i was at a party organized by my uni last week and (not) very sober™️ and for some reason the cocktail names where all italian brain rot characters. a guy behind me was trying to explain to his date the back story of tralalero tralala and mistakenly said it was a crocodile. being the insufferable person i am, i turned around and very soberly said that no tralalero tralala is a shark and the guy legit got the most shocked expression on his face as he started panicking over giving his date false information but at the same time he was super excited that someone irl knew wtf he was talking about lmao

I can’t stand people that don’t let me speak hyperbolically. If I can’t respond to a minor inconvenience that someone should get shot in the fucking head for it then what’s the point of it all.

Straight guys who use tumblr are the funniest people ever literally how did you end up here

the neurodivergent experience:

20% of the time: wowwieee!!! i love my passions and interests!!!!! they make me so happy i want to jump up and down!!!!! weee!!!!!!! :3333333333

80% of the time: this mind is a prison

i spend hours daydreaming about fictional things in bed so i can have the energy to get up and daydream about fictional things for the rest of the day

language, the building blocks of communication. how could i not want to learn it all?

ughhhh every script, every grammar structure, every word… i love it all so much.

the feeling of when you watch something you used to not understand? when you finally communicate your thoughts after struggling to get your words out? when you meet someone new? when you understand an untranslatable joke? when you learn one word then start seeing it everywhere? when your brain starts to hurt in the good way because its all so confusing? then months later down the line those things come to you like second nature… it’s incredible.

the human mind can do so so so much. why not learn it all? why not at least try?

even forgetting things, making mistakes, and getting embarrassed feels good at this point. it feels like it’s all part of the process.
