reblog the Don Draper of getting a job he’s unqualified for and you’ll have 10 years of getting jobs you’re unqualified for
YES
No but my dad actually did this at McDonalds in the 70s!
So here’s a true story: my father, sometime in the 70s was looking for his first job. He went to the local McDonalds and told the staff, [manager’s name] said I was supposed to start today. They took his word for it and started training him and by the time the manager saw him and asked who he was, people just said “oh that’s the new guy.”
Somehow this actually worked. My dad worked there for a couple of years as a cook. He even won an award plaque which he had on the wall until the day he died.
Someone needs to make a monster fucker and furry scale where the Monster Fucker side is the plant from Little Shop of Horrors and the Furry side is the tigers from zootopia

We
know Flowey can’t feel love. He can’t feel love for other people, and
he can’t feel the love that others may express for him.
But he still experiences the psychological need to love and be loved that people, especially children, possess.
Look at his face when he talks to Chara about how he tried to feel something, ANYTHING, for his own father.
Look at his face when he remembers hoping his mother would surely help him feel the warmth of compassion once more.
These are not emotionally neutral memories. Thinking about how he discovered he didn’t care about his parents anymore…
…is painful for Asriel.
And he has no reason to lie or fake his emotions here,
considering what route he says this on, and who he’s talking to.
And…throughout
the game, he clings to the memory and idea of Chara as the person who
can make him feel something, who can make him feel less horribly alone
and give his life meaning again…
…but if you talk to him a few times in
Neutral…
He admits that, deep down, he knows he can’t really love Chara, either.
The best he can hope for…is that he “won’t get tired of” them.
That they won’t stop being “fun” to “play with” like everyone else did.
And just like thinking about his first time interacting with his parents as a flower…admitting this to himself pains him.
Christ, someone give this poor fucking kid his SOUL back so that he can comprehend the emotion behind the hugs I want to give him.
this reminded me of something i’ve been trying to figure out a way to articulate for a while. because when you look at flowey from as many angles as you can, take every facet of his character and begin to understand his perspective, it leads you down interesting roads.
like, maybe undertale isn’t meant to be as “meta” as we’ve come to believe it is.
i know ut is widely lauded at this point for being a game that understands it’s a game, and i’m still willing to bet that this is true! ultimately, there’s no reason to believe that this concept and the one i’m about to express are mutually exclusive. i mean, it certainly breaks the 4th wall enough.
flowey being a foil to you, to me, to us, as the Player, isn’t new information, but there’s something there that struck me during my last replay. flowey consistently refers to everything as a “game”, to people as “characters”, to reversing time as “loading” and “saving”. he talks about chara the way i think about things i remember enjoying before depression kicked my ass; he wants to see chara the way i want to find a new media to get invested in because i got bored of the old ones and desperately need something new to keep myself stimulated. not to get personal or anything, but when you take away the driven-in concept of flowey’s claims as purely meta references…
you get a kid processing his trauma through things he’s familiar with. video games.
flowey, as we know him, has completely depersonalized himself from the world around him. his inability to feel positive emotions for other people – only the memory of those emotions, and even then those have faded by the time we reach him also – and the added factor of his ability to manipulate time and experience the same events over and over, led him to see them not AS people, but as characters. and so on and so forth.
we tend to view flowey as one of the only people in the underground who “really” knows what’s going on. but in the end, flowey, just like us with our preconceived notions about how games like undertale Should Go when we first open it up, is as unreliable a narrator as they come. and that’s really why he’s kind of my favorite
Millennials have essentially been forced into a perpetual teenagerhood by socioeconomic circumstance, we desperately want to grow up, and we’re worried that we’re running out of time to do so
I was in 1st/2nd grade grade when the big Pokémon boom of the late 90s-early 00s happened. It was HUGE. Every kid was into it and we’d watch the show and play pretend and collect the cards and bring our game boys to school to trade Pokémon during recess. I was lucky to have supportive parents, but I remember how teachers and other adults would scoff and say how tired they were of Pokémon, how annoying and juvenile it was and how they couldn’t wait for us to “get over it already”. I might have been young, but I still remember how much these kinds of comments bummed me out. Why in the world are we being mean to little kids who like Fortnite
Why are you comparing pokemon to fortnite???
Because… Fortnite is very popular amongst children at the moment? And there are adults who dismiss it in the same way other adults did when Pokémon was big, calling it stupid, saying the dances are annoying, how much they can’t wait for the “fad to be over”, etc. It’s pretty much the same scenario.
Fortnite has a lootbox system that is glorified gambling, and can cause patterns of addiction in even adult minds, and that is in fact its intended goal in order for the game to make money from microtransactions. That’s how all games with lootboxes function. That’s how they draw in their customer base and squeeze more money out of them.
Like, I don’t judge kids who enjoy Fortnite. My little cousin plays Fortnite.
But last week, my little cousin also stole his mother’s credit card and spent about a month’s salary on microtransactions without his parents’ knowledge.
Modern gaming has become vile and predatory in ways that we didn’t have to deal with as children.
And we shouldn’t be mean to children about this, but we should definitely be coming down on these companies like a pile of fucking bricks.
Not satisfied with harming their own children, they want to make sure their views harm others.
I guess the protesters are hoping that if they can keep others as uneducated and ill informed about vaccines as they are maybe their ranks will increase.
Humans have short ass memories. I really think that is what the problem is here. Because kids haven’t been dying in droves because we have preventive medicine, people think these medicines are unnecessary and actually a burden on their lives. But now that kids in the Western nations have started catching and dying from these wholly preventable childhood diseases I am wondering what will occur first – some large group of children catching and dying from these diseases or the mutation of a virus that we believed had disappeared decades ago.
I just made this shirt as a birthday gift for a friend who had rubella as a child:
SO, yeah, fuck these parents in particular.
[Image: a red fitted shirt with the text ‘I survived a Vintage Disease and all I got was this lousy t-shirt, two hearing aids, and a scleral shell.’ The text is formatted to look like a Victorian advertisement with scrollwork under the words ‘Vintage Disease.’]
You’d think recent outbreaks killing kids would make more of an impact… but then no you wouldn’t in this day and age.
No, because these people would rather have dead kids than disabled ones. Let’s be blunt.
if i were in a gay space and some idiot from this website was like “uh excuse me can you and your girlfriend not hold hands?? i’m romance repulsed and it makes me uncomfortable” i literally would knock their teeth out
you know damn well these people dont leave their houses
*pro-curse arospec laughs maniacally at you two fools* oh, my word *wipes tear away*
pro-curse arospec laughs maniacally
it means theyre a witch who practices cursing asdsfdsas theyre literally threatening to curse yall
yeah this is the same person who cursed @bobavader‘s womb on twitter because she said that drawing cute fanart of ted bundy was creepy. so i’d be careful if i were you
If you insist on telling bisexual people that “bi means two”, then don’t ever use the word “myriad” to refer to any amount other than 10,000.
Also, don’t ever use the word “quarantine” to refer to any period of time other than 40 days.
dont use the word decimated unless youre talking about something SPECIFICALLY reduced to 9/10th it’s previous size
Your indignation is valid but your facts are not.
We got a bright one here folks. A real genius.
I’m sorry, I have trouble detecting sarcasm, are you being sarcastic?
Correct. You hard missed the point of the post which is that a word’s definition can evolve beyond its etymological root.
I thought the point of the post was that people who denounce “bisexual” as meaning only two are hypocrites for using words like myriad because the definition of myriad could only refer to exactly 10,000 and they’re only being accurate when they feel like it, rather than the reason being that the definition of something can be something other than its etymological origins.
There was more than one implication to your reasoning. You can’t call other people stupid as you leave a clear possibility of misunderstanding out in the open.
It’s because bisexual in LGBT circles has pretty much always meant “can be attracted to anyone” and should continue to mean that but people try to redefine it and create unnecessary sexualities with the weak and stupid justification “bi means two” even tho bisexual doesn’t have to refer to only two genders regardless of its Latin prefix; we’ve redefined words many times that originally had a specific etymological meaning
I remember someone posted an article once about how during victorian times i think the tuberculosis “look” became the new beauty ideal for women, like unhealthily skinny, pale skin, glowing (with sweat due to fever), rosy cheeks, etc and i for real think about that almost every day because its like. We never had a chance lmao
DUDE I DID A WHOLE PAPER ON THIS. It was a huge Romantic fad for both men and women. It was considered specifically the poet’s disease (the umbrella “artist’s disease” was syphilis, so many composers had it holy shit, it was probs why Beethoven went deaf) and women and poets were seen as especially susceptible because of their sensitivity specifically, not necessarily miasma. It got to the point of popularity where a good poet and handsome man were both consumptive that none other than Lord Byron once wrote to a friend that he wished he had it cause then he would get all the ladies. Alexandre Dumas wrote about the same thing when he was remembering his youth in Paris. This wasn’t just England, it was all over Western Europe. (Also fun to look at: the treatments and prescriptions given by doctors to cure tb, I ended up banging my head against the wall when I was researching it)
hi. i dont usually respond to posts like this but like. whats your fucking problem. how are you just gonna take this historical fact that beauty standards glorify this “ideal” body that actually in reality can be the result of a devastating illness or otherwise just malnourishment or illness in general and use that for your au of kylo fucking ren. who do you think you are im so pissed off right now
*inhales deeply, tries to not send a FICTION ISN’T REALITY XOXO reply*
hi, i don’t usually respond to posts like this but like. you went totally out of your way to annoy me and try to accuse me of ED apologism, what is SERIOUS AS HELL and completely IMPOSSIBLE to justify
“whats your fucking problem” you accusing me of making ED apologism bc i like romanticism and its aesthetics
“how are you
just gonna take this historical fact that beauty standards glorify this “ideal” body that actually in reality can be the result of a devastating illness or otherwise just malnourishment or illness in general and use that for your au of kylo fucking ren
“ BECAUSE MY AU OF KYLO FUCKING REN [i liked that, gonna use that] IS SET ON THE ROMANTIC PERIOD and yeah, he pretty much fits the stereotype
“
who do you think you are” an artist/ficwriter who enjoys his historical accuracy, enjoys his personal preferences and ENJOYS KNOWING FICTION ISN’T REALITY, a thing you clearly don’t know
im sorry you have to deal with an ED, but please, stay the fuck away of my historical fiction.
I don’t even like Reylo. But I’m sick of antis and anti-Reylo’s in particular.
