they're never driving again

not to sound like a boomer but I miss when video games included manuals with maps and some small trivia about the characters

this is what I'm talking about

I miss when you could buy them and hold them in your hand instead of being forced to Google shit and scroll through a billion ads on IGN or some shit to hope that whatever you need is not only there but written well enough that you can actually understand it

Unlocked childhood memory: buying a new game in the store, and then on the drive home, opening up the clamshell case to pull out and read the instruction manual with my brother.

This is gonna sound corny as hell, but I think the thing that still makes me so fucking obsessed with OFMD isn't just that it's a great queer story, it's that everyone involved takes so much pride in telling a queer story.

The time when the cast and crew would openly mock fans who wanted to see queer storylines in their work was not long ago at all. The way mainstream shows like Supernatural and Sherlock talked down to queer fans who wanted to see themselves represented in their work was not unique. It used to be common for the cast and crew of these shows to talk about queer fan works as something shameful.

And in OFMD, the queerness isn't just part of the story, it's a major point of pride. The cast and crew never, not once, talk down to queer fans. Ed and Stede's love story is the point of the show. Characters do drag and it's beautiful and joyous. There's a canon nonbinary character whose gender isn't made into their only personality trait.

And our cast and crew love this show and take pride in it. Rhys says Stede was the role he was born to play. Taika talks about how he loves being a "gay icon" and how he's chuffed to find fan art of Ed and Stede. Vico talks about how Jim's story resonates with them. Samba is on set to film bts of scenes he's not even in, just because he loves the show so much. The queerness is an integral part of the show and everyone loves it.

It's just so, so special.

Good morning Mr. Jigsaw I noticed that this trap has a time limit of 60 minutes but as per my accommodations through the school Center of Disability Resources I get time and a half on exams and quizzes is that still something I can apply to this game right now? Thank you for understanding have a nice day

How are we all feeling about Aziraphale’s last “I forgive you”? Does it mean I forgive you for kissing me to try to get me to stay, I forgive you for choosing this moment to reveal your feelings, I forgive you for not coming with me, I forgive you for kissing me period??? What?

I keep going back and forth on it and I NEED to hear what everyone else is thinking. Lay it on me, I’m open to new interpretations because everything hurts and I’m dying.

Does Nimona have a gender??? Cause like... At one point she says "But I'm not a girl, I'm a shark." Plus she turns into a boy and when Ballister says "Now you're a boy," she says, "For today." Like... She's a shapeshifter. When she's asked what she is, she just says, "I'm Nimona." Does she not have a gender?? Does she just use she/her cause it's easier? Cause other people think she's a girl?

Matchablossom in their teenage delinquent era

(They are so Barbie and Ken coded)

I was thinking today how there needs to be a lot of solidarity between people with OCD and people with disorders that cause them to experience psychosis. Because not only can OCD cause genuine psychosis in some situations, but essentially the only reason (like 90% of the reason) why I have OCD and not a psychosis disorder is because I know what my OCD tells me is not real. If I didn't understand what my OCD tells me isn't real, then my OCD thoughts would probably be considered delusions. And despite knowing my OCD is lying to me, I still have to follow what it tells me to do

reptiles really went off with basking on warm rocks. i’ve done it before and honestly? it fucks

hey do you guys remember when hitting the new post button took you to an entirely different page

was very close to writing a longish post on how dating norms could be improved before i realized it could be summarized by "dating norms need to get autisticer"

honestly drawing a blank here

adhd is so embarrassing ur basically like “I have to have fun right the fuck now or I’m throwing myself off the roof” 90% of the time and you also have very little control over this

New wacky romance manga: A teenage boy gets locked in a bomb shelter with his crush after a false alarm for a nuclear war. The boy later finds out about the alarm being false but he tells the girl the world ended because she said she'll only ever date him "if he was the last man on Earth".

New disturbing psychological horror manga: A teenage girl gets locked up in a bomb shelter with one of her classmates after the world ends in a nuclear war. Despite her reservations, the two start to get closer. But there's something off about the whole situation. And her classmate is definitely hiding something.

Notes pointing out that this plot has been done, failing to consider OP is suggesting that there should actually be two concurrent series framed from these two perspectives, or maybe one and then the other or alternating.

do kids these days know about grace kelly by mika

WHAT. IS. THIS. SORCERY.

1. i can’t believe there are people in the world who haven’t heard this

2. go check out mika he’s great - important to note is that he’s mlm (he’s come out alternately as being gay, bisexual and ‘not interested in labels’ for a while) and a huge amount of his songs are about being mlm so in particular if ya need good mlm artists check him out

Seriously Mika is a gift and sunshine unto this sick sad world

mika is wildly popular in europe but his north american fanbase is like, six people and a napkin, and it’s killing me. 

ALSO, he came out as bisexual/‘not interested in labels’ like a decade ago, but much more recently he came out as gay, so he’s gay! his latest album, No Place In Heaven, is almost completely about being gay. it’s got a song abt his sexuality and his religion, a song abt pining for your straight best friend, a song abt the music world that includes the lyrics “where have all the gay guys gone?”, a song abt gay and lesbian solidarity, a song abt heterosexual expectations from family, and two songs that are just abt being super ridiculously in love w your partner.

please listen to Mika’s entire discography because there are a LOT of classics that i’m 100% sure you’ve heard at some point in your life, all the love songs are implicitly gay, it’s great, but ESPECIALLY listen to No Place In Heaven (2015).

it always surprises me to remember that mika isn’t actually a part of the global populace’s general consciousness

because his debut album, life in cartoon motion, was such a huge part of my generation’s tween and teen years

like, i guarantee you, you can walk up to any swedish millennial, and they will still know every single line of his song lollipop

it was just a part of our upbringing;

This is the song of his I remember being popular here in Ireland, Love Today!

I LOVE MIKA

Grace Kelly was such a big song for me… It’s hard for me to believe it’s considered an older song now. Bless, Mika. He’s just a wonderful person.

He also has a vocal range of FOUR octaves.

The average is about 1.5-2 octaves.

men b like wow I’ve never met a girl who liked music before..

You obviously know nothing about men if this is what you think they say

Men will see a mouse and eat it

No they won’t because why would anyone eat a mouse that’s stupid not all men are bad and not all men are stupid you may have had a bad experience with a man but not all men are bad granted there bad men but instantly accusing all men as bad is immature I’m dating a man and he is nowhere near stupid and I know for a fact that he won’t eat a mouse and in pretty sure I could name at least five other men that won’t do something as immature as that and saying that a man will see a mouse and eat it won’t get you a anywhere with a man if anything it will drive them away.

A man will see a mouse and be like is anyone else gonna eat this and not wait for an answer
