#20 years of lies

Twenty Years of Habitual Lying

Everytime they "reinvent" themselves, we the public are expected to just tolerate The Meghans penchant for lying. The truth is that Meghan and Harry lie about EVERYTHING.

Poll Question: Based on online document searches for archived copies of Evanston's Northwestern University Commencement Programs, what YEAR (over 100 years) generates the MOST online interest?

Terminal Condition

Diagnosis

Truthers whose websites were shuttered in 2017

Royal Reporters who still can't be bothered to fact check sussex content

Political Science Department at Northwestern University

Colombia, Nigeria, Jamaica, South Africa, Australia, Ireland, Great Britain...

Everyone with a working brain recognizes this as deception: "since I grew up in the states, I didn't grow up with the same understanding of the royal family, while I NOW understand there is a global interest, I didn't really know much about him." Anyone who legitimately studied International Relations would feel embarrassed at the thought of pretending not to know about a global interest in monarchies. Not to mention all the BRF related activities she participated in throughout adolescence and in her career as a working actress in a Commonwealth Country.

#1 Question for all of MegaLiar's so-called friends: What is your excuse?

do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.

His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.

His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.

Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.

Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.

Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.

But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.

But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.

He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.

And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.

And the truth is worse than all of the lies.

How horrifying.

look I am halfway through a draft thinking about the shittiest nurse/worst buddy cop duo au, and have had the hilarious and also terrible realisation that like.

Li xiangyi is fifteen when he defeats the blood demon and becomes the top ranked guy in the jianghu, right? he's fifteen. a teenager.

he holds that rank until his death, I'm assuming, given we don't get told otherwise and a lot of the rank fights we hear about end in uhhhh someone's death, though given di feisheng is the guy we hear the most about having those fights possibly that is just a him thing and everyone else has less than a 99.5% combat fatality rate.

whatever! we're proceeding on the assumption that Li xiangyi is top dog from the point he gets the rank until he "dies" in the east sea.

which means that for five years, the top ranked martial artist is a fucking teenager. presumably a number of people try to challenge him*, which means that a number of people rock up to a literal teenager and are like YOU, ME, FIGHT!?

and then get their ass kicked. by a teenager who has not finished having growth spurts, and whose voice is still 9000% cracking.

imagine facing the best martial artist in the world, who is all teenaged gangling limbs, proceeds to kick your ass, and then (assuming you're not uh. dead from terminal sword-itis) gives you some self impressed incredibly annoying teenager lecture on what the fuck ever. his voice cracks four times in ten minutes. you do not laugh, because he did just kick your ass, but also, maybe it would have been better to die.

*other than di feisheng? what are you doing for those five years there bud, like yes setting up the alliance but also? bestie you explicitly do not care about that, we've all been in jobs/community projects we hate but c'mon, babygirl, surely you could make time for a play date somewhere in the literal five years you had to organise it?? maybe he got to rank 2 way after Li xiangyi made rank 1, but still?? we are talking at minimum about 3 years at rank 2 probably, and I too have failed to organise a meet up for years on end but still. get it together mate, wuyan seems great at organisation in the approximately seven seconds of screen time he has, maybe let him handle your calendar appointments

what if modern day Odyssey but its actually Odysseus getting somehow kidnapped on the way back home from the milkstore and then it takes him 20 years to return home with a block of..... very expired milk (that is by now something solid and probalby used as a weapon at some point or something)

The implications of this is funny but also extremely dark because WHAT EVEN HAPPEND INBETWEEN THE 20 YEARS?!! AND ALSO HOW AND WHY IS HE CAUGHT UP IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS?!?!

Oh yeah by the time he reunites with his familly , theres a bunch of random dudes looking for some Hot-Single-Mothers-In-Your-Area , because Telemauchos' bullies put his mom on some shady site and now she gets bothered by random dudes every day at her door...

Man i really thought that Bakarath's champion was going to be Fabian's little nemesis/sibling; i wanted that so bad

[eshtaresht]

the funniest thing about ppl discussing the height difference between og and stampede vash is that it technically doesn't exist

like, he is described as 5'11" in both versions, which is reasonably tall, not even 6ft. but in the 90's he looked freaky tall with his long ass legs and stick-like silhouette. also, due to both manga and anime being hand drawn, his height was pretty inconsistent (sometimes normal, sometimes two heads above everyone else)

but in 3d things like height are consistent with other elements. we didn't get a shrinked down version, y'all. we just got the first accurate depiction of his height
