Oh god, why didn’t you just let him through?
when people see this guy coming and shout "duck" they mean it
Weekly Yuru-tetsu~ Orga: I've heard there's a custom where you gift sweets to someone you like! So today I'm gifting you guys sweet treats! crowd: yay! yay! Mika: Then, I'll give you mine, Orga. Orga: ....Mika! Takaki: Then I'll give mine to the Boss, too! Eugene: Well then, mine too. Shino: Mine too... crowd: *mine too* Orga: You guys...! Orga: Then I'll give it back to you guys!! crowd: Yayy!!! [back to the second panel] Kudelia: This is...family! (Tekkadan learning new customs and assimilating them in their own way is quite possibly the cutest thing ever)
I had an idea last night for a character in a comic/graphic novel who for no reason has obnoxiously huge speech bubbles to the point of everyone else noticing and getting visibly annoyed/worried whenever they’re about to speak. The panel has to expand just to read what they’re saying.

Something that will help you cope with your frustration with society is knowing that trends exist on a swing set. Things will always swing one way to the furthest extreme before swinging back to the opposite extreme.
Look at pants. We got them tighter and tighter until they couldn't get any more tight, then swung back to JNKOs, then invented jeggings, and now we're back to baggy pants.
Shoes: Thin stilettos to wide chunky platforms to stilettos to platforms again. Nails. Eyelashes. Hair. As big as you can get them, as crazy as you can, then simple and tiny again, then back to big.
And every once in a while new technology is invented and we have to use it on absolutely everything, even if it's stupid, until we get annoyed with ourselves and cut it out.
Then once decade as a new one comes around we get delusions about Entering A New Age and get funky with it for a bit.
That's it. That's all. We're just going through the cycles.
i dont even know arknights. jalter is like a goth comrade to me at this point
i entirely get why people are like "actually knights were historically land-owning nobles waging war on people" and reminding people that idealised modern conceptions of knights are not historically accurate, it's just really really funny given that people have been idealising the institution of knighthood since like. the twelfth century or earlier, go take it up with fucking chrétien de troyes
(in fact i would argue that when most modern people refer to "medieval knights" they are not in fact referring to the historical institution of knighthood at all, but to the literary tradition of knights as found in chivalric romance, and therefore thinking of them as hot men who rescue damsels and defend the weak is not inaccurate, as long as one recognises that this is a literary knight and not a historical knight, and also that this knight probably still commits wildly horrifying murders every now and again and doesn't really respect women despite rescuing them)
lotta people reblogging this with tags about how the modern concept has drifted so far from the historical reality that the term has lost its meaning or whatever but that's completely missing the point i was trying to make. i'm saying that that idealised fantasy has been there *all along*. practically as soon as you get a formalised institution of knighthood, you've got people writing stories about how cool and sexy and chivalrous knights are. it's not that the modern conception as found in fantasy novels has drifted, it's that the modern conception has always been based on chivalric romance more than on reality.
the literary history of knights is a different strand of history than the historical reality of knights and that is the history that many people are responding to; it remains a historical idea and concept even if it has always been a literary one. "correcting" people's understanding of literary knights with reference to historically 'accurate' knights is, most of the time, comparing apples and oranges and then complaining that the 'apple' has segments when it was in fact always an orange

I’ve seen people pass around the “hold up, I’m googlin’ something” image but it cropped out the part where he was googling “how many guys can one guy take”
this page, in isolation, is possibly the funniest thing i have seen in any manga
get ready for an exuberant summer
Reblog to experience an exuberant summer.
-Make one of the best Gundam shows of all time
-Add a well-done lesbian romance
-Design some really cool Mobile Suits
-Have an easy hook for another 25 episodes
-Make a shit ton of money from just 25 episodes of the show and the Gunpla
-Cut the show short, force a rushed and unsatisfying ending, try to deny the romance happened, and have the cool Mobile Suits not do anything, thereby not making more profit from another season and more Gunpla sales
I just really have to wonder what Bandai’s thought process was here.
Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised. Every year, researchers try to predict the four influenza strains that are most likely to be prevalent during the upcoming flu season. And every year, people line up to get their updated vaccine, hoping the researchers formulated the shot correctly. The same is true of COVID vaccines, which have been reformulated to target sub-variants of the most prevalent strains circulating in the U.S. This new strategy would eliminate the need to create all these different shots, because it targets a part of the viral genome that is common to all strains of a virus. The vaccine, how it works, and a demonstration of its efficacy in mice is described in a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “What I want to emphasize about this vaccine strategy is that it is broad,” said UCR virologist and paper author Rong Hai. “It is broadly applicable to any number of viruses, broadly effective against any variant of a virus, and safe for a broad spectrum of people. This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”
