@mythicalmind39

call that a lobsled :D

I could never have children because what if I had a son. And he remained a son, cisgender son. And he had no interest in other men what so ever, cisgender heterosexual son. And he was really, really, really into sports. Cisgender heterosexual son who makes me sit through a 3 hour baseball game. And we don’t have any interests in common whatsoever because he is also into cars and video games and absolutely nothing else. And, oh God, what if he’s really into Marvel movies too? What if he converts to Mormonism or something and by some strange evil, I have a Mormon, cisgender, heterosexual, baseball playing, car guy, Marvel fan son who plays the most boring video games known to man. Skin crawling thinking about this dude I have just created in my mind.

What I will always love about Over the Garden Wall, and what to me really makes it an autumn classic, is how the show presents the season as a transition. People like to say it’s a Halloween show, but it’s really an autumn show, autumn in all its faces.

Early in the show, we have autumn as the late, lingering summer. The fields are full, leaves cling to the branches. The world is painted in a greenish-gold, and it feels warm and rich and good.

And over the course of the show we lose that bit of summer. The colours bleach out. The mists come in. The harvest dances and music are done.

And by the end of the show, we get autumn as the harbinger of the coming season. Summer is long behind us. The long winter is ahead.

And I think it’s so appropriate that the show first premiered in November. When else are we more aware of how much the season has changed than when we are past smiling September and October and find ourselves with grey, patient November, watching the days get shorter and the nights grow longer.

i had a dream this morning that the newest thing was that when you changed the channel on the TV you'd get a text that said "we noticed you changed the channel! would you mind giving us a rating?" with a link and then if you turned off the TV you'd get another that said "did you mean to turn off the TV? we miss you!" and i really don't think we're far off from that

telling your online friends "wait there i'm coming" is funny regardless of the distance that you are from them. if they're within driving distance it has the humor of being a real possibility and if they're overseas it's funny because how are you getting there. especially if it's a limited time event. one of my personal favorites is saying i'm walking in their general direction

musicians rely on cheap dirty tricks to make consumers give them money, such as using instruments to vibrate the air in a pleasing way

β€œevery painfully normal woman is worth 10 painfully normal men” and I completely stand by that. Also, I’ve found painfully average women often have other things going on under the surface, more depth and more personality than they’re willing to show the world. Trying to get a seemingly boring guy to open up is like pulling teeth but seemingly boring women love to surprise you with secret hobbies or unexpected worldviews or unusual interests. Sometimes you’re pleasantly surprised, sometimes you find out this seemingly normal mom of 3 is quietly evil.

You should be able to carefully peel off minutes you accidentally wasted in your life and reuse them like stickers

got a habit of referring to my brain in a weird third person sense. "my brain just gave me this idea" "my brain is telling me this" like yeah that's my me (#myme) but im not in charge here im like the copilot at best.
