Hi Neil,

How much has your work been inspired by Goncharov (1973)?

The whole of Season 2 of Good Omens was inspired by Goncharov. Dottie and Sadie, Aziraphale and Crowley's wives, were basically my take on Perdita and Brigitte, the two tourists who worked in the condom factory, and the whole Goncharov helium balloons and clowns sequence. For that matter, without Goncharov it would never have occurred to me to have made the comedy in episode 4 the fact that Dottie and Sadie and their husbands have unknowingly all been booked in the same hotel room, or to have had the Archangel Gabriel played by a chinchilla. Yes.

happy summer to dykes in tank tops and basketball shorts, goths who's makeup is melting, little kids catching frogs and fireflies, guys who just bring their guitar everywhere now, 13 yr olds very obviously in their emo phase during a family vacation, gas station employees, old people sitting on porches, and dogs swimming at the beach

you see. a lot of people on this site have started to use “broke containment” when any post gets popular outside of their circle of friends, but its original use was when it was a vague fandom post (usually supernatural) gets reblogged by people outside the fandom

Look, rather than being petty and destroying it, why not talk to the girl. Really ask them why they are using the confederate flag. But no, low level terrorism is the answer.

LOW LEVEL TERRORISM?

Morally correct

I wanna be a story teller when I grow up. I wanna travel and call all the children of the village around me and sit by a fireplace and tell them stories they’ve all heard before but want to hear again. I want the adults to line the back of the room and pretend like they aren’t equally as enthralled and I want the village crazy lady to come up to me after wards, while I’m having a warm bowl of soup and she’ll tell me her story that I’ll retell in the next town I travel to. I want my stories to be the highlight of a cold winter day and I want elderly men and women coming up to me after saying “I remember that one from when I was a kid”

freshman year of college I (a simple lesbian) met a gay dude and we instantly clicked and started talking about our childhoods and stuff and discovered we were born in the same hospital on the same day so we became each other's beards and watched hentai together every weekend

That sentence started and ended in very different places

guy who conceptually confuses renfaire and pride

renfaire is what pride wishes it could be. Public sex and debauchery, more of it gay than you'd think. It gets a pass for being nerd shit so nobody really does discourse posts about whether it's cool to get a handjob from a stacked blonde in a barely-historically-justified bodice, saying "zounds" when you ejaculate, etc

By contrast pride is what renfaire wants in its heart to be: a raucous and fashionable party sterilized and made barely-respectable by an endless tide of corporate charitable-giving graft, a form of public education and a frustrating yet irreplaceable thread in the tapestry of historical memory. All things under Heaven contain their opposites

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.

Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.

That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.

(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)

There are a lot of interesting things about this post but the AK-47 shaped spear is what really got me

This is just as wild with the context

Some of my favorite moments in the series
