u know when u drink really cold or hot drinks and u can feel it going down into ur stomach and u feel like one of those skeleton pirates in pirates of the caribbean when they’re drinking the beer
I feel like getting knocked unconscious has got to be the MOST pervasive concept in all of media that’s rarer and more dangerous in real life. It’s like an everyday thing in every single genre. Not even just getting knocked unconscious but generally getting hit so hard you just lie there doing nothing. Nobody is really gonna just go “ohhhh” and hang out a while if batman throws them through a wall.
Blows to the head in fiction: leaves you unconscious for a few hours, wake up perfectly fine
Blows to the head in real life: if you’re lucky you’ll just have a concussion. You probably won’t be lucky
To be fair if Batman was tossing me through walls I absolutely would play dead until he goes away.
btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv “haha sorry ive never done this without help before… can you show me how to do this?” the employee will not care. if that means anything to you
My boyfriend, again blending together fanfiction tropes: So what if when you finally find your soulmate, that’s when you discover if you’re alpha or omega, right?
Me, hands shaking as I frantically search for pen & paper: KEEP TALKING
Me: Seems hellish
Boyfriend: So does being an ant person
Me: Again, baby, they’re not ants
Boyfriend: YES THEY ARE. They communicate via pheromones— LIKE ANTS.
Me: So back to the soulmate thing….
Boyfriend: You could trick them into following orders and thinking they’re dead by spraying them with a spritz bottle. I think they need a queen.
Me: So back to the soulmate thing…. Seems hellish!
Boyfriend: Not really. If being around the other person is what triggers the changes, if you want to go back to normal… all you need to do is leave.
Me, writing: (You found your soulmate. It’s changing you in scary ways. All you need to do is leave… how difficult would it be to leave? What pressures exist to stay?)
i find destiel sincerely hard to explain to the uninitiated bc it’s like. it’s an accident it’s on purpose they didn’t want it to happen they made it happen it’s a cruel joke it’s essential to the canon it’s queerbait it’s a sincere love story it’s homophobic it’s written by a gay writer it’s subtext it’s text it’s an offhanded dig it’s the centre of the universe you’re crazy you’re not crazy. and all of that is true at once
was waiting on an emergency plumber, decided to smoke by my car instead of stare at my fucked up kitchen. he pulled up next to me, leaned out the window and goes “i’m assuming you’re the client” like yeah buddy, read that one right
honorary best friend, mike the plumber, has saved the day. “don’t worry, i’ve got pvc couplings you’ve probably never even seen before.” brother, i wasn’t aware that was something i could worry about
