welcome to my ramblings

i do think that if you reach the point where you are regularly posting in a "#[media] critical" tag or god forbid running a whole blog based around hating that media, at that point regardless of how objectively good or bad the media actually is you have gotta stop engaging with it and start engaging with something that you actually like instead for the sake of your own mental health if nothing else

My neighbor told me Larry keeps eating his Prime Ministers so I asked how many Prime Ministers he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new Prime Minister afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding Prime Ministers to Larry and then his daughter started crying.

People who try to copy historical writing styles don't say enough weird stuff in them. I'm listening to a 1909 story about a ghost car right now, and the narrator just said he honked the car horn a bunch of times, but the way he phrased it was "I wrought a wild concerto on the hooter".

Reblog to wreak a wild concerto on a hooter

ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on

FUCK this post and happy birthday sonic

we need to start legally protecting these like make this kind of bathroom part of the national park system

something that i find interesting about independent animation nowadays is that if you don't have studio/streamer backing, you have to release your work yourself on the internet, but you have to do it for free on the internet because virtually nobody is going to be willing to accept a paywall just for one original show, so what you have to do in order to make any money off of it is make all of your money from merchandising, but then this means that you show must be merchandisable and have very toyetic character designs that translate easily to plushies and whatnot, but then you also need to cater your show to people who are disproportionately inclined to buy merchandise like that in the first place so that your sales can be enough to sustain you, which means that even if you want to communicate complex or difficult ideas in your work, your independent animation project must attract (at least on a first impression) and retain viewers who are both very consumerist and very capable of rabid passion, which unfortunately has a single-circle shaped venn diagram with a lot of the most toxic fandom tendencies known to man, and this explains a lot of things about independent animation and its fandoms nowadays I think

At the moment your sign is arguably just a superstition. Once you develop a theory of how the sign works, you definitely have magic.

one of my absolute favorite aspects of spanish (the language) is the -ito suffix for things that are cute/small/adorable. i love that there's a whole "name (affectionate)" grammatical structure, it's SO FUCKING CHARMING

clark kent ticking the organ donor box on his drivers license automatically out of the goodness of his heart and then panicking because what if he actually dies somehow and some human gets a super heart what would even HAPPEN like he can't have his kryptonian retinas with laser vision donated to a random eight year old and so he has to awkwardly go back to the DMV to get it changed to not an organ donor but he's so embarrassed the whole time because the DMV employees will think he's a bad person that by the time he's done he has to go cry in the car

plot twist he's so clearly distressed and sad about doing this that the dmv folks just quietly assume he must have received some kind of awful medical diagnosis that makes him ineligible to donate and the first clerk that helped him immediately takes a smoke break and sees him crying in the car and that's how Clark gets at least 3 rock solid anonymous sources at the dmv and a free off-brand coke from the break room fridge.
