Don't feel ashamed of doing "CHILDISH" things

•buy toys/dolls/crayons •play with Legos •play old videogames/dress up games •weave friendship bracelets •watch cartoons •use stickers •draw pics of your favorite characters

If it makes you feel nice, do it. Don’t even worry about what other people think, because it doesn’t matter–if it brings you happiness, it’s not “ridiculous”, or “immature”.

You deserve to enjoy yourself.

Let me share with you what I consider to be the most important less I’ve learned in my adult life:

“Growing up doesn’t mean you can’t have Zebra Cakes. Growing up simply means that, if you want to have Zebra Cakes, you buy them for yourself.”

“What the hell are you talking about, Bear?” Well, let me explain. For those of you who live outside of the US, this is a Zebra Cake:

It’s a little pre-packaged snack cake that is horribly cheap and junky and really not that great, but it is like manna from heaven to me. I fucking love these things. When I was a little kid growing up, my mom bought Zebra Cakes but once in a blue moon. They were intended to be put in mine and my siblings’ school lunches, but my brother and I would eat them whenever we wanted, so Mom just didn’t see the point. (They also used to be kind of expensive, at least for our family’s budget.) Needless to say, the coveted Zebra Cakes were a luxury for me, and were one of the tastes of my childhood.

Fast forward to my college years. I was living in an apartment with three other people, doing my own shopping and cooking. I was in the grocery store, picking up some stuff, and I happened to walk past a display of snack cakes. Among them were several boxes of Zebra Cakes.

I paused at this, chuckling to myself. Oh man. Zebra Cakes. I haven’t had those in years. I loved those when I was a kid. I reminisced happily and thought about how much I missed the taste of Zebra Cakes, then started to walk away.

And then I stopped dead.

Because I had realized that there was literally nothing stopping me from buying a box of Zebra Cakes. There was nothing stopping me from buying ten boxes of Zebra Cakes. If I wanted Zebra Cakes, I could have goddamn Zebra Cakes, because it was my money and my decision to make.

I put two boxes in my cart (they were 2 for $5) and never looked back.

Here’s the secret I learned that day: The idea of something being “just for kids” is, by and large, bullshit. What you do on your own adult free time with your own adult money is, by its very nature, adult stuff. It’s like comedian Eddie Izzard (who frequently performed his routines in drag) once said when someone asked about him wearing ‘women’s clothes’: “They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.”

I am 25 years old, and yesterday I bought myself a shark lunchbox. Look at it. Look at how awesome my lunchbox is.

Was this lunchbox intended to by bought for and used by a child? Yes. The tag said it was for ages 3 and up. But it was bought by and will be used by an adult, and anyone who thinks that’s wrong is probably just jealous that they don’t have the self-confidence to rock a shark lunchbox at 25.

So like. Being “mature” and “an adult” doesn’t mean you have to completely abandon the things that made you happy when you were younger. It just means that you may have to approach them in a different way. 

Pay attention, there’s a lesson here

I hesitated reblogging this, and I am not entirely sure why.

LEGO. I just turned 42 and I have LEGO sets allllll over my house. Why? Because I wanted them, and because it is my money and I will spend it how I like, MOTHER.

As long as you aren’t bankrupting yourself, buy the things you *want* to buy, the things that bring you JOY.

you are missing out on so much if you just stick to “adult things”

I still sleep with plushies

My Very Adult™ office in my apartment is decorated with Funko Pop figurines and Titans vinyls from my favorite fandoms. 💙

Be the kid your parents wouldn’t let you be, watch cartoons that make you laugh, eat the zebra cakes, read what you want (even if it’s Harry Potter again), pull your stuffed animals out of storage, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

And remember: they bribe ADULTS to vote with STICKERS

These are just too good

Ughhh me...

The signs and anger:

Aries: The smallest things can send them into a fit of fiery rage. They don’t thing about the ramifications of their anger, they simply act. But it burns out fast and they apologize easily. What angers them: indiscipline, disloyalty, to be bossed around, waiting, and anyone with a lack of decorum.

Taurus: Despite being the bull, Taureans are very hard to make angry. Their anger builds up little by little over long periods of time, each slight adding up, and finally erupting when you least expect it. On top of this, they don’t forgive easily and can be vindictive. What angers them: they don’t like to be wrong or to be called out about their mistakes, betrayal, aggressiveness, and interruptions when they are doing something important.

Gemini: They express their anger through words, and they know how to use them like knives. And what’s worse, they become eloquent and aggressive when furious. But this sign is known for diplomacy and logic, they don’t anger easily because of these characteristics, and their anger passes as quickly as it comes. What angers them: if they feel wronged, offended, close-mindedness, or dealing with someone who is particularly stupid.

Cancer: Like Taurus, Cancer’s anger builds up slowly until pushed to far, then they explode, letting all of those memories of past wrongs spill out. They sometimes will even cry, but don’t mistake this for guilt or anything else, they’re still furious. They sulk, lash out passive-aggressively, and sometimes withdraw entirely. What makes them angry: to be taken advantage of or treated in a way they don’t feel they deserve, cruelty.

Leo: Leos don’t feel anger - it’s pure rage. And, like the lion, they roar. They become so angry that they will insult you in any way they can, going for your weakest spots, “beneath the belt” you could say. And they become condescending, putting on their “kingly crown”. What’s worse, their pride and arrogance keep them from apologizing. What makes them angry: disrespect, dishonesty, disloyalty, to be bossed around, being forced to do unnecessary things.

Virgo: Virgos don’t like to express their anger so they do their very best to suppress it, usually trying the silent treatment, until they just can’t do it anymore. Because of this their anger can seem pointless and nonsensical. They also struggle to express themselves when angry, their words dissolve into a mess. Their anger develops like a Taurus and is as fiery as an Aries. What makes them angry: if they feel like they are being persecuted, disrespected, or like their opinions are being ignored, vulgarity, carelessness, and the revealing of personal secrets.

Libra: It’s hard to make a Libra angry, and Libra will actually think before letting their anger overcome them or control any of their actions; partially because they allow it to drag on for a long, long time, filing the wrongs away for future reference. They are the most diplomatic of the zodiac and this stays true even when furious. But they can justify their anger no matter what, and that makes it dangerous. What makes them angry: being undermined, rudeness, dishonesty, or unfair treatment towards anyone, not just themselves.

Scorpio: Scorpios become defensive and distant when angry because they want to keep themselves from tipping over the edge, they know how bad it will be if they explode. They tend to stick to glaring, sarcasm, and cruel comments when angry because they’re good at keeping their anger under control and they feel to let it show is a sign of weakness. Once angry, it’s hard for them to ever forgive and they often seek revenge. What makes them angry: disrespect, mind games, pettiness, people who are fake, if you try to give them advice, and to take them for granted.

Sagittarius: Sagittarians are already blunt people and when angry this aspect grows: they, like Geminis, use words to hurt those who anger them or start pointless arguments. Other times, they will simply leave, especially if they’re feeling trapped in some way. But their easy-going nature usually means their anger dies down quickly. What makes them angry: limited freedom or if someone tries to control them, to be insulted or pushed around.

Capricorn: Capricorn is orderly and controlled, they often don’t show their emotions, so when they become angry it can be a shock. Their anger erupts in bouts of yelling that cause scenes. They become authoritative, condescending, and even demanding. If it’s really bad, they will shut down and leave. If you’ve caused them one too many pains, you can kiss your relationship goodbye. What makes them angry: irrational or immature behavior, insincerity, an invasion of their personal space/time, unreliability, disrespect.

Aquarius: It’s hard to anger and Aquarian, they are calm and not easily instigated, not to mention they don’t like confrontation, but they can be as wrathful as an Aries. They typically express their anger through the silent treatment until they can’t hold it in anymore, then it turns into bouts of shouting and screaming before they leave the scene. What makes them angry: prejudice or intolerance, being told how to live their lives or for their way of life to be outright insulted, cruelty.

Pisces: Because Pisces are so in touch with their emotions, it’s easy for them to become angry and for that anger to show but at the same time very hard for them to truly become furious. Because of their emotions they do have great sympathy and do their best to talk it out and if that doesn’t work they seek solitude. At the worst, they blank out and go into a blind fury, their amazing imagination fueling the drama. What makes them angry: inconsiderate people, cruelty, criticism, and to be pressured to do something.

That is so true, I'm a Leo and I can be a real b!tch when I get angry. But I usually do feel bad afterwards, not all the time but I do usually apologize. Whether I mean it or not is a different topic for another time. 😏😋🖤

Tiny dirty stray kitten hanging out at the bottom of our stairs since yesterday. There are a lot of self-reliant ferals around our apartment, but this little thing was dirty & covered in burrs. We gave it some chicken but couldn’t catch it. I think it may have wandered over from the outdoor cat hoarder colony down the street; that house is awful & we saw kittens there last week.

This morning the downstairs neighbor managed to grab it for us, and I put it on this cozy towel & started combing and picking the burrs & sticks out of its fur. It calmed down immediately and has been chilling here with me in the kitchen ever since. Got a vet appointment in an hour to get my little buddy cleaned up & checked out. I hope it isn’t too sick; I think it might have a cold.

If we can, we are probably going to keep her.

What a difference a day makes! Took this little guy to the vet, got the fleas and dirt washed off him, got some antibiotics for a slight cold, but he is otherwise fine. Kneading and purring up a storm, eating a lot and being heart-crushingly adorable. 

We have named this glorious creature Nux.

A little over a month later and Nux is growing into a very long and floppy shoulder cat!

Oh my god!!!!

i’m so happy for this cat i hope nux knows im proud of him

I just told him!

Thank you for sharing your story and showing pictures of Nux because it reminded me of my old cat, Bobo. Actually, it looked quite similar to him in the last image, when he was looking up at the camera and it reminded me of what his face looked like. Especially his eyes... so thank you so, so much.

Did y'all forget Tony’s original son ?

Cause he didn’t forget him…

I just watched End Game for the first time last night and I still want to die. It was basically a waterfall during and after the movie. There was even one or two happy sobs but it was mostly painful and horrid sobs of sadness...😭

REBLOG IF YOU AGREE

I AM ATTRACTED TO FICTIONAL CHARACTERS LITERALLY ONLY FICTIONAL CHARACTERS AND HAVE NO SHAME BY THIS POINT

I SO AGREE WITH THIS. I HAVE MULTIPLE FICTIONAL BAES THAT ARENT EVEN FROM THE SAME FANDOM. Loki Laufeyson, Bucky Barnes, Cisco Ramon and (young) Kurt Wagner are at the top of my list only cuz I like them the most and the only I can remember off of the top of my head XD

I am in love with and attracted to so many fictional characters, it's freaking unbelievable! I sometimes wish that reachable reality mirrored fiction, like the people or places around us. Now, I know that there are very beautiful people living in far away places exactly like some of the fictional characters but I cannot reach them nor can I marry them. So I stay with my beautiful and amazing fictional characters until I can, with absolutely no shame nor regret! 😋

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

It’s funny how y'all will reblog any and all US things but when whole Europe might lose access to internet then everything is quiet.

Are you fucking serious? Is this really happening? I’m European and I didn’t know a single thing about this

Reblog if you say "Y'all"

When you’re hit by a brilliant idea for a plot point

But it’s for a chapter that like, 10ish chapters away.

Me every single time.

And it doesn’t need to be 10 chapters away, its usually the ending! Sometimes I write backwards….

Or at the middle/end of a one-shot you’re just starting writing.

This is pretty well why I don’t write chaptered fics lol.

I think this happened to @medicatemedrmccoy and her Beauty and the Beast story!!

Meeeeeeeeeee

That is seriously me!

remember that sasuke figurine that could hold up like literally fucking anythign

I’ve always liked Tom Hiddleston but this just made me fall in love with him

I’m not gonna lie, my eyes got a little blurry.

His parents should write a book about parenting, cuz I wanna know whether they hired a sorcerer to make sure their child comes out right.

FOREVER REBLOG

I think this should be added - he is a gentleman in the truest sense of the word:

(source)

Most definitely! I would have fell down those stairs in those heels!!

THIS MAN IS TOO GOOD TO BE REAL

How the fuck is any boy supposed to live up to my expectations now?

@thorkiwaters no one ever will. I give up. There’s only one Tom and I can’t have him. I’ll just die alone then.

@thorkicraving Well… we can always have girls lol

My inner Jeff Goldblum is crying just as much as I am rn

THIS is why Hiddles is my idol. Not only is he an amazing actor, but he really is a true gentleman and an amazing human being. I aspire to be just as good a person as he is in every way and I hope that one day I will achieve that.

A REAL MAN, THE PRINCE I’LL FOREVER STAN EVERYBODY

This is officially my all time favorite post<3333

The loml, everyone.

Fruits Basket: 1st Season (2019) ED

Okay so literally every one if those blue rose motherfuckers can go to hell. Not only did they completely wipe their memories including their names and the fact that they’re werewolves. But they ROBBED THEM blind!!! Like WTF! After we just saved your asses from your own fucking Magus who turned batshit? Fuck The Order including Alyssa for doing that shit. I hope they get a season 2 so Lilith can eat their hearts.

Okay, I’m done.
