Tumblr post by chongo blog from August 22, 2019: Can't wait for, like, 2025 when we look back on the 2018/2019 era and say "hey, remember when we were all freaking depressed? That was a crazy time. Glad we aren't like that anymore" Reply by Ampersketch from May 10, 2025 (marked yesterday): Hey Reply by chongo blog, same day: Don't say anything

My favourite hiding place? The spot where your neck meets your shoulder, the one I press my lips to when I come home to your arms, the safest place I’ve ever known.

Making my way through LORD OF THE RINGS for the first time and I will admit to being charmed by how Tolkien goes out of his way to explain why the hobbits have tobacco but says nothing about why there's fireworks but no cannons.

Top-notch photography is often about choosing the right angle and perspective.

Found this "outtakes" image and it does, like, 97% of the work for the Kirk / Spock shippers.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

🍻🍻
A meme with a picture of four beers that says, “Off work late? hungry, but too tired to cook? try FOUR BEERS. four beers back to back to back to back for dinner. no snacks no real food just four beers and then just go to bed. you will certainly not regret drinking four beers”

I love when old people discover AO3 🥰
Post by Tumblr use @blenselche: well it finally happened so my dad is almost 80, this man's been making Spirk content since Star Trek started airing basically he never knew ao3 existed, he just thought people stopped writing fanfic when ff.net died, like it was a fad that had outgrown him or smth he clicked an ao3 link in my pinned last night, realizing that they were in fact clickable he's mad at me for not telling him earlier. "I don't have a lot of years left in me and there's so much to read" he's gonna spend his whole retirement reading trek fanfic now jesus christ [Drawn image of a person coveinging their face with both hands]

Today in FAFO news, I have covid. I’ll be angry with myself if I can’t travel at Christmas because I don’t usually wear a mask. I only have myself to blame.

NO CHEATING your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. So who is it? Quote yours.

Hmm, does this count as a celebrity photo? I would be in good hands with regard to food, that’s for sure.
I am holding a library book. The cover has an orange border and a black and white portrait of Stanley Tucci, a bald, Italian-American man wearing black-rimmed glasses. The book is Stanley Tucci’s memoir, “What I Ate in One Year.” You can see glimpses of my house behind the book.

I need to be insane about the things I love otherwise the insanity will bleed over to other aspects of my life. I can only practice decorum and be demure in public if I can be unhinged in private.

“reading fics is for jobless people” the best fic you’ll ever read is written by women in their 40s with incredibly successful corporate jobs that allow them to buy ungodly amounts of merch, i promise you

I think someone in my neighborhood has some ice cream truck-style Christmas music as part of their outdoor display, and this might be okay in cold weather climes, but we’re in South Florida. I don’t want to listen to that tinkly-ass shit through my open windows all month. #bahhumbug

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take.

It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨
