âi never see you at the clubâ ok well i never see you on ao3 at 2am reading about the same two bitches falling in love for the 1000th time in the 500th way
Did anyone ever like attempt to document and compile the variations of Barney the dinosaur murder ballads across the elementary school system in the early 2000s. Like legit it has always fascinated me as a phenomena and I would love to know if there were like traceable regional variations or what.
Looking at the tags so far Iâm kind of fascinated by how much the âI Love Youâ parodies vary in their phrasing/murder weapons but the âJoy to the Worldâ ones are nearly identical
here is my collection of barney murder songs as they appeared in the notes and comments of this post at about 4 pm pacific 7/25, somewhat arbitrarily color coded to show similar memes. it appears that "baseball bat and 2x4" is the mode configuration but there is so much variation that that exact phrasing only makes up a small part of the set. if i knew more about statistical modeling i would turn this into some kind of data tree that shows which phrases are most likely to follow other phrases.

Quynh spent 500+ years repeatedly drowning in an iron maiden at the bottom of the ocean, and the only thing going through her mind was that she needed to get out and save Andy because she thought she was stuck too---
Joe: I need some alone time
Nicky: The idea that this man wants to be parted from me for even a second is extremely suspicious

I have realized that the perfect form of media must have a delicate balance between absolutely heart wrenching pure emotional devastation and the most ridiculous nonsense you have ever seen in your whole life

The Old Guard 2 (2025)
truly never getting over the greatest loss streaming services caused: the disappearance of DVD special features. behind the scenes, bloopers, deleted scenes, commentaries, I will never forget you, I will never stop missing you.
Tips for writing flawed but lovable characters.
Flawed characters are the ones we root for, cry over, and remember long after the story ends. But creating a character whoâs both imperfect and likable can feel like a tightrope walk.Â
1. Flaws That Stem From Their Strengths
When a characterâs greatest strength is also their Achilles' heel, it creates depth.
Strength: Fiercely loyal.
Flaw: Blind to betrayal or willing to go to dangerous extremes for loved ones.
âSheâd burn the whole world down to save her sisterâeven if it killed her.â
2. Let Their Flaws Cause Problems
Flaws should have consequencesâmessy, believable ones.
Flaw: Impatience.
Result: They rush into action, ruining carefully laid plans.
âI thought I could handle it myself,â he muttered, staring at the smoking wreckage. âGuess not.â
3. Show Self-Awarenessâor Lack Thereof
Characters who know theyâre flawed (but struggle to change) are relatable. Characters who donât realize their flaws can create dramatic tension.
A self-aware flaw: âI know I talk too much. Itâs just⌠silence makes me feel like Iâm disappearing.â A blind spot: âWhat do you mean I always have to be right? Iâm just better at solving problems than most people!â
4. Give Them Redeeming Traits
A mix of good and bad keeps characters balanced.
Flaw: Theyâre manipulative.
Redeeming Trait: They use it to protect vulnerable people.
âYes, I lied to get him to trust me. But he wouldâve died otherwise.â
Readers are more forgiving of flaws when they see the bigger picture.
5. Let Them GrowâBut Slowly
Instant redemption feels cheap. Characters should stumble, fail, and backslide before they change.
Early in the story: âI donât need anyone. Iâve got this.â
Midpoint: âOkay, fine. Maybe I could use some help. But donât get used to it.â
End: âThank you. For everything.â
The gradual arc makes their growth feel earned.
6. Make Them Relatable, Not Perfect
Readers connect with characters who feel humanâmessy emotions, bad decisions, and all.
A bad decision: Skipping their best friendâs wedding because theyâre jealous of their happiness.
A messy emotion: Feeling guilty afterward but doubling down to justify their actions.
A vulnerable moment: Finally apologizing, unsure if theyâll be forgiven.
7. Use Humor as a Balancing Act
Humor softens even the most prickly characters.
Flaw: Cynicism.
Humorous side: Making snarky, self-deprecating remarks that reveal their softer side.
âLove? No thanks. Iâm allergic to heartbreakâand flowers.â
8. Avoid Overdoing the Flaws
Too many flaws can make a character feel unlikable or overburdened.
Instead of: A character whoâs selfish, cruel, cowardly, and rude.
Try: A character whoâs selfish but occasionally shows surprising generosity.
âDonât tell anyone I helped you. I have a reputation to maintain.â
9. Let Them Be Vulnerable
Vulnerability adds layers and makes flaws understandable.
Flaw: Theyâre cold and distant.
Vulnerability: Theyâve been hurt before and are terrified of getting close to anyone again.
âItâs easier this way. If I donât care about you, then you canât leave me.â
10. Make Their Flaws Integral to the Plot
When flaws directly impact the story, they feel purposeful rather than tacked on.
Flaw: Their arrogance alienates the people they need.
Plot Impact: When their plan fails, theyâre left scrambling because no one will help them.
Flawed but lovable characters are the backbone of compelling stories. They remind us that imperfection is humanâand that growth is possible.
I bet it feels good as fuuuuck to slightly draw your sword with all the other knights in anger when a treacherous knave shows their face in the court
#conversely i bet it feels incredible to step into the throne room; see everyone draw their swords; arch your eyebrow#and deliver a smug little quip (via @elucubrare)
to be perfectly honest. i don't care if it is cheesy or cliched or idealistic. i like stories where the core of it is about kindness, the warmth we can offer others and the gentleness we receive in return. maybe the moral of the story IS love triumphs. it better fucking be

obsessed with the fact that howl movingcastle, like, is the ideal portal fantasy protagonist. he's a welsh rugby-playing grad student who enters a magical world where he discovers he's a wildly powerful wizard. there's an evil witch out to get him and the king needs his help and there's a curse catching up with him. he has a magical creature sidekick and an orphan apprentice and a mentor who gets killed by the evil witch halfway through and a love interest under a terrible curse. the story is BEGGING for him to be the main character. and he's just like. no <3.
i think perhaps the most annoying/exhausting phenomenon in existence is when something kind of genuinely sucks but it has, like, a female lead or whatever so half the people that are saying it sucks are nightmare people that unironically call things "woke garbage" and the other half are people that just like. have a basic sense of story structure and knowledge of character arcs as a concept that quite reasonable think this thing sucks. BUT it gets assumed that 100% of people who think it sucks are in that first half and then there's a backlash TO the backlash and all along it's still not a good fucking story. I call this "The twilight phenomena" because it got a lot of hate because of a mockery of teenage girls when it had well deserved hate for the like racism and misogyny and the throwaway detail that a grown ass man is somehow romantic soulmates with a quite literal baby.
