Posting on tumblr is like you say “I think people should be nice to each other” and somebody is like “oh so you hate people that are born in January” and then you’re like. What.

People are reblogging this again. Must be January.

I once saw someone make the "X's grave is a gender neutral bathroom" joke, and somebody got really pissed off at them, not for disrespecting someone's grave by saying people should piss on it, but for being transphobic. Because the dead person was evil and therefore the poster thinks gender neutral bathrooms are evil and therefore they want trans people to put themselves in danger in male/female bathrooms.

laios is perhaps the only character not to get the "they mentioned their favorite food once and the fandom makes it their whole personality" treatment. his favorite food is cheesecake and absolutely nobody cares

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

This is legit good writing advice, especially the first bullet point! In playwriting class we did a bit where every bit of dialogue had to be an accusatory question and it was glorious.

I feel like every year the girl names get more boyish like what do you mean you are a teenage girl named Ian??

And this leads to an escalation on the boy name front where like, once upon a time shit like Hunter was something parents in the Bush era made up to reassure ppl there was no fag shit going on with their kids and now the most famous trans woman in country is named Hunter so p soon we are gonna need to call the boys shit like Blade and Laser

I'm gonna be teaching in 2030 and all the girls are going to be named Arnold and Connor and all the boys are gonna be named Gun

sorry but gun is already a girl’s name

i.e. what i imagine hornet's internal dialogue to look like

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

maybe your cat is meowing bc it wants a cigarette

This is followed by a series of replies and tags which read as follows…

RESTORING LOST MEDIA

These guys would be the biggest hit at any Renaissance fair they went to.

An envoy from a kingdom in the far East comes to your hamlet and of course you give them a warm welcome!

Do you have any idea what access to the spice road would do for the tiny Dukedom of Fairground By the Budget Hilton?

Isnt this how we lost the recipe for roman concrete

I hope this joke outlives the context that made it, leaving future generations baffled.

*Facepalms* Any other color, people....

Not pictured: me, yanking the steering wheel to screech into a parking lot so I could take a pic of this while my sisters and I absolutely lost it upon seeing this truck

“I’ve managed to resist my cannibalistic instincts and refrain from devouring my wife, but I don’t know how much more I can take. Perhaps looking at my neighbor’s beautiful, blossoming tree will ground me…”
