how do i tell the nurse at the covid center who was shoving the devil sticks up my nose and was profusely apologizing the whole time that it’s not her fault i’m a moron and she’s doing just fine WITHOUT telling her this

Good take: “I want x country to win because I liked the set/the costuming/the dance number/the lyrics/the song”

Not great take: “I want x country to win because they haven’t won in so long”

Absolutely abysmal take: “I want x country to win because I’m a native from there”

happy (slightly late) valentine's day :)

hey @dakrai i got you for the @mcytblr-valentine-grams thingy !! i really hope you like this, sorry that i slightly rushed the coloring :') and i hope you have an amazing day!!!

When I was around 13-ish, I went to my first anime/comic convention. Ofc, I wasn’t cosplaying anything, and I was just walking around with a friend and shopping around the different stands.

Then, from the corner of my eye I see this clearly older than me girl, and looking back on it, she couldn’t have been more than like... 5′9. (Note, I was 5′4, maybe even a little smaller).

But to me she just seemed like a fucking giantess. She was so tall that it stood out to me immediately. She was so tall I felt like I could get cramps trying to look at her. It seemed like she towered over everybody at the con, which wasn’t really the case, but she was tall enough to me that it seemed like that was the case. This was pre-covid, and she was wearing one of those cotton masks with cute expressions on them. She was wearing it upside down.

I hurriedly made my way over to her like a little duckie following his mother goose. She witnessed me, the small gnome running in the crowd, took her headphones off and bent eloquently to the ground, at LEAST 90 degrees. I told her her mask was upside down. She was so embarrassed, she thanked me and turned it around.

I felt so accomplished. I felt like those little birds that eat the food off of crocodiles’ teeth. Like a little useless garden gnome telling the bloodthirsty orc that there was an eyelash on their cheek. I have accomplished many feats in my ripe old age of 18, I have gotten many diplomas and have been distinguished many times, but never again will I feel such immense pride as when I did the barest of minimum for this extremely tall lady. I will never feel such competency and that I mattered so much as when I helped this one extremely (to me) tall person out.

I’m trying to remember to add alt text to my photo uploads more often. I’m not exactly versed on best practice here but I feel like 95% of the image descriptions I see on tumblr seem like they’d be less helpful than nothing at all… when I imagine what I would want to know about an image that I couldn’t see (exception: images of text), it’s not an exhaustively-detailed word-picture. Isn’t it better to give a to-the-point explanation of the essential qualities, rather than a full description? I think I’d get bored and irritated after the first ten words of most image descriptions.
