#lose this number

[mrmatthewconnor]

My new music video is out today!! Lyrics & credits under the cut ♥️

Lose This Number

lose this number

we don't know each other anymore

whatever that was, that was before

and now it's done

oceans crashing, galaxies collapsing in the hum

from here to wherever you're calling from

lose this number

i gotta run



what have they been telling you?

where have those flowers gone?

when the world is cleaved in two

whose side will you be on?



rome is burning

even so, it's home and here i'll stay

you're hoping the flames won't spread your way

i'm sure you'll be fine

how with this rage?

i've worked my fingers raw, what have you done?

if i can't trust you, i can't trust anyone

lose this number

i'm sure you'll be fine



what have they been telling you?

where have those flowers gone?

when the world is cleaved in two

whose side will you be on?



when they come for me, and they're going to come

don't you come running to my aid

when they come for me, and they're going to come

don't you come running to my aid

oh, when they come for me, and they're going to come

don't you come running to my aid

i'll be gone by then, long gone by then

long gone, long gone

so long...

my hot take is none of phil's 'wild northern childhood anecdotes' are actually at all weird he just phrases things in a funny way. dan lost his mind abt the whole dog warden thing and the literal story was just 'i won a school contest as a kid and got to meet the mayor of a small town'. when i was that age i was in the newspaper for making a flute out of a sweet potato small english primary schools were just LIKE that. this is not a dig btw it's just proof phil is a comedy genius bc he makes all these very normal things sound absolutely bizarre just by stringing words together in a way no human being has ever previously managed

#and i love him. and i laugh more at dan losing his mind every time than at the actual stories #dnp #phan #<for the fandommetrics even tho theres no WAY we get number 1 this week lmao #amazingphil #dan and phil

"You can't change people's minds" where does the change in social change come from then? Spare coins?

Not everyone is up to debate and convince people otherwise but that's why activism is a skill worth learning. Just because you couldn't do it doesn't make it impossible.

#democracy is a numbers game #if you assume a strategy of decreasing your numbers #or even a strategy where increasing your numbers is seen as an impossible feat #you are going to lose

i know people are good because of this: the universe often assigns me side quests. in a circular strangeness; despite my inability to locate my-own-anything, i am almost-always finding someone else's lost things. dogs, coats, phones, cash, laptops. it happens so often it's almost tiring; suddenly being looped into a tiny amount of detective work.

but when i'm with other people who are not used to this: the response is almost invariably delight. yes, maybe they are simply thrilled by the mystery. it's just... they light up so much. i think maybe more... i think they like the opportunity to do something kind.

a few weeks ago, i was at a bar and i found a wallet as soon as we stepped outside. i felt nervous to ask for help, worried i would be holding up the night. i picked it up and said go on without me, i should help this get back to its home.

instead, three people pulled out their phones - to find him on facebook, to help cancel his credit cards. two people went back into the bar to tell the bartender, two others went calling down the street. group texts, facebook posts, instagram stories. people, without even seeing what happened, start offering help to me. fifteen minutes and: someone knows someone who knows the guy. the cheer that went up - just for finding him, just for this small thing. someone gets him on the phone. strangers dance around me, hopping on their feet - are you the girl that found that wallet? good for you, that's a good thing you're doing/same thing happened to me and somebody did what you're doing and i thank god everyday for people like you/i can't believe you found him so fast this is so exciting

i gave it back to him in a parking lot. i watched his shoulders sag with relief. there was cash in it still - he checked the pocket, and then sheepishly held the money out to me. i didn't take it. i held up my hands. "it's no problem, man. i know you'd do the same for me."

i don't know him, to be honest. i don't know if he is the same kind of person i am. but he nodded at me.

and i know people are good. i know people are good, because the way this story ends isn't surprising. we wave goodbye awkwardly. my friend loops their arm around me.

"i can't believe we got it back to him," they said. "i'm going to be riding that high for weeks."

#i lost my wallet in disney world once #and really thought i had beefed it bc i was 19 and alone #and a woman got it back to me within an hour #just like . a mom #i have no idea how she got my number or info #and i do think that since then karmatically god has been like. #ur about to be the same person in someone else's life #btw i like the side quests but they never happen at a good time #once saved 2 lost dogs while on the way to the airport. i already had my 70 pound dog in the back of my car #and had to chase 2 dogs down the street to wrastle into my passenger seat #(she ended up writing me the fucking nicest thank you card and sending me WAY #W A Y too much in target bucks as a thank-you) #i went 2 go see batman the other night and legit like. had already been running late #to go see a friend #and instead was like. sorry i have to step outside and use this person's phone to see if i can find them #i once found 250 dollars in cash lol #MEANWHILE IN MY PRIVATE LIFE #I LOSE FUCKING EVERYTHING #adhd will be like #: thou art so observant that it is distracting : #: BUT not observant towards items that are not novel to you : #: die mad about it : #: so it is written. so it must be : #: no nobody saw where you put the fucking car keys :

hello, this is an appreciation post for taylor moore of fortunate horse.

the opening and closing stings of Worlds Beyond Number are deeply enjoyable every single time but oooooooooh. the score at the end of ep 11 (the threatening might of the imperium) is a bassier, more sinister version of the score in ep 01 (the celebrated might of the imperium? OOOOOHHHHHHH so good.

#friends i am LOSING IT #thank you for keeping me company during my shitty workdays #worlds beyond number #the wizard the witch and the wild one #podcasts #paaa

Idk Idea 001

Just read It's Just a Prank, Bro by Tachvintlogic on AO3 and, man, now my brain is coming up with concepts for a similar idea like:

Danny having many run-ins with Constantine where Danny will say something or give some "advice" for something he sees as a Problem TM.

Note: Danny does not have the same views as most people on what is and isn't good/bad.

Their first interaction: They meet at a bar and Danny warns him about his smoking habit. Constantine ignores the "advice" and later it turns out his current box of cigarettes have been laced with poison. Constantine—after leaving the Justice League's medical ward a week later—proceeds to lose his goddamn mind about this random guy who maybe knew about it.

Constantine goes out and tracks down this guy he met once in a bar only to find that Danny has no idea what he's talking about poisons and assassination attempts, but is he alright? Danny being concerned for this dude who tracked him down and doesn't even care that John was accusing him of being part of the assassination attempt.

(No Ghost King!Danny AU where Danny retires as teen hero and now is living his best life as just a dude who goes to work and—sure, occasionally visiting friends in the ghost zone—doesn't do crime fighting much anymore.)

So Constantine leaves convinced Danny is Just Some Guy and this was a coincidence. Danny walks him to the door politely and cracks a joke about being careful not to trip on cracks on the sidewalk, don't want to make it easier on the assassins, right?

Two days later, Constantine trips on uneven sidewalk and accidentally sets off a trap that gets him kidnapped by assassins. Goddamnit.

Just, accidental prophet Danny.

#Danny's not doing it on purpose lmao he just talks or makes jokes aND IT HAPPENS #Constantine loses his mind about it after they test it and confirms it's not on purpose and Danny can't just decide what comes true #ideas #DaeBear Ideas #gonna just start labeling ideas by number just to see how large the number gets lmao #idk what to call this AU tho... whatever let's just go simple #Accidental Prophet Danny AU #text #DPxDC

I will say this once because I'm tired of seeing stupid discourse: anti-transmasculinity is not about being treated bad because we clock as men, it's about being treated as stupid little girls because transphobes think we've been tricked into this.

It's kind of the opposite of transmisogyny- instead of fear and revulsion, it's constant condescension, the implications that we've been whisked away from femininity by scary bad guys, that we're going to cause 'irreparable damage' because we don't know what's best for ourselves, somehow. People fearmonger a lot about the "ugliness" of transfem people, but for transmasc people that 'ugliness' is used as a warning- you'll look like THIS! You'll go BALD! Your top surgery scars will leave you MUTILATED! A lot of aesthetic concerns. Worry about our 'beauty'. Because it comes from that same stupid reactionary 'we gotta SAVE the WOMEN' shit, but this time they have to save them from getting 'stolen away', as if we're being seduced or pressured into this. As if we can't make our own decisions.

For TERFS specifically, they're losing one of their own. We're 'gender traitors', willingly aligning ourselves with the half of the population they consider unilaterally dangerous and evil.

We aren't REALLY trans, we just want the benefits that men get. You don't actually want to transition, you're just trying to avoid misogyny.

You aren't actually a man, you're just a self-loathing lesbian.

Why can't you just be a butch girl? Why can't you just be a tomboy?

Why can't you just be something that I don't think is icky?

Anyway. Like all things, it boils down to misogyny. Women stupid and gentle, dont know what best for them, evil men trick into taking man juice, must save because lady stupid and dont know what best for them (having babies and being Feminine).

Theres like. Obviously more to this but I'm just a Transmasc Rando explaining this from my perspective, and I'm not the best with words. Anyone is free to hop in and add on to this

#long post #transphobia #spitblaze says things #anti-transmasculinity #several disclaimers #i do not think misandry is real. #i think stigmatization of masculinity is real with a lot of women and terfs specifically #i think a lot of people whether they know it or not consider men to be inherently 'bad' #i think men are very often treated as emotionless and 'tough' by default which causes a lot of issues #but thats not anywhere near the level of misogyny. its a separate issue and not related #im not trying to say that trans men somehow have it 'worse' than trans women?? what would thay even accomplish. this isnt a pissing contest #and even if it was I'd lose #and my wording isnt the best bc this is a Midnight Rant and not a scholarly article #if you want to pick a fight about semantics consider that theres a good chance that i genuinely didnt realize what i said #anyway uh. yeah. this discourse is dumb i cant belive its happening #and i especially cant belive how bad people are at articulating the actual point of the matter #(not that im one to talk lmao) #doin numbers

Hey Piano!

The other day I was looking through Mario movie stuff (A.k.a how I spend most of my free time) and I came across this!

It’s more of a size chart but we still kinda get an idea of how tall everyone is in the movie….so yeah!

Okay, the height difference between Mario and Peach has me convinced that Mario is definitely shorter than 5'1 in this universe. I added a red line here to represent how tall Mario would actually be without his hat:

If each line represented one foot, Mario would be about 5'4, but if that were the case Princess Peach would be 7 feet tall, and Bowser would be almost 12 feet tall (if we're including his shell.)

It is commonly believed that Princess Peach is 6 foot. So, If we recalculate accordingly... that would mean that each line represents roughly 10.3 inches. Based on this assumption, I present to you the new canon heights of the Mario cast:

Do what you will with this information.

#What's crazy is Bowser is both BIGGER than I thought and the Mario bros are smaller than I thought #which I should've seen coming since Bowser was easily able to hold Luigi in one hand #...But Mario... oh Mario I'm so so sorry but how are you so small I'm losing my mind #But I am also very bad at math so if my numbers are off please feel free to correct me #Mario Movie #super mario bros #the super mario brothers #Mario #Luigi #Bowser #Princess Peach #Kamek #Toad #luigi1o27632 #askbox
