The Vast Majority Of Celebrities Really Don't Want Attention From Strangers When They're Just Walking

The vast majority of celebrities really don't want attention from strangers when they're just walking their dog or having a date with someone. I've joked around on here about stanning certain actors I admire, but I want to be very clear that it's a joke; by 'stan' I mean I look at the stuff they've shared publicly on their social media. Privacy is something everyone needs, and I feel...really protective, of that. <3

BOUNCY PORK OMG

obsessed with this baby hippo from thailand's khao khew zoo.. she has been so utterly betrayed by the world

My favorite thing in this fandom is how everyone drools over this look. Because it's the most boring outfit imaginable, and yet she's just glowing. Compared with how she was the entire rest of the series, the difference is night and day.

I also love that they kept her looking kind of windblown -- her hair's messy, her clothes are a little rumpled, something about her belt is just slightly off-kilter/cattywompus. And I love that she's still a bit shy or something, that even though she's happier and more alive now she's still recognizable as the same gorgeous awkward weirdo she always was.

Ugh. This was just really well done and I love it.

watched the finale of Deadloch and my main takeaway is this look™️

Every once in a while I remember that this photo happened and my day gets a little bit better.

Not sure if this counts as fanfiction exactly, given that it's the actors from canon who created it. Apocrypha, maybe?

If I had a nickel for each time I've been told to stop "overthinking" this type of hypothetical or categorical question, I'd have...a lot of nickels.

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.
