"nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life" ok. well when i pet my dog he is soft and when he licks my hand it is wet and that is far more real to me than whatevers going on at an atomic level

this tweet is making me choke to death

1. precisely 2. really really enjoying this phrasing

my favorite lumax detail is lucas wearing a karate kid shirt because max thinks ralph macchio is cute. i can just imagine lucas with the boys in mike’s basement and they're all trying to figure out how to karate chop a board in half because lucas wants to show off to max

we as a fandom should talk more about dustin’s cute nerdy shirts

look at him. hes such a dork. i love him

Do you ever think about the inherent turbulence & problematics of El‘s and Hopper‘s father-daughter relationship. Like how he sold her out to the lab in favor of saving Joyce’s kid but then he felt like a shit person about it & when he suspected she might still be alive he left food out for her in the woods and took her in and gave her a home. But how this home was mostly built on guilt, over his dead daughter and over having sold out El. And then he got more attached to El than he expected so he resorted to the emotionally consipated controlling macho mindset he’s known all his life to keep her “safe“. And how Sarah will forever be a child in his heart so when El grows & in s3 acts like a teenager he acts out and gets controlling. And how much of their relationship is actually built on Hopper’s guilt and shortcomings in his life, and how he’s constantly trying & failing to atone for his mistakes through El.

Just me? Ok

Tumblr makes sense to me bc if i see something i like i get excited and hit the button to show other people and theres no weird unspoken social conventions my autistic brain doesnt understand. I can literally sit here and reblog 150 niche shitposts about harvest mice in an hour just bc they make me happy and i dont have to explain myself to anyone and i'll actually *gain* followers instead of just being called weird and downvoted or whatever its so cool

it's rotten work, but without the rot nothing can grow

it's rotten work but decay is part of the cycle of death and rebirth

All the dead things: Its rotten work

The mushroom internet: Not to mycelium. Not if its you

i like sailing myths and superstitions because most of them can be boiled down to "if the ocean doesn't like you it will chew you up and spit out your bones. and if it really loves you it will swallow you whole and never let you go. good luck 👍"

if I ever get 100k followers on here I feel like I’m legally obligated to buy tumblr shoelaces

uh oh

oh really? do tell

fuck

I’m on the phone with joe

Who's Joe?

some idiot whos about to get his shoelaces stolen

I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day

I take it all back everyone on this site is toxic

LOOK AT THEMMMM

This is the bare minimum of decent human behavior for ANY gender. If you are an adult and someone who is not an adult wants to have a relationship with you, it is your duty to, at bare minimum, turn them away.

and like... having crushes on adults is a Normal Adolescent Thing, but it doesn’t mean they’re ready for--or for that matter, want--an actual relationship with said adult. it’s a goddamn developmental phase for kids working out their sexuality, and treating it as a chance to get laid is fucking monstrous.

Same reason why when a younger kid tries to playfully fight with you, the appropriate response is not to sweep the leg, get them on the ground and then start kicking.

You’ve heard of hopeless romantic? I’m a hopeless platonic

For anyone wondering, this was the exact feeling behind this post

In memes where text or panels are edited the originals are always the funniest, case in point:

one of my girlfriends only tells the truth. my other girlfriend only tells lies.

and yes, they both smoke weed

and which one told you that?

The neurodivergent urge to do this

I made this picture in like 5 minutes on Ibispaint and it still haunts me to this day. Nothing else I will ever do will have the same reach.
