dc: *visible confusion* wait i tho-

fans: more Good Dad Bruce Wayne!

dc: *sweats nervously* what- how- we thought an abusive asshole punching mentally ill people would-

fans: *slams the table* MORE DAD LESS SAD

less angst more found family

When I was “I want him” about a male character im not saying I wanna fuck him. I want him like a spoiled little girl wants a pony, I want to him so I can put him on my shelf for safekeeping, I want him like a good hearty stew on a winter’s evening, I want to put him in a jar and shake it.

Live Action Animatsu vs Otoutomatsu Dance Off!

I find it funny that for these short vids promoting Snow Man's new song, "Dangerholic", they decide to group themselves into animatsu and otoutomatsu.

Song's pretty bop too! Gives me hesokuri casino AU vibes type of fun.

Man now I really wish there's an actual matsu animatics of this choreo

Animatsu Gang • Otoutomatsu Gang • End, Period, Close Gang • Dangerholic MV

P.S. Koji you're going too low what are those knees bro???

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an  adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol 

And they were gay for each other

#no sorry its bc people fell off cliffs a lot in Jin Yong novels#and now all the ancient historical chinese men in dramas and novels have to fall off cliffs#it's like the tolkien spider#european authors dont have a spider kink its just tolkien#chinese authors dont have a cliff kink its just Jin Yong - explained by @tavina-writes

#the amazing thing to me is everyone who falls off a cliff somehow mages to survive#the yeeting cliff#I wait for it in every wuxia tags from @rojaloca

See, this is where we are forgetting our genre roots because the MAIN Jin Yong cliff guy (Qiao/Xiao Feng from Demi Gods and Semi Devils) who I think actually is the guy most people think of when a Jin Yong man falls off a cliff very much DID die of his cliff falling.

(He even threw himself off in front of BOTH his sworn brothers bc he was also part of a uh, well, a bad decisions sworn brother throuple. Lets just say that.)

[two people have reacted with 😂.]

Is kneeling all night/in snow/in rain to show devotion or penitence a Jin Yong thing, too, or is it a more general Chinese trope?

I think kneeling as punishment is a more general Chinese society thing, so alas! Jin Yong did not invent that!

he also invented and or popularized: the wuxia iteration of doomed sworn brother throuples (specifically in sets of three), shizunfucking (and also the shizun death arc and also shizun's coffin kink), wuxia hero is a good archer, a surprising number of chess formations that get mentioned in wuxia, corpse bug poison (and tbh a lot of other poisons), men with fans who also fight with said fans, the torture music (and also the og wuxia flute soloist), musical cultivation (see torture music), throwing yourself off a cliff, specifically a game of dice ending with someone having smashed the dice to dust....a very specific type of sexy murder lady, the guqin(orthodox cultivator)/xiao(heretical cultivator)type ship, other highly specific things you start seeing EVERYWHERE....

I'm pretty sure he didn't invent the sexy brothel murder lady since that was Gu Long's contribution to the genre but yknow there's lots he invented and or popularized that I'm forgetting.

That is the funniest fucking response to anything I’ve ever seen in my life ever

A BUNCHA IDIOTSSSSSSS

it obviously makes sense, but one of my friend’s kids is going into swim class, and all the parents got an email today going, “when little ones are scared, they cling on to instructors. PLEASE trim their nails.” 

i don’t know why that’s so funny to me, but just. the idea of this poor, scratched swim instructor having to make sure to email before each class as a reminder to please declaw the children SENT me. 

When I taught swim lessons I remember trying to delicately ask parents not to cover their child in shea/coconut/olive oil before lessons.

“I understand your skincare regimen and wanting to protect their tender baby flesh from the pool chemicals, but COULD YOU NOT OIL YOUR CHILD LIKE A GREASED PIG before tossing them in the POOL? Thanks EVER so much!”

More people should abandon Internet discourse and get into observing/engaging with local politics. I say this not because local politics often offers more meaningful opportunities for effective praxis (although it does), but because local politics often offers just as much highly toxic and entertaining petty drama.

I highly recommend city council meetings. You might make yourself an informed voter and active community member or something. You also might get to watch an ongoing soap opera of old men ready to murder one another over trash collection ordinances, and unlike the Internet, none of them can effectually tell one another to kill themselves no matter how hard and how clearly they are thinking it.

Armageddon is one of the few DVDs I didn’t sell because Ben Affleck on the commentary track is relentless. Below is the clip of the commentary from where this tidbit of trivia came from. Please take a moment to witness the magic.

this is so fucking funny

Ice delivery man in Houston, TX circa 1920 Check this blog!

why did he eat this 

#the hip pop… the cigarettes in the hat…#how many kids from pre-electric refrigeration look suspiciously like this guy I wonder…#POV: You are a bored housewife whose husband is constantly away on business trips and barely looks at you when he gets home#and this guy is rolling up to your house on like a weekly basis with a block of ice and his WWI thousand yard stare

Historian finishing a dissertation on the ice industry here. For once, I am not here to take away your joy!  “Oh no, the ice man is too sexy and he’s going to fuck my wife while I’m not home” was a legit moral panic for DECADES. So much so that if you were fancy, you could get an icebox built into your wall so the dirty, sexy ice man didn’t have to come inside your house with your delicate, impressionable wife.  This pic is going in the diss if I can chase down the correct citation for it.
