or a little prequel set over a year before Jake meets Bradley in "And I'm so impatient when you're not mine".
listen. this came to me and its self-indulgent old man hangster and i have zero regrets. it is unedited, i scanned it a second time and #yolo
(opening the author’s works page after finishing a fic) and if im lucky they’ll have written this exact same fic but different a bunch more times
at least theres still listening to music while staring at the ceiling
honestly, this phrase has been on my mind more times than i can count. i've kidnapped it, taken it as a hostage with no ransom money because i need it to live permanently in my head.
adult friendships are really anything you need them to be like it doesn’t matter. if you and your friend want to see each other twice a week, that’s cool! if you want to have a standing monthly dinner at a restaurant with a friend, that’s cool! if you see each other once every four months and that’s all you can swing, that’s cool! you’re still friends as long as that’s how you both feel. if you talk twice a year for a good couple of hours, guess what? that’s still cool and you’re still friends if that’s how it feels. there’s no rules. whatever you can give in terms of energy and time is enough to be friends
My casino has new top-of-the-line technology to stop heists: a montage detector. If those bastards want to break in and steal my money, they’re doing it as part of one, long take
Everybody shut the HECK up and look at this
big and round shark
*slaps shork* this bad boy can hold so many remoras
for those wondering, she was/is 2.5x the size of the average bullshark.
bull sharks are usually 250lbs. she was around 600.
she was also a complete diva
The fact that people left the movie theater thinking "I need to ship superman with batman" is understandable and yet incomprehensible to me. Not just as a diehard clois shipper but also as a person with eyes. If you gotta have the yaoi clex is right there. Unrelated I am a massive Smallville fanboy
*inhales*
You gotta pass Clark around like a blunt
There are many, many differences between Lex in Smallville and Lex in Superman (2025), but one of the biggest ones is that SV!Lex absolutely knows he’s down bad for Clark in a gay way while 2025!Lex has his “I hate you, stupid alien” blinders on so tightly that he doesn’t realize what he really wants is to fuck Superman. SV!Lex is like “we’ll be the stuff of legend” and “you and I share a destiny” and “I’ll always love you” because he knows exactly what’s up, whereas 2025!Lex is like “I’m so obsessed with you that I memorized your every move” and “I tried to start a war just to get a chance to meet you” and “I cloned you” with a big dose of “which could mean nothing!!!”
no notes just this post
It's like we all collectively forgot as a society that friendship and just connection in general takes effort. Even if you meet someone you immediately click with, it takes hanging out about 20 times (!) to become friends. And guess what, some of those 20 meetings might be awkward or unimpressive.
We all want to reap the benefits (having a friend circle, having a partner, getting married) without doing the work (going to events, interacting with people, learning to handle conflict maturely, dating). Myself included. If I could, I'd never leave the house or go on another mediocre date again... except, that's part of the process.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, the cure to the loneliness epidemic is touching some grass and building tolerance for tedious in-person interactions.
