I Have No Idea What I’m Doing

@reanimatedturtle

If I post something, it’s probably (definitely) shit and original.

something that rly creeps me out…..occasionally ill see videos or articles for christians or christian missionaries that say something like “what you need to do is make friends with non christians and really get them to trust you and THEN you start preaching to them and bringing them to jesus” and that is….man how much would it hurt to know that the only reason someone’s hanging out with you is to convert you to a religion you were never interested in. maybe this is a real friend, someone you really really feel like you connect to, and all of a sudden you cant hang out with them without being scared they’ll bring out the jesus stuff.

charlie youre blowing my third eye WIDE open

hahahaha like a year ago I tweeted “Christianity’s attitude toward Jews resembles nothing so much as the attitude of a man toward a woman who won’t fuck him” and people got SO MAD at me

just a reminder to my new followers that if were ever able to cross the explanatory gap and share our color perception qualia with each other, proving finally that we all do see colors differently, my red is real as shit and youve been seeing crap fake red. so come to terms with your shit fake red while it lasts

There's an online claim that the two old women who lived together in Coraline are gay and together. Is this true sir?

You’re asking me if the two old women who live together downstairs from Coraline live together?

Yes the ones I've assumed were gay my whole life. People online are saying you confirmed it and I wanted to check if it was genuinely canon

It's been genuinely canon since I wrote the book. Why would anyone think they weren't a couple?

i imagine that someone in gotham runs a 'how long has it been since bruce wayne adopted a kid?' twitter and it updates regularly with the exact number of days since whatever child's official adoption announcement. the replies are full of jokes about bruce wayne's adoption addiction

i also imagine that every once in a while, bruce wayne's official twitter account qrt's the latest countdown with 0 days, and that's how the public finds out about the latest wayne kid

Crazy how this man could have literally done absolutely, 100% nothing and been fine and yet decided to become the dude on stage everyone throws tomatoes at on purpose

Do you know how badly you have to fuck up

are mrs spink and forcible a lesbian couple?

Miss Spink and Miss Forcible. They are a couple, yes.

As Stephin Merritt had them sing, in the 2009 musical

"I am Miss Spink--" "And I am Miss Forcible--"

"Elderly thespians fallen from grace--"

"We never married so we're undivorceable--"

"Tripping on clippings all over the place."

So, this is page 18 of a recent printing of the Italian translation of Coraline (actually the second page of the actual book, after the Preface).

The underlined part says, literally, “both I and my sister Forcible were famous actresses, in our time.”

I read Coraline in English way back when and had always assumed they were a couple. I just came across this translation today at my parents’ and was taken aback, thinking I probably got it wrong at the time.

So I checked the English text and GUESS WHAT. I didn’t get it wrong. The original sentence reads, “both myself and Miss Forcible were famous actresses, in our time.” The translator decided Miss Spink and Miss Forcible must be sisters and, to this end, added a word that wasn’t there.

As a literary translator, queer person, and Neil Gaiman fan, I could write much (MUCH) more about this but honestly? I haven’t felt this furious in a long time, and I wouldn’t be too eloquent, I guess.

Honestly the best bit about this whole answer-storm is it's reminded me to talk to my agent about the Italian edition.

everyone comparing the reception redditors are getting to the one twitter users got is ignoring a critical piece of context: the twitter refugees were, by and large, returning ex-tumblrinas

site-culturally speaking, twitter users are new-promethei; their discourses were born on tumblr, where they were hated, so they left for the wider world in search of female-presenting nipples and promptly started killing people while we cowered in fear of what we had wrought. we were thus hesitant to welcome them back without assurances that they would behave themselves

redditors, meanwhile, are starfleet officers on a malfunctioning holodeck; kinda weird and not 100% sure what's going on but a million and one percent ready to commit to the bit as soon as they figure out what the bit actually is

kink at pride is easy af to explain to kids, idk what yall are talking about. "mommy, why is that mostly-naked man wearing leather?" because lots of gay men think it looks nice. "why is that guy on a leash with a mask?" hes playing pretend. "why does she have a whip?" she thinks its fun. you know how you like to play with water guns? its like that but only for grown-ups, and she wont play with anyone who doesnt want to play with her so we're all totally safe

if your 6yo's next question is "is that a sex thing?", thats fucking wild and a completely different problem. for you. not really an "Us Problem" collectively for all pride-goers, tbh. something's going on there thats hard to call the dominatrix's fault

homophobes think that being gay is already a weird sex thing thats hard to explain to kids. did yall forget that already? why are you trying to play respectability politics for people who will never respect you?

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.

Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.

That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.

(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)

There are a lot of interesting things about this post but the AK-47 shaped spear is what really got me

This is just as wild with the context

Some of my favorite moments in the series

From the foreword to 2021 print of the comic.

twitter is going to be shut down. half of reddit is locked or completely unmoderated. the entire first page of google search results are ads. tumblr does not and will never have a functioning search system and their content moderation is 100% automated. youtube only shares ad revenue with people who make snuff films for Youtube Kids. facebook is selling your grandma’s social security number under the table for like $5. web 2.0 is completely dead right

when i was a kid I was really bad (or really good depending on your definition) at hidden object games. which is to say that I would not specifically search for the objects the book asked me to look for. no. that would make no sense. what i instead did was open a spreadsheet

i then proceeded to list every single object in the image in my excel spreadsheet, highlighting the objects the book asked me to find in red as i went. Then, by the end, not only had i found the objects, I had also found and categorized all of the other objects as well. This way, if anyone asked me to find any other objects in that image, i was fully prepared

on an unrelated note i was diagnosed as autistic before third grade
