my mom just came to me and ranted about how everyone is making this facebook status that says, “raising teenagers is like nailing jello to a tree”. she was so baffled by this because she said, “you were pretty easy to raise as teenagers. all you did was sleep and eat.”
so to prove some point she’s going to nail a small cup of jello to a tree.
she’s so pleased with her self
incredible
parents are weird
yeah but this is about as accurate as it gets.
you say “nail jello to a tree” and most people think jello all by itself.
but if you put any actual thought into what you’re doing and then give it just a little support
I put together an image set with quotes from @maggie-stiefvater. She made this list originally in response to a question from @rikkari. The post is here.
Yeah, see, THIS is a trigger. Something that prompts a horrible flashback that makes someone go into a literal panic attack. It is NOT something that makes you slightly uncomfortable, so can we all just stop tossing that word around like it’s nothing.
thank you Wreck It Ralph
Reblogging for valuable commentary
Also, can we talk about how Felix dealt with it? He NEVER used that word again (only once in front of Ralph, never by her), there was never any talk about how she could get over it, and in their wedding they all made plans to help her with her paranoia by recognising her fears and showing she was safe by pointing guns at the window and having extra security.
A++++++ on dealing with mental issues magnificently, Wreck-It Ralph!
Will never not reblog this when I see it
also this was the greatest 5 second character development in cinematic history
Fandoms don’t die when their source material ends. Far from it. A fandom is what you make of it, and most fandoms don’t fully come into their own until long, long after their source canon has first been published, or released in theaters—or stops airing on television. If my years in fandom have taught me anything, it’s that you need to build the fandom you want. Keep on creating. Keep on connecting. That’s what fandom always has been. The fandom you love dies if you stop. The source of official content might stop, and sometimes it’s just time for that to happen. Pick up where it leaves off. Find new ways of parsing, reshaping, and transforming what already exists. Feel what you need to feel, but don’t stop if letting go isn’t what you want. Among many other things, I’m devoted to asingle novel that was published 28 years ago. We occasionally get, say, a radio or television adaptation, but those several hundred precious pages are all the canon we have. The rest of what fills a fandom that has lasted nearly 30 years, glorious and constant and endlessly surprising? Is us.
True story – There are historical accounts (well, there’s at least one historical account) in which English people whine about how the Norse men bathe so often they’re able to seduce the local women away from their husbands.
^^^ Yep. Turns out the women were way more into the hot well groomed muscular dudes who liked to smell nice.
*Hot, well groomed men who liked to smell nice and knew their way around sharp objects.
“I just don’t know why you couldn’t marry a local boy sweetie.”
“What can I say dad, Hjalmar bathes regularly, smells nice, has shoulders, can wield a sword and can wield his sword ifyaknowwhatImean, and when he comes back from raids likes to shower me in rare gifts from overseas. Look at this necklace! The amber beads came from the lands of the Rus! Also, he’s teaching me how to shoot a bow and use a spear because he thinks it might be nice if I could go on raids too someday.”
I mean, frankly, if I wasn’t already married, I would marry Hjalmar, too.
every time I see someone talking about Vikings having dreadlocks I know that they don’t know shit
“A bunch of Frosty Fonzies”
Okay but now all I can picture is Thor fist bumping a juke box in Avengers Mansion to make it play a song O.O
