“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma

and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND

You guys remember when Vilgax was a freaking tank?

I seriously can't stand what they did with this dude in the later series of Ben 10.

They gave him a sword, shield, and laser eyes... Vilgax doesn't need any of that! He was so awesome that all he ever needed was his fists. Him using a shield in particular really annoys me, HE'S MEANT TO BE INDESTRUCTIBLE!! 😭

The cool thing about this guy was that he was totally unstoppable. None of the aliens could put a scratch on him, that's why it was so scary whenever he showed up, it made you go "Oh, shoot! We're in trouble!" 😱

He's like if Darth Vader, Shredder, and Juggernaut fused into one with the visual of Davy Jones.

He's cold, strong, intimidating, and obsessed with his goal.

But then he later gets clobbered by Diamondhead of all things. And look, I love DH, he's one of my favorites, always been, always will, and I get it that this is an older version and all, but... seeing the character that literally shattered his hands trying to punch Vilgax suddenly demolishing without trouble just feels... lame.

It was fun to wonder HOW Ben would deal with Vilgax. Would he blow him inside his ship? Lock him in another dimension? Explode him after luring him into a sewer?

He had to think to beat Vilgax, or rely on something completely overpowered like Way Big.

Vilgax was a hard mode enemy that got reduced to some mid-boss that you could now take down with one of your original selectable characters, all because they decided to take away everything that was badass about him.

I miss my unstoppable squid... 😢

Clark telling someone on the Daily Planet who only knows him vaguely as a coworker that, sorry, he really cant take any of that Wayne Ent job off him. Why? Well he sure would like to be of help but journalistic integrity and all. Oh you don't know? Wayne is one of his best friends. No for real. No really! Like probably slot 5 of his top 5 favorite people in the world if he's ranking. (No, Lois isn't first. His mom is first. Which Lois knows but don't like say that I said that.) Right Wayne! No yeah for real love the idiot. You haven't seen him come around? Yeah and he always calls Clark the wrong name as a joke because we're friends. Dude I'm not lying to get out of this! Why would I lie? Ok yeah it is an annoying assignment...

Hang on.

Clark texts someone on his phone. Waits a beat. Gets a text back. Calls someone. It's ringing. It picks up.

"You're on speaker, B."

"Sorry just had to get somewhere quieter-" It is so loud in the background Wayne is nearly screaming into the phone. "Oh yeah Clark was with me all last week. Whatever you saw was someone else. In fact, he saved my life up there. I broke part of my spine on a fall and was partially paralyzed instantly, and he had to carry me over his shoulder. But then after five hours of carrying me, his adrenaline gave out, and so did his legs. So we're both on the ground in a pile right near the ledge, and we start sliding that direction, and I think to myself -I distinctly remember- I think to myself that if we're going to die, at least I get to die looking at intrepid reporter Clark Kent, who is waaay more ripped than he looks with a shirt on and has the most soulful blue eyes. And then we were saved or something because he's such a genius that he rewired his phone and rigged it to get a signal even in the middle of nowhere on the fly and called for a helicopter. Or something like that. I don't know. But yeah thats why Clark's been gone, and if you thought you saw him, you saw someone else. I mean that haircut is everywhere. Did you know he set that trend? Anyway I gotta go."

The line goes dead. Clark and the coworker look blankly at each other for a moment.

".....You were here all last week."

"Sorry. I didn't text him why I needed him to say he knows me, so I think he just.... tried to cover all the bases."

(Bruce is in several layers of method acting ofc but Jimmy, Hal, Ollie, Dinah, Kara, and several more all gleefully corroborate it immediately when given the opportunity and even yes-and onto it, and now Clark's journalistic integrity is going towards reminding his coworker that he was here last week I promise they're all doing bits )

a fic where Aoko is convinced that Shinichi is KID because ‘It makes sense Kaito, he looks like your doppelgänger and KID doesn’t need a mask when he pretends to be you. It’s because KID is your cousin!’

sapphic shampoo is like. ok. i know that internalized queerphobia is a leading theme in r/2 so shampoo calling akane a pervert for loving girltype ranma isnt like DEFINITIVE proof that she couldn't be wlw But like. literally what is the interest in making her gay ToT how does her story get more interesting how does anyone's story get more interesting how does that embellish the themes. as the story stands, shampoo is one of many representations of societal hostility to queer people, to ranma's transness and akane's bisexuality, so like. ok i guess if youre a shampoo diehard and you want her to be gay thats fine but in a story where queerness is so critical and there are so many characters whose queerness is critical to understanding them and is evident in nearly everything they do, what. is the reason. for saying shampoo is gay

Watching the new tasting history and very charmed by the fact that the whole Michelin Star system apparently started out as, like, a galaxy-brain marketing campaign for the concept of road trips.

public libraries are so sick. there are five books I want to read and they're all relatively new so they're only available in hardback which is so expensive but it just cost me $0 to place holds on them. five books for zero dollars. it requires nothing but clicking a button and then going to the library to pick them up when they're ready. zero dollars. that's crazy

The fun thing about the knights and knaves puzzle is that no matter what goofy variant you come up with, not only has it already been considered, some maniac has worked out the optimal solution. What if there's a third guard who lies or tells the truth at random? It's been done. What if the guards will only answer yes/no questions, and also for some reason they understand your language but refuse to speak it, and you don't know which of the two words they may respond with means "yes" and which means "no"? Literal thesis papers have been written on that one. Logicians are absolute freaks for these guys.

Im a firm believer that if Midoriya never got OFA he'd have never gotten into UA. (look at 14 yo him he was scrawny as heck until working out). or any other hero School. he would have went on with his life in high school being mostly miserable. somewhere in his 20s he would have become a somewhat mediocre vigilante. he'd either died gotten himself arrested or beefed the fuck up sicko style and done some good. Bc Midoriya is certifiably of his fucking rocker. Hes got the pain tolerance of a god, no self preservation and the NEED to help people he sees in danger.

That only really leads him down 2 roads. Getting into a hero school or doing hero work anyway.

Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:

Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)

Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)

Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.

But in Japanese it scans as:

Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)

Psycho (short for psychic)

Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.

#ya im weeb enough i never blinked at the title but it's comically bad. #Npc Esper 100 my beloved
