Yawetsocks - Serendipity

Lying to someone about how risky something is to make it seem safer than it is because you know they wouldn't do it if they knew it was dangerous: Shitty. Evil. Unforgivable.

Lying to someone about how risky something is to make it seem more dangerous than it is because you know they'd love the thrill of danger while you know you're actually perfectly safe: Actually that's hilarious. Fun for everybody involved.

just finished "carol and the end of the world" -- leave it to netflix to drop one of the year's best shows right at the tail-end of said year. a very poignant, melancholic, powerful show about coming together to build a community and overcoming yourself even in the most dire circumstances. watch it immediately

"Silent treatment" but it's more like a spa treatment. A little treat, the indulgent luxury of hearing me shut the fuck up.

Jeez some of these details like Wendy's mom being dead and Waddles potentially dying are depressing.

The Dipper one especially. That recontextualizes so much about how him and Mabel acted around the end of the series.

No wonder Dip latched onto authority figures so much and wanted to stay with Ford. He was afraid that when he came home, his parents would be divorced.

But where Dipper looked for replacement parents in other adult figures in an attempt to find stability, Mabel clung to whatever stability/reliable family she already had, Dipper. Mable wasn't looking for replacement parents because Dipper essentially filled that role for her, a dependable, reliable family member who would always be there to get her out of trouble. But Mabel couldn't be that person for Dipper in return, so Dipper looked elsewhere for that stability and found it in Ford.

So when the possibility of Dipper not going home came up, Mabel panicked because she would be losing that stability and would return to fighting parents without anyone to depend on.

Mabel handing over the rift makes a lot more sense now. Endless Summer for her equals Endless Stability.

does anyone know if its worth the potential disappointment to have hope for a better tomorrow

I’m thinking about that lady who said it was unacceptable to not serve alcohol at a wedding... Our culture presents alcohol as this integral part of socializing and partying and fun in general, to the point that people don’t even consider it a drug and don’t feel weird about demanding their drug of choice being available at someone else’s celebration lmao

The moment I find something that gives me joy, I CONSUME it incessantly until it yields no more joy. like a mosquitor sucking on blood until it pops.
