I love how confused adults get with our humor and vine refrences cause like i just replied to my brother with ‘four female ghostbusters?? the feminist are taking over!!’ and he just screams ‘IM AN ADULT VIRGIN’ and my mom still has no idea what we’re talking about
Sometimes I fear we accidentally created a new language
why fear it when you can embrace it
We actually have…an updated version. You know how the idioms we have are said but never finished because it’s assumed that as long as the person you’re talking to speaks the same language they’ll understand the rest?
Ie. Jack of all trades master of none->better than a master of one
Great minds think alike->but fools rarely differ
Over time the second half gets lost because it’s been passed down orally so some idioms meanings have been warped but that’s a different conversation (ie. “Blood is thicker than water” is actually “the blood of the convent is thicker than the water of the womb”)
Vine are like that for us. You only need say the first half and every person under 30 knows the second half, no context needed. It’s cool as shit how the internet has done that for us. Vine sayings have become idioms in a sense…
nerds are like “ugh mr mime is so creepy in the detective pikachu trailer” like they expected a cute mr mime??? mr mime. mr mime???? live action mr mime being a terrifying imp is the most accurate pokemon in the trailer why are y’all shocked.
2018 Grinch has no edge. He’s got no bite. He’s not even that much of an asshole. He’s just a sassy gay furry with unusually nice teeth despite his famous theme song declaring otherwise.
1966 Grinch? Now that was a mean, scary bastard. He was a crusty old fuck who hated society so much that he only came off his shitty frozen mountain to commit crimes and terrorism out of spite.
Bennyhoo Cumberland Grinch comes down from his mountain to buy groceries.
You can round the edges off a character to make them more “relatable” or whatever, but you also run the risk of losing what defined them in the first place. The end result is bland and generic.
2018 Grinch is a reflection of modern society’s rejection of real character flaws in the interest of being “unproblematic” and in this essay i will
congrats OP this is literally the only grinch post i’ll ever reblog
Accepting and celebrating the things that make you “different” is…. good. It can be great, liberating even, to accept that you don’t have to fit the mold or meet certain arbitrary expectations to be a fully realized person.
But sometimes you do crave certain aspects of “normalacy” that you know you’re just… not wired for, and maybe you feel guilty for that, because ideologically you reject the notion of “normal”. And yet. And yet!!!
Of course the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence, when no grass grows on your side at all. It’s still your yard, though, grass or no grass – you can always build a rock garden. And yet…!
Honorable mention to the feeling of “I don’t actually want that, but I do kind of want to be able to want that.”
Also, the fear that expressing your sense of missing out will be used against you and turned into, “see, ‘different’ IS an aberration, you want to be ‘fixed’ and that’s proof!!!” so you just grimace and quietly arrange your rock garden without complaint.
