Vinny: --does it go? [twerkey appears, Vinny sputters in complete shock] Wh-- what? [long silence while battle music plays]

Vinny: [quietly, resigned] Okay. Gonna close the DS. What did I just look at? Is that--was that an enemy called a ‘twerkey’? [long silence, opens DS, screams] DauAUUGGHLOOKIYATISIT--Yup. It’s called Twerkey. And it’s got a mouth on its twerking ass. And it’s not just any ass--it’s thicc. 

Vinny: [suddenly composed] Here’s--here’s the thing, people are like--people were like “Vinny, you’re making everything sexual in Miitopia. Everything’s sexual when you play Miitopia, Vinny.” And then I-- [opens DS, reels back sputtering again] heuHUbMuMUHMHHuuH there’sssa--th-there’s a twerkey. [opens DS] Is the poo emoji gonna show up in a little bit, I wonder?

Vinny: [laughing, now] I like the face of the actual turkey. Just that eye. How did they--how did they get away with this? Yep. Just beat the twerkey with a wooden rod. [silence while victory theme plays] Okay. Okay, Nintendo. If this is the way we’re gonna do it. I’m gonna have to crack open a multitude of cold ones.

My Brother, My Brother and Me s1e5 | Secret Society Outfits

[boppin’ music playing]

Griffin: These are our secret society outfits! No, wait. [snaps fingers, catches top hat, beat of silence while he struggles to put it on] These are our secret society outfits.

Griffin: [at Travis] You look like a business man with an extremely specific fetish.

Travis: [amused] You look like a new character in Candyland that just steals Twizzlers.

Justin: [at Travis] You look like a, uh, vaudeville usher who’s trying for a management position.

Travis: [laughs] Justin, you look like a halloween costume to represent farts under a blanket!

Justin: [wheezes]

Griffin: Justin looks like rye bread that a cape got on.

Justin: [at Griffin, in a serious tone] You look like if hepatitis was a person.

Travis: [absolutely loses it, laughing heartily]

LIGHT THIS MOTHERFUCKER UP!!!

Justin: [calm and collected rage] Hey Nathan, it’s me, Justin McElroy, the guy whose episode you fucked.

Griffin: Did you really think we were gonna find the Illuminati on our T.V. show?!

Justin: We can’t do easy things on our T.V. show, and you want us to do a hard one?!

Griffin: [voice raised & cracking] This is a ding-dong podcast!

Justin: You’re a jerk-person, Nathan.

Griffin: Hold on, let me look up up Nathan’s address in the yellow pages. Oh, it says here: “a garbage can.”

[Justin quietly laughing]

Justin: [holding back laughter] Lemme look up Nathan’s phone number--

Griffin: [deadpan] Justin’s gonna slam you here in a second, Nathan.

Justin: [unable to contain laughter, wheezing]

Griffin: [screaming offscreen over Justin’s laughter] Light this motherfucker up!

Justin: [losing it]

Travis: [offscreen] Get him! [onscreen] Get him, Justin!

Justin: [quietly reveals phone number]

Travis: That’s right.

Justin: [goes right back to losing it]

Griffin: [at the top of his lungs] Eat that shit, Nathan!

Where do I get my rainbow bat-phone?

Eileen: Ugh. Kenny, you know I enjoy a good float as much as the next person, but why all the booty shorts and nipples? Can’t you just tell The Others to... tone it down a bit?

Kenny: [sarcastically] Sure thing. We all know each other, so. I’m just gonna hop on the rainbow bat phone and call everyone!

Eileen: [sincerely] Thanks.

[bassy pop music playing as he dials]

Kenny: Hey, Lance. My mom needs everyone to “tone it down”?

Lance: I’m on it.

Jane: Yello?

Lance: Hey Jane, it’s Lance. Kenny’s mom says we need to smother the flame. 

Jane: Copy that, Lance-a-lot.

Tyler: Hello?

[fade to black, Traverse Town plays as it fades back in]

Sora: [swinging keyblade] YA! ENH! [hits door]

can 2017 be the year of hearies being Good Allies to d/Deaf people?

how to be a good ally to d/Deaf people

  • recognize that audism (the oppression of & discrimination against deaf people) is still a very real issue. it can include things like believing that deaf people are “stupid” or “broken” and that deaf people need to be “fixed” (aka made hearing), as well a general lack of awareness about deaf issues, how deaf people communicate, or even that deaf people exist
  • recognize the consequences of audism, like deaf children being forced to speak and not being allowed to learn ASL, deaf people being denied jobs (yep, its illegal. still happens), and even deadly police brutality 
  • reblog/signal boost posts about d/Deaf issues as well as positive posts about d/Deaf accomplishments, information about d/Deaf people, etc
  • if you can: learn a little bit of your local sign language! even just fingerspelling and knowing a few basic signs. i especially encourage anyone who works in customer service/retail to learn a little ASL if at all possible! (this is a big thing so i def don’t fault anyone for not doing it, but if you have the time/ability it’s a pretty cool thing to do)
  • stop using phrases like “falls on deaf ears”, “deaf to their pleas”, anything that frames deafness in a negative way
  • recognize that there are different levels of hearing loss!! hearing people generally categorize hearing as: “not being able to hear perfectly but still hearing” = hard of hearing; “not hearing anything” = deaf; but for deaf people, anyone with any degree of hearing loss is considered deaf! if someone tells you they’re deaf but you know they can talk/sing/play instruments/listen to music, believe them
  • theres a lot more honestly but i dont wanna let this get too long!! anyone can feel free to message me about any of this/if u wanna hear more. i’d really appreciate if people (esp. hearing people) could reblog this

when you start a new game and you meet the character you know is going to betray you

Protagonist: Hey, it’s nice to meet you.

Lysandroth: [dark piano chords, foreboding voice] This world is imperfect... 

Protagonist: ...what--?

Lysandroth: If only I could wipe away the impurities...!

Protagonist: --anybody else... listening to this...--?

Lysandroth: ...and make it as beautiful as me!

Rival: [gasps] Lysandroth! You were behind all this!

Lysandroth: Yes, it was I! My machinations lie undetected for years! For I am a master of deception--

harem anime where everyone but the protagonist is sentient furniture            

Lamp-senpai: [deep, sultry voice] Tomoko, I want to light up your life. [clicks on]

Tomoko-chan: [breathless] Lamp-senpai...

Fan-kun: [nasally voice] Uwwwoah!

Tomoko-chan: [scoffs] Pervert!

Fan-kun: Wait, no, Tomoko-chan, I didn’t mean to--uohh, I love you!

Refrigerator-senpai: [seductively] You can’t resist me, can you?

Tomoko-chan: Refrigerator-senpai... I...

Refrigerator-senpai: It’s your decision.

Tomoko-chan: I...

Tomoko-chan: I wish we could stay like this forever, Bed-chan...

Bed-chan: We’ve known each other since childhood... will she ever see me as more than a friend?!

The twins: [playfully, in sync] Hello, Tomoko-chan~

Tomoko-chan: [gasps] The twins!

Tomoko-chan: [as background noise] TV-senpai, I’ve always admired you--

Viewer: Haha. More like “chair-em anime.”

[beat, slow dry zoom on face]

Viewer: ...MORE LIKE CH--

This is an accessibility blog. I... don’t know why some nasties are surprised that we’re critical of ableism, even casual ableism.

Hey, friends! Thomas’s YouTube videos are open for anyone to submit captioning! If you’d like to help, head on over to youtube.com/thomassanders. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m trying to caption them as well, but my schedule is getting a bit hectic and I feel like I’m taking too long making them accessible for everyone! If anyone is able to help, it would be awesome!!
