This is one of those posts where I feel like I'm doing others and myself a disservice by not sharing. I wish someone had shown me this a long time ago.

Maybe I'd be having to do less work to break out of this shell, now.

...All of the above.

Tell your truth, and don't be afraid to have it be heard... because this is not a dress rehearsal.

It's difficult when you've spent years being a "good person", a "exceptional one" and the first time you complain, people left you. Even some of the ones who say they loved you. But once the fake people leave you, the trustful ones will be able to enter.

sorry babe I'm gonna be running a bit late, I started watching a video essay about all the problems inherent to a game I've never played

awesome gives me time to watch this video essay talking about themes in a film i've never watched

I’ve made this post like six times but it still fucks me up the China’s mountains just look like that. Like I spent decades thinking it was stylistic but no, they just have different mountains over there.

For reference, here’s what my local mountains look like:

Here’s the general art style Chinese mountains are drawn in:

And here’s how some of them actually look:

What the FUCK

I’m specifically reblogging this here because I know there is a geological reason for this and I know at least one of you has to know it.

thank you 

To be clear, karst is a type of topography, not a mountain.

In Japan you’ll find limestone pinnacles, but karst is often heavy in sink holes and caves. It depends a lot on the weather and availability of water.

Here are some fun diagrams to explain the landforms!

begging some of you to watch any asian media

bro. how the fuck did you think i found out about the mountains.

i hate the “on average a user only sees 25 posts per session so they have to be good and varied” bullshit on that staff post. if i open tumblr and the 25 posts i see are nothing but a single mutual mass reblogging their favourite thing that i couldn’t care less about. well. that’s what i enjoy

When I was a kid, my dad hated when I hung up anything on my walls. My art, band posters, movie posters, anything. Not with taxks, not with tape (it “ripped the paint off”) not with anything. At one point in 5th or 6th grade he came in my room and found me hanging up a Diary of a Wimpy Kid poster with tacos and he was like “EVERY HOLE YOU PUT IN THE WALL TAKES $10 OFF THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE.” so when I was mad at him, I’d insert tacks into the wall in places he couldn’t easily see just out of spite. Whoever owns the house now is probably wondering about it.

bro didn’t even know you could just fill holes with toothpaste 💀

I know this is about an owned house (that you should be touching up and repainting the walls of before reselling anyway???) but for ppl who are paranoid about putting holes in rental walls: don’t be. Put up posters. Shelving if you need it. Have hanging plants. Invest in a studfinder. Spackle kits are cheap and everywhere now, or you can use white toothpaste, glue, or even soft air-dry clay to fill holes. Scuffs and rub marks are considered normal wear and tear and landlords can’t charge you for them. Most places will have you fill holes but will have to repaint between tenants anyway, so even if the spackle doesn’t match the walls, it’s not a big deal. Check your state laws about what is considered normal wear and tear. Most states have laws covering everything from paint to flooring. For instance, in my state, carpet that is 3+ years old is considered past its normal life cycle and therefore any damage to it cannot be charged for because the landlord/management is expected to put in new carpeting. Before any move-out, check local laws considering paint, flooring, light fixtures, appliances, etc. Landlords and management companies make BANK on people not knowing that they’re paying for paint rubs that they’re painting over anyway and carpet that has been paid for 6 times over.

use cooked rice to fill the holes. doesn't shrink the way toothpaste does.

It’s weird buying something nowadays online while checking reviews cuz there’s always that thought “this isn’t a real, genuine review.” I’m tryna get an electric bike and want to see the best reviewed ones but the skepticism capitalism has imbued in me makes me not want to trust anything.

You search up “product” reviews and get recommendations sponsored by whoever the hell makes “product”
