do you ever see someone in some quiet intimate moment and suddenly love them so desperately you feel like you’re dying

#like when they pass a mirror and make a face and mess with their hair a little #or when you hear someone singing in their car with the windows rolled up as they drive past you #i don’t know how to express this i just. people are people and it makes me so sad and filled up sometimes

I love seeing grown humans setting about little creative tasks out of boredom and then looking quietly pleased with themselves, like maybe a middle-aged woman on her train home from work manages to make a tower out of empty coffee creamers and gazes at it proudly for a few seconds.

I love seeing other people make the overblown OOPS I FORGOT SOMETHING performance for no-one that most of us do when we have to turn around in the middle of the pavement.

I love seeing stony-faced people in queues unable to contain a smile when a baby looking over its mother’s shoulder in front of them locks eyes and does that astonished stare.

– when someone is standing in line and they don’t quite dance to the music playing, but you can SEE their head bop and them mouthing the words

– when someone thinks no one’s paying attention and they sing-talk themselves thru a task

– when they laugh or try to hide a laugh when looking at their phone

– when someone does the thing where they enter another space (such as a supermarket aisle) striding with total purpose, then suddenly forget what they’re doing/looking for, and stop there looking blank for a millisecond while they reboot. 

– when people are looking for scissors, in their home or in a store, and they make the scissors gesture with their non-dominant hand as an aid to remind them what they’re doing.

– when automatic social interactions glitch, like when you tell a waiter that you hope he enjoys his food too, or tell the stranger on the phone that you love them. 

– the hand gesture people make when they’re thinking at their computer, not typing, and their elbow rests on the table, and they feel the edge of their fingernail with their thumb. This is such a lovely little gesture and to my knowledge I have never seen it in fiction. You’d think it would come up all the time in fic.

– when you’re sharing an experience with a complete stranger (like watching a seagull throw up in public, or waiting for a late train) and you make eye contact, and some comment to each other, and then you guys are, like, ALLIES now. Like you would willingly ride to war to save them. You can’t make eye contact again, but you are very aware of them. 

– just evidence of other people’s rich, baffling and complex inner lives.

#this is it, #this is the thing, #when i say love your neighbor, #this is what i mean, #when you look at random people and it’s just like, #yes, #i know you, #i know you because you’re me, #and we’re all here together, #just humaning as hard as we can, #and isn’t it kind of great.

there’s that post going around about sans’ “on days like these, kids like you… should be  b u r n i n g  i n  h e l l” line being completely badass and i agree but for me nothing is gonna beat burgerpants smoking a blunt and looking at the kid who’s murdered most of the underground and just going “i can’t go to hell. i’m all out of vacation days.”

things that canonically exist in the taz universe:

– pro wrestling
– cooking shows
– kids detective novels
– craigslist, only it’s a literal list made by craig, a gnome
– depression and nihilism so powerful it turns you and everyone in your world into a dimension-eating hivemind abomination
– an entire town full of clones of a specific real-world radio personality

things that canonically don’t exist in the taz universe:

– the number 69
– cheese

Good good OOC TAZ things

because the fact this thing was made by three nerd brothers and their nerd dad is a cornerstone of what makes it so great

  • Griffin introducing an NPC and instantly going ‘shit I have to come with a voice’
  • Griffin coming up with a voice and then instantly retconning it because he hates it
  • The boys’ derisive yet affectionate mockery of their dad’s horrendously out of date pop culture jokes
  • Clint’s horrendously out of date pop culture jokes
  • The use of nicknames (Juice, Griffy, Ditto etc.)
  • The unironic use of the word ‘Daddy’
  • Justin growing outrage at everyone else’s lack of character voices
  • One of the players suggesting something really stupid and Griffin’s deadpan voice saying ‘you die instantly’
  • Something bad happens/is about to happen and you just hear Travis go ‘well tits’
  • ‘which celebrity would you say this new NPC most resembles?’
  • Some dope plot twist occurs and one or more players breaks character to congratulate Griffin on how dope it is
  • Justin laughing so hard it sounds like he’s dying
  • Someone trying to surreptitiously open a bag of snacks but it ruins the audio and everyone else yells at them
  • Clint never knowing what dice to roll
  • One or more of them bursting into song
  • Someone making a hella good attack roll and Griffin going ‘holy shit’
  • ‘You’ve solved my [X] puzzle!’
  • Someone does some crazy-ass stunt and it works and the others start cheering and clapping

halloween safety tho

from someone who runs a haunted house; there’s a lot of stuff i’ve seen + nobody really seems 2 want to talk about? so like nobody cares + this will be boring but like pls. just read it . pls. im not going to try and talk you out of any behaviors, just tell you how to maybe cut the possibility that these behaviors will cause harm.

  • don’t crack glowsticks + use the glow as skin paint why do ppl do that it’s toxic please stop doing that
  • im team “dress as u wish” but i also suggest sewing a pocket into your costume. include ur id + 20 bucks in cash + maybe your phone. make it have a zipper/velcro/button close. tbh i sew mine into my bra. this makes it a lot harder to lose important things if you have to run from the cops zombies
  • a good rule of thumb (always tbh) is to follow fairy rules on this night. don’t eat or drink anything offered to you unless you know the person is safe.
  • yes i mean eating things, trust me, don’t do it
  • if this is ur first time trying weed, don’t wait until you’re drunk. also give yourself at least 2 hours before you say “it’s not working”. take it slow.
  • please don’t do serious drugs, but if you’re gonna, write down what you took. if it goes by a street name, ask what it’s close to. write that down on your arm/somewhere safe. in case of accidental overdose, it will help emts
  • on that note, emts are there to help you, don’t lie to them, they’re not cops, just tell them what you/the person took + how much
  • know the signs and symptoms of an overdose. if your friend is exhibiting signs of an overdose, don’t sweat the possibility you might be wrong. better safe than sorry.
  • same goes for liquor. even if you’re underage, call somebody if you need to. know the signs of poisoning can differ from person to person; look for things like inability to speak, falling down, falling asleep while talking, or blue lips. excessive shivering is bad too.
  • please for the love of god make sure you and your friends check your normal medications before you mix drugs together. weed/liquor and antidepressants are known not to mix; don’t you dare do antibiotics and liquor or i’ll be Very Disappointed. if you don’t know if your daily medication has a bad interaction with something, don’t take it. and yeah, btw? some things are known to cancel the effects of birth control. so really, be careful
  • lots of teenagers will try drinking. i cannot legally tell you that’s a good idea. but i can maybe offer some tips from someone who has made Many Mistakes to help u Drink Responsibly
  • keep a tally of what u drank. disguise it so it’s not tally marks. i usually use something festive. it helps me remember to slow down bc i make it so i have to have at least one glass of water per 2 marks. if you don’t want a hangover, do 1 to 1. 
  • also if you don’t want a hangover start drinking water now. dehydration is cumulative, so if you only drink water on the day of, your body won’t really feel it. aim for at least half a gallon a day this week. drink ¾ a gallon on the day of. i usually top that off when i come home with another ¼. it works wonders. 
  • generally, the more sugar in the drink, the worse your stomach will feel
  • do not drink on an empty stomach. do not. do … not. put a fry in there, i don’t know. eat something.
  • do not drive drunk. just don’t. there are apps u can use to call cars now.  back in my day we just had to shame-dial our parents and beg them to forgive us the next day
  • also just. don’t feel like you have to do or take anything from anyone. whenever i feel pressured to drink but don’t want to (and yes!! i’m an adult and i can feel that way!!) i tend to take something i don’t like (i won’t be tempted by the taste) and like… just hold it. for the whole night. nobody notices. thanks, social anxiety, for making this a problem.
  • my general rule of thumb is that if you can’t run in your shoes, you shouldn’t wear them. 
  • if you notice someone ruining props or being a jerk, please stop them if it’s safe to do so. just say “hey dude, not cool.” it works?? so well???
  • don’t scare little kids you don’t know. idk why teens love doing this. u have no idea what that little kid has as personal needs. 
  • if you feel unsafe, leave. it’s hard to do, but you need to. don’t go into the abandoned building, don’t go into the stranger’s house. just don’t. listen to your gut. there’s a difference between “spooked” and “this is genuinely a bad idea”.
  • graveyards are cool but please don’t break the tombstones that’s just rude
  • keep black pets inside.
  • have an emergency name + number somewhere secret. 
  • don’t walk on a dark road w/out lights why do teenagers always do this yeah it feels cool and spooky but u gon be roadkill
  • masks really upset one of my friends but he feels uncomfortable admitting it and what we learned is that if you say “can you take a picture with me? you look so cool! where’d you get that costume?” most people will be very friendly + you’ll get to hear their voice, which helps. also u can just ask ppl to take their mask off, but fyi some will be v annoying about this
  • taking a picture of something proves if that something is real.
  • stand up for your friends. talk 2 them beforehand about problems they might have and u might have. i can’t ask ppl for things for my own anxiety, but if i know “okay, he needs me to ask the person w/a knife to leave” i am?? suddenly superpowered? 
  • have a buddy or 3 and make sure you all go home together.
  • the best advice i’ve ever gotten for enjoying a party was “always leave a party while everyone is still having fun.” 
  • good luck out there be safe happy haunting

More fun facts about ancient Celtic marriage laws: There were no laws against interclass or interracial marriage, no laws against open homosexual relationships (although they weren’t considered ‘marriages’ since the definition of a marriage was ‘couple with child’), no requirement for women to take their husband’s names or give up their property, but comedians couldn’t get married

It’s Adam and Eve not Adam Sandler and Eve

I want to expound upon “comedians couldn’t get married” thing because it’s actually really interesting.

Satire was respected in Ancient Ireland. It was thought to have great power, enough to physically maim the subject one was making jokes about. Satirists could bring down kings with a witty enough insult. That was actually their original function. When the king didn’t do right by his people, a bard was supposed to compose a poem so scathing it would raise welts on the king’s skin to oust him (it was illegal for a “blemished” king to rule.) Unwarranted satire was considered a form of assault.

So what it boils down to is ancient Celts being like “These people are too dangerous to reproduce. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH CHILDREN. EVER.”

whats a king to a bard

Thats literally a dnd skill

Vicious Mockery is an IRL bard skill and the Irish feared it greatly.

Look, how else are we supposed to amuse ourselves? Vicious mockery is how we bond
