The beginning of a beautiful relationship

tell you what though it’s really really enjoyable when you feel your brain slipping towards increasingly detached fanonbrain interpretations of a character (because as much as i bitch about it i think we’re all susceptible to forgetting from time to time that the version of our blorbo who lives in our heads is filtered through layers of personal analysis and projection and sanding over certain fragments of personality for the sake of a gag or a good old fashioned whump rp) and you go back to the source material and you’re like ah!! THAT’S what my precious little guy is actually like!! it’s such a ludicrously satisfying and reinvigorating feeling. it’s like getting new glasses. replacing the broken screen protector on your phone. waking up after a cold and your nose is unblocked for the first time in a week. when you’ve done laundry and you put on your a list outfit for the first time in a hot minute. refamiliarising yourself with source material is a PLEASURE it’s like doing a factory reset on your blorbo thoughts and if you commit yourself to permanent and remorseless fanon brain you are missing out on a supreme brain-itching joy

Cas: i love you 🥺

i know the wound man is supposed to be a medical teaching aid but i love that out of context it looks like someone was just like man fuck this one guy in particular

inspired by my pinterest browsing habits

Every few months twitterinas bring back the “carnivores are a problematic element of nature and we should feed them synthetic meat and make it so they don’t eat herbivores. this is completely normal, feasible and won’t have any kind of repercussion on the ecosystem” discourse

First time I saw that was a guy who had as proposition to create fake prey animals with a robotic exoskeleton and covered in synthetic meat that predators would hunt, eat and then the exoskeleton would get up and go to the lab to get re meated. That was funny as hell

Tiger watching skinless carcass it just ate get up and walk away

Actually we should totally do this but not for like ideological veganism reasons just cuz itd be funny as like an animal social experiment.

doing this with real meat so there's not even a hypothetical animal rights angle, just completely unwarranted and unmitigated freak behavior

“i grew out of my dinosaur phase” shut up. your dinosaur phase isn’t something you “grow out” of. real adults know that dinosaurs are cool as fuck.

boys need to be bloody and pathetic more often . they need to be whiny and whimpery and desperate i think.

Write one sentence. Let it lead to another. It comes in waves. 

the fact that these continue to go around in the good year 2022 absolutely astounds me. i drew the original in 2015. i was nineteen years old. anyway you all get encouragement octopus instead of prompts today because i had my biannual go through the notes and cry appointment

oh and happy nano or whatever

if a characters name is just a word related to their powers or job then they are transgender. because obviously their parents wouldnt know that information the second theyre born so how would they have those names. its because they named themselves

the suffering never ends

Reblog to save an OC

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.)

Senpai says you’re welcome

Reblogging again because I just realized that if I had this advice in high school I would’ve never made a tumblr account.

Also works for most of those news sites like WSJ or NYT that only let you read a little bit, or block adblockers. Also some disable the scroll bar but if you go to the right side of the console after hitting F12 and look for the CSS element “overflow” and change it from “hidden” to “visible” then you can continue scrolling for free. Might have to click around on different parts of the page to find it, but it should work.

There’s also a Firefox/Chrome extension called Behind The Overlay that does all that with one mouse click. Used it for years; what a time saver.

And if you encounter a true paywall, use Archive.Today to bypass it. Just paste the paywalled url into the blue “search archived snapshots” box near the bottom:

The best ever episode of catfish

I’ve seen this photo set a million times and I had no idea it was catfish. I thought this was from a scripted comedy show of some sort.

When I was a kid me and my friends liked to play this game we called “absurd cheatcodes” in which one of us would just start making up convoluted steps for a video game cheatcode on the spot. Like, one of us would say something like “how to unlock Luigi in Mario 64” and the other one would start going like “well first of all you have to beat the game exactly 1000 times in a row without killing a single goomba. Then you have to take your cartridge out, put on Mario Kart instead and beat it 1000 times without slipping on a single banana peel. And then you put in Mario 64 again and-“ Basically just improv when you think about it.

My favorite bit to do when we did this was always sneaking Professor Oak in. I’d be making something up about some completely unrelated game and then I’d randomly go “And then who’ll show up? That’s right. Professor Oak.” My friends thought it was the funniest thing ever.

idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it

Actually forget what I said. This dream is more important than anything
