All humor is gallows humor if you stop kidding yourself.

When older straight men refer to “The Wife” I like to imagine they’re all describing the same gigantic creature to whom they are all wed

I want paranormal angel romance to be a thing again. But instead of the love interest being a male model with wings, it\u2019s like an interdimensional cosmic horror nightmare with ninety-eight eyeballs.

Saying you’re single
\n\u2022 sobering
\n\u2022 gets you sad looks at parties
\n\u2022 invites relatives to murmur ‘you’ll find someone’ for ever<\/p>\n

Saying ‘I stand alone’
\n\u2022 mysterious
\n\u2022 confident
\n\u2022 puts you on the same level as Th\u00e9oden King<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

it goes like this, the fourth the fifth, the six the seventh the eighth the ninth, the baffled Count composing hallelujah ah ah ah,

Voldemort didn’t try to kill Harry Potter until he was 55
\nDarth Vader was nearly 40 when he built the Death Star
\nHannibal was 52 when he escaped from captivity
\nThanos was over 65 when he collected the infinity gems
\nAnnie Wilkes was 44 when she found Paul
\nIt’s never too late ❤️

People talk about caterpillars becoming a butterflies as though they just go into a cocoon, slap on wings, and are good to go.<\/p>\n

Caterpillars have to dissolve into a disgusting pile of goo to become butterflies.<\/p>\n

So if you’re a mess wrapped up in blankets right now, keep going.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

sexy roleplay: i’m a muttering Innsmouth townie and you’re a busybody outsider sticking their nose in places they oughtn’t, but the heady scent of aqua velva on your neck is making me forget that i shouldn’t be telling you nothing about them missing archaeologists

Adults who have rules or opinions about the trick-or-treaters who come to their door can go to hell.<\/p>\n

Got no costume? Here’s candy.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re 19? Candy.<\/p>\n

Weird childless couple pushing a costumed dog in a stroller? Candy is dog poison but I think I have a string cheese.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I like saying things in ways that, while entirely true, make them sound far more worrisome than they actually are, i.e. “my human wife” and “I’m going to brush my teeth and also any other teeth I encounter.”
\n— NotLasers<\/a><\/p>\n

“I bought another book”
\n– transactional
\n– people will ask if you REALLY need more books
\n– reminds you of your bank balance<\/p>\n

“I paid a terrible price for this knowledge”
\n– classy Faustian vibes
\n– intimidating
\n– implies all books are priceless treasures. which they are.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
