realtalk make a pact w/ me if i ever am like “yo im caught in a time loop” please believe me i promise i wont ever use it as a prank either like ive been watching a lot of tv shows and movies w/ fucking time loop plotpoints where one character knows it and if i ever become that person i want to not have to constantly prove it to them. just take it on honest that a magic or something happened.

aight so here’s my policy on this for anyone in this situation: i’ve come up with a passphrase ahead of time that you can tell me to indicate that you’re in a time loop. on the first time around, you’re going to have to actually prove you’re timelooping to me, but as soon as you do so, i give you the passphrase, and you can use that to cut to the chase on subsequent loops. 

your passphrase can also be used to easily identify versions of yourself from the future!

#everyone should have a passphrase #a simple step to prepare for a wide variety of SFnal plotlines

*nod* I have a passphrase, good back to about age fourteen. Also an (unrelated) Standard Thought for use on people claiming they can read my mind, to make sure I can think of something other than the obvious, easily guessable stuff like “I hope they can’t read my mind; that would be pretty privacy-invading if they could do that”. (I suppose I could use the first passphrase as the second (not the other way ‘round), but that’s not how it’s worked out.)

I also have a “your memory’s been erased” signal that past selves can leave for me to find. Several, in fact, to cover a range of time and materials needed.

HOLY TRINITY 

 

fannishminded:

MULTIPLE people I am following are asking what these are, why we call them holy when only one has a hole. If they are made by the same company, and what is with us praising these.

I weep for you people, from other countries. WEEP.

Aussies may have Tim Tams.

EU may have Kinder and All sorts of fantastic biscuits.

USA? Has GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.

Not only are these things SINFULLY good, they are only sold for a bit over 1 month of the year, depending on region, that month of the year changes.

That middle one is Chocolate, Caramel Coconut. The left one is Peanut Butter, chocolate and sex on a stick aka crumbly cookie/biscuit.

You can eat em straight from the box, but pros? Pros eat these bad boys frozen.

And thin mints, man. that right one? THIN MINTS. You may have heard of these. Chocolate biscuit infused with mint essence coated in dark chocolate.

Yeah.

Those thin mints.

The Thin Mints for which every grown ass American on a Medical Diet cries for when they see a girlscout.

The Thin Mints with 1000 copycats, and not a one of them successful.

Girl Scouts, regularly boycotted by Fundies and Anti-choice nutters, not only taste amazing, but you get the joy of giving money to a good cause, while subtly flipping the bird at overly wound up fundie groups.

It’s like donating to Planned Parenthood and getting a box of double dark chocolate with fudge filling tim-tams especially made for them.

 

doctorcakeray:

The reason we eat them frozen is that we buy as many boxes of thin mints as we possibly can during that short sale period, and then store them for the dark months, like proud American squirrels.

PROUD AMERICAN SQUIRRELS.

This is the greatest explanation of Girl Scout cookies I’ve ever seen

 

elenabernalt:

Hey… gives us some, haven’t you been told to share?

 

justice-turtle:

NOBODY SHARES THIN MINTS, BUY YOUR OWN ;-)

fuck I missed it again, I hate being broke, SOMEDAY I will have money during February and buy Girl Scout cookies

Are there any late booth sales in your area? I know I looked it up recently and saw that the Girl Scouts of Western New York (my nearest council) had booth sales going well into March.

Unfortunately, my parents have since decided we’re not going to NY again until April. :(

(For the record, Canada has Tim Tams and Kinder. The Girl Guides here sell mint cookies in the autumn, but they have a layer of Oreo-like cream on top, just below the chocolate coating. Since I’ve never been too fond of Oreo cream, I find it renders them inferior to proper Thin Mints.)
