gays and neurodivergent ppl are obsessed with cryptids, the fae, liminal spaces, etc because we often exist on the fringe of society and lack well-defined social identities, feeling such acute isolation from the “normal” world that we align ourselves more with things that are literally not of this world. in this essay i will
People who do this are gross? Also chlorine is really bad if it gets left on your skin and hair for too long so take a shower ya nasty

listen no matter how depressed I am whenever this post shows up on my dash I fucking lose it I just laugh so hard, it’s such a good post. The way it’s presented? Soap on a sink nozzle, okay clearly this is some sort of handwashing appliance. Then there’s just water going everywhere no further explanation it’s so good I’m so happy

I posted this on Twitter too, but imagine: a horror movie about a chef working late and heard someone say “behind you” as if they are just passing by carrying food or something and then the chef realizes they are there alone and everyone else went home
They have to defuse a WW2 bomb in your city and nobody is really concerned because that happens from time to time.
WHAT #noteuropean
dude there’s entire fields in the west part of Belgium that just has a small “Watch out, mine field” on it, and sometimes farmers don’t know and put cows on it and they get blown up. Shit happens. #WW2
Happens because of WW1 (WW2 too but there’s less stuff left) in northern France too.
Almost walked on a non explosed pair of shells while looking for mushrooms.
I was born in a small town in south Hungary… they didn’t just find one WW2 bomb somewhere around the town… they found 1200 bombs right outside the town in 2014.
Yes, around 1200 German SD-1 fragmentation bombs… only found in 2014!
I love those radio announcements. This part of the city, along with this highway and also, all trains going through, are going to be shut down on Saturday afternoon because bomb.
And all anyone bitches about is the detour they’re forced to take because if it didn’t blow up the past 71 years, they could have waited another week to defuse it, couldn’t they? Eugh.
there’s a flood? oh hello forgotten WWII ammunition in large quantities you go take a walk in the forest? oh hey WWII mine! kids play football in a field? good thing they didn’t kick that mine they found. someone actually looks through the old metal parts in a salvage yard? anti-aircraft mines! tbh nobody usually makes a great fuss because it very rarely actually hurts someone. but yeah until now I was always like ‘lol another one’ and never thought about it much XD
There’s a roadblock in the middle of the city? Oh no worries it’s just a bomb. A whole block gets evacuated? Oh no worries. Bomb. #LifeinGermany
same in czech… we literally have closed forests where no one can go, because mines everywhere and lol, our neighbor was building water well on his garden last year and he is digging and digging and then he hits something solid, surprise it’s a wwii bomb…
Here’s one being detonated in Yorkshire in 2009 (from WW2)
Wtf are you guys ok
Yeah it’s fine, this shit is essentially gossip material and nothing more
We had one in our city recently(ish). If I recall right they evacuated a student accommodation or something, and they watched it get detonated.
It was more like a social event than trouble.
You all sound so surprised that we still have some bombs around from being LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO WORLD WARS.
I feel like the US - and fair enough - don’t quite get how present and clear the effect of the world wars is in Europe.
Like I was in TK Maxx in Balham today failing to find any decent bras. As I went in I glanced around and noted not for the first time how there’s this really distinct break in the style of buildings along that road. This is why:
At 8.02pm on 14th October 1940 a German bomb was dropped directly on Balham Underground station. The torn-off shopfronts are where the TK Maxx is now.
My other stop before getting home was at the Lidl on the corner of my street. Why was there space to build a supermarket there in the first place? Because it was a bombsite.
London was a bombsite.
That’s every explosion in London during the Blitz.Around 10% of dropped bombs are estimated not to have exploded. They’re still digging them up all the time. Last year London City airport had to be closed down while two unexploded V2s were dealt with
There are areas in northeastern France which are still off-limits to humans because of the huge number of unexploded shells and mines the toxicity of the soil from World War One, called Red Zones.
War really fucks a place up.
I feel like people really don’t understand the difference between a war some county is waging somewhere else and a war that happen right on top of you.
Any bit of grassland or field you dig in Europe or in my example Poland will yield you some ammo or a piece of a bomb within first 15 min of digging.
There was this American show about treasure hunters working with metal detectors that wanted to shoot an episode here looking for some meteorites. They gave in after the first day because the detectors kept wailing non stop. They found a lot of ammo and rusted out guns.
It’s not just bombs, it’s also things like : oh, bus fell into a hole!
The hole turned out to be a secret ww2 bunker that nobody knew existed that caved in.
Happened in my city and someone just picked it up and put on the bin
Back in 2011, they went to add a new part to my town. And shortly after breaking ground they found 4 1000 pound bombs. And then another five. That was literally like, a few hundred metres behind my house. So logically they pulled out the ignition. And invited ppl to come look at them. Before eventually destroying them.
As it turns out a plane want down there, and it dumped it’s bombs there in a line.
Later they also found remains of Neolithic settlements there
a few years back, there was some construction work near me (as in, about 5 minutes walk away) that dug up about a 1-tonne bomb
it literally shook the house i was in when they detonated it, heh
there were also the times that my schools got evacuated because of nearby bombs being unearthed

Can we just… normalize teens loving their parents? Like obviously you’re not obligated to if your parents are shitty, but damn, I love my mom. She’s there for me all the time and sure we have rough patches but honestly she’s the greatest. Like. We need teens to know that they don’t have to hate their parents just cause.
It must be nice to come from a nonabusive family. One that doesn’t traumatized every emotional interaction to the point where you drive away any sign of love as a form of manipulation because that’s all that you were raised with. 🤷♀️
It is.
Reading Comprehension
but loving ur parents is already normalized and its the kids w/ abusive parents that actually have to deal with misunderstandings and ignorance from others regarding this topic.
Hey there, I’m talking about the trope where it’s seen as super uncool to like your parents that was literally pushed on teens through the media since the culture shift in the early 60s. The post has nothing to do with abusive parents. I was abused as a kid and honestly if the trope where teens have to hate their parents to be cool died, then kids with actual abusive parents would have an easier time recognizing abuse this has been a psa
“if the trope where teens have to hate their parents to be cool died, then kids with actual abusive parents would have an easier time recognizing abuse”
Teen with abusive parents: I hate my parents
Teen influenced by society: Me too mine are the worst
The takeaway for teen 1: This is normal and it’s supposed to be this way
The takeaway for teen 2: My friend’s parents are like mine
The takeaway for any adult listening: All kids who complain about their parents are just being rebellious
this is important
What if she was my least favorite but I’m still gay?
why everybody be tryna act like they didn’t have a twilight phase
You either had a twilight phase or you had an anti-twilight phase and in either case you invested emotion in twilight, your twilight phase
I had a phase where I started reading twilight and then stopped 25 pages in because I didn’t like it and then I was like “yeah people are right, Harry Potter is better”
I had high hopes for my 25 gram monster caterpillar from last year, and she did not dissapoint.
her largest child thus far has just 2 grams to go in order to reach her record
I’m so proud of her
Please tell me you named her Mothra
A fine warrior
that moment in a fic when two dumbasses are pining desperately for each other but they're clueless about each other's feelings and then someone assumes they're a couple and one of them goes all "hahaha no way!!! just friends!!" and then the other one is all "oh no they think that even the concept of dating me is funny :(" but in reality they were just trying to mask their own feelings > anything any man has ever written
Me irl though
