Overwhelmed as one would be
Placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the one
Born to bear and bring to all

Typical.

Once upon a time, the ancient Greeks practiced an art form which combined lines of rhythmic poetry with musical accompaniment.

[He's] off limits, I’m afraid. The Queen of Air and Darkness has taken him as her Knight, and I doubt she’d be pleased with his slaughter so soon after rescuing him from the jaws of Death.
Besides, I’d miss staring at his cute butt.
Fanfiction roleplay between bloggers (link contains spoilers for The Dresden Files)

The narrator that began the game was a king from a neighboring country of questionable allegiance; the narrator that ends the game is Vaan’s childhood friend, Penelo, speaking of dreams fulfilled. What keeps us playing, then, is not the story of the boy who wants to fly or the man who thirsts for honor, nor is it the princess or the sky pirate or the bunny lady (although the bunny lady is dope).

''Although the High Ones didn't seem to have a reptilian agenda, much like the modern day story of this creation tale we have grown so used to (via the god blessed internet conspirators) none the less, they recapitulate my favorite story — that there is no new tale to tell.

Wilbur Soot, Dream SMP

"I reached down, brushing the jacket of the school uniform aside to reach what looked like a small canister about the size of a cell phone case that had been clipped onto my belt. Flipping the cap open with my thumb, I caught hold of the top couple inches of the object within and tugged it up a bit. Those inches were followed by several more, until the first foot or so of my new kinetic-burst staff was drawn into view. This, despite the fact that the canister on my belt was entirely too small to contain it. Somehow, the five foot long stick just… kept going when I slid it inside, until only enough stuck out to get hold of with my fingers. It was, to use the scientific term, completely fucking amazing."
Felicity "Flick" Chambers, Heretical Edge

"The thing that distinguishes Tumblr shitposts from shitposts on other social media platforms isn’t the content, it’s the register. The hairpin code-switching between very formal and very vulgar speech – the kind of speech that will use the words 'increasingly' and 'fucktrumpet' in the same sentence."

"Scale in Transformers is, not to put too fine a point on it, screwed."

Thou dost find a fuckton of spears!

The best way to sum this up is to recite a very famous quote from William Shakespeare: "Fuck it!"
The Angry Video Game Nerd when referring to the awfully inaccurate Godzilla Game Boy adaptation

The amount of PlayStation consoles may seem superfluous, but you'd be astonished at how many times I've had to cleanse my dwelling of begrimed and impure consoles tainted by shitty games.

Juliet, Epic Rap Battles of History: "Romeo and Juliet vs. Bonnie and Clyde"

"This idea of society without balance is central to the philosophy of French sociologist Jean Baudrillard. In the Transparency of Evil he argues the kind of moral progress Batman seeks would be impossible. Because even as he seeks to uphold justice by making criminals his bitch, he creates more extreme forms of order for criminals to subvert."

"The success of a nation is determined by materialistic and socioeconomic factors. Read a fucking book."

"Filthy Frank is the embodiment of everything a person should not be. He is anti-PC, anti-social, and anti-couth. He behaves and reacts excessively to everything expressly to highlight the ridiculousness of racism, misogyny, legalism, injustice, ignorance and other social blights. He also sets an example to show how easy it is in the social media for any zany material to gain traction/followings by simply sharing unsavoury opinions and joking about topics many find offensive.There is no denying that the show is terribly offensive, but this terrible offensiveness is a deliberate and unapologetic parody of the whole social media machine and a reflection of the human microcosm that that social media is. OR MAYBE IM JUST FUCKING RETARDED."

"It's unique to be able to just fly up, will yourself around it, and kind of paint freeform as you coast around - an untethered free spirit of art and expression. And within a few moments, you have... masterfully shaded it to look like a big ol' donger."
Critical Role, "Long May He Reign"

"I believe it has come time to expire. I have designs upon departing. I wish to become deceased. Fucking kill me."

"I am not a music critic, nor historian nor archivist. I cannot tell you where Bruce Springsteen falls in the pantheon of the American songbook.
