Another #savetf2 event to complain about the TF2 bot problem is coming up on June 3rd! They've set up a site with a petition to sign too to send to Valve to see if we can put enough pressure on them to actually DO SOMETHING. It might come to nothing, but I want to try at least. I had to fight tooth and nail against bots to do the Halloween event - some of the time I just had no choice but to fight bots to fill the contracts - and I couldn't do the Smissmas event at ALL because the bots were just so oppressive. >:( It's unacceptable! And it's so unfair because TF2 is STILL a good game after all this time, it holds up really well, so much love was put into it and it shouldn't be like this!

Anyway, sign the petition and post on the 3rd!

as a knitter, you start to notice how rare it is for characters in tv shows and movies to knit correctly. from worst to best, it ranges from:

- laughably incorrect, just flinging yarn around

- knitting the most basic scarf incredibly slowly because the actor Learned How To Do It For The Role

- old lady actresses casually knitting an intricate lace pattern while doing a monologue

- gromit from wallace and gromit

1. that’s a garter stitch, which you can clearly see despite it being made of clay

2. they took the time to animate a modified continental style of knitting, including showing how his working yarn is wrapped around his pinky, and that he’s flicking with his index on his right hand

3. he only has four fingers and yet this is better than the vast majority of knitting on tv

3 days of excess

If anyone says the English dub isn’t good at all, they’re a damn filthy liar.

Some cute OCs from some really nice artists~ @DoremianC @FarfinFarfin @superiorMARI

The Addams Family renting out rooms in their huge mansion cheaply to broke college students.

The students digging it because the craziness and the bugs are pretty much the same as any other dorm house. Also, Morticia and Gomez treat them all like visiting cousins, not like tenants to abuse and exploit. 

One of the tenants is a creative writing major and Gomez and Morticia house them up in the tower because of the quiet and the inspiring view

They’re supposed to be working on a typical coming-of-age story but after living with the Addams for just a week the project is becoming a horror-Gothic-romance

They go to their room after classes one day and find Thing correcting the grammar errors in the manuscript with a red pen 

and yeah, the students pay roughly market value for their rooms, but that doesn’t stop gomez from shouting “capital idea!” and handing them wads of cash when they tell him about their weekend plans or what they’re researching, so they basically end up living there for free

In the same vein, half the them have to turn into exceptional fencers, because Gomez just doesn’t give a shit, and if he sees you in the library, its fucking Sword Fighting Time. 

Fester and Pugsley find out one of the college students is trying to get into chemistry and woo boy, there has never been a faster study of how to counter various acidic chemical reactions due to “water” balloons in campus history. 

Morticia and Grammy are keeping the horticulturalists on their toes with their Black Tulip/Rose hybrids, which can flick their barbs a foot away from their stem system. But it’s fine, one of the kids has managed to breed Aloe with the anti venom. 

Lurch makes sandwiches for everyone who’s too much of a coward for Grammy’s cooking. Any music major will find him looming over them, utterly stone faced as they practise until they finish, when he’ll smile, and slowly applaud. 

And the spookiest thing of all

Wednesday and Thing will find your thesis. They will critique it in every way imaginable. 

There is no escape. 

I especially love the idea of Gomez spotting a student in the library, throwing a sword at a startled student, shouting, “En garde!” and lunging at him/her with a sword of his own.

Student (later in life), when asked how she jumps from quietly doing research to handling a sudden influx of ER cases so quickly and easily, says, “When you have to snap out of deep concentration on biochem to fight for your life then get back to biochem without losing your train of thought…you learn or you die.”

This has made me laugh so hard-

this 50′s hungarian comic strip I’d never heard of until now is so damn cute for something that also gets so horny

It helps that the writer was trying to create something he hoped would appeal to women as much as men.

Yeah and I think where it really succeeds vs. modern anime wifey fantasy shit is that Jucika really is just a character super comfortable with being sexual, likes looking sexy and even has no shame in using it to get her way:

….But at the same time, she doesn’t tolerate being objectified against her wishes:

….And the comic takes her side in both cases, whereas I’ve seen countless modern narratives in which this same character would have only been framed as like a Slutty ™ Bitch ™ or full blown villain.

One of the things I also really like about this comic, besides what’s already been stated, is that the humor isn’t always about her being sexy. Sometimes it’s just about other goofy things in her life!

oh yes many of them are experienes just anybody can relate to

but then there’s also the time she just….built a functional AI?

she just didn’t predict how the robot rebellion would really manifest

With every new Pokemon game comes a new cute lady for me to get obsessed over

Nessa

I started modeling Nessa months ago, when she was first revealed, but got sidetracked thanks to Legend of Zelda again haha

But here she is~ -Mark

Last minute #HiveTheme, Knights and Swords! The town of Podunkello is like, 75% safe with these four around!

I think it was before I started posting story concepts on tumblr but I had an old concept called ‘apocalyptia’ which was a dark comedy about a world where every apocalypse movie premise happened simultaneously

The big joke was that all these HUGE disasters cancelled each other out. A bunch of shit flooding kept the zombies contained. The super intelligent apes stopped global warming. The leather-clad motorcycle murder gangs intimidate the alien invaders.

Everything sucks in like 8 overlapping ways but it’s just become the norm at this point. There’s a guy named Cannibal Jack that people trust to cook for them for some reason.

The main character is a recluse with a shotgun who just wants to sit in her shack and give cynical advice to passing young people, but unfortunately, her younger brother and only surviving family member is a conman with his fingers in every stupid decision being made within a ten mile radius

The brother’s name is Sal, which is short for SOMETHING but he changes his answer every time. He seems to think this qualifies as an alias, and bizarrely, it usually works. Notable ‘definitely Sal’s real name’ options include Salt, Salmon, Salamander, and Salad.

His sister’s name is Marian, occasionally called Misery Marian. It is a running joke that young characters think this is a reference to her bad attitude, but anyone who actually CALLS her that is clearly terrified of her for some unspecified reason.

How does nuclear war or meteor strikes fit in?

AI uprising takes control of the nukes and destroys the meteors. It uses all of the nukes up in doing so.

I had some people ask for these recently, since the originals went down with my old site.  So here it is.  Spawner of a million imitators. An “official” upload of Sonic’s Big Fat Adventure originally posted in December 2009.

And when I say I lost my shit–and by all lost gods did I– I mean it.

When Zelda appoints Link despite your obviously superior skills

Scientist 1, an absolute slut for Christmas: EARLY CHRISTMAS IS GOOD FOR YOU

Scientist 2, ready to burn every Christmas tree within a 10 mile radius because it’s not even Thanksgiving yet: IF I HEAR A SINGLE JINGLE BELL, I WILL DIE

Obvious solution: silently decorate your tree.  Yay! 

decorating your tree is a choice, it’s enrichment, it makes your environment better ( to your standards) and brings your family together

christmas music is everywhere, it’s inescapable, if you work retail you have to hear it 8 hours a day, and if you’re not Christian or have issues with Christmas it drives you even battier than usual 

makes sense to me 

I read an article that was objectively stupid but actually had a valid answer to this specific thing. Basically - people who enjoy things in the winter are more likely to be happy when winter arrives. So if you enjoy Christmas Decorations, you will feel really happy when you put them up.  But if you hate winter, then Christmas Music is just a reminder to you that Winter is coming.

It helps that the former is seen as a positive thing you get to do as a fun activity, and the latter is seen as an encroachment of corporations pressing Christmas down into you, so the reaction people give is the polar opposite. But basically it’s just explaining what we already know - people who like winter are happy in winter, and people who hate winter aren’t happy in winter.
