Forky: Huh? I think it’s there cause Bonnie likes rainbows.
Fear: Who’s Bonnie?
Forky: My kid, I think. Bonnie Anderson. She’s the one who made me.
Fear: Hey, my Riley’s last name is Andersen. Does that mean we’re related?
Forky: uhh, I don’t think…
Fear: Brother!
Forky: HELP!!

Kinda confused as to why Bendis is using Plas over Elongated Man in a Detective event but I guess he really wants to write him or something.
My guess?
Elongated Man is running crowd control with Booster Gold because Batman told him "We don't need 2 stretchy guys."
god it rly cracks me up to think about the snikt family because laura logan and gabby are all like, gremlins who eat pasta with their claws and cut up their faces doing it and daken is the only one who cares about like. good food and nice clothes and shit and he really stands out in the family pictures
For the longest time I assumed I was one of the “only” people who knew about the classic Humongous Entertainment adventure games that hit Mac and PC through the 90′s and early 2000′s. Of course, like everyone on the internet when they say “only” they did something as a kid, I was dead wrong in this. Plenty of people had fond memories of the adventures of Pajama Sam, Spy Fox, Freddie Fish and Putt Putt (And even the weirder stragglers, like Buzzy or Fatty Bear). There’s no way that my specific situation is unique, there’s in all likelihood thousands of people out there who played them the exact way I did even, on my parents lime green iMac, with the single button mouse, clicking on the sight gags way past the point of them being funny, but still laughing anyway. I wanted to do a series of posts on this franchise for a couple of reasons. For one, all these games are short as heck, good luck getting one of these classic Junior Adventures to last you longer than forty or so minutes. That short length is a boon to me, wanting to do a retrospective of an entire multi character franchise, because essentially, it’s manageable. Another reason is, well, I love these games. I love Freddie Fish’s weird underwater environments that never really make sense, but always end up reliably interesting to explore. I love Pajama Sams surreal artwork and settings, being based on a child’s imagination to the point that the worlds of reality and the one in the characters head bleed together in the background artwork. I especially love the absurdly nonchalant plots in the Putt Putt games, that has a car, which is also a child, doing everything from launching to the moon one day, traveling through time the next, and then just going to the zoo another. I don’t know precisely the order I’m going to go in, nor how frequently these will be written, but I hope to keep focused enough to get through all of them. There’s even a few closer to the end of the franchise that I’ve never actually seen or played any of at all, so those will be especially interesting to visit. I hope anyone reading this enjoys this idea as much as I do, because I can’t believe I didn’t think of it before now.
So I was playing Dynasty Warriors 6 and I noticed this….
Dynasties Drives-In’s and Dives.
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE FUCK DANNY PHANTOM’S SKIN GETS MORE TAN WHEN HE TURNS INTO A MOTHERFUCKIN GHOST
Electricity. He burn.

I hope this clears things up
It’s on my dash. The original post. Of toast the ghost

so i found a toy story short stories collection in barnes and noble today and one of the stories was buzz telling a space ranger story and inserting woody and rex into it. needless to say those who created woody in star command headcanons will be pleased to know what his outfit looks like and that he is buzz’s lieutenant :)
There are some childrens shows you don't want to know about, i know i wish i'd never known about them.
the one with the baby sun?
That is one but i also have memories of one show with creepy 3D models (I don’t remember the entire name i believe it was something with “Ms. spiders” and then something else) and when i was younger i liked it but looking back it creeps me out to no end.
tHE SPIDER THING OH GOD I SAW A CLIP OF THAT GOD NO
Yeah, thing is that was one of my favorite shows from what i can remember. I don’t know what was wrong with me.
I found the name, it’s “Miss spider’s sunny patch friends”.
this guy

This was my childhood. W H Y
OH LORD THIS LOOKS LIKE HEXADECIMAL FROM REBOOT
If that brown dog IS BUD I’m going to die
Original Bud Flood
Since everyone from the “original show” is supposed to be actors in the Ducktales 2017 universe, that means these guys all have normal non-villian civilian identities and have aged just like Jim Starling
How absolutely great would it be if the plot currently would end up needing to gather up the old crew and they have to take down Jim themselves or something?
Could you just imagine these guys, the actors, coming out of retirement for this convoluted thing, and it’s just like:
“Hey man, that was just TV magic, we’re ordinary guys, what do you expect us to do?”
Now that you mention it, that would absolutely FLIPPING awesome
Oh man, I am just thinking up so much possibilities for an arc like that and I really don’t want to hype myself up for something that isn’t going to likely happen. Again.
Y'know, the worst part right now is that I have to wait until September until any more information to back this theory, which is all fine and dandy and gives me time to plant some seedlings, but I should note that I literally have no sensual concept of time, and I don’t know how y'all do that.
This spark is going to consume my brain like a wildfire as I try to connect the dots.
That said
If we got “Jim”:
Then I must assume that the others are named similarly to thier original VAs’ names
Ducktales 2017 QuackerJack’s in-universe “actor” is now “Mike” by that logic.
How awesome would it be if Megavolt and Quackerjack's actors were a couple?
I also, really, REALLY wanna hear Mike Bell as Quackerjack fighting Negaduck.
...and I wanna hear Liquidator speak in advertisements again.
OKAY APPARENTLY THE DOOMSDAY VAULT IS AN ACTUAL PLACE CALLED THE SVALBARD GLOBAL SEED VAULT GOD I LOVE THIS SHOW
My half-paying attention brain didn’t register that comment right away while scrolling and I just thought this was some computer brain box in the middle of the arctic that Dewey and Della stumbled upon despite the fact that I knew the context
Of course, there’s the two most notable: Canonverse (our main boy, who also is the comic canon variation) and Negaverse (our sweet boy)
Then there’s the Darkwing Doubloon Universe (aka: Pirate AU), and Ducktales 2017 Universe
Barring differences due to art styles, we can assume that each and every confirmed QuackerJack is virtually identical, meaning there is nothing to disprove that the Bowling Ball Universe QuackerJack looks exactly like this as well.
Therefore, a theory: The physical appearance of QuackerJack is the one constant anchor point in all the Infinite Darkwing Universes, regardless of universe theme. Every single universe, regardless of time or setting, will have at least one (1) QuackerJack.
o.o or he travels to each dimension cause he is the ONLY quackerjack in the entire multiverse
but your completely right
He already built like two models of a time machines and has traveled to both the past (to destroy yoyos from history) and future (to get his hands on some “particle beam fuzzy bears”). He’s literally officially referred to as a mad genius in his profiles.
There’s nothing to disprove that he hasn’t built some sort of interdimensional gate to other universes before. He could very well have hopped universes at some point.
There’s nothing to disprove that we aren’t dealing with a “Rick and Morty” sort of infinite universes situation where QuackerJack has access to infinite possibilities and infinite collective like minds.
is quackerjack the new shaggy? will he use his 0.0000000000000001% power on the world to release chaos???
Even when stripped of his abilities, QuackerJack still has the stamina and determination to take on something that’s like 20x his size
He can also survive intense heat and straight up voltage with very little visible damage to his mortal form
He can also bring inanimate objects to life
Survive impact damage like it’s just a small tumble and can contort into interesting angles
And there’s much to be said about his elasticity and rubber-like physical qualities
Even if he can’t defeat Shaggy easily, he’s still ready to throw down and bounce back.
It will be a glorious battle worthy of five minutes stretched over eight episodes.
QUACKERJACK IS THE NEW SHAGGY CONFIRMED XD
Just like to point out that in the comics he became more serious... so yeah, everyone better run for your lives.
Oh man, OOF, but also Respect, that’s a huge ass decision to make but I think it’ll be great PR for them if they can make it better.
Props dudes 👍 best of luck
Guys, PLEASE don’t treat this as an admirable decision. What this change basically amounts to is a HUGE amount of overtime for the animators without any delays in the release schedule nor changes to the budget, it’s a decision HE can make bc it won’t personally affect him but it will affect the animators. Even worse, supporting this decision could send the message to other companies that we’ll support practices like this in the future.
It actually won’t. The actual animation is not changing, the model its being applied to is changing. Thats not what animators do, thats what artists and modellers do, the lions share of the work is theirs. Its not going to be zero work, because nothing ever is, but there are numerous professionals who responded to that tweet pointing out how its actually not a hugely difficult or undoable job for CGI, because they’re just going to apply the animation they already have to a new model and touch it up where they need to. We SHOULD support practices like this in future, we SHOULD support companies actually listening to their audiences and providing a better quality product/service as a result beforehand, not cocking it up and issuing an apology after. So lets not try and drag down this godsend of a change with phrases like “huge overtime” or imply its going to be ruinous to anyone (especially based on no evidence) because according to actual animators who work on films like this, that is simply not true.
Reblogging cuz ^^^this^^^ is IMPORTANT to know!
sick burn
I’VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS VIDEO FOR MONTHS
I AM LITERALLY WHEEZING OVER HERE
I think we're missing the obvious here.
Kaiba was alone when he said that...
It's like he can't turn his edgy comebacks off. Like imagine all of the oneliners we AREN'T hearing because Kaiba isn't onscreen 24/7!
*Kaiba's Blue Eyes White Dragon cookie sinks into milk mid-dunk*
Kaiba: Tch... you were too weak for me to eat, anyways...
“CURSE YOU FIGUARTS YAMCHA! You were late for our date night AGAIN?! I’m leaving you!”
So Bootleg Golden Frieza headed out into the world looking for a new romance… but things weren’t as easy as he’d thought.
“Hey there pretty lady!”
“I’m in high school you creep!”
“OH NO!!!!!”
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this is worse than hell!”
Eventually Bootleg Golden Frieza hit rock bottom and tried to drown his loneliness in cheap food and cheaper vodka… Until…
“It’s-a me! Mario! Get some self respect and pull yourself together, Bootleg Golden Frieza! You don’t need a relationship to define you! You can be happy while you’re single!”
“Seriously, you’re telling me to be happy about being single when you’re dressed for a wedding, Amiibo Mario? …but the irony of that aside, you give good advice.”
“Yes! Forget Figuarts Yamcha! I’m gonna take some me time and focus on getting to know myself and not worry about being in a relationship-”
“Oh hey Bootleg Golden Frieza! I wanted to apologize and give you a gift! It’s a tiny statue of you, because I know there’s one thing you love more than anything- and that’s yourself!”
“…apology accepted. That IS a nice statue.”
THE END.
I’m bored.
He’s gonna catch ‘em all cuz he’s Danny Phantom
He’s gonna catch ‘em all cuz he’s Danny Phantom

Cuz he’s-
hey op this is beautiful
what. why? someone pls explain to me pls i wasnt born yet in 1999 why turn computer off before midnight? what happen if u dont?
y2k lol everyone was like “the supervirus is gonna take over the world and ruin everything and end the world!!!”
This is the oldest I’ve ever felt. Right now.
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU WEREN’T BORN YET IN 1999.
Ahh the Millenium bug.
It wasn’t a virus, it was an issue with how some old computers at the time were programmed to deal with dates. Basically some computers with older operating systems didn’t have anything in place to deal with the year reaching 99 and looping around to 00. It was believed that this inability to sync with the correct date would cause issues, and even crash entire systems the moment the date changed.
People flipped out about it, convinced that the date discrepancy between netwoked systems would bring down computers everywhere and shut down the internet and so all systems relying on computers, including plane navigation etc. would go down causing worldwide chaos. It was genuinely believed that people should all switch off computers to avoid this. One or two smart people spoke up and said “um hey, this actually will only effect a few very outdated computers and they’ll just display the wrong date, so it probably won’t be harmful” but were largely ignored because people selling books about the end of the world were talking louder.
In the end, absolutely nothing happened.
Oh gosh.
I’ve been a programmer working for various government agencies since the early 1990s and I can say with some confidence:
NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE WE WORKED VERY HARD FIXING SHIT THAT MOST DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE BROKEN ON 1-JAN-2000.
One example I personally worked on: vaccination databases.
My contract was with the CDC to coordinate immunization registries — you know, kids’ vaccine histories. What they got, when they got it, and (most importantly) which vaccines they were due to get next and when. These were state-wide registries, containing millions of records each.
Most of these systems were designed in the 1970s and 1980s, and stored the child’s DOB year as only two digits. This means that — had we not fixed it — just about every child in all the databases I worked on would have SUDDENLY AGED OUT OF THE PROGRAM 1-JAN-2000.
In other words: these kids would suddenly be “too old” to receive critical vaccines.
Okay, so that’s not a nuke plant exploding or airplanes dropping from the sky. In fact, nothing obvious would have occurred come Jan 1st.
BUT
Without the software advising doctors when to give vaccinations, an entire generation’s immunity to things like measles, mumps, smallpox (etc) would have been compromised. And nobody would even know there was a problem for months — possibly years — after.
You think the fun & games caused by a few anti-vaxers is bad?
Imagine whole populations going unvaccinated by accident… one case of measles and the death toll might be measured in millions.
This is one example I KNOW to be true, because I was there.
I also know that in the years leading up to 2000 there were ad-hoc discussion groups (particularly alt.risk) of amazed programmers and project managers that uncovered year-2000 traps… and fixed them.
Quietly, without fanfare.
In many cases because admitting there was a problem would have resulted in a lawsuit by angry customers. But mostly because it was our job to fix those design flaws before anyone was inconvenienced or hurt.
So, yeah… all that Y2K hysteria was for nothing, because programmers worked their asses off to make sure it was for nothing.
Bolding mine.
Absolutely true. My Mom worked like crazy all throughout 1998 and 1999 on dozens of systems to avoid Y2K crashes. Nothing major happened because people worked to made sure it didn’t.
Now if we could just harness that concept for some of the other major issues facing us today.
this meme came so far since i saw it this morning. god i love tumblr teaching tumblr about history.
As a young Sys Admin during Y2K, I can confirm that it was SRS BZNS. I worked for a major pharmaceutical company at the time. They spent millions of dollars on consultant and programmer hours, not to mention their own employees’ time, to fix all their in-house software as well as replace it with new systems. Sys Admins like myself were continually deploying patches, updating firmware, and deploying new systems in the months leading up to Y2K. Once that was done, though, the programmers went home and cashed their checks.
When the FATEFUL HOUR came along, it wasn’t just one hour. For a global company with offices in dozens of countries, it was 24 hours of being alert and on-call. I imagine that other large organizations had similar setups with entire IT departments working in shifts to monitor everything. Everyone was on a hair trigger, too, so the slightest problem caused ALL HANDS ON DECK pages to go out.
Yes, we had pagers.
For hard numbers IDC’s 2006 calculation put the total US cost of remediation, before and after, at $147 billion - that’s in 1999 dollars. That paid for an army of programmers, including calling up retired grandparents from the senior center because COBOL and FORTRAN apps from the ‘60s needed fixing.
Also note that there were some problems, including $13 billion in remediation included in the figure above. Some of these involved nuclear power plants, medical equipment, and “a customer at a New York State video rental store had a bill for $91,250, the cost of renting the movie ‘The General’s Daughter’ for 100 years.”
Y2K was anything but nothing.
tfw you do your job so fucking well that everyone thinks you weren’t necessary in the first place :(
salute our COBOL cowpokes and other Y2K wranglers, they saved all our asses
another important lesson we learned: a shitload of stuff in the ‘90s was still running programs from the ‘60s and ‘70s. it’s hard to justify the expense and trouble of a massive upgrade when things are working “fine” – easier to say “well, I suppose we’ll need to change at some point, but not now”
and if things really are working “fine” you can let them go on for a while but every so often you run into something like Y2K where the software simply wasn’t designed to handle certain eventualities. can’t really blame the programmers, either. if you were writing shit in the ‘60s, would you expect people to still be using it in the science-fiction year of 2000? that’s not a real year! you might be dead by then!
so, y’know, you don’t always need the latest and greatest for everything you’re doing – how much power do you really need for an inventory system? – but regular upgrades are a Good Idea
nerds quietly saving the world. this is superhero nonsense i love it
Holy shit so THIS was why my older cousins were saying all the computers were going to die and four year old me was like “what.”
Within a certain FTSE 100 retailer, I worked on the millennium bug project for over 8 months to make sure that none of our 2,400 mainframe programs would crash. Out of those, over 900 needed changing and testing.
On New Year even while others were out drinking and being merry, my colleague and I sat in a dark room together until 5am keeping one eye on our computer screens, and the other on a large TV I’d brought in for movies.
Rest of the world: Nothing went wrong! hahah
Me: You’re welcome.
Thank you for your service
Reblogging because I didn't know about the programmers' hard work, and now wish to show my appreciation.
This week, the Library of Congress is launching a free, online archive of webcomics collected from across the internet meant to highlight the medium’s contribution to the arts and modern American culture.
Comics have always played a critical role in giving illustrators and writers the ability to turn their thoughts and feelings about societal shifts into works of art, but where the traditional comics industry has, historically, been very insular and exclusive, webcomics have been comparatively open and easily accessible.
Speaking to The Washington Post, congressional librarian Megan Halsband explained how she saw the archive’s creation as an opportunity to highlight voices that tend to be marginalized within traditional comics circles.
“Webcomics are an increasingly popular format utilized by contemporary creators in the field and often include material by artists not available elsewhere,”she said. “I tried to collect female creators because we don’t have a lot of them historically in the mainstream collection.”
Comics like Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half, Yale Stewart’s JL8, and Lucy Knisely’s Stop Paying Attention are now available for viewing at the Library of Congresses website. While there are only about 40 or so comics included in the archive, the Library of Congress plans on gradually expanding its collection.
Niiice
This is extremely important because 1) Webcomics are capable of using the medium of “Internet” far more effectively than traditional print. We’re talking utilizing flowing textures to convey a sense of an eternally shifting entity (e.g if Watchmen had been a webcomic you know Alan Moore would have had Rorschach’s mask constantly warping like it was in the movie), utilizing the whole webpage rather than just the traditional comic borders, a sense of wrongness by utilizing programming (e.g. the panels where the reader’s attention are likely to be directed becoming corrupted as you scroll forcing you to read it in an indirect manner.) 2) Because webcomics are self-published they are not bound by the rules of the industrial media. and 3) Since webcomics are put out quicker and distributed faster they tend to be more topical than traditional media.
ooooOOOOOOO
Bring on the biracial thunder babies.
Thororo is the best ship name ever.
I ship this SO hard.
This is possibly one of the greatest pieces of comic art ever made.
I never knew I needed this ship in my life
Hopefully we’ll see this in the next Marvel Reboot or new Universe.

PLEASE CAN WE HAVE BAKURA AND MALIK AS YZMA AND KRONK?
i hate you all
THIS JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER. All I need is Grandpa as the guy who breaks Kaiba’s groove.
“You threw off my groove!”
“I’m sorry, but you’ve thrown off the CEO’s groove.”
What’s next… Bakura becoming a cat?
“Don’t listen to that guy. He’s trying to lead you down the path of righteousness.”
“I’m gonna lead you down the path that rocks!”
What would that make Joey???
“Kurikurikuri??”
“No nonONONONONONO-”
“KURIK URIRIRHR!?”
THIS KEEPS GETTING BETTER OMFG
Ok just go ahead and redraw the movie scene by scene
So, would the jaguars be Beast-type monsters or Dragon-types?
“Get them!”
“Hey, I’ve been turned into a penguin. Can I go home?”
“You’re excused.”
Instead of a giant trampoline, it’s magical cylinder.
“For the last time, we did not order a Magic Cylinder!”
“You know pal, you could have told me that before I set it up.”
i hate all 126,000 of you
it just keeps getting better and better.
Top quality content on my dash
Would the two guys playing a board game be playing Dungeon Dice Monsters?
“Hey Yugi, you just missed your relatives.”
“Yeah, we just sent them up to your house.”
“Hate your hair. Your hair. And your hair. Annnnd…”
“Lemme guess, you have a great personality.”

good god I wish I can suggest ideas to this but I know jack shit bout this show
Last time I saw this Yami Marik had just been added. Seeing the future additions I have to reblog it this time.
@ubersaur im sure youve seen this already but just in case
oh my goodness! i’m dying! 😂
