need the medici family to be reincarnated with my exact taste in fanfiction so I can join their guild and never have to worry about anything except being smelly arguing with popes and never leaving the house
You meet god and she's mostly dead fish. You ask her why and she says most of the world is dead fish, and she's made herself to appeal to the most common denominator, the everyman funnyman comedy show that runs for eleven seasons but with the entire universe in mind. You ask her how much of the dead fish is your fault, she says it's far less than you'd think, in the grand scheme of things. You ask her if you matter at all. If you can do anything. She shrugs her rotting shoulders and says mattering is a made-up concept, like life, but sure, you can matter if you want to, on some scale. She has many scales. She doesn't know what you mean by 'anything', but you can do everything you can. You ask her if it's enough. She says there's no base requirement for deserving to exist. She's smoking a joint and the smoke filtering out of her gills gathers and forms gas giants and red dwarfs. You ask her if there's any hidden secrets of the universe you should know and she says it's not a secret if she tells, plus it's fun to let you figure it out yourself. You ask her if any of your questions were right questions and she says you worry about being right so much it might keep you from fucking around, which is as close to meaning of life as she ever bothered to make. You don't ask but she says she loves your hair, also your whole being, also your planet. She says she figured out what love is yesterday and is trying it out, which explains the ten thousand rainbows and sudden influx in rains of fish. She offers you a drag of her joint and you wake up half past midnight behind a chain restaurant clutching a smoked salmon. The new stars are winking like they're in on some joke and you're sure if you try hard enough you'll remember what it is.

being in your 20s is not about love or education or careers. it is about constantly being exposed to mold & being greatly fatigued from it
I just know that when Romeo and Juliet premiered two ye olde girlies in the pit at intermission were like didst thou see the sparks betwixt Tybalt and mercutio… aye and not from their swords alone!

One of the funniest online parenting rabbitholes I’ve fallen into is parents being irate and hysterical that their children are referred to by nicknames by their friends and family. And the kid doesn’t care or actively asks to be called the nickname. It would be slightly different if the name was something with a deep cultural meaning to the parent but usually it’s white women breaking down about their kid asking to be referred to as ‘bug’ instead of *insert white bread top 100 trendy American baby name*. They’ll get so upset about it too. They’re like “I NAMED HER MACKINGSLEIGH FOR A REASON.” not realizing that their child is not an accessory but a living, thinking, sentient being capable of choosing how they would prefer to be called. And kids so often outgrow their nickname.
