That Urge To Climb The Rooftop Of Ur House. Where Does It Come From.

everything went downhill ever since my father sold his motorcycle

one day keating walks in on the charlie and pitts holding todds legs and neil and cameron holding his arms swinging him, preparing to throw him as meeks and knox chant “chemistry” over and over while holding candles 

and todds just there like -_- as his friends prepare to throw him into a pile of pillows, blankets, and papers 

and keating is like: what the fuck are you guys doing

and they all simultaneously say “sacrificing todd to our chemistry homework so we pass the test”

and keating is like: what the actual fuck

and todd gives him a little wave and then they throw him

AUGUST IS AT AN END. FALL IS COMING. THE WITCH IN ME HAS RISEN *makes spooky noises*

I have reverted back into my "I'm gonna watch dead poets society every night until I'm sick of it" phase

You know when a fast angry song comes on that you know every word to and you’re in just the right mood that your eyes light up with the fire and angst of a thousand punk rockers and you just feel so alive

do the people in power in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh know that the kids of their countries altogether call themselves desi on tumblr???

Thinking about the death of subcultures. Like I haven’t seen any goth kids or punks or any obvious subcultural movements in years. And obviously part of that is just cultural change, but when I think of modern subcultures the only thing I can think of are those tiktok alternative people, like egirls, but there isn’t that sense of a real “scene” going on with their own lifestyles and music and events, like lived experience that’s shared. I feel like what we might call modern subcultures are all reduced to mere aesthetics and they’re all mostly online, and they all look way too pretty – their make up is always perfect and their clothes are perfectly aesthetic and there’s none of that deliberate freakishness going on; literally grunginess itself has been commodified. There’s none of the real expression of confusion and anger that came with growing up in a world that you felt on some level was fucked up but you couldn’t express why, so you expressed it by dressing like a freak, by looking kinda deliberately out of place. I want that spirit back because this is what subcultures were about. Let’s bring back real subculture, not the alienated commodified version that’s based on aesthetics and has been reduced to social media, but the kind where you actually go out looking completely unhinged on purpose to disrupt. The kind where you meet other people and feel a sense of empowerment in your willing difference from the mainstream, and by that I mean the kind that is explicitly anticapitalist.

THIS IS GREATT

It’s the way I nearly tripped acid when this popped up on my FYP

the last one especially

niche things I love about Indian culture

(Besides the awesome fashion, food, mythology, architecture, music, and philosophies)

-in Hindi, “ladies and gentlemen” is “goddesses and gentlemen” (देवियों और सज्जनो)

-how you measure age by how many monsoons you’ve seen (“he is of 10 monsoons”)

-good morning WhatsApp forwards. Yes, this is a controversial one. I just think it’s cute as hell

-how 2 Indians can each know like 4 languages but still not be able to communicate with each other because they don’t share a single common one

-men wearing lots of jewellery especially gold hoop earrings 👀👌🏽

-nose rings (I got mine when I was a kid WITH my parents’ approval)

-the fact that Indian English uses so many archaic words and terms. And also so many terms that sound like they’re from the year 2050 (like “biodata” for resume)

-“where should I put this?” “On my head.”

-the expression “sucking my blood” in Punjabi when someone is annoying you. “Stop sucking my blood,” “He’s really sucking my blood.” Also “He’s eating my brain” in Hindi is a good one too

-how shop owners serve you food and chai and how the men drape saris over themselves to model them for you

-impromptu poetry sessions (“वह क्या बात है!”)

-there’s a reason so many animes are inspired by Hinduism and Buddhism. The original spirit bombs and other magical energy weapons were in the mahabharat lol

-really off the wall units of measurement. Lakh makes perfect sense. Crore makes a bit of sense. But why is a mahakalpa 311,040,000,000,000 years. Why does an akshauhini consist of 21,870 chariots; 21,870 elephants; 65,610 horses and 109,350 infantry. That is so specific

-the fact that no one’s gonna top the party we’re gonna throw when the queen dies

charlie dalton is a pen chewer; all of his pens have the lids bitten and plastic hook thingies bent, the ends of his pens are often shred before the end of the week. however, when cameron lends him a pen he never chews it he always wants it to remain in the most perfect condition just because he knows how richard likes everything orderly and he always likes seeing cameron’s reaction to him giving the pen back in perfect condition (its always a little crooked smile that charlie cherishes more than life itself)
