#a doodley #the funny thing being real human cheye uses the shower daydream to get his own ass in there #had to scribble this out before i (we?) showered bc i knew the feeling wldnt be there after... #i have a cow al smunker scribble i wanna get out afterwards #i was gonna make a version where talon also has some Option Text but #i dont think its the same. like he'd struggle to say thank you but its a fleeting accepted thing #unlike smunker who has to quickly analyze and toil between all options to stay true to himself while not making talon upset #or making a joke that would cause talon to shy away again #talon doesnt need option text you can see it all in what he doesnt say; which he relies on because he wont say it. #hmmmm i may remove the final smunker option text #its good for gimmick continuity and character but not for punchline #ok edited it out ^_^

SHE WAS MEMEING???

#just thinking thoughts... #I mean silver spoon used samba dancers as a punchline too somewhere #but also. this is SO hip with the times. the timing is literally exactly at the peak of meme hotness. #maybe even slightly before since the date is for the volume and this was one of the earlier chapters #so it probably came out sometime late 2007??? #so surreal to research history and have DVD corner bounce moments like this. #kekkaishi

happy bomb in a tribble tuesday 

#STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE 9 #BEST LINE FROM BEST EPISODE #I started it and then when I saw what they were doing I GASPED ALOUD was like pointing at the screen and going oooh woahhhh so cool!!!! #and then I immediately went back and watched The Trouble With Tribbles so I would get what was going on lol #I love DS9 but sometimes there is like. pre-work u have to do before viewing certain episodes. and nobody warns u about it #somebody should put together a guide or sth for those of us who don't wanna watch all of TOS and TNG beforehand #Starky's Original Posts #can't imagine how lost I'd be if I hadn't watched a couple hours-long Star Trek video essays before starting the show omfg #DS9 is so fucking funny bc they will catch u up to speed if u forgot sth from last season but if u didn't see TNG ur on ur own #Miles out of nowhere: well Worf that's just because you hardly see your son! #Hapless DS9-only viewer: WORF HAS A SON????? WH-- #also I love how much DS9 hates its companion shows. Picard killed Sisko's son. The doctor from Voyager ruined Julian's life. #STAR TREK ON STAR TREK HOSTILITY #it fucking loves TOS though as seen from this episode #which is just the perfect punchline to it all. perfect no notes. #in conclusion society if Garak got to see Julian in that little TOS uniform getup..............

one year ago today i got some of the worst news ive ever gotten in my life so far. i am so lucky because the news wasn’t as bad as it could have been and also on the scale of things you could get bad news about it’s basically nothing like it’s not even a big deal compared to other things ive experienced let alone other ppl. but it was fucking horrible. it came out of nowhere. it defined the last year and it changed my whole life. there’s no point to making this post there’s no point in acknowledging it with other people around bc quite literally not a single person on this planet cares / is still hurt by it to the degree i am and im not saying that bitterly it’s simply a thing that is true of the situation. but i feel the need to acknowledge it on here not for anyone to sympathize or whatever but bc ive been documenting all the fallout of it on here / vaguing abt it multiple times a week for 52 weeks lol and i want this to be part of the record. but it’s like. damn. it’s been a year since it happened. but more importantly i SURVIVED this year. i survived. im still here. and even though im still wounded from it and can’t see all the good that came from it right now (though i am definitely aware of a lot of good that has come from it!) i am growing and changing. i might never fully heal from it (though maybe i will!) but one day this will not hurt as bad as it does. i am going to try to hold on to that.

#purrs #delete later #NOT to use this phrase knowing what it connotes. but what if you came into my life and the instant i made eye contact with you i knew i #wanted to get to know you and you became a role model for me in 4.5 days and then i spent 4.5 years clinging to your ankles and developing a #(possibly delusional / one sided) psychic bond with you and we were part of each others stories and you changed my life foreveand helped to #shape my heart and helped me find my wings and learn to fly and then one day in july tou revealed that you got another job and had been #searching for the last 6 months and you were abandoning us just as i was finally coming into my own in my most vulnerable moment and the #implication of this (because of your personality / lifestyle / whatever) is not only that we would no longer be colleagues but also no loger #in each others lives basically at all (also this is because of my own mental illnesses and our complicated relationship dynamic btw) and i #sobbed harder than i ever sobbed before in my entire life right in front of you and you told me to stop crying because it was making the #decision harder but that only made me sob harder because i love you and i still love you. and we were both girls #<- again. NOT what this is. just punchline of meme reference

This being the beginning of my first winter since my top surgery, I have come to a conclusion as the temperature has begun falling. Before putting my conclusion forward, I do want to acknowledge that there are many other factors to consider, including by not limited to:

I am given to understand that it is actually a colder winter than the last few have been (something about El Niño?) and temperatures certainly seemed to take a dive quickly.

Said top surgery was ~3 weeks ago. Much of my body's energy is going towards finishing up the healing process.

Also on that same note, I am regularly packing ice around my upper torso in order to keep swelling down and help with pain management.

All that being said and subsequently ignored, my conclusion is thus:

Body heat is stored in the boobs.

#why am I so cold #i used to walk barefoot in the snow #now I don't want to leave my house without trousers and sandals at least #that autistic need to ruin the joke by explaining it before the punchline even comes out #and then still not being sure it was clear enough and explaining more in the tags #top surgery

as dissatisfied as I was with the aim to be a pokemon master miniseries i have to be grateful to it because it finally treated oshawott well

#i was still watching bw i believe and oh my god it was such a breath of fresh air to see him be treated well #like hes still goofy and gets into slapstick but it doesnt feel meanspirited at all #and the episodes resolution hinges on him and everyone thinking he's cool and imitating him #that was probably written by someone who either felt bad that they shat on oshawott so hard during best wishes #or someone new to the show who was upset that oshawott was treated so poorly that they decided to write a redemption episode #like. ill always be a little bitter that the show was so cruel to oshawott bc it was so weird and meanspirited #presumably just because someone on the staff really fucking hated that thing and wanted us to think it was stupid and annoying #ik ive said this before but thank goddddd they stopped picking a starter to bully by sun and moon #cause you KNOW they would have done it to popplio. you know good and well popplio would be getting jokes about how weak and dumb it is #theres a dark timeline out there where lana's eevee started beating the shit out of popplio and the show was begging you to laugh #''well that sounds extreme" except its NOT because thats LITERALLY the punchline with piplup in late dp #echoed voice

🎭🪠📰

🎭Favorite sketch where the kids play themselves? oh the scott-bot sketch for sure! so many parts i love: the scott-bot ripping off bellini's towel only for him to have another towel underneath, kevin bursting in with a ripped sweater, mark's scared acting, the fact that scott built a robot because he was still tired from his vacation, scott fighting the robot in his robe and with the wrong remotes... it's a gem

🪠Favorite one-off character? scott's detective character from the katnapped sketch. that's a great sketch already, but there's something just really fascinating about the peter prince character that i just can't get enough of. also some of scott's best work, in my opinion

📰Have you watched News Radio? i have not! but i plan to! my girlfriend used to watch it and she really hyped it up for me. i recently found seasons one and two at a second-hand store, and my sister got me season three for my birthday. once i get it the last couple seasons on dvd i am blowing through it

#thank you for the ask! #it was a toss-up between the scott-bot sketch and the one where scott says he's in love with the troupe #because while they're messes individually together they make up the perfect guy #but i've got a soft spot for the scott-bot one if only because the punchline of mark of all of them to be the “not even he is safe” one #is truly funny in a way i can't explain #also i don't care how used it is #trying to do something with a remote and you just can't find the right one and you end up turning off the program you're in #will never not be funny to me #katnapped i won't shown at my funeral because i think it sums everything about me up #the reveal that Kitty isn't this old woman's cat but just some chick tickled me to no end #and scott's performance is mwah chef's kiss amazing #and i really want to find all of news radio on dvd before i watch it #i like the thrill of discovery and finding stuff like that in the wild #thanks again i had a blast answering #the kids in the hall #ask game

auurghhggg i was drawing some P.I.E. fanart in kidpix and then this fucking happened. gone forever. below is all i could salvage (the second one is brightened to see easier)

#sorry penis investigator extraordinaire fanz. you will never see what this drawing wouldve looked like #i didnt even get chris in but i want 2 draw him. i draw him plenty in my DEVIANTART WEBCOMIC but i should draw him 4 realz #i find it quite funny that basically all you can parce from this is 'F-SLUR' right next to toast #and the punchline of the comic with spooker cause i accidentally made some of the lines dark navy blue instead of black before it happened #btw that comic... not saying what it is but if you know you know. #still pissed off that i wasted time though !!! i have 2 be moar careful with kidpix #i was fuckin around with filters and using my one undo to undo it each time #and then i refreshed the page and the checkerboard effect was on an j couldnt undo it #applying it a second time got me the second image though. it was all i could do 2 save it #i'll tag but i wont art tag this.. i'll put it under my textpost tag #evilmartin430.txt #venturiantale #taleblr #paranormal investigators extraordinaire #johnny ghost #johnny toast #fred spooker #you can ALMOST see my designz 4 them. almost.

i know our fatphobic cultures have deepfried and glassblown people's brains but it always boggles my mind when a fat person is fatphobic ??? what are you doing

#i mean like #your overweight aunt telling her daughter who's slimmer than her to lose weight #fat middle-aged women in the street making a face at a young fat girl in a crop top #people saying stuff like ''she could look so much better if...'' while being fatter than the person they're talking about #couples of equivalent sizes turning each other's weight into a punchline #like. this isn't something that makes my life any harder so as annoying as it is i don't feel the need to address it #but nobody in my family seems to get that I Do Not Care what weight i am #i've put on weight over the last year or so and when i say it's not an issue to me #my mom & grandma just act like... it should be ??? like i should be feeling awful and beating myself up over it ???? #shouldn't you be GLAD that i'm not ? that i'm not stuffing myself with celery and then puking it up ? #that i'm feeling comfortable ? that i'm not depressed over it ? that i think i look just fine ?? #meanwhile mom's way heavier than me and used to be even more before she had An Entire Surgery to lose weight #i mean. both my parents were fat. it's genetics. i'm never gonna be stick thin. i do not care ??? #i'm gonna look like harvey guillen jack black matt berry y'know ?? all men people find attractive ?? what's there to worry about #AND EVEN THEN. even if we lived in a nightmare world where people had shit taste and found them ugly #still wouldn't make it a problem ? idgaf what people think of my appearance ?? i'm vibing

watching community for the first time and i really appreciate that TV stopped casually dropping the t-slur as much as it used to

#community #community nbc #don’t get me wrong i love this show #i was just shocked #when the dean just Dropped it. and that was the punchline #different time thing for sure #and they never used a slur before #This just kinda happened at this time huh.

happ the birth!

uh thanks i mean it's not my birthday but i appreciate the thought i guess

#april fools! actually it is my birthday! #gosh that sure is a hilarious and original punchline that i've never before used in my life. where do i come up with this stuff #thank you <3 #i hope you're having a happ day as well #this year i'm spending mine doing a 48 hour shakespeare festival #in a couple hours i'll be receiving an original short script. me and the cast have this evening to rehearse and memorize. show's tomorrow. #it's a much ado-inspired piece set in the french revolution. should be fun. #in the meantime i guess i'm just hanging out with velcro #if you want to give me a present then send me some stuff to ramble about or something to draw #kinda feeling the 'i should talk to people on the internet' vibes lately

there’s this whole music-theoretical / music cognition thing surrounding how you can’t, like, universalize the position of “the listener” and thus have to dish out conjectures based on yourself-as-listener and/or a constructed/imagined listener who has a particular set of musical “competencies”/experiences & is familiar with a realistic hypothetical range of stuff (e.g., not assuming that an unmarked “one” is going to hear some excerpt and immediately think “that’s a perfect authentic cadence!” because, lol, i mean not even western classically trained musicians who use that terminology can do that as a rule). anyway. on one hand this is pretty obvious a la “music is subjective.” but on another hand it is a needed corrective for a lot of what bad decontextualized chord-labelly theory pedagogy does (which is unfortunately what proliferates at least ime in the u.s. since it doesn’t require a lot of critical/musical thought to just point at things on a score and label them)

anyhoo. all this in mind. what gets my goat is sometimes you will hear a piece of music and it is Immediately Clear that You are that fabled competent listener! or that they made this not for you exactly but for some hypothetical guy on your exact wavelength of positionality & musical background and whatnot (musical background =/= performing background necessarily; i just mean experience as a person who listens to music). it’s one of my absolute favorite feelings as a Music Listener to get that sense of like psychic connection or w/e with an artist, when not just the lyrics but the instrumentation, the rhythmic flow/pacing, the riffs, etc, the whole totality of the song feels like it could have come out of your brain somehow. it’s so cool.

#punchline in tags: i am suing jonathan meiburg (joke) #carol overreacts to music #carol overreacts to life #the first time i had this feeling was with a slowish ~f dorian jazz piece; sax & piano & some other stuff; that i never got the name of #which is too bad i mean there was a lot of stuff from my tap era that i never got the name of besides the dave brubeck & ella fitzgerald #and a couple other artists; but that particular piece stuck bc the stage lighting they used was so cool #and bc it had this feeling attached like i had heard it before even though i had not. it has been like 15 years & i still remember that lol #lot of reverb on the piano lot of pedal point; this kind of looping murky underwater-sounding stuff. it was so great #the other favorite feeling is the 'didn't know music could do that' feeling where it is so far Outside your zone of musical competency #that it sounds literally magical like 'where is that sound even coming from' #which is why i love those bullshit amplified cactus concerts still; and live looping; and spatialized stuff; and anything that isn't 12tet #(i specify non 12tet stuff bc my instrument; other than voice; is piano which is 12tet incarnate; so that's how my brain got wired kinda) #('bullshit amplified cactus concerts' is also a joke; i remain culturally indebted to that stuff and aesthetically pro newmusic)

Did you go to school to learn painting and color techniques? asking because your so amazing with drawing along with a vibrant color palette and i truly admire your work.

Thank you! Yes I did go to university for a while but they don't get any credit for my development, I learned most of my basic skills beforehand. My mom is a classically trained artist and it was with her that I learned life drawing. An influential moment in color theory came from a portfolio prep class I took when I was in high school -- the teacher stacked up a random pile of cardboard boxes in the middle of the room and had us each reach into a bag and blindly choose two colored pencils. We then had to assign one color for highlights and the other for shadows and sketch the boxes. I don't remember what colors I had but the point of the exercise, for example having to use a dark blue and dark green to create contrast and depth, was really interesting and fun.

Painting is something I've done all my life in a casual way, and I consider my current skill level to be self-taught as it has grown from making a decision as an adult to focus on painting, and basically start churning out pieces one after another. I don't think I'd be where I am as quickly though without those lessons in life drawing, and if anyone were to ask my advice on how to make their art on the page look like what's in their imagination I'd say first learn how to draw, on paper, with graphite, from a physical still life. Many self taught artists who want to create exciting fantastical works may want to skip this step because it's quite tedious (to me at least) and having an experienced teacher is pretty important, but the point of these lessons is very specifically to train your eyes, brain, and hand to communicate with one another in the process of translating a three dimensional object into a two dimensional illusion. The technical aspects of acrylic painting can be picked up by watching youtube videos and reading some tips while just painting and painting until you figure out the steps to get the effect you like. But I can't count the number of times I've been grateful for those drawing lessons, especially for painting in a lowbrow pop-surreal style.

Lastly, to get back to the color part I can't say I've memorized many technical facts about color theory, I largely feel my way through a painting. After a while you tend to remember which color combinations are pleasing to your own art style, and one thing I love about acrylics is how easy it is to repaint an area if you decide you don't like a color combination. Anyone who wants to see more of my art inspiration, color palettes, and painting references should check out my Pinterest!

#the punchline to learning all the drawing before college #was thst i didnt realize i didnt need to. tjey would have taught me in college... #my mom grew up in soviet russia. university was free but it was merit based: you had to prove you were already good at art to get in. #fast forward to my own artistic aspirations in america and she started me on my portfolio prep to prove to admissions i was good at art. #and of course i did it because i wanted to get into art school! i remember being legitimately surprised #that i had classmates who could barely draw. and i sont say that to be mean at all and i was NOT the best artist by far #its just that i was convinced you had to prove artistic merit to get into art school #when in the usa its more like you need to prove you have artistic ENTHUSIASM. #i swear the puzzle pieces didnt fit until i was in my mid 20s and realized... oh my god... #my moms education made us think it would be the same here... and no one ever told me othwrwise #... and actually people probably assumed i just Wanted to be good at art #rather than thinking there was no way id get in without technical skill. #inbox #ask #anonymous #art life #art tips #behind the scenes

Hi Mei!! ♡ How about Reid dating a sunshine!reader who tells obviously wrong facts when he is in earsight, just to mess with him? Bc I think it would be so funny 😭😭 Anyway, have a nice day, and thank you so much for all your quality content, you're saving lives <333

"Oh my god Emily, you're never gonna believe this," You lean in towards the brunette grinning at you, but your voice stays loud enough for Spencer to hear across the desk, "I just found out that bowling is more dangerous than dinosaurs are."

Her brow dips but her lips quirk up, "Alright, you've hooked me. What's the punchline?"

"No punchline," You shake your head, feeling Reid's curious stare on the back of it, "In 2019 someone died at a bowling alley after slipping on the floor and splitting his head open. But in that same year, there wasn't a single death by dinosaur. Isn't that insane?"

Spencer is already piping up before Emily can properly laugh, but you can still hear her beneath his frantic, "Uh, honey, that's not- that's not exactly right. I mean, dinosaurs would be incredibly dangerous, if any of them were still alive. Which, in 2019- uh, they were not."

"Statistically speaking, Spence," You use his favorite phrase against him, but you're not sure he picks up on the teasing grin set on your face beyond the concern he's stewing in, "You can't argue with the numbers."

"Well- you can't, but in 2019, the number of dinosaurs alive was zero, so that's- that's the only number that really matters, baby, but if you wanted to read more about the risks associated with communal sports venues, I'd be happy to share some articles I've looked into on-"

"Ah, leave it to Reid to turn a sick-ass discussion about dinosaurs about the dangers of fun," Morgan scoffs. He wasn't in on your plan from the beginning, but he's happy to jump on the bandwagon, "Besides, the last Jurassic Park movie was made in 2022, so there were dinosaurs alive, duh."

The Most Tumblr Punchline

I've noted before that my favorite punchline on Tumblr is "hang on, gotta look something up/okay that's funny."

Let me explain why:

It is a way to say "I don't get it" without blaming the joke or the teller.

It is a tacit admission of ignorance without shame or judgement.

It assumes responsibility for acquiring the knowledge the respondent doesn't already have.

It cues other people who Don't Get It to do the look-up themselves, allowing them to get that full impact of Getting It without derailing the post with explanations.

It gives subsequent readers, whether or not THEY got the joke, a little frisson of good feelings when they realize that someone else is now In On The Joke.

It not only makes the original joke funnier, it gets funnier the more often it's used.

#gotta look something up #okay that's funny
