I think we need to talk about how dangerous softboy nerd sexual predators are. Every single time I’ve been creeped on or taken advantage of in college it wasn’t by a drunken jock fratboy. It was by a soft anxious nonthreatening nerd boy whose strategy was to get compassionate girls to feel sorry for him
Men who say they’re Rick’s when they’re all actually Jerry’s.
this is the first time i have seen this show referrenced to make i good point, and let me just say that it is about damn time
that post was right i wouldn’t have a sense of humor without spongebob. its still some of the goddamn funniest shit i’ve ever seen. spongebob almost dying because he’s too polite to ask for a glass of water at sandy’s house. mr. krabs and spongebob killing the health inspector. smittywerbenjagermenjensen. “I was born with glass bones and paper skin. every morning I break my legs. and every afternoon I break my arms.” the perfume department on the flying dutchman’s boat. that time spongebob cleared his mind to be a fine dining waiter and forgot his own name because that’s how customer service just BE. the ugly barnacle that was so ugly everyone DIED. the END. the one where squidward buys a pie but it’s actually a bomb. and the MUSICAL numbers like??? the fun song. the christmas song. tony award winning song “this grill is not a grill”. the entire band geeks episode like…this is all from the top of my head!!!!! just from the top of my head!!! there’s so much more!!! thank god for stephen and all the laughs i’ve had because of him.
how to compliment someone without seeming like a fucking creep. an easy how to guide:
a) compliment them on something that they can change. don’t say ‘nice tits janice’, say something like ‘your shoes are rad’ or ‘your hair looks great’.
b) don’t be a fucking creep. if it’d weird you out if it was said to you, then it’s likely too creepy to say to someone else.
EASY.
also this pic is super strawmanny and gross. it is not hard to not be a creep.
My most favorite compliment I’ve ever gotten I got from a man who was a complete stranger who drove up next to me while I was walking home at 9pm in the night:
I guess he saw me speed walk, overtake, then completely outpace some really tall business man in front of me (who had also increased his speed to overtake me back but failed).
Anyway this complete stranger doing the exact stereotype of what a man shouldn’t ever do drove up next to me, rolled down the window and said:
“That is the fastest damn walking I’ve ever seen. Ma’am, you…have the soul…of a bicycle.”
Then rolled up his window and drove away.
He didn’t creepily drive behind me, he drove regular speed and came to a rolling stop. He didn’t roll down his window all the way or stick his head out, he said his piece quickly and with a great amount of awe and respect, then he didn’t act like he needed a response from me or expect anything from the compliment. And then he left as quickly as he came. The compliment was so good and politely delivered that I’ve thought about it with amusement for over a year.
It is NOT HARD to not be threatening to women. Those who can’t manage it are sus as hell.
That is one hell of a compliment.
I passed a guy about my age on the sidewalk (going opposite directions) and he said, without stopping his pace, “I really like your glasses.”
I said thank you and we both continued on our ways.
That actually brightened my day.
Being whistled at from cars when I wear short dresses makes me want to go home and change.
like! people always reference pride & prejudice as the archetypal “normal girl falls for mysterious brooding antihero” story but they overlook the part where lizzy drags darcy so fucking hard he leaves town and then apologizes for talking to her the next time they meet even though they’re at his literal house
Also, she doesn’t fall for the mysterious brooding antihero. She thinks that guy’s a twerp. She falls for the guy who loves his sister a lot, is kind to his servants, isn’t rude to the Gardiners and who acts completely differently to the brooding antihero before apologising for his past behaviour and acknowledging that her put down of him was extremely well deserved.
you know what’s more freeing than killing yourself? running away to a small town and getting a job as a waitress. buying a cheap car and sticking a bed in the back and driving southwest. adopting a cat. learning a new instrument. moving apartments. visiting a friend in another city. chopping all your hair off.
you can kill your current life without dying. you can kill this version of you and make a new one.
maybe I’m just a bipolar sucker for rebirth but sometimes that thought is all that keeps me alive
pulling a wholesome gone girl > actually killing yourself
Quick kisses when you’re not expecting it. Whispers
love songs to you. Is the big spoon. Gives you their jacket when it’s cold out.
Tells you that your love keeps them warm. Can’t look at you without falling in
love all over again.
Aquarius
Tells you that they love you without warning. Warm
hugs, soft kisses. Slow dancing in a candle lit room. Has a way of making you
feel like you’re the only person who matters. Wears your favorite color on
gloomy days.
Pisces
Writes poems and sonnets in your honor. Takes
you to museums, says that Venus doesn’t have anything on you. Notebooks upon
notebooks of romance stories where you’re the lead. Seems to sway when in your presence.
Lights up when they see you.
Aries
Will tell cheesy jokes to make you smile. Massages
for when you’ve had a hard day. Long nights of whispering ‘I love you’. Will always
attempt to win you a stuffed animal from a carnival booth. Will tell you
non-stop how much they love you.
Taurus
Lazy days in bed. Spending hours in the garden
with you. Brings a bouquet of flowers to you to remind you how much they love
you. Rubs your hand when holding it. Tries to be smooth but ends up saying
quite plainly that they love you. Giggle fits when they realize that they are
your partner.
Gemini
Walks in the forest. Draws you in natural poses
when you least expect it. Considers you their eternal muse. Can’t put the words
together on how much they love you. Starry-eyed every time you pass by whether
it’s the first time or the hundredth.
Cancer
Stargazing under a full moon. Walking along the
beach. Silly photos with one serious kiss at the end. If given the chance they
will pick you up and do a spin finished with a kiss. Tells you that you’re
their favorite person in the world. Can’t stop telling people how much they
love you and what a wonderful person you are.
Leo
Kisses your hand when holding it. Takes you to the
most exclusive parties but always ends up avoiding the other guests to spend
time with you. Can’t start a sentence about you without saying “The love of my
life”. Thinks that you deserve the world, the stars, the moon, the entire universe
and will attempt to give you all that an more.
Virgo
Stares at you in awe whenever you walk by. Calls
you just to remind you that they love you. Plans about your future. Sings love
songs without realizing it, always embarrassed when you point it out but goes
back to singing anyways. Leans on you.
Libra
Comments on your beauty all the time. Cuddling
on the couch. Wonders how they were lucky enough to have a partner like you. Values
your input 24/7 365. Can’t imagine life without you, becomes tearful at the thought
of that happening.
Scorpio
Motorcycle rides into the city. Dates at the café.
Long kisses that leave you breathless. Always brushes that one strand of hair
out of your face. Affectionate head bumps and soft laughter. Mischievous winks
at you during the most innocent of things.
Sagittarius
Soft kisses on your forehead. Holding hands
without realizing their doing it. Lovesick looks in public spaces. Love letters
in hidden places. Reads poems out loud about you. Touch-starved all the time. Melts
in your embrace.
