ofc my boss has been treated to snippets of info and script as i’ve been working on my panels

he knew dashcon was this weekend

he asked how it went

I gave him an overview

he asked wtf is up with tumblr these days, like, Why is it and What do we do here

I explain the niche culture and intense passion and how it produces insane levels of in-jokes and creativity

I decide I need to give him an example so he can understand how wild we get here

think “oh ofc, I can use dashcon 2 lore!”

explain execution that happened this year

backtrack from that to explain ballpit queen

pause to explain og dashcon and the infamous ballpit

go back, explain how ballpit queen knighted semi-famous youtuber because they killed–

pause to explain duel that killed muppet joker

“like he’s kermit, but he’s the joker? and strange killed him and was knighted for their bravery”

“so this year we voted and we executed robespierre. then napoleon in booty shorts showed up.”

my boss:

me:

my boss: yeah I get what you mean by muppet joker.

me: ????

my boss proceeds to pull out a sketch cover he’d commissioned on a blank lilo and stitch

lilo is harley quinn

stitch is the joker

he then describes ANOTHER sketch cover he has somewhere

he commissioned a my little pony artist to draw one of the ponies. as the joker.

describes how it still follows my little pony universe visual rules, bc the artist insisted on it and he agrees

my gen x straight white male boss might do fucking numbers on tumblr

unfortunately he’s never gonna bother
