fandom as a whole is migrating away from a mutual appreciation of a story and towards an endless cycle of nitpicking and discourse and frankly that’s just Exhausting
Its just an endless stream of “you’re doing it wrong”. You’re reading this wrong, you’re appreciating this character wrong, you’re appreciating this character too much, you’re not appreciating this character enough, its not enough that I don’t like this pairing but it’s wrong to like it, you’re enjoying this wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
Hey is the build a bear employee supposed to force us to jump up and down or are we getting hazed
as a build-a-bear employee it is my honor to happily inform you that we get to make everyone do whatever the fuck we want during a heart ceremony. jump to get that heart beating. rub that heart to your knees so your furry friend always needs you. rub it to your toes so it’s totally awesome! shake it up so it’s got enough energy to hang out with you all day! close your eyes, make a wish, and give it a kiss you helpless motherfucker
I’ve talked about this in other interviews. To me, it’s disturbing
whenever I see authority figures embracing Punisher iconography because
the Punisher represents a failure of the Justice system. He’s supposed
to indict the collapse of social moral authority and the reality some
people can’t depend on institutions like the police or the military to
act in a just and capable way.
The vigilante anti-hero is fundamentally a critique of the justice
system, an example of social failure, so when cops put Punisher skulls
on their cars or members of the military wear Punisher skull patches,
they’re basically sides with an enemy of the system. They are embracing
an outlaw mentality. Whether you think the Punisher is justified or not,
whether you admire his code of ethics, he is an outlaw. He is a
criminal. Police should not be embracing a criminal as their symbol.
@ these racist cops: Even the creator of the Punisher is calling yall out lol
@mrbenibo remember that discussion we had on the pervasiveness of it lmao we know exactly what it was rooted in. Same with military folks.
it really is next to impossible to write realistic sibling dialogue, I just passed my brother on the stairs and instead of greeting each other like human beings I said ‘born survivor’ and he said ‘youtube rewind. let’s set it to rewind.’ like you ain’t gonna find that shit in a novel
aw man writing siblings is so wild because sometimes you just can’t portray it
me and my little brother don’t even greet each other - if we pass each other on the stairs or in the corridor, we jump into ridiculous fight stances then feign karate chopping and slapping each other (stopping just before we make contact) whilst making “HIIIYA” and “POW” noises for a solid 30 seconds, then silently walk off and continue what we were doing
and then sometimes he’ll either just do the Had To Do It To ‘Em pose when I enter the room or dab as a greeting
exactly! I have three younger brothers and the original post was just about the oldest, the middle one and me usually do some kind of elaborate dab also, and a lot of the time when I see the youngest I just yell his name like a wrestling commentator…siblings have a different language
Last night I went up to my brother and said “Are we snakes?” by which I meant “Do you want to go to steak and shake for burgers at four am?” and he responded “Death is coming.” which I understood meant “Yes, but I’m tired so it’ll have to be earlier.” and somehow, without any further conversation, we both wound up in the car going to steak and shake at two am.
If you sibling long enough your conversations become divorced from human language entirely.
i dunno my brother and i just burst into each other’s rooms to yell about anime and manga or some other random shit. we don’t leave our rooms much.
Started watching this show Aoi Honoo again today. It’s still brilliant.^^
Kind of an important thing people seem to forget.
If you wanna make something you really should just make it.
Proof:
My favorite part about ONE is that despite his lack of ability to draw characters and backgrounds (a lack of ability which is rapidly going away. Look at early OPM vs. current Mob Psycho) he’s really good at perspective and the rules of like, motion.
So much so that before Mob Psycho (and possibly the Manga of OPM) people were under the impression he was intentionally drawing at that level to satirize the low-budget and sketchy art of popular shonen.
