i have so much to say about this but like. fuck social media for making certain types of "pranks" popular. just as a blanket statement? if the intent of a prank is to humiliate someone without their consent, there is a good chance what you're doing is actually just bullying.

and if you record that person, you are being twice the asshole in that situation. recording someone takes away their agency. do you really think someone you just humiliated on camera is going to have both the bravery and presence of mind to calmly ask you to please delete the video if it makes them uncomfortable? and do you think the people who pull these kinds of pranks would be like - oh sorry, sure, let me delete it, no problem.

"pulling a prank" is like. supposed to be funny for both sides. when you put people in unsafe situations and then laugh at them/judge them for their response.... like. that's not funny. that's abusive behavior. you are training them to accept their dehumanization. it's controlling and ugly. please fucking have any form of empathy.

if you don't actually care if they feel safe/comfortable, you're not being funny. you're being mean. labelling something "a joke" in hindsight does not undo the damage. it just gaslights the other person into thinking their reaction was invalid. you broke someone's trust and personal boundaries for clout. they deserve to be upset about it.

and as a side note? i will bet you 200 american dollars that most of these "pranksters" would immediately crumble into a huge overreaction if anyone even vaguely reciprocated and put them into that level of humiliation - because it was never about how "funny" pranks are. it was about control and manipulation. they like feeling powerful and they like making other people feel less powerful. which is ... bullying.

#okay bye #i also feel none of these people know how to apologize #when someone's like #its . not funny she got hurt dude #theyre always like IT WAS AN ACCIDENT LIKE WHY ARE YOU BLAMING ME #MAYBE IT'S NOT FUNNY BECAUSE YOU'RE STUPID #like yuh or i respect her personhood????? ig??#how about u just start doing things that are funny and then i will laugh?#my friend sent me gaara themed items every day for advent #it was fucking hilarious and confusing #bc i would just. find gaara in places #THAT is a good prank.#my family once had the Ice Barbie #which is a head from a barbie that had been frozen in ice #and we would Put Her In Places #the house i lived in w/8 roommates had The Spider and The Rat #both of which would be hidden in Areas #like soup pans and microwaves #totally not discussed #just a funny and fun stupid joke #it's literally that easy #instead tiktok is like #LITERALLY trying to get boys to call girls ''bitches'' just to see ''what happens''#like you got it!!!!!! that's a prank bc it .... ?????? hurts her feelings #''i prank my girlfriend by being mean to her!!!!'' .... so you bullied your girlfriend for clout and then #made it so she couldn't respond honestly #by saying it was a joke #...... you are somehow both admitting you suck while ALSO gaslighting her about it!!!! amazing.....

i keep scribbling Laughingstock as soft and wholesome, when in my brain they're chaotic and wholesome. Howdy's got that high energy and Barns is always down to clown yk yk

#like for example i have this very vivid Scene in my mind #where the neighborhood is having a little garden party and nice music is playing #franklydear is slow dancing. everyone is dancing either sweetly or just Normally #and then in the background you have laughingstock stumbling around laughing their asses off #because they're trying to attempt Swing but howdy has too many legs and its just a complete disaster #Completely ruining the vibe though no one minds. except frank probably #theyre just. theyre so Goofy #they have a thousand inside jokes and are always up to Something #they start to approach activities normally and then they stop and go 'hey wait. wouldn't it be funny if...'#the answer is always Yes. it Would be funny. and it Will Be.#they are each others' biggest fans and enablers in my mind #laughingstock #absolutely unprompted #and i just Know barnaby would be always pushing howdy's business #he overhears someone mention possibly needing something and he sidles over like 'heyyyy howdys got a great sale goin rn 👀'#barnaby: i know my jokes are outta this world but ya know what else is? BEANS FROM HOWDYS GO BUY EM #if they were in modern day and had phones / social media #i just know the only things barnaby posts are: bts of sally's plays. wally. terrible memes. and promo for howdy's place #so much promo...#and on the flip side howdy gasses up barnaby's jokes/etc like no one else #if there a thousand people laughing at his humor one of em is howdy. if theres only one person laughing then that person is howdy #barnaby's going to do a stand up show and howdy is making so many signs to make sure No One Forgets Or Misses It #somebody walks into the bodega after barnaby just finished a joke and howdy is like OH OH TELL IT AGAIN THEY DIDNT HEAR IT #ouaghhhhh they make me <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAY HAHA!#CERTAINLY NOT!!! /J #no im Sorry because Like. imagine. gwen just has this brother who up and basically disappeared one day. almost became . Someone Else .#he didn’t Talk the same anymore. didn’t smoke or joke or laugh like he used to. just worked all the time. [danny stoker looms in distance]#‘grow up theyre prolly just distant relatives or its a coincidence’ FUCK you. theyre twins to me. gwen was too close to og elias so she got-#universe swapped.

YESS self indulgent art with no context

Featuring @kristalpepsi

#deltarune #susie deltarune #deltarune susie #kris dreemurr #kris #kris t #myself #susart #ok on twitter there no context but ill give context on tumblr #so like. kris in our system. When they get REALLY excited (any form of joy like excitement or lots of laughter)#they give the body a COLD #like we get the sniffles and start sniffling for SOME reason #WE DONT KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENS and its JUST WITH THEM and its been going on for years #it happens when theyre fronting but it also happens when theyre cocon or just nearby or somewhere around or near front #so like i will be vibing and being normal and then i start getting a COLD. OUT OF NOWHERE. And it gives away that Kris is nearby or sneaking #around. Like we have no idea why yhis happens bug if we start getting a cold theres a 99% chance its literally Kris #which also means they cant hide LOL they gotta keep calm or else it gives them away #sometimes its annoying though because i wanna laugh without feeling like i got sick #but it does mean we make jokes like YOU MAKE ME ILL /gen BAHAHAHAHA

oh cool a tf2 podcast starring some tf2 youtubers whose stuff i enjoy lets check it out (watches 2 episodes) oh wow these guys are all genuinely terrible people

#im starting to think as a general rule that if someone isnt openly an ally then theyre almost certainly holding some chud opinions #like if they dont post about social issues at all its possible its because they actually dont care at all #and will in fact just make attack helicopter jokes and laugh about it

#there should be a word for when youre talking around the tightness of tears #speaking against something that hurts #laughing specifically to undermine the seriousness of the statements youre voicing #the worst of both worlds. help me help me hahaha im not even joking hahaha but listen to the lies in my tone. dont focus on the words.#i want plausible deniability. but also i want u to understand my pain and give it a voice. speak it into existence because i cant say it #but if u do i might cry. that sounds hard that sounds like a lot. i kno i know. shut up. keep talking. do u think i dont feel it? i do #but if i split myself in two i can watch myself and suddenly it becomes funny. im not sure why. but i have a bad habbit of laughting at #inappropriate moments. because if its not funny then its just sad and what am i supposed to do with that?#i dunno. thats all to say my dad called bc i was looking at housing stuff and i was explaining some of the stuff im doing rn #and thats hard to talk abt without crying bc ive always been a cry bby but i didnt. and i love my parents theyre great #but they dont understand bc i havent told them all of it bc theres nothing they can do so y make them worry. and idk i also think they #think im less competent than i am. and part of that is just bc im their kid. part of that is bc there r things thst most ppl can do but i #struggle with. but its also not fun to hear: oh yeah i was surprised by how professional u sounded. or i think ur mom found u those #connections. when no. i did that. i made those things happen. i promise i can do things sometimes. but sometimes i cant. i dunno its just #it is what it is. whatever. decisions to b made. do i room with roommates for lower rent #or do i take an expensive place for a year for a single room? i dont want roommates but ill take them #i mean all the single places r like 950 at the very lowest without any utilities or anything but most r well over 1000 and like on a grad #student salary? i think not. not without losing money on net. i can deal with roommates. i have in the past. i wont b able to relax ever #but its fine. ya kno #just annoying. hah my dads sage advice was ah dont let it overwhelm u. go exercise. bc hes an endurance runner guy #and im like bro when i get home i have 1.5 hrs of daylight. but alas hes right. i do gotta run out my angers and its not enough #ugh. one more week. itll work out. and eventually ill walk into a counselors office like bro i just want u to tell me whether or not i have #0cd bc whatever the fuck it is that makes me do these things is absolutely destroying me. name the beast 0cd or 0cpd. tell me what box #i fit into. not that it matters but i feel like i cant complain until someone else rubber stamps me. actually then ill probably just obsess #abt how. actually. theyre wrong. ay fun times #i gotta shake shake shake my sillies out. and wiggle my waggles away. bc i never could let my kids songs go haha #unrelated

forcing myself to post the page of doodles before i can say just one more and end up with two full pages

i am willing to blame all of these on this fic again but the middle 3 r technically actually from specific pieces. the other stuff is just what had already been stewing in my brain that the fic reminded me of. (the wol is kindly being modeled by asleepinawell’s wol today. i forgot to put that on the last one when i drew him 😭) im obsessed with the idea of there always being a space if one of the three is missing. been messing around with it for a while but this gave me an excuse to try and illustrate it. also to play around with how different things look when you copy paste most of the lines and only change a select few. always fascinates me how a single line can completely change an expression

#my art tag #ffxiv #endwalker spoilers #hestia/azem's tag #friend art tag #sorry to torture ur wol again but i have a running gag that batu doesnt remember zenos exists or who he is #plus ur wol is cute and has a carbuncle and i love au ra anyways #(i would always rather draw an au ra than the basic wol lol)#also the detail that hyth steals all the blankets made me laugh #extremely ic i think #also works with hestia bc i say theyre a heater bc they have an affinity for fire aether #so it wouldnt matter if hyth took all the blankets bc hestia is warm enough for both them and hades #one of those things that works fine if theres all 3 there but falls apart as soon as 1 is missing :)#i was joking the other day that these doodles are punishment for getting me hooked on the fic #like no! not nice comments! i'm suffering from brain rot!#genuinely tho im glad these r well received bc i would hate to portray things badly #and im glad to have something to keep me doodling because its fun and its all great practice #anyways that got deeper than i expected so i better just hurry up and post this lol #hythlodaeus #emet selch

Hot professor friend completely forgot he used to be my boss at the university library almost ten years ago, when he helped me decide to become a film student with a minor in English, but i forgive him because he said he loved me today when he hugged me goodbye and while I'm sure he's said it before today it feels special for some reason i dunno why but it does

#i spent my afternoon helping him and his one partner work on setting up the new poetry library he's responsible for #inside the university library and he joked that nonlibrarians are the best at library work because theyre so efficient #and i corrected him that ive technically been a librarian. he asked which library. i stared at him like he was joking. he stared back.#'are you fuckin with me right now?' 'not intentionally babe why?' 'cher you were my boss freshman year for chrissake' 'oh my god i was.'#it did mean i got to hear him laugh which i love his laugh so that was wonderful yay for making him laugh #but yeah what a goof his partner dragged him for filth after that it was great #he wants to have lunch tomorrow and then invited bf and i to a jazz in the park picnic thing down in hipsterville after work #and his invitation to help set up the library today involved the phrase 'i want you there!' which yk its nice to be openly wanted #its jamie!

Yknow that post that's like "when someone points out the wrong flaws in a character you hate so you're put in the unfortunate position of having to defend them" because that's me with the beloved 00s sitcom Friends

#'its so awkward without the laugh track!' first of all its not even a laugh track #its a live studio audience #google it #thats why the bloopers also have people laughing #secondly like. yeah???#shockingly the media that was designed around a certain sound element is more awkward and clunky when that element is edited out #'its homophobic/transphobic' this argument ill give a little more grace towards #bc like yeah a lot of the ways that the characters reinforce gender roles/stereotypes on one another is by threat of homophobia #and some of the jokes about chandlers parent are offensive #but it was also literally the first ever show to have a lesbian wedding onscreen in 1996 #(roseanne did an episode on a gay wedding like a month before)#& w all the issues the show has dealing with trans people/drag it was a helluva lot better than almost anything else coming out @the time #for example chandler's trans parent is misgendered by other characters literally constantly #but when we do finally meet them theyre played by a cis woman in drag rather than a cis man in a wig #which yeah isnt perfect but is also much better than most trans representation onscreen at the time #and the character is allowed to be just as complex and sympathetic as any other parent on the show #i would even say moreso than the other parents tbh #'they put monica in a fat suit' yeah thats bad #and especially because of all the demeaning jokes monica is put through even after shes skinny #but the show again also takes the time to explore fat monicas humanity and how shes deserving of love #and explicitly states that her weight/body image issues were explicitly caused by her parents' emotional abuse/neglect #and even if she had stayed fat forever chandler would have still fallen in love with her #bc the show acknowledges that fat monica is not anywhere near deserving of the vitriol she receives from the ppl around her #which again for the time in the 90s/00s was pretty progressive #'theyre all functioning alcoholics' first of all theres an ep where theyre all shocked that the 6 of them went through 2 bottles of wine #and the reason for that is because one character finished one by themselves #secondly point out to me any mainstream sitcom from the last 30 years that doesnt have flagrant alcohol consumption #'they have like 2 black characters in the entire show and poc are treated terribly'#YES!! now we're talking #'ross sucks and ross/rachel is a romanticized depiction of emotional abuse' 10000% agree

I wrote a post about some things I've seen on European tiktok but maybe I won't post it because I'm not in the mood to see a bunch of angry Europeans talking casually about dead American children in retaliation of me pointing out how generous the British grading scale is in comparison to the USAs lmfao

#granted im not dumb enough to think tiktok europeans are a good representation of europe #but there are some cultural things that fascinate me #and i know ppl are kinda sensitive about their country being shit on #and europeans are def not as used to it as americans are #so theyre a little more volatile about criticism #whereas americans are so used to it that weve become pretty self aware #and can agree on a lot of the criticism #while laughing off the stuff thats blatantly untrue #its just wild #someone will be like #heres a lighthearted joke about british people #and then the comments will be nothing but #horrific taunting about real life tragedies that americans have been fighting against for years #like lmao yall need therapy if thats your first response to the tiniest bit of criticism or joking #also im not in the mood to a bunch of people thinking that i think europe is a country because im comparing it to america #like yes i know

I get a lot of "omg you're so nice and non-judgemental you're such a good friend" and "omg dude you're way too nice to this asshole they should not be your friend" from irl friends and family and I don't know how to say this but uh, if you had friends like I had when I was a preteen you learn to count your blessings real fucking quickly and stop being choosy on who you befriend. The bar is six feet under by now if they don't encourage the entire class to boycott me it's a win.

#fweeet #my mom was appalled at the amount of... questionable friends i have these days and this came to me #look some of the friends i had when i was 10-12 included:#2 different girls who on seperate occasions forbade me to eat lunch with anyone else because they got jealous #a group of kids who lowkey for some reason were really into touching eachothers butts??????????????#a girl who made constant sex jokes as a 10 year old and once wrote a story where i got... uh...#two girls who got into an argument so heated they exchange kys notes #THIS BASTARD OF A KID who tore my lunchbox in half and laughed at my face #(also the only person in my lifetime who found a way to bully me in my spine brace with...#lets just say its very painful and i hate being pinched now)#OH MY GOD THE LIST NEVER ENDS #THIS ISNT EVEN INCLUDING YE GRAND MIGHTY YANDERE MOTHERFUCKER SUPREME #THE ASSHOLE WHO HAS MADE QUITE LITERALLY A THIRD OF MY LIFE A LIVING HELL #anyways people ask me why i can stand so many 'fake' people and assholes nowadays especially if theyre my friends #and you see #at some point in life ive learned to think to myself Hey at the end of all things at least im not being actively doxxed on youtube again #mom i understand your concern but i have to unfortunately inform you my current friends are probably the sanest people ive ever met in life

Especially because in the end... Arakawa loses his son in small ways that just Accumulate... but Jo's the one who even gets to outlive his son... AUGH. THROWING MYSELF INTO A WOODCHIPPER

Also while going through old messages, I saw I actually had a dream back in 2021 that Jo came back in LaD8. I mean sure he had "longer hair" and "a new outfit NOBODY liked except me" and was Unserious like RGGJo whereas in the actual teaser he sounds more depressed than ever but I'm still taking credit alright... the vision came to me...

And in a Hell Will Freeze Over Before This Happens I Just Like To Think About It way. I want him in my goddamn party and I have for all of Y7 so it's not related to the new game. I don't care. I want to find out what his favorite flowers are I want to take him to Every Movie and get his commentary on all of it I want to take him out to eat and watch his little itadakimasu animation play out I want to have the most light-hearted and inconsequential conversations and I want him to chime in I want to exhaust every option on his Drink Link I want to unlock his sickass tag-team moves I want to wear True Hero and fight by his side I want to shower him with so much love and affection he won't know what hit him (<- channeling Arakawa tbh)

its just insane because from a metaphorical sense arakawa 'outlives' masato in that he becomes aoki and like. That's One Thing, but then Of Course. There's Jo. //stuffing my mouth with wet cement// like OHHHH the pain never stops it never ends,,

mate i think your brain was just tryna manifest RGGJo to make a come back through y7 ☠️☠️ CREDIT WHERE CREDITS DUE THO BUT DAMN would have been. THE MOST interesting change to his character though.... on the real.... because yeah he just sounds so tired from the trailer so far （；´д｀）would be hilarious if instead of entering a Super Depression arc bro's just. Yeah Alright Fuck It. What Can We Do Now Amirite. walk right out the cell with the white suit and snake-patterned lapels and all ☠️☠️

OK BUT MOST VALID RANT EVER. MOST VALID WANT EVER. would really just have the vibe of dragging your jaded uncle around the city i would died to have that,,, 😭😭
