nyaa:
I’m playing oblivion and I stole a wheel of cheese from a store and then like 2 hours later I’m in an oblivion gate drowning in lava and a guard swims up to me and is like “stop right there”. My bounty is 5 gold and this dude is on fire trying to arrest a cheese thief
it’s probably javert

coworker showed me Sears catalog picture from when she was probably 7, and a pantsuit model! !!!!!!!! the cutest pantsuit
pointless tangent of the day; I’m procrastinating
when I venture into the hipster side of tumblr*, I see a lot about “platonic touching.” “bring back platonic cuddling!” they say. “why can’t we have platonic hugs anymore?” they say. (see: “things people are saying” by John Oliver.)
here’s the thing. yes! you can absolutely engage in platonic touching! it goes like this: you are not sexually attracted to a person. you come in contact with them. wow! platonic! there it is! you’ve done the platonic thing!
except…
good luck dictating how the other person feels. and it’s not really something you or they can control, either, like it or not. the instant that sexual attraction, desired or undesired, enters the picture, it’s not platonic anymore for the person experiencing the attraction. and that’s not anyone’s fault. that’s biology. attraction can happen at the subconscious level and be very unwanted, but still present. you can be happily, platonically cuddling someone with a boner.
now if you what you really mean to say is, “bring back cuddling that we explicitly agree is platonic!” then you’re closer, but still not there. again, you can be BFFs with someone for years, engaging in explicitly agreed-upon platonic cuddling all the while, when one day the switch flips. you have a sex dream about them. or you see them with a small child and the family instinct rears its head. or they breathed on the back of your neck and the blood rushes to your…face.
I too would love to see touching be acceptable in all forms, in any relationship, but before that we all gotta come to terms with the fact that biology still rules the roost. and then deal with each cuddleboner on a case by case basis, with open communication and a little bit of grace.
now, who wants to cuddle?

so-the-little-honda if you aren’t already watching Halt and Catch Fire I don’t know what you’re doing with your life.
I will attack you with my Halt and Catch Fire feels if you show even a remote amount of interest. it is the fire of my loins. every single character makes me scream inside. they’re so beautiful. there’s just so much. ugh.
