Size Matters Not. | By Brad Bartkus

A: The human body is 70% water. We’re all basically cucumbers with anxiety.

B: With the amount of salt and alcohol I consume, I’m more like an anxiety pickle.

possibly my favorite trope in the hobbit fics is the dwarves underestimating a hobbit’s appetite and either fretting that they’ve been starving bilbo or worried that he has some kind of eating disorder

Bilbo: *stuffing his face as only hobbits can and oblivious*

Thorin: *acting majestic but having internal panic attack* have we not been feeding him enough?

Fíli: where do you suppose he’s putting it all?

Kíli: do you think he’ll explode

random aged-up!haikyuu!! au thoughts, where they’re all older but most of them are still playing professional volleyball: social media double dating kuroken wedding

hinata: we’re NOT getting together until you admit that IM A GOOD SPIKER

kageyama: well then i guess we’re NEVER GETTING TOGETHER!!

everyone else is torn between letting this play out because the betting pool is worth truly colossal amounts of money by now, and dying, because the demon duo needs a better outlet for all that sexual tension…bang it out somewhere other than the volleyball courts pls…the refs are watching……..

on the other hand, the news reporters are at the point where they’re willing to pay oikawa to stop talking about his sex life

on an unrelated note, iwaizumi is willing to pay anything to not hear about his sex life in volleyball news

oikawa is torn between letting the world think he’s some kind of sex god and being very lost, because he doesnt know that sex term and at this point its WAY too late to ask

(not pictured: iwaizumi trying to channel the stone for which he was named)

Broke: It’s called Hunter Hunter because Gon is a hunter and he is hunting for Ging who is also a hunter so he is a hunter hunter.

Woke: It’s called Hunter X Hunter because the hunters are dating

Fictional characters might not be real, but our relationships with them are. 

Studies show it’s difficult for our brains to distinguish between our familiarity with characters on TV and our personal relationships with real people. The effect is so strong that just thinking about watching your favorite TV show can make you feel less lonely.

I’ve seen an awful lot of posts re: the new Murtagh book about how “unfair” Eragon and Nasuada were to Murtagh by railing at him and telling him to turn on Galbatorix in Inheritance. And I find that so shocking? what were they supposed to be doing, whispering “it’s ok sweetie, do your best alright we luv you :) uwu take your time honey”?? Dude has had his will broken and his mind enslaved by an evil mastermind, he’s full of rage and angst– shouldn’t they be trying to bring those emotions to the surface to help him break free? Also, Murtagh is not the kind of character that enjoys a pity party or is even vaguely comfortable with being vulnerable around others, including those he loves (on many levels), as a result of all those years of abuse and torture. I doubt it would’ve felt very compelling to him if his companions stayed silent or just offered platitudes and hollow encouragements– what should they have said, you got this, bro”?

Idk, I think that it’s interesting that as a fandom we can spend a lot of mental energy (and I mean a lot, 20 years of it over here on my end!!) bending over backwards being compassionate towards Broody McWarcrimes because he has been mind controlled and tortured within an inch of his life, but Goodboy Mainkid and Badass Queenieface try to get him out of his broody dark spiral of a brain for once and it’s like “oh my god, they’re so manipulative, they don’t even care”. Eragon had seen and done Some Shit and Nasuada was also a tortured mind control prisoner (by this guy!!), but for not being moody emo kids about their pain, the way Murtagh is, and compartmentalizing it differently than he does (too stoically, possibly), it’s like it erases their suffering for some people, and I think that’s an unfortunate reaction. If your traumatized friend was maybe the key to saving all your lives, wouldn’t you try to snap them out of their misery in any way you could, magic or no magic? Paolini says it himself multiple times in the new book - “Murtagh was feeling bad for himself again”. It’s the way a lot of us would cope with severely traumatic shit, I’m sure, brood and overthink and marinate in our pain. That doesn’t mean it’s compelling behavior for the people who are depending on you. I think Murtagh needed that needling, that boost from Nasuada and Eragon to get the ball rolling, or else he would not have been clear-headed enough to really think about his true name changing, because he would still have been stuck in the dark, sad spiral of the mind control, and it might have taken more time than they really had for him to get right with himself. They’re not chiding him and making light of his plight, they’re reminding him that he is even stronger than he knows and that they believe in him.

I love that little emo-boy blorbo, but he broods too much, and I think it’s ok for them to say it!

*swoon, swoon*

I have more of these headcanons if anyone wants me to write them out. Give me a push and I will go gladly into that dark night.
