Another humans are weird space orcs idea because I really like thinking about it. What if aliens have no idea how to hide their emotions? Like, they suck at poker because they can never keep a straight face or anything. or, on a darker note, their ship is hijacked and they can’t keep the fear out of their faces, but all the humans look cold and emotionless to them. Other aliens hating having to bargain with humans becase we can bluff and keep our emotions in check so well, but when they get frustrated it’s all over. Pirates threaten the space ship and they send the human to do negotiations, and the pirate talking is super confused because no matter what threat he makes, the human just doesn’t seem to be fazed one bit.
Someone please, feel free to add to this, I love to see what else people come up with!

I love that in tumblr people aren't famous. Posts are. It's due to the fact that posts are made by the contribution of several blogs. I just think this is neat.
last night I had a dream that there was a tumblr update and the only thing it changed was that for two minutes straight you could sprinkle shredded cheese on other blogs and their posts, and everyone's dashboard was just pandemonium as everyone cheesed each other. two minutes of abominable amounts of shredded cheese raining from the dash. tumblr at its finest. get cheesed
Absolutely bonkers that I'm now one of those weirdos you hear about on Twitter
idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes
me: hey can I get backstage for a reason
security person: yeah that's fine I've seen you around
me (internally screaming):
Ok so currently I work with a circus and part of my job is to walk them to the stage before and after each show. We all happen to be wearing black clothes, they all have bits of their colorful costumes showing, and I have bright green hair.
It is my favorite thing to walk through the crowd afterwards, and the people tell the performers that they did a great job in the show. Then they see me at the end of the line and get so confused, cause they swear there wasn't a green haired person on stage but she was in line, and is dressed just like them so she must have performed too.
Absolutely hilarious
it’s december 1 where’s the christmas tail kitten bring him to me
I love being in church and them saying "stained glass windows aren't very pretty unless the sun is shining through it."

gotta admit, I'm impressed with their dedication to the bit
