canaries and coalmines

if you wiped every ICE agent off the face of the earth, a hundred million people would become safer overnight. if you wiped every furry off the face of the earth, the entire internet would collapse for good in a matter of hours. i know where my allegiances lie.

what's hilarious about this post is that the consensus seems to be that i underestimated both the number of people who would become safer overnight and the amount of time it would take for the internet to collapse and i actually agree. it's the type of statement you'd expect a lot of people to see and think "what a wild exaggeration," but nope. i'm underselling it for once, actually.

[Image ID: Tweet from pea poopingirl @/PoopingIRL on 8/14/23 - i think the idea of a shady dwarven salesman selling "cheap" stuff to humans and laughing to himself like "heh it will only last one generation, those stupid idiots, how will they even pass it down to their kids" forgetting that one dwarf generation is like 4 human ones is funny. There's a black bar at the bottom with an iFunny watermark in the corner. End ID.]

Elf ea-nasir selling mithril armor that will last no more than 1,000 years getting death threats from his fellow elves but doing numbers w/humans

'Good enough for humans' becomes an expression for 'you're getting there' for an apprentice.

Okay. Hot take. I don’t think Jax ran over a child. I don’t think that’s what that was about at all. Jax is characterized by escapism and deflection, refusing to admit his problems and avoiding other people’s attempts to help him. His character has never been about guilt. To add this superfluous and frankly thematically unrelated element would undermine him as a character. I personally think he ran away from home/got kicked out or something along those lines. Running away makes sense to his character and additionally his reactions to leaving the circus have always been centered around evidently not having people waiting for him on the other side. Everything in animation is intentional and with how TADC is written, it’s very clear that everything said is intentional. He has nothing in the outside world.

I’m now imagining the car from wild life but absolutely COVERED in holiday decorations. Joel’s essentially riding Santa’s sleigh when he runs Scott over this time. Bless <3
