Dorkstone-toa - All I’m Hearing Is Dorkstone

my favorite microniche of cartoon tropes is when you look at a cartoon characters closet and it’s literally like 30 sets of the same outfit they’re in every episode

like call me easily amused but you can’t tell me this

isn’t peak comedy

As a writer I hate it when people get so perfect with grammar and sentence structures. My personal opinion is if it follows the rules of language enough to where you can clearly understand what the person is trying to say it’s perfect. Language was created to communicate and express ideas, not restrict us. I was so bugged when Stephen King in his book On Writing said it was weaker or worse to say: ‘“He jumped!” he exclaimed.’ Then to say ‘“He jumped!” he said.’. It was just such a nit-picky thing to say. Language was made to express yourself but people judge certain ways of speaking/writing for no valid reason. Say everything other than said, say said as well, say whatever you want! Language is a tool not a barrier. Language is one of the greatest inventions in history, you should not be scared to mess up in it or to be judged for your words. Say stuff in weird ways! Say words from hundreds of years ago! All that matters is you are understood. That is the only rule that should matter. Never be scared to say funky things. If you are judged then ignore them. If you are understood and happy with the words you choose then nothing else should be of importance. Love language.

just in-case anybody else needed to see this beautiful moment in modern history

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.
