if tumblr ever starts forcing us to censor kill and die and murder and fuck and cunt and fag i’m deleting my account and starting an email chain with the mutuals
Wait I just thought about it and it might be cute to bring back wholesome church camp swear-swaps like frick,heck, jeez, mothertrucker. Sometimes the way ppl post we might need a lil. Swear jar,,
absolutely fucking not.
I still use “heck” depending on the context. “Heckin cute” just sounds more wholesome than “Fucking cute”. It’s all in the tone.
Also it’s sometimes so much funnier to use non swears.
I still think about that scene from Night In The Woods where (spoilers) Mae has a near death experience and a mascot shark in the darkness says “You’ve been Danged to Heck” and laugh about it.
You’re all missing the point luvs 💚 peace and love
“No guys don’t worry getting censored is like, soooooo fun we can have sleepover activities like making up words that are less impactful to not upset advertisers ” SHUT the fuck up please
When i was a little kid, i had a “4d puzzle” of new york city.
You built the cardboard jigsaw base, then the foam island, and then you had plastic buildings and bridges.
And it had instructions to place the buildings in chronological order, as well as a timeline, hence “4d”.
And i just fucking remembered. In 2001 on the timeline a step was “remove buildings #xx and #xy (World Trade Centers)” with no other explanation.
And as a kid i had no clue what that meant, but looking back on it my puzzle really just told me “alright kid, do a 9/11” and i, age 5, went along with it.
Congrats on having by far the funniest tags on this post so far.
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
I couldn’t remember the word “doorknob” ten minutes ago.
ok but the onelook thesaurus will save your life, i literally could not live without this website

there are actually only 2 movie genres. the ones where u have to remain completely silent throughout the whole film, and the ones where u have to comment on whatevers happening on screen every 5 minutes
This is not anthropomorphization but genuinely something theyre known to do. I’ve heard divers say octopuses and cuttlefish get fascinated by hand gestures and will sometimes respond to them like. We probably do look like we have little cephalopods on the ends of our arms, to them. Like we’re always putting on a puppet show.
I know everyone says it’s best to just stick to “said” as a dialogue tag bc it disappears and that’s true and I mostly do but I want to take a moment for my all-time favorite dialogue tag, “lied.” Absolutely nothing hits like “‘I’m here to help,’ he lied.” NOTHING.
ABSOLUTELY one of my favourites.
“Said” stays low, so “lied” can hit the reader with impact once you use it.
the wii still feels like the height of technology to me. like it feels like a mystical thing to use
