forever disappointed in Rick for, when presented with the decision of "what band t-shirt do i give Nico to signify his character and style," having Nico wear a Ramones shirt when the opportunity for Nico in a Welcome To The Black Parade shirt was RIGHT THERE. PEAK EMO AND IT HAS A SKELETON ON IT-

im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.

can you imagine if they left the epilogue as it was without adding hs2. like if they leaned more into the “fanfic parody” aspect of it.

imagine if you read the homestuck epilogues and instead of being forced to contend with fascist jane for the next five years, the epilogues just ended with dirk saying “Oh and this was all a dream. Btw.”

like i think that would have been insanely funny. there would have been so so many memes about the officially licensed homestuck parody where rose and jade cheat on their marriages and dirk makes davekat kiss. i think everyone would have found that to be such a riot

it would have been way more fun to analyze too because instead of being forced to take 40yrold divorced dave seriously everyone could be like “what does it mean when on page 42 dirk described him as a white lanky bitch… what level of irony is this… what does it symbolize”

instead it feels like we got told a joke that we weren’t exactly in on, felt hurt about it, and now we’ve all been sitting around for half a decade waiting for a punchline that might never come

LESBIAN JANIS MEAN GIRLS REAL!!!!!!!!!!

my wol protag, west cassidy + thoughts on how to port him into the sol continuity… he's always been a nex-mex bitch but i'm drawn to the idea of it turning him functionally semi-immortal so he has to keep moving around to places where people don't recognize him. + lyric comic because i associate him most strongly with snake song by isobel campbell/snakes in general

That look in his eyes made me sure

I've been looking for this one au where Len basically becomes a mad scientist and turns his friends into robots one by one for a while now, and I'm beginning to realize that I just read through your blog while half asleep a few months back and mixed together my memories of your flower hivemind and composite au

this is very funny to me. i'm absolutely honored this blog's posts were enough to evil-farming-game an entire vocaloid au into your memories 😂

i can give you this doodle; it's composite au but i'm sure it'd fit very well with this theoretical mad scientist len au lololl

Rolling With Difficulty as texts I have saved on my computer for some reason

(i drew every day for like a month straight and burnt out so have this nonsense instead)

[st4rstudent]

I've had this idea for a while but everytime I actually gave it thought, I'd get frightened last minute. But anyways, with summer coming up (and more free time), I've been considering making an ask blog of sorts just for fun. Does that seem like anything anyone would be interested in

naturally itd be more hc based because well. heh. looks around. gets scared

(To Davy and Buck) Hey y'all ever think of hiring any henchmen? Obviously there's a cost issue there, but getaway securing, junk sorting, babysitting... you can get a lot of use out of a good union hench.

it is SO hard out there for a henchperson these days

[Image 1 ID: Panel one of a comic featuring Puzz's OCs. Buck (a middle-aged white man with a barrel-chested build, balding with a bushy mustache, wearing a turtleneck and slacks) is gesturing with one hand with the other on his hip, saying grouchily, "You think I got hench money? Hell, you think I got hench space?? This is a one-bedroom hideout and I've already got this kid takin' up my whole couch!!" In the background, Minnie (a 13-year-old white girl with a stocky build and large braided pigtails, wearing a school uniform-type blouse and pleated skirt, plus fingerless gloves and a sweater tied around her neck) is sitting on the couch holding a video game controller with one hand, glaring and flipping Buck off.

Davey (a middle-aged black man with a lanky build, amputated right arm, diagonal scar across his face, thin mustache, large ears, thick eyebrows and curly hair in a ponytail, wearing a baggy tank top and loose shorts) is standing to Buck's right, grimacing and gesturing with his left hand. He says, "I never really enjoyed working with henchmen, to be honest. Granted, I don't think the ones I worked with were union, which was probably at least part of the problem..." Buck, turning to look at Davey with confusion, says, "Wait. You had henchmen?" Davey responds, "I worked with henchmen." End ID.]

Buck, gesturing with both hands and looking confused and frustrated, says, "When did you-", only for Davey to interrupt by turning to Minnie with a grin and calling, "You get Street Fighter working yet, Min?" Buck shouts, "DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT", while Minnie, gesticulating angrily in front of her, also shouts, "THEY TRAPPED ME ON THE STUPID EULA!!". End ID.]

im back after ditching the internet to avoid atsv spoilers after finally seeing the movie and guys 😭why was that an out of body experience for me, like I feel changed as a person, enlightened you could say, it could’ve been as a result of the spectacular animation and score and storyline and devastating cliffhanger, or it might’ve just been Hobie brown

A clarification on Athenian Laws concerning male homosexuality.

(because this particular small thing is often misunderstood, due to inability to accurately translate specific ancient greek terms into english, or lack of comprehension of context.)

In classical athens, there was a very specific set of laws, concerning ONLY male athenian citizens (so slaves, women and metics were not subject to it). These laws said that a male athenian citizen who engages in intercourse with another man IN EXCHANGE FOR PAYMENT, was not allowed to do certain things, such as hold positions of power or speak in the assembly. There were also potential penalties (not described in detail) for the person hiring an athenian citizen for this purpose. Again, this is often misunderstood, so I have to repeat, this was only when it was done in exchange for some sort of payment/recompense. The word used for these men is of the same root as εταιρα, which was the female counterpart. It is often mistranslated, there's a whole thing I could go on explaining about the different types of prostitution terms, but basically there was a distinction between prostitute and courtesan/escort/whatever you'd call them in english. Also, this law did not forbid this, and it was not a prosecutable offense by itself. The offense was if one such man disobeyed the limitations set by the law, and it's unclear to me what the deal was with the person who paid.

SO yeh. Next time someone says there were laws against homosexuality in classical athens, here's a helpful article of a guy explaining this much better than me, and goes into more detail about all the weird intricacies of the legal system, as well as the laws set in place to protect boys from grown men:

and here's our original source about these laws:
