if you’re offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that i’m just leaving it there for when you get back and not expecting you to answer straight away. i don’t need you to respond with “hey, sorry, i wasn’t at the computer!” or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.
they do have a phrase that basically mean this, it’s “i’ll draw your attention to”
as in, “of course my learned friend may wish to contest the accusation of adultery, but i’ll draw your attention to the pregnant secretary”, which is a real thing i heard in court
(”my learned friend” is code for “this dipshit”)
the cop version of this is “in fairness to you”
like, “now i understand that you’re claiming these are all bathsalts, but just in fairness to you i will let you know that we carried out a roadside drug test and did find that all the containers held high concentrations of methamphetamines”
KHR is really just a story about mafia men’s ill-advised adopting plans
Dino nabs Tsuna and Hibari as little brothers (Hibari goes down fighting. He Hates This). Reborn is already his Bad Grandpa so they’re a surrogate family
Squalo adopts Yamamoto as HIS little brother and Yamamoto is the BETTER version?? obviously??
iemitsu has his Low Maintenance student basil. why spend effort on raising your actual son when you can claim this kid who worships you and does everything you say. haha
shamal takes on gokudera but like. he Does Not Want To. shamal is terrified of responsibility. it burns to the touch, like sunshine on a vampire’s skin
mukuro angrily hoards people. presumably to take them out of the mafia hoarding game. he does it compulsively. why else would he intentionally hire fran
Miserly Old Mist Wizard Mammon just takes on the entire varia. Theirs Now. Hate All Of Them More Than Anything But Still Theirs
tsuna has 3 kids and a gaggle of guardians. he’s doing so well at such a young age
timoteo got a high-level responsibility with xanxus but. that didn’t turn out great.
xanxus refuses to participate
reborn wins, reigns King Of Taking Responsibility Over Teenagers. he also Hates This. but he reigns anyway, out of spite
Y’know when people use the Tolkien quote “Not all those who wander are lost” as inspirational.. It’s just.. That line was referring to Sauron’s evil servants being around in Middle Earth.. Not about your boho journey to South Cali in a rented minivan..
I don’t know where, when, or how OP pulled this from the depths of their asshole and decided to splatter it across the internet as Fact, and I really don’t care, because this is the full poem.
All that is gold does not glitter/Not all those who wander are lost/The old that is strong does not wither/Deep roots are not reached by the frost/From the ashes a fire shall be woken/Alight from the shadows shall spring/Renewed shall be blade that was broken/The crownless again shall be king.
In text, Bilbo fucking Baggins wrote that poem for Aragorn and the Rangers, who don’t have homes and wander around the West of Middle Earth generally being badass and saving people and protecting the good left in the world.
It’s not about the servants of Sauron. It’s not even close to being about Sauron. Go home, you’re drunk.
I wanna see OP fight Stephen Colbert.
I know I shouldn’t keep reblogging my own ancient Tolkien misinterpretation, but I just want to say that seeing yourself being dragged on the internet like this is fucking hysterical. “I don’t know where, when, or how OP pulled this from the depths of their asshole and decided to splatter it across the internet as Fact” is absolutely iconic. Thank you @urulokid for ending my life so beautifully
This is the right way to respond to getting dragged on the internet.

;alksjf;asldasdsjdf a;slj god the number of times I’ve felt a spike of irritation because I’ve been thinking for the last 45 minutes ‘get up and do it. do it. do it. do it. do it’ and then somebody comes and says ‘hey can you do the thing’. you literally put it into words. how even. there it is. that’s exactly the feel
but just now as I’ve been typing this answer I’m thinking: what if we kind of … need a person to remind us to do the thing so that our brain can stop running in circles trying to force us to do the thing?
like – I could really do without the rejection sensitive dysphoria feeling that causes the immediate anger. in my case it’s definitely the part of my brain that’s like ‘wow I’m the worst because I didn’t do it until someone reminded me but it’s their fault because I didn’t need reminding in the first place’. but otoh, would I really have gotten up to do it without someone outside poking me? because I think – at least for me – I’ve been telling myself ‘i’m gonna get up and do it NOW’ for like an hour usually and so while I was ‘about to do it’ I don’t know if I would have actually … done it? I don’t knoooooww.
so maybe what we need is to explain this to our reminder person? like ‘hey, I want you to know that usually when you ‘remind’ me I’m actually thinking about getting up to do it but having a hard time actually getting up to do it. so can you phrase it some way that’s not as a reminder? but more like ‘hey, are you having a hard time getting up to do the thing? this is just me trying to help you to get up to do the thing’ or something.
this got long and maybe too hard to read! sorry :C but thanks for giving me thinky thoughts about this.
My problem is that I’ll randomly get really motivated to do shit, but it’s within such a small window of time that I must do the thing at that EXACT moment and if I don’t the moment passes and I’ll have to wait like at least whole month for another random burst of motivation to do the thing ya feel
