I was studying this in my history lessons like two days ago.
"because of woke" is the funniest reason for anything. cant kill politicians anymore, because of woke. cant find a parking spot, because of woke. cant nap all day, because of woke.

Richard Papen talking about Bunny. How we all thought about a certain friend at some point.
WHY SOME HUMANS ARE SO WHOLEOSMEEE this is what we're all supposed to be living guys dont think capitalism is okay this is what they took away from us 😭😭
i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"
Lamias always on their knees begging smh..

whenever fics or headcanons or even (very cute) fanart depicts Will being embarrassed by Hannibal's praise and adoration I'm like take a good LoOk at this bitch:
he would GLOAT, he would stare at a huge framed drawing Hannibal made of him laying naked in the garden that hangs in the middle of the dinning room and be like "hmm yes I look magnificent" and sip his little wine.
