I told yall I'd draw the oranges

So erm, surprise. Gift art!! I read their ask blog like, 4 days ago and was like, I have to draw them.

Then I saw their ship art, and I was like, I'm going to draw them.

So I did. The oranges are in love, yay for them. When the ask blog said they were partners I was like, as in close friends/partners in crime. (I was a little slow)

Then I saw the art and was like, They dating? Good for them!

Widget belongs to @feralferretxp

Penny belongs too @troutagon

Their ask blog is @thecitrusaskblog (ask em a question

My reaction to these two:

Writing Reference: Nonsense Words

It is by no means clear how we should spell most of these words – and accordingly they tend to be omitted from dictionaries, whose focus is generally on the written language. They are nonetheless an important element in the English lexicon, providing speakers with a signal that they are unable to retrieve a lexeme – either because it has slipped their mind, or perhaps because there is a lexical gap in the language. Such nonsense words occur in many variant forms and pronunciations.

deeleebob; deeleebobber; diddleebob; diddleydo; diddleything; diddleythingy; dingus; dingdong; dingy; dooda; doodad; doohickey; gadget; geega; gewgaw; gimmick; gizmo; goodie; hootenanny; lookit; oojamaflop; thingamabob; thingamabobbit; thingamajig; thingummy; thingummybob; thingy; thingybob; whatchacallem; whatchacallit; whatchamacallit; whatever; whatsisname; whatsit; whatsits; whatnot; whosis; whosit; whosits; widget

‘Professor’ Stanley Unwin (1911–2002), British stage and film comic personality, renowned in the 1960s for the fluent neologistic style of his academic opinions: The humour cannot be totally captured by writing the words down. The comic effect depends not just on his bizarre lexical creations but on the way these are uttered deadpan using a perfectly routine conversational style.

Not all coinages have to mean something before they can achieve currency – as this example from the Walt Disney film Mary Poppins illustrates. Sung by Julie Andrews in the title role, it is probably the most famous nonsense word of the century: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

However, it is by no means the longest nonsense word to appear in a book or script. That accolade probably belongs to James Joyce, one of whose 100-letter blends. It is one of ten linguistic thunderclaps in Finnegans Wake, symbolizing the great fall of Tim Finnegan from his ladder: Bothallchoractorschumminaroundgansumuminarumdrumstrumtruminahumptadumpwaultopoofoolooderamaunsturnup!

I swear, it's impossible to find a good Doohickey these days. I know they still make them.

It hasn't been the same since Thing-a-ma-jig bought out Thing-a-ma-bob and rebranded to Thingy. Upset the whole market, that did.

It's nothing but big three now: Thingys, Whats-its, and Widgets. Whats-its are still basically the same Whatchamacallit formula is always been at least. Widgets of course are for b2b applications and too corporate for everyday use. None of them quite fill the Doohickey gap though.

And don't even get me started on finding a working Hootus...

[yourfavouritetragedy]

I started in the tags but it got too long. All I have to say is OP please don’t block me. 

“Will. Hey Wil what’s that.”

*mildly pretentious/nasally voice* “Well you see Tommy, it’s a sort of thingamajig. a kind of whatchamacallit. a gizmo. a widget, even.” *Tommy nods* “I’m trying to turn it into a weapon. For hurting people.”

“Coolcool Wil do you think [girl] likes me.” ([girl] stops mattering in the second half of the movie and only appears onscreen twice)

*keeps fiddling with thing that is possibly a bomb* “I don’t know, I’m no expert but I think that sitting next to me, chewing on your glasses isn’t doing you any favors.” (W is ace-coded by which I mean he just doesn’t show interest in anybody throughout the movie)

“What do you mean, sitting next to you? You’re so cool, Wil -- you’re the smartest guy I know. Everybody should want to be your brother.”

“Seriously? Look at me Tommy. I’m weirdo. I’m a weirdo. I don’t fit in. I don’t want to fit in. you ever seen me without

*they go on to discuss their absent alcholic father or whatever idk*

“Goddamnit, it’s so unfair that some people drive nice cars and eat nice food and have nice fathers and we’re stuck here in Losertown high school feeling lousy all the time.” (T)

“If you could be anywhere, where would you go?” (W)

“I dunno, Paris or something, probably. It’s just familiar enough but also exotic. Would steal a lot of good sht, and put the stupid French you made me take to good use.”

“I didn’t make you take French! I just said it’s a cooler language than Spanish and that as native English speakers, we ought to honor the original ‘lingua franca’--”

“Yeah, whatever. Your reasons were weirdheck then and they still are now. Where would you go?”

“Oh, Antarctica, of course. First of all, it’s got penguins, the objectively coolest animal. There’d be tons of interesting people down there, unlike the losers in our Losertown -- except for you of course, Tommy-- and then of course by going to Antarctic I must be a qualified individual......”

(probably a different scene) “God, Wil, Losertown is so boring. I don’t want to stay here my whole life.”

“Don’t worry Tommy, I have a plan to get us out of Losertown. It’s going to take all the free time you have, 50 dollars” -- this genre of movie is fairly American, I think, so American money--  “and seventy-eight cents, and a whole lot of heart. Do you have in it ya? You’re gonna have to prove yourself.”

(eagerly) “Ya, ya, I got all that, Wil. Well, maybe only 40 dollars, but I can get more.” (unclear if he works (is competent enough) or steals (is delinquent enough))

The movie goes through each of the plan’s 16 steps (”Well, I had 17 steps but 16 is a perfect square, you know, so I combined numbers 3, 7, and 5 and broke up number 8 and switched 11 and 13″) + each step has an average of 4 sub-steps. It’s written down extremely messily in a notebook that’s supposed to be for one of his classes. (He is a senior. He kinda has failed salesman vibes in the photo but I think it works better with Neapolitan Dynamite highschool languish vibes.)

There’s probably a scene after they Truly Bond where Wil takes him to the library and shows him the cool black and white French moves he watches in his free time. deffo show a clip of The 400 Blows.

Tommy sometimes kicks a soccer (football) ball around by himself in their driveway (or shoots hoops) because he has no friends to play with. Wil has asthma and complains about the downfall of like, the very early Internet or NASA or good dress sense or whatever. He’s got a funky shed/garage and they fk things up together. (there needs to be at least two onscreen explosions. 9/11 also needs to be mentioned at least once.)

W has “Are you listening Mr. Bike? What’s the answer?” *answers perfectly* vibes (midding student overall though) but T’s grades aren’t that good. He works on them for Wil’s plan though and there’s a wholesome scene where he comes home with a good report card. He’s a pretty smart kid though, just not an ace at school. (both possible ND swag lol idk)

Example deep conversation OP mentioned: “Do you ever think about how, in the timeline of your life, you’re only ever experiencing one point, one moment? You’re just sort of randomly situated in the timeline.” “What, you mean like, just you or just us or the whole world’s timeline?” “Ah, I think you’re right, actually, why is it that the world has a present moment? ..What if it’s not the same one? What if this conversation is in your past? How could we ever know?” “But I’m talking to you in my present. I know ‘cause-- well, I guess because I can feel this with my senses as it happens and all. How real do you think the past is?” “Oh, not at all. You only ever have the singular moment that you’re experiencing.” “I don’t think that’s quite true-- see, if it’s all in your head, than every memory is as real in the state it’s in as the current moment.”

If it’s a sad movie, one of them has to get rushed to the hospital at some point. If it’s a really sad movie, Tommy gets hurt in one of their experiments, but if it’s not that sad one of them has an allergic reaction or something (allergies aren’t usually taken that seriously but it’s my fake 2000s movie lol).

Anyways there’s some like town festival/celebration (school thing?) built up to at the end of the movie and either they sabotage it or they sneak off and light up fireworks themselves in the night.

zannolin has reminded me that we don't talk about those photos Tommy and Wilbur took during the bike riding vlog enough.

Playing the Part in the RPG Part of the Game

Playing the Part in the RPG Part of the Game

Star Trek Online is a MMORPG, that stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. But you knew that already. All too often we get caught up in the grind, literally “the grind” of trying to amass another 10,000 whatchamacallits so we can craft that killer widget that will make our star ship kick ass, right? But somewhere among all the mission grinding, mining, and gathering of…
