My youngest was watching a show for kids and the woman on the show was holding a toy horse and said, "Where's his Daddy? Maybe if we say 'Daddy' his Daddy will hear and come over." She said "Daddy" and the Daddy horse appeared.

Sooo...If I pick up Grogu and yell "Daddy," what are the chances that Din will come running over?

Hello everyone who follows me who enjoys DnD and liveplays I am politely asking people to get in to Dan Jones and Dragons with me

It’s a new actual play DnD podcast on Twitch DMed by Dan Jones, and it’s really easy to get into, there’s only 2 episodes out so far, and it’s a once monthly thing, so wayyy easier to get into and consume that like... Critical Role or something like that (Not dunking on CR I love them too)

I’m simply saying it’s really easy to get into and it’s Really fun, I absolutely adore all the player characters, and it’s so fun to watch because Dan is such a great DM and he’s so Excited about DMing and playing a game with his friends and it’s wonderful to watch

Also here’s the link to episode one Please give it a try

#Dan Jones and Dragons #DJ&D #Dan Jones #jocat #Dan Floyd #NicoleGoodnight #Gamblord #fayrenheight #barryisstreaming #DnD #please friends get into this with me #I've gotten like 3ish people into it with me already and they all really like it soooo therefore #it's worth a try

I didn’t realise this until adulthood but handmade birthday piñatas are the apex of parental devotion. I spent the week cooking for my ravenous teenage cousins and felt a bit crestfallen at times that I was spending so long making something that was going to disappear within minutes—but with piñatas it’s so much worse, they exist to be savagely maimed. Year after year my father asked his kids what shape they wanted this year’s piñatas to be and he spent weeks painstakingly making them in the basement after work, only to watch a bunch of oversugared bat-wielding kids gleefully destroy them in less than 10 minutes. 

I mentioned this to him and he said he remembered researching tarantula anatomy for the giant spider piñata I asked for when I was 4, trying to make the fangs the right shape and to cut the crepe paper into very thin ribbons so the thing would look appropriately fuzzy, and I was like “and I don’t even remember it because I was four!! spending so long building a beautiful object only so your kids will have fun destroying it, knowing they won’t even remember it, is such a selfless endeavour” and he said “my other motivation was that you said you wanted the spider to look real & scary so the kids at your birthday party would be terrified of it and you’d get to scoop up all the candy and I wanted to support your slyness & ambition”

#neither of us remembered whether or not my scheme worked #but we agreed it was a good plan & worth a try

no offense but if your friend is trying out a new hobby be fucking nice to them

getting real fed up with my peers treating teenagers like shit. how did you forget so fucking quickly what it's like to be them. shame on you.

#this is about people my age getting into internet discourse with teenagers #and calling them stupid and overall belittling them and being a jerk to them #like. literally just block them if they are being a shithead #teenagers are shitheads sometimes #youre not going to change them #they need to grow up on their own #and an adult making fun of them isnt going to help #in fact it is going to hinder the process #if you want to try to help you need to be kind #if theyre not receptive to that and are still being an asshole then it is not worth it #and you need to go do something else with your time #you are a fucking adult

Help me prove my family wrong!

I don't know if this post will break containment, but will you like/reblog if you are or know a man who is asexual? All of the people in my life seem convinced that being Ace is a 'girl thing' and that Ace men don't exist!

#Asexual #I love my family but they're all cishet and sometimes it Really Shows #Idk if this will actually make it outside my tiny followers but eh worth a try #Also to clarify this is trans + nb friendly

"It's March. I open the window and spring floats in, kisses me on the nose. I have waited so long–and now the Sun is washing the world in yellow, and now the seeds sprout green in the dirt, and now the trees are budding and ready to bloom–and it was all so worth it."
