how strange...

I love gay people theres a guy in my neighborhood who named his one singular dog “simon and garfunkel”

Wile E. Coyote, two milliseconds before he lights a match only to reveal he's surrounded by flammable traps he himself has set and the whole website explodes

does anyone remember what the drinkable jelly from digimon 02 is called? chu chu? chu x2?

tbh im not entirely immune to a villain with a tragic backstory but i do think villain origins are a lot more interesting when the focus is less "here is the original sin, the first big bad thing that happened to them that made them who they are" and more "here is the first time a person who maybe otherwise felt powerless in their life realized that they could hurt someone and get away with it"

you can get a lot more mileage out of analyzing a truly abhorrent character through the lens of like. what sort of conditions would allow or even incentivize this kind of cruelty? what kind of person benefits from those conditions and how? over the more typical who hurt them type analysis. imo.

This what I mean when I say science writing is terrible and you need to actually go back to the academic publications themselves to get what’s going on
