do you ever think about your interests for like half a second and suddenly feel like you’ve been shot in the chest

Concept: TMA quotes but it's Barbie

Proof of concept:

thought of the day: the more terrifying moments in tma aren’t about monsters at all, but what humans resolve to out of desperation. like melanie calmly asking to call her an ambulance when she’s about to go blind. or jon sawing his finger off again, and again, and again

The eye opened and I wasnt prepared.

Hey remember when US and Russia was all like “We’re the best!!! We’ve won the space race!!!!” But India sent a kick-ass space probe to Mars and the whole mission was fuel efficient, costed less and a roaring success in the first try and then they were like “…..wait no that can’t be true” and still have the audacity to call us “underdeveloped” or only view us as a ‘third world country’? :)

For anyone who needs more info, the probe was called Mangalyaan (which literally means space probe vehicle) or Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and you can also get more information here and here

Remember when NYT mocked India for this very thing and an TOI (a major indian newspaper) responded with this? :)

They were being racist asf and we were till respectful literally fuck you if you think ‘third world counties’ can’t be better than you

white people can and should reblog this

and shout out to the women engineers integral to the launch

“Indian staff from the Indian Space Research Organisation celebrate after the Mars Orbiter Spacecraft entered Mars’s orbit.

On November 5, 2013, a rocket launched toward Mars. It was India’s first interplanetary mission, Mangalyaan, and a terrific gamble. Only 40 percent of missions sent to Mars by major space organizations—NASA, Russia’s, Japan’s, or China’s—had ever been a success. No space organization had succeeded on its first attempt. What’s more, India’s space organization, ISRO, had very little funding: while NASA’s Mars probe, Maven, cost $651 million, the budget for this mission was $74 million. 

This was not the only success of the mission. An image of the scientists celebrating in the mission control room went viral. Girls in India and beyond gained new heroes: the kind that wear sarees and tie flowers in their hair, and send rockets into space.”

File your taxes for free | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)

This is the only way I want to be convinced to do taxes: by manga.

Direct File was also still operational when I filed back in February, even though Elon had already said it was shutting down. The tax return that hit my bank account like a week later indicates otherwise, so I assume it's still working? If you live in an eligible state and have the right kind of tax return it's absolutely the best option!

Sometimes I hyperfocus so hard on something, I forget I’m a person until someone interacts with me. I feel like some wild animal seeing a human being for the first time. I’m like “oh yeah I’m supposed to speak and stuff”

Me: *doing something for hours on end without stopping*

Someone: Hey, are you there? I was just wondering if you’d like to-

Me:

Funny things that happen when playing REPO with my friends:

Being chased by the creepy giant head that makes weird huffing and chomping sounds in its idle animations -> calling him Joe Biden (or Joe Bitin' at times)

Trans fem friend's character being sparta-kicked off a ledge by a clown enemy and her "transmisognyyyyyyyyy" scream as she fell into the abyss and died

Installed a mod that allows living players to hear the dead chat text-to-speech and sang Hot To Go until I was located and resurrected

"Oh hey [name] how'd you die" "I don't want to talk about it" -> immediate tell that it was a very silly and preventable death like "fell off ledge" or "made noise on open mic near enemy"

All of the enemies have silly names such as "Roger" (Mentalist) and "Michelin man" (Bowtie) and "Peepaw" (Huntsman) and "Slenderman" (Shadow Child)

Finding an item or enemy that changes your voice and immediately asking your teammate how their voice training is going. Bonus if there is a mismatch.

Getting grabbed by the vomit mask and standing in the corner trying to not vomit on the valuables and just going "I frew up :(" and "my tummy hurts :(" repeatedly

Runners up:

"Did Jaz fall off the ledge" asked by person who only heard me disappear. "....yes." said by person who RAMMED ME WITH THE CART straight off the ledge as I came around the corner

"You have enough strength to pick this up why did you ask me for help" "apes together strong" translation: I'm scared of the monsters

"Shove the alien in the hole" which was immediately responded to identically with every transgender party member "aliens in MY holes..."

"IT'S A BABY ABORT THAT THANG KILL IT KILL IT"

"Hey watch out there's a robe" "oh God wher-" *robe scream* "...found it"

Walk into room. See robe around the corner. Immediately walk out of room. Hear teammate who was in room snicker at the immediate #nope

The sheer amount of sentences cut off by HAW! *gunshot* *subsequent explosion*

Go running to the truck. Skid to a stop when I see clown standing on the truck looking at me. Teammate sends a tts "help" while hiding on truck.

The sheer amount of tts "fuck off" "go away" "you asshole" as we hide from monsters

Sticking the ducks in toilets to give them swirlies until they die

pretty sure I just made history
