"For forever?"

I hate to tell you that but it has never ever ever been normal for little girls to get married in the US. your 13 year old grandmother marrying your 25 year old grandfather was objectionable when it occurred, even if it was legal, even if your great grandparents signed. girls who were married as children were isolated from their peers and the normal progression of adolescent life. it was traumatizing. that was not “just the way it was back then” people often got married young, sure, but that usually meant early 20s or late teens.

Child marriage was actually a very contentious topic around that time. Girls of noble birth were often sealed in political marriages from extremely young ages and those marriages were consummated too early, often resulting in death or permanent injury to the young bride. Girls of non-noble birth often wed around the age of 18, sometimes later. Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII of England, was wed at the age of 12 to her second husband, 24 year old Edmund Tudor.

She advocated for later marriage ages for the rest of her life.

each home has a specific scent to it.

you know, the one that builds over time, the so-called occupant odor that fills the air after a while of people living in it. it’s the aroma of the ingredients you use and the spices you often put into your dishes, the freshly washed clothes and especially that one detergent that is always a must, the cleaning products you use, and the scent of those who inhabit the house all combined that sticks behind and makes it so distinct. makes it smell like home.

but satoru’s house smelled empty. too empty in fact. it smelled clean, too clean for someone who’s lived there for years now. almost like a newly renovated apartment that’s been deprived of human presence for too long and it’s just the sharp scent of paint and construction materials that hits your nostrils when you walk in. a housekeeper would come by once in a week to take care of the place, not that there was much to do around — it was pretty clean. nobody cooked there — his fridge was almost empty, only water bottles in it. nobody did the laundry — everything was sent to the dry cleaning. nobody was there enough for their scent to sink in, even he himself. his house never felt like home to him. it was simply a place for him to shortly crash at. like a hotel of some sort, a place he’d only use to shower and sleep while for the rest of the time he’d be out going on missions, putting his life in danger.

that was, until you came into his life.

Professional historians have been saying that for decades. Try studying history at the university level. You'll be amazed.

no offense but you guys need to learn the difference between someone implying their experience is universal and a post simply just not being about you

when satoru asks if you want to sit on the front seat or the back seat, he’s not talking about the car. what he means is : a) his face & b) his dick. you end up riding on both seats though <3

I saw that picture of Joe Biden finding two coins on the ground again today. His face in it is so haunting man I have no idea what emotion he’s experiencing

Just pure rapture

what now, son? what are you going to do now? im here to tell you that ive taken your tokens. i have both of your tokens, boy, and you know where im going to take them? two words: skee ball. you don’t even know how powerful i am, you don’t even know the powers i possess with this two piece of silver. ancient magic, son. ancient magic- don’t mess with ancient magic, or you’ll get the horns. just an old phrase from back in scranton. jill get in the car

I think there should be nerdy gyms and I’m not even joking about that.

Gyms are always marketed around appearance and personal improvement and ~wellness~: lose wait, get hot, eat less! Blah blah blah. They’re soulless and tap into a form of motivation that only works for so long (and is more than a little psychologically damaging for many people)

What if instead, a gym was a place of play, with exercise focused on enjoyment, adventure, and entertainment. It could even be like a D&D campaign:

Because exercise is healthy, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a boring adult obligation. Why force yourself to exercise the same way you force yourself to file your taxes, when you could instead engage in an hour or so of play?

This is a silly post, but I honestly just think serious adults with serious jobs should still have some time on the playground a few days a week.

@bagelsand-creamcheemse you understand my vision 😭

If I could get on a rowing machine with a bunch of other people and sing sea shanties at the same time I can garan-fucking-tee I would be there every day

There needs to be a gym/game arcade hybrid. Like, pure imagination in RPG is fine, but if I could see a magical island getting ever closer while I'm on the rowing machine, or see a fortification get taller stone by stone as I lift, that would be even cooler.

y'all should check out 'Zombies, Run!' and 'The Walk'. Audiobook/game/running apps where you're playing a character and you have someone 'talking' to you while you are walking/running

Seconding the plug for “Zombies, Run!”

Zombies, Run also does virtual races, so you can get medals! I did the first one way back in 2016. Photograph below succinctly states the whole “where I started, where I ended up” story:

They have other fitness games and stories as well:

satoru crouching down to tie your shoe bc it got undone while you were taking a stroll around the park and an old lady walking by stops to admire the view, smiles softly and tells you he’s a keeper and you should definitely marry him and then he, while still down on one knee, looks up at you and goes “will you?”

the BEST THING about America is that one of their timezones is called mountain time. i cannot tell you how funny that is to me. it sure is always time for mountains in one fourth of america

okay but "the symbolism is Real and Trying to Kill You" is my favorite kind of symbolism

like yeah the monster is a representation of your unresolved trauma and guilt and a manifestation of the sins of your past but it's also a real creature and it's going to fucking Get you

Autistics:

The autistic instinct to get up and go. The urge to split. The autistic irish goodbye. The symptom of fucking off. Simply walking away. Okay. I've seen enough here *goes*

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.

There are three kinds of people.
