Hey. Walk with me. Undersiders Beach episode.

Chain? Wildbow may never give us a beach episode. We must make one.

You Get Me

She’d be so good at building sand castles 😌

Protected and Safe from the devious machinations of Thing 1 and Thing 2

Lisa’s incredible architectural abilities!!. Brian is smugly safe and sound !!! The world is at it should be

I’d eat a Miss Militia burger. I tried connecting some of the drawings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An ongoing list of quotes that were written for specific fandoms but breached containment:

“We deserve a soft epilogue, my love. We are good people, and we’ve suffered enough”- seventy years of sleep, poetry series by nikka ursula based on Stucky

“When is a monster not a monster/Oh, when you love it.”- “Start Here” by Caitlyn Siehl, based on the Winchester brothers

“Womb to tomb, sweetheart”- The Not Easily Conquered series by dropdeaddream and WhatAreFears on Ao3, Captain America fic

Fanart of Anyone’s chapter 22 

The fanfic belongs to @gentrychild

A beautiful and nightmarish mosaic containing

- Izuku’s former friends pushing him around.

- Bakugou being a bully.

- All Might telling him he can’t be a hero.

- the scar Izuku got after he almost died

- Eri being taken away from those who loved her right after she was saved

- and the moment where Izuku becomes the real nightmare.

I am in absolute awe of your art and it perfectly conveys what I was trying to write. Thank you so much.

Don’t mind me…I’m just thinking about how spiders are naturally talented and skilled weavers and they know how to weave their webs and even make functional, stylish homes and nests and whatnot.

So maybe that’s why Spider-Man knows how to sew his suits. He inherited that trait from the spider and just instinctively know how to weave his suits. Maybe. That’s my explanation for it.

Aunt May: You're buying an awful lot of yarn lately. Are you making something?

Peter, who after getting bit by a spider has felt an inescapable need to knit and now his room is covered head to toe in yarn: Nope. It's just new hobby.

yknow what. i complained a lot about how it was unrealistic to suddenly know how to put together stretch knits and a perfectly fitting, absolute banger of a suit, but this is an explanation i’ll gladly accept

monster that doesn’t know that it’s a monster because it’s never seen its own reflection, doesn’t understand why it’s feared. lonely creature only trying to love and be loved but it’s clumsy and doesn’t realize its power, doesn’t know it’s different. why don’t you love me. why are you scared of me. i’m just like you

Oh, NOW I understand why gays love monsters so much

I miss when everyone on my dash listened to Welcome to Night Vale so there’s be a good chance that on any ole day someone would reblog a quote that would grab me by the throat and forcibly ascend me to a higher plane where I understood myself and the universe better and with more kindness but also a little spook

“The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present” are you kidding me this quote has propelled me through at least three emotional crises

“The desert seems vast, even endless. And yet scientists tell us that somewhere, even now, there is snow.” That quote literally got me through grieving my brother like WTNV goes HARD

A List of Some of My Favorite Quotes From This Insane Podcast:

  • "You are beautiful when you do beautiful things."
  • "The present tense of regret is indecision."
  • "We understand so much, but the sky behind those lights-- mostly void, partially stars-- that sky reminds us we don't understand even more."
  • "Be proud of your place in the Cosmos. It is small and yet it is."
  • "Believe in yourself. You are an ancient, absent god, discussed only rarely by literary scholars. So if you don't believe, no one will."
  • "Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you."
  • “Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won’t. That’s what love is.”
  • "Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that’s not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?"
  • "When we talk about teenagers, we adults often talk with an air of scorn, of expectation for disappointment. And this can make people who are presently teenagers feel very defensive. But what everyone should understand is that none of us are talking to the teenagers that exist now, but talking back to the teenager we ourselves once were – all stupid mistakes and lack of fear, and bodies that hadn’t yet begun to slump into a lasting nothing. Any teenager who exists now is incidental to the potent mix of nostalgia and shame with which we speak to our younger selves."
  • "We are not history yet. We are happening now. How miraculous is that?"
  • "Wednesday has been cancelled due to a scheduling error."
  • "We have nothing to fear except ourselves. We are unholy, awful people."
  • "A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A basilisk."
  • "There's nothing under your bed. There's nothing in your closet. Nothing waits in every darkness. Nothing is the most terrifying thing of all."
  • "The night sky is ten miles wide, eight miles deep, and floats three miles up. Its favourite food is grape jelly. It wants to be a drummer."
  • "Look to the sky. You will not find answers there, but you will certainly see what everyone is screaming about."
  • "Ignorance might not actually be bliss, but it is certainly less work."
  • "And now, a special report. Crocodiles: Can they eat your children? *YES.*"
  • "Lie down and look up at the ceiling and breathe with those curiously fragile lungs of yours and remind yourself: Don’t worry. Don’t worry. All is as it was meant to be. It was meant to be lonely and terrifying and unfair and fleeting. Don’t worry."
  • "As long as I’m reminding myself things, I’m a good person, worthy of love – both from myself and others."
  • "Guns don't kill people! It's impossible to be killed by a gun. We are all invincible to bullets and it's a miracle!"
  • "Everything is exciting! Particularly existence. Existence is the most thrilling fact of all."
  • "There is a monster under your bed. A monster at your window. A monster any place you imagine one. You project your monsters on the world."
  • "You miss 100% of the bank robberies you don't commit."
  • "I like my coffee like I like my nights. Dark, endless, and impossible to sleep through. "
  • "A friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep. Welcome to Night Vale."
  • "And now, the weather."

I discovered this podcast at the beginning of high school, and let me tell you, it rewired my synapses.

Not only was it my first experience with positive LGBT representation, it was the show I clung to when everything else went to shit. Whatever was going on in my life, I knew I had this show in my corner, making me laugh, making me cry, making me feel okay about my place in the universe.

I owe the creators of this podcast more than I could express.

"the lights over the Arby's" is such an intrinsically queer piece of writing that it hits me *hard* every time.

"We will never be the same again. But here's a little secret for you: no one is ever the same thing again after anything. You are never the same twice, and much of your unhappiness comes from trying to pretend that you are. Accept that you are different each day, and do so joyfully, recognizing it for the gift it is. Work within the desires and goals of the person you are currently, until you aren't that person anymore, and everything changes once again." (from Episode 75)

Welcome to Night Vale was the first media I consumed because of tumblr. I didn't start listening until the end of the first year. Which happened to coincide with my moving to China. I listened and relistened the first two years I was here and had a commute that was long enough to listen to a whole episode. Then I moved closer to work and no longer had that special time specifically for Night Vale. And I think my life is poorer for it. I've not kept up, and I think that's something that needs to change. Nobody's commuting anywhere here right now. It's as good a time as any to go back to the beginning and listen.
