Y’know, I really enjoy the concept of Clark Kent.
Like, minus the whole superman aspect.
because, like, okay I can buy that maybe he can disguise himself well enough to hide the fact that he’s superman, but i doubt any amount of slouching and glasses wearing can truly disguise that he’s a very tall EXTREMELY muscular man with a jawline that can cut glass.
So basically this newspaper office has this guy who looks like a weightlifter/supermodel just hanging around but he wears glasses and acts like a huge nerd and everyone just goes with it???
Like “Oh yeah, that’s Clark. No no he works here. Oh no don’t bother being intimidated by him, talk to him for five minutes and he’ll devolve into a lecture on proper tractor maintenance. We like Clark.”
I wonder if the ladies in the office ever drag him with them to bars so they don’t have to worry about creeps trying to harass them like “back off creeps our friend here is 6′4″ and grew up chucking hay bales”
And then it’s funny because (as far as they know) Clark is like, the meekest lil nerd around. (He don’t look it though!!!!)It’s just incredible to me that Clark Kent can pull off being a quiet harmless dork while still looking like, well, superman.
Do you think he occasionally turns up to the office Halloween party wearing a really shitty Batman costume?
Well, I do now.

Five times Jack Zimmermann slept with Justin Trudeau, apparently
Headcanon developed in the #omgchatplease IRC channel:
Zimms/Parse fandom was at its full flower in 2009, blooming and beautiful. Then Jack overdosed and completely dropped off media radar. Fans didn’t know what to do! There was a brief “IT’S OUR FAULT, HE COULDN’T TAKE THE MEDIA PRESSURE” wankstorm and most fans dropped out and faded away, or followed Parse into NHL RPF.
But oh, the holdouts.
Jack only got into the media once in his year away, when he attended a charity fundraiser his parents were very involved in and stood next to Justin Trudeau for five minutes. A photographer from the social page in Macleans came by and they smiled and posed for a picture, which was of course published.
The fandom holdouts went: OMG THEY BOTH UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS TO BE THE SONS OF GREAT MEN!!! SOULMATES FOREVER!!!
AUs the fandom has known:
- The arranged political marriage AU
- The drunken hookup in a Montreal gay bar AU that ends up with curtainy babyfic
- The 400k Very Srs Epic where Jack becomes Canada’s leading political spouse and you can tell the author, although not Canadian, did a LOT of research. When Trudeau is actually elected she comes back to fandom for the first time since her baby was born just to flail and cry over everyone.
- The Arthurianesque fantasy inspired-by-Merlin AU where Justin is the kingdom of Ottawa’s crown prince and Jack is his magical advisor and one true love
- The dystopian AU where the USA has invaded Canada and Justin is the leader of the Resistance and Jack is his brilliant military strategist who goes out and dares much and is desperately in love with his leader who has to stay behind and pray Jack comes back safely, but also there’s this heartbreaking part where Jack has engineered a sabotage where his guys pretend to get captured and smuggle super secret bombs into the American stronghold, but the American base commander proposes an exchange of hostages Jack willingly agrees to to get his guys back before they blow the place and it’s happy because you thought it was gonna be a suicide mission, except at the exchange they realize the American base commander is KENT PARSON and Jack can’t, he just can’t, even if it means his country is forever doomed, but he HAS TO and he DOES and Bitty started reading it as a joke but he can’t put his phone down and it’s 3am and he’s crying so hard and he will never tell Jack about this, never.
I DON’T KNOW IF I LOVE YOU OR HATE YOU, OP!!
;P When it comes to this post, I don’t know if I love or hate myself either.
Some of y’all need this post in your lives even if you don’t give two farts about Check Please.
Oh holy night. I need to read all these fics, but mostly that last one. I would read that SO HARD.
I feel the need to point out the comic series We Stand on Guard, and the TV series Okkupert, which seems to be a similar conceit, only with Norway and Russia instead of Canada and America.
self-care is tricking your self-loathing brain into a roundabout form of self-love by intensely loving a fictional character you really relate to
i am genuinely delighted (a) that so many people relate to this and (b) that nearly all the tags are along the lines of “fuck off”/“i hate this”/“don’t call me out like this” followed by “…anyway here are my personal relatable faves”
‘we’re his problem now’ calling sheet: an invaluable resource guide for calling your reps and effecting change
Using this spreadsheet:
1. All election cycle, Donald Trump has been our problem. Now, we’re HIS PROBLEM, and since Congress serves us, SO ARE THEY. Let’s use the best tool at our disposal (our elected representation) to show Donald once and for all that, in our America, LOVE TRUMPS HATE.
2. Begin with the WEEKLY-CALL-TO ACTION. This is the #1 priority for calls.
3. Toward the end of the week, when you have made and followed up on the WEEKLY-CALL-TO-ACTION, make calls re: specific progressive issues that are important to you. Call about even-numbered issues on Thursdays and odd-numbered issues on Fridays. Try to avoid calling about an issue that is directly-related to the WEEKLY-CALL-TO-ACTION, since officials will likely receive lots of calls about this particular topic. If that issue is super important to you, just make extra follow-up calls using the WEEKLY-CALL-TO-ACTION script.
Do you care about:
- Trump’s problematic, racist or otherwise inexperienced appointments?
- Health care?
- Immigration?
- Reproductive rights?
- Civil liberties/First Amendment issues?
- Marriage equality?
- Police brutality/criminal justice?
- Refugees?
- Gun violence protection?
- Climate change?
Then you need to open this Google doc now and read for tips, scripts and specific guidelines on how to make your voice heard to your reps and block Donald Trump’s harmful agenda. It will offer a weekly call-to-action, in addition to guidelines for specific issues you might care about that you can raise regularly.
It can be difficult or anxiety-inducing to know what to do or even what to say when you’re taking action. This guide helps you with all those barriers. It has scripts on what to say whether your rep is a Democrat or Republican, how to tailor your message for specific issues, and even what days to call. PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE WIDELY.
draw stick figures. sing off key. write bad poems. sew ugly clothes. run slowly. flirt clumisly. play video games on easy. you do not need to be good at something to enjoy the act. talent is overrated. do things you like doing. it’s ok to suck
jesus christ yall dont play video games on easy oh my god
You never play a video game on easy no matter how hard it is to get through.
my least favorite thing that happens on this post is people who support it- except when it comes to the thing they’re good at
gamers say “never play on easy”
artists say “sing off key but for the love of god no stick figures”
singers say “all this but if you can’t sing keep your mouth shut”
you know what? i know your type. you’re all jerks & you’re not fun to be around.
have fun jacking off to the concept of superiority at your wet blanket convention. i’ll be over here actually enjoying myself
when millennials were first heading into high school and college there was a huge trend in news stories about how stressed out our kids are, how their backs are getting messed up from carrying so many books, how they’re sleeping less and doing more school work, and how we should do more to help our kids have the childhoods we had because our kids are falling apart from stress and being forced to be more productive than kids should be. but then once millennials started hitting the workforce all the news was about how millennials are lazy and narcissistic and entitled lmao you were real concerned about us until you found out a 23 year old is more qualified to do your job than you
That’s because at some point in the middle we stopped being “their children” and became a bloc of terrifying outsiders with foreign values and little regard for what had been their established cultural norms.
this meme I hate it
I’m mostly mad that I had to sing EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE in my head

as black friday and the holidays slowly creep up on us
please please please remember to be kind to cashiers and retail workers
they want to be home and out of the store just as quickly as you want to be
I guarantee they are not getting paid enough to put up with your bullshit, and whatever material crap you’re buying isn’t more important than being a decent human being to someone providing you a service. Come the holiday season I smile more, try to up the charm factor, and tip even better than usual (and I’m a damn good tipper.)
You want to spread the spirit of positive winter holidays? Remember that retail workers are human beings and deserve respect and empathy.
this includes restaurant employees including hOSTS
