It's Kinda Like A Water Spot On The Ceiling That You Didn't Really Notice. Or Maybe You Did, But You
It's kinda like a water spot on the ceiling that you didn't really notice. Or maybe you did, but you didn't think about it much. It catches your eye every so often, and maybe, you briefly try to remember if it was always that size, and work out what's directly above it that might be the cause, but then quickly move on to something else. Meanwhile, the slow creep of rot continues, until one day, the ceiling collapses and you are lost under a pile of shit, the pieces of your crappy life.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

Despicable
Reading pride and prejudice for like the 10th time and what still makes me insane is when Elizabeth and Darcy are together in Kent, Darcy falls more in love with her every day while Lizzy despises him more every day. It's all like
Mr Darcy, internally: wow she truly doesn't give a fuck about my aunt, she will not let herself be intimidated, she stays true to her authentic self plus she plays piano and her eyes are pretty what a woman
meanwhile Lizzy is like: I'VE BEEN HAVING THE WORST TIME IN MY LIFE FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS AND NOW I ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ASSHOLE
you know how mathematicians have the journal of recreational mathematics, right? where they publish stuff like, ‘oh i found this cool property of this one seemingly boring number’, or, ‘this is literally nonsense but it sounds ~scientific~’ and it’s all great fun to read?

with such delightful papers as ‘tennis puns’, ‘animals in different languages’, and ‘gifts from a homonymous benefactor’
excuse me while i go read all 50 volumes in one sitting
