Look at her face. She did not expect it to be this easy and is going through several dozen emotions at once.

Let's Read Peanuts (You WILL believe an unremarkable white boy can become president) – September 1958

There are lots of great strips I just don't have room to comment on. I strongly encourage everybody to read the full month at the official GoComics page. Today's month starts HERE.

September 3, 1958

I like how Charlie Brown went from wanting to be the literal president to wanting to drive a school bus. He is torn between the desire to move armies and shape the course of human history and the desire to make a big car go vroom-vroom.

September 5, 1958

Like me, Charlie Brown is also not sure if that was racist or not.

September 7, 1958

A doomed endeavor, sure. But you can’t fault her strategy. That line about how it’s perfectly normal and common for friends to make out has been responsible for at least 65% of all first gay experiences. 

I don’t even think it’s about being in the closet. Men just really seem to love kissing people platonically.

September 12, 1958

Hey now, I can kind of see it working in a sweet/savory synergy kind of way. It would probably have a bit of a kettle corn vibe to it.

In fact…

~One trip to the kitchen later~

OK, so I was half right. The flavor itself is kind of what I imagined, but the texture is off and raw sugar alone doesn’t actually add enough flavor to work with the saltiness of the chips. It’s more blah than gross, really. If you were to create some kind honey glaze and bake it directly onto the chips though you might have a real winner.

September 13, 1958

Schroeder’s otherwise very dapper look here is completely undercut by the fact that he paired a suit jacket with short-shorts.

September 18, 1958

Have we seen Linus use his blanket as a weapon before today? Either way I’m not comfortable with him having access to this sort of firepower.

September 21, 1958

This was such a low-effort con on Lucy's part that I just can’t be mad at her. In fact I'm pretty sure her plan had several more steps we'll never get to see because Charlie Brown took the bait before she could get to the clever part.

September 25, 1958

He’s dead, Linus.

"Hellfire" storyboards for The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)

[gaypyro]

chronological lineup of the main characters of "Arnica" - our project based on Tandem AU, which has been in development for almost a year (we started coming up with it somewhere around January 2024)

our heroes are called Nico and Arthur

Arthur is a young king who had to ascend the throne early

Nico is a little genie, currently chained to his mirror. Arthur's loyal friend and assistant

the kids' lives are full of difficulties, and only by being each other's support do they get through them

unfortunately, I won't share with you any more details about this story for now, since we would like to keep some secrets until the comic with them starts to come out, for which we have everything ready in terms of the plot ^^

Off the coast of Australia Macroctopus caught the shark, wrapped all its tentacles around it and soon released it. Most likely, he scraped all the parasites off her.

“So let me get this straight. We’re here to rescue a princess.”

“That’s right.”

“At the request of a princess.”

“Right again.”

“And you, who will be leading the expedition, are also a princess.”

“You’re very perceptive.”

“How big is your royal family, again?“

“We don’t have one.”

“But–“

“We overthrew our monarchy centuries ago, but we kept most of the titles around. The rank of ‘princess’ is held by the directors in charge of various civil service branches.“

“Huh. And the princess we’re rescuing today is in charge of…?”

“Public sanitation.”

“The Lord of Death’s Dominion kidnapped your public sanitation director?”

“We think he’s a little confused.”

[gaypyro]

fuck yeah !!!!!!!!!

[gaypyro]

Hey ever notice how . . . deliberate the melting scene is in the 1939 movie?

I mean, think about it. Who was the one leading the charge the entire time? The Scarecrow. Who seemed to know exactly where to go? The Scarecrow. And who led them into a corner where there just happened to be a convenient bucket of water, the one thing that supposedly can kill the Wicked Witch?

The Scarecrow.

And who oh-so-conveniently put out their arm for Elphaba to light on fire and then position himself just right so that when Dorothy put out the fire, she would also splash the Witch?

The Scarecrow.

You cannot convince me this whole thing wasn't planned from start to finish. It makes too much sense! Albeit I'm sure Fiyero had severe reservations about this whole damn thing.

But hey, it worked pretty perfectly.

The things one does for love~

I think a big reason it feels like it's handling the stuff better is not just the writer, but the setting as a whole.

Namely, it's writers haven't escalated things to absurd levels nor done a "Kitty Pride says the N-Word" moment.

Or, for lack of a better term, there are no government sanctioned Genocide Robots or the nation is so obsessed with Lynching that nothing else in the setting matters from sheer scale of everyday atrocities, and the writers haven't gotten so far up their own ass they've portrayed the actual IRL Minorities as having 'lesser' struggles to the mutants. The first Kamala Khan Mutant Issue literally having them make a Gay Black Man get lectured by a Straight White Woman in from a (Probably at least Bi-Curious) Muslim Girl about "real" oppression felt so fucking dirty.

UXM feels real because it's writer is trying to stay grounded.

Ultimate X-Men is probably one the best executions of the mutant metaphor. Something a lot of X-Men books struggle with. It mixes real world social issues with mutanthood perfectly.

It's a little frustrating that a lot of crusty old X-Men fans turn their nose on it. Like yeah insert not everything is for everyone line here. But like the weird reaction some people had to it. And how I'm pretty sure a lot of them didn't even read to based on how they talk about it despite criticizing it is weird.

It's just really neat to see the X-Men here started as a youth movement inspired in part by Storm, a freedom fighter in Africa. Mei's X-Men is starting to resemble more of what you would picture the Brotherhood to look like.

There's part of this series that reminds me of Kamen Rider Black. Another show that mixes real world social and political issues with its fantastical elements. Even the cult part is a little similar.

At the time of which I write, Ozma's best friend and most constant companion was a little Kansas girl named Dorothy, a mortal who had come to the Land of Oz in a very curious manner and had been offered a home in Ozma's palace. Furthermore, Dorothy had been made a Princess of Oz, and was as much at home in the royal palace as was the gentle Ruler. She knew almost every part of the great country and almost all of its numerous inhabitants. Next to Ozma she was loved better than anyone in all Oz, for Dorothy was simple and sweet, seldom became angry and had such a friendly, chummy way that she made friends where-ever she wandered.

One of the funniest writing tricks that Warframe pulls is Vay Hek. He's clearly the over-the-top bellowing villain you write for the games 1st year of production. He can't wait to tear you limb from limb. He is "meet the grineer, they are hyper violent space orcs."

But now, 10+ years in to Warframes development, the grineer have some real history and character behind them. We have met other grineer counselors, they are intelligent, imposing, cruel, and well written.

But also Vay Hek is still there. And he shows up to all the meetings screaming about he invented a new zombie bioweapon with chainsaw arms. The other grineer counselors just have to deal with him because he's an elected official.

Just a silly idea I had about a haunted or cursed doll that gets picked up by a doll modder & given a makeover.
