The great thing about fandom/internet friends vs. friends you meet out IRL, is that when you get to know people for the first time face-to-face, there’s this awkward process of trying to figure out juuuust how much of a dork they are, and how much you can nerd out before you scare them off. Like, you don’t wanna break out the real freaky shit right off. There’s always the impulse to hang back a little, as you try to gauge just how into a thing they are. But with fandom friends? You fucking met them in the garbage heap. You knew their fucked up narrative kinks before you even know their real name. They are screaming their passions into the void. Your friendship comes pre-loaded with already knowing the exact depths of each other’s depravity, and any ordinary-people-shit you have in common is just a bonus.
i was talking with my brothers yesterday and we decided the best way to own a guy who takes off his shirt to fight you is to pick his shirt up and put it on
That might be one of the ultimate power moves
or take out your camera and tell him to do blue steel
forgotten highlight of 2017: season 4 of sherlock was literally so bad that the fans that somehow still existed were completely convinced it was intentionally bad and there was gonna be a secret fourth episode that fixed everything
True highlight of 2017: Despite being on tumblr daily I was completely unaware of that there even was a season 4 of Sherlock.
y’all… tangerines, clementines, and mandarins are all types of oranges. “no its a mandarin” “no theyre clementines” “no theyre tangerines” like. you’re trying to correct something by narrowing down instead. “im eating a steak for dinner” “um im pretty sure thats a T-bone” like. congratulations. you narrowed it down. also a tangerine is a type of mandarin orange funny enough, i could be wrong tho.

Okay but they taste different???? Same thing with apples Gala apples are a disgrace red delicious is the shit
they certainly do taste different, among other differences, thus the distinction. but you can’t say a square isn’t a rectangle without being wrong.
ok but in the spirit of the op’s blog, gala apples are vastly superior to red delicious apples, as are basically every single apple ever, because red delicious apples are bullshit
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! let the hate flow through you.
The initial image is a size comparison between the statue of liberty and a wind turbine. The wind turbine is over ninety feet (about 28 meters) taller.
A commenter pretended to misinterpret the image as one of a wind turbine attacking the statue of liberty. The next commenter answered with an image of Don Quixote, a literary character who once thought a windmill was a monster and announced his plans to fight it. They are joking that if a wind turbine attacked the statue of liberty, Don Quixote would be willing to fight the wind turbine.
Incidentally, that scene led to the English idiom “tilting at windmills,” meaning a person who has not only disproportionate reactions of anger, but disproportionate reactions of anger to nonexistent challenges.
So all those people who are fighting to preserve coal jobs and the fossil fuel economy are….
actually…
tilting at windmills.
I feel like this is one of the very few times where explaining the joke leads to another one that everyone can now understand and laugh at
just moving along like everyone else
