A list of some of my favorite things overheard at school, part four:

“My chest is tight” - “Well now that you mention it I feel it too, but it might just be mass hysteria.”

“Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen him in anything other than a bathing suit.” - “Who hurt you like this, Ginger?”

“It’s cold and tiny like my aspirations in life.”

“Yarg! My Mexican will defeat you!”

“THIS IS A NON CONSENSUAL MINE CART RIDE.”

“Guys. What if, one day, we tried?”

“Fortnite fandom, for the win!”

“Save the tires!”

“That’s my personal opinion on how animals should wear pants, the other way just looks weird.” 

“Here, have a foot- I hope it sucks!”

lost in thought

Endlessly scrolling

Searching for new obsessions

Oh, did you leave me?

my heart skips a beat

Oh my gosh your laugh

Makes articulation hard

You’re too damn pretty

Comment on fanfics

A few days back on AO3 I found an unfinished, two chapter spideypool fanfic that was cute and had lots of potential and was also last updated two years ago. Two whole years! And it had only three comments, all of which on chapter one, none on chapter two. I enjoyed the fanfic, despite it being far, FAR from being finished and the chance of it ever updating again anytime soon was just about zero. So you know what I did?

I wrote a damn comment. On chapter two.

And I made sure that fucker was long and had a small theory of where I think the author would take the fanfic in the future. I let the person behind the fic know that I friggin LOVED the two chapters I got to read! That I would LOVE to see more! That I’d jump out of my skin in happiness and virtually hug them half to death if I saw that they updated it.

Let me remind you this fic wasn’t updated in two YEARS! I was the first to comment on it in a year. And the first to comment on chapter two! And you know what happened today?

I got a reply.

From the author of the fanfic. And the author said how I gave them life for a project they had loved (still did) and that they were now working on a third chapter. After two YEARS of not updating. Of not writing. And it makes me so friggin happy seeing what I did. What I caused.

With a single. Damn. Comment.

All that it took for me was to think a bit about what I wanted to tell the author and the comment it. All it took was one comment. And suddenly this person was inspired to continue a fanfic they had abandoned for TWO YEARS!!

I couldn’t be happier. I couldn’t be more proud.

Comment on people’s fanfics. No matter how few chapters there are. No matter how many years have passed since their last update. Comment. You like a fanfic? Comment on it. It’s that easy.

Me, watching Thor Ragnarok: My space children! :D

My mother, desperately: YOU DON’T HAVE ANY CHILDREN PLEASE STOP

A list of some of my favorite things overheard at school, part six:

“Oh, it’s asshole Santa... he’s also missing a foot. That’s what he gets for abusing misfit toys. Who’s the misfit now, Santa?”

“Maybe you should dial back the shrine to yourself...” - “NO! It’s a sign I’m destined for greater shrines!”

“Aloha from second block! We’re learning about... sexual reproduction! On that note, happy birthday!”

“Is he the conservative one?” - “Everyone has their faults...”

“The bus is a homophone, pass it on.” - “Yeah, that was the worst hate crime I have ever experienced.”

“Why do I have clothes on???” 

“Your hetero side chicks bore me.”

“Toys for tots, slang for sluts.”

“There are two potions here- love is love, or Jesus.”

“Stare into my eyes... to assess the size of my pupils.”
