Let me express to you the unique struggle of playing an sport that nobody knows about (tm). The thing is that every time someone asks you if you play a sport, you either have to awkwardly lie and say no or go through the effort of explaining the whole thing! I’ve gone through the point system of rhythmic gymnastics so many times I want to scream~ Similar to other dance-adjacent sports, no one thinks it’s a real sport, either! Like, you think the splits don’t take effort? You wanna memorize these routines? Also, with rhythmic gymnastics specifically, everyone always thinks you do aRtIsTiC gymnastics, and then as well as explaining the sport itself you also have to explain how it differs from its sister sport. It’s,,, so,,,, annnnoyyyying.

oh my god rainbow magic. i’ve been thinking about rainbow magic so much recently, i legitimately started rewriting the entire series (which has 200+ books and is still ongoing, by the way) 

There’s got to be a term to describe that like. Extremely specific era of children’s literature where all the books were novellas printed on low quality paper, pumped out on a near monthly basis, and made for series that sometimes stretched into hundreds of books

Animorphs. Goosebumps. Bailey School Kids. Babysitter’s Club. Magic Treehouse. Series that plague public libraries and second hand book stores to this day. A genre that was nearly wiped out overnight by the success of Harry Potter, and the newfound desire for kids to read long form literature

It was like pulp fiction for kids

has this been written? where can i find it? i have so many questions? 

one of my favourite parts about this fandom is just how everybody seems to have collectively decided that if logan had a weapon it would be a baseball bat

like- nothing thats high tech or anything that would be most logical to defend yourself with in a violent situation like maybe a gun or something more sciency like a scalpel- NO!! this boy will gets himself a BAT because he HAS. pent up ANGER and FRUSTRATION. and he WILL be breaking peoples SKULLS.

....why is this giving me iDeAs™

Not gonna specifically tag anyone...but reblog if you feel like it and put yours in the tags.

hey reblog this if you think mocking someone for their lisp/stutter/speech impediment/etc is fucked up

oh my god what- this explains so much- why has no one told me this before- i need to take notes 

To my friends on the spectrum, let me explain to you an unspoken social rule that possibly nobody has ever explained to you before

If a neurotypical asks you, “What game are you playing?” they’re not asking you to describe the game.

They’re asking you if they can play too.

If a neurotypical asks you, “What are you watching?” they’re not asking you to explain the plot of the movie/tv show to them.

They’re asking if they can watch it with you.

.

When neurotypicals ask you “What are you doing?” 

What you think they’re asking: “Please explain to me what you are doing.” 

What they’re actually asking:  “Can I join you?”

Now here’s the really fucked up part. If you start explaining to them what you’re doing? They will interpret that as a rejection. 

What you think you’re saying: [the answer to their question]

What they think you’re saying: This is an elite and exclusive activity for a level 5 friend and you are a level 1 acquaintance. You are not qualified to join me because you don’t know all this stuff. Go away.

.

This is why neurotypicals think you’re being cold and antisocial.

IT’S ALL A HORRIBLE MISCOMMUNICATION.

...Honestly this is the better avengers. Not tryna diss avengers or anything, just facts. 

longcat is probably dead :(

Ice pops, shopping cart, hair tie

I have a question. What do you call these three things? They have different names depending on where you live, and I’m curious.

It has been added to my bulletin board.

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. 

“A scam” people are fucking wild.  

...mindless screeching bc queen of mean is /audrey’s/ song, not mal’s... 

“I never get Miraculous Ladybug AMVs that use songs like “Queen of Mean” or “Crossing The Line” to summarize Chloe’s and Lila’s situations. Like. they’re in the predicaments that they’re in because of reasons that are mostly their fault, not just some bad luck. They never really got to suffer or know the value of hard work. They aren’t characters like Cassandra (Tangled) and Mal (Descendants). Their characters don’t match theirs at all in my opinion.”

I just started watching the owl house and oh my god Lumity. They’ve only interacted thrice and I’m already addicted.

When Alvar lost his memories and stuff, Alden and Della tried to make a cake for Alvar and Fitz stared them dead in the eyes before saying, “No. The cake is sacred.” 

kotlc headcanon(s?)

Dex is a good baker because of all his practice in alchemy with his dad, and Keefe is a good artist because of his photographic memory and drawing practice 

so hear me out: Dex and Keefe collab to do baking projects together

I am absolutely thrilled that the Spanish Flu is relevant again. It was one of my NHD projects so if anyone wants my basic rant about the Spanish Flu’s origins I’m here. The other one was Elizabeth Blackwell, so if you want to hear about women revolutionizing medical education, I can do that . Idk what I’m doing next year yet. Basically I’m saying that I know nothing about history except for two very specific things and if anyone wants to hear rants about these things I will do so happily.

This has the same energy as:

Ironwood: if you were one of my men I’d shoot you

Qrow: if I was one of your men I’d shoot myself

and I’m living for it

kinney: if you were my wife i’d poison your drink

iko: if i were your wife i’d drink it

Changing your username because you were totally going to do kotlc only but you’re way too easily distracted and you read too many books to stick to one thing.

sophie drawing perfect hands on her first try: wow keefe you’re really talented! hands are so hard!

keefe redrawing the hands for the fiftieth time: sophie, you have no idea.

biana: hhh keefe is so talented

marella: i heard he can paint almost anything without a reference photo

dex: i dont doubt it. his skills are absolutely insane!

keefe on the other side of the room, trying to draw a proper hand for the twelfth time that morning and shaking in anger: why do i torture myself like this

Yo ✌🏻

Reblog if you’d be okay if your friend came out as transgender

let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out

*casually saves literature memes about books I’ve never actually read*

*waves awkwardly*

Reblog if you're in the kotlc fandom

I wanna see how many of us there are

Whenever Keefe makes fun of his bangs he pretends like it doesn’t matter, but actually it makes him wonder if he made a mistake not only dipping his bangs but running away. Eventually he snaps and shows Keefe the scar and they have a nice solidarity moment, maybe Keefe talks about his mom stabbing him or something.

Headcanon that Tam has a scar on his head from that one time he dipped his bangs in molton iron or whatever

let’s be honest, this isn’t a theory. it’s just canon. 

A theory my friend has:

So, I told my friend (who’s also read kotlc) about the melves. They thought it was unlikely, but mostly because there’s not any mention of gay elves. 

So, then they said that maybe just all the gay elves live on the moon. 

Like, a runaway group who have basically disowned elven culture for its rigid matchmaking rules and surrounding shame.

Unpopular opinion, 396 pages in and Flashback is probably my favorite kotlc book so far.

Tiergan x Prentice is an amazing ship, this is my hill and I will die on it.

Like, they have a son already!
