me age 7: this pokemon is named cupcake becos its random and cute
me age 12: this pokemon is named Petri, named after petrichor, the name for the scent of rain. a close second was Nimbus, named after nimbostratus clouds in which rain forms. i was very tempted to go with Proteus, a greek shapeshifter who ruled the sea, but i realized that would be more fitting for a pokemon with a stronger attack stat. i researched these names endlessly and they took 2 hours to come up with.
me age 15: this pokemon is named sleepy becos he looks sleepy
blows up a random stranger with a rocket launcher for no reason then falls to the ground weeping histrionically & receives the tender attention & support of everyone present
as an american i must be honest i do be eating cheese burger
Blood test results are back. 0’s across the board, dry as a bone under the hood, they’re not sure what they’ve got in those vials but it recoils from light and lunges towards living tissue, which is all normal for girls these days.
woman yelling at cat meme but make it ancient greek red figure pottery
Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”
"gay or european" also goes for middle-aged women btw. that lady with short hair no makeup and sneakers isn't a lesbian she's just german
One of my favorite little "fun facts" about Black Hollywood is the gruesome story Rihanna has told about Jay-Z flying her to this country alone at 14 (IIRC, not much older), locking her in a hotel room, and telling her "the only way she's leaving is through a window"
The older clip I've seen her babyfaced and telling this (noting the babyface because her face was forced to change artifically at what, 19? 20? After Chris Brown beat her so badly she needed reconstructive surgery, which "she must've done something to deserve we weren't there" to this fucking day, literally an Arab woman I know said this to my face a few months ago) is so chilling because she's smiling on stage at some dumbass talk show and people fucking laughed
Gratefully the TikTokker pointing it out was doing so to bring up just one of many examples of Jay-Z's predation the most famous being that he met Beyonce when she was about 16 in Destiny's Child and previously publicly dated teenaged (or near) Foxy Brown, all while in his 30s
Like why the fuck is he not being tarred and feathered as hard as his BFF Diddy? I'm so ready lol been ready since 2010
