call me bee! this is my main blog, it’s full of my favorite anime, art, books, funny things, and more. i <3 mutuals so don’t be afraid to reach out or follow me :)

my blog is a safe space for everyone! i will not give terfs or anyone who hates on lgbtqia+, race, ethnicity, etc, a platform. you will be blocked!

Sudden wave of an immense love for humanity has hit me once again…

We all exist together… that’s pretty neat…

i want to be so kind it echoes backwards in time and undoes the things that hurt you. i want to be so kind it radiates from me. i want to be so kind that i make someone else find faith in humanity again. there’s not much i can do, i’m small and weak and i only know so many words. but i know i can be kind. and sometimes, i believe, that changes the world.

Lil Adventure Time things I appreciate

- Finn’s autotune voice

- that rubbery balloon noise of Jake’s stretching

- the slang

- Ice King wants to marry female versions of Finn & Jake and everyone’s just chill abt it. His fanfic’s outta control

- so. Many. NICKNAMES.

- rich backgrounds, esp how background details often add a lot to the setting or even tell stories

- use of real-life songs & such

- Finn & Jake brought abt the destruction of an intergalactic jailhouse, freeing dozens of scumbag criminals and it is never mentioned again

- Jake met his biological dad and he was a filicidal asshole so Jake threw him into a black hole

- p much everyone in this show is a parent in some way, shape or form

- Jake’s see-thru pants

- blimby who gots da abcs

- how Finn & Jake--esp Finn--are well aware of PB’s questionable deeds but are just like “she’s cool, tho”

- the treehouse just has all this weird ancient shit and otherworldly creatures inside it. plus everyone always breaks into/hides in the treehouse

- the snail

- NEPTR just hangs around and gets shit on

- “MMMM CHECK PLEASE”

- Ice King’s demonic wishing eye (& ghost pouch)

- how ice king and the penguins are real dicks to each other sometimes

- all the penguin names are just variations of “Gunther”

- Gunther is a fucking all-powerful extraterrestrial monster in penguin form

- Jake’s “I love you” at the very end of elements...

- Finn cakes

- Doctor princess

- the world was already pretty weird before the mushroom war

- those lil creatures that live in smart ppl’s clothes and according to the wiki apparently feed on brain waves

- that squirrel that hates Jake

- Peppermint Butler's rly fucked up

- the way to open a portal to the land of the dead is just to look at a room corner and cross your eyes (whilst holding hands w/ a fucked up candy person ig)

- knife storms

- that Finn scream. Y’know the one

- that brief period where Ice king was living in the treehouse, plus how Jake kept forgetting that

- Finn’s long john pjs, plus the fact that he sleeps in a sleeping bag ON his bed

- wizard eeeeeyes

- 4 ppl who’ve worn the crown: Simon, Gunther the dino, some Norse guy and fuckinG SANTA CLAUS

- Billy’s crack and how it always must be referred to as such

- how the wildberry ppl are carnivores

- james's tiny mom

- lards

- tree trunks’s mom is just an older, hornier version of tree trunks

- how all the martians are just named “___ man”

- going (to the) dentist in Ooo means being dropped down a well with snakes and butter and having to work for the ant army in exchange for dental service

- how Finn will be all obsessive over stuff like the Enchiridion, NEPTR, the ancient psychic tandem war elephant, etc. for like 1 ep and then just toss them aside

- the “the past” room

- how ice king flies with his beard (and apparently can’t fly without it)

- there's a character whose whole thing is spanking his underlings bc it fills him with real power

you have to get yourself out of bad places. you need to resist the temptation to let everything slip and become apathetic & cynical toward yourself and your life. you need to accept that it takes time to change and it’s ok to fall over as long as u get back up. every morning is a new start and things don’t have to be this way forever. you can heal and you can change.

people bitching about the usage of "too modern" words in fantasy or historical fiction is sometimes justified, but ultimately I think it's a waste of time because

  • all words exist within a specific time frame and it's pointless to avoid the fact that you're writing with the language of your own time
  • which words are actually "newer" than other words is sometimes wildly unintuitive

according to the dates given in the Oxford English Dictionary, if you wrote a book set in 1897, you could have your characters say "fuckable," (1889) "sexy" (1896) "uncomfy" (1868) "hellacious" (1847) "dude" (1877) "all righty" (1877) and "heck" (1887), but not "wiggly" (1932) "moronic" (1910) "uptight" (1934) "lowbrow" (1901) "fifty-fifty" (1913) "burp" (1932) "bagel" (1898) or use the word "rewrite" as a noun (1901)

Some more words where the date of their first known usage just Doesn't Sound Right:

  • hangry, as in the portmanteau of 'hungry' and 'angry' (1912)
  • dildo (1590)
  • yucky (1970)
  • grungy (1965)
  • freebie (1925)
  • shitty (1768)
  • boost (1815)
  • boss (1856)
  • TGIF, as in Thank God It's Friday (1941)
  • yay (1963)

Fucked up (1863) is much older than fuck you (1943) but older still is the now-obscure fucked out (1862) which means what it sounds like—exhausted from too much sex.

OMG is first recorded being used in a letter to Winston Churchill, if I recall correctly.
