it’s funny how quickly you get desensitized to comic book nonsense like mister sinister is an insane name for a fictional character it’s so goofy but when i read his name i’m like this is not a laughing matter. we’re talking about cyclops’ traumatic secret laser beam eyeball orphanage surgery backstory. stop laughing.
Muppet fact of the day: One of the Muppet show’s pilot episodes was called “The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence”, but the Muppets are owned by Disney now and Disney really doesn’t like the word “sex” so they insist on just calling it “the Muppet Show Pilot”
anyway reblog this forbidden image of Jim Henson in front of the Sex and Violence title card to make Disney mad

have i mentioned lately i love him
it really sounds like he's repeating something obi-wan said to him in exasperation like "anakin, you wouldn't know a metaphor if it bit you" and he internalized that phrase lol
You just know that Obi-Wan has said this over and over for years, every time tries to use a metaphor and Anakin just looks at him like he's speaking nonsense.
Then years later he tells Luke that he'll take to flying "like a duck to water", and Luke replies, "what's a duck?" and it hurts his soul <3 (an actual exchange in the 'A New Hope' novelisation)
iconic moment yes and he even muses "you are much like your father" lol clearly he's having flashbacks to anakin's relentlessly literal brain
When you are used to the no-nonsense, no-context approach of medieval Irish stories, trying to read Old Norse saga literature does feel kind of like you're being told a medieval story by Uncle Colm from Derry Girls.
#you know young thorgrim as it was #ah this wouldn't be the thorgrim who was thorstein's son #THAT thorgrim lived on the other side of the fjord #or WAS it that thorgrim? #no it was the other thorgrim #his father was thorstein too you see but he was quite a different man #although you wouldn't know it to look at his farm #a mess of a place it was #i said to him thorstein i said you need to start asking thorgrim to help you more #and he said they've a haunting #would you believe it! #a haunting! #it would have been around then or was it the winter after that when they had the famine #no i think it was that winter #and a young man arrived. a warrior he was. #i never knew his father but his father's uncle— (via @trans-cuchulainn)
If this were a medieval Irish story, it would be more like:
"There was an excellent warrior, Thorir his name. He was fostered by Thorstein, who had a son called Thorgrim, but it was not an auspicious time for their farm, because there was a haunting there. When Thorir saw the dead man, he tied a withe around its feet, but it pursued him anyway. Then he performed the sword-feat, and cut the man into many pieces. He took his head and went back to Thorgrim mac Thorstein. 'O fosterbrother,' he said, 'I have killed the man who was haunting you, that is, the revenant.' Thorgrim said, 'This is a great deed.' And that is why that place is called Hill of the Dead Man."
And we will never find out who any of these people are or what was up with the revenant or what Thorir was trying to achieve with the withe -- or even who the revenant was before he was dead.
Meanwhile in the Norse saga we're still learning his family tree and Thorir hasn't even shown up yet.

☑ thinking about the scene in dooku: jedi lost where yoda and dooku are discussing a jedi named yula braylon who secretly had a son and hid him out of fear that the jedi would hate her for it, aka the exact fear anakin had with padme in rots, and yoda confirmed that if she had told the council, the council would have helped her, just like they would have helped anakin:
my poison ivy hot take is i actually think she would be some kind of weird carnivore rather than a vegetarian because she only really has empathy for plants and sees most people as meat sacks i think she would eat people is what i'm saying. what i'm saying is they should let her do sexy lesbian cannibalism
op i have some excellent news for you
merlin and arthur's dynamic is so funny like. merlin was completely arthur's moral compass while merlin's own moral compass was. a sewing needle with a fridge magnet
Arthur: you're a noble man, Merlin, I know you have Camelot's best interest in your heart and I trust you to always guide me with wisdom
Merlin: kill the child
yeah so my girlfriend told me the bad news
the moral of nimona is that the government sucks and weird little trans girls should be allowed to kill anyone who wrongs them
Finally! Sonic is dead. 🦔💙🤣
Playing this little April Fools game made me re-fall in love with the Sonic characters, so I had to draw them! 🥰
Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.
Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing
This image is so so fucking important to me
Reblog this, cowards
Fourth issue! Recently a friend of mine was criticising someone else for saying they watched a tiktok and thought they could be demisexual. and while i dont think that app is the best option for sexual education, it is true nobody at any point in my education talked about asexuality as an identity of many people, i really owe my realisation to being in fandoms and reading entire wikis about my favorite characters.
ID: a digital comic that consists of four panels, and features an anthropomorphic cat looking at their phone. The first panel shows a blue rectangle with text that reads "Trivia/ This character is asexual."; below the rectangle, the cat looks shocked at the text and asks themselves: "'Asexual'?". In the next panel, the cat is looking around while saying out loud "What does that mean? Isn't it a kind of reproduction... ?". In the third panel, the cat is hastily researching the word asexual in a search bar, some screenshots of the results are shown in the panel, regarding asexuality as a sexual identity instead of a form of reproduction. In the last panel, the background is the asexual pride flag, while the cat says outloud "Wait. That's me". End ID.
