my mum just called "scrolling on Tumblr" "scrumbling"
we should consider that your mum is correct
there's been a couple of people who agreed that it should catch on and become a word, so maybe you're right 🤔
just scrumbled past this
Been scrumbling for a while. Glad I saw this.
you can't do this to me
yes we can 😌
NOOOOOO
you ever think about how many transmascs in 2016 would have named themselves after taako if justin had named him something less ridiculous than fucking *taco*?
Having a special interest will have me saying shit like "this pizza is like the one from Breaking Bad"
Cheers to everyone who is coming up on or has already entered their hobbit era! May the years bring you many new adventures! But be wary of hot elves!
And happy 24th birthday Dipper and Mabel!
gotta say I am a huge sucker for how Adventure Time will sometimes just cut to Princess Bubblegum doing something extremely morally dubious like cutting off a tiny person’s limbs with scissors and then sticking those arms and legs onto another tiny person’s limb stumps but then she'll turn around and go like "Good morning, Finn! Are you ready for a sploinking day?" and whatever atrocities she had just been committing will Never be brought up again.
I've been confused for my own mother before (buying something with a credit card with my deadname on it, having a doctor's office receptionist double-check that I am the patient and not calling on his behalf because I "sounded more mature" on the phone and parents can't make appointments for adults), but I think the funniest wrong conclusion I've had strangers make about trans things I've had around was this time I was putting my old shit up at a flea market. I was selling stuff at a "this shit's gotta go before I'm about to move and I'm not hauling these back to another city"-price, and this old man who apparently frequented there to find stuff that's actually valuable being sold at such prices came to have a look at the goods while I was setting them up.
He was interested in some of my dishware, and asked politely if he could have a look at them while I was unpacking, and chatting with me while he waited for me to be done since he couldn't buy them before I was done (I let him have dibs, but the cash register wouldn't ring them up before I was all set). He apparently noticed that some of my silverware that I'd gotten as graduation gifts and literally never used had my old name engraved on them, but he didn't say anything about that.
But when I put up my old graduation dress - which wasn't worth much, cheap fake silk but it was a nice cut - he remarked "she must've left in a hurry to leave that behind." Since the finnish language doesn't have gendered pronouns, I didn't immediately make the connection that he was referring to someone female before he gestured at the dress. Once it clicked, I figured the best course of action was to just nod that yeah, she's not coming back for those and I'm not keeping them.
Dude had concluded that my deadname must be an ex that dumped my ass so fucking fast she didn't even pack her silverware or nice clothes.
Hey, don't cry. Five thousand fanfic daydream scenarios inside your head about the super-obscure fictional character you've latched onto like an orphaned duckling, okay?

Add onto this the constant feeling of being overwhelmed. You didn’t get the laundry done yesterday and now there are piles of it. You forgot to take out the chicken so now you’re trying to throw something together for dinner at 9 pm. You forgot to order your prescription and now it’s the weekend so you’re going to go without for 2 days. There are dishes in the sink. You forgot to plug in the vacuum so now you can’t even clean the floor. There are hobbies you can’t do because you’ve convinced yourself you aren’t allowed to experience fun until the work is finished. Slowly, it all builds and you are left sitting there with so much to do and the inability to organize tasks leaves you paralyzed and lost amid everything! Honestly, you fucking break down crying because you feel like an incomplete person incapable of caring for themselves.
Dog people don’t quite understand that well-cared for indoor cats regularly live into their late teens, some into their 20s. Also cats don’t tend to show visible signs of aging like dogs do. A 10-15 year old medium/large breed dog is usually visibly old and often slowing. Cats at that age who have good genetics and have received good care look completely like their younger selves and still have play drives and energy and their personalities. Not my cat though. She’s only 5 and she’s looked like roadkill since birth. People often think she’s a senior cat because her body type is weird and she doesn’t groom herself. This is because she is just a little weirdo.
I love her so much but that just doesn’t negate the fact she looks like the Pet Sematary reanimated evil version of someone’s beloved pet. She looks like she’s decomposed just enough for her skin to start slipping. She has cat dandruff. She never cleans under her claws so they’re often black. Her face is crusty and she tries to kill you if you clean it. She’s just built DIFFERENT.
nope! here are her baby pictures (from 2017)
she went through an almost normal cat phase around 3 months of age but reverted back to being yucky
new dnd character dropped! (or rather, a revamp of an old dnd character)
her name is thalia, she's a paladin of the goddess hestia. she is also the mayor of a struggling town, and a major workaholic.
Is it an inside joke if only half of you remembers that it’s being repeated?
sometimes you need to give up committing to the bit when someone genuinely can’t tell if it’s a bit or not and is getting distressed about it :/ sorry
sometimes all u need to do is take one second to say "(yeah this is a bit)" if someone is genuinely asking because they genuinely can't tell, and then you can continue with the bit. i just feel like refusing to acknowledge someone saying "i cant tell if youre joking or not" and you just continue, or even say, "im not joking" then you're not being very funny, you're just being kind of mean, i think.
obviously there is nuance to this and if you know someone really well sometimes going in harder on the bit will make them get that it's a bit and that's fine if you know them. but just be mindful, yknow? not everyone can pick up on stuff like that, and pushing harder on a bit by saying "im serious" when someone asks if you're joking or not can be harmful in some situations.
Idiot jerkface: Have you gotten the surgery?
Me, a trans woman who has received a phalloplasty to gain a second fully functional penis and now refers to myself exclusively as Ms. Double-Barrelled Johnson: Yes
I knew having Redditors cross-train on Tumblr would produce weird fucking magic.
It gets better. This Redditor went the full Goncharov.

Y’all missed the best part:
Category 5 Glup Shitto event
no third option bc there are infinite subgenres of Shitty Internet Person i'm just talking about these two specific opposing genres. just pick the bigger red flag based on Vibes.
