So, zerrie is fake anon here. I scrolled through Tumblr and found an old anti zerrie account. Like from back when they were together and it had a post about her mother being islamophobic. And people were like how can she say such things when her future son in law is a Muslim. And It's clicking now that it's because she probably doesn't even know he is (well, was, he confirmed he no longer identifies as one). But, goddamn, does that boy have bad luck with mothers of "partners". Hopefully, Karen more than makes up for it.

Oh nonnie, I'm sure Karen more than makes up for it. After all:

Zayn is her favourite.

I mean just look at much she loves him:

So much that she gives him kisses, and must give him that motherly squeeze.

She really is just enamoured by her son in law.

And it's not like Zayn doesn't return that sentiment:

So I don't think there is any need to worry, nonnie, Karen knows how to make Zayn feel loved, no doubt!

Thanks for the ask nonnie!

stands…. you were- you were part of the week. you contributed to the week. you cannot meme about the week you added to (then swept under a rug) to promote bi pride pins in an email that directly referenced an incident that caused a man to come out as straight whom you called queer on main with your whole chest….. 😐

literally this is a trainwreck like. WHAT is your angle here @ stands? explain it to me like i'm 5.

So, I went on Indigo.com to look up Jedi: Battle Scars, have I played Jedi: Fallen Order? No, because I’m bad at every game that isn’t the sims but I have watched it on youtube and by it I mean everything but the actual gameplay, I think those are called cutscenes. Anyway, I was looking it up because I collect Star Wars books with the intention of reading them and I might read that one, however, it’s $39.99. It’s $40. It’s hardcover and I’d get 200 plum points upon purchase but it’s still $40 + tax. That’s too much money.

#why are books so expensive? #what is the reason? #it is just paper #remember when hardcovers were like $20? #paperbacks are now $23 #star wars #jedi: fallen order #jedi: survivor #jedi: battle scars #cal kestis #nightsister merrin #cere junda #greez dritus

While we’re talking hockey...how the HELL did the Leafs end up 13 points ahead of Tampa?!? Please don’t get my hopes up like this, I’m already fragile.

Now why am I filling out a form to bring in with literally all the same information you just asked for over the phone

#what is the reason? #like I know for a fact you just took all this information down while we talked over the phone #why do I need to bring in a form with everything too #just to finish setting up an appointment

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

#oh the experience of being 13 years old and seeing all my friends talking about wanting to have sex and obsessing over it #and being like 'we are all literally WAY too young to be having sex what the actual fuck are you talking about #why are you even considering it when we have much more important things to worry about. like how much middle school sucks' #you know what though. i still stand by this. that was an entirely reasonable thought to have and i WAS being normal about it #anyway #mine #asexuality

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

whenever i see another tiktok girlie talking about how she wishes to have been a fangirl in 2010s i feel like a seasoned veteran overhearing a foolish youngin boasting about wanting to go to war for glory and adventure. you naive little idiot. you know nothing. you understand nothing. you weren't there in the trenches. i have seen things, terrible things. i cannot plug in my phone charger at night without being plagued by the visions of Him

#you wouldn't be able to keep calm and carry on through these years #you can't even say kill without censoring it in a million ways #2010s were a bloodbath be glad you were a baby at the time and didn't witness it #on another subject anyone remember that short period of time when everyone was into moustaches for some reason?? #what the fuck was that about

Does anyone remember the internet when MLP first got popular and people online were insisting They were swearing up and down that the show was for adults, and that it was marketed towards kids but was Definitely For adults, full of mature humor and dark concepts and deep complex characters. and then nowadays you go look up an episode of MLP: FiM and the episode synopsis is something like Pinkie Pie Lost Her Balloon 🎈💔

#Like i swear it felt like a bunch of adults not wanting to admit they liked the little horse show for girls. its OKAY #its a good show you dont have to make up reasons that its good. Enjoy it for what it is 🤷‍♀️

Imagine actually being so evil that you'd rather make sure your writers suffer financially instead of just paying them the pay they deserve. Hell truly has some seats reserved already, holy shit.
