People will literally see a sage green building and be like "what if it was white" 🙄

People will literally see a unique little house and be like "what if it had beige vinyl siding" 🤢

People will literally see a gorgeous Victorian painted lady house and be like "what if we knock it down and make it a carwash" 🤮

People will literally decide to build a community center for their town and then be like "what if it looked like a prison" 👹

People will literally see a mom and pop store going out of business and be like "what if we had a 3rd Dunkin Donuts there" 💀

People will literally see a vacant lot and be like "what if we had 6th dollar store there" 🤑

People will literally see a 40 year old bowling alley and be like "what if it was storage units" 😵‍💫

Thank you for this good PSA because I’m still seeing sincere, published, professional writers doing “ahhhhh oh no this monster was SO UGLY i’m mentally ill now!”

forms of eldritch horror include but are not limited to - nobody will ever believe you, you must live alone with this knowledge - you will never feel safe again, and you realize you were never safe before - everything that was familiar is now strange and abhorrent to the point anything that now seems normal should be held in utmost suspicion - having this new knowledge has opened doors that will continually reveal new equally cursed knowledge without end - death and madness are no longer escapes

I’ve always felt that the idea of madness or sanity in an eldritch horror sense were misnomers. If anything, I feel a better term is a change of perspective. There is nothing inherent in seeing a greater being that “drives you insane”, it’s that this being doesn’t fit into your previous worldview at all and you have to wrestle that. Every character can and should react differently, changing in ways that “make sense” for them. It’s either a change in worldview or attempting to fit the greater being into your preexisting one. Both will have negative results, but will be interesting as hell to explore.

You know what? Unironically, I think this is the best comment I’ve seen on this post.

Obsessed with Han and Obi Wans dynamic in anh they are so utterly unimpressed with each other at all times. Han wants nothing less than to jump this old man who keeps dragging him into progressively worse and worse situation like some imperial comedy of errors and Obi Wan, who has fought in wars and seen shit beyond Hans comprehension, is deadpan like “wow you fly fast? On your piece of shit ship? That’s sooo cool”. They had to kill off obi wan because if they hadn’t han and obi wan would’ve killed each other in some spectacularly dramatic fashion and the empire would’ve won

Han never learned Obi Wans name and Obi Wan made the conscious decision to forget Hans

I still think it’s hilarious that the reason nobody ever figures out Superman’s secret identity or where he lives or what he does when he’s not saving the planet, is because he already told them all the Kryptonian stuff that can’t be tied to any of his human friends or family. I guarantee you the in-universe wikipedia article on Superman lists his name as Kal-El and the “personal life” section says that he lives full-time at his private fortress of solitude at the north pole. Nobody in the world looks at Clark Kent and thinks “oh my god, maybe he’s superman!” for the same reason nobody ever starts to suspect that their coworker who looks KINDA like Barack Obama is actually secretly Barack Obama – They know who Barack Obama is and know what he does and they know their coworker Greg is Greg and not Barack Obama. They have no reason to assume Barack Obama secretly moonlights as Greg The IT Guy at their workplace even though they’ve never seen Greg and Obama in the same place. At best, “Greg is secretly Obama” would be a running joke at the office, and the same is true at the Daily Planet. “Kal-El of Krypton, who lives in a CRYSTAL PALACE at the NORTH POLE and whose dayjob is SUPERMAN, sometimes puts on a suit and pretends to be a clumsy reporter and lives in a one-bedroom walkup in Metropolis” is a ridiculous concept to anyone who doesn’t already know it’s true

SCREAM 👏🏻 IT 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 BACK 👏🏻 SO EVERYONE 👏🏻 CAN 👏🏻 HEAR

His shit eating grin in the last one sells it

I love the idea of Clark Kent turning up to every office Halloween party in an ill-fitting Superman costume from Target.

This has gotten bigger since I last saw it ant that’s FANTASTIC

Henry Cavill literally once stood in Time Square, in a superman t-shirt, under a giant poster of himself and no one recognised him, even though he was actively trying to be recognised.

I’ve never seen this post but it just became my favorite post on the internet

the best secret identity of all.

I love every version of this post because they are all beautiful.

There’s an anecdote about the filming of the Christopher Reeves Superman movie - there was a diner close to where they were filming that Reeves would visit on his lunch break. When he showed up dressed like Superman, he would be mobbed by fans asking for his autograph. When he showed up dressed like Clark Kent, nobody even noticed him.

we need to destigmatize dropping out of college I am so serious. like dude if u realize that is Bad For You then you can just Leave. I am so fucking serious. just stop. there are other options and you don’t need to force yourself through shit you can’t do and go into debt. i promise you can just Not.

someone made a REALLY FUCKING GOOD POINT in the tags (actually a couple people did) so adding on: YOU CAN LEAVE COLLEGE AND COME BACK LATER. if college is bad for you Right Now, if you have mental or physical health issues you need to address first, if you need to get more financially stable, YOU CAN LEAVE AND COME BACK. dropping out is not an end all Final Option. you are always able to come back. there’s no age limit on going to college. if being in college is unhealthy or not doable for you Right Now, but you want to come back later, You Can Do That. you can take breaks and time to assess your situation. that’s allowed.

life should be about making cute girls tent their skirts and killing landlords with your bare hands

Makes sense. I mean, a passenger of a cruise line isn't called a sailor, right? Astronaut literally means "star sailor."

Huge oversight on my part you're absolutely right

unless “ethics” is a new brand of poppers I assure you no one involved in this is thinking about ethics

this needs the reply where someone confirmed how many of these words aren't in the Bible

Walkable cities and public transit mean nothing if they’re not accessible to disabled people 

#like are there places to sit down?????? are there stairs everywhere? are the sidewalks uneven? #can your buses and trains actually accommodate a wheelchair user?

are there shade shelters? are there signs in braille? are there both visible and audible redundancy announcements? are the schedules accurate? can you get a schedule without a phone? is the fare affordable? are there maps and signage in applicable languages? (and braille, again) can your buses and trains actually accommodate more than one wheelchair user at a time?

As a society valuing convenience over experience is why everything sucks today. Blockbuster was an EXPERIENCE. the movie theater was an EXPERIENCE. Music stores were an EXPERIENCE. Arcades were an EXPERIENCE. I don’t want to sit in my house forever!!!!! I don’t want everything streamed to my electronics!!!!! I want to sit in front of the big silver screen for 2 hours with a coke freeze and come out with my life changed!!!! I want to live and I don’t care the cost!!!!!!

as an empath i can sense that you need your dick sucked

I think everyone should make dumb ugly zines and bad music and write shitty books with weird premises and publish them for pay what you will online. I think people should write plays that are only ever intended to be performed with their friends in their living rooms. I think people who like ttrpgs should explore bizarre itch.io games and new systems that have no affiliation whatsoever with any major publishing house. If youre lucky enough to have a cool local community radio station nearby you should listen to that and what people close to you have to say and what they're creating that has no focus on being nationally appealing. I just think creation should be more joyful and local both in a geographic sense and a personal and social sense and unconcerned with whether or not it will be commercially viable or slick or even good beyond your own pride in it. And I think it's good to seek out art that exists for its own sake or to appeal to the community it was created within

Kids learn by messing up. A kid who never does anything that might lead to a mistake has been taught that it’s not okay to make mistakes
