if he doesn’t react like this when he gets to see a picture of you; drop his sorry ass

#this is the standard #if a guy can’t deliver on this i’m out #honestly i won’t ever deal with a one word response to a picture of me ever again #you can shove your ‘cute’ or ‘pretty’ up your ass #if he doesn’t swoon over you like this he does not deserve your attention #do not settle for anything less than this #he got to see half of my face for twenty seconds since it was just a playful snapshot of me getting fancy ice tea #and this is the reaction #raise your standards all the way #no it wasn’t a dirty picture

why did paul say “ somebody “ dropping soon . what does he mean . what does this mean

#i let this linger and like #i do not know what somebody means #why did he pick the word somebody #hello ? #spooky ? #blurry ? #is another ( less important ) bishop gonna die ? #paul Please #hello ? hello ? hello ? #twenty one pilots #twenty øne piløts #tøp #top #top7 #tøp7

nah no way i'm already seeing Lavish and Midwest indigo hate on twitter. i will protect those two as if they were my own children.

#it's been out for less than a day bro #i will never understand “hating” a song from an artist or band you love like do you really love them then #i do think you can dislike a song #but hate is a strong word #and i get it if the song has a connection to something bad or traumatic in your life but #Clancy has been out for LESS THAN A DAY #like come on be fr #sorry dont wanna be negative but #anyways #<3 #twenty one pilots

Ask meme!

I was tagged by @glowwormsmith! Thank you :)

Rules: Spell out your URL using song titles that can describe your muse/OC/pairings, then tag as many people as there are letters in your URL!

My URL isn’t the best for this game because it simply consists of the same two letters twice (I didn’t take the numbers into account), but I still scoured my entire music library to find titles that worked! I chose my OC Taylor Rook, John Seed, and the couple they form in my heart because of course I did. There are four letters in my username so I’m tagging four people: @cassietrn, @laindtt, @simplegenius042, and @strafethesesinners (only if you feel like doing this, of course)!

(Not all the tracks I wanted have lyrics, so I did this a little differently than you did and wrote a little “story” instead):

In Hope County, Taylor really became a “Lurking Danger” [Yoko Shimomura - Final Fantasy XV] and had to walk along many “Unfamiliar Paths” [Cliff Martinez - Far Cry 4]. John kept telling her, “Let The Water Wash Away Your Sins” [Dan Romer - Far Cry 5], but she remained “Untouchable” [Niels Bye Nielsen - HITMAN 2]. As for the Baptist, deep down, he was just a “Lost Child” [Brian Tyler - Far Cry 3], but on the outside, the thing most people noticed and talked about was his “Unsettling Aura” [Yoko Shimomura - Final Fantasy XV]. I wish he had had time to “Learn To Let Go” [Kesha - Rainbow]*, but all he did in the game was try to be “Unstoppable” [Sia - This Is Acting]*. Their story didn’t end well, so in another world, one that only exists in my head, they decide to “Let It Go” [Demi Lovato - Frozen] and stop being “Under The Gun” [Motörhead - Kiss of Death] all the time because I just want them to sing “Love Me Forever” [Motörhead - 1916]* and “Underneath Your Clothes” [Shakira - Laundry Service]* to each other instead!

*actually for these the lyrics also work

#I honestly wish john had healed enough to be able to sing 'learn to let go' #I mean 'I think it’s time to practice what I preach: exorcise the demons inside me'? perfect! #and 'unstoppable' is about suffering inside but wearing a mask of strength and confidence #so basically john (mostly duncan) #and 'under the gun' can be him fantasizing about the deputy too I guess #taylor rook #john seed #john seed x deputy #anyway so it turns out not that many songs start with U #almost all the ones I have are here haha #ask meme #also since we’re talking about my url did you know it’s technically lulu-29-92 and not lulu-2992? #'twenty-nine - ninety-two' and not 'two thousand nine hundred ninety-two' or 'two - nine - nine - two'? #it’s even 'vingt-neuf - quatre-vingt-douze' since I’m french #yes to read 92 we say 'four-twenty-twelve' because we are very weird #the belgians and swiss are less weird they have other words that make more sense

Literally going to go insane

#I had to go into the office where there was NOISe and people #then went to the gym where some asshole was had the audio on the bike on full - not on their headphones! and then they left and someone els #showed up and talked on the phone #and since I got home at 630pm my bf has been on the phone with his family (it's now midnight) #and I love him and that he can talk to his family so long but I can't escape his noise #and now he's fucking singing multiple songs into the phone and I don't know why AND I JUST CANNOT. #I have to go into the office again tomorrow and I'm like. Please. PLEASE can I have silence?????????????????? #it should not be too much to have twenty minutes of not having to hear a god damn voice #and that place should not have to be my CAR when I have to deal with PEOPLE on the road #I should go to bed but this man talks loud af into the phone #I showed up to work on the edge of losing it this morning. I got a new chair but I can't figure out what to do to note make it #AWFUL. and it was making me want to tear off my SKIN #so literally I have just been begging for quiet and less stimulation all day #and instead I'm having to blast music so I don't have to hear his stupid voice singing and doing voices and like ??? bro stfu and let your #parents get in a word or HANG UP. #sorry sorry I'm just losing my mind I need more sleep

Would you be willing to share what extra tone indicators you and your discord server invented? I am fascinated to hear about them!

There are quite a few (we have a whole channel dedicated to them for reference purposes) but I’ll just list some of the ones I find most useful and/or use most often. All examples shown here are real messages from the server.

/flr (for legal reasons, as in "for legal reasons this is a joke.")

basically an extension of /j but more specifically used when talking about activities that are illegal, insinuate the desire to cause harm to self/others, or just generally could get someone in trouble if taken seriously.

Example: "if one of those silly ass motherfuckers says 'boys will be boys' I will personally give them bottom surgery with vintage lawn shears /flr"

/jbnr (joking but not really)

for when things are said in a joking tone but the sentiment is still true, or when the statement is hyperbolic. similar to /hj but somewhat less vague

Example: "i live off of mountain dew and spite /jbnr"

/citation needed (like the wikipedia tag)

for when the statement may or may not be true, but the author doesn't have the time and/or energy to verify, so be skeptical in case it is incorrect. can be used in place of qualifiers like "iirc," "I'm not sure though," or "but don't take my word for it"

Example: "Isn’t Disney like, the fourth greatest supply of explosives in the world? /citation needed"

/lies

for when the statement is untrue. usually used for comedic effect. similar to /j (joking) but specifically for lies. can also be used when a statement was not intended as a lie, but ended up not being true after all.

Example: "starting two new tv shows at 11pm on a monday, this is a good decision /lies"

/sic (as in the latin adverb)

any misspellings or incorrect grammar in this statement are intentional, not typos.

Example: "why is it 80 degrees it's fuckimg NOVEMBER /sic"

/autism, /adhd, and variants

a self-aware nod to the fact that the statement was influenced by the author's neurodivergence

Example: "man i love public transit /autism"

/with love

similar to /genuine or /not mad. for when what you’re saying might seem mean, but it comes from a place of genuine care for the person it’s directed towards

Example: "go microwave a potato or something /with love"

Honorable Mentions:

/context and /clarification

/idk (for when you don't know which tone tags are appropriate)

/unless (a reference to this meme)

/called out (defensive but usually lighthearted. "we know, but hey")

/I don't want to diagnose ppl but what neurotypical person rides a unicycle (this is more of a one-off joke than an actual tone tag but I'm adding it anyway)

#words words words #tone tags #ended up adding more of them than i intended #for context (since this ask is several months old) this discord server has less than twenty people in it #and only around ten or so that are consistently active

[kiragecko]

maybe you already know by now, but phillip kennedy johnson (action comics author) has said that phaelosian girls dont take their fathers full name like kryptonians do! he said otho would be named "otho eshl-ra" if that were the case, but its not

THANK YOU!

I am fine with this! Different cultures can have different naming conventions! That's very normal! As long as this isn't another example of an authour not bothering to learn about what he was writing (like the guy who created Cir-El, or the half-dozen other badly named Kryptonians).

This is very nice to know.

#krypton is probably the only part of the DCU that I would like to return to earth two continuity #even themyscira has some improvements in the new earth and nu52 eras #but people stop caring about krypton (other than the 70s 'love is forbidden' stuff) after the golden age #and it becomes much harder to create something coherent out of what we're given #I've roughly fleshed out a pronunciation for Kryptonese/Kryptonian that works with most of the available words #but some of these recent names really stretch the limits #(the available conlangs ignore most of the names when designing word structure which leaves them less than twenty words to work with) #(so they aren't actually based on much)

[afieldinengland]

my days as an art object are probably over

#i was a teenage dorian #very funny to have that ennui now. i can hardly say you should have seen me at sixteen now can i. but when i was pale and pretty and thin #whenever that was #too much whiskey in my whiskey now i’m all meat and spit #not that that isn’t better but it’s an irreversible change isn’t it. the bronze has hardened in a unique shape #not that i’m asking…. and i’m making it up anyway. did anyone admire me like a dorian? no. well. as something else #a good fuck if i remember someone’s words from too many years ago. a neat phrase and limiting #whatever. idle to want to be adored. that isn’t it. i just think once i probably looked pretty in a way i don’t now #i turn twenty in less than two months

Monkey Man

Summary: A man known only as Kid (Dev Patel) hunts a group of corrupt leaders who burned down his home and killed his mother.

An Indian Western, Morricone via Rahman. Bonkers, bloody, despises throats for some reason. All in all, a confident debut.

Rating: 4.25/5

our memory is getting severely worse and it's fucking terrifying

#unreality tw #i handed someone an object literally five minutes ago #and they turned around after taking it #and the immediate second their back was turned and i couldn't see the object #i completely and totally forgot what the object was or why i was giving it to them or why they wanted it #and they've left so i can't ask #i keep forgetting what I'm talking about mid sentence or mid fucking word even #like i don't even have a vague trace of a topic it's just so completely gone it's so much worse than any forgetting I've ever had before #and it's happening more and more and more and more frequently #like genuinely it's happened at least like five times in the span of the last twenty minutes #probably more i just don't fucking remember #im forgetting how to be alive #i desperately need to live with other people so that this doesn't get exponentially worse #or at least see and talk to people more than like once a fucking week #I'm losing all of my abilities to function and i don't know if they're even possible to fix at this point #i have felt less and less and less real with each passing day #like the opposite of unreality where I'M the ghost and everything else is real #i feel like I don't exist anymore #i haven't felt real since last summer #I'm scared of everything and my body is completely breaking down #and now im forgetting every single thing about myself past and present #I'm terrified #vent #i guess #I'm just terrified

was carrying a freshly painted sign with a comrade when one of his friends- whos bosnian and hates having socialist parents- sees us and goes "ew is that a red star like for communists?" and he goes "yeah" and she goes "but not stalin communists" and he goes "no. we're titoists."

strong contender to my sweet baby sister beefing with reformists in her high school students group when a guy there raged at her that "my grandparents lived in the soviet union! and they were always afraid of ending up in a gulag!" and she just said "well maybe they deserved it"

#in fewer words. i like that people are becoming more radical and less apologetic here as this place gets more barbaric #theres an anarchist left to die of his hunger strike in prison. #theres a 19 girl who hanged herself in a school restroom because she felt like she failed her studies #you're not gonna make me give a twenty page apology about communism before i can say this system fucking sucks. #radio live transmission

ugh my mum refuses the acknowledge that i might be neurodivergent for a literal quarter of my life and NOW she's suddenly badgering me to get a diagnosis

#she keeps emailing me stuff about it #after bringing it up for the first time literally less than a week ago out of the blue #and it's just like. whyyy now? oh wait i know why. because middle-aged neurotypicals have suddenly started campaigning to Start The #Conversation. she probably read about it in the guardian or something #also she keeps using the word ''neurodivergent'' but i GUARANTEE she actually means autistic and still doesn't want to say that word bc it #makes her flinch. i bet she hasn't even considered i might have adhd #aaaanyway sorry for moaning about her again. it's just. when something's a literal elephant in the room for your whole life that you #have to carry round and process all by yourself with literal no help. it's pretty annoying when SUDDENLY your parent who's refused to ever #acknowledge it before jumps in in your mid-twenties and starts trying to dictate everything for you like they still have any authority #emma vents
