HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM OF THE MODERN AGE

More random tropes that I fucking love: Becoming the mask you wore.

Like oh shit, this character who was sent to spy somewhere under a false identity suddenly realises they've started to genuinely become the person they claimed to be? Someone who's been telling the same lies about who they are for so long that they're actually forgetting that the story isn't true? Finding themselves genuinely doing the things they pretend to do in front of people, when they're alone and nobody's watching? Answering to a name that wasn't supposed to be theirs without thinking?

Ooohh-hoh-hoh, you lost track of yourself in pretending to be someone else? You were only supposed to impersonate somebody, a plausible background and a name you came up with on the spot, and now that the people you were supposed to infiltrate have become your true companions? You lost yourself in the game you played, and no you no longer know who you truly are, and where your true loyalties lie? And both sides would mark you a traitor if you came out with the truth. On a scale of one to ten, how bad did you fuck up.

Fuck that is a good trope. Never seen it done badly. Pour that shit on a table and I'll chop it into lines and snort it.

if it’s okay to ask id really like if you or any followers had any tips on getting a job and how not to panic when trying to find one

I’m graduating college in like a week and just can’t seem to figure out how to just get A Real Job and my parents say if I’m just going to be working at Walmart or something I should just go home - I don’t want to do this

Fuck what your parents say.

There's no such thing as a Fake Job.

You don't live to work, you work to live. A "good" job is whatever job lets you lead a happy life outside it. Apply everywhere that seems doable and if you don't hate it, stick around. I used to worry myself to shreds about this, trust me, it's way easier than you think it's going to be.

You can try and find out if your town has a ministry office or outreach building that has job listings available. Ask around at the library for help. Get a LinkedIn account. Apply on a bunch of job search websites. I've been full time employed for years and still get offers in my email.

Whatever job you get, be polite and timely and kind. The people you meet are your greatest resource. Everyone knows somebody looking for reliable help.

There Is Honour In Humble Work. Don't trust anyone who says otherwise

hey I just wanted to say thank you extremely much for all the music asks you've made I started listening to soooo much stuff

ALWAYS looking for Playlist prompts!

Feel free to drop an ask with a colour, mood, character, vibe, whatever- I can't promise I'll respond, or that I'll be fast, but I'm ALWAYS attaching music to stuff ♡♡♡

Other tips for financially abused kids who want to leave:

Most banks will send you a credit card when you apply. You cannot opt out of it. See if you can get it sent somewhere that's not your home, or find a bank that allows you to opt out of getting one (try emailing them to check).

Also: here's a reddit article I found with banks that allow you to opt out of a credit card- (do your own research though-this information could be false or outdated) https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/deqlx6/how_to_open_a_bank_account_while_hiding_it_from/

(I hear Novo bank allows you to opt out of getting a card. And it's also a business bank. However, a good chunk of the reviews are bad).

Get an account at a bank your family doesn't use, and make sure they don't know about it. Otherwise they could get access to it.

Cashapp can be used as a bank (not recommended bc cashapp isn't as secure as a bank, but it is an option).

You can check how good a bank is by checking nerdwallet and reddit.

You'll need a business bank account-or an account that lets you do business-if you want to freelance (which includes things like transcription). There's an article on nerdwallet about the best business accounts, and another one about accounts you can open without an EIN.

Make sure your bank statements are emailed and not mailed.

There's a bank called Majority which allows people to get accounts without SSN. Most of the reviews I've seen are good, but I still recommend checking the reviews yourself.

Try to get a paypal if you're going to get an online job-a lot of them require a paypal to use their services.

If you don't have proof of address, look for an online-only bank.

(reposted to avoid backlash on the OP)

nobody's unlovable and loneliness isn't new, this just what happens when the first generation of men and boys allowed to say "I desire kindness" emerge at at same time as women and girls allowed to say "I don't owe men anything".

And they're both right, they're both correct- Masculine figures are allowed to ask to be treated gently and Feminine figures are allowed to decide who they share intimacy with.

The PROBLEM is men thinking "I deserve gentleness" is the same as "someone owes me intimacy".

Men need to start GIVING what they ask for.

If men were kinder and gentler, if we raised our boys with emotional literacy and taught them compassion and self-care and generosity, personal responsibility and concern for others, they wouldn't see WOMEN as a united monolith marching out to deny them their "right"- they'd have support networks and friendships of their own to rely on, not just a mom or a wife to dump all their needs onto.

Men being lonely isn't new. They're just allowed to talk about it now. And, coincidentally, the socially-conditioned second-class-citizen support role is rapidly vanishing.

We've yet to stabilize: its that instability that has people chewing at the rope.

It's a rough transition, but that's all it is. A step to something better.

I fully agree with your reply to the post about male loneliness (we need to stop treating all men like a monolith of horribleness) and I think it was well worded, however I'm not gonna reblog it cause OP seems to be a child I'm worried users will go be mean to them about their opinion

Ah fuck okay, I might redo that as a screenshot reply, thank you for the heads up!! Should have thought to check

friend of mine at the dinner table said "how do you kiss someone for over twelve minutes and not, like, die?" and i was like "do you think people hold their breath???" and they said "no, but i mean, how do you keep your face on someone's face for THAT LONG?" and i said "it's NOT hard, i've made out for WAY longer than twelve minutes, twelve minutes is NOTHING it's like BARELY ANYTHING!" and my other friend who's 19 going on 12 just looks me dead in the eye and says "OKAY, PUSSYMASTER!" and guys, i think i have a new official title i'm going to ask that everyone address me by,

Black girls from the hood who buy dollar doorknockers, get their long nails done for cheap at the salon down the block, who wear $20 wigs and  who find their party outfits from Rainbows and rock  bright lipsticks from the the beauty supply store. They are culture. They created this “baddie IG” trend years and years ago, back when black girlhood was ugly and scary and ghetto to you.

Trying not to kill a man

Being dramatic about holding a plank at the gym

Impressing my boss

Hitting on kinksters

Praying I guess

Knowing the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary has so far in life been so useful in so many unexpected ways
