they get fogged up when we drink hot beverages.
they get smudged for no reason.
we will push them up using anything in our area (i.e shoulder, whatever is in my hand, scrunching my nose up so they get pushed up, etc.).
they get knocked off our faces all. the. fucking. time.
when we change clothes we either take them off or they fall off when we pull our shirts off.
we have to clean them after being in the rain.
we own multiple pairs of them, not just one lone pair for our whole lives.
most people don’t wear them in the pool, but some have extra old pairs for the pool (like me).
some people take them off during sex, that’s fine! but some people keep them on.
they don’t get squished into your face when you kiss (most of the time. at least from what i’ve experienced and i’ve got some mf big glasses).
if we look down and look back up while you talk/to peek up at something, we will just peek blindly over the top of them.
we clean them on whatever item of clothing is closest.
some of us have prescription sunglasses and some of us wear contacts when we need to wear sunglasses.
please keep some of these in mind when you write characters with glasses cause y’all who have 20/20 vision keep telling me all characters sleep in their glasses and own the same singular pair from age 6-25 and they never clean them.
( there’s this but you missed a few iconic glasses traits – “where’d I put my glasses” (is wearing them) – new glasses getting scratched on basically nothing. where’d the nick come from? we just don’t know. – forgetting you’re wearing synthetic material and just smudge the junk on your glasses around – after doing so, proceeding to hunt down any friend who is wearing a more cottony material – getting eyelashes on your glasses – stabbing yourself in the face with the arm of your glasses – “woah are you blind?” – “how many fingers am I holding up??” – walking into a warm room from the cold and suddenly being unable to see because your glasses fogged up – going outside and everything is Super Crisp 1080p – having three pairs of glasses and putting all of them at once – “aw dude you have transition lenses? lucky.” – the non-glasses scrutinising squint – taking off your glasses and suddenly you’re a different entity entirely – if you’re too good for taking off your glasses when dressing/undressing, realising you didn’t pull the collar of a shirt out enough and subjecting to your fate )
-For female characters wearing eye makeup is pretty much useless
– the reason why is because no matter what we do, the mascara will smear on our glasses
– thinking “Oh, there’s a little smudge. I’ll just clean it quickly”, then taking the glasses off and wondering how the hell you could see with what looks like three layers of dirt on them
– giving your loved one a little kiss but in the wrong angle so their nose touches your glasses
– the look™ when you’re in your bed lying on the side with your glasses on (aka the glasses are skewed)
-sleeping in glasses fucking hurts… well, not anymore, but it used too
-if you have long eyelashes, having to push your glasses down your nose so they dont constantly rub each other, then having to push them up cuz you cant see
-WHY WONT YOU STAY ON MY FACE?!?!?!
-*they tilt crooked slightly* oh wow, And… now Im falling over
-having transitions and right after walking into a building you can’t see because they’re still dark
-forgetting where you put them then having to either ask for help or judge your entire surroundings
-dont like contacts? like cosplaying? guess what! you’re blind now!
-trading glasses with other glasses wearers to see how blind your friends are
-when there’s a smudge that just. Won’t. Go. Away.
-“hey do you have lens cleaner?”
-your old glasses become your back up pair in case your current ones break
-metal and plastic frames are very different and most people have a preference
All of this omg
Oh also I forgot to mention the nOSE PAD THINGIES
I HATE THOSE WITH A BURNING PASSION
OH MY GOD SAME, I HAD A PAIR OF METAL FRAMES AND THE NOSE PAD THINGIES THAT CUSHIONED THE ACTUAL THINGS FELL OFF
THAT AMIGOS IS WHY I WEAR PLASTIC FRAMES
-when you’re eyelashes are wet (from crying, etc) and you blink your eye and the wet smears all on the inside of your lens
-figuring out how to lay down on the couch without disrupting the delicate balance of your glasses’ arms
-the nose pieces turn green and gross near the screw part
-opening a dishwasher right after it’s done drying dishes? LENS FOG
– Fogging up your glasses intentionally in the cold so that you can clean them off. -DEFOGGING YOUR GLASSES IN THE COLD SO YOU CAN SEE. -the inevitable lens falling out when your glasses are 2 years old and the screw gets loose enough (metal glasses issue) – Getting a new pair of glasses after two years and suddenly you have a headache BUT EVERYTHING LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER.
being autistic and being That Person who switches between glasses and perscription sunglasses because THE SUN IT BURNNNNS (doesnt use transitions because i heard that if its really cold they just go completely black)
– babies have an uncanny radar for grabbing glasses off your face
– oh fuck those were some fugly glasses I had back then
– spring. hinges.
Having to switch between regular glasses and sunglasses is a pain and you ALWAYS have to have a bag basically.
With trifocals or progressive lenses, different areas are for different distances so you have to tilt your head until you find the right Zone.
Polarized sunglass lenses and want to take a quick peek at your phone? Good luck with that…
Not being able to see diddly squat after a dilated eye exam.
Putting glasses on top of your head and then the nose pads get stuck in your hair.
Don’t try to wear a scarf if you enjoy Vision
Cats scratching their faces on the corner of the lens, then headbutting you and smashing the glasses into your nose.
3D and Imax movies are not for you.
Having to put them back in the exact same spot every night, or else you have to hunt for your glasses while you can’t see anything and hope they weren’t knocked to the floor where they can be stepped on.
• Not realizing there is a hair trapped near the hinge until you take the glasses off. Ouch.
• The joy of discovering cheap prescription glasses available online
• Frames absolutely follow trends (and sometimes movies set in the past are rendered completely unbelievable because the person is wearing The Wrong Style of Glasses.)
• Not everyone’s vision is bad the same way! Some people take off their glasses and everything is impossibly blurry; some people take off their glasses and things are still sharp, but have the functional appearance of tiny vibrations (that’d be astigmatism, which is why I need glasses)
• The vision is not equally bad in each eye.
Having regular Nearsitedness/Farsightedness AND astigmatism :^)))
Those little indents you get in your nose from nosepads
The permanent dark circles you have from the lenses interfering with sun exposure to the skin around your eyes
Your eyes looking sunken in after years of wearing glasses
YOUR EYES LOOK SHRUNK THROUGH LENSES FOR NEARSIGHTEDNESS!!!! THE WORSE YOUR EYES ARE THE WEIRDER IT LOOKS!!!!
Alternatively, farsighted glasses make you look like some sort of anime girl with how big your eyes get
This should be the new “is your Batman remotely like Batman” test. Can your version of Batman be caring enough to hold and care for a small child, yet still menace four criminals into surrendering, and even then still not be scary enough that a civilian can just go up to him and say “hey you holding that baby wrong, you clearly do not know what you’re doing. Let me help.” And he accepts her help, doesn’t try pretend he doesn’t need help because it’d hurt his image.
witches on this site who act like walmart selling witch costumes and starbucks making ‘witch’s brew’ drinks is cultural appropriation and then go n steal up bits of native american, african, african american, etc. culture… save everyone the time n just say ur racists!
They also love forgetting the people persecuted the most during the witch trials were Jewish/RRomani or just Not White in Europe
A japanese zoo, Tobu Zoo, had a colab with the anime Kemono Friends where they added cutouts of the anime characters to the enclosures of the matching animals to attract visitors and stuff, one of these characters being Hululu, an airhead anthropomorphic Humboldt penguin:
Grape-kun, an old humboldt penguin who’d been abandoned by his former mate due to his health issues, started showing a lot of interest for the cutout, staring at it for hours, trying to reach it on top of the tall rock where it was placed, and even trying to court it.
Of course, Kemono Friends already being a surprise hit show, the thing went viral and tons of art, jokes and other content were made. Even after the colab was over, the zoo didn’t remove Grape-kun’s sunshine, and Hululu’s VA Ikuko Chikuta even visited Grape-kun during an educational event:
Unfortunately, Grape-kun was already old and his health started to deteriorate. He was removed from his enclosure for treatment, along with his muse of course, that was placed next to him. On october 12, 2017, Tobu Zoo announced that Grape-kun passed away, with Hululu by his side in his final moments. Once again Grape-kun started trending, this time in a sadder tone as fans, visitors and part of the Kemono Friends staff paid their respects.
As a final homage to Grape-kun, a new cutout was added to the penguin enclosure in january 2018, immortalizing this romance:
And thus ends the tale of Grape-kun and Hululu. May our little Friend rest in penguin heaven with his anime wife, gone, but never forgotten.
jane the virgin: portraying a bisexual man in a healthy relationship and slaying biphobes since 2017
It’s really interesting what she says “I can’t give you what a man can.” A lot of gay men avoid relationships with bi men because they worry that they can’t provide what a woman can. People, gay or straight, think that for a bi person the grass is always greener on the other side.
Straight men and lesbians have said the same. It’s insecurity rooted in the notion that bi people have all the options constantly at their fingertips AND are insatiable. We don’t choose a team, we choose a person. A failure to understand this mostly boils down to people not believing bisexuality is real.
ok but imagine peter not caring about his secret identity anymore and not making any effort to conceal it yet absolutely no one finds out he’s spiderman. peter wears the suit under his pants and a jacket but literally no one notices. he only gets a ‘cool shirt dude’ from a student he doesnt know. he does the iconic spiderman shooting-webs-from-his-hands pose in every single picture. no one says a word. he enters the classroom through the window. just as him, not spiderman. the classroom is on the second floor. no one cares.
