characters going “we were lovers once”: eh, it’s okay i guess. it’s nice enough

characters going “we were friends once”: absolutely devastating. one hit knockout i’m gone

regardless of whether it's a real phenomenon or not i have to hand it to spontaneous human combustion for being such a deceptively professional-sounding combination of words for the funniest explanation for anything on the planet. cause of death: their body just did that.

had a dream last night that sappho 16 became a meme. everyone on the internet was posting images that contained the text "some say cavalry, some say infantry, some say ships are the most beautiful thing, but I say it's" and then just like, the worst stock photo image the poster could find of whatever they loved (the ocean, a loaf of bread, etc.)
