this clip from make some noise s1e8 with oscar montoya and brennan lee mulligan is the only super mario bros content i care about personally

brennan lee mulligan has the greatest superpower: the unlimited ability to make an absolutely off-the-cuff monologue and then follow it up with the ultimate turnaround. he can share the power with others

but credit also needs to be firmly planted in the hands of oscar for hearing the prompt say "dramatic video game cutscene" and then going "got it, mario and luigi."

Decided to turn my birch dragon into a full line

PEEKABLINK ["Peek-A-Boo"- Blink] -Dragon/Grass -The Unblinking Pokemon -Ability: Unnerve/Keen Eye - Third Eye(HA)* -Dex: “This pokemon hides behind trees and rocks to watch other pokemons with its large, unblinking eye. Looking into its eye can be dangerous, as people has said that once eye contact has been made with one, breaking aways from its gaze can be very difficult, as if it has some kind of hypnotic power. Sometimes people that go missing on the woods has later been found trapped in a 'staring match' with one of this pokemon, unable to look away.“ -Moveset:     -Branch Poke     -Glare     -Hypnosis     -Mean Look

–>Evolves at lvl.35<–

PEEKABURL ["Peek-A-Boo"- Burl] -Dragon/Grass -The Burl Pokemon -Ability: Unnerve/Keen Eye - Third Eye(HA)* -Dex: “It sits next to large trees where it attaches to their roots, feeding from the tree's nutrients in order to gain enough strenght to evolve, it only moves to search for another tree once it has fed enough from the previous one. Due to its eyes and ears being covered by its wooden shell, this pokemon experiences a form of senssory depravation that its said to help awaken some dormant psychic abilities.“ -Moveset:     -Horn Leach     -Breaking Swipe     -Meditate     -Forest's curse

–>Evolves at lvl.65<–

PEEKABIRCH ["Peek-A-Boo"- Birch] -Dragon/Grass -The Watcher Pokemon -Ability: Unnerve/Keen Eye - Third Eye(HA)* -Dex: “This pokemon hides among the trees completely motionless for hours, watching pokemon and human pass by. They use their heavy tails and short but wide and strong legs to help keep their long necks straight, mimicking tree trunks. By being motionless all day, while watching in a meditative state this pokemon has awakened a certain level of psychic powers in them, they can read the toughts of those who pass near them and what once were mere body markings now can be used to watch and feel their surrounding, this power often shows through a low glow along the markings in its body“ -Moveset:     -Wood Hammer     -Dragon Hammer     -Extrasenssory     -Miracle Eye

*Powers up Psychic-type moves

This pokemon are based on Birch trees and their markings that resemble eyes

PEEKABURL is based on a tree burl, a type of wooden growth on the side of trees

This is actually the best intro to a porno that has ever existed

There is no way this is a porno

This is the best porno there has ever been.

The way he says “HEY WHAT THE FUCK” shaped me as a person

It’s been over a decade, and I still think “I’m a lemon stealing whore” to myself every time I take fruit off a lemon tree.

Which isn’t often, but it’s often enough.

it’s funny to me how the logic behind tumblr’s new layout changes are to coddle potential new users, to make them feel more comfortable by giving them a layout that’s more familiar to navigate

…..by making the CURRENT users feel LESS comfortable by giving them a layout that’s LESS familiar to navigate.

they’re prioritizing a hypothetical scenario over their established, existing userbase, some of which (like me) who have been here for 10+ years

i definitely think minecraft won't be the game for everyone in the end and that's just how things are no problem but i do think *some* people who don't get the hype of it just need to play with their friends and build a house with them. its also for doing things like this.

adventure time lore is insane. it starts off just being a goofy kids show that has magic for no reason, but then you learn that all magic users are manic and/or depressed (what betty calls sadness and madness). because it turns out magic is actually a cosmic force beyond mortal comprehension, that itself was learned from cosmic entities that predated the existence of time itself inside a sea of monsters. and "magic" really is just understanding more about the nature of the universe than most people. that, in a way, reality isnt "real" and understanding that allows you to mold it. and thats magic. but that drives you to insanity and/or apathy. and there are beings who hold significant cosmic importance who are more prone to magic. and the reason magic became prevalent on earth is because of a nuclear war a thousand years ago, which released the entity that represents the destruction of all life onto the world. and after a nuclear apocalypse this gave way to a new earth, where magic could thrive. but a lot of the beings we see arent even magical, theyre just mutants from what happened 1000 years ago. and humanity as we know it has been all but wiped out. but everything stays the same because cycles of war and violence continue. and it doesnt matter if its nukes or magic. everything stays the same, but still changes.

bwhat? how do the stretchy yellow dog and princess made of candy figure into this

so the stretchy yellow dog believed his powers to be magic, while the princess suggest that it's actually just a mutation. neither of these are true, what actually happened was that his dad got infected with alien eggs and gave birth to him out of his head which makes him half alien half dog and thats where the powers come from. this isnt revealed until way later on and his alien dad eventually comes back into the fold to give him an identity crisis.

the princess made out of candy actually is sort of a mutant. she was born from a giant mutated wad of gum called the "mother gum"- it came into creation during the war from the radiation and such. its a bunch of separate sentient wads of gum all attached to each other, PB just ended up being the first one to drop off from it and gain independence (along with her brother neddy). she eventually grew to be more humanoid, and as a little girl she began to crave community and family (like how things were with everyone in the mother gum). she's also a genius who loves to play god, so she decided to just Make Her Own Family by frankensteining some other wads of gum. she lived happily and created a small community with them, though they eventually decided to try to overthrow her (keep in mind, she was still a little girl) by basically drugging her with "dumb dumb juice" which would make her more subservient. it didnt work. instead they got dosed with it, and got turned into different types of candy. they became the first citizens of her kingdom. from that point on as she "grew up" (loose term bc shes functionally immortal) she would grow her kingdom too. she would be absolutely ruthless about this of course. like a true mad scientist, she doesnt care about ethics, she cares about results. she would do anything it takes to keep her kingdom safe. including war crimes. no, im dead serious, she's violated the geneva convention sooo much. she spies on not only her citizens, but other kingdoms too, and will absolutely resort to sabotage. she's obsessed with keeping order and control. so she keeps her citizens (life that she created) intentionally dumb too. she creates life as science experiments and then discards it (goliad, lemongrab, etc.). characters will straight up call her a dictator. shes NOT a good person but shes quirky about it i guess. shes not morally gray shes morally pink

'can i copy your homework?'

'yeah just don't make it obvious'

Reminder that this is an experiment as per their official announcement (screenshot below).

Since this is an experiment, give your feedback to staff!

And remember to be specific on how this new navigation layout they are experimenting with is not working for you; hating it is one thing, but usability on different devices with different screen orientations, operating system, etc., would be much more impactful and meaningful.

The United Auto Workers are also negotiating new contracts with the big three US car manufacturers and have announced that they're prepared to strike if they can't get a fair deal.

Every article here is about a different strike!!!

Also, Cornell University apparently runs a very comprehensive live labor action tracker!
