Me, for 100 episodes that amount to something like 16 straight DAYS of listening time (that's almost 25,000 minutes): shipping Shadowgast so hard. I've made a whole folder of all the fan art links I've collected of them as a happy nerdy couple.

The show, with 16 minutes left in the last episode: "Because obviously Caleb is a human and essek is an Elf, so they can only be a couple temporarily and then are friends when Caleb is an old man."

Me: is shocked. This has legitimately never occurred to me before. I weep on the floor with my cat.

Me, with all of my anxiety disorders: tries every method and medication and home remedy and weighted blankets and no-caffeine and etc and etc, but still struggles to fall asleep at night

My boyfriend: falls asleep while literally still holding the Nintendo switch mid-game

Me during episode 1 of Critical Role Campaign 2: oh thank goodness Liam OBrien is playing a dirty ginger hobo so I don't have to worry about falling in love with another femme bi sadboi

Me about 100 episodes in, awake til 4 am browsing Shadogast fan art: oh no

The Sims 4: Survey of British Literature Legacy Challenge (#BritishLitLegacy)

Generation 1: Beowulf

  • Bodybuilder Aspiration
  • Military Career – Officer Branch
  • Traits: Active, Bro, Loves the Outdoors

You are Beowulf, hero and future king of the Geats. You pride yourself in your strength and valor in combat. Your fellow Bro friends regularly call upon you to join them at the gym – and often at the karaoke bar, where the sounds of your merrymaking anger your nemesis, Grendel.

Neighborhood brawl is your favorite holiday. You always participate in it and must fight people until you win at least one brawl.
You answer when your friends come calling. Any time someone asks you to join them (at a bar, gym, festival, etc.), you must say yes unless you are at work or about to go to work. When you’re at the bar with others, you always order a round of Barley Bales for your group.
Max the singing skill. While singing karaoke, make an enemy. If/when that enemy dies, you must make one of their family members your new enemy.
In your youth/young adult days, you gained a lot of your athletic skill from swimming. So, you must always have a pool of at least 1x1 tiles on your lot, no matter how little money you have.
As you progress through the military career, prominently display your military medals in your home.

Psst. Everyone. I literally spent multiple days writing a Survey of British Literature Sims 4 Legacy Challenge. It’s probably the most niche crossover ever, but I hope someone out there will enjoy it!! 

the fuck is a resume bitch give me the job

Ain’t that the vampire baby from Twilight?

This is funnier than any joke told by 90 percent of the comedians out there

the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu

Blood is thicker than water The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Meaning that relationships formed by choice are stronger than those formed by birth.

Let’s not forget that “Jack of all trades, master of none” ends with “But better than a master of one.”

It means that being equally good/average at everything is much better than being perfect at one thing and sucking at everything else. So don’t worry if you’re not perfect at something you do! Being okay is better!

These made me feel better

Also, “great minds think alike” ends with “but fools rarely differ”

It goes to show that conformity isn’t always a good thing. And that just because more than one person has the same idea, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good idea.

what the fuck why haven’t i heard the full version to any of these 

“Birds of a feather flock together” ends with “until the cat comes.”

It’s actually a warning about fair-weather friends, not an assessment of how complementary people are.

I’ve always felt like these were cut down on purpose.

I really like these phrases and plan on spreading this knowledge.

The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I want to make designs out of these.

Funny how all the half-finished ones encourage uniformity and upholding the status-quo, while the complete proverbs encourage like…living exciting, eclectic lives driven by choice and personal passion.

NICE

The legendary thread is back

IT’S FUCKING BACK!!!!!!!!

This one is perfect for Tumblr: “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing…” ends with “drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again.”

So, it’s not that knowledge is dangerous, the emphasis is on having just a little knowledge.  Having just a cursory understanding of something causes overconfidence and potential to misunderstand, but when you really delve into a subject in depth you realize the full complexity of it.

Haven't been on here in ages but Twitter is The Actual Worst. So I may drop in here occasionally for fandom purposes, kitten purposes, or both :)
