You know, thinking logically, there's a good reason why Casper is so gullible and easily falls for MC's trolling with scams.
It's not that he's an idiot, it's literally the first time he has to deal with someone who can blatantly lie to his face. He never talked to a mortal before, his social circle consists entirely of other reapers, and none of them are able to lie. Plus he has very limited life experience because he has always been too busy with his job.
And that's probably also the reason why he didn't try to prove that he's an actual grim reaper for the first few days and was just expecting for MC to take his word for it. Because it was always enough before.

i know we all love the idea of Joel in a corset
however... consider... Joel in stays
(found the images from google and wikipedia respectively, the first came up if you search 'brown stays', the second is on the wiki article for the history of corsets)
these are (iirc) kinda pre-corsets corests? they were used for the same things; supporting breasts, heloing posture, back support etc and may be laced either at the front or the back but often connect over the shoulders... like a vest... like Joel skin... yeah thats all my reasoning basically... also im a nerd
i especially like the ones laced in the front as they especially look like Joel's skin's vest
also im no expert on historical clothing, i just happen to watch alot of videos by people who are and have random knowledge on it - if i got anything wrong or youd like to add anything, feel free to add or correct me on this!

I dont like the headcannon of davey being jewish.
Why? I am glad you asked!
Now listen dont get me wrong here!
Representation is so important especially for religions because in that department even the most popular ones r being bullied these days and then that religion isnt just any but the most hated one in history. The religion that was blamed for practically anything bad that has happened in the last 500-1000 years. In ww|| children didn’t even know this WAS a religion. In Germany they were taught that the word “jew” stood for a monster, like the wird rabbit stands for an animal. Idk if this makes sense but they LITTERALLY didn’t know any better which i personally find makes it worse. The ppl KNEW that they were wrong, and that they couldn’t convince poursouled children of anything unless they made up lies. The thing those children hated was justified. Anyone would hate a monster that only brings evil upon us. But they conected it to a name that describes something else.(the movie jojo rabit brings this accross extremely well and truthfull! It’s available on netflix and i think on prime!) And thats the problem. They knew they were wrong but they needed someone to blame for their own failures and problems. ANd WhO bEtTeR tHaN tHe OnEs ThAt HaVe BeeN aT bLamE fOr ThE pAsT 700 YeaRs???
This began with the germanians spreading Christianity around Europe when jews were still a majority. It was generally a seen as a sin to get along with a Christian, and as we all know in the middle age there have been some babaric events towarts (but also by) religious ppl.
In thirteen-sixty-something the thing got to a whole new level when in (i think it was italy but idk) a fountain was moisted with bacteria and brought back black plague for a lot of people, which obviously got word all around the world quickly. And with that obviously also rumours. The thing is that those rumors were LOADED.
Thats how the hatred toward jews specifically began. People thought they were witches that poisoned their food causing them all to get sick.
(Sry i didnt mean for this to turn into a history lesson hahaha)
So yeah. Representation is so important and I totally stand behind that!
That being said however i genuinely don’t like it with Davey and here’s why:
Im have no problem with the headcannon itself and obv not with people having thah headcannon. What bucks me is how that came to be.
It just feels sooo cliche taking the one character named david jacobs and saying he’s jewish.
I mean
Seriously
David jacobs
David. Jacobs.
David and jacob (lemme guess his sisters name is sarah hAHa- oh wait-)
Like it might be just me but that’s loaded with stereotype.
This might sound weird and/or mean but i genuinely get the feeling, the only reason ppl hc him as jewish is his name.
On top of that theres the fact that i generally just feel like its forced at this point. Again. I stand for representation with everything in me. but people just decided (rather than felt/knew) they needed to represent jewish folks and picked out ONE (1) (s i n g u l a r) character (LITTERALLY NAMED DAVID JACOBS!! Idk if u can tell but im getting rly worked up abt this)and said his family is jewish.
(Then if course theres the fact that i cant deal with the fact that he would have been killed at least in wa|| if not earlier due to being an non-arian jew but he prolly would be killed in one of the worldwars anyway so thats not much of an argument lol)
THATS IT! TYSM if u read this completely!
I also wanna take the opportunity to compell everyone to support palestina!!!!! I’ll put some links down below!
As a Christian i am lucky enough to not be bothered with shit by people i cant deal with but not everyone has that! So here’s just a gerneral reminder to educate and support people of any minority!!!
I will put some links so u can read up about the history of discrimination towards religion and jews!⬇️⬇️
1 Wikipedia article generally summarising antisemit!sm
2 definition
3 antisemit!sm+ history of rivalry between Christianity & Judaism
4 on discrimination and hate/ harassment towards religions in school and workplaces
5 discrimination WITHIN religion
6 some facts
7 using religion as an excuse to BE descriminating
8 read about judaism as a religion, rules and beliefs

Hi! Sorry if you’ve answered this before, but why do you think 2012 and Rise seem to be so reluctant to make references to 2003? Admittedly, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve rewatched 2012, but I do remember noticing it when I was watching it. I’ve only just started watching Rise, but in the episode “Pizza Pit,” Donnie’s map has pictures of many iterations of the Turtles, including the 1987 and the 2012. 2003 always seems to be left out, and since it’s my favorite version, I can’t seem to figure out why. D:
It’s got something to do with the rights, as far as I’m aware. Nickelodeon has bought the TMNT franchise and has the rights to make references to 1987, but I think 4kids is still under a different company so Nick technically doesn’t have the rights to 2003.
This also seems to be the reason that none of the original voice actors for 1987 were able to reprise their roles in the movie “Turtles Forever.”

achilles and patroclus are wolfstar this, achilles and patroclus and jegulus that, but have you considered that achilles and patroclus are actually dorlene?
marlene is patroclus, and dorcas is achilles. after patroclus dies, achilles (dorcas) goes out on the battlefield and wants to seek vengeance for his lover, patroclus (marlene)?
'the man I loved beyond all other comrades, loved as my own life' <- literally dorcas about marlene when they accepted they fell in love with her. 'loved as my own life' and then they gave their life to avenge their lover!!!
(in the climax of the story, paris (hector's brother) fired a poisoned arrow straight to achilles’ heel / weak spot and dorcas died trying to get their justice for marlene)

Started watching the Ninjago shorts. Only seen the first one, but it was an oldie from like the first season. Nya is fighting off some skeletons and Jay hears the gong and uses Spinjitzu to reach the house (which, honestly isn’t that far away.)
I miss the days when the ninjas used their Spinjitzu for almost anything. Even things they really, didn’t need to use it for. Now they just, forget they have powers or something? Idk.
Not bashing on the new seasons, I still think they’re pretty good. Just wish they used their powers more. Like, I haven’t seen them use airjitzu once in the newer seasons. Did they just forget? Am I missing a reason for them not using it? Cause I do forget things frequently. Like, there have been a couple times where I’m yelling at the screen, saying “USE THIS POWER!!” And the ninja are just like, “Well, I guess there’s nothing we can do.”
I also think it’s pretty funny that Jay has suggested using powers, and they just don’t do it? Jay included? Why write the suggestion in if it’s not even gonna be used!?!?
I’d give an example, but I can’t remember the exact details and I’m too lazy to search. I’m pretty sure it was in Sons of Garmadon though.
Like, I understand some of their powers take a bit to charge, or are risky. Like the Tornado of Creation, and I believe Cole is still getting used to his super strength after being a ghost. Or there are limitations, like when there is a mental block or they’ve been drained or vengestone.
I can understand wanting to not make your characters too OP, but nerfing their powers is not the way to get around it. I feel a good amount of their bad guys are pretty equal to them in power anyway, so taking their powers away, that give them advantages, is just dumb. Especially when you have them going through almost a whole season or more to learn them, just for them to not turn up again.
I love Ninjago, but the writing does get pretty hit or miss sometimes, lol.
Still love the show, just felt like ranting a bit. And I think it’d still be pretty funny if they used Spinjitzu to just like, move two feet or go the the store. 😂
