: there is perhaps one other person in there, you do not see them physically but there is a stall occupied

You have to go to the bathroom at 1:30 in the morning: there are 2 other people going to the bathroom, 2 more people are brushing their teeth. Someone is taking a shower

#college life #same for the laundry room #10pm: nothing #1am: at least 3/10 dryers have just been loaded and are running #someone is coming back from a shopping spree #...even though most stores easily close by 9pm??? #college kids are wild #regardless of the campus

Your last outfit of 2021 was also your first outfit of 2022

You know what would solve so many of Batman’s problems? If he put a tracker in the joker

Like sure if the man knew abt it then he’d def like mangle his skin to get it out but if he’s already unconscious and got like tons of cuts from being beaten up by batman for the 34658th time then they could just put one in and then the next time psycho clown breaks out to murder? Found in 5 minutes

#batman #granted #it's likely a more temporary issue because there's no way joker WOULDN'T catch on after the first or second time #but like #strategically use it #it could come in loads of handy

I’ve decided that having super speed (a la Flash) would probably be one of the worst power sets I could get bc like my anxiety would get so high like my heart would manage to beat faster than anything has ever moved before, distraction techniques would no longer work, I could finish embroidering something in a minute, I already get bored watching videos can you imagine how much worse it’d be if I could process things at light speed? Hell

#i already have enough anxiety as it is #especially on the 'did getting here 5 minutes early make me too early' and 'holy hell im 5 minutes late how could i DO THIS' fronts #i do not need more of that with eliminating my excuse of getting stuck in traffic #also like #i'm barely 2 weeks into my break and already breaking down because i don't have homework to do and have nearly worked through #THREE cross stitching projects in TWO DAYS #I do not want to be even faster at completing things

I know a lot of people are creeped out by the fact that a lot of the laugh tracks still used today were recorded a long time ago but honestly I think it’s so beautiful like yes human lives have passed and the first thought most people probably have is a feeling of haunting I suppose, you are hearing the laugher of people who may as well be ghosts

but, I find it rather beautiful because like, humans don’t live forever but they want to share that they lived to people in the future, like how people have been writing [x] was here on walls forever as so many people, past and present, want to leave some sort of impact and just the idea that what you left behind is a signal of your genuine happiness and joy in a moment, which is now shared with so many people who consume the media that uses their voices

When you laugh at a television scene that has a laugh track, you are feeling the joy that they felt, people all over, in the past, the present, and the future share these laughs

Take a moment to bask in the fact that you and hundreds of thousands of others have shared your laughs, even if they weren’t physically present with you

#we may never know the specific names or lives of these people #but then again #we also don't always know the identity of someone who tags a wall #or carves in a tree #we may have their first name #but what more do we know about them? #Sometimes a lot #and sometimes nothing at all #regardless they still have left their mark and continue to live on through that tag line or laugh track

Before college, I used to think the Sims was ridiculous with the tiny bathrooms you could make.

Now…I see they were far too generous with their spacing allowances.

#I am taller than my apartment’s shower room is long #taking a shower is #… #interesting #to say the least #how do athletes manage #I genuinely applaud them for suffering tiny showers #I know not all athletes are tall or super bulky but like #I’m a normal human #and I can barely fit

every year on New Year’s Eve, my family teases my mom by reminding her not to set herself on fire again

INTJ Problems

Does anyone else just accidentally create a religion when they’re bored, or is it just me?

#intj problems #intj #mbti #I’m a little serious #I might have created 3 actually #but that’s beside the point
