actually the seven deadly sins are:

  1. waking girls up from their nap
  2. making girls go to work
  3. thinking girls' full bush is unattractive
  4. interrupting girls when they're listening to their favorite album
  5. not helping girls spread rumors and lies
  6. not letting girls cannibalize you
  7. not letting girls sacrifice you in a blood ritual

“do it for the vine” = allow yourself to live life in the moment instead of maintaining a facade of normalcy for the enjoyment of not only yourself but of those around you

“commit to the bit” = adhere to the guidelines of an event that will in retrospect be nothing but a minuscule footnote, but continue to execute it for the complex web of happiness it brings you and your collective now

“fuck it we ball” = get the most you can out of life by putting the very thrill of being alive first and everyday occurrences and responsibilities last

worst thing people did was turn the incredibly personal experience of being lgbt into strict definitions and rules and then ridicule and harass others who don't fit into their neat boxes, as if that isn't what we were trying to run away from this whole time.

Making friends with people from other countries is so crazy. I sent my group chat a Big Bird gif.

And this one girl says, “why isn’t he blue?”

I’m like, the fuck you mean??

So today I learned that in the Dutch version of Sesame Street, they do, in fact, have a blue Big Bird.

I was baffled by this so I went on Muppets Wiki and guess what.

In Mexico, Big Bird is green and his name is Abelardo.

Turkish Big Bird (aka Minik Kus) is apparently fucking orange.

This looks like a fuckin alternate universe or smth. I can’t.

Actually, in the Mexican version (which is the one I saw here in Colombia, and was probably streamed in other countries in Latin America) we had both the yellow and the green bird. That is because Abelardo (the green bird) is the Mexican cousin of Big bird. Initially it was supposed to be the Mexican version of Big Bird, but then it was decided to leave both characters and make them cousins to help explain the kids about the migration wave between USA and Mexico in the 90s

There is even a chapter of the show were Abelardo travels to the US to visit his cousin Big Bird

Later, they decided that all the different birds, from all the versions around the world, would be "cousins" too, with the idea of showing the diversity of cultures and teach the kids about unity and acceptance against racism and discrimination

Sorry sorry hold on sorry. sorry????

Cookie Monster’s name in Spanish is LUCAS EATSCOOKIES????

what if i told u that the miscommunication trope was my guilty pleasure and i filter fics by that tag because i love it so much. what if i told you reading about silly gay people have completely avoidable, dramatic misunderstandings is my favourite pass time. what then

underrated Heartstopper moment: Nick's little smile after Darcy puts "we're such meddling gays and I love it" on the group chat because yeah. the feeling of being surrounded by other queer people for the first time and being able to make jokes about it knowing that you're in a safe space. knowing the people around you Get It for the first time. finding a place where queerness is lighthearted when it feels so overwhelming when you first discover it. its such a specific queer experience and I felt so seen in that moment.
