“A sudden rainstorm forces them together beneath a canopy. They look into each others eyes and realize they were made for each other.”

“People would gather and do some formal dancing and then realize they had misunderstood each other and were actually deeply in love.”

“One fabulous kiss and we’re good.”

“I forgive you.”

“Don’t bother.”

I truly think this is the best "made for media" song of the 2010's. And while anything from Phineas and Ferb is TOUGH competition, there's simply so much raw emotion in this song. I feel like I'd get emotional even if I'd never watched the show and heard this completely unaware of the context and backstory. It's so powerful and heart wrenching. Thank you, Deedee & Rebecca

I feel like Matchbox 20 reminds me that it's okay to be emotional. That word -"emotional"- it's not a bad word. Feelings are normal and sometimes it's okay to just sit with your feelings. It's always an unexpected but welcome reminder. I often find myself feeling really at peace with myself and unintentionally kinda zenned out listening to them. Just taking 3 minutes or so for myself, to breathe, to calm myself, to let my mind wander, to simply sit and be, to feel whatever I need, and it's really, really nice. So thanks, Matchbox 20. It's okay to have emotions, and it's more than normal to be someone who feels. Thank you <3

Wherever you are Kody, I hope you're okay now 🖤

top surgery tip 1)

get yourself used to sleeping on your back (and possibly elevated depending on your surgeon) BEFORE surgery.

top surgery tip 2)

have cough drops on hand because your throat will probably be sore from the breathing tube they use with anesthesia.

Top surgery tip 3)

Get and use straws. You'll have T-Rex arms for a while but you still need to hydrate.

top surgery tip 4)

the post surgery compression binder is more comfortable than youd think but it still gets pretty itchy. so dont be afraid to take benydryl, itll help you rest and stop the itch

top surgery tip 5)

sounds weird but try not to flex your pecs… watched a horror game play through and every time there was a jump scare my whole body tensed up including my pecs which hurt like a bitch

Top surgery tip 6)

Have hand sanitizer/ body wipes incase you cannot reach across sinks easily and to also put under your armpits if you cannot get deodorant there

top surgery tip 7)

you might be numb in some areas affected by the surgery. especially if your surgeon does any liposuction along with just cutting your boobs off. right now my armpits are numb which makes cleaning them weird. less of a tip and more its normal for early in recovery

top surgery tip 8)

about a week in stuff starts to feel like pins and needles. i thought that meant my one nipple was falling off. turns out its the opposite and its them coming back to life. the post op compression binder while annoying does help the tingling feel less weird

top surgery tip 9)

you surgeon may be ripped to hell and back like mine and put the compression binder on super tight. ITS OK TO LOOSEN IT A LITTLE.

its there for compression to keep the swelling down but same rules apply as a regular binder: it might be a little uncomfortable and feel tight but you need to still be able to BREATHE

top surgery tip 10)

invest in a long pair of tongs or one of those claw grabber things. i just made ramen that was in a cabinet above the microwave. how? tippy toes and tongs.

Top surgery tip 11)

You can buy little hair net looking guys at some major pharmacies that include shampoo and can be used to wash your hair in bed if you’re having trouble in the shower

(This is a general surgery tip but all my disabled friends swear by ‘em post surgery it makes your life much easier and you can feel properly clean)

top surgery tip 12) it’s okay to sleep on the couch or in a chair if it’s too difficult or painful to get in and out of bed. My couch plus a pile of throw pillows on either side of me was the perfect place to sit and simmer as I recovered. I also recommend getting one of those airplane pillows that go around your neck. very useful if you end up sleeping sitting up and don’t want your neck to crick.

top surgery tip 13)

when it comes to scar care. anything is better than nothing. and you dont need to shell out hundreds of dollars for fancy scar creams. to massage your scars as long as everythings properly closed you can just grab an gentle unscented or naturally scented lotion and use that. shea butter, cocoa butter, bio oil the like. youre just looking for something for sensitive skin and thatll keep them hydrated.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I refuse to believe Rhodey was switched at Civil War.

Refuse.

I don't care if it looks like he's wearing a hospital gown. Nope. No.

As far as I'm concerned, a little after TFATWS, Rhodey went in for a yearly check up or something. Maybe an xray to check on his legs. Then the Skrulls captured him and stole his leg brace things and that's why he couldn't stand up by himself.

I REFUSE to accept any earlier.

What? Is Marvel suggesting that Skrull Rhodey fought in Wakanda, spent the 5 Blip years working with the Avengers, did the Time Heist, bonded with Nebula, watched Tony die, and supported Sam with the shield?

IS THAT WHAT YOUR SAYING, MARVEL!?

Nope. No.

I cannot stress this enough: queer people don’t care if kids aren’t queer. What we do care about is queer children becoming queer adults and not dying before they get there. It really is that simple. Any additional context you’ve added to justify your bigotry is your own fiction.

I REALLY DON'T want to find out that some of our favorites have been Skrulls for years. I don't want the last appearances of Maria Hill to come out as not actually her. That's not fair. Or that Rhodey's been a Skrull since pre-Endgame. I love Marvel but that's too big a surprise. If they do that, that's a fuck up... It's just not fair to fans that have loved these characters and so many others (if they're Skrulls, who else is?? Strange??? Old Man Steve??? Hank Pym? Laura Barton????). We've gone through adventures and cared for these like fictional people. Don't fuck with what they mean to hundreds of thousands of people. Yeah it's fantasy but that's not to say it doesn't mean anything

i’m gonna make a movie where two normal ladies fall in love. everything’s chill, no age gap, they’re both out of the closet, their families love them, everything’s fine. the catch is that one lady has a cat and the other lady never figured out what the cat’s name was cause the Owner Lesbian ALWAYS uses a dumb nickname and now it’s been three years and they’re getting married and it’s too late to just ask

It’s garnering more and more urgency because the cat’s importance is growing (the cat is going to be the ring bearer, oh no!)

The First Lady asks her fiancé if they should get a fancy collar with the cats name for the wedding and her fiancé throws her arms around her and says “great, would you go do that tomorrow?”

the longer i think about it the more that sounds like a valid conflict to base an entire movie around and the fewer problems i could think of that cant have a solid writing solution available

“Just wanted to confirm the spelling before I gave the order, hun. This shit is costly and I only got one form.”

“Oh, just the normal spelling, no crazy vowels or anything.”

This is so good. Plus it’s not like you can try out likely names and see if the cat responds, like a dog might. It’s a cat. It’s just gonna sit and squint unblinkingly at you regardless, no matter how many names you try.

Plot twist:

It’s not a stupid nickname.

The cat really is “miss kitty.”

Y E S

no no no. the cat doesn’t have a name, the cat owner never decided on one so she just goes with various silly nicknames. but since her fiancée acts like she is aware of the cat’s name, the cat owner assumes the fiancée mistook one of the nicknames for the actual name. but she doesn’t know which! so the cat owner doesn’t know what the supposed cat name is either, and relies on the fiancée revealing it at some point, but it never comes and she’s getting agitated too because she doesn’t want to admit she never named her cat

Hey hey hey in a similar vein to ^^^

What if

Neither if then know the name

Because it’s neither of their cat.

The cat decided to move in about the same time one of the girls did. Both think it’s the other one’s cat. Both are committing these increasingly elaborate shenanigans to figure out the name from the other.

The true wlw miscommunication romcom we deserve

The Cat: I like these humans. They are idiots and also adorable. I think I’ll stay here.
