Kinda glad that Great Mouse Detective is obscure, I might actually kms if Disney did ANYTHING to my precious mouse boy.

@rosecorcoranwrites

I would specifically kms by self-immolating in the Disney CGI studios as a protest.

Everyone say thank you sanitation workers we owe you our lives sanitation workers

the world's smallest carnivore is called the "least weasel" 😭😭 i'm dying but like if it's the smallest carnivore then it sure is the least amount of weasel you can have 😭😭😭

Immediately I love him

Crazy how many people want characters in fiction to speak and act like they’ve had 20 hours of intensive therapy. Could NOT be me I want these bitches fucked up insane

i think the joker should start talking like this for real. no other character should do this only the joker. i want batman to have to deal with this

Would you be comfortable with me sharing the story of how I got these scars

That would have been an incredible episode of Batman: The Animated Series, though. Joker gets out of Arkham, having convinced the psychs he's rehabilitated by speaking in fluent Therapy. Bats spends the entire episode losing his mind, because he KNOWS it's an act because NO ONE TALKS LIKE THAT and Joker reacts with total calm and understanding when he finds Batman in his pantry at 2AM. "You're violating a boundary right now, but I realize this behavior is caused by a history of trauma. Can we talk about how your inability to trust negatively affects those around you?" Meanwhile steam is just coming out of Batman's ears

Are you in the right headspace to receive information on you potentially being overserious?

Hot take: writing is super easy actually, you just have depression.

I figured it out by the way: people try to write sentence by sentence or even word by word, but that’s not how you talk. And writing is a speech act, just mediated by characters instead of sounds.

When you say writing who you talk, do you mean just focusing on getting the general ideas and plot beats out first and foremost, and editing the finer details when it's all finished, or am I misunderstanding?

Not exactly. I am saying that writing is talking, but with letters not your mouth. You don’t talk word by word or sentence by sentence, you talk in whole ideas. It’s not the same as just getting general ideas out first, though, because you’re actually telling your story, the way you would tell a story in person—but you do then go through and edit it to add detail and make it clearer.

the only bad thing you can say abt the lotr movies is that they dont have tom bombadil. [boredly reading ad copy] but now thanks to DisNetflHboPrime+Extra and the guys that brought you stranger things, Bombadil™️ will be an 8 episode, 16hr limited miniseries premiering only on Poob. the hilarious action fantasy adventure prequel to the lord of the rings follows zendaya as galadriel, Bill skarsgard as gandalf, dave bautista as Orc Dave, and of course, chris evans as bouncing Tom Bombadil himself. score by reznor & ross with special appearances by natasha lyone, taylor swift, and ed sheeran (from the game of thrones cinematic universe) and 2 million dollar budget per episode critics are raving "its fine" and "theres some good stuff in there i guess" poob subscriptions start at 39.99/wk

One of the most annoying genres of people on the internet are people who act like they believe science is one single monolithic thing. Like, you'll see an article saying something like "scientists studying the movement of tectonic plates", and then in the comments there'll be several smug people saying "smh why are scientists doing this instead of finding a cure for cancer", like. Why would a geologist be doing that.

idc what you guys think I'm proud of him

Several AI services (chatbots 🫩) are purposely addictive, the same way people can become addicted to gambling or shopping. We’ve literally seen in real time how ChatGPT has caused psychosis and delusions in people; it can have a huge affect on someones’s mental stability. Just because it isn’t substance-based doesn’t mean that doesn’t count as an addiction, and shaming people who are trying to move on and improve themselves is counterproductive. Im proud of that dude and his 4 month mark!

anytime someone from the UK orders a print from me I’m delighted because the addresses tend to be charming and sound completely made-up, I just suspend my disbelief and accept that I’m sending a package someplace with a name like Bristleberry House at Ditchmallow in Brambleford-on-Cotton—incredible lmaooo I bet this gets delivered to you by a badger in a little coat

@bigbraveboop

All of these areas are places you would certainly get killed in on Midsomer Murders.

I mean these are cute but I also need you to know I grew up near a place called Nasty

this post is absolutely bafling as a british person because like 85% of these names just feel so incredibly normal to me it’s so jarring to see how non-british people react to them

you can’t convince me there isn’t some dude - sorry, some bloke named Kirby Underdale who lives near that last sign. he drives a little too fast, it makes everyone nervous, and his neighbors decide to have a sign made and installed instead of talking to him about it.

When you’re an American kid reading Harry Potter and you see that the Weasleys live at the Burrow in Ottery-Saint-Catchpole, you think that’s a very wizardy-sounding place to live, and then you get older and realize that’s just a normal British address

I mean British people would probably have a similar reaction to knowing that there are two places between my town and Phoenix that are called Bloody Basin and Horsethief Basin, and that near Tucson you can hike in the Superstition Mountains.

thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow... its going to make me cry

”#I LOVE that the comic keeps the lens on Calvin’s dad to the degree of not even showing Calvin’s excited face when his dad surprises him, #You can see the joy and excitement of the moment in his pose and reflected in his dad’s expression, #it’s a great little artistic decision, #I realized what gets me about it it’s the hat covering his dad’s head and hair so the dad just looks like Calvin. #you don’t HAVE to show Calvin! You already see him in the dad becoming a kid for a moment you only have to draw that once”

Jabberwocks are starting to really intrude on the territory of the Snallygaster and crowd them out. Please report when you see them and help preserve our American monsters!

Biologists prefer the term “fearsome critters”, just FYI. They resemble monsters but only due to convergent evolution.

I’ve been wigged out by the term “bodies” since I first saw it used in some essay I ready in college. “Black bodies” “queer bodies” “fat bodies” “female bodies” why are you so unwilling to see people as people.

People qua people are inherently valuable for what is within them. When you are a Marxist psychopath, everything is class based; you are your categorization. The valuable thing isn’t who you are but what you are. Your characteristics as a meat-thing determine your class; your character and intellect just muddy the waters.

“I ain’t reading all that” your brain is rotting and shrinking

Yes, but also, I am begging you on bended knee, paragraph breaks.
