this is perhaps the weirdest sequence of events i have ever witnessed in any kind of media

two years later and BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPIN MEAT is still the funniest thing that’s ever happened

Happy Big Meaty Men Slapping Meat Monday

i missed the anniversary but happy three years of big meaty men slapping meat

I want to see two big men with big chests and big muscles bumpin’ meat.”

Bumpin?!”

Everyone's so upset about what's going on on my normal and functional space ship.

Excellent you can join ranks with that one doctor who this story made late for surgery

Read about my normal and functional spaceship to absolutely destroy your sleep schedule

This happened to me with their (now finished) serial novel Curse Words, and then their (currently unfinished) story Charlie MacNamara, Galactic Ace when I caught up to Curse Words while it was still in progress.

Simply put, it’s just a thing that happens when it comes to reading Derin’s stories.

I've been reliably informed by many, many readers that these stories are specifically crack for ADHD people who usually have difficulty reading and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. That's such a random demographic.

Look it happens

Do you have to do surgery tomorrow? No? Then how bad could it be to start reading.

You should do it, nothing will go wrong. You are the master of your sleep schedule and will get plenty of rest. It'll be fine.

It is 2:47 am

a concept: it’s always sunny in philadelphia but with hannah montana transition music instead of the original

I wrote a novel called CHOKEVILLE about two tough sisters trying to stay afloat in a zesty hardboiled pirate crime city.

Is there a naked fish-man oracle? Sure. What about a pirate queen turned beverage CEO? Also yes. A talking severed hand, a surly sea hag, a lonesome deer demon, a stupidly sharp sword, a hot tub sniper, whatever that is? Yes! What about a baroness who’s extremely pregnant with a ghost baby? Of course.

TWO DAY WARNING

we are in the final stretches of this race, my friends! the #castingcall for Soul Operator closes TOMORROW at 11:59pm pst! will you let these final moments pass you by?

The absolutely phenomenal Tot is the creator of this show and they are an absolute delight to work with! Even if you're not interested in auditioning you should DEFINITELY follow along with the show because it's going to be incredible

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

The adventures of a space roomba

Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)

I don’t know a snappy description but the my nemesis cynthia story certainly lives in my head

I am in love with you /p

What about the one with the princess locked in a tower learning to become a wizard? That’s lived in my mind for years and I haven’t seen it in a long time

I’m obsessed with this because this woman is me (if I had a cricut). I make fun of all this shit but also I am SO into it. The balance between genuine lust for a good Pinterest craft and pure sarcasm in her voice is amazing. 10/10

I’m amazed how this manages to be awful but also genuinely brilliant at the same time. The intention and the thought put into it is genuinely lovely, the extreme Karen energy being used for good is confusing, the White Woman Aesthetic is… a bit much.

Look, I can’t throw stones.

Sometimes you just wanna make stuff. And why the hell not? Our world shouldn’t be available for purchase at Wal-Mart. Make it unique. If you like puns, put a damned pun on it. If we can be supportive of someone who wants to paint their bedroom bubblegum pink, we can be supportive of cricutting a straw dispenser.

This video is amazing y'all let’s try to stop wanting to be mad at silly shit like this. We can enjoy a white woman doing some arts and crafts sometimes it’s okay

If you people start giving Hobie Brown the Eddie Munson effect I'm going to start killing. His ass would not be listening to arctic monkeys be so fr

i like never do this & im sorry to hijack yr post (especially seeing as you are a person i do not know!!) but another thing im seeing on these playlists is an absolutely abysmal amount of black artists. spider-punk is and has always been a black character, and black people are frequently pushed out of alternative and subcultural spaces, so i'm going to offer some black punk artists i personally enjoy for i guess playlist consideration aimed towards some of the ppl in the notes, although this isn't definitive & hobie's taste will of course not necessarily be my own.

also to note before we get into this is that punk is a culture of resistance. hobie in specific (though i don't know how much of this will be part of his characterization in the spiderverse trilogy going forward---he's pretty different in atsv, which isn't a bad thing) has been depicted in the comics as a homeless teenager living under a fascist government. regardless of whether or not that depiction is accurate for this version of hobie is irrelevant for now; the point i'm making is that his attachment to punk is not purely aesthetic in nature. i think keeping the radical aspects of punk in general and of spider-punk in specific in mind are important when discussing the character.

anyway.

  • death (this one is kind of essential in terms of punk history. they started recording songs under the band name death in 1971 and disbanded in 1977, but their music was only relatively recently properly released. they've been occasionally cited as the first punk band ever.)
  • pure hell (another early & extremely influential punk group, this one from 1974. in contrast with the isolation death operated within, pure hell were heavily involved in the early punk scene.)
  • bad brains (originally an american jazz group who became punk with a reggae fusion. they cite pure hell as an early influence, which is pretty cool.)
  • x-ray spex (70s english punk band fronted by poly styrene, whose vocals greatly influenced the later riot grrrl movement. notable for lyrical attacks on commercialism and corporate artifice.)
  • zulu (i fucking love zulu so much guys you should all listen to zulu right now. they're frequently described as powerviolence, which is accurate, but they also incorporate elements from various historically black genres, like funk, jazz, & soul. you can listen to one zulu album and get a ton of different musical experiences it rules.)
  • bob vylan (london-based punk rap duo. to me they're like the ideal of what punk set out to be in the first place, ideologically speaking. i don't even know what else to say here. if you're interested in modern punk and aren't listening to bob vylan you should be. they're insanely skilled and deserve to be the center of the conversation.)

this post has gone on long enough you get the gist. & if you actually feel inspired enough to want to make a 100% accurate spider-punk playlist, get into your local scene and see what's playing there. it's what he would want, probably.

i'd also recommend big joanie, soul glo, the muslims and minority threat!!

listening to Gravity Falls episode commentaries is great. Alex Hirsch nearly worked himself to death constantly. Grunkle Stan was nearly voiced by Matt Chapman of Homestar Runner. Literally nothing aside from the twist about Stan having a twin was planned more than a few episodes in advance. The zodiac wheel meant nothing and consisted of random symbols from the first 7 episodes because the intro was animated after those were done. Alex came up with the term “search for the blind eye” to be an extra bit for the between-season shorts before deciding to actually have a payoff for that setup and writing Society of the Blind Eye. Bill was meant to be a joke character and when Alex suggested that he be a real villain Michael Rianda responded “You, my friend, have lost the plot.” Bill getting one episode in the spotlight was basically chance and he only became the main villain of season 2 because he was so popular with the fans. The reveal of the portal at the end of season 1 was suggested by Mike without thinking it through and he left before the next season and the other writers were SO ANNOYED after that went through because they somehow had to keep that plot going for the 10 episodes it’d take to actually pay off. I am genuinely astonished that this show came together as well as it did at all.

By the way – this is a good time to let folks know that all of the DVD commentaries (including the “hidden” ones) are currently available in this YouTube playlist.

(They have been up on YT before, and removed. Highly recommend that folks download them off YT and save them, now that the DVD sets are out of print.)
