when im in a memory-wiped-antagonist (?) competition and my opponent is... my best friend?

posting this for no particular reason

"you just got to learn to go with the flow bugaboo" Chat noir- er- Chatte Noire said

"how can you possibly be ok with this?" the newly masculine ladybug said as she swatted another attack away with her Yo-Yo

"why would i not be? this is awesome!" the akuma of the day had a power that let her swap the sex of anyone she touched. most people she had hit found the experience deeply unpleasant, but Chat- er Chatte seemed to be having a blast

She was laughing and joking, as light hearted as ever "you cant tell me you've never wanted to be a guy before! everyone wants to try being the opposite sex. ya know she really isn't causing too much trouble all things considered, would it reeeally be that bad to leave her for like, an hour or two"

ladybug made a mental note to talk to her partner about her feelings towards her gender... after they dealt with this akuma

adrien comes out as trans mtf to gabriel but he doesnt know how to support her so he takes a seminar on raising queer children but as hawkmoth to avoid controversy

Saw this panel and immediately thought of them

uh oh !

It’s crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.

It’s like. When I was told to “just be yourself” as a kid I thought it was a passive thing. Like oh easy I just have to sit here and be myself. but the reason so many people think that “being yourself” is bullshit advice is because you actually have to make active choices to do this and it WILL make your life way more fun. You have to wear t-shirts of bands that were popular ten years ago because you like them. You have to do your hair in a way that you find cute or comfortable even if it’s “so nineties”. If your friend says a food you enjoy is gross to them, you can’t be afraid to admit you casually disagree. You have to do hobbies that you’re interested in even if you’re bad at them and you cant feel like you have to get good at something before you tell people it’s an activity you do. You have to read manga and comic books in public and get piercings your relatives think are unattractive. You don’t have to tell people you dislike that you dislike them, but you don’t have to give them your time and attention either. You have to rewatch that kids show you’re nostalgic for even if you’re in your 30s. You have to change your name if you hate it, even if only a few close friends can know. You have to get fun girly drinks at the bar. You have to order hot chocolate when you don’t like coffee and black coffee when you don’t like sweet things. I am still bad at practicing this but it is the only way to make it all tolerable.

First you have to realize that "yourself" is a construct built by the decisions you make. Then it becomes clear that being yourself is a deliberate and intentional practice, not a passive state of existence.

reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead

I conjured up a little headache just to contribute

who doesn't love a ball toy pit?

ever wondered how many crabs might fit in a confined space? what number of horses might go into a padded pool? what quantity of paws might populate a pit typically filled with colorful plastic balls? well, you’re in luck.

for no reason at all, we have decided to make you do some math: we have filled a ball pit measuring exactly 32” x 8" with some true tumblr icons. more pics below (including, of course, a banana for scale). you have 24 hours to guess how many of each toy appears. good luck!

but that's not all—we have more polls for your guessing pleasure:

poll 1: how many crabs have infested the pool? poll 2: what number of mini horse friends? poll 3: how many tiny toe beans are contained within?

happy voting!

🦀 🐴 🐾 🦀 🐴 🐾

well folks, after 24 hours in the ball toy pit and a total of 219,643 total votes across the polls, it's time to find out who was right!

there were a total of 773 toys in the pit, making 30.1% of the 79,326 people who voted correct! as far as individual toys go, here's the breakdown:

crabs: 239 (19.6% of the 44,845 votes) horses: 299 (27.5% of the 45,270 votes) paws: 235 (27.7% of the 50,202 votes)

we had a blast looking through the notes at all your very complicated math—truly impressive!

is there a term or encompassing word for "i see the argument you're trying to make and i agree with that but i don't agree with the actual words you're saying. why are you wording it like that"

i will never, and i mean this, Ever buy a video game for 80 american dollars. this is a core part of my being. i will not be moved from this position

"ooh ahhh inflation" i wasn't paying full price then either; i learned about emulators and indie games like 20 years ago. Never Pay More Than [adjust this quote for inflation] For A Computer Game

I’ve got it right here:

You’re welcome.

tragic. 37 clowns were killed today in a devastating one car pile up.
