he yell at own caretaker

Oh, Ann.

When your child says “Why can’t I get a puppy?”

Instead of defaulting to “My house, my rules”

Try “Any pet is a lot of responsibility. A puppy would have to be fed, walked, and taken outside to use the bathroom several times a day and taken for regular check-ups and vaccinations at the vet. You can’t do all of that by yourself, and I/we don’t have the time or money either.”

When your teenager says “Why can’t I come home at 2:00 this Saturday?”

Instead of defaulting to “My house, my rules!”

Try “The time you come home is a matter of respect and consideration. I/We will not only be concerned for your safety, but we would either be disturbed in the middle of the night when you arrive or forced to stay up for several extra hours waiting.”

When your child says “Why am I not allowed to do this thing?”

Instead of defaulting to “My house, my rules!”

Try actually communicating a legitimate reason, because children pick up on subtlety and on context and on the unspoken messages, and it’s better to teach children lessons like “You should think really hard before taking on new responsibilities” and “It’s important to show consideration for the needs of the people with whom you share a living space” than lessons like “It’s okay for people to demand your absolute obedience so long as you’re dependent on them for survival.”

JAKE THOUGHT STEPHEN SPOILED THE MOVIE OH MY GOD

I MEAN HE THOUGHT STEPHEN WAS REVEALING THE PLOT TWIST IN THE MOVIE 

saw his life flash before his eyes

ok but does anyone else feel really bad for andrew garfield? it was literally his dream to play spiderman since he was a child and it’s not his fault they remade it too soon and sony did a shitty job. he was so excited to be in this movie that he showed up to comic con in a regular spiderman costume. and now he’s probably getting recast and he’s probably really upset about that, no matter how much you think the tasm movies were unnecessary or not-so-great.

play this at my wedding or funeral I don’t care where but just plAY IT

Selina by Elicia Donze. Drawn in PS. This is a portrait of my sister as Catwoman that I drew for her as a gift. Please do not remove caption.

[Caption: A realistic digital painting of Selina Kyle aka Catwoman. Portrait is from the waist up. Selina is wearing a black PVC catsuit, a matching black skull cap with cat ears, large black goggles resting atop her head, eyeliner, and bold red lipstick. She’s gazing upward and smiling. Vivid green light glows from her right. The background is deep blue with a disc of bright blue framing Selina’s head.]
