I just watched Sinners and I'm not that smart but I'm gonna ramble about it

I loved Remmick. I loved him because of how much I was itching to be in his clan.

Culture is being forced and stolen by him but on the outside it looks like paradise. Join him and you will have dozens of others' history and culture, you will get to see the beauty and horrors they have experienced. And that sounds wonderful to me. I have people that I have learned more about now that they're dead. I have people who are alive that I don't have the time to learn about. I have people who are alive that don't want me to learn more about them.

I wish I could just take their experiences, their memories, their culture, and insert into my brain. I want to be closer to them. I want to learn more about their culture and experiences and for them to learn more about mine.

Let me dance like you do. Let me sing like you do. Let me cook like you do. Let me understand you in a way that is impossible to be unless I strip us both of our humanity.

But culture is meant to be shared willingly. Learned willingly. I can't just take the easy route. That'd be a disservice to them and their memory.

i was told how I had whooping cough as a baby for years. But in a cute way. The primary focus of the story was how my dad walked everyday with me tucked in his coat to breathe in the cold winter air because that was what the doctor told them to do…and now I truly realize that that’s ALL they could do to try and ease whatever discomfort and pain I was in. So maybe this cute version was their way of trying to make a horrible memory a little less horrible…and not scare the crap out of me as a kid

Whooping cough cases have surged in the US since the beginning of the year, infecting Americans at a faster pace than any time since the mid-1950s as national vaccination rates decline and protection wanes. The bacterial infection also known as pertussis has sickened 8,077 people in the US through April 16, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s more than double the same period a year ago, when the agency confirmed 3,847 cases, and rivals the 2012 outbreak that was the biggest in half a century. At least four people have died from whooping cough this year, including two infants in Louisiana, an adult in Idaho and a child in South Dakota who was infected with both influenza and pertussis.

"Dude, I had the most craziest dream."

"Was it you being brutally injured and still living due to immortality again?"

"No-well yes, kinda, we went on a field trip to earth and it was a animal sanctuary or something. All the animals get out. It's mostly hippos."

"Ooooh noooo..."

"Yeah, so we end up trapped in the giftshop with the kids and workers and I'm holding the door up while a hippo is trying to break in and I'm telling Dora to hand me a broom-"

"A broom? What's a broom going to do against a hippo?"

"Let me finish, it was either a broom or a fire extinguisher-"

"Ahh."

"-and Dora is acting like the 7 year old valley girl she is and not listening to me. So after like screaming at her to hand me the freaking thing she does so only to snatched by a hippo that breaks through the window."

"Oh shit! Does she die??"

"No. She gets scooped up by it's snout and basically rides it like a mechanical bull before I grab her by the ankle and chuck her back inside and have to fight the hippo."

"How'd that feel?"

"Fighting a hippo? Awesome.

"No I mean chucking Dora by the ankle."

"....I love her...but it was satisfying. Oh and then I woke up."

"What's a hippo?" it was that moment that the two remembered that they were not alone at the lunch table.

"It's a large mammal on Earth."

"Sounds pretty terrifying based on your dream." Quip mumbled through his lunch.

"They are." both humans replied. "but they're cute looking." Added Max. He showed them a photo on his phone.

"...how is that dangerous?? It looks like a fatter cow." Quip snorted.

"Couldn't you just outrun them? Their legs are so little." cooed Op.

"Is it a herbivore?" curiously asked Glip.

"They sometimes eat meat but mostly eat plants and stuff. Also they're fast."

"Really?" they all ask.

"Let's see...8 km/h in the water and 30 to 40km on land. Oh and the average human is 24km on land and 1 to 3 in the water."

"Oh quizknack."

"So they are like a cow?"

"If cows killed 500 humans a year and could snap you in half with their jaws then yeah."

"..." "..." "..."

"Really makes you rethink the I want a hippopotamus for Christmas song." muses Kim.

"WHY WOULD YOU WANT ONE OF THOSE DEATH EATERS FOR CHRISTMAS?!" hisses Quip

"-and if they show signs of any of these symptoms. DO. NOT. COME. This is a highly contagious illness and they should be quarantined immediately. In fact, you yourself will get sick."

"Is it really that contagious?"

"Ms. Poppy, it is so contagious that it shuts down entire schools."

"Oh my..."

"So quarantine is very important, okay? Your child may return 3 days after their symptoms go away. Anymore questions? ...no? Okay, that will be all, thank you for your time--"

"Wait! What about the other families? The uh, aliens?" blurts out Ms. Poppy

"Are you asking if they can catch it too?"

"Yes."

"While this virus has not been yet tested for that I don't believe so. Testing with other diseases and illnesses show us that 99.9% of them are unable to be passed between humans and other species. Your child's fellow classmates should be safe as should your co-workers."

.

Quarantine is still in effect. Stay inside. If you or your loved one are experiencing any symptoms call the med bay and have the infected wait outside of your living quarters. You will be escorted as soon as possible. Most common symptoms are nausea, fever, vomiting, and dehydration. Repeat. Quarantine is still in effect. Stay inside.

The halls go silent again. On a work day this was unheard of. The wide halls should be full. Full of bodies, full of chatter, full of activity. Now they are empty and quiet. Not even the hum of the AC was present. The only noise the humans heard was their own breathing and the soft crunches of the discarded masks they stepped on.

The shorter one peered into each room they passed and in each one saw not single living being. A automated pilot waved at them from the control centre and they slowly waved back.

"How much longer until we reach the nearest station?"

<15 hours> it replied.

"...how many are sick now?"

<50% of the entire ship are infected. 15% of them are almost recovered now>

"...how many became infected from the young-"

"Don't. Ignore that question." interrupts the taller.

<Understood> the automated pilot goes back to steering the ship and the humans leave.

..

"I can't wait till we reach the station." groans a bearded human.

"How much do you think we made with all this overtime?" jokes another.

Silence and unamused looks are his only response.

"...sorry. I'm trying to lighten the mood."

"We know it's just...too soon." the bearded man motioned to the short and tall human sitting in the back.

"Oh shit-guys, I-I'm sorry. You know I didn't mean anything by it right?"

"We know Reese." the taller one sighed.

"A-and you guys know that this wasn't your fault right? I mean there was no way you could know-hell the fucking med coalition didn't even know!"

"..."

"He's right you know. I read over the papers and there is no way you are at fault. Either of you...Kim. Look at me."

"But I should have canceled the fucking party!" the chair slams to the ground as the human shouts. "I should have just canceled the party! I knew that there was a chance that Oscar and Theo were still contagious, but I still let them come considering that they were the only humans!"

"Kim, I could have canceled the party too-"

"I'm the one who knows just how contagious it is though Max!! The place I worked at before shut down for a whole week because of this, I should've known." Kim whimpered red faced.

"But you didn't!" Max retorted. "You didn't, I didn't, and the goddamn coalition didn't! No one knew because they didn't test it yet because we all thought that it was biologically impossible."

"..."

"You are not at fault for Fenrir, Calis, or anyone else getting sick. Now quit blaming yourself, eat your damn food, and lets get back to work. We still have another 12 hours till we reach the station."

"Max, that's too harsh-" Kim wiped her face and ate while Max rubbed her back.

...

"First mate Calis, good to see you on your feet again."

"Yes, well, I was going mad from my mate and young treating me like I was made of star dust."

"You say that like its a bad thing!"

"It is if its for more than a week." they smirked.

"So...what was it? Enemy attack? Chemical spill? What was it that made half the ship so ill?"

"Norovirus. A common human illness that is incredibly contagious."

"...I thought that illnesses couldn't be-"

"We all did. But somehow this virus did. Not only that but it's symptoms and effects are worse in most other species."

"You said it was common though?"

"Yes. It is. Millions get it every year on Earth."

"Well. It seems I'll be taking Earth off my list of planets I wish to visit."

I've seen a lot of posts and things about Inosuke just handing the person he loves a pretty rock as a wedding proposal and I say give the human race some damn credit!!

we've all smashed a rock with another rock to see what's inside right? it's in our dna! the cavemen did it! not only that but figured out how to make shapes/tools out of rocks by carefully breaking them. so. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE FERAL BOY WOULD DO SURROUNDED BY ROCKS?!

This is my headcanon! Inosuke does give pretty rock to person he loves but only after spending time looking for the best one! He would smash the shit out those rocks, pick the best one, and then if he's a romantic would try and make it a nice shape easy for turning it into a trinket/jewelry!!

he's a feral little goblin but when he chooses his person he dies on that hill! look at how he treats Tanjiro! I don't care if you ship them or not, just look at that dedication of the boy!! Tanjiro is stuck with Inosuke, bros for life, platonic soulmates, husband and boar!!

...can we all agree that the maiden of pure heart bit in Death of a Unicorn is actually just grieving ladies forming a bond with an animal that shares that grief via the hive mind thing they now have after said ladies poked the horn and saw the cosmos?

or am I the only one who got that vibe?

[stubz]

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

I got my wisdom tooth removed and tell me why it will take like more than a month for it to fully heal??? ITS ONE TOOTH WITH ONLY ONE OF THE ROOT THINGYS

I feel cheated by my ancestors and the world for being 75% evolved and stopping there. Coulda not had the surgery had they not failed me

I watched the wild robot and nearly cried. I never thought I’d connect so much with a freaking duck but I did and I spent the whole movie yelling at the screen that I’d eat every single animal that was mean to him. It got real intense when we met the flock…

I really thought tho that the main conflict was gonna be a human. I thought a human was gonna wash up on the island and create this tear between Roz’s found family and her original purpose which is to help HUMANS.

and I am all for that for some fic or something. Cause like imagine nearly dying at sea, getting washed ashore to this island with no civilization in sight and you probably have zero tools or knowledge to help you survive. You spend days or weeks barely getting by, your dehydrated, starved, afraid, and thinking this is how you die when all of a sudden a goddamn robot comes in following a duck and a fox.

your saved. The rozzum takes you to a shelter it built, patches you up, feeds you and for the first time in weeks you sleep knowing you’re safe. You are going home. It will send out a retrieval signal and you’ll both be picked up and—but wait. It says not yet. It still has to complete its first task. It has to teach a duck how to fly…oh, scratch that, it has to teach its son to fly…

and no matter how much you try it won’t disregard its first task. It says no! To you! A rozzum says no to a human!! Its priority is the the damn duck…the duck is more important than you. More important than you getting off the island. More important than you going home, to your family and friends—who think you’re dead now because of the storm that wrecked your ship and killed everyone else!! That left you alone and scared for weeks in the ocean and wilderness!!

…you just wanna go home. That duck, brightbill, better learn fast or else it won’t be the winter that gets him.

Fight so intense that the hero just attacks any hostile looking person that they don’t recognize

and they only stop when the person they just struck was a reflection of themselves and they just didn’t realize their mask/helmet was torn off

I want that. I want a hero to not recognize themselves in the mirror because of the never seen before hostility in their face

[stubz]

oh my god maskless Invincible singing Penelope's part of Would you fall in love with me again to William

I will fall in love with you over and over again I don't care how, where, or when No matter how long it's been, you're mine Don't tell me you're not the same person You're always my husband, and I've been waiting, waiting

Look at this and tell me it couldn't be them!

"Teacher! When is it your planet's hero day!" the little ones shouted

"And by hero you mean...?"

"The day you celebrate your important people!"

"Oh, well we have lots of heroes. Did you kids have one in mind?"

"The one who saves people!" smiled the youngest.

"Okay...and what else do they do?"

"He makes people laugh." point out the middles.

"So he saves people by making them laugh?"

"Yeah but he also fights bad guys." reply the eldest.

"Uhh...okay I need another hint."

"He uh...he's super strong!"

"He swings around!"

"He wears red!"

"...are you talking about Spider-Man??"

"YES!!" they scream.

"Oh...pfft....okay...kids I'm sorry but he's not real. He's a story character."

"..." "..." "..."

"But we can make a Spider-Man day?" they quickly said.

The younglings cheer and talk amongst themselves about what day would be the best day and what should they do for it. Obviously consulting the experts first which was Stevie, Oscar, Oscar K. and Theo who proudly stood to the side wearing their Spider-Man shirts, jackets, or sipping from their Spider-Man water bottles.

"...of course they were ones who told them about Spider-Man." the human sighs smiling.

SPOILERS FOR LAST EPISODE OF SEASON 3 INVINCIBLE

ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT IF CONQUEST HAD A FUCING FRIEND HE COULD'VE BEEN BETTER?!

if he had ONE friend he could’ve been better?!! If I was his friend could I have turned that insane massacre into a simple ass kicking?!

still woulda sucked for Mark but less damage no??

also I find it neat that it’s basically canon at this point that Viltrimutes don’t have adrenaline and that gives Mark an advantage thanks to Debbie
