The Way Tumblr Butchers The Quality And The Frame Size Of This Video Is Atrocious, But At This Point

I think I just had the most beautiful interaction of my life.

I had a little bit of a breakdown outside of a pizza place earlier today. I cried harder than I have in years, tears pelting the concrete like rain and cloudy glasses. In the moment, I felt as small and powerless as an infant, one that had been dumped into a vat of quicksand. All I could do was sink farther and farther into that fear and sob. I can't remember a time that I've ever felt so defeated. So useless. So broken.

But then...

One small act. That's all it really took to remind me of the good in the world.

Two parents, around my mom's age had passed by just a little earlier. They had seen me sitting on the ground, calling my mom, and trying everything I could to slow my breathing through choked out breaths. I apologized for being in their way just moments earlier.

But... They didn't look at me with hatred or disgust or even pity. All of the emotions I felt towards myself in that moment, and I was SO sure anyone else would feel towards me if they saw me... Just wasn't there.

They asked if I was okay and gave me a pat on the shoulder. A stranger. A sobbing, absolutely pathetic looking, sniffling stranger. A soft act of kindness. Connection.

"You'll get through this, I promise. I know it's really hard right now, but I swear it won't last forever."

The two of them just kept going on. Telling me that I was loved and cared about and that I was going to get through this. These two absolute strangers. I thanked them so much, still sobbing, telling them that they made my day. And again.

"Do you know who else's days you make? Your parents. We have two kids of our own, and I know... I know every single day they make ours better. And I know for sure you do that too. College is rough, but you're going to get through this."

"And if anyone treats you bad, fuck them!"

"Yeah! You got this. It's all going to be okay, I promise. You're so strong."

I don't know who those two people were, but I swear they made me believe in the goodness of the world when I needed it the most. I wish them nothing but the best in their lives. I hope that if the time ever comes that either one of them, or their children, are alone and as terrified as I was... That they're given the same treatment. To look at that broken, petrified teenager and simply treat them with kindness. Reminding them that they deserve kindness.

The world is a dark, scary place, but it's never as bad as your mind makes it out to be... Because we're all on this little blue ball together. So please, the next time that you see someone a little down... Do me a favor. Give them a smile.

It makes all the difference.

Relationships that have real king/lionheart energy, that whole “I have sworn myself wholly to you, I am your sword arm, I am your dog” to someone else’s “you are the one person in this world I can rely on, and I am both bolstered and burdened by your absolute faith in me” vibe, but it’s in circumstances that are like. so low stakes. Manger of a movie theater/the one usher who doesn’t smoke weed at work.

Okay, the ending of Fiona and Cake was cute and all, but how the hell are the citizens of the real world Ooo gonna react when they see a show other than Cheers playing on their TV's ?!

Like, imagine waking up, constantly just watching Cheers, and then you hear the damn Law and Order intro for the first time. Like yeah, beating Scarab, and not dying horribly and painfully was cool and all, but I'm more psyched about the new cable channels.

The fact that this is 80 fucking years ago but still just as relevant is terrifying.

really weird that I think this is my first time drawing gravity falls fan art

Simon Petrocov has two hearts, and the very existence of this fact implies that Golb possesses an infinite glitch, specifically when it comes to organs. Let me explain my horrific thought process.

During a spell, Ice King, trying to "steal Princess Bubblegum's heart," accidentally brought his own heart to life. If you watched the early seasons of Adventure Time, you probably remember him. Ricardio, the smooth talking heart.

But the one thing I didn't realize was that Ricardio actually never fused back with Simon, meaning that up until Come Along With Me, Ice King literally didn't have a heart. But once he was broken down by Golb, presumably, he was reset back to a time where he did have a heart. Because yknow, humans need those.

So basically, my thoughts are that it'd be insanely easy to harvest organs in Ooo if you ever came across Golb, and yknow, could survive that encounter without being zapped into puzzle pieces.

Maybe it only worked for Simon because Betty wished to have the power to be able to keep him safe at any cost, and maybe that means Simon literally doesn't have a heart anymore, and my whole theory is debunkable... But if that IS how it works: infinite organ farming.

hey did you guys know its the pines twins’ 23rd birthday today? I had no idea.

anyway, here’s a thing I’ve been working on for a while. This was originally supposed to be for the show’s 10th anniversary back in June, but I definitely didn’t anticipate how long it’d take and had to push it back to the end of August. It feels like an appropriate way to send off the summer :]

ps: as per gf tradition, there’s a hidden message along the first 10 pages
