BROTHERS, SISTERS, NONBINARIES, AGENDERED, ZOMBIES, PIRATES, ROBOTS, AND VARIOUS OTHERS OF ALL TYPES, HEAR ME.
Because 2016 has gone on long enough.
Because there has been clearly too much fuckboying about all over the goddamned place.
Because enough is ENOUGH.
I’m doing it. I’m calling it. Right here, and RIGHT NOW.
It’s Skeleton War time. The Summoning Circle has been lit. The bones have been called. Consider this both your warning and your call to take up arms.
Now, some of you will ask: “Haven’t we done this before? Hasn’t it been done to death already?”
“I tell you what. A man has an idea. The idea attracts others, like-minded. The idea expands. The idea becomes an institution. What was the idea? That’s what’s been bothering me, people. I tell ya: when I used to think of the idea itself, it put a big ol’ smile on my face.
“Greed is for amateurs. Disorder. Chaos. Anarchy. Rampant destruction of fuckboys with skeletal invaders. Now that’s fun! I started the first fires in this bone pit of a graveyard. Before I knew it, every charlatan and shitheel was imitating me. You know what they got now? Skeleton War greeting cards. Isn’t that precious? The idea has become the institution, boys. Time to move on.”
Those same others will then say: “Wait, you don’t want us putting on the Skeleton War?
To which I respond: “No, I want you to set a Skeleton War so goddamn big, the gods will notice us again, that’s what I’m saying. I want all you people to look me straight in the eye one more time and say: ARE WE HAVING FUN OR WHAT??!!”
IT. IS. TIME. BRING OUT YOUR SKULLS.
gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:
the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative
a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud
never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to
reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now
dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this
feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)
being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit
i am, of course, aware that historical patterns repeat themselves, but every once in a while i come across a line in a terry pratchett book that just. blows me away
Why does no one recognize the KKK as an actual terrorist group??? As an actual WHITE and CHRISTIAN and AMERICAN terrorist group?? Is it because they’re white? Is it because they’re Christian? Is it because they’re American? Or is it all three? Hm……….Guess we’ll never know………………
