more clone^2 memes because i think they're funny

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dpxdc crossover #dpdc #clone^2 #danny fenton is not the ghost king #so canon to clone^2 and clone damian the portal that ends up transporting damian to amity park is left pr ambiguous #so really how he got there could be one of many things whether it be through divine intervention or clockwork's doing or hell #it could've also been quite literally the 1 in 1 millionth chance that a natural portal opened up beneath him and sent him to amity #and was a happy accident #but the idea that the laz pits or another adjacent such entity heard damian wanting an older brother (he meant og damian but oops never-#specified) and then sends him to the one person who could fulfill that wish and make him happy at the same time.#was really funny to me within the context of the lilo and stitch meme. the meme can also be seen the other way around with danny as lilo #and damian as stitch. but danny being stitch was infinitely funnier and ~technically~ more accurate imo #danny technically IS a nice angel but also. he's a developing menace to society (just ask wes) and he's going to make damian one too #danny being from the midwest means he has a midwestern accent and thats not something the bats know how to handle when they finally meet hi #hey look at that! my meme making skills are steadily improving. im no longer making the same joke six different times in different formats #those first two images i made a few days ago the rest i made in the last thirty minutes in a spur of clone^2 induced inspiration #and procrastination of writing the cfau rewrite of the first post. we are 10k words deep folks and just barely got past the 1st gala reunio #dunking on the giw is a god-given right and danny WILL pass it down to damian

My main issue with men's clothing has far more to do with fit than style. If anything I love that mens fashion is a bit more boring bc i personally am a bit of a boring butch and I looooove solid & boring clothing in one colour maybe some stripes if I feel daring! However I hate that men's fashing has been haunted by slim fits for so many years now. My grandfather and I have toughly the same shoulder and arms measurements, but he is long and thin and while I'm not short I am fat and squat. His shirts from like the ninties to early two thousands fit better and more consistently than what I've found in any store, but with any of his newer shirts I'm not even remotely able to close them around me:') current movement towards oversized and baggy fashion has improved things somewhat, but in the end just fits a bit weird bc well, it's designed to look oversized and that uses different proportions usually, but at least then I can close the shirt:/

#for real best day of my life was when i was let loose at old navy bc that caters to stocky and square corn fed midwestern men #and i am really quite adjacent to that in build #but we dont have old navy over here:((((((#but yes i love dressing like a boring guy ❤️#musings

Actually I want to throw yet another annoying poll to the tags bc now im thinking about it

"a homemade candy made in the United States, primarily in the Midwestern States. The recipe's name and ingredients can differ depending on the version, but most recipes will typically include cereal, melted chocolate, peanut butter (or other nut butters), and powdered sugar." [wikipedia]

#danny phantom #vlad masters #I grew up in Ohio and my family always called these muddy buddies #but depending on which midwestern state or what your family personally calls it- it can be different #and we LOVE arguing about what these damn things are called #food cw

More of my Midwest Twilight agenda (slang/phases edition)

- "yeah no" (no)

- "no yeah" (yeah)

- "yeah no for sure" (yes, definitely)

- "yeah no yeah" (unfortunately yes)

- "no yeah no" (don't worry about it)

- "wanna drive around" (there is nothing to do and you will 95% end up at a target)

- "keep 'er movin"

- "next door" (under 5 minute drive)

- "right up the road" (5-10 minute drive)

- "couple miles" (10-20 minute drive)

- "not too far" (20-50 minute drive)

- "a little ways" (1-2 hour drive)

- "pretty good drive (2-5 hours)

- "you can comfortably get there in a day" (5-15 hour drive)

- "you good" (a lot of uses, definition varies widely based on situation)

- "that time of year, snows here. probably gonna stick too"

- "could be worse" (literally hit rock bottom)

- "oh its going" (yk that one picture of a dog sitting in a room where everything is on fire and he says its fine, its that)

- "cake-eaters" (city that has all the old rich white ppl)

- "colder than a witch's tit" (cold as fuck idk if this ones strictly midwest or just a northern thing but it fits)

New favorite picture of myself from the Gay Easter Parade. Photo by Marc Pagani via ⚜ The New Orleans Culture ⚜ fb page

Bonus: someone saw me waiting for the streetcar on the way to the parade

#lots of people take pictures of me and I never see what becomes of them #like I imagine they in their midwestern homes doing one of those slide show presentations #“here's the cathedral here's the beignets we ate this girl we thought was pretty”#me

i see your "jim makes plomeek soup for spock" and i'll raise you "spock makes scotcharoos for jim"

#i was torn trying to pick the most iowan of the various iowa delicacies available #how to choose between 'ham balls' or 'loose meat sandwich'#i just get a kick out of imagining spock's face as he researches traditional midwestern cuisine #as amusing as it is to picture jim adapting to vulcan cultural practices #it is objectively more hilarious to picture spock trying to learn the difference between 'yeah no' and 'no yeah'#anyway jim being from the midwest is very important to me personally so here we are #spirk #star trek tos #star trek aos #jim kirk

My grandparents-in-law hosted us for dinner last night, and made such wonderful food. Today, I baked some bread, and the recipe yielded more than I expected, so I made a small loaf for them as a gift, and brought it to their house fresh out of the oven. When we got there, my grandmother-in-law said "wait right there, I made cookies this morning, let me send some with you before you go."

A mentor of mine once said that sharing food is a sacred act. I think of him in moments like this.

#I LOVE midwestern hospitality #out here we all just love food #and give food to the people we love #also the food sharing as sacred #I believe is tied to indigenous culture #but I don't know the specifics #and don't want to assume or appropriate
