These things come to me in the middle of the night... EVERYTIME.
anime twunk slade in my adventures with superman is so funny to me and I think people who definitely do not read or think about deathstroke getting mad at it made me like it more lmao cause it made me realize a very silly detail
it’s a story about Clark starting out as Superman so everyone is younger than their comic counterparts. That means that this young, but still clearly Adult Man’s actual arch-nemesises are currently kindergarteners, still with their parents at the circus or a few years from turning green. Which. just very funny in general.
It also means, I realized, that he still has both eyes. This is Slade early in his mercenary career, seemingly post experimentation but pre eyeloss. Which is a very specific time period in his backstory that means he has a very funny trait for an edgy floppy-banged white-haired anime man:
He is currently married but (not by his choice) absolutely not going to stay that way.
it turns out about to be divorced is literally the funniest possible characteristic for a shonen villain to Me. I literally can’t stop calling him pre-divorce era Slade.
Oooo he’s edgy he’s dangerous he’s about to get shot in the face by his (absolutely justified) wife.
This man has at least one possibly two very young sons at home. He’s currently fighting Superman to avoid parenting. He is not going to get visitation rights and he Will be dodging child support payments.
Will they change it and make his eye related to Superman for narrative reasons, not covering his family stuff? I hope not but possibly. Until that happens though Schrödinger’s pathetic loser here having two eyes means his wife divorcing him is literally always impending.
thinking about Pokémon Go Summer (again) and how it likely blew up so much because adults finally had an excuse to Go Outside And Play in a way that met them where they are. Like, over time the ever-present threat of public humiliation/being filmed for some bastard's TikTok has done such a number on folk that some can't just relax and goof around and express themselves anymore, limiting their outdoor play to organised sports or maybe a yearly game of Frisbee In The Park. But to have an excuse to be playing outside on your phone? Something literally everyone is doing all the time? With a globally recognisable and easily accessible media property? Having a reason to be curious and explore your local surroundings, and talk to strangers in your environment, even if that reason is something as trivial as "there's a Dragonite over there"? Inspired. World-changing. Shame Niantic fucked it so hard
nooo tbe cigarete got gender dyspjoria :(((((((
It's nice seeing the reddit users realize they can relax here. The danger on reddit is trying to guard against a broader community of annoying pedants. But understand that here, the danger is trying to guard against Wandering Savants.
If you fuck up on reddit, you get 1000 people correcting your grammar or w/e. If you fuck up here, you get one really smart weirdo writing a 10,000 word essay intricately disassembling your post with sources.
btw if u like v/a/c/c/u/m/i/n/g all the puppy dogys fucking hate u

BEST FRIENDS WEAR EACH OTHER ON THEIR FEET.
HAH! When I was working on character/prop design on Arthur, the script just said that Buster showed up in his pajamas. But since it struck me that Arthur’s pajama design included bunny slippers… and his best friend was a bunny, it seemed fitting to include Aardvark slippers on Buster’s pajama design.
Apparently the storyboard artist was amused and he featured the slippers in a closeup! I was so proud!

Nobody should be using GPT detectors for anything important.
This is from a recent study that found that GPT detectors were misclassifying writing by non-native English speakers as AI-generated 48-76% of the time (!!!), compared to 0%-12% for native speakers.
It is irresponsible to use AI-generated text detectors as evidence of academic misconduct, and that's putting it mildly.
Whenever I see anything like this my first thought is that @thebibliosphere will know what these words mean.
Unfortunately, you would be correct.
“Vampire facials”, which many people think is needling but is actually far, far worse, refers to platelet-rich plasma facials, in which blood is taken from a patient, processed in a centrifuge to extract the plasma and then re-injected it into the face. It’s supposed to make the skin “heal” itself because of platelets or some shit, giving you a more youthful look. Kim K helped make it popular after it was on her show but I know she also supposedly regrets it.
It’s uh, controversial to say the least. And not just because it sounds like painful bullshit but because lack of regulation for this sort of thing has lead to a couple of cases of HIV transmission happening.
The penis version is that they’re doing the exact same thing, taking plasma from themselves or a donor and injecting it into the penile tissue, supposedly to treat erectile dysfunction, but a lot of the men doing this are doing it just to get a girthier look.
And if you think I hate knowing all this, you’d be right.
i hope you’re proud of yourself Joy.
god it is three in the morning and i can't go to bed without inking like several dozen flowers but holy fuck yall
guess you need to see this too huh
