My brother and I just learned the true meaning behind "this little piggy," and we are traumatized LOL. You know...little kids take what they see and hear at face value, and we thought "went to the market" meant the pig went to [insert favorite grocery store] to buy some milk or something...specifically the roast beef the other pig ate lol. We recited that rhyme with visions of the pig tra-la-la'ing down the aisles pushing a shopping cart. 🤣 But today, he sent me a video of people around our age having this same epiphany and realizing the pig was not at Kroger pushing a cart buying roast beef (and milk lol), but in fact going to the meat market for slaughter! 😵
The roast beef? That speaks of the other pig being fattened up for slaughter.
The one who stayed home was too young and needed to mature.
The one who had none? Well, he was too small to go to the market and should probably have some roast beef.
But the one who cried weee weee weee???
😭
I don't have the heart to tell you what that one is, but you already know. I feel like my favorite commercial (and one of my favorite responses) is a lie and now I'm conflicted lol.
But I've been saying "weeeeee" for like half my life lol. I started saying it even more after I was introduced to Hamilton. Maybe I'll just say it's from there lol. 😅
yeah those guys who died? there fine now. thats the fucking cartoon shit babey! got new names, ones got a new paint job. OH. and something ive been BEGGING the series to tell me.
whats the relation between the tapedeck bot their casset bots?
[ID: Transformers Headmasters (the 87 anime) screenshots. It's of Soundwave, a navy blue Decepticon with a face mask. He places a hand over his chest, where the tape deck mechanism is, and speaks to his cassets, saying "That's my boys." END]
^just got revived by the cassettes, who had all gathered his pieces and were waiting for him. recalling them all back to their internal compartments.
[ID: The autobot cassets and Daniel gather in what looks like the living space for a much larger mech. Ramhorn, a rhino, and Steeljaw, a lion lay morosely on the floor and a couch respectively. Rewind and Eject, both small humanoid mechs along with Daniel, a human boy, sit slummed around a table. END]
^they're SAD.
[ID: Daniel, one fist raised, his other hand out, in a determined yet pleading manner. He's saying "You don't understand! Nobody understands how the Autobot Cassettes feel!" END]
^the other bots not getting why the cassettes are too depressed to go on a mission. surely i should not read into it being a human child. u know. kid with a parent he relies on. who does understand them.
[ID: Daniel and the cassettes hugging and celebrating. Daniel and Rewind hug, Steeljaw excitely stomping his paws between their legs. Eject reaches for Ramhorn, who's rearing up on his hind legs. END]
^being told blaster can be rebuilt
well i appreciate the extra depth and world detailing. is all... anyway...
[ID: Rebuild Blaster, his new paint in blue and yellow, but still with red hands. He's waving one hand and holding his gun in the other. Saying cheerfully "That's all for now, folks!" END]
Anouther I bet you're a pretty normal dude. You're so normal. The normalest. I'm so normal. N n normal urges. The things I wanna do they- they're so normal. I- they- you don't understand. I'm very normal ok? Try to understand how normal I am. When I walk down the street they think I'm such an absolutely normal guy. They go wow. Woah. Hy's the normalest of us all. I'm so normal it- it makes me almost boring and unlikeable in a- in a different direction. See, you couldn't even FATHOM how normal I am. I don't even use words like fathom. Because I'm so normal. I dress in exactly what is most popular and acceptable in any given moment; I have this magic- powerful sense for it. I connect to others a normal amount over normal things. I have normal unremarkable ideas. I do not have different political and moral ideas from you, don't be crazy abnormal. I eat normal, I drink normal, I breathe normal. And if you say otherwise you're retarded abnormal. I'm like you, I'm normal. Stop being such a puss- Stop bein- stop pretending I'm a degenerate abnormal. I don't even curse and and I especially don't use, gasp, slurs. You're a disgusting pervert freak mean person for thinking I'm anything but perfectly normal. I have experienced nothing. I am a monument to nothing. That is how very normal I am.
have you read Toa? Apollo’s haikus are the chapter titles and theyre undeniably shit and thats perfectly fine 😭 comedic effect and besides hes the god of all poetry, not just good poetry
I read some of the Trials of Apollo. Never made it past Book 3 (because of both COVID depriving me of in-person school, where I did all my main reading and Jason's death), but I read some of it. And you're right, the poetry was fun in that. Plus there were a lot of song references. Which was sometimes hard to work with since I was reading at school, but I used to them look up all the songs mentioned when I got home. Rick Riordan did that a lot sometimes.
Also, poetry is subjective. As long as it rhymes, I'll probably appreciate it. No rhyme, no appeal for me. I had an English class try to reach me about haiku. I never got it. Still don't. But that just makes it easier for me to appreciate Apollo's haikus.
yknow those artists who post exclusively original art and yet still have massive followings and consistently get good amounts of notes on all of it. yeah how do they manage that
