In the town where I grew up, there was a large statue in one of the parks, of a famous historical white colonizer. I'm not going to say who specifically, suffice it to say that it was someone who wasn't worth memorializing for their deeds. And as you can imagine, this statue was a frequent target of vandalism, with paint or toilet paper or eggs on multiple occasions. Now, the local council was generally pretty lax when it came to repairing potholes or other public damage in the town, but every time, 24 hours after this particular statue was hit, the same person would always appear in a Hi-Vis vest, hat, mask and sunglasses, carrying a bucket of water, and wash it clean. They would do it as quickly as possible, but always made sure the face and the name carved at the bottom were generously scrubbed. This only encouraged people to do it again, and so it became a vicious cycle.
Within a year, the statue had sustained so much damage that it was unrecognizable and the lettering unreadable, so eventually the council came and took it down. Also apparently, the person in the Hi-Vis vest didn't even work for the council. They were supposedly just some 'good samaritan' who cleaned it, often before the council even discovered it needed cleaning, so they just let them do it and ignored the problem. They didn't bother putting the statue up again.
Much later, we found out that the anonymous 'samaritan' had been deliberately washing the statue with a bucket of saltwater, which had dramatically corroded it, causing irreversible accumulative damage far worse than spray paint ever would have done. It's even theorized that they were also often the one spray-painting it, just so that they had an excuse to come back after a day to wash it.

Imagine if I made a "Magolor falls into Undertale" AU as a joke? Lol that would be so stupid! Like he's there with Frisk going "how tf did I get here?"
And then I made another AU where Magolor ends up in FNAF SB. His ass would look so out of place!! But he could blast all the animatronics with them magic bombs!
And then I made another AU where he ends in Resident Evil Village and he beats up Mother Miranda with Ethan.
And then I made ANOTHER AU where he's in Pizza Tower and Peppino and him accidentally scare each other when they first meet LMAO!!!
I need to go to bed... ("-_-)

That moment when you making character ais of two sad, blond 16yo characters from two different fandoms causes a chain reaction in which it becomes a small inside joke of shipping the two together.
And.
Then one of them starts unironically shipping it and making content.
Which
means there's only one more step in the chain reaction.
More people are going to start shipping it, and there's gonna be fics and more fanart and it's going to become a bigger inside joke
OH GOD

I wouldn't work as the protagonist for one of those movies where the character is stuck in their hometown and cursing their peers, saying that they're gonna get out of there one day, because by 'get out' I would mean I would kill myself. The movie would run 13 minutes.

You know the average tumblr user could just not block any of the bots, show their follower list to a non-tumblr user and probably convince them they're like the ultimate stud or something

i really want to applaud the Voyager community for it's artistic capabilities of endlessly drawing, crocheting, and otherwise artistically rendering salamanders and salamander babies from the same three shitty too-dark 90s screencaps. y'all are the realest.

.... Okay, so I might have made a ahit oc during my downtime. Based on the idea of "yeah the idea of hat kid being a little space orphan doing a job is sad.... But what if they were separated from their family and needed to get back home instead?"
And what if their worried mother came to the planet they were on, looking for them after they'd JUST LEFT like a month ago?
SOOOOOO HERE'S SUMMER!
I may have gotten carried away with myself on this idea-
