one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.

family appalled that their very quiet well behaved mature child who never caused any problems has grown up and turned out to have many many problems. more news at 8!

The ability to turn the post above you into the speech bubble of a character of your choice is an essential weapon of tumblr pvp.

When you look at older media you see so many more protagonists in their 40s or 50s or older, even like grizzled bearded old men as the main adventurer. I even see stories from like the 20s where it's written like a young hero is a wacky twist or novelty. I think we should bring that back. We should make like 33 the baseline age for main characters on cool adventures instead of the 13 or 16 it currently is. Let babies stay home and finish baby school first

jk rowling's new reputation will never not be funny to me. when you see her name now you dont think "oh yeah thats the chick who wrote harry potter" you think "oh lord, this TERF bitch again" like bro how do you fuck up so bad that your fuck ups overshadow writing the third most read piece of literature in existence

#literally like I was saying earlier!#these books could have just quietly gone down in history as a much-beloved piece of children's/teen fiction#and people would have been like 'it's kind of problematic but the pros outweigh the cons so I'll read it to the kids'#but Rowling was SO desperate to keep herself relevant that she's driven HP into the fucking earth

Ok I’m really curious

*If you can't walk that far or the roads to the store aren't safe to walk just pretend you can and they are for the purposes of this poll.

LMAO i just looked up how long it would have taken to walk to Walmart when we lived in rural Tennessee. 14 fucking hours

(these days is 58 minutes, and it's honestly GREAT proximity to grocery store for rural USA, but the road is utterly unwalkable (no shoulder and overhangs a drainage ditch) 🙃

yeah it's like three and half hours for me but there aren't sidewalks so it'd be super dangerous unless you were walking through peoples yards and as far from traffic in the roadside ditch as possible (even then there are parts of the road where you can't avoid crossing or being near the road which is incredibly dangerous). and i'd definitely need to use a wheelchair so??? rip. the closest grocery store is also in a food desert and price gouges accordingly too. so even if i was abled the best case scenario without a car would still be to walk on foot for almost four hours risking literal death to get to a store where i couldn't afford to actually buy very much at all. 'MURICA!
