Zeus, talking to Athena and Dionysus: Please, call me "mommy"
Athena: I'm not doing that.
Dionysus: Yes, mother.
Life has hit a point where at my character design course, we were learning basic characterization; shapes, faces, that jazz. pretty cool right? Yeah, but as reference for eye shapes my tutor used homestuck fan art as an example. Fucking. Homestuck. Fan art.
The tutor didn't know, but I did. and it was painful seeing his confused face as I wheezed and banged on the table out of how hard I was laughing. thing is, ANOTHER person actually knew homestuck very well, but only realized what the art was once I brought it up to him. And we both flipped our shit because we had been quietly talking about our favorite homestuck things throughout the day.
No one said anything because there are only five people at this course (including me), 2 who I go to school with and have afew classes with, and the trio of me, the homestuck lad, and another person I really like. So legit the hole class was just quiet except me and the lads laughter. But then we calmed down and quietly identified which character was which and the class continued.
Pretty sure this sounds like an r/thathappened story, but oh well. It is what it is and it was funny :)
Does anyone else have thoughts that think?
I like in a way where your internal narration is a person saying your thoughts and they just....stop moving there mouths but a little lower you hear THEIR thoughts, I've only gone in like 3 layers but the third one is really nice bit hase broken English. Stuff like "member to water and I luv you".
I'd like to know if others do this and if there's something wrong with my poopy bum brain
Honeycomb tastes like pale honey
Imagine the colour of a RICH and BEAUTIFUL golden honey colour..... Then make it pale. That's what honeycomb tastes like.
Have a nice day :)
Do any of ya'll just... Have this unconditional love for moths? Like any time I see a moth my mind goes "oh my sweetness, for what have I done to deserve the presence of such MAGESTY? The glory of the GODS do not compare to this utter beauty. If I may, dear moth, pick you up and put you apon the finest flora of which you could ever desire?" and then it flies away and your left there, oozing love for that glorious beast.
I don't know why I love them so much. Just... fluffy night butterflies.....
the elusive samurai has no right to be as absurdist and funny as it is. Truly a story about a bunch of adults trying to find a kid they don’t know the appearance of and having said kid play tricks on them under the guise of childhood games to level up video game style.
A guy who may be god and is aware of PC culture gatekeeps, gaslights and girlbosses said kid along with a bunch of other children he collected and sets them loose on unsuspecting adults to murder them with the final destination being that somehow they’re gonna overthrown Japan.
Jishi, once he finally wears MaoMao down into marrying him: I’m gonna take things real slow to not rush MaoMao and allow her to become comfortable before we take the next step in any form of intimacy.
MaoMao: I know more than you.
Marichat/Reverse Crush AU/How-stupidly-complex-can-we-make-the-love-square-until-its-incomprehensible AU/Or whatever the fuck you call this
It starts because Chat remembers Ladybug's voicemail asking if Marinette was "cute" way back with Evillustrator and snowballs with every dodged request for Multimouse on the grounds of "keeping her safe" since her "identity was known".
And Chat, as he's want to do, puts 2+2 together and gets fucking 23.
Now Chat thinks Ladybug is not only in love with Marinette, but has been secretly pretending to be in love with the famous oTheR BOy maybe to throw Chat off her scent, or maybe because she thinks he won't accept her, oh my god does she think he's homophobic??? What should he do???
Be a good friend and support her, that's what!
Meanwhile, Ladybug has been going through the 5-stages of grief thinking Chat has been scorned by Adrien Agreste at some point since every time she mentions the model Chat's response is increasingly hostile. At first she thought Chat hated Adrien, but all his comments seem to be critical of his inability to face conflict?? Or show his true feelings?? "Pretty boy" is said with such scorn that Ladybug (who is also the Anxiety-Catastrophic-inclining Marinette who regularly declares her own death at minor inconveniences and whenever she gets hit with her long list of secondhand embarrassments) has made up a whole backstory of how Chat is secretly bisexual and is using Ladybug to get over his horrific attempt at trying to express his feelings towards Adrien oh poor Chat she totally understands where you're coming from you poor kitty.
Cue Chat trying to wheedle out Ladybug's secret relationship with Marinette by making more comments about Multimous and how nice it was to do that mission with Marinette! Can he do it again? While also making more visits to her balcony to figure out why LB fell in love with his shy, awkward, yet brilliant classmate and oh god oh no she's actually really funny and sassy and way too cool for Chat or Adrien LB has fucking TASTE!!
(he also has been really emphasising his support for gay rights every time he hangs out with Ladybug (which isn't helping his 'secret pining bi' angle LB is frothing over) to the point where even local news outlets and the LadyBlog are debating whether Chat is queer af (which has always been a pretty firm belief in Paris, what with the leather outfit and hand gestures like ✨you know✨) or just pro-LGBT+)
On the other hand, Marinette has being trying to suss out this ""secret mean side"" of Adrien's that has made Chat into such a scorned lover, resulting in her being a little cooler to Adrien, which in turn has made her actually capable of speaking to him now he isn't some perfect figure on a pedestal.
("Plagg! Marinette frowned at me when I accidentally bumped into her today and told me to 'watch it, pretty boy' before leaving!!! She didn't stutter like usual, which I thought she did because she hated me, but what does this mean now????"
"That I'm not paid enough for this")
Except Chat has also been sniffing around her balcony a lot and she can't help but feel sorry for a fellow Adrien-Lover, so now she's been spending a lot of free nights with him and wow he's actually so sweet and shy beneath the flirty attitude and oh no he's actually kind of hot, and if Ladybug was the rebound from Adrien does that make Marinette a viable love interest??? W H A T???
This got away from me, but honestly we're at the point that it'd be so much funnier to make the lovesquare even more complex like yeah fuck it up you two dumbasses.
Anjali playing Fy'ra: I'm the smartest character so far, I'm mysterious, poised, collected, powerful, a badass beyond comprehensions, truly you all are protected under my watch, I will take care of you, a mother-figure in the making
Anjali being handed a pageant character: ACTUALLY FUCK Y'ALL I'M THE BELLE OF THE BALL
After finally watching Amphibia I have so many thoughts, not on how each girl embodies the characteristic of their respective gem (mind, heart, strength), but how each has another characteristic as their secondary strength, and the third as their greatest weakness.
As related to the image above, it's pretty well established that:
> Heart = Anne
> Mind = Marcy
> Strength = Sasha
But their characters aren't so one-dimensional that they simply fit those archetypes. After all, each character has been amazingly well fleshed out and have complex issues of morality and beliefs that they cannot be shoehorned. I know this will get long so I'll put it under the cut.
For example, Anne is known as the Heart by virtue of being able to empathise with almost anyone; her connections with others are shown to be her greatest strength throughout the show. However, it is easy to see that her greatest weakness is Mind. Not just from an intellectual point of view as the show already delved into in contrast to Marcy, but also her ability for manipulation and long-plan conception of consequences or even planning. Any of her 'calculating' attempts at manipulating her way out of situations only succeed in instances where she understands the other person, like with the Plantar family, but fall wayside with strangers because she has yet to understand their heart.
However, Anne's been shown to be incredibly athletic and stubborn to a fault, indicating that Strength is her secondary characteristic in relation to the Calamity Box.
By understanding this, we can see that Sasha's frankly overpowering physical strength and perseverance is supported by her calculating Mind. Without her raw social intellect, Sasha would never be able to subjugate others like she so successfully does within the show. Unfortunately, her inability to empathise and understand the emotional consequences of her actions have also been explored, indicating her failings at Heart.
Lastly, Marcy is incredibly intellectually intelligent and quick to understand and learn from her mistakes, making her the easiest to place as her characteristic, which is Mind. She is also shown to be kind and excited to make friends, as well as capable of understanding others and their motivations, even if she is prone to being a bit short-sighted when it comes to getting caught up in her interests, which makes Heart her secondary. While it can be argued she was physically weak back on Earth, her captaincy and expertise with rogue-like abilities show she is strong in a physical since coming to Amphibia. So why would her weakest aspect be Strength?
Well, Marcy's instance of running away from home and her problems to a fantasy world shows her inability to stand strong against personal conflicts which she has no control over. She is capable of admitting her mistakes, yes, but she struggles to confront her problems in the first place, instead choosing to run from her parents and even continuing to try to drag the girls further into other worlds to avoid her looming future.
It's just amazing how much thought has been put into balancing these girls' characteristics; not just against each other, but also within themselves. I hope in the future these weaknesses will be explored and overcome in various ways!
Truly is there anything more poetic than Beau & Veth showing perfect teamwork in pulling off an insane combo to get Beau flying through the air and collaring Trent in the last M9 ep, but then aggressively pivoting to Beau ripping out Scanlan's throat in the first kill of M9 V VM???
This last arc really is prompting the ✨Mollymauk Brainrot✨ to make a resurgence in the community.
Like Mr Mercer really rang the bell telling all the feral queer gender non-conforming little bastards to haul themselves out of the trash and come and get y'all juice.
If c1′s finale was a homage to a life well-lived, a heartfelt and bittersweet goodbye, with Liam O’Brien utilising his character to tell his friends how much they all mean to him, then c2 is a perfect parallel wherein everyone gets to finally say no to fate, to tell a friend that their life is worth everything, and also tell Taliesin Jaffe that through his character that they adore him.
Who would win in a fight?

Once is luck, twice is a coincidence, a regular occurrence is fucking witchcraft
A character study on gojou satoru (aka the jujutsu kaisetsu tag is just full of people going horny wild for this dick and I need to correct it)
Names an ultra powerful technique “red”. Genius. Inspired. Not. No matter what fancy words you put in front of it you still culminate in fucking “akai” you dick
Forcibly makes a curse hold hands with him cause he’s a queer person beyond comprehension (the man wears sunglasses inside and sluttily stands in an oversized sweater that slides off his shoulders don’t tell me otherwise) and I respect him greatly for it. Literally lured the fucker in with a smile and “come touch hands with me nothing untoward will happen I swear xx”. King shit
Sets himself up as a teacher for the sole purpose of making a peaceful revolution happen so he doesn’t have to kill every elder and get blacklisted. It’s too much work otherwise. Not the whole murder spree thing. Just being chased down would be annoying
Brings his demon child to work day for “education” but really it’s to flex and get some more hero worship. Child endangerment is not a concept, even if that child is recently resurrected. He grew back some limbs and a heart he will be fine in the heart of a volcano
Most mentors in anime hold back until a vitally important battle of life and death but gojou just wants to show his kids how cool he is!!! Will fight a demon lord for funsies. Bring out his ultimate dimension warping shit to teach a bitch a lesson. His doesn’t give a fuck
Most also down play their power so as to be ‘cool’ but he really goes around saying he could punch out the biggest bad around and only get a little tired. I would want to suplex him for being such a brat but the fucker really is that powerful god fuxking damn it
Everyone goes horny when he’s unmasked but he really just becomes like any other twink white-haired character who has/can/will be traumatised. Past trauma when anime??? I hope it explains why this man is such a bitch and why I love it otherwise the trauma has lied within me all along clearly
Knock-off kakashi who comes late everywhere and replies “places 💕” when people ask where the fuck he’s been. Same vibe as me constantly coming late to class with iced coffee, showing that I knew I was late and still went and got an overpriced beverage rather than sprint to make it. #QueerThings
Really is a gen z bastard boy who picks fights with conservative old fucks by messing with his bosses schedule and showing up just to tell this other school’s principal that the new students (that he hasn’t really taught??? I think??? But u know he will take credit) are gonna kick his ass in another few years. Why are you making threats now?? Here? Those kids are so fuxking stupid they try and kill each other before their fucked up killer sports festival even starts. None of them are thinking about overthrowing the government because none of them are political aware at all. That space is full up with rage at their prejudiced families or idol love. Please don’t trust them with this itadori’s quest in life is to swallow fingers and die he can’t focus on much more
It’s not like I miss him whenever he’s not in an episode it’s more like I worry that he’s doing some batshit crazy thing that’s gonna come up later by getting a child in severe danger. He could also be getting souvenirs but that most likely would be occurring concurrently with a very important mission so is that any better
Is good friends with an ex-salaryman with funky little glasses and an 80s leopard print tie who would aid him in overthrowing the higher ups because he too is anti-authoritarian on top of being anti-capitalist, but he is simply too horny for rules to be properly recruited
(but this man also happens to hold the unique trait in anime which is to believe that children should not be taking risks over adults which is something gojou has no comprehension of and never will so I will automatically respect the damn salary man over the most op fucker in this show)
Deliberately placed two boys who have made some kind of suicidal save-or-kill-each-other pact right next to each other in the dorm, despite there being plenty of other rooms, well aware they’ll either fuck the feelings out or commit double homicide before the years out. Anything for the teenage drama
Basically in 9 episodes I have learnt to both hate and adore the man in turn but unlike everyone else on this hellsite I would not even be paid to fuck him because he will turn up late for his own damn orgasm and spout some bullshit before trying to immediately leave to go commit more crimes against humanity. I fuxking hate to love him
*hearing the soothing voice of tiilei say “I’m here for you”*
Me, tearing up: m-mx kaner you give me life and serotonin free of charge. I would die for you
Unintentionally funny things in ‘I am in Eskew’ (aka me listening to an actual heterosexual podcast and finding every second brilliant in the worst kind of way)
Riyo’s *ratatata* of a hatch being opened in ep 15, sounding so similar to “I’m in the ghetto” that it wacked me out for a couple of seconds
The monotone of David’s voice as he does an awful *scree scree* in reflection of Kenneth’s fuxking stress ball like please my boy how the fuck did u manage to keep a straight face??? While recording THAT???
The entire “my supervisor and my supervisors supervisor” bit in ep 11 that went on forever? Even better when David thinks they’ve swapped roles and doesn’t even dignify changing the titles
The burial part presiding Allegra’s backstory, wherein David sounds unsure whether it is a religious thing or maybe a kink thing when the people starting getting horny for burying themselves. And the fact he and Allegra just go “aight” and leave to go talk about tragic backstory stuff
Allegra manically shouting “just fine!!! Alright then!” When her friends melt into goo as if that isn’t a whole ass gen z mood right there
David and Allegra beginning to date and stand together against eskew after experiencing the fucked up dance recital, only for David to get REALLY into human sacrifice through sack vore at his new job almost immediately. What the fuxk David
David seeing Kenneth as a mere flesh blood with a stress ball fused into his chest: ah, my prayers were answered I get to keep my best friend
David to Allegra: don’t worry, doors and walls have power here. The dancers won’t get through. *Dancers coming through the wall* here’s Johnny! Allegra:
*several strange packages appear on his doorstep* David, quite literally: this is fine *apartment nearly gets swallowed up by freaky tenant, but at least there’s a cereal bar in a jacket pocket* David: I’m winning *apartment finally gets swallowed up* David: aight imma go feral now thanks. I’ll take my hammer and haunt y’alls asses now good day
*stuck in an immigration office and being subject to a “safety check”* Riyo, a coloured woman: ah this shit again
*eskew gifts David a child who likes to play peek a boo over cornflakes* *david snatched away the box* check mate u little fucker
The whole series really just ending with David punching out his identity crisis and then???? Becoming a ghost??? A bird??? And riyo just being like: this was fun and eskew is gonna vore the world but I on the other hand am gonna go find a new dude to get cripplingly attached to
A heterosexual clearly wrote this ending
y’all are missing out on the funniest relationship dynamic of CR2
Forget about the tangled web of love that stretches between the M9 (barring Caduceus our aroace king of staying out of drama), I would love if the love triangle between Fjord, Jester and Caleb just somehow naturally fell into a little triad all on its own.
Like no dramatic love confessions, they do that shit constantly with each other in secret little ways, but just Jester coming home to her mother like
Jester: mama I want to introduce my partners to you
The Ruby: ah yes that handsome orc boy that you kept going on about, he was so--
The Ruby: wait, partners???
Jester: lmao yeah I have Fjord, who rejected an eldritch monster he was accidentally raising to get close with Mother Nature herself, but that hobo wizard who eventually cleaned himself up and became one of the most powerful casters around is also my bf.
The Ruby, the actual sex god on this plane of existence and all others: hell yeah my daughter deserves the best, get ‘em my baby girl.
The dynamics of it are so funny as well. Like, Caleb is a highly respected wizard now under the tutelage of several powerful figures, so any time he goes to some sort of elbow-rubbing-fancy-pancy wizard event he of course brings his beaus.
And people are like??? “Ah yes, members of the iconic and world-saving group you are part of Mr Widogast, they must be of such high pedigree.”
And then someone recognises Fjord as Captain Tusktooth who had some sort of fake accent going on for years at a time (and didn’t he sleep with that Captain lady who was horny for water or something??? And then get her killed by the pirate king? There was something about a forbidden eldritch god?) and is praying that Mr Widogast’s other partner is normal--
but the first thing that Jester tells anyone is: “have y’all heard about my mother, best lay in the land? I am the daughter of the greastest sexer around and my childhood imaginary friend is my personal god, anyway how are you?”
Even better, out of the three, the tiny blue tiefling is the only one who can pick up and hoist their partners around, making the comical sight of long-cat and long-suffering Caleb being slung bonelessly over one shoulder, while a blushing Fjord is held like a football under the other as Jester parades them down the street in her cute frilly dresses.
Fucking FjordxJesterxCaleb is where the good shit is at wake up sheeple

The most homophobic thing about the Strange Case of Starship Iris is the fact that the agents listening into the crew’s frankly terrible attempts at discussing emotions, bartering for glasses of ice, Brian and Krejjh’s cute as fuck spouse banter, and the romance drama between Kay/Violet or Sana/Campbell/Ricky, is the fact they have not stopped investigating just to let this fucking sitcoms of a disaster crew continuing running.
Rip to the regime but if my queer ass was an agent I’d be convincing the higher ups to let me listen to Kay fail to woo Violet with mint leaves for hours.
Having finally finished Book 2/3 of Infinity Train, now more than ever can I appreciate the journey Tulip took through the train in order to get her exit.
Tulip’s lessons were all about accepting change, good or bad, and forging your own path in the wake of these changes. An extensive lesson of “rolling with the punches” and doing your best to make something out of yourself from it. That’s why it’s so fascinatingly ironic that Tulip’s journey to accepting change created the biggest changes in the Infinity Train universe.
Whilst Tulip is only occasionally referenced in the next 2 books, her presence and actions are distinctly felt — beyond even Lake and their identity/journey. Without her, 1-1 would’ve never returned to being the true conductor, Amelia would’ve never stepped into the path of redemption, and the easy-to-follow guide of the train would’ve never been reintroduced.
It definitely could be argued that Jesse had a significantly easier time of the train than Tulip, having known what it was about from the beginning with 1-1’s video. Tulip had no clue about the train or her number, but somehow managed to set right dozens of wrongs.
By sorting Amelia’s whole situation out, there would’ve never been anyone to help Grace take that last step in recognising her belief in ‘the conductor’ was wrong, and allow her to complete her own redemption arc. Apex would’ve likely fallen apart sooner or later with the conflict between Simon and Grace around Hazel, but no one would’ve been there to make that push for Grace to question everything and fight to set it right.
Even without physically being there, Tulip’s actions to accept change in her life allowed her to fundamentally change others. The train allows people to change their lives for the better, but Tulip shows that becoming a better person can extend to helping others.
TLDR: Infinity Train is a fuxking sick story and I love it.
*The collective TMA fandom, on their knees, begging for months for Mr Sims sir to reintroduce the Fucked Up Medicine Students because they were a delight and we love them*
Mr Jonny Master-Of-Psychological-Torture Sims, psychically forcing down another finger on the monkey paw: oh, is this what you want? *creates Episode 182*
Everyone: NOT LIKE THIS! NOT LIKE THIS! TAKE IT BACK! WHY IS THERE SO MANY AWFUL SOUND EFFECTS????? JONNY STOP!!
Everyone in the tags is like: “don’t worry OP it gets better! Stick it out! Jon becomes less of a bastard later on! Soon they’ll both be pining and you’ll love it!”
Me, halfway through S2 and Jon’s ongoing and full-on ‘I’m-going-through-a-complete-paranoid-psychotic-breakdown-rn-and-i’m-dragging-all-you-fuckers-with-me’ rage fest, which includes verbally harassing and stalking Martin: uh-huh. sure.
*Hears all about TMA and how Jon and Martin are one of the most tender and heartbreaking romances in podcasting*
*Me, ecstatic for some more sweet gay pining, starts listening from the beginning*
Jon, first ep: so yeah those new researchers in the archives Sasha and Tim are on thin fuxking ice but fuck that Martin guy, he’ll never amount to anything
Me:
S5!Jon, deeply traumatised and waist-deep in The Eye: i am nothing more than a monster. who could ever love me? I have committed so many sins and I know I will never be forgiven for the blood on my hands. I will always be alone
Martin, standing with a knife in hand, ready to commit a murder, and having rejected a bunch of entities to chase after Jon: am I a joke to you?
