reblog to send three ghosts after elon musk
there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter
tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks... that website still lives on
truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that
Friendly reminder that Will Byers biked home from his best friend Mike’s house one night only to be run off the road by a monster, chased through the woods, fled to his shed and gripped a gun with shaky hands to defend himself, only for all of that to be for nothing, and taken to a strange, dark world with no one else around where he had to fend off and hide from other monsters. A friendly reminder that he survived an entire week there by sheer willpower, something no one else has ever done before. A friendly reminder that he did all of that while looking like this.
You all need to be reminded that Queerplatonic Relationships are long term committed relationships that originated from aromantic people who want the consistency and loyalty in romantic relationships without the expectations of performing romance. If you don't want to commit to a platonic relationship, then you don't want a QPR ("platonic" word here is used as the opposite of "romantic" instead of "sexual" because some queerplatonic partners can be sexual and others can be non-sexual).
QPR is not just a quirky term for intense emotional friendship because any friendship can have that intimacy but not all friends commit to each other in the way that makes the relationship queer. The queerness in queerplatonic means we have a relationship that's so devoted and yet platonic because we are debunking amatonormativity here that dictates to us (by society) that romantic relationships must be the priority.
If you just want to kiss and hug your friends and hold their hands or anything else intimate but you don't think you can be committed to that friendship, it's not queerplatonic relationship you want. If you're misusing queerplatonic term, you're erasing the meaning of this word that helps aromantic people communicate our boundaries, expectations and experiences as queer people. Please just respect us. Treating QPR like it's just a "friendship" is as rude as treating it as "romance lite". I want a commitment but no romo. It's that simple.

one thing you need to know about me is that i am constantly having insane galaxy genius ancient greek philosopher level thoughts about everything ever all the time but before leaving my mouth they get filtered through seven layers of autism and come out sounding like a youtube comment made by a nine year old
Here's the thing. No, Will didn't want to be treated with kid gloves. He didn't want to be babied or treated differently.
What he did want — what he needed — was understanding. Which is something Mike did not afford him in season three.
He didn't want them to treat him like a baby or hover. He did want them to understand why he was clinging to the childhood they all seemed to have left behind. The childhood that was stolen from him.
He didn't want to be shamed for trying to go back to a time before. Before the Upside Down. Before those seven terrifying days. Before he died. Before he was possessed. Before he endured physical and mental pain the rest of them couldn't even begin to imagine. Before there was a monster in his mind, one who still won't leave.
