Steve and Dustin are sitting around talking about how Dustin had tried to keep a demodog as a pet.

Dustin: I bet Eddie would have let me keep it.

Eddie: The fuck I would! No son of mine is keeping a cat killer as a pet!

Dustin: Well, it's a good thing I'm not your son.

Eddie: Just for that. . .

Eddie drove off and didn't come back for a while. He returned with a bunch of papers.

Eddie: Sign here and here. . .

Dustin: What are these? Wait, did my mom sign these?

Eddie: Just sign them, shrimp.

Dustin shrugged and signed the papers, handing them back to Eddie.

Steve: Eddie?

Eddie: Can't talk now Stevie, got papers to deliver.

A month or so later. . . After Eddie had completely forgotten about it, mostly because he didn't think they would approve it. . . . He's lounging at Steve's place when Steve gets a call. Steve left to answer it. When he came back into the room, his hands were on his hips, and he was scowling.

Steve: Eddie?! Did you legally adopt Dustin as a joke?

Eddie: They approved them?! *shrieks* What's wrong with our legal system?! Don't they know who I am?!

Steve: Seriously? . . . Wait, why did Claudia sign the papers?

Eddie: That is also a very good question. *smirks* Bet she didn't think I'd actually turn them in. I did tell her it was a joke. She loves the bit where we're Dustin's dads. Absolutely tickles her.

Steve: For fuck's sake.

i Do Not Trust people who make Mary the bad guy in their stories when the show went out of its way to specifically show us how she was suffering just as much as stede was in their marriage and that shes, yknow, a good person

#mary is specifically framed in a sympathetic light in all of her appearances. the show switches to following her narrative so we can see #how much better her new life is for her too!!! like yes she tries to kill stede but we are shown in the narrative WHY she makes that choice #and that she struggles with it and we see stede understanding this too! he supports her decisions and her new life and is happy for her!!! #at no point are we shown anything that makes mary a bad person or bad mother- honestly i generally like mary far more than stede anyway #but even if you dont you should be able to acknowledge... that if u make her the bad guy??? w. what did you take away from the show?? #idk it has the vibes of. the girl character all the fans hate because she gets in the way of their precious little gay ship #or whatever. you know what i mean #ofmd #our flag means death #mary bonnet #mary allamby bonnet #everyone whos a mary hater is also an izzy hater bc theyre coded the same character type. betrayed wives my beloved #(this is a joke.) #uh. this might be one to add in the tags on again sorry gang i have too many thoughts

idk how much stock i put into those "gen z is more conservative than past generations" think-pieces from a few years back. but it's very possible for a person: to believe that climate change is a problem, to support (or be part of) the LGBT community, to believe in universal healthcare and social services, to support religious tolerance, to fight for expanded housing and labor rights, etc etc etc, and still, like, unabashedly hate women on a level you wouldn't believe existed

#like you really can't underestimate how far someone's hate can go for a specific group of people #while also believing in otherwise 'progressive' values idk #maybe i'm being a pessimist about these things #this is related to the last post i reblogged but now it's just on my mind #i understand that polls show (at least in the us) that gen z votes more blue than past generations and that's commendable #but you can walk and chew gum yknow. you can believe in progressive stuff while also being a massive sexist #and idk if these 'woowoo ~~trendy~~ sexism stereotypes but 'alternative and rebellious' bc i'm owning it' shit is uh. helping. #especially when you're too young to discern what is and is not 'ironic' or a 'joke' and you take it at face value #certain stuff is formative bc you're exposed to it young. and then BAM. it shapes how you see the world for a Very long time #sexism #rambles

i cant believe this is the only thing harry has addressed in his 12 years of being a celebrity 

#* #i hate twitter 😭 #also fyi although there were ppl joking #there were also ppl saying he should be beat up #and that chris should have beat him up #so yeah ppl were taking it too far last night

it has to be said: people who only support revenge when Inigo Montoya does it are fake revenge fans… he’s cool and fun about it and also extremely justified… what about characters who are cunts about it and ruin everything and aren’t valid in the slightest? you either show up for them or you aren’t there at all.

#this is a joke… i know people love unjustified revenge too #ESPECIALLY my followers #(or i mean. i would hope so… you’ve put up with a lot over the years if not 😂😂) #but that one post does always make me laugh #like. i do get what it’s saying. i do. #but i always think of this #cuz i like it when people aren’t justified and take it too far and are just generally awful #that’s why revenge fascinates me #so i’m not saying that we can’t or shouldn’t have diversity within the genre #i’m just saying that if you’re only here for it in its most ‘valid’ form - We Are Not The Same

see? him face

vens very cute and I think he deserves to square up with Roxas, who is his friend and not-clone, because it would be really funny but ALSO the boy deserves to win a single thing ever in his life as a break from being the universe and kingdom hearts (the moon)’s milk webkinz. AND! he missed out! on getting an award from the million dreams festival that he won because he was preoccupied with the plot which was not very fun for him and then right afterwards he like, died, so the universe owes him a trophy and an ice cream (he got better so he can have them now)

#blonde men poll 2023 #Sorry I didn’t mean to get so invested. my bug got really far though so I’m feeling some kind of parental competitive emotion #kh #link would understand. I think any link would take the trophy and reuse it for either something neat or pointless but cool looking #like a club. or perhaps a contraption. Or a big cup #ven would get really shy upon receiving it and then put it in his room ON THE SIDE SOMEWHERE so no one thinks it’s super special or anythin #but he’s proud of it. if ven got ANY trophy he would be proud of it he’s a very second place getting boy #it doesn’t get him down though. most of the time. he gets tired of it but he’s kind of used to not being special #hi if it doesn’t sound like I’m joking around anymore it’s because I got too into thinking about how ven wld react to winning a competition

The amount of chaos Danny could cause by setting up a blob ghost circus for a class project or science fair is immeasurable.

#danny phantom #blob ghosts #first we have the blob ghosts themselves being ghosts and freaking people out #then you have Danny being a little shit when it comes to jokes revenge and taking things too far #then you have the student body who may or may not want blob ghosts as pets #then val's ghost hatred #and finally the possibility of danny's parents finding out and showing up #everything would hit the fan #and here is proof that ghosts are smart and can learn new things!!!! #for this project I will be showing my parents falsified their reasearch due to an internal bias

i think in the past few weeks i finally overcame the long slow soul curshing burnout i fell into after writing my last two books and breaking up with a partner of over 10 years. lately i have been feeling ENERGIZED and excited by future projects rather than bitter and resentful about needing to do anything, and im more tolerant of stimulation rather than being so extremely stress averse that i cancel anything that requires much energy. my energy is feeding into itself now. perfect time to fuck it all up by writing another book.

#im joking because it is the IDEA behind this new book that in part has me so energized #and the plan for it is far more actionable and simple than my last two books which were Ordeals to write tho worthy ones #im also giving myself a six month timeline to write it tho books only take me three typically #and im gonna load my weekends with lots of fun things and socializing and some of my week nights too so as to keep things in balance #WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!

Hi, so I'm lowkey new here, just been a few months and I really don't understand what people mean when they say something happened on the eycte tour. I see your explanations all the time so it'd be awesome if you were able to explain some of these things and other things needed for context. And I swear, I'm too deep in to turn around now so might as well dive into it properly lol.

hi there and welcome! :)

hmm, what happened on the eycte tour... we don't know really and i haven't seen too many people discussing it. as we know things changed a little between them a year or two after it, so i'm guessing (this is just what i think!) that they fooled around too much and had to deal with the consequences, which were less pleasant than they thought they'd be? as someone who had (homo)erotic relationships with two of their best friends (not at the same time 🤣), i'm telling y'all NOTHING good can come out of it and no matter how much you try to fool yourself and each other that it won't change anything - it will. it will change everything. even if we only look at the shit they got up to on stage, the closeness, the kisses, the not-so-friendly embraces and other fruity shenanigans, that must have had some effect on them and their friendship, especially because they did it routinely and got too used to it, and before they knew it, it was all over and they went on to do their own things, breaking the routine (or the bad habits, ey?) and being apart from each other. i don't know, and i can only hope that i am totally wrong, but then we have a song like 'killing the joke' from miles... "interstellar, dressed in leather, drinking bitter boy, you know the plan, but you never knew the ploy" / "since you've been gone, left the TV on, let the milk go sour, let the bills pile up" / "'cause you're my top, you're my top, you're my top one-hundred shows, why do I always have to go killing the joke?" - which is a sad break up song and which i've seen people theorise that it could be about what their closeness during the eycte tour did to them, and perhaps how one of them (miles, most likely) 'ruined' what they had by wanting something more from the other, only to be rejected/things not working out the way they thought they would (i'm not sure if i agree that this is what happened; i would think it was more a mutual realisation and agreement to stop messing about but who knows!). the 'top one hundred shows' line can only make me think of them and miles' tweet that said that the eycte tour was the best tour of their lives and we saw how incredibly happy they were. and 'killing the joke', well, as i've said, these 'harmless' games are only so harmless until one of them realises something which causes everything to change for the worst. actually, i feel like 'the element of surprise' could be tied to 'killing the joke' as it kinda discusses the same theme ("and once it’s started it’s so tricky to stop"!!!) and if you want a sloppy 'analysis' of it, here it is

#sorry i couldn't give an answer which isn't just our theories 😂 #whatever happened i think that it must've had to do with them taking things too far/not realising what they were doing and #what consequences it would have #and just how alex sings it: once you start you won't stop until something bad happens and you are forced to. even if you know it's doing yo #harm #milex #tlsp #eycte tour #the last shadow puppets #anon #killing the joke

Okay but vampire Kells human Em au

Except em probably super doesn't believe in vampires and thinks Kells is just a fucking weirdo

#emgk #kells would be levitating or some shit and em would be pissed thinking he must have a contact high #he makes kells take a hepatitis test #and thinks kells refusing to come inside anytime hes not invited is just him being childish taking a joke wayyyy too far

I hope Halsin's lack of mentioning Ormn in the epilogue means that he had him moved out to Reithwin as well. The poor bear really seemed to miss him at the Grove.

Halsin mentions needing to teach the children that not all bears are friendly (like he is in wildshape), and I think Ormn would actually be a great help with that.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #at least he remembered he forgot about his animal matchmaking service with tusk - though that one was a joke #so of course they would come around for a punchline #no but ormn mentions he was never the strong one so he was likely a runt and has a generally mild personality #so he'd be a good tool to use in teaching that nature can be our friend but ultimately it needs to be minded #halsin is almost the equivalent of a domesticated animal - ormn would be a nice transition into the more unpredictable elements #of wild animals while still friendly enough with halsin that he would be able to intervene if it goes too far #and now i'm just imagining halsin taking the children out into the woods and finding animals #and teaching them the respect policy - the laws of the forest if you will #plus if he takes the owlbear as well he's at this point just the guy who adopts big scary dogs #but they're so well behaved and trained because they respect him
