[TMI Tuesday] Tell us a story of something funny you witnessed/experienced once, like belly-ache/tear-inducing kind of funny. Record or write, whatever feels better for you. °3°
Oh god… this is one of those questions that seems SO easy until you have to write it out. Because so many funny moments require so much context and explanation that they become not funny?
Ummm, so anyway. I kind of had to crowd-source this one and barring anything that is just… too hard to explain the consensus between Jesse and I is the time that we were on this road trip. We’d been at work all day and were driving out to LA that night to see a show on Saturday so it was basically going to be a 4:30am-9pm at least day (and me being me I’d slept like shit the night before) and we were both a little bit… not entirely with it? So I’m driving on the 15 and he’s talking to me to keep me focused and he starts doing impressions of people we both know. And it’s really funny and I’m laughing and then it’s my turn and the only thing I can think of to do is to mimic my BIL’s voice (it’d be funnier if you’d heard my BIL’s voice, GOD I WISH I COULD RECORD HIM) and say:
Hello, I’m Mike. When you turn me inside out I’m a horse.
And I still have no idea where the fuck that came from or WHY I said that… at all. Like, honestly. No clue. I’m convinced I was temporarily insane. But we were both laughing so hard at it that eventually I had to pull over in the middle of the desert between Nevada and California - no lights, no towns, no nothing. And we were probably there for almost half an hour, cracking the fuck up at this stupid nonsequitor that made NO sense whatsoever.
It’s either that or the time I woke Jesse up to have a long, philosophical discussion about whether or not human beings can rust and the various circumstances under which they might rust. It may not sound funny but trust me, at 3 am? When it’s a choice between killing each other or laughing? You’re going to choose laughing.
I work in a comic book shop. I read Deadpool. Half of our Deadpool subs are women. So, fuck that noise! The reason you’re about to get dumped most likely has to do with your girlfriends discovering that you’re sexist asshats.
Moment of Silence for relationships where partners don’t even communicate something as small as what fucking movie they are going to watch.
Moment of Silence for relationships where partners know their significant other might be upset by the movie topic, but somehow insists on dragging them to see the show anyway.
Moment of Silence for dudes who are still shocked in 20-fucking-16 that women READ COMICS !
I think there’s a big difference between loving an animal that is under your care, and loving the idea of having one.
So many people I see love the idea of a pet. They love the pictures of their smiles and they love the videos of their “awooooo!” protests when it’s bed time. They love the soft swish of their tail when they’re happy and the pitter patter of their feet dancing on the ground in excitement and anticipation.
They love the stories of people who connect with their pets. They love the stories of the cat who smelled the fire and the dog who licks away tears. They love the rabbits that jump hurdles and the geckos that seem to smile right at them.
They love the fairy tale. They love the idea. They are enchanted with all the emotional bonding that is promised them and all the heart-string-pulling stories that make the news and go viral.
They have pieced together a picture in their head of what it is supposed to be like, and when the reality comes, they are unprepared to deal with it. They have no room for the pee on the carpet, and the 3 AM howling and barking. They have no stomach for the constant litter box changes, and the kitty scratches on their arms. They aren’t ready for the constant rabbit enclosure cleanings, or the incessant banshee-like shrieking of a lonely parrot.
“Don’t love having a pet more than you love the actual animal.” –@snabiesnbabies (emphasis mine)
Having a pet is a wonderful, amazing experience that I wish everyone could experience. Bonding with your pet is extremely fulfilling, and brings a sort of inner peace I can barely describe.
But don’t fall in love with the idea of your pet. Fall in love with the actual animal–with the whole animal. Love their needs and their quirks. Love their smiles and their cries. Love them through the moments when they make you cry and through the moments you think they don’t care. Love them in the way a living being who is 100% dependent on you for everything deserves.
this is actually really important, i know quite a few people (usually younger kids living on their own for the first time, but not exclusively..) who go on & on about wanting cats or dogs or rodents or snakes or birds, who not only can BARELY afford to even take care of themselves, but also do not know what that kind of animal care entails? or they just enjoy the idea, the aesthetic, of coming home to a bunch of ferrets, not actually caring for the ferrets themselves. worst of all, i know people who do actually get these pets, & they end up passing away a few months after they get them. & ill take into account sometimes pet stores (like petsmart/petco) dont exactly care for their animals in the store before theyre bought anyway, so sometimes they unfortunately arent healthy enough to survive even if they are bought & cated for properly, but really, when you have 3 finches pass away on you in a row, maybe you shouldnt go for a 4th? animals are not, accessories. animals are not toys. animals are not decoration. animals should be the closest thing to a child you could imagine. animals deserve excessive love & care. they are living, breathing creatures. if you can not love one & take care of one to the ability that they deserve, You Dont Need One.
We had a lot of issues with Sebastian (our dog). He’s fear-aggressive, has a really hard time with other dogs, “talks” (I can probably count on one hand the number of times he’s barked in the last year) incessantly even in the middle of the night, will constantly find “problems” to solve (like “oh, the bread is on top of the refrigerator so I can’t eat it, I will fix that!”) and makes me play the “please let me figure out how to be smarter than my idiot savant dog” game. He’s hella expensive and frequently eats better than I do. And yet I wouldn’t trade him for the world.
If you couldn’t deal with all of that and still love the heck out of your dog PLEASE do not get one. They deserve better.
So I just went through my followers and got rid of all the spam blogs/porn blogs and I am at a solid 200!
I’ve been on tumblr since like… 2010? And up until maybe October of 2015, I’d slowly garnered 100 or so followers over the course of 5 years. Then I got active in the Dragon Age fandom, and the number doubled in as many months.
Anyway, basically I wanted to say thank you to everybody who has followed me by doing a mini art giveaway!
I’m gunna run it from now until next Sunday (Feb 14th, ooOOOooo Valentine’s ooooooo). Likes and reblogs count, and you can enter as many times as you want, idgaf EYYY. The only rule is that you hafta be following me! (and no giveaway blogs, that’s lame) New followers are allowed, and even if you peace out after this is done, it’s whatever yo 👍 This is just my way of giving back to all you rad folks out there.

i've sailed the seas of you, glided over softly
cresting waves, been tossed about by your storms,
near shattered and shipwrecked on the breakers of you.
i've mapped the rugged coastlines of us, my tongue
has travelled the inlets between your fingertips and
the endless rolling dunes of you, the subtle, drifting
rise & fall of your chest, back arched as our legs
tangle, entertwine like seaweed strands twisting, teasing
through miles of coral reef, always searching for the sun.
salt crusted on your skin, salt thick on my lips;
there's a storm roiling deep inside the hollows
of us, waves battering endlessly against the
once jagged cliffs worn pearl-smooth over centuries.
& we will sail these seas, my love 'til we are
naught but driftwood, salt and brittle coral bones,
fingers fused together for eternity as we sink
below the waves
You might not remember this, but earlier this year you followed someone back who was incredibly depressed and one night they were going to kill themselves. You messaged them and talked to them and you saved their life, my life, that night. You are a wonderful person and I had re-made my blog and finally found yours again and I just wanted you to know that you are amazing. Thank you so much
Oh my gosh. I’m so glad you found me and told me! I really, really am. I’m so glad you’re still here and safe and hopefully happier. I’m so glad I could help, even a little, even if it was just enough to get through until morning. I’m honestly so happy to hear this and so happy for you I’m crying a little. Thank you, thank you, thank you for telling me and thank you so much for being so strong and getting through the darkest parts of life to someplace better! You are amazing and strong and I am so proud of and happy for you! And selfishly, I really, really needed to hear this, that I made a difference to someone somewhere tonight so thank you for that as well.
And seriously, any time. For you, for anyone else reading this. Y’all can always come to me. I don’t promise that I have any answers but I will always be there.
