*pretends to be shocked*
Me: I just sometimes get so stressed that I just want to screech
My Therapist: Then do it.
Me: I’m sorry?
My Therapist: Primal screeching is one way of completing your stress cycle, do it. Be mindful of where you are, I usually do it in my car, but yeah. Go for it.
Me: Ah- Oh.
My Therapist: Holding that kind of thing in is what’s locking you into that stress state. Screeching, running, dancing, that tells your body they the danger has passed and you’ll relax. Since you have a lifetime of that shit locked away, it’ll take a sec but yeah. Screech if you want to.
girls!!! we gotta fail more often!!! we’re so scared of failure and disappointing people and looking stupid that we don’t even TRY things! men?? men brush off failure like it’s nothing! if a man doesn’t get a job he wanted, it’s because they didn’t review his application fairly! it’s because the competition was tough this year! it’s because he just needs to try harder next time! men just DO things!!! and you know what DOING things builds?? confidence!!! even if you fail!! the more you fail, the more confident you are that you can fail and survive! women don’t even wanna try unless they are 100% certain that they’re qualified and competent and won’t disappoint anybody! but that is NONSENSE. men are out there getting positions they’re not even qualified for, while over-qualified but less-confident women are staying where it’s safe bc they’re afraid to rock the boat!!! DO. IT. apply for the thing! ask for the raise! enter the competition! get used to failing ALL the time! fail quickly and move on!!! if a cocky but mediocre man would do it, then for the love of god, GO DO THE DAMN THING. you are SO much more qualified than you think you are.

#i say “that’s my baby and i’m really proud”
I’ve been seeing some fearmongering going around lately about how unionising the video game industry would shut down independent developers, and I’m reminded of similar rhetoric regarding minimum wage laws and small businesses, when the reality is that most small businesses have no employees beyond the owning partners, and thus aren’t affected by minimum wage laws.
Most actual independent video game developers – i.e., as opposed to big studios that just call themselves indie for marketing purposes – are in the same position of having no employees beyond the owning partners, so it’s difficult to see how unionisation of video game production staff would affect them one way or the other. Like, what are they going to do, report themselves for exploiting themselves?
Hi. This is the actual “Weird Al” Yankovic. I’m not now nor have I ever been active on Tumblr, but it has come to my attention that you’ve been impersonating me, which is not cool. I’m not going to get lawyers involved, but I’d like to ask, very kindly, please stop. Thanks, Al
Blocked! Do you think you are funny? Do you think you are funny?
Natalie Portman’s new interview about Star Wars.
I’m happy reading these words! The prequel movies deserve more justice!
Looking back at GOT as a whole:
Ned Stark was a standard, high-fantasy main protagonist who didn’t make it past the first book / season and was punished for being honorable.
Oberyn Martell was an Inigo Montoya who failed to kill the guy he swore vengeance against.
Jon Snow is an Aragorn who didn’t return as the king and ended up exactly where he started in the series.
Khal Drogo was a Conan the Barbarian who didn’t get a glorious ending since he dies after getting sick from a stab wound.
The Night King and the White Walkers were a Sauron / Voldemort-type of villain who get axed off before the final act of the series (so, the Ned Stark treatment but to the “main antagonist”).
Cersei Lannister gets the same treatment as the Night King in that she’s the wicked queen stock villain character who you think will be the main villain but gets axed off in order to make way for the actual main antagonist of the series (Dany).
Robb Stark was another standard, high-fantasy main protagonist (the young, handsome white guy who is trying to right the wrongs done to his family) who is killed before he gets the chance to avenge his father’s death and is punished for doing things out of love.
Jaime Lannister embodied the knight-in-shining-armor stock character but was a complete piece of shit.
Bran Stark wasn’t a contender for the throne but won it anyways and his victory was a sign that Westeros is making the push for a different form of government, effectively ending hereditary rule (going against Tolkien since his happy ending was that the rightful king returned).
Daenerys Targaryen is a little tricky to add here since it’s not obviously clear what tropes her character subverted. To me, she fits perfectly with the arc of a Shakespearean villain / tragic protagonist. Maybe you can say that she subverted the idea that the quest for the throne is a noble goal. Because, as seen in the final episodes of the series, Dany proved the quest for the throne was anything but noble.
Gendry and Arya are the star-crossed lovers who willingly don’t end up with each other (at least in Arya’s case) and end up following their own paths.
The final battle in King’s Landing, the “Battle of Minas Tirith” moment of GOT, should’ve been an epic clash between good and evil but is turned into a horrific war crime full of massive civilian casualties and the “heroes” killing soldiers who already surrendered.
Euron Greyjoy was Jack Sparrow if he was an even bigger jackass and completely unlikable (okay, I’m just joking with this one but for real, fuck Euron).
I know saying “we live in a society” is a joke but this is the most “we live in a society” thing I’ve ever seen.
