“Can I kiss you?” is probably the cutest thing you can ever hear someone ask.

Yes. Yes, let’s romanticize actually asking for consent verbally. Let’s stop making it out to ‘ruin the mood.’ This is so important.

My boyfriend says “Can I have a kiss?” Every time he wants to kiss me, no matter if he just kissed me three seconds before that. As soon as we stop, he will ask again for another one. And if I just peck him on the lips but he wants a longer kiss, he’ll say “No, can I have a real kiss?” Today he asked me if it bothered me that he always asks. 

No. This will never bother me. This means he respects what I want. 

This, gentlemen (and ladies) is how you acquire consent. Even if you just had sex ten minutes ago, that doesn’t mean consent is assured the next time. You must always have consent. 

Asking “Can I have a kiss?” will not turn a girl off. I can pretty much guarantee it. If anything, it will do just the opposite. 

Re-reblogging for that comment.

all bugs can be organized into one of three categories: homies, chillers, and haters. hornets and wasps are haters. mosquitos are haters. most spiders are homies cuz they eat shitty bugs, some spiders are chillers cuz they dont really do anything, but also some spiders are haters because they’ll kill you. learn to tell the difference. bees are homies but they become haters if you fuck with them. most beetles are chillers but if they’re the kind of beetle that flies really fast at your face then they’re haters.

my mom once told me about how her friend’s daughter was once in a weird relationship with an older man who got off on paying her bills 

like he would give her a credit card and would totally find sexual pleasure in going over all the purchases she made with his money

but they hardly ever talked or saw each other

and the story still sits with me because i think that’s like fairytale kinds of magic right there

The Food Network Show I Want

4 chefs complete in a contest to determine who is the best.

But they are not given certain ingredients they must use. They can use whatever they want.

They are given… the name of the dish.

The judge says, “Make me ‘Purple Nirvana’” and we get to watch one chef make au gratin blue potatoes, another make a blueberry shortcake, etc. The worst dish is eliminated until one chef wins.

I would watch the hell out of this omg

The after show is Gordon Ramsays commentary.
