"No fishnets!"

It was Halloween And, today, she can be anyone Today, she'd dress "saucy"

She had the idea To wear a leather jacket With a red blouse

And cheetah print boots Completed with red lipstick

As far as she knew, The blouse was enough To cover her rear end

The initial thought Was to wear black or red fishnets But Big Sister wasn't having it

No, she'd have to wear bottoms Halloween is where she can be anyone Dress "saucier" than usual

However, Sis allowed to her have her fun But not too much

It would be chilly out, clearly But she would be unbothered by that However, Big Sister had some other objections

That she didn't state Little Sister was already dressed "saucy" And that was enough

By Big Sister's standards Otherwise, she'd have been immodest.

so theres a comic concept that, back when i was a child, started as a story with THREE male protags, but as of current has two female protags instead, and i wanna make a bit of a mythology gag. as in, a subtle joke only i as the creator would get - the idea is to subtly imply the story takes place in a genderbend world which would have no actual impact on the story, just be a bit of fun to subtly hint at the original concept for the comic being so different

my idea is having a lot of stuff that reference IRL which IRL are masculine, like celebrities and stuff, be instead feminine versions in this world, and viceversa.

for example, one of the main character's closet would have a shirt with the Hbomberguy meme in it, but its a girl instead, stuff like that.

what other things should i include for this joke only i and anyone who reads this post will get, if the comic is ever posted anywhere?

Nurse: I'm sorry, sir. We can only allow family to see Mr. Buckley at this time-

Eddie: Bold of you to assume I won't marry him on the spot.

Buck, still very drugged: You tell 'em, honey.

Lol imagine telling one of the yan genshin boys that they’re boring.. They’d be soo hurt by such a simple insult, I know it for a fact.

Like just imagine Diluc in that kind of situation. Maybe you’d just accidentally blurted it out without thinking, probably in the middle of him telling you about his day. He’d just go still, a frown impaled in his features.

Unfortunately, you wouldn’t go unpunished as it is unbecoming of a woman to speak out of turn about her husband, plus I imagine you’re not allowed to interrupt Diluc. Ever. But after that punishment, you’d probably see him sulking, mulling over you calling him boring.

..Did you really mean that? Surely you were just trying to be mean.. Right?? You don’t actually think he’s boring.. Right???

Of course he gets upset at first, but… then he thinks through it reasonably. You can be a spiteful little creature, you don't actually think before you speak, you just get mad and lash out, no differently than kids often do. It's not at all something that should be taken seriously.

And it's true that you're not supposed to speak out of turn. So it was probably deliberate, just you trying to maximize disobedience by not only breaking rules, but being as mean as possible when he's specifically told you many times now that you're supposed to be exclusively positive and sweet (which you repeatedly fail to do, but he's pretty sure the corrective process for this behavior is going well and you'll stop being so mean very soon).

But also, it's only natural that you would think that about some things he does… you just lack the intellectual capacity to appreciate certain things. In fact, you're probably just mad over your own cognitive inferiority. It's understandable.

Or so he tells himself. The man spends the next few days coping. Poor thing.

Otherwise, the egotistical ones either take it the hardest OR delude themselves very easily. Like Xingqiu/Zhongli/Albedo can convince themselves it's because you're just too lacking in intellect or maturity to appreciate certain subjects, while ones like Childe/Kaeya will be in absolute shambles. At least they can pass it off as you being mean, which they make sure to tell you.

An Ill-Fated Afterparty: Part I

Previous / Next

Caleb: This was a bad idea, Lilith. I can still take her ho-

Lilith: Leave us be, Caleb! Isn't it past your curfew anyway?

Helena: [muffled] Yeah! Go to bed, Grandpa!

Lilith: Let's get you upstairs before you giggle yourself to death, darling.

Helena: [breathlessly] Holy shit! Are those, like, your great-great-grandparents? They look just like you!

Lilith: Yes, we Vatores have remarkably strong genes.

Helena: Are you fucking with me? You guys must've gone to one of those old-timey photo studios in the mall!

Lilith: [whispers] I think you're trying to distract me.

Helena: Distract you from what?

Lilith: From this. You know, the biggest, softest bed in the world is waiting for us just beyond these doors.

Helena: Well, then why are we still out here?

Lilith: Good question.

Helena: Lead the way, Ms. Vatore.

Lilith: I'll just slip into something more comfortable

Helena: [crains neck] What have you got hiding back there anyway? A closet full of skeletons?

Lilith: [laughs] The girl's got jokes. What's not to love?

Helena: [sighs contentedly] You'd better love me. Because there's no way I'm leaving this bed until you're dragging my cold, lifeless corpse away.

#ts4 #sims 4 #sims 4 story #ts4 story #simblr #story: hzid #helena zhao #lilith vatore #caleb vatore #helena look around you!!!#the skeletons (and creepy animal heads and anachronistic portraits) are out in the open!#there's nothing i love more than extremely heavy-handed macabre humor #the less subtle the better imo #btw i know it's corny but i would really love to reach 1k followers by the end of the year #so if you guys want to try to help me get there it would be really special :)

I rewatched "Scorpion part 2" twice in two days and I have to say, the Collective was very funny for acknowledging Janeway's request that they assign her a spokesperson by activating the crankiest, most insufferable drone they had lying around

#voy #i think the Borg might have a sense of humor. it's very subtle #drone seven: you are SMALL and think in SMALL terms #me: that's like your opinion girl

Long, boring meetings are better with a buddy.

#Commander Cody #Obi-Wan Kenobi #Star Wars #TCW #Whatever Cody is saying sounds perfectly professional #But it's probably either an inside joke about their recent mission (which totally definitely went according to plan)#Or a mild/subtle dig at someone else's foolishness #Tactical deployment of humor is a survival strategy for dealing with Senators and/or High Command #Also they're goobers your honor #Patchy Doodles #ID in alt text

So can I woobify the winged lion now

#dungeon meshi #only half a joke..#humorous phrasing but well umm uh um #you didn’t hear this from me I may have a ‘sympathizing with the demon’ post in drafts #I think it’s really fun to think abt him as a person and like #it’s fun to imagine what sort of silly things could’ve happened had he actually just hung out in Laios’ body #or shared Laios’ body if that’s possible #or just straight up hung out #third touden sibling. I’m serious #im also sick in the head and I think it would be really fun #to torment Kabru with being the only one to fully realize That Is Not Liaos #bc the demon is never subtle with desires too. goes insane

How is One Room Angel so poignant and funny at the same time? I have a feeling this series is going to break me in the end, but I'm going to enjoy the ride.

One minute we have heavy emotional moments with Angel being the only one to ever appreciate and compliment Koki.
