Danny: Why are you so angry?

Damian: How dare you speak to me, peasant.

Danny: Saying things like that, make it hard for people to approach you.

Damian: Good.

Danny: .....I like it. It gives you moxy. We're best friends now.

Damian: What?

Danny: I'm Danny Fenton by the way. Here this is my phone number. I'll message you when I get on Doom. You play viedo games right?

DEATH IS A ONE WAY STREET BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP ME FROM COMMITTING ONE HELL OF A TRAFFIC VIOLATION

hey boy don't kill yourself. green's dictionary of slang is available online and allows you to explore 500 years of english vulgarity. you can search by part of speech, source, time period, etymology, and usage. there's a whole category for gay slang. they even have specific citations listed so you can see the exact context for yourself. boy did you know that in 1927 "to kneel at the altar" was slang for "to sodomize"

some other hits:

Also a lot of early 20th century vulgarity is recorded in Letter from My Father, which is a collection of letters published by a man who's dad was, in short, a major slut and human disaster who wrote about his sex life for his son. It's insane. You can find copies of it online & it's a wild fucking read (literally!) and I think a really interesting look at the life of a person who goes against our stereotypes of what people in the past were "supposed" to be like.

Anyways feel free to add y'all's favs to this post. & if you use this for gay historical fanfic please share with the class

"I want to be a dragon."

TIL in 1915, San Diego hired a “rain maker” who used a secret mix of chemicals to “attract rain” for $10,000, payable if he filled their reservoir. It rained for most of January, destroying bridges, dams, and causing 20 deaths.

that was the Devil

I mean they wanted rain

His name was Charles Hatfield and I’m not saying that you shouldn’t make a deal with him, but I am saying that you should be very clear about the terms and conditions

I think we need to fully appreciate the fact that the reason he “looks like the Devil” is that many depictions of the Devil in American popular media are specifically caricatures of this guy. Like, imagine being a con man and fucking up your hustle so badly that for more than a century afterwards people start drawing the Devil to look like you.

What, the forest-dwelling entities with imperfect human mimicry who insinuate themselves into groups of hikers? Yeah, we had one of those. Clocked it immediately, of course. Honestly it kind of fell in that so-inept-it's-kind-of-charming range. We just played along until it'd had it's fill of marshmallows and shambled back into the treeline. We might have been violating some kind of killjoy wildlife contact best practices but what the hell, can't plan around every little thing. Why, what happened to you guys

these tags are gold omg

It's a misconception that the mimics are hunting humans when they trail along at the back of hiking groups.

In fact, the creature you'll find suddenly walking beside you and acting as if they've always been there is almost certainly a juvenile, as the adults lose the ability when they reach reproductive age.

Recent studies suggest the forest mimic is less like a preying mantis (mimicry as a hunting strategy) and more like a cuckoo (mimicry as a protective strategy for their young). Adult forest mimics will leave their offspring near a group of hikers while they forage during the day, and retrieve them near trailheads in the evening. Groups of hikers provide safety from predators and allow the parents of the species the freedom to forage more widely.

For this reason, the traditional advice to never let a mimic into your vehicle is still very important, as this would separate the young mimic from its mother. If a juvenile forest mimic does follow your group to the parking lot, you can keep it entertained with trail snacks, dad jokes, and simple goofs. The mother will usually collect them shortly before sunset.

When you notice the woods around the trailhead go silent and feel a sense of nameless foreboding, find an excuse to avert your attention from the juvenile so it can sneak back into the forest to rejoin its mother, convinced it's fooled another party of unsuspecting humans.

surprisingly wholesome takes from the cryptid community here

aaugh i hate citing sources *excruciatingly loud sounds of tearing metal combined with tortured human screams and fleshy hitting noises* ok that wasn't so bad actually..

hey guys. whats happening on my post

[Image description: There are five images, all screenshots of tags and replies on this post. The first is tags in all caps that read, "prev tags?! are you okay?" The second image is the prev tags mentioned, and reads, "me watching two hours worth of cars 3 interviews with brian fee so i can find a concrete source for lightning mcqueens age. btw on that note there's canonically a 20 year age gap between mcqueen and mater. in the first movie mcqueen is 29 and mater is 49. stan materfred its less problematic." The third image is tags in response to the previous image that read, "prev what. what. mater is. 49?? he's what?? he. was older than my dad when i first watched the movie? what??" The fourth image is tags in response again, and it reads, "prev in the credits of cars 2 we see maters passport including his DOB. his birthday is the same as john lasseters. 12 jan 1957. as i write this in 2022 john lasseter is 65. thus. mater is a gilf." The fifth image is a reply that reads, "mater is a gilf." End description]

[Image ID: It is a wojak meme, showing a man, who has the Wojak face, standing in the corner of a party, while smiling couples dance around him. Above the Couples' heads text reads, "Mater's 49????" And "Gilf Mater." Above the Wojak man's head, Text reads, "They don't know Materfred is the ship name for Mater and Manfred Von Karma" END ID]

[Image ID: A screenshot of a google search of "Manfred Von Karma", showing he's a white haired kinda "has fun being evil" looking man, the first result being his Ace Attorney wiki page. Hes a prosecutor. END ID]

Ace Attorney Heritage Post

your what

i feel like @beemovieerotica would appreciate this

@mapleejay please give us more context or share the fic

i have no idea I was in like middle school. i think it was on wattpad but I can't find it ? it could just be lost to time at this point

I stand very firmly on the podium to state that the argument of "Bruce was going to kill Joker but he was the ambassador/Superman stopped him it's not his fault! He tried!! He even thought the Joker was dead after the helicopter exploded and fell into the ocean" is the weakest and most stupid fucking justification. As if that's the only time Bruce could have killed him. What about that time when Joker came back and Bruce beat him senseless while shouting Jason's name over and over and over and over again? What was stopping him? Who would have stopped him?

Look there was somewhere between 3-4 years in-universe between Jason's death and UtH that Bruce could have killed Joker. If you argue that he couldn't because of Tim okay well there were months in between (including the previously mentioned incident, iirc) where he could have killed him. STOP giving that excuse that trying to kill Joker is a one and done deal. You couldn't do it once now you're just stuck with it.

Look, I'm not even saying that Bruce 100% "absolutely should have killed Joker" and there's no in-universe explanation for why he didn't. I'm saying if you're going to commit to defending Bruce about this, use an argument that covers more than a singular incident despite him having multiple and frequent exposure to the bastard.

"Bruce can't kill because he has Issues/not killing, or no death at all rather, is important to Batman as a central thesis of the mask" are more valid arguments than "He tried once!!! that's why he never did it again even when he had the perfect opportunities over and over and over again and even actually resurrected Joker more than once!!!"

As if the man isn't stubborn enough to try dedicating himself to a singular purpose for long periods of time despite it being a seemingly lost cause that will never succeed....

My personal theory about Never Stop Blowing Up is that it was a high budget crossover mid nineties movie of all the great current action icons as if they were attempting an avengers movie a decade before marvel movies were a thing and the result was a movie so insane, illogical, ridiculous, over the top that it resulted in a box office bomb so bad it stopped the summer action movie trend as a whole for a few years but was redeemed as a cult classic decades later.

okay so Brennan and Dropout just put out a little video on where to get started in dimension 20, and Brennan was like “do ya like Dungeons and Daddies? Watch Mentopolis! It’s got Freddie Wong” which is true, but also, tone wise, the most similar dimension 20 season to Dungeons and Daddies is Never Stop Blowing Up, which he didn’t mention once and I’m a little salty about it bc that’s my favorite season. *deep breath*

I vote we stop calling it inflation at all. Seize the language. It's price gouging, not inflation. Inflation is a nebulous concept that invokes feeling of being too complex for the layman, a struggle as old as economy itself against a beast no one has ever truly slain.

Price gouging is the truth of it. And it makes it very clear who is to blame, and what must be done to end it.

Can confirm this works wonders. Australia is in a cost of living crisis rn and the two major supermarkets are a big part of it, as they pretty much have a duopoly on not just the grocery shopping market, but a bunch of others considered to be essential (things like fuel). They are trying to blame their price rises on inflation, but the media recently started reporting it as price gouging (which it is), and it got the average person pretty worked up, better than blaming inflation did.

It's price gouging, not inflation.

#and it's punitive #one of the reasons they fired this up was because people were TALKING about raising the minimum wage #and the sudden jump in prices let them say “see? we told you this would happen if you raised wages!” #even though wages only got raised in a couple of places

hey girl awesome pussy. it looks like it was expensive

hey girl awesome pussy. it looks like a shining example of your country's functional healthcare system

[sweating and taking notes] hey girl awesome pussy. it looks nuanced and complicated

As a care coordinator, if I could include this post in a "what to know about gender affirmation surgery" packet, I absolutely would.

when I was a little kid at some point I got upset with my parents because I didn't have a crucifix in my bedroom and they did- I was like why do YOU get to be safe from vampires??? you're okay with me getting my blood sucked???? so we took a little trip to the catholic store but the one closest to us was run by a group of nuns that had been moved here from romania. I got a little baby pink cross and this sweet old nun was like 'aww, is this a baptism gift?' and I was like no. I need to be protected from vampires. and she immediately got SO serious and was like 'this is the best one we've got, you'll definitely be safe' and since she was literally from vampire land I was convinced she was like, van helsing. like the whole time my parents had been laughing about how cute my fear was but she literally Knew dracula and was taking my concerns seriously I held this over my parents for so long lmfao

listen she may have just been humoring you but even my limited experience with Romanian nuns has taught me that there is one thing they are absolutely dead serious about and it is their multi-generational fear of vampires
