I Think The Message Of Howl’s Moving Castle Is That In Order To Maintain A Successful Relationship

I don’t know who cares to hear this but if someone asks you to hang out and you can’t but you genuinely want to hang out with them, let them know that the time(s) they suggested don’t work for you and offer new times that do.

If you just say you “can’t/that time doesn’t work” with no follow up, it communicates a disinterest (to a lot of people) just a little tip on maintaining relationships

Tim: [staring intensely at Billy Batson]

Billy:.....

Billy: What?

Tim [....]: We're gonna adopt you.

Billy: What?!

Dick:.....

Dick: I'm sorry, Billy. Tim can be a little much at times. Especially when he hasn't gotten enough sleep.

Billy: Oh, yeah. No worries.

Dick [smiling wide and friendly]: What he meant to say is that our dad is going to adopt you, and you will become our newest brother!

Billy: [taking several steps back]

Billy: I.....what!

Jason: Oh my God. Why are you lunatics like this! Just *sighs exasperated* they shouldn't have told you anything.

Billy: No, that's....fine. I'm just going to---

Jason: Now you'll be so much harder to kidnap.

Billy: SHAZAM!

There's this 20-something guy that I work with that exclusively refers to his girlfriend as 'my girl' or 'my lady' and it's genuinely really cute and I'm just amazed that he manages to make it not creepy.

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

My nephew wanted us to do a dance competition so we were doing our introductions and he said "okay your choices are a dead sister who came back from the dead or a dad who left"

And I just want to say I think he really has a handle on reality shows

(hears a song lyric) this would make a great all-lower case fanfiction title

I mean, yes, I could have put all that in a single post, but an increasingly unhinged self-reblog chain has better dramatic pacing.
