Teenage alcoholism is so important to recognise. It is not healthy to be getting absolutely wasted a few times a week and sometimes young adults become alcoholic without realising it. If you are unable to have a fun time without drinking or you feel like you need to drink when others are in an overwhelming way then consider getting help.
No really. Get help. It starts with parties, and then it’s “lol im just sad all the time” and before you know it everything is awful and you’re spiralling out of control. Don’t get sucked in and don’t let tumblr Depression Culture make you think it’s normal.
i was a hopeful one for 2k19 until yall told me theyre turning a one direction wattpad fic into a movie so. guess its another three hundred days of hell ahead
They’re doing what

okay i know this is like funny haha meme and all but anna todd is an almost 30 year old married woman who wrote a fanfiction about harry styles who is many years younger than her that not only has him in a lot of incredibly explicit sex scenes but it also portrays him as an abuser bad boy who only wants the main character (bland self-insert girl next door type) for sex. i read a large chunk of the first book of after when i was in middle school and it’s really Not Good.
after has been a problem in the 1d fandom for fucking years because besides being incredibly disrespectful towards harry, by virtue of it being a ~~harry styles fanfiction~~ on wattpad it attracted A LOT of younger girls who were then exposed to a really really unhealthy relationship dynamic that they are encouraged to want and romanticize because it has their idol.
so yes while the sentence “theyre turning a one direction wattpad fic into a movie” is really funny out of context as someone who has been following 1d since before after’s conception and watched firsthand all the bullshit it caused im really encouraging everyone to think about this and maybe give it the criticism it deserves.
I fucking remember this. Lots of girls in my classroom were obsessed with it. One of them ended up in an abusive relationship.
I didn’t think this could get more fucked up and it has
-You are an artist no matter what, and I am SO HAPPY that you are employed and able to also have time to do what you love.
-If you’re doing this as a transitional thing and hope to move to art-related work eventually, that is AWESOME. It’s a great plan, and it is super normal. Keep workin’ on that portfolio/skillset and building those connections, my friend. SO many of my friends worked various jobs between college and industry work.
-If you want to keep art as a hobby and don’t want to ever work professionally as an artist, that is a wonderful decision to make that is probably totally right for you! That’s fantastic that you’re able to figure out what YOU need as an artist! You are still an artist! You don’t ever need to do professional work as an artist to be an artist. I wish you all the luck in your non-art-related career and hope art continues to bring you joy as a passion.
-If you want to do some professional art work (such as freelance or commissions / selling prints and working conventions) but also want to have a separate career outside of art, hey, that sounds like an awesome plan too! You can be a professional in more than one field at once!
There isn’t one way to be an artist. I know I constantly answer questions about getting into the animation industry or working as a professional, but that doesn’t mean Im espousing that as the “correct path”. I just mostly get questions about those topics. There is no correct path as an artist. If you make art, you’re an artist. Period.
did U GUYS KNOW, that the way stores get the balloons off of the ceiling is with ANOTHER balloon, w tape on the top??? and they just dont cut the string so it’s like super long and u gotta aim it right n reel it in. i just found that out today when i DID IT and it’s been the best working day of my life i had a blast blowing up balloons and fetching some off the ceiling. i had so much power? and NO ONE ELSE in my department likes that job so now it’s MY job when need be
omg so I work at a museum and one of our buildings has a) very high ceilings and b) a bizarrely sensitive alarm system that will go off if anything touches the ceiling. Because of this, helium balloons are considered public enemy #1 and are strictly forbidden from entering the museum. But just in case an illicit balloon is successfully smuggled in, the museum has acquired a fucking b.b. gun for the express purpose of shooting down rogue balloons.
The Netherlands democratically puts a list of the 2000 best songs together every year around New Year’s and the biggest mystery every time is whether Bohemian Rhapsody wins again
i’m serious, if it doesn’t win, it’s second place
every winner before 2005 is Bohemian Rhapsody as well
why arent we talking about the constant presence of hotel california
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
Like. I’m a firm believer that porn online shouldn’t be within kids reach (those “are you 18” checkboxes for life) but. Like. Ok first of all, just ban cp? It’s not hard? Cp is what got you into this mess just ban it. Second of all, you could increase the age of sign-up from 13 to 18. Third of all, you could do what deviantart does and just. Require birthdays at sign-up. If your blog is flagged as nsfw, you can’t interact with minors. You want to follow an nsfw blog? Prove you’re an adult. You’re an adult but don’t want to see nsfw content? Safe search (that actually works).
It’s not hard to make a functioning website, but staff doesn’t seem to want to do that.
“But people lie about their age” YEAH PEOPLE LIE ABOUT THEIR AGE TO DO ALL KINDS OF SHIT. WHEN I WORKED AT THE GROCERY STORE PEOPLE LIED ABOUT THEIR AGE TO GET BEER. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? WE DIDN’T BAN ALL BEER, WE REQUIRED AN ID CHECK, YES, KNOWING THAT SOME PEOPLE WOULD LIE. BECAUSE THE FAULT WAS THEIRS BECAUSE THEY LIED.
It’s not even “we’re banning all beer”. It’s more like “we’ve set up an algorithm to flag potentially suspicious drinks at checkout for banning, an algorithm that has already caught three papayas, a snickers bar, and Terry the bag boy who got a little too close to the cash register on Tuesday.”
Meanwhile an actual gang of fucking Nazis has set up camp in the produce aisle, and the manager is pretending not to notice them because he thinks they might buy something one of these days.
remember when you were a kid and whenever your parents came into the room while you were doing something for pleasure like looking at something on the computer or watching tv and you’d immediately close the thing like you’d just been caught watching porn when you were actually doing nothing wrong this post was made by strict parents with no boundaries gang

is there a trope to refer to stories where the beginning chunk of a story is relatively slow and focused on comedy and/or character fluff and frequently gets skipped by new readers/listeners/viewers to get to “the good stuff,” but it also turns out that that first chunk laid essential groundwork which probably shouldn’t be skipped because it makes “the good stuff” be “the good stuff” in the first place?
