the Danny Phantom fandom will forever be the funniest group of motherfuckers on the internet to me simply bc of how they created and named the Weston family. in order from stupid to stupider we’ve got Kyle Weston. Wes Weston. Easton Weston. are you kidding me thats SO funny, 10/10 work all around. they didn’t need to do that either, these are all fanon-adopted OCs and they could have been named anything. Easton Weston, oh my GOD.
surprisingly the image for this clickbait is not AI but in fact made up of a real person’s decisions.
I think the best part isn’t even that the tail is an entire flipped human spine coming out of the big ass but that crucially it does not have any flesh on it.
I know, intellectually, that modern american christianity has absolutely nothing to do with the ideal concept of the church - but there is quite literally something in the bible about not doing this. Like this exact precise thing. This is an idol that is detracting worship from the lord.
wouldn’t it be so cool if we built the golden calf from famous bible story “Don’t Build The Golden Calf”
Fallout conspiracy theory: Most of the skeletons in funny poses were placed like that by bored wastelanders long after the war.
I’d like to think it’s a collaborative process. One wanderer puts the skeleton on an old beach chair. Later, another wanderer sees it, chuckles, and gives the skeleton a sunhat. Another one gives it a martini glass with an umbrella. And so on.
One under-appreciated breed of fic writer are the ones who hyperfocus on logistics to the exclusion of all canon shortcuts, and thus usually strike upon an awesome way to flesh out the worldbuilding or characters.
Like, I’m not necessarily talking realism here since often it’s still pretty far from realistic, but more like, “someone has to be running spies in this fantasy kingdom, and we’ve seen the whole royal court, so which background character is it? How does that change these three major interactions?” Or “real life historical nobility did in fact have some things to do that were like jobs, how does this human disaster cope with running an estate?” Or “there’s no reason for a sci-fi robot detective to know how to whitewater kayak, where’d she learn?” Or “if this guy is serving the emperor directly he has to be way high up in the space empire servant hierarchy, why is he doing this menial task for someone else? What’s his motive? Does he perhaps have the secret space telepathy?”
Anyway I’m always DELIGHTED to find a fic or writer who asks these questions because the fics themselves are universally bangers.
person who knows how logistical things works has picked up the cannon, hefted it thoughtfully, and put a single chalk mark precisely on the problem.
“red-pill” “snowflake” everything about v for vendetta…fascists really do love to steal and bastardize culture from the queer people they are trying to destroy
“snowflake” was popularized in Fight Club, a novel by a gay man. “red-pill” is from a movie created by two trans women and is a metaphor for estrogen and gender transitioning. those same women adapted V For Vendetta from the original comic (written by a polyamorous man who may or may not be queer but certainly has something going on); in both versions the titular protagonist “V” is implied to be transmasculine, and a survivor of torture and imprisonment for the crime of homosexuality.
because that’s what they see in us, these bigots who are happy to consume and quote and corrupt queer-created media, as long as they can erase every beautiful root. they see criminals, commiting the crime of being queer. and they are doing their damnedest to bring back the laws that made it so.
