You Know What I Think Would Be Fucking Hilarious? If Percy Was Fighting A Monster And Instead Of Using

When it comes to phrases and sayings, I've noticed that a good way to test their validity is to see if they also work in reverse.

"What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" - If something isn't making you stronger, it's killing you.

"If it looks stupid but it works, it's not stupid" - If something looks smart on paper but doesn't work in practice, it's still stupid.

"Treat others as you would wish to be treated" - Don't treat yourself worse than you would treat a stranger.

"Any job worth doing is worth doing well" - if something's not worth doing, it's not worth half-assing either.

"When there's a will, there's a way" - If you truly do not want to do something, it will be impossible no matter how easy it should be.

Ocean beaches

Don’t look for whatever just touched your foot. Don’t dive down to find it. That’s the chance it’s waiting for.

Never turn your back to the tide.

Don’t swim on the new moon. The moon’s light is the only thing keeping you safe.

Ignore the sounds of the birds. They will get louder as you ignore them, but if you go to them, they expect something in return.

Only look down to your feet, and never deeper than you need to. The deep shadows are not yours to worry about.

The ocean listens to you, too. She knows things.

Do not remove shells or rocks you find. They carry souls with them, and they will return to the ocean one way or another.

Leave no trace of yourself at the beach. She covers your footprints for a reason.

Do not leave abandoned sand castles. They were not built by children. The animals passing between worlds will not forgive you for the obstructions in their path.

Never move a rock bigger than your hand. Gently shift, but always place exactly as you found it. The creatures underneath know where they belong, and they can find where you belong, too.

what do you mean it didn’t go this way,

Secret Recipes To Try At Home

i love that motorcycles exist. like i'm genuinely so glad that someone was like "what if bikes were as fast as cars and could turn you into roadkill if you hit a pothole"

Something I need to be reminded of often. Yes, I'm very lazy and also have executive problems up the wazoo (the difference? laziness is fun), but the cultural expectation of being productive every waking moment isn't healthy either. And the business of feeding ourselves is especially fraught these days.

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

i get that miles being sheltered to punk culture/ideas is an easy assumption, considering his parents' attitude towards gwen, but like. i really really want to pose to you all miles morales the graffiti artist, who's incredibly aware that his dad wouldn't defend him if he was arrested, but still believes in and makes public art. miles morales the black scholarship kid at a predominantly white school that treats him in equal turns like a snowflake, a loose cannon and a charity case, who in one of the novels gets suspended for calling out & starting a protest against his racist history teacher. miles morales who in that same novel gave his own cash to a pickpocket he had to stop after giving him a chance to surrender. miles morales who keeps getting told to shut up & back down but doesn't, even if it's "for his own good". miles morales who after being told he'd never fit into a system that should've helped him said "then fuck your system" and electrocuted the leader.

miles morales might not be punk aesthetically, but he gets it. he gets it more than a lot of so-called "punks" do.
