how I imagine an average rainy day went when the touden siblings were little:

laios, who is on his thirty fifth activity of the day because he did not have Outside Time: okay falin, I’m going to draw a monster for each of us and then we’ll fight them. what do you want yours to have.

falin, who has not learned voice regulation yet: I WANT. MANDIBLES!!!!!!!!!!

It would be so funny if someone (besides Oda) drew every single named one piece character one day.

So funny…..

I’m not sure if this is permitted in other countries, but here in the US, advertisers are allowed to use any kind of malignant psychology they want in their ads so long as those ads fit within the allotted time-frame.

Back in high school, my class watched a video on how a certain Coca-Cola advertisement was made. You may have seen it, but for those who haven’t: The ad featured a cinematic montage of a crowded beach with smiling thin white people enjoying their leisure time and drinking Coca-Cola out of a common plastic bottle.

The big takeaway from this video was that the ad wasn’t actually advertising Coca-Cola. It was advertising a lifestyle. By associating Coca-Cola with a desirable lifestyle (as well as qualities associated with desirability) it plants the association of “Coca-Cola” with “happiness” in people’s subconscious minds.

This becomes clear when you consider who the ad was meant for. The target audience wasn’t the smiling thin white people that the ad featured, but instead it was people who wanted to be smiling thin white people. This was an ad for the Gen X mom of three kids who worked full-time, who relied on shelf-stable foods to keep everyone fed, and whose nervous system was chronically fried from the stress of never having adequate time for herself.

If she was at the grocery store, and saw the very same bottle of Coca-Cola featured in that ad, she’d be far more likely to pick it up than she was before watching it. If she didn’t anticipate finding relief for her stress, then she could at least drink up the idea of it.

Of course, the thing about ads is that they stop working. Eventually, people’s minds grow wise to the fact buying a certain product doesn’t actually grant them the lifestyle associated with them.

But there’s a lot of other tricks ads employ beyond this.

The reason why Geico is the first company you consider when thinking about buying car insurance is because of the calm, consistent nature of their ads and the fact they’re ubiquitous enough to be familiar. Their mascot forms a kind of parasocial rapport with the audience, so Geico already feels familiar to you by the time you’re looking to buy insurance.

Cereal brands use cartoon-character-like mascots to make their product memorable to kids who can’t read. The reason why so many cereal mascots exhibit such frenetic, possessive behavior is to teach kids to emulate that behavior to compel parents into buying them the cereal, especially if they saw that behavior rewarded in the ad (with the cereal).

You only really see ads for apps on an app-based devices for a reason.

Then there are the ads that don’t look like ads, but look like people on TikTok sharing a new secret product with their audience using the only communication format we regularly trust: word-of-mouth.

And let’s not forget the sheer magnitude of ads that exist. I can’t go outside without seeing them. I can’t watch videos online without exposing myself to ads that wants to skewer my emotions within 10 seconds.

There’s no reprieve from it unless I wall myself off from our culture entirely.

Ads are parasites to both culture and to cognition, and they must be regulated.

it’s so gut-wrenching to remember that maul was 22 when he got cut in half. twenty-two and so brash and impatient and naïve and he doesn’t even register how much has been taken from him yet. twenty-two when he went to lotho minor. twenty-two and experiencing pain beyond what anything should be able to survive; pain so great death would genuinely have been a mercy. twenty-two and rotting and your only coherent thought is stay alive. you don’t realize how fucking young that is till you’re past it. and i’m not even that far past it!! but god like. this dude was just beginning as a person, and then he died; he died the bad death that means you lose your place in the world but not your ability to understand the loss. just. goddamn, man.

falin is already thin like. people enjoy drawing her as fat because it's so rare to see a large-breasted woman in manga with realistic proportions to support that amount of Boob (which is totally fair btw, fat falin headcanons rock) but in the original manga she is FAR from fat, so we're already getting the bare minimum in terms of body type representation among the "tallmen" characters. but that still wasn't good enough for trigger, they had to ruin one of the most iconic panels in the manga by making her look anorexic. her ribcage looks like it's struggling to free itself from her skin lol

#chatter #btw i'm not trying to be a dick to people with eds i'm literally using my own body type when i was anorexic as a point of comparison here. #she looks straight up unhealthy #dungeon meshi spoilers

Tell us the sex stone joke

so this joke requires the light setup of, as the Resident Geologist, on any given hike my dad will have been subjected to a light barrage of Hey What's This Rock I Just Picked Up Off The Trail, answers ranging from "that's clearly serpentinite, the state rock of California—note the distinctive gray-green color and soapy texture" to "that's probably a local mudstone" to "that is a piece of concrete" to "that is tanbark."

the joke typically runs as follows:

you, presenting an interesting pebble for identification: hey, what's this rock i just picked up off the trail? my dad, after a few seconds of thoughtful examination: ah, interesting. what you have there is what's known as a "sex stone." you, slightly shocked by the apparent erotic provenance of what you thought was a random rock: oh! okay. i see. thanks. my dad, slyly: would you like to know why they call it that? you: um. yes? my dad: BECAUSE IT'S JUST A FUCKING ROCK.

#chatter #asks #my delight when i achieved an age at which my dad could finally tell me this joke in its uncensored form was notable i have to admit #imagine being the Designated Rock Identifier in a family with curious and scientifically-minded youthes and having this joke in pocket #and knowing if you say the fuck word to them you will immediately be executed by all of your in-laws. so tragic.
