The Cringe Is Dead Long Live The Cringe

They/Them, Pan+Poly. I have never made a decision in my life and I'll be DAMNED if I'm gonna start now. When I give my opinion on something it's not that I think you need or even want to hear it, or even that it's of any intrest at all. I'm just screaming at the void, it's not my fault you stopped to listen.

Tony's many rouges!

I’m not saying he had the WORST rogues gallery, but it says a lot that the only one to stand the test of time was the blatantly racist caricature.

That's harsh. Why are you ignoring Justin Hammer and The Stanes

Because nature gave me two eyes, and the power to close both of them

“… but you’ll never be able to beat my Servine!

SERVINE: Servine!

ASH: A Servine?

PIKACHU: Pikaa?

SERVINE: Servine.

WHO’S THAT POKEMON?!

———

IT’S SERVINE!

SERVINE: Servine!

SERVINE: Servine.

ASH: That’s Servine, it’s gotta be.”

i like sailing myths and superstitions because most of them can be boiled down to "if the ocean doesn't like you it will chew you up and spit out your bones. and if it really loves you it will swallow you whole and never let you go. good luck 👍"

“Your best bet is a sort of estranged friendship where you’ll say hi if you you bump into each other but never think to actually call or hang out?”

Like now that I am awake I need to reiterate how huge this is. It was presumed harvested to extinction by the Romans. It was a favorite flavoring and according to historians one of the best contraceptives ever known. True or not it would be fantastic to study that but it being extinct made that impossible.

This is such a huge deal! I hope they get it figured how to grow it.

‘bread is bad for you’ ‘rice is bad for you’ sorry im not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. i love you carbs

the x files is funny because at the time it was “progressive” or whatever to have the ultra-rational, levelheaded character be a woman

but it’s also a show where all the fucked up alien shit actually is real, so she’s just constantly wrong about everything

What’s funny is how often they’re both wrong. Mulder will be like “the victims all had their livers scooped clean out this is obviously the aliens escalating from cattle mutilation” and Scully will be like “don’t be silly Mulder this is clearly just a serial killer who’s really good with surgical tools” and then it turns out the actual killer is an immortal sewer man who comes out ever quarterly century to feast on human liver.

I cannot stress enough that this is literally the plot of an actual episode
