I think a lot about who I am to other people in the world–particular who I am to strangers as a mere concept in their lives.

Today this woman called our information desk and said, “my son’s band is playing tonight. I want to come see him, but he never answers his phone…..I want to be there. Have you heard anything about his band?”

And I felt so bad for this lady but I’m not in the music scene around here so I had to tell her no, sorry.

Five hours later, I’m hiking and run into a group of guys setting up for some outdoor performance, and as I watch them unload the drums it hits me.

“Hey,” I said, “are y’all in a band?”

They said yeah and smiled and I told them “one of your moms called today. She wants to watch you play, but she can’t get a hold of you. Call your mom.”

And they all pulled out their phones and started discussing whose mom it probably was as they presumably dialed their own.

And now, unless we meet again and recognize each other, that’s who I’ll be forever to those guys–some mysterious courier for mom-messages who came out of the woods and told them their mom called.

I didn’t even tell them why their mom called me. Who am I to their mom?? Nobody even asked. They just took my word for it and called their mothers.

Amazing.

Fantasy High: Junior Year Episode 3

Elven Oracle, ladies and gentlemen

[voidwatchesback]

The perfect symmetry of Sophomore Year Riz rearranging the letters in “Garthy O’Brien” incorrectly to spell “Night Yorb” and Junior Year Riz’s first Fantasy ACT question being a correct word jumble of “Night Yorb” that the Intrepid Heroes are convinced on first impression has to spell “Garthy O’Brien”

miscellaneous moments that fucked hard this episode:

Fig being referred to as an "angel fiend" UNPARALLELED. that goes so fucking hard

everything that the art department did. christ.

Ally being on a mission to give as much personality to that mimic as possible

"I know I'm beautiful but Jesus" from Fabian

Zac criting so many times that the only explanation is that god is real and loves him very much

Gorgug's "Sit down."

TECTONYA KARKOVNYA NAME DROP LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

I think part of what made Fantasy High so beautiful is that Brennan was acutely aware that DnD was new not only to (a part of) his players, but also the audience. So he looked them in the eyes and said take my hand. This is how magic works. Also. An important thing. In here. We go batshit. There's an entire dimension in your jacket and they do not want you to ask follow-up questions. Your principal just shot someone in the head. Your god is real and he loves you but also he's kind of a loser frat boy. This man is getting his magical powers through the power of No Fap. Rock music is the source of immaculate conception. Don't be scared to create literally anything with me, you are safe here. Not from the rōmænce partner you lied about having but. From the judgement of the cruel mistress we call reality. Look at me. Laws are threats and the police is an occupying army and we will get ice cream.

if there's one thing we can learn from this booping experience it's that we need to give people notes and interact with them for tumblr to be fun and thriving

YouTube now has a boop button and not a single Tumblr user had noticed.

I just....I just learned that there's a word in the English language...for when you run into someone to hug them with all the enthusiasm and strength you have....I learned that it's called glomp.

My God, English has so many words to describe physical intimacy, I'm in love

randomly remembering the time in 2012 when everyone kept saying the world was going to end at midday that day and like, i didnt really believe it, but i didnt want to be a complete fool if i was wrong, so i excused myself from class to go sit the field and perfectly timed the beat drop to a skrillex song just in case something happened. and im just. retroactively amused by the idea of ushering in the appocalypse with skrillex. most 2012 thing you could possibly do.

occasionally I am struck dumb by the sublime beauty of the world in the small moments, you know?
