rise of the brave tangled dragons

“the supernatural fandom has a gif for everything”

fluffy chicken

british youtubers

“ask made rebloggable by request”

missing e.

drapple (truly one of the lowest moments of the harry potter fandom)

those powerpoints that were like “my mum reacts to these generic white guys”

flower crowns

justgirlythings

GLEE

before tumblr took away the ability to edit posts so there were all those “bold what you prefer” surveys

everyone getting betrayed by cole sprouse

the divide between fandom blogs and hipster blogs

TIL: The No Child Left Behind Act requires schools to provide contact information for students to military recruiters

via reddit.com

jesus christ

To be fair, my high school had an office expressly for recruiters and as a requirement to graduate, we HAD to take the ASVAB.

Thats what happens when schools aren’t funded well. You either get out through sports or the military; if you were academic, you were largely on your own. And this was before NCLB.

My junior year of high school there was a day that if we were there we were all made to go to the auditorium and forced to take the asvab with recruiters from each branch standing watch.

Yep, we took the ASVAB too. It was marketed as a way to see what your strengths were, and what jobs those strengths might apply to. BUT. The weirdest day was when all the boys had to register for the draft our senior year. They just dropped cards off in the middle of art class, and the guys had to fill them out and return them.

We played the fanfiction trope version of “fuck marry kill” in which the options are “slow burn/fake date/enemies to lovers” and it’s been like 30 hours and I’m STILL losing it over the concept of fake-dating Saruman the White.

put 3 characters in my inbox and I’ll tell you who I’d slow burn/fake date/enemies to lovers with XD

Do the thing

those posts criticizing common writing patterns in fanfiction are so fucking harmful and they ruined me

so like yknow what??? People tell you to avoid “smirk” and “chuckle” as descriptors because no one does those things (???) but then when I need to use those words I have a ten minute crisis about how I’m a shitty writer. So heres my unwarranted writing advice: If you want your characters to smirk and chuckle fucking let them and don’t let anyone tell you that no one smirks or chuckles because I do both on a daily basis whenever I tell a shitty pun, bye 

Edgy fanfiction critics can eat my entire ass.

“nobody does those things” 🅱itch I smirk on the daily

I smirk. I chuckle. I must not be real.

It’s amazing to me how the discussion evolved from “these words are probably used a little too much” to “never use these words ever”.
