how to delete a mario mistake??

I got a job at a gas station across from a casino and a guy keeps coming in to buy whole cartons of cigarettes and talks in the third person calling himself "snake eyes pete" and every time I tell him his total hes like "tell ya what if old Pete rolls a snake eyes why dont you give it to him for free?" and he rolls the same set of loaded dice on the counter and it does not matter how many times he rolls snake eyes I will not give him the cartons for free he gets so mad

everyone likes to talk about accidental foreshadowing in taz balance and how truly special and unique to the medium it is until it's about magnus voring the philosopher's stone as foreshadowing for the hunger trying to consume the light of creation. then nobody ever wants to talk about that brilliant yet accidental narrative parallel and why it makes the podcast so special for some reason

my irrationally large but fully canonically justified pet peeve about a really minor thing in taz balance fandom is people saying that barry and lup had crushes on each other for 47 years before they admitted it. because that would imply that they fell for each other at first sight, like within the first cycle — but at least to me, the whole appeal of canon blupjeans is that they didn't! when barry, quote, "felt it first," it was "during a particularly challenging year," implying they were past the first cycle by then (because otherwise griffin would just say cycle 1), and most likely, they'd even gotten far enough into the century for the "average" difficultly of a cycle to become at least vaguely established. then lup "wasn't far behind" all the way on cycle 17, the robot world, where she had her realization, and like... her feelings didn't just spring into existence fully formed out of nothing when she saw barry getting zapped by one cute robot one day; there was definitely a gradual buildup, but like. there's nothing in the framing whatsoever that suggests they were "in love at first sight" and "in denial starting from the first cycle," as opposed to just. falling in love slowly. it was a love they cultivated "quietly and cautiously" — because they had all the time in the world, as the people they trusted most were happy to remind them. and i like that because i like slowburns. not policing how people wanna characterize them or AUs or what have you, but the slowburn is canonical and heart-meltingly gooey. they're not love at first sight, because they're something much more uniquely barry and lup about it all, and that's beautiful

ID / TL;DW: young Black man explains the history of voodoo dolls: they originated in England, where Black people where prohibited from learning to read or write, to help witches keep track of what ailed their patients. Eg., person goes to witch and laments headache, they treat their headache and make a small doll (called "poppet"), trying to represent them as good as possible, stick a needle in its head and put it up a shelf. When they return next week, the witch takes their poppet and asks about their headache. If it's gone, they remove the needle, otherwise they know they have to treat a rather persistent headache.
