#also so quotable

[thepenultimateword]

I meant to post this when I had my annual watch of Over the Garden Wall in October, but then I never did because I think I partly forgot and partly was worried about being annoying. But y’know I still love this show and want to share it, so here you have it.

My favorite Over the Garden Wall moments (at least all the ones I could find in gif form):

#i had one more with Quincy Endicott #but tumblr wouldn't let me post it #because mobile has a picture limit #over the garden wall #no writing #best show #it's all so out of pocket #and i love it #and yet this show is so deep #and it means so much to me #also so quotable #i love how it is so silly one moment #and so horrifying the next

snapcube is always the worst of my hyperfixations because it fundamentally changes my vocabulary and I have to send everyone I talk to YouTube clips

for the past week everytime I walk up the stairs I fucking hear “hello everybody my name is markiplier and I am struggling to get up this cliff.” that one isn’t even a popular reference there is just. a certain way it is said that sticks in my brain

every time I have typed “HATSUNE MIKU?” for the past year I do it in the tone of storm’s horrified voice in my head. I see Miku with a gun.

same thing with “something just happened” the energy. the vibes. alone in the oval office. someone is dead and you can Feel It, Mr. President.

but alas. no one knows what the fuck I am talking about

#there are many more but #it has caused problems #snapcube has a specific tone that is hard to replicate over text #but they are so quotable #I only talked abt the dubs but like. the regular videos also invade my brain #possessed lore #snapcube

Sorry not sorry that I need this quote on as many pieces of merch as possible.

Smaller font great for a subtle nod on a vehicle or a big bold one on a water bottle like this 😍

Semi-baked thought but recently I have read 3 different professionally published gay romances that were...fine...some more satisfying than others, but what stuck out to me was the extent to which the characterization and dialogue lacked surprises. A bi guy in an M/M romance recommendation thread on reddit pointed out the extent to which published romances gravitate toward a particular flavor of feminine man paired with a particular flavor of masculine man and it's hard not to keep seeing once it's pointed out. In each of the three books the more 'masculine' guy was bisexual. I love bisexuals (it's self-love), I love characters with differing relationships to their gender, but I'm also fighting down thoughts of a drinking game.

It's not the exact same flavor as the original Fandom Ghost but it is a Ghost. [And specific enough that it is a Ghost, not an archetype.]

Perhaps the bigger lacking-surprises issue is a craft one where everyone just Says What They Mean too often, and in rather bland ways. I don't mind the occasional revelation of Truth from the Heart; I am reading romance! But how you do it matters, points can be won for style; there's a low quotability quotient and less satisfaction because, again, it's romance, we know they're going to communicate these particular ideas, we're here to be charmed and surprised by how they do it. (In parallel to the romances, I'm reading Robin Hobb's character-driven fantasy novels, and one thing I will say for her, the characters' dialogue + narrative is a firehose of surprises in a way that often reads as more truly romantic.)

If this was fanfiction of my Blorbos I would be more easily satisfied, or perhaps the generic-ness would be less noticeable because I'd be backfilling richer details from canon. When it's happening to original characters, it leaves a feeling of dissatisfaction.

There's also a thing where the side characters root for the relationship in rather flat/uninteresting ways; I'm willing to admit some of this is Just Me having a higher angst preference than the target audience, but at the same time I've read older romances (old enough that they're standardly heterosexual) which, for all their myriad other sins, give side characters much richer and more complex emotional affects and roles. And I think some of it is approach/style more than content: if I summarize various side characters, they sound perfectly interesting, but on the page they fall flat because they just Say What They Mean in polite and generic ways. [This a flaw that annoys me in fanfiction too. Once you've read enough, you already know what they're going to say, usually, but you want the way they say it to make some impression. "Say" can be broadly construed to include body language and symbolic action - my kingdom for an extravagant gesture.]

#tl;dr more bisexual bottoms #(no that's too reductive. but also yes please) #also PLEASE make your dialogue more unhinged and quotable #once you spot characters Saying Exactly What They Mean it's a curse you bear for life #this also happened to a pure non-romance fantasy series I enjoy a good deal #knocked it from 4 to 3 stars in my heart :( #Robin Hobb's characters are allergic to full honesty and it's a refreshingly different aggravation #plus it makes their moments of honesty so much more powerful

Top 5 of your fav outsiders quotes lol

hi jay!!! thank you for the ask <3

top 5 outsiders quotes:

You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There's still a lot of good in the world.

Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset.

I listened to his heart pounding through his T-shirt and knew everything was going to be okay now. I had taken the long way around, but I was finally home. To stay.

I knew he would be dead, because Dally Winston wanted to be dead and he always got what he wanted.

But I was still lying and I knew it. I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.

ask me my top 5 anything!

#ask #tuff-ponyboy #jay tag #there's so many quotable moments #but these make me so emo #also these quotes show up so frequently in my outsiders edit sbc they just hit so hard

quotable cards are out of control. i don’t know why this is so freaking funny to me. i’m sure henry james of all people was the only person to say “i’m here for you.”

and can we forget the famed line very specific to victor hugo:

#henry james!! why is that so funny to me lmao #there was also ‘here comes the sun’ attributed to someone who wasn’t even george harrison #the only appearance in google of that line attributed to henry james was these quotable items #idk like ​‘i love you’ -william shakespeare

When you make art, you have to make it as a gift. But the wildest thing about it to me is that the person receiving that gift has to give you a gift in return, the gift of their generous, open attention.

-John Green in his YouTube Video, A Secret About Art

#John Green #nerdfighteria #tatwd movie #this video has so many potent quotables but this one stuck out to me #this applies to all forms of art and I am choosing that to include fanfic #because every single one of my works is a gift and you all giving it your attention is the greatest gift I can receive #so thank you always for your attention 💚 #(kudos and comments are also massively appreciated but just having your attention for a brief moment is so wonderful!!)

[hecksupremechips]

Which Monster high ghoul is ur fav?

Oh man this is a really hard question hnnnghh well I’m gonna narrow it down to the main ghouls just to keep things simple. Clawdeen was my absolute FAVORITE as a kid I was in love with her every time I saw her I was like CLAWDEEEN 😻 and I gotta be real I’d say 80% of the reason was just because she was purple coded lol and I thought her outfit was really cute I still really want those purple boots alskla

But looking at the characters now i thiiiink I’m gonna change my answer to Cleo. I think she’s really funny lol like my favorite mh movie has always been Friday night frights and in that one she literally contributes nothing to the plot she doesn’t even join the skating team she just inserts herself into the fashion montage and just chills the rest of practice. I also think her story in ghouls rule was really good honestly like there’s just a combination of her being pressured by her family and being kinda forced to push away Deuce because her family doesn’t approve of him and I think there’s just an interesting spin on their relationship in that movie cuz they’re like initially this cliche popular kid couple that you’d think is gonna break up because in the beginning there was hints that Deuce and Frankie were gonna be a thing and Cleo was gonna be the evil mean girl but in ghouls rule it’s really funny cuz it’s just shown that Deuce is literally like friends with everyone walking down the hallway saying sup nonstop and Cleo is shown to actually really really love him but she’s scared of her father so it puts strain on the relationship. It’s also interesting how she sells out her fellow monster to make her family look superior but then she has to learn to break away from their shitty customs cuz hey maybe knocking down the people you should be allying with is bad actually. So yeah she’s pretty funny and slays spectacularly but also she’s just pretty cool too 💙💙

As for other ghouls I really love shoutout to Ghoulia shes my fashion inspiration, Abbey I had a big crush on her, Cupid I liiiiike cant even with how insane I am about her design it’s so fucking cute, Twyla cuz autism yay, Lagoona just cuz she’s really nice and has pretty hair, ROCHELLE + ROBECCA + VENUS THE TRANS THROUPLE OF ALL TIME

#ask #monster high #i didnt intend to get so passionate about cleo here but aaaaa what can i say shes iconic #as for male characters i always really loved jackson/holt i just thought they were cool as hell #and heath burns because hes so fucking quotable i love his stupid voice #im also a gil hater literally the worst boyfriend ever lagoona DUMP HIM DUMP HIS ASS

key and peele’s tone over text sketch is the platonic ideal of taking a basic premise to its most logical and simultaneously ridiculous conclusion in this essay i will

#no but really. a PERFECT SKETCH #i could actually write that essay #they take a very basic premise: “isn’t tone over text hard?” and then go deep #and the STINGER #it’s so silly and perfect: turns out the sketch is about two men who can’t do tone at ALL #text OR irl #so good so so good #also: endlessly quotable #(and just because i can’t not say it nobody does comedic rage like keegan N O B O D Y)

[nico-the-overlord]

i need to know your favorite sanders sides quote, or one from each side

Gosh well first that come to mind…

Roman: I am bitterly jittery and not very glittery!

Patton: It isn’t you these thoughts you’re thinking!

Janus: You’re not stuck with a evil snake boy…you’re just stuck with a snek boi (:<

Logan: FALSEHOOD.

Remus: ah, BITCH?

And I can’t think of one for Virgil…perhaps the witching hour quote or “you tried, you failed, let’s go to sleep”? This has been sitting in my box for a while because idk and I know I am def forgetting so many good lines, hope I’m not misquoting off of memory😭

#asks #sanders sides #logan one is obvious #also like the AND THAT IS WHY I SAY IT line #roman I also like the ‘secrets secrets are no fun tell me now or else we’re done!’ #and so many nicknames he gives others like banana-conda #oh and smth abt him being the main course and not the appetizer #he is very quotable #the one for remus is mainly bc of the bloopers #and with thomas+joan joking about him having acrylic nails and such it’s just so silly #I like quoting patton’s singing line #also the great spider threat of 2017 is also funny #another good janus line is the one where he tells thomas that he needs to unlearn that selfishness is a dirty word #I put in the snek like because cmon it’s silly #but that line…the episode in general hit me HARD #anyways I’ll stop rambling knwiwkdj
