I think alotta ppl forget that dennis canonically is the best at drawing of the gang nd just focus on charlie being the artist of the gang, nd idk maybe i just wanted to slip that into ur mind

Like i have this funny scenario in my head where charlie challenges dennis to a drawing competition nd dennis draws a near realistic portrait of charlie while charlie vaguely scribbles out dennis but the rest of the gang is just like 'omg charlie i didnt know u cud draw'

art is subjective

Brits vs Aussies: Who Speaks Proper English? (ft Oscar Piastri)

It's just very boring, though, isn't it? Goon leaves much more to the imagination. [...] I liked all the Australian ones and none of the British ones.

You ever randomly get sad by realizing that the people on No Man’s Land are probably missing a lot of the human experience and how most of it is connected to earth?

They’re never going to know what rainstorms are like, or the smell that lingers in the grass after it’s over.

They’ll never know what it’s like to hear cicadas or frogs croaking near a lake at night.

Earth has so many colors, so many animals, and so much flora. Even though they have the geodomes, they’re merely a fraction of what the planet had to offer.

But they’ll never know.

At some point, in the latter half of Bucky's multi-modal trauma therapy in Wakanda, Dr. Sisulu had walked him through some of the benchmarks of recovery. She'd done the spiel that Bucky was familiar with the recite by heart by now, reminding him that healing wasn't linear, nor did it look the same for any two people, and that benchmarks could only ever be a reference point because not everybody valued the same things.

There had been one on the chart that hadn't quite made sense, something about 'low-stakes, variable investment' in 'arbitrary, non-essential social activities.' When he'd asked about it, Dr. Sisulu had laughed and said, "It means that one day, you might care about really stupid things for no reason other than the fact that it just feels good."

Bucky had tried to offer a smile in response and nodded like he understood, but even a year out of pure survival mode, none of that had seemed particularly possible for him.

Half a decade later, as Bucky and Sarah and the boys filed onto a set of bleachers toting snacks and posters and an absurdly large foam finger, her words came rushing back to him.

A friendly game between the families of AJ's baseball team--the Bullfrogs--and those of their sworn rivals from the next parish--the Lightning Bugs--was the definition of a non-essential thing to care about. Still, Bucky had cleared his schedule, flown down to Louisiana, and taken himself off the roster of on-call Avengers for the week, all so he could be there to see it. He'd even helped AJ and Cass with the posters, drawing some appropriately cartoon-y bullfrogs, then wielding the boxcutter to cut out the cardboard wings that Cass had wanted to attach to the foam finger.

It had seemed so far away and impossible the first time he'd considered it, and now here he was. There was a faint sting in his nose that Bucky recognized, and he moved quickly to distract himself before his eyes could well up, pointing to the dugout and asking AJ about who was playing for the Bullfrogs.

AJ's explanations were detailed the way they always were, anecdotes peppered in about nearly everyone on the team, complete with corrections and commentary from Cass. It kept Bucky busy until the Bullfrogs emerged from the dugout, set to field first, and the Delacroix half of the bleachers burst into cheers, AJ's teammates the loudest of all.

Bucky was sure he wasn't imagining the Lightning Bugs' side joining in as the pitcher appeared on the field, either, mitt in hand and a grin on his face as he jogged over to the mound. Immediately, AJ and Cass were on their feet, holding up one of their posters along with the winged foam finger.

Their hooting and hollering was enough to draw Sam's eye, and he threw his head back laughing as he saw their poster, complete with a shield-wielding bullfrog. His eyes moved to Bucky next, shaking his head in exasperation even as he grinned.

Bucky could have just smiled back, or waved, or busted out the second foam finger that had wings and a 3D shield, just to further bedevil Sam, but he didn't do any of those things. Instead, he sarcastically blew Sam a kiss, and then watched with wide eyes as Sam pretended to catch it and tuck it away in his pocket with a wink.

"It just feels good," Dr. Sisulu had said, and as Bucky's face grew warm and his heart raced a little faster, he had to admit that she was right. It did.

Listen, I love everything about Ishan and Shubman's relationship off-field, they're just so cute! But I don't think we realize just how well they complement each other (as openers) in the field as well.

Shubman is a 6 ft 1, right-handed batsman who takes his time to settle on the pitch before smashing the big boundaries. He either plays really long innings (8 fucking centuries at 24!) or gets out before even reaching double digits. He's generally calm and composed on the field.

Whereas there's a reason they call Ishan the "pocket dynamite". He's a 5 ft 5, left-handed wicket-keeper batsman who hit the first ball of his debut T20I and ODI for a four and a six respectively. He's also the only player in the world to convert his maiden century into a fucking double ton, in just 126 balls no less! He's someone who usually plays short, explosive innings and needs an anchor on the other end to convert them into bigger scores.

So you see where I'm getting at???

still time to delete your post. you were uninformed, that’s fine, but now you know that there is a pattern of racist behavior on dan’s end and we are right to be upset. him outright saying that he won’t tour in ‘third world countries’ like mx and brasil during a WAD show is racist. calling my home a third world country is racist. this is not in the past, you can say logistics all you want but dan outright said that he will not tour in our ‘third world countries’. it is not logistics. it is racism.

if i'm remembering correctly, dan did not "outright" say he just wouldn't tour in mexico & brasil. he made a tasteless, dismissive joke, sure, with the fans as the butt of the joke in the same way fans were the butt of the joke in many wad segments; it was insensitive and dismissive because the fans he was poking fun at weren't actually there and, obviously, have real frustrations with his behavior. but the meaning and implication of the joke was never that he actively avoided those places and would never go there--hell, they have been to brasil, to show a recorded version of ii and do a q&a. they had a mexico date for ii but it fell through, right? claiming he "outright [said] that he won't tour in 'third world countries'" is a mischaracterization as much as it would be to say "he outright said he hates phil" because he's said it in competitive gaming videos before. the key difference is he has failed to build a rapport with latam fans so it was insensitive and hurtful.

also, it is very much influenced by logistics. as much as it sucks, we absolutely cannot dismiss that. i was too sarcastic and dismissive in my additions to the post, and i've deleted those, but i stand by the original paragraph. regardless their (but especially dan's) racist comments, booking venues in countries where

1) english is not the predominant language,

2) they are not widely known,

3) once the venue learns about them they figure out they may be well past their peak in popularity and,

4) in some cases, it is relevant that they're gay and much more open about it than ii,

DOES actually make it significantly more difficult to convince a venue that it will be profitable for the venue to put on your show. most of the time, that is all venues are worried about. will people actually show up, or will these two faggots who peaked ten years ago draw in an audience of like, 20 people, and the venue will lose money when they could have booked a more profitable show? if the venue manager had to google them, are they really that popular anyways? the venue managers don't care unless they are certain they will not only break even but profit from dnp more than they would profit from literally anyone else they could book that night. why do you think they were able to do locations in asia for ii, but don't have them now (yet)? in 2018, they could reasonably argue their profitability, and even that wasn't enough in manila.

i am hoping, genuinely and from the bottom of my soul, that they will use the speed at which most of their shows sold out when the tickets went up to prove to venue managers in places other than the US and europe and commonwealth oceania that it is worth it. i hope they try very hard, and that they're able to add more dates. it certainly seems like they want to. i think it's also likely--whether it's right of them or not--that their experiences in MX & manila have led them to believe it's better to stay entirely quiet before they're absolutely sure they can announce a date and it will work, which makes it look like they're not communicating at all, but they may see it as them saving people from getting their hopes up if it doesn't work out. idk which is better, honestly. it at least seems to me like they're telegraphing that they're trying to book in other regions
