Id like to propose we invent a paper document u can have where it states that youve had a prescription for so many years, that u can just have it. Walk into any pharmacy. 200 miles from home. Nobody has ever heard of you. Show paper. Get prescription. For free. A prescription diploma. You put in so many years on this prescription, you graduate from having to ask for it. Life could be so perfect.

The curse of modern fandom is that it has allowed fans to get even closer to artists, but they won't view the artists as people.

Human limits, human mistakes, human feelings, human needs, are never ascribed to artists, and when other fans rightfully point out, "hey, humans are making this, maybe don't harass them or demand they cater to your personal tastes," it gets shut down under, "uh, people who make popular mainstream things are automatically Public Figures who are also probably rich, so eat the rich and destroy artists over every perceived minor fault. <3"

Even though there's, y'know, a really big strike currently going on because those artists are very much not rich or influential or in control of the bullshit.

What does the "banana republic is a fucked up name for a store" post you reblogged mean? I'm afraid of looking dumb.

The term "banana republic" was originally coined to describe countries in Central and South America (mainly Honduras and Guatemala) whose economies were rendered dependent on the production and export of bananas (among other agricultural goods, but mainly bananas) by American fruit corporations leveraging the power of the U.S. government, the U.S. military and the CIA.

Throughout most of the of the 20th century, American corporations such as United Fruit, Cuyamel, and the Standard Fruit Company owned large portions of these countries' lands, to the point that in some cases they controlled their railway, road, and port infrastructure, and they engaged in a variety of imperialist actions to lower production costs, such as violence against labor activists and anti wage reform lobbying.

The pinnacle of this phenomenon was the 1954 Guatemalan coup, when United Fruit convinced the goverment of US president Dwight D. Eisenhower that the elected president of Guatemala, Jacobo Árbenz (who had expropriated some of the company's unused land and given it to Guatemalan peasants) was secretly working with the Soviet Union, resulting in a CIA coup which deposed the Árbenz government and replaced it with a thirty-year right-wing military dictatorship which effectively acted as a puppet government to protect the interests of United Fruit and the U.S. government.

Nowadays the term has broadened to refer to any small, economically unstable country with an economy which has been rendered dependent on the export of a particular natural resource due to economic exploitation by a more powerful country.

Best Friends

The Ace Omens discord put together prompts for aro week. This is my fic for the first one, "Best Friends".

“Why did you do that?” Aziraphale asked as they walked away from the restaurant together.

“Why’d I do what?”

“Get the bill. It was my turn to pay.”

“Oh,” Crowley said. “Was it? I must’ve forgotten.”

“You never forget anything,” Aziraphale said, but his tone was no longer confused. It was understanding.

~

“Why did you do that?” Crowley blurted out, then wished he hadn’t. It wasn’t too late for Aziraphale to throw him right back into the line of fire, after all.

“Why-” Aziraphale seemed perplexed for a moment. “Well. I am an angel. I can’t exactly let any fool get himself shot unnecessarily.”

“It’s a war, angel,” Crowley said, with less sarcasm than he had tried for.

“Oh is it?” Aziraphale replied, and his tone was positively dripping with the sarcasm Crowley’s had lacked. “I hadn’t noticed. Come here, you’re bleeding.”

“Only a little,” Crowley said, but he obliged.

~

“Why did you do that?” Aziraphale demanded, his eyes sparkling with suppressed mirth.

“Chaos,” Crowley answered. “Obviously.”

“Oh yes, chaos,” Aziraphale agreed. “That’s why you did it in front of the children who desperately needed some amusement.”

“Yep,” Crowley said. “Corrupting the youth.”

“Giving them a laugh, more like.”

“Mhm,” Crowley agreed, but it wasn’t the children’s laughing faces he was looking at. It was the sparkle in Aziraphale’s eyes.

~

“Why did you do that?” Crowley asked, baffled.

“Do what?”

“Make the text on that menu so much bigger.”

“Oh, that.” Aziraphale laughed, a bit awkwardly. “The design was all wrong. The text was too small for the card.”

From his brief stint in graphic design, Crowley was fairly sure the text had been a perfectly approved size for the card. But still, the change had made it so much easier for him to read that it really wasn’t worth arguing.

~

“Why- why did you do that?” Aziraphale asked blearily.

“Put away your books?”

“Yes.” Aziraphale yawned. “You think my organization is fussy.”

“And so it is,” Crowley agreed.

“Well then?”

Crowley shrugged. “Those kids earlier messed it all up. Couldn’t let that slide.”

“You like chaos.”

“Yes, well.” Crowley peered at the books. “You like order. That’s enough.”

“Enough to fix the books?”

“Mhm. And-”

“And?”

“And you’re my best friend.” Crowley turned his gaze down to Aziraphale’s softly smiling face. “Best friends deserve their books organized, angel.”

I never thought I'd say this but here it is!!

The long lost Gravity Falls "Next Time On," reel has FINALLY been found!

This right here is what made this show happen and the reason why every new Disney cartoon also has a next time on reel. GF's last big lost media hunt is over!

Alex Hirsch said that he was okay if this ever was to leak. So, if this goes down, blame Disney!!

#we finish each other's #sandwhiches #gravity falls #cool art style! #also looks like they predated that #joke from frozen

I need you all to please consider Jack warming up to Phantom because "turns out he just doesn't have a proper father figure!"

so imagine if Dan escaped and Danny had to fight him again, but this time the general population of Amity Park saw, and clockwork didn't rewind anything

and yeah this is absolutely nothing new to this phandom but CONSIDER

what would literally everyone, ghost and human, think about this ghost who has the same logo as Danny telling him he's gonna become just like him one day and has a whole bunch of the same powers and they kinda look alike?

I guaran-goddamn-tee it they wouldn't be thinking 'oh that's evil Phantom from the future'

they'd be thinking 'oh shit Phantom's dad is a real asshole'

#danny phantom
