The Twelve Tasks of Asterix Creators: René Goscinny & Albert Uderzo Studio: Studios Idefix | France, 1976

[probablybadrpgideas]

Take a page out of Asterix and send your players on a quest to acquire Permit Form A38 from town hall.

consider for a minute. chip revvington jekyll & hyde au

obviously Chip as Jekyll, and the Override as Hyde. would involve some changes to Chip's character to work, but this au would turn the Override into something Chip had unintentionally inflicted himself with in an effort to be able to shed the rigid, permit A38-style beaurocratics of C.O.G.S, Inc.

it starts off fine, he jumps between all the formalities and what freedoms the Override affords him with no qualms- til the Override does something awful. and then suddenly it hits Chip as he tries to forgo the thing that... he can't. he's gone too far. it's part of him at that point, similarly to how it goes in the Jekyll & Hyde book.

trying to navigate german bureaucracy always makes me feel permit a38 in this chili's tonight

[official-german-gaming]

Only if you got the permit A38.

The "Americanization of the global internet" post and slow deterioration of local native culture gave me an idea: many users don't even know there is native language communities on this website, so if you know of a regional group/"subculture" on Tumblr, reblog/comment with the tags they use so people can find them and connect with other folks from their countries or speakers of a language they'd like to learn

I will try to update this post with every new addition to hopefully make a comprehensive list of Tumblr regional communities

I am fairly convinced that the Noldor have the most time consuming, most confusing bureaucracy bullshit imaginable going on. I mean permit A38 kind of level.

It's almost impossible to have anything get passed if you don't know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who is related to the royal family AND who is on good terms with either Turgon or Caranthir, who invented this bullshit out of spite towards eachother.

Or just like try to get in on a day where Finwë is there in person and gives green light to basically everything because he's just that tired™

But like good luck because there will be a mile long queue in front of the palace. Legend has it that people camp in the royal frontyard for the entire week just to get in line first.

I don’t wear my glasses because they’re fashionable or go well with my outfit. I wear my glasses because I need them to fucking see.

I was already irritated with the fact that the insurance only covers the glasses and not the frame, like what the fuck are people supposed to do, hold the two glasses up with their hands? The frame is part of the glasses. Even if you just cover a rate for a basic frame set. Frames are a must have when you need glasses.

And the part where getting a Permit A38 would actually be less of a hassle, because I have to first go to the optician to have my eyes measured, then go to the eye doctor who checks these measures and decides if I need glasses to give me a recipe, then go back to the optician with that prescription to get glasses. I do very much remember how when I first got glasses, the eye doctor measured them to write me a prescription. I did not have to go back and forth. But no, eye doctors no longer measure how well your eye-sight is. What, exactly, do they even do then.

But no, on top of all that nonsense, now I learned that actually fuck that they’re not even paying the glasses.

16 Euro. Per glass. Sixteen. Out of around 130€. That’s like a tenth. I will be sitting on over 200€. What the fuck.

Health insurance is a fucking scam, you gotta wish to be hit by a fucking car just so it will be worth it. Because hey, they will cover hospital bill.

Great. Just great. I never had hospital bills before. But I have eyes that are fucked and need a special aid so I can perform the very basic task of seeing shit.

Basic aids you need to get around should absolutely 100% be covered by insurance if the country demands health insurance of me.

If you force me to pay 200€ a month for health insurance, I ought to demand that said health insurance actually covers the things regarding my health that I need.

What group of entitled able-bodied assholes decided this.

[phantasmagoetia]

Or we could do like Asmodeus does, and go for Permit A38, find some doomed souls that know how to do this stuff and pay them by releasing them into purgatory.

how the fuck is it possible to take so much paperwork to just get started on fixing ONE pipe in hell? I know bureaucracy's an infernal thing but for Satan's sake-

(Context:wanted to get started on filing the paperwork to fix the fucking pipes but this shit will take ages)

Seven Comfort Movies

@thedragonsarealive​ tagged me for this, thank you so much 💕💕 (also tags genuinely don’t show up in my notifications anymore for some reason D:) You had some absolute quality in your post (find it here!) already!

I’m not sure who hasn’t done it/even wants to do it but I’ll just tag a few people: @nutbrain​, @cerosin​, @kapcant​, @ask-team-rainbow​ (if you want?), @glazkov-smile​, @rosallora​ ♥

1) The Twelve Tasks of Asterix

This is, by far, the most comforting film for me. As a child, my brother and I would regularly re-watch all Asterix films (that our mum had taped, so we were fast-forwarding through 90s commercials and all), and this one is still my favourite. I can quote this film backwards. Thinking about it puts me in a better mood. Passierschein A38 (permit a38) has been a running gag in my friend group forever. Nostalgia goggles are probably at play here, but I’m laughing nonstop throughout the whole thing even now :)

2) Shaun of the Dead

All Pegg/Frost films sit close to my heart and Hot Fuzz is a close second to this one. I’m neither in the habit of watching many films nor in the habit of re-watching the few I’ve seen, but I’ve seen this one at least five times - the combination of (absurd) comedy, tragedy, and romance just gets me.

3) Love, Actually

Every other Christmas, my mum and I sit down and watch this film. The cast is absolutely superb (Firth, Thompson, Freeman, Knightley, Nighy, Makatsch, Grant, Rickman.....) and the different stories told all have their own identity and resolutions. It also should surprise no one that Bill Nighy’s character is my favourite in this.

4) Animalympics

Holy carp, what an incredibly trippy film. I was obsessed with this film as a kid and garnered nothing but question marks when I re-watched it a few years ago with my now-husband. It’s vivid and colourful, fragmented and chock-full of absurd humour and (I assume) allusions 100% lost on me. I bet my parents regretted buying this video cassette because I wouldn’t stop watching it.

5) Airplane!

Most everything I’ve seen from Leslie Nielsen cracks me up. This film in particular is quotable beginning to end and I keep expecting people to call me out on calling them Shirley whenever I use the word “surely”.

6) Grand Budapest Hotel

My gosh, what a beautiful, beautiful film. Wes Anderson needs to be on this list and though Moonrise Kingdom deserves a mention, GBH is what made me fall in love with his style of directing. As usual, a top-notch cast, gorgeous imagery and a heart-warming story not without its ups and downs.

7) Birdman

I grew up going to the theatre regularly, so I feel right at home with this film’s scenery and setting. The illusion of it being one long tracking shot is phenomenal, and so is the performance all around. Gripping and raw, I loved this film immediately.

[himbo-buckley]

hi im the emt anon from earlier and yeah the pregnancy scene is something he would’ve been trained for! All the medical stuff is pretty accurate as far as I remember except for sometimes they don’t really represent the protocol too well but that wouldn’t be as glam or quick to show fleshed out so I totally get it lol but I’d loooooove to see buck handling more medical calls (especially delivering more babies??) in the next season bc thats hot 😌

First of all, hi, welcome back and thank you! <3

oh, that is actually quite cool to hear? Like some of the stuff would probably never happen in real life (okay, well, I mean, maybe it would) but it’s nice to hear that a lot is realistic

Also, I do have to say, I am german and a trained social worker and I worked for the government for a short while so maybe I do have a little hard on for protocol and dream of telling someone to get permit A38 

AND LISTEN, Buck and babies is a dream and we should say it and THAT IS WHAT TWITTER SHOULD ANNOY TIM MINEAR ABOUT OKAY YA’LL????

I’m a simple woman, I see a man tall enough to make me feel tiny with shoulders so broad he can surround me twice being good with children and I melt, okay? I turn into a puddle and I cry and it gets ugly but what I’m saying is Oliver Stark / Evan Buckley holding children is what I deserve and what I want for Season 4 so let’s manifest together, okay, friend?

Anyways, thanks for coming back, hope you have / had a great day and read you soon? :D

top 5: videogames you've played :)

Oh, that’s a good one^^

1. Final Fantasy X - The first RPG I ever played and I loved it immediately. What I personally enjoy much more than I would have thought is that since the fights are turn based you can really think about how you proceed. Also parentage reveal. I remember seeing that scene for the first time and thinking “I f*cking knew it!!!” and I love it.

2. Tales of Symphonia - I played this through three times so far. Twice with a friend (who introduced me to it. We once met up one week every day during a school break and played it through. That was the second time) and once on my own and it’s also so good. Again a great parentage reveal that made me go “hah! Knew it”, really cool mythology, fun characters, and again an interesting use of how religion can be manipulated and used to form a world in the way you want. Same thing in FFX btw so I’m guessing parts of it is very Japanese since both games are JRPGs.

3. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt + DLCs - Magnificent! Absolutely gorgeous game, fantastic story, fun to play, amazing characters that are good interpretations of the book characters (I’m still amazed at how well they nailed Regis), some really fun sidequests (the Permit A38 quest! that one confuses the USians the most and it amuses me a lot). Just.. such a good game!

The next one I haven’t finished yet because.. reasons.. lol:

4. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice - listen.. I haven’t finished it yet myself but I have seen a complete walkthrough. For me that’s not an issue. It can help because I was a bit afraid that this game could be bad for my anxiety. It’s actually working really well with it for me which is fantastic. 

5. Pokemon Gold Edition - somehow my edition disappeared.. my Typhlosion (apparently that’s its English name) was at level 99. I worked so hard for that and then my copy disappeard. I am still mad about that.

The order is random lol I must say that I own a lot of games but have only finished very few or know how they end. Some people would love to judge you for not being a gamer if that’s the case but those are idiots. There are a lot of people who play videogames and never really finish any while still regularly gaming. Anyway.

Thank you<3

Put “Top 5″ anything in my ask^^

Ah, The Place That Sends You Mad...

It was probably meant to mock the French bureaucracy, but, honestly, it’s a universal experience. Polish people relate to it so much that in The Witcher 3 there is a quest to get Permit A38.

[ascherbaum]

Room 5 is now on the 4th floor. The French are crazy! And where do you find Permit #A38? #Asterix le laissez-passer A-38 (at France) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz-Vee6C4wi/?igshid=bsyropupodgr
