Four roommates are extraterrestrials who have taken human form in the hopes of learning about Earth’s culture. Unfortunately, each alien is from a different planet and believes the other three are normal humans.

Hey I get that compulsive heterosexuality is a thing and all but can we maybe stop trying to convince bi girls that they aren’t actually attracted to guys….I mean can we get rid of the idea that a bi girl who lusts after men is somehow doing a great disservice to the wlw community or being disloyal to who she “really” is…compulsive heterosexuality is real but guess what bisexuality is too and it’s a very valid identity
You may be 98% sure she’s not really bi and you can still keep your damn mouth shut
Hell, you can be absolutely right, and in a year she’s gonna laugh and say ‘haha I thought I liked men, can you believe it?’ And you can still keep your damn mouth shut
Let every girl explore and discover her identity at her own pace in her own way.
Let every girl choose the labels that make her the happiest and most comfortable
I id'ed as pan ace for half a year before I started seeing myself as a lesbian. And honestly, had someone tried to chew me out for that or called it a phase I would’ve been crushed.
I can only imagine how much worse it feels for actual bi and pan girls
Let bi girls be bi girls and let girls-who-you’re-pretty-sure-are-not-actually-bi be bi girls because that’s their label to pick.
During Boromir’s death scene in the Fellowship of the Ring film, you a hear a choir in the soundtrack. The choir isn’t singing random vowel sounds; they’re actually singing in Elvish.
The English translation of the lyrics? It’s a line from the books: “I do not love the sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only what they defend.”
For bonus hurt points– in the book, those lines were said by his little brother Faramir.
i’m sorry, are you the author of the avian bird flu fic??? can i just say that i remembered the existence of that fic a couple years ago—it was a favorite of mine during seventh grade—and rereading it gave me the inspiration for my url? thank you so much
Yeah, that’s me, and it surprises me every time someone remembers one of my old fics. It’s been forever since I wrote them, but I still get messages about them. Guess that’s my legacy, for good or ill. :P I love your URL, btw. :)
ive been on tumblr a long time and i remember when everyone said “oh don’t romanticize mental illness” and it was agreed that doing that was gross and a good way to kill people indirectly
but somehow we’ve come full circle and there are people who legit defend their right to be anti-recovery there are people who don’t want to get better and spread the idea that you can’t get better as if it’s gospel and it’s fucking frightening to me bc nobody seems to want to say “hey? this is toxic and untrue and is your disease speaking, and it’s not something you should accept.”
and i feel like every recovery post gets about 500 of these people saying “this isn’t something that will work” “cool karen i’m depressed” “maybe it worked for you but it won’t work for other people” and that’s… just… im so sorry if you’re 15. i’m sorry if you’re in high school and watching grown adults tell you it doesn’t get better. that nobody says that with time and help and patience the world stops being so heavy, that accepting your illness as a fact is one thing but accepting it as the only way to be is just wrong, that you can learn to live with it and still find some degree of “happy”…. if i had seen this shit back when i was … oh god starting at 12 when i was already self-harming …. i think i’d have actually honest-to-god killed myself. not a joke, not a funny tumblr punchline, i would have actually just killed myself.
i’m saying this right here and right now to the adults on this site. if you for any reason shoot down positivity that’s causing no harm - you might have indirectly worsened someone else’s condition, and you should try and do better in the future. if you find it necessary to tell people “recovery is a lie”, you need to do better. i know everyone has different circumstances, but i also know that mental illness behaves in such a way that everyone thinks they can’t recover. if you feel like you should be spreading the Word Of Relapse, you are causing toxic language to be normalized and you need to do better.
im team “cool karen ive got depression and that means i’m going to try this because i’ve got to try something” i’m team “romanticize recovery” i’m team “it isn’t working now but it might in the future and it’s worth staying to find out” im team “hey this didn’t work for me but it might help somebody else out”
fuck guys it shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion to say “i don’t want any of you to die”.
today i visited the castle walt disney based the Famous Disney Castle on, Neuschwanstein, and learned that the king who made it, lugwig II was a gigantic fucking fanboy that built a fairytale castle bc he was obsessed with this swan knight legend, so he made this useless weird castle to sit in the mountains and look pretty and have all his favorite characters on the walls. this motherfucker built a fake grotto next to his bedroom cuz he saw it once in an opera and thought it was cool. this is like if obama really liked star wars and just built a millennium falcon he could live in. also he loved supporting artists and hired actors to go with him into the countryside and act out legends this MOTHERFUCKER WAS LARPING IN THE 1800s you nERDY fUCK. also ludwig only went out at night cuz his life was so scandalous people talked about him, so he had a carriage/sleigh combo with a battery powered light on it and rode around the bavarian countryside like the useless emo batman fuck that he was. did i mention he was bisexual and retreated into the LARGER GROTTO HE BUILT IN ANOTHER PALACE for years bc honestly what’s more relatable than building yourself an artificial grotto below a palace to be a gay recluse like the goddamn phantom of the opera? this fucking icon now has secret societies and conspiracy theories about his mystery death because only true icons create drama from the fuCKING afterlife. anyway i’ve now found my bisexual depressed fanboy bitch role model
… it’s not just swan lake he was obsessed with. He built the entire castle as an actual facts love letter to composer Richard Wagner. Pretty much every room in that castle is decorated like a scene from one of Wagner’s operas.
He was also deposed for being “insane”, which depending on which source your looking at means he was either bipolar or had a schizotypal personality disorder. The day after he was officially deposed he died under “mysterious circumstances” and it was likely he was murdered.
Ludwig II, the “Mad King” of Bavaria is a trip and a half. It’s fascinating history and I recommend ANYONE who has the chance visit Schwangau and take the guided tour of both Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, his father’s castle (which is just down the hill). (I’ve been on both tours about 6 times and I learn something new every time.)
