I'll expand on it later but one of the things I can't get over in tsc is how, with nobody thinking too much about it, you can see both the Raven and the Moriyama empires collapse in real time.

#rescue mission from the club #laila was too drunk to walk so Cat picked her up #at which point Jeremy DEMANDED jean do the same because a) hes a lazy bitch and b) any excuse for jean to grab his ass is a win #jean is initially hesitant but Laila is WIPED and frankly he DOES want to play grab ass so he agrees #and thats the story of the first time Jeremy puked all over Jean

if he was still alive I know in my heart that Terry Pratchett would have done a bit about Igors and Igorinas doing gender confirmation surgery by now. going into a lab full of bubbling vials and picking out a penis from a tank the way you pick a lobster. that one, please. you gotta be careful though because they'll really try to upsell you into getting two or three installed. people going to the clinic as pairs and just having parts swapped out for a discounted rate. maybe you actually just trade brains, that's even easier. Igorth have already been doing that thurgery for thenturieth.

knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.

knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.

Mont Saint-Michel, France by akcfoto

I may be (and hope I am) wrong, but the vibe I'm getting is that that entire ecological niche in the animation biome was the first thing to get sprayed with the budget-cut weedkiller. They don't want to pay the writers, they don't want to hire the animators, the showrunners are locking these pitches up in Svalbard where they can't get canceled for a tax break, and the idea of a release schedule rather than dumping a whole season at once seems to be genuinely inciting homicidal intent somewhere in the c suite.

Are there any heirs apparent or new entries to the cluster of beloved-by-tumblr plot-driven Children's cartoons (SU, GF, Amphibia, TOH, ATLA, Infinity Train, etc.) or are in something of a dry period for that kind of thing at the moment?

The Monster Manual but it's blatantly written by the monsters

[aledethanlast]

why is it that 90% of criticism of the song of achilles just boils down to not accepting the conventions of romance as a genre and wanting it to simply be a different book than what it is? because seriously if you can’t get with the fact that the song of achilles is a queer romance story first and a retelling of the iliad second you’re never gonna make a criticism of it that’s interesting to me. if i wanted to read a book that was accurate to the source material then i would just read the iliad. if i wanted to read a queer romance unfolding on the backdrop of a mythical war i would read the song of achilles. if you dont understand the difference between those two things then your beef with that book is just a waste of time to me

Andrew, upon returning to the tower after Riko's death: ... Where the fuck is my candy?

Neil and Kevin: Babe the entire dorm is wrecked.

Andrew: I can see that. But I do not see my candy.

jean moreau is stronger than me bc if KEVIN DAY leaned in and whispered to ask if I could teach him my native languge when he's not watching, it could be our secret, I WOULD'VE FOLDED

Hey just to make sure everyone knows that Barkbark von Barkenstein is the fandom stand-in right.

Like idk how much she was thinking about it but way back when the books were new the joke was that the fandom was six people and a cardboard dog. The dog is us. We are all Barkbark von Barkenstein.

I don’t know if you all realize how often I think about @02511213942 ‘s art and specifically the “Aaron and Neil were friends first” lol. Neil brought snacks for the study session

(I do know there’s a fic about the topic out there as well but I.. don’t read fic much so 025’s was my intro the au train of thought and I fell in love with it. Andrew’s throwback memory is their art from the above linked post and the whole thing is worth seeing again even if you’ve already seen it 😂💕)

Anyway Aaron, new counterargument: what if Neil brought Andrew a little treat tho
