this 50′s hungarian comic strip I’d never heard of until now is so damn cute for something that also gets so horny

It helps that the writer was trying to create something he hoped would appeal to women as much as men.

Yeah and I think where it really succeeds vs. modern anime wifey fantasy shit is that Jucika really is just a character super comfortable with being sexual, likes looking sexy and even has no shame in using it to get her way:

….But at the same time, she doesn’t tolerate being objectified against her wishes:

….And the comic takes her side in both cases, whereas I’ve seen countless modern narratives in which this same character would have only been framed as like a Slutty ™ Bitch ™ or full blown villain.

One of the things I also really like about this comic, besides what’s already been stated, is that the humor isn’t always about her being sexy. Sometimes it’s just about other goofy things in her life!

oh yes many of them are experienes just anybody can relate to

but then there’s also the time she just….built a functional AI?

she just didn’t predict how the robot rebellion would really manifest

I love how there isn’t a single dialogue bubble, yet you can fully understand what’s happening.

Always reblog Jucika.

Holding the laptop’s power button down because it’s crashed and there’s no other way to turn it off feels so unsettling. It makes me feel like I’m holding a cushion over its face while the life slowly ebbs out of it.

A housewife takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work. Not aware that 9 year old son was hiding in the closet. Her husband came home unexpectedly, so she hid her lover in the closet. The boy now has company.

Boy: ‟Dark in here.” Man: ‟Yes it is.” Boy: ‟I have a baseball.” Man: ‟That’s nice.” Boy: ‟Want to buy it?” Man: ‟No, thanks.” Boy: ‟That’s my dad outside.” Man: ‟How much did you say the baseball was again?” Boy: ‟$250.”

In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom’s lover are in the closet together.

Boy: ‟Dark in here.” Man: ‟Yes, it is..” Boy: ‟I have a baseball glove.” Man: ‟That’s nice.” Boy: ‟Want to buy it?” Man: ‟No, thanks.” Boy: ‟I think I just remembered something I needed to tell my dad.” Man: ‟How much did you say the glove was again?” Boy: ‟$750.” Man: ‟Fine.”

A few days later, the father says to the boy, ‟Grab your glove. Let’s go outside and toss the baseball!” The boy says, ‟I can’t. I sold them.” The father asks, ‟How much did you sell them for?” The son says, ‟$1,000.” The father says, ‟It’s terrible to over-charge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I’m going to take you to church and make you confess.”

They go to church and the father alerts the priest and makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and closes the door.

The boy says, ‟Dark in here.” The priest says, ‟Do not start that shit again.”

How about an AU where Steve's family's money is REALLY because of his grandmother, although Steve's parents act like it's theirs already and lecture Steve to live up to the Harrington name, join the company etc etc.

And, idk, the parents found out about Steve's fight with Billy and they want to press charges because of course they do, but Steve talks them down. They still insist on Punishment for Billy though, which Neil is happy to agree to, so it's agreed that Billy is to spend his weekends and some weekdays afternoons taking care of grandmother Harrington (go with her to places, keep her company, clean her room, do her laundry etc etc - because let's be real here, none of the adult Harringtons wants to do it, and this way they don't have to hire a nurse).

Anyway, since Billy and Steve are basically the same age, Steve is tasked to oversee this somewhat, which at first turns out to be a punishment for him, too. But like. With time, the boys start talking. Bonding. Steve is not always with them, of course, but at least once a week, they meet and talk a bit. And Steve sees how his grandma livens up when she has the opportunity to get out more (Billy drove her in the Camaro once and she came back looking more alive than in years!). Steve is basically one of the only Harringtons who takes the time to talk to his grandma once in a while, and lately they've been talking more.

Grandma Harrington knows that Steve has no desire to go into the business, and she is the only member of his family that isn't pressuring him about his grades and future. Instead, she simply pats his hand and tells him that when she was a young girl, she wanted to become a ballerina. It's not the same as Steve's situation, but he appreciates it all the same.

And then the grandmother dies. And because she is a little shit, she leaves the company and most of the wealth to her new nurse, Billy Hargrove (except for the house in Loch Nora, the summer house in Italy and a not unsignificant amount of money in a trust fund which she leaves for her grandchild Steven Harrington).

Cue very upset Harringtons, a suddenly very rich and very confused Billy, and a similarly confused but suddenly pressure-free Steve, who is free to live his best life doing what he likes, whenever he finds out what that is.

(Also all those legal proceedings and the Harringtons - and Neil - hounding both of them probably has Steve whisk Billy away to the house in Italy to let everything sink in, and what if they fall for each other when they're there? What then?)

Anti-revenge narrative this, anti-revenge narrative that, I personally think that Inigo Montoya had the right idea when he stabbed Count Rugen in the gut and said "I want my father back, you son of a bitch"

A lot of revenge arcs end with the hero saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so me seeking revenge is pointless." The Princess Bride's revenge arc ends with Inigo Montoya saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so there's nothing that can save you."

you know what’s a trope that never gets tired is when theyre bouncing around in the plot and suddenly an important name crops up- it’s blorbo bleebus. and some dude is like who the hell is blorbo bleebus. and we immediately cut to our new friend blorbo bleebus pulling the most absolutely buckwild shit you’ve ever seen

enhanced edition of this trope is when they cut to blorbo bleebus doing something entirely contradictory to how they were just introduced, like “i know a professional, someone discreet who can handle things quietly” cut to blorbo bleebus in the wildest fucking bar brawl you’ve ever seen, screaming their own name and stopping to down shots while still holding some dude in a headlock

We need a Dracula movie where they do this with Van Helsing.

Joyce Byers creeps Billy out. Even a bit more than Steve Harrington with his stupid pretty face and all the dreams that followed.

He's just picking up Max and waiting outside. He can't go in. She holds the door open, golden light and laughter spilling out from the inside.

There it is again, her smile that makes Billy feel like he's five again, like that time when he got lost in the supermarket and Neil drove home without him and he just wanted to hug his mom.

"You wanna come in?" she asks - not for the first time. She asked last week and the week before. Not in the way Karen Wheeler did with too much lipstick and hunger. In a way Billy doesn't get.

"No, thank you, Ma'am." It's not even a lie. Billy doesn’t know what to expect when he goes inside. What would he even do in there? It's fucking scary.

"Okay," she just says. Like it really is okay. Like he isn't one giant disappointment. "But next time you're welcome to join us for dinner."

Billy wants to tell her no again, but he only had a chocolate bar for dinner and the thought of sitting in front of a plate full of steaming hot food makes his stomach churn.

"I'll think about it," he says. Then Max shoves past him, bitching about Neil's stupid ass curfew and well, that's one thing they can agree on.

Next time is the most inconvenient moment, because it's the day his mom left and Billy tries to forget the exact date, but he can't. It's a day that hurts, that's always gray. There's a giant hole inside him and he's aching, remembering her favorite summer dress and laughter and screaming and a plate's shards on the floor.

He's earlier than usual and she's opening the door. He hears the kids' chatter and can't.

"Not a good day?" Joyce asks, seeing right through him and it's so much like a fucking mother - or what Billy has the vague idea of one to be like. He wants to bolt and to stay at the same time.

He snorts, but it's more of a sob. Not a good day, not a good life.

"Do you wanna come in?" She pauses. "If you don't want to, I already saved some for you."

Years full of memories are clogging his throat.

"Next time," he hears himself say. He can't, not when a mother that isn't even there and never will be, is still holding his hand.

She disappears and comes back a few minutes later.

"Sorry, I only had Will's old one..." She gives him a sheepish smile. "You're always welcome, you know."

It's a kid's' food container, a giant green turtle.

Billy takes it.

It's stupid. It feels like a hug.

tw: Billy is missing one wing

Billy has been tempting humans for centuries now. To be honest, it's fucking boring. He'll bat his eyelashes, play with a curl of his blond hair and get them to do everything he wants - or rather, has to.

At least he doesn't have to do stupid crossroad deals anymore. These are boring and lonely. Being able to roam San Diego is lovely. Even if it sometimes means sucking it up to businessmen who are so greedy they'd end up in hell either way. To be honest Billy gets them a "skip the line" ticket.

"Thank you," the guy says, after he sealed his fate with a handshake and the nudge he needed to betray his company and leave the country. "You're a real angel."

"I've been called that." Billy grins, showing all his teeth, ignoring the shiver the word sends down his spine. It's not even a lie - thought that had been ages ago and he can't remember heaven, just a fleeting feeling of light and feeling out of place.

He watches the business suit leaving and decides that this is enough work for at least a month. Neil will hate his report either way, so fuck him. Time to get drunk.

"You shouldn't let him call you an angel," a warm voice behind him says.

Billy sighs. Of course, once he decided to carpe the fucking diem, one of heaven's killjoys shows up.

"Why? You're going to tell the big guy upstairs on me?" Billy sticks his tongue out. He has never met this angel. But he knows one when he sees one.

He's pretty. Black hair nearly reaching his hips and a smile so bright it's like Billy can see his halo.

"No," the angel grins. "But I don't like lies."

"Lying comes with the job - and you should mind your own business," Billy sneers. It's exhausting. Hell wants this, heaven wants that and Billy just wants a fucking break.

i watch baseball for the side quests

Last year, after helping his team score 25 runs against the Red Sox by the fifth inning, this same dude decided to make an elaborate fruit cocktail mid-game.

Fittingly, his nickname is Piña (pineapple) because of his hair. (Which is purple this year, as you saw.)

His brother, 10 years older than him and also a baseball player, has the same hair. His nickname is... also Piña.

best part about gintama is that they go from "aliens are the problem" to "the system was created to protect a few priviledged beings and anyone that has been hurt by it should be an ally even when we all struggled differently to just survive in it, some adapted and some rebelled" and back to "well maybe only one alien is the problem but he's really caked up so we need everyone to defeat him"
