#'haha people die'

[waterberry-strawmelon]

Henry Oak saying “I’m a polyamorous white guy, of course I know Dungeons and Dragons” proves yet again that Will Campos is the funniest person on this fucking podcast

#dungeons and daddies #dungeons and dads #dndads #will campos #henry oak #i could add more tags but whatever. I’m fucking DYING I literally started cackling in the middle of the sidewalk #I WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO SCREAM WITH ABOUT THIS!!!!!!! #(Also unfortunately I’m reminded yet again that season 1 is just inherently funnier and more entertaining than season 2. #I get a lot of people are die-hard for season 2 but I just can’t get through it—it’s like slogging through a tar pit most episodes #and I think that’s cuz for me personally the dnd podcast has to be funny first and emotional second #and season 2 feels like the reverse #Like. The season 1 pc’s were BUILT to be funny #But the season 2 pc’s were built to expand on the season 1 narrative. See the difference? #ANYWAYS this bonus episode reminds me I’ll always have season 1 :’D #And the bonus content #And whatever they do after season 2 (assuming it gets better haha!) #mine #just some thoughts

I have not been normal about nerdy prudes must die since it came out so it seems its time for me to write my analysis of 'the summoning'.

I will put a cut down here because holy shit i did not think i was this normal about them this is long. also spoilers for nerdy prudes must die!

Now the summoning is what I would consider the climax of the show.* The scene answers the big questions of the show. Not by just stating the answer like the mayor does, it shows us. it also shows us the oh so beloved oh moment of Steph knowing she loves Peter.

The scene also uses some form of chekov's gun multiple times.

We've been told that the school was built at what used to be a black altar. this scene shows what such a black altar allows someone to do. especially in combination with the book.

A literal chekov's gun, the gun Grace stole and then Steph got is heavily implied to be used. (finally)

As i've stated before the love situation. We knew Steph and Peter had something going for them but this only confirms it.

THE PHONE! Steph thinks her phone is the thing she cherishes most, which is not a big stretch, we've seen her be willing to suffer injury to protect her phone. (a lovely little detail)

they setup Grace using the book against dirty dudes.

I may be missing something whoops but yeah,

now the scène itself has a lovely buildup. First the three are in very low energy summoning the lords in black. The frightened energy is just seeping out of them, you know this is their last resort. Then the lords in black appear, from a pure darkness, with a high energy slightly discordant song (the piano and the guitar clash a slight bit). This stands in contrast with the slow piano music under the teens throughout the scene. Within this song the lords in black seem unsurprised by the situation, they seem elated even. They also clearly state they are not forces of good at most they can be considered gray ("us spawn of the Black and White") however the other pieces of lyrics are very much against that assumption.

Let's look at some of the dialogue a bit more closely why not? I wont be looking at all of the dialogue because thats a bit too insane even for me.

"Out of the depths of Hell and back" Us spawn of the Black and White" "Cover our souls with robes of black" "And take up the arms of night"

This seems to me even like they chose to be in the black, they are from hell they're from the night.

"Nibbleline wants his sacrifice And Wiggly wants his wrath We dance around the pentagram And take all our kingdoms back"

The previous shows intent: sacrifice, wrath, getting what they deserve.

"You summon us once you summon us twice, You gamble it on a roll of the dice"

Now this is what predicts Grace's dirty dudes must die. it also seems to imply that Steph's father among others used the book foolishly, the chance of victory seemed to outweigh the risks.

"The devil has won it can't be undone The book has all but closed on your life"

Shows that the lords know the teens are in no position to bargain. They know theyre above them.

Wiggly: Don't be so formal, Stephie. We're all paly-wals here. I mean, look at us. We even hold court in your own tongue and form. Go Nighthawks! (Lords in Black laughing) Pokey: Our true forms would melt your minds. WIggly: Don't frighten them, Pokey, you nasty boy.

This is what we'll see more in this scene wiggly is the medium between the will of the lords in black and the teens. An interesting detail. This also seems to be Wiggly trying to make the teens be less guarded. THeyre showing some sort of "goodwill", like "hey we could easily kill you but we're throwing you a rock let's see what can happen.". Additionally, this also shows them being more powerful than the teens again.

"The Lords in Black will help you yes You stupid silly girl Why help you with the Jagerman When we can help the world!"

Once again a show of power, why even ask for help they're already there just show them what you can give them. They have got all the time for anything, theyre more powerfull than just stopping that jagerman.

"Steph: What about a bargain? We'll give you whatever you want. Just get rid of Jagerman!"

A show that the teens have no other choice. THe fact they have heard the lords in black say theyre from hell doesn't matter anymore. They're at a low point.

"Whatever we want we want we want Whatever we want we get Whatever you want you want you want Forever in our debt"

no other way to say this other than: "you fucked up kids"

Wiggly: "Oh, you'll hardly miss it. We just want what you cherish most."

hmmm understatements are fun. I love these paradoxical statements.

Wiggly: One of you must give up the thing you treasure above all else. Pokey: Do it, or die!

Once again a lovely power statement, though that's not what I found interesting. The interesting part about this is that they only ask for ONE of them fo give up what they cherish most. They could ask for way more, they've made that clear. So why ask for only one thing?

"We don't give a shit about your phone"

This is the one moment I feel like the lords in black loose their composure. My hypothesis? they don't like people lying to themselves when something is very clear.

"The Lords in Black the Lords in Black call us"

The chorus sing the lords in black call us, WHO ARE THE CHORUS I NEED TO KNOW.

"Out of the depths of hell and back Us spawn of the black and white Cover our souls with robes of black And take up the arms of night You summon us once you summon us twice You gamble it on a roll of the dice La la la la la la la la la la The devil has won it can't be undone The book has all but closed on your life"

JUSt one thing: A lovely circular closure to the scene.

OKAY thats the dialogue wooooo (theres more to be said about it probably but also I just My brain want to get to the next part.)

Okay Okay okay okay now for the fun part!

The lovely staging and costume and its so wonderfull.

So in the above image we can see the lords in black as well as the teens. As i've stated before the lords in black like to make a show in power and the dynamics are very much powerless vs. allpowerfull.

Now what the positioning on the stage does is show this contrast as well. The lords in black are all over the stage standing, moving, dancing. High energy high standing. This while the teens are sitting on the floor, all together, they're as small as they can be in this setting. This shows how little power they have at this point.

The lighting as well as the costumes adds a lot as well:

See the teens here? no special lighting aside from the effects of the lords. This is in incredible contrast with the lords. colourful and bright. This is similarly the case with their costumes, the teens all have quite plain clothes, nothing special for a costume definitely, we do have the more unique clothing to define each character** but that falls away once you look at the lords:

Wiggly: bright green light (so much fun green isnt used in stage lighting often i am in love), Green clothing, a suit with glossy pants a crown and of course the wiggly doll in the back.

Nibbly: SO PINk, but also fleshy pink somehow. the lighting isnt as obvious but it is still pink. here the sparkes return. The giant lolly. just the giant lolly.

Blinky: Interesting choice to have the face as obscured as it is. once again i cant say the lighting is very obvious but it is there. The purple orange colour contrast makes them stand out. when in comparison to the others his costume isnt as showy.

Tinky: HOLY SHIT THE EYESHADOW. which isnt visible because.... yes the lighting! yellow lighting! the outfit isn't as sparkly but because it is the brightest outfit of them all I doubt that would have been neccesary. It keeps the balance. I am also Biassed I love this getup.

Pokey: once again: LIGHTING! blue! but also, Pokey I feel is the least obvious lord in black in the scene, the positioning on the side of the stage across from Tinky the yellow and blue contrast how fun. especially as Wiggly (green) is in the middle. just so good.

I just wanted to add some more because look at how wiggly is so much higher in this scene, he needs to look down on the teens, but doesn't do that often, not even bothered to look at them wow. Also quick note wiggly seems the most bothered by the summoning, wonder why.

And whenever all of the lords are singing with their discordant choreography, the lighting goes all disco and far brighter. A great detail to show they're individuals but are similar. see how the light is not green here? yeah that happens whenever all of the lords are speaking.

All in all I think Nerdy prudes must die is now in my top three favourite starkid shows. and I will be using the lords in black as inspiration in the play I'm in currently as well because this is exactly the type of thing we were looking for. and also I am not going to be able to think about anything but this show for ages.

I highly encourage anyone to give their opinions or whatever they noticed because I need it I would love to hear them. GO NIGHTHAWKS!

1* Now this comes at a relatively late time in the (already very long) show. At the 2 hour point we've been following our dear cast for around 4/5ths of the show. Now keep in mind this is doesn't matter much, but I think it's interesting that they chose to have the climax at this point. The play being as long as it is means they had to have been very confident in their ability to keep the viewers attention and especially with the slow buildup.

2** OH MY GOODNESS I JUST REALISED HOW WELL STEPH AND PETER's PALLETTES WORK TOGETHER. like theyre both earth tones. the green and brown fit together so well, and then you also have the patterns, different but still similar enough to not clash.

Hey so I have to inform you all because I am morally and legally obligated to inform people about this movie -

I have told you before that Clue (1985) was available on Amazon Prime and today I have even better news. I don't know when it was added BUT ! it's FREE TO WATCH (with ads) ON YOUTUBE !

Also it's my favorite movie (this doesn't matter I just have to say it).

Also also just because I found this out five minutes ago it was released on Dec 13, 1985. Which was a Friday. A movie about a board game about murder released on Friday the 13th ? Truly a move of all time.

EDIT: Someone wanted to know if you can watch it with adblock on and hey! You can! (I have watched it problem free)

#moe talks a lot #not art #haha get it a move of all time cause it is ... based on a game..... moves..... #anyway hello please I am requesting people to consider watching this movie i own it twice on dvd and once digitally #and will probably watch it on youtube with ads just because i can because its worth it and i want to enjoy it everywhere i can #until the day i die i will try to open a door incorrectly and my brain will scream at me #LET US IN LET US IN ! - LET US OUT LET US OUT ! #thinking about that time i asked a guy his bday and it was dec 13 and im like oh cool just like this other worker #and he widened his eyes and informed me ITS ALSO TSWIFTS BDAY #and now i am regretting being unable to plug my favorite movie to two men who both knew that tswift had the same bday #i had a CHANCE to say OH DEC 13 THE SAME DAY AS MY FAVORITE MOVIES RELEASE YOU SHOULD WATCH IT #gosh i really will plug this movie to everyone

comic regarding my personal headcanons on juniper being gay. I don’t like giving characters sexualities without expanding that thought process & how it affects them, especially given the time period ieytd takes place in. sorry that you’re famous and the possibility of a scandal like that reaching the public eye would lead to the downfall of your career. what’s a man to do!

#would like to say because not saying it last time caused some strange drama! you can give juniper whatever sexuality it’s not up to me haha #this is my own juniper interp!! do whatever you want with him it’s not like he’s my character #this is just me elaborating on my headcanon more and how it affects this little freak #i couldnt care less what people you think he’s into. do whatever you want forever #that being said this IS my interp. behold #i expect you to die #ieytd #john juniper #sat on this comic for awhile bc it was difficult to properly convey #but i think it turned out alright #bubbles in the 7th panel also do not reflect my thoughts btw. thought it should be clear from the getgo but just incase

[hadesbullshit]

I have thoughts qTubbo's death & qPhil's reaction to it

I think q!Phil just laughing it off was because he doesn't rly think of death for humans as permanent. immortal who spent most of his life around other immortals and with hazy memories from before the island -bc long life = memories fade- and that, plus he's seen Tubbo come back from worse than a squabble with Richas. so at first he sees Tubbo's body lying there and he like does a kick flip over it and tell other people with a laugh because qTubbo can just pick himself up, the guy is being dramatic. or so goes Phil's thought.

Also hes got this big romanic connection with death id we're consiering Kristen semi cannon and Missa being a reaper. Death isnt a thing that stops people from being and it certainly isnt perminant. its just like going into another room

#also bc i had to say it: i think qPhil being so haha funny about it was more like ccPhil going #'oh haha my freind died in minecraft lol ill see him like tomrorrow' sort of thing #'oh haha my freind died in minecraft lol ill see him like tomrorrow' sort of thing bc phil doesn't rly do a lot of hard core rp as often #like when he's on the server hes just messing about not doing *LORE* #(and while it bugs me sometimes he is one to make fun of people who do more dramtic lore) #i may bc biased bc i am a philza minecraft defender till i die (or it terns out he's a horrible person) #also also also i did not watch the [art of the stream where tubbo died bc i was buessy #sorry #tubbo #q!tubbo #qsmp tubbo #qsmp #philza #philza minecraft #qsmp phil #q!phil #q!philza

stupid dungeon meshi au where laios is an unexplainable eldritch monster thing that constantly eats anything he can get his hands on. everyone in the party treats him like a slightly disorderly raccoon. everyone outside the party gets a fastpass to heaven from just seeing him.

#people meeting the touden party for the first time: GET YO FUCKIN DOG BITCH #falin: he don't bite :) #to some people he's so incomprehensible that he circles right back around to being some white guy #izutsumi joining and properly seeing laios: you're seeing that thing right. i can't be hallucinating you're seeing this shit too right. #marcille and chilchuck who just see some dude: yea it's just our token male tallman #nothing changes in the first half of dungeon meshi except falin didn't die but laios ate the red dragon and thistle forcibly kicks them out #the second half of the story is everyone desperately trying to hide laios from the canaries #while the man himself wanders off to hunt for winged lion meat #kabru: ok so hear me out. the touden party aren't hiding anything haha no falin's brother goes to another dungeon. #but theoretically if he was in the dungeon right now and he was also an ancient eldritch monster capable of eating the world what would u d #mithrun: ...there's another touden? #the winged lion is fucking terrified of laios. the winged lion does not know if eldritch monsters can eat demons. #the winged lion is about to find out. #finale of this au is a kaiju battle between the demon and laios #laios #laios touden #laios thorden #falin touden #falin thorden #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi spoilers #my art #fanart #art #doodle #don't repost or your tibia is going in the broth next

hey you guys know that even if the people inside that submersible are rich billionaires, dying in that metal tube at the bottom of the ocean is a horrific way to die right. like. yeah stupid choices were made by the people in there signing off on a waiver that says the sub is not approved by anyone and they could die. but it’s the fault of OceanGate for knowingly putting people into a Home Depot DIY sub rigged up with an Xbox controller all to make a profit on people’s curiosity.

#ra speaks #personal #oceangate #missing sub #be normal on this post or I’m going to be disappointed in you and hope you grow as person #listen I’m not touching the ‘site of a horrific maritime disaster being used as a tourist locale’ with a ten foot pole #but like the people in that sub are currently going through something incredibly traumatic and will be lucky to survive #and I know we all love to laugh at dumb rich people suffering the consequences of their hubris #but jfc maybe I’m insane but like on a human level can you respect the horror of what is happening to real living ppl for a goddamn minute #there’s also a good chance these folk aren’t millionaires #they’re probably upper middle class folk splurging for the start of summer vacation #‘oh but I bet they’re still rich assholes-‘ THERES PEOPLE IN THERE. THEY MIGHT DIE. WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO GRASP AS A TERRIBLE THING??? #me. low empathy: wow this is horrible. I quite literally can’t imagine how the people down there feel but I’m sure it’s incredibly traumatic #dumbasses making memes: haha dumb rich kid and his dad are gonna suffocate in a metal tube lol

Huge fan of characters that are the moral guide to the story’s hero till the point they break and go evil btw. Love when the hero tries to live up to the morality that their enemy once preached to them. Btw.

#this is about Loki and Thor and also about Geto and Gojo btw #it’s so funny to me like #bros tried so hard to instill a moral backbone in the person they love and then go haywire themselves #amazing work #weight of all that morality really overlays the narrative forever and ever and ever hehe #like what’s the point of having morals if people are going to die anyway right? haha. *character does✌️and then proceeds to have a breakdow

Steve hears the metalhead who sells weed gives discounts when you flatter him so he goes to buy some and keeps giving Eddie random compliments (which is surprisingly not difficult). Eddie thinks he's flirting so he flirts back and Steve bi-panics bc he wanted cheap weed but instead he got invited to smoke with Eddie at his place (and he doesn't mind).

#People meant you should compliment Eddie's music #but steve is just like 'haha you're cute and your hair looks soft' #steddie #steddie prompt #steve x eddie #steve x eddie prompt #steve harrington #eddie munson #bi steve harrington #mlm eddie munson #stranger things #stranger things season 4 #st s4 #the 'eddie is a sucker for compliments' agenda will never die

some more Primal Rage concept work... Diablo V.3 after some input from the wife (bless her for letting me info dump on her and taking even the smallest amount of interest in the series hhhh) Sinjin will probably get some work as well cause I'm not happy with his outfit... need to make it make sense and also really want to rework his mask

#primal rage #primal rage diablo #primal rage sinjin #zuka doodles #drawings #tw blood #tw injury #honestly not how many people will see this #or what all to tag it because of Sinjin ffff #he can't die so Im like... ah I can really fuck him up physically and he'll be fine.... #he's not too beat up here honestly #missing a lower arm (sleeve is mostly covering it) and got some arrows in him and blood #wife had a Primal Rage dream and then let me lore dump on her all day #I very much enjoyed it hhhh #just nice to get to talk to someone about it #me being such a smart boy went from a game with a very small fandom (ARMS) #to a game with no fandom at all haha #oh also with Sinjin Im thinking to change it so he has a kind of dinosaur mouth mask? #I was trying to keep his think with blades going from his game design #when I gave him the blade shaped piece over his lower face #but idk I could make it something cooler ffff #and make it make more sense haha

I love Stay Tord, his character development? Amazing, but sometimes I want an unabashed evil little freak with a robot obsession who gets thrown in jail but always breaks out to be a Problem

#neil talky #I’LL PROBABLY MAKE THIS GUY #Like Canon Divergence Tord or smth instead of an AU #so this would be like EDDSWORLD Eddsworld without my silly #’realism’ takes #its cartoon haha where people die but temporarily

i think zhuhou is funny (one-sided or otherwise) because it makes it look like part of zhu bajie's karmic retribution was "horniest man in the universe falls in love with a guy who could not be any less interested in sex" unstoppable force vs immovable object lmao

ASFSFGTGREAFWDEQAS you know anon that was basically the underlying assumption of my first prompted zhuhou fanfic. And come to think of it, given that Zhu Bajie was in some versions of his story apparently condemned to like a billion years of romantic tragedy as part of his punishment, all things considered spending some of your immortality pining after a guy who isn't slightly interested in you like that but also literally can't die isn't as bad a situation as it could be. And thus were any and all potential other Zhu Bajie love interests spared from a violent demise <3.

It was @antidotefortheawkward who also proposed some time back that the peak of Sun Wukong romantic-ish options is "he's aroace and everyone wants him." And I have to fully agree given that this does combine my preference for the pretty canonical aroace Monkey King and the hilarity of how between Niu Mowang, Erlang Shen, and Zhu Bajie Sun Wukong aka the world's most uninterested bachelor is also somehow simultaneously married to and divorced from three different dudes over the course of Xiyouji.

Well, it's part of this monkey's character to be multivalent. It can be extremely heartbreaking as well as extremely funny to see how that plays out in his romantic-ish relationships as well XD

#anon answered #sun wukong #monkey king #zhu bajie #zhu wuneng #zhuhou #swk really is the epitome of 'I've never lost my virginity because I never lose" #and you do have to give it to the married/divorced swk potentially romantic-ish situations with dudes #that they're far more entertaining than the 'she die/he sad' ones that plague many a swk 'romance' #probably because both sides of such relationships are usually clearly capable of being vicious a-holes haha #adds an interesting level of friction when both sides have a clearly defined & independent character #and sometimes that character is 'self-interested people-eating yaoguai' #but hey #that makes for a neat spot to begin or end your narrative journey

Every time Mario is visibly concerned/worried about Luigi in the trailers/TV spots/sneak peeks/etc shown so far.

#mario movie #mario movie spoilers #super mario bros movie #super mario bros #super mario bros movie spoilers #cherrysip edits #LOOK...this is not a very good gifset #i am working with tiktok videos and recordings of television screens here haha #BUT!!! i couldn't get the idea out of my head of compiling all of this and i spent so much time on these gifs that now i HAVE to post them #also i know the text could look better but i am not very good at that yet please be gentle with me!!! #a couple more caveats: i may have forgotten something and also the context of these clips could very well be misleading #these are basically scenes where the trailers/tv spots make it APPEAR as though mario is reacting about luigi but i could be wrong #with all of that out of the way: LOOK AT THIS MAN. THIS SAD WORRIED VERY SMALL MAN. GIVE HIM HIS BROTHER BACK #like many people i was also worried when it became clear that mario and luigi were going to spend a lot of this movie apart #and i'm sure there will be stretches of time where mario is caught up in the adventure #but just the fact that luigi seems VERY front of mind for mario throughout hurts my feeble little heart #he isn't going to stop he's going to do whatever it takes until his little brother is safe and back beside him #(also: i hadn't seen that 'this guy's brother is going to DIE' clip in a long time and the FACE JOURNEY that mario goes on there continues #to be SO incredible and funny. he genuinely looks very pissed off at toad after the initial shock wears off.

actually I will never complain about being a klancer at the end of v.tron because imagine the ending from an al/urancer’s perspective

#klance #allura’s death was hard enough #imagine being emotionally invested in a canon ship for like 2 episodes only for half of the pairing to die #on top of them being a character you already adore #and then the other half of the pairing just goes: no.. don’t go… #not Lance hitting the ‘without me? haha’ during her last moments #and then she walks away with the people who fucking obliterated her planet and the universe?? #WHAT are we doing #now I’m just ranting about the ending again but seriously poor al/urancers #your fight is not taken seriously enough #vld spoilers #just cause I’ve seen someone live-blogging their first watch #want to be extra careful
