If I had a nickel for every time a gay angel was sent to super something because he was in love with his best friend, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
HE DID IT. MESSI WORLD CUP CHAMPION. ARGENTINA WORLD CUP CHAMPION 🇦🇷
the corinthian is THE character ever. motherfucker has sauce for days. he’s a nightmare personified chilling on earth. he drives a convertible. he eats eyeballs but he doesn’t even do it with the teeth he has in place of his eyes. he charms everyone he meets. he’s a keynote speaker at a serial killer convention. he was even gay.
stop casting famous people for romance movies
stop casting famous people in movies
stop casting for movies, let it be randomly selected, like jury service. "sorry can't legally come to work today, I'm the new batman"

tried drawing SNW!Jim cuz his actor is a cutie and I'm really looking forward to seeing how he'll play my baby boy <333
I can’t believe it’s nearly 2022! Feels just like any other day.
Please tell me that I’m not the only one who will refuse to call facebook “meta”.
I literally live in fandom spaces, if I search “meta” somewhere and facebook appears first I’m going to personally go kick zuckerberg’s ass.

Okay okay but here’s the thing.
MetaCompany put out a PUBLIC CEASE AND DESIST.
So i googled this letter and found it very suspect
- That letter is from https://meta.company/ and, if you visit it, you’ll notice the site has almost nothing on it. Just the letter and three links to social media sites
- The linked sites, which are twitter, facebook, and instagram, all had their accounts created around November 1, 2021, after Facebook announced their rebrand. Each account has a single post publicizing the letter
- The social media accounts’ usernames are “therealmetacompany” rather than something more professional as you would expect from an official company account
- It is unclear what MetaCompany does
- It is unclear whether MetaCompany existed before now. When searching for companies named Meta I found Meta, which was foreclosed in 2019, Meta, which was bought out and shut down by Zuckerburg, and a couple other companies that are still active but have no link to the letter.
- A trademark for METACOMPANY was submitted in 2016, but there is nothing linking it to the letter.
- http://web.archive.org/ has a history of the website, which contains only a 404 error from 2018, and the letter from November 1.
- The letter written with inflammatory language, like it was designed to attract people’s anger rather than call attention to a problem.
TL;DR MetaCompany is very likely a hoax
HOWEVER, there is also another company called Meta PCs that is claiming copyright infringement, and it is much more obvious that they are real.
Absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence. None of this stuff is particularly unusual for a company that has been trying to get started but wasn’t ready to reveal itself to the public yet, and if you dig a bit deeper there’s some strong evidence that they’re legit
First of all, the Internet Archive may have only archived their site once (not surprising for a site that wasn’t yet in use), but a whois search confirms that the domain has existed since 2014
If you do a google search restricted to results from prior to the meta announcement, you’ll find there is definitely a real person named Nate Skulic (the name at the bottom of the letter) who is a programmer that lives in Chicago (the location at the bottom of the letter) and absolutely existed prior to last month (1, 2, 3). Must be a very private man to have so few results, but that’s his own business - those are definitely real
And most importantly, there is information linking the 2016 trademark listing they posted to meta.company. Looking through the documents tab, here is a screenshot (or mockup, maybe?) of the site meta.company, and here is a page stating that the owner of the trademark is located at 7056 N Monon Ave, Chicago, IL - the home of a man named Nate Skulic
While doing this research, I found a lot of sentiments around the internet that meta.company is a hoax just because they came forward before they were ready (as they said) in response to facebook’s bullshit, so if you could share this post - or at least this information - it could help back them up
And, if you must know, it looks from the trademark documents that they do corporate software development
to be a fan of both dracula and sherlock holmes is to have the widest experience possible on the question of “what would the author think of x” because bram stoker would be getting in months long twitter battles defending lucy while arthur conan doyle would come after anyone who asked him any question with a baseball bat
bram stoker: (with tears in his eyes, speaking with joy from the bottom of his heart) dracula is still popular???
acd: (with disgust and frustration so palpable you could spread it on bread) sherlock holmes is still popular???
tbh though if i were mccoy i’d be pretty fucking fed up with spock too. imagine you’re a doctor, you dedicate your life to learning how care for hundreds of different life forms and species across the galaxy, and then your wife divorces you, which leads you to enlisting as a doctor for starfleet. this is WAY outside of your comfort zone, you hate adventure and you’d rather be sittin on a porch in the sun with some sweet tea in hand and your daughter on your knee, but you ain’t got nowhere else to go, and who are you if you aren’t a doctor? you’ve dedicated your whole life and so much more to healing. so you enlist, you get assigned to a starship. not your dream job, but if there’s one thing leonard mccoy knows how to do it’s treat patients. and then THIS MEDICAL MARVEL MOTHERFUCKER comes in with his fucked up gene spliced half human half vulcan biology and the rarest most obscure blood type even among vulcans with ZERO precedent for his existence or medical baseline and also happens to be THE WORST PATIENT IN HISTORY. REFUSES to sit still and follow instructions. always making smart ass comments about your silly human emotionalism. you’ll get insane fucking readings and be like “spock i think you’re dying” and the bastard will answer with a straight face “yes. that’s just pon farr.” “can you tell me how to treat it?” “no.” and then just walks out of the fucking sickbay. you’re constantly busting your ass trying to figure out how to keep this human-alien catboy mix’n’match medical nightmare from hell alive and healthy and all you get in return is backhanded compliments from an emotionally stunted fruit. and you can’t even complain about it to your best friend because he’s too busy doodling this obstinate motherfucker’s name all over his notebook while eye-fucking him on the middle of the bridge. hell i’d be an alcoholic too.
