#and sure there was some humour

people tend to take the curious fact that a lot of the exiles had known morgoth personally in a somewhat humorous way, but that severely undersells the horror of it, and not only in the huge abuse of trust it entailed, imo.
I can't help but imagine how much nervous brain-racking must have followed the revelation of his non-repentance, how many people combing through their every thought and conviction, trying to find any planted by the enemy. and you're not safe even if you didn't have anything to do with him because others had.
just, the knowledge that someone attempted to model you according to his own aims and being unable to tell how far he was successful.
#noldo soldier to a sinda: 'i sold the dark lord a lemon cupcake once' yeah sure funny but... this is very dark humour#idk how many people *would* have worried that much because after all those ideas persisted till the darkening and later on#but some people *must* have been terrified. because this *is* terrifying#my post#noldor#morgoth#silmarillion#silm

i really forgot how much pushback tony got for saying that he didn't want to make weapons anymore. like not just "tony that's a bad call financially for the company" but like. ridiculing the idea, telling him he's not thinking straight. he's got three people in his life and two of them are saying this and the other one is his PA
#this plus the arc reactor for the hippies thing and. a lot of stuff he says actually#makes me wonder how many times tony tried to branch out and was gently steered back to The Main Company Purpose by obadiah#like okay sure tony you can design some intellicrops. it's profitable. humouring him#weapons are important tony. what we do keeps the world from falling into chaos. this is what we DO he has a whole fucking speech planned#kayvsim12024

Can I ask what was your first impression of TGCF and if it turned out wrong or right?
My first impression of TGCF was "this goof continuously ascends to -- and gets kicked out of -- heaven, this is going to be clown town isn't it?"
And honestly I stand by that one, I think I was completely correct**
(**barring the fact that this goof will then go on to experience ever conceivable horror known to man but honestly I mostly expected it after MDZS)
#tgcf#heaven official's blessing#xie lian#hua cheng#hualian#honestly i was pretty spot on with my tonal assumptions for TGCF which is why i didn't include it in the previous post#after getting my shit rocked by MDZS i was feeling a bit more accustomed to mxtx's tendency to mix humour and tragedy#so i expected things to Go Bad sooner or later#that being said i was WILDLY unprepared for book 6 the post-banishment arc nearly k i l l e d me#straight up took me 4 calendar months to read bk6 because i'd read about 3 pages and then need to crawl away and cry for a bit#it intrigues me how with both MDZS and TGCF the backstory stuff is AGONIZING#and there can be some reckoning with that in the present#but as a general rule the present day plot is were the comedy and whimsy and romance lives & the backstory is where PAIN AND SUFFERING live#i'm not sure why i was so startled by SVSSS's vibe since it's fairly similar to the other two#the stuff i saw on my dash led me to think it was mostly humour/fluff though and i was admittedly VERY biased against isekai#very very pleasantly surprised by SVSSS i'm enjoying it alot#i'm amused and humbled by the new followers i've recently collected#i assume it's mostly svsss's fans that know A Storm Is Coming and are sitting back with popcorn to watch me suffer in real time - if so#cheers#my art

can we talk about the fact that the icons, the memes, the tumblr sexymen who broke history, reigen arataka and sans undertale, are both some of the most exceptionally written and executed characters i have ever had the pleasure of stumbling across? please can we talk about that?
#“some of the most” is not exhaustive btw#that list of the “most” includes mob (ofc)‚ mizu from blue eye samurai and practically the entire cast of arcane#plus many more#but yeah just went down a rabbit hole of watching undertale video essays#and HOLY SHIT i had forgotten quite how INCREDIBLE this game is#toby fox the fucking genius that you are#and i could ramble about how incredible and well written and fascinating reigen is until i turn blow in the face#mob psycho you will always be famous#anyways if you're seeing this from undertale go watch mob psycho#all undertale fans should watch mob psycho#esp if you like undertale's humour#and vice versa actually#but im sure if you're on tumblr you've at least stumbled into undertale before#anyways#oh yeah also this is not a dig on them being tumblr sexymen#i think it's funny that the internet gravitates naturally towards such brilliant characters to meme over#and it gets more people into the source media which is a fucking win win in my books#reigen arataka#sans undertale#mob psycho 100#mp100#undertale#toby fox#tumblr sexyman#tumblr sexymen#sansgen#i guess#oh how i love it when two pathetic men kill the queen with the power of gay love#(nagito and serizawa are sobbing in a corner)#thoughts n rambles

It wasn't what I'd plan to make yet getting inspired to draw some puppy!Bojan inspired by this (x) post I can't help but be very proud of the composition and wanting it on a t-shirt or print so I found a picture of Jere modelling merch (as you do) so without further ado here's the boy wearing the puppy x'D
#I am not sure if this is a serious entry or not - i just hope it can bring you some smile on your face like i had drawing it#and that you appreciate my bad humour x'D#bojan cvjetićanin#joker out#dreamjomerch#still want to dream up something serious one day yet until then this is the level I am at x'D#mine#my own art

Why have I not seen anyone toy with the idea of Grantaire doing satire political cartoons?
I don't believe he would do it as a form of activism or propaganda. It just seems something he would humor himself with, pass the time at meetings, or doodle as a fun joke when bored. I mean, he does share the other's ideas, he just doesn't believe that they have any hope of bringing change. He definitely won't do them in hopes of them somehow helping The Cause (but maybe his friends would want to publish some, and Grantaire would decide to amuse them and allow it).
He seems like the kind of guy who would enjoy that sort of humor, and you can actually hide a lot of symbolism into these. I have included some examples from the French Revolution period (yes, I'm aware the book is about June Rebellion; it's just examples), and tell me it's not something you can imagine Grantaire doing simply for his amusement
"Le peuple sous l'ancien Regime"- 1815; "Louis rides a pig"- 1791; "The game must end soon"- 1789
#i'm also pretty sure there is something about him eating the still life in the book#but i can't find the passage right now so I can't be sure#in general that could point toward him not taking his studies overly seriously (most likely the case just by looking at his personality)#and i am not saying these caricatures are not “serious” art#but they are not some huge neoclassical or romantical paintings#so it would also be a way to mock the stuffy art critics/teachers as well#and in general they look like something a drunk depressed guy who hides behind humour would do#grantaire#les miserables#les amis de l'abc#les mis#ps sorry about the picture quality

Nothing lamer than a fictional character going to therapy and working through their issues in a healthy way. Bitch go kill someone
#.txt#I remember people used to get really mad when books didn't end with all the characters going to therapy lol#maybe they still do idk#and it was always with kids media 💀 'why didn't percy jackson end with everyone horribly traumatized and in need of extensive therapy'#not saying a kids book can't talk about trauma but. you're against it having an happy ending??? girl.#thank god asoiaf is in the fantasy middle ages so nobody can complain about that#medieval therapy is just like. ah you must rid yourself of these foul humours! not to worry my friend! a good leeching will surely help :)#with some asoiaf characters I would want them to get help if they were in the modern world but. depends on how funny their mental issues ar#I would never in a milion years want to fix whatever the fuck is wrong with joffrey. he's perfect just the way he is 🥰

Return of the Living Dead: Part II (1988)
"Is it serious?"
"Is dead serious?"
#return of the living dead: part ii#horror imagery#gore tw#1988#american cinema#horror film#ken wiederhorn#james karen#thom mathews#thor van lingen#suzanne snyder#michael kenworthy#jason hogan#marsha dietlein#jonathan terry#dana ashbrook#philip bruns#art bonilla#mitch pileggi#sally smythe#slightly disappointing sequel to a brilliantly inventive original. makes some curious choices in recasting Karen and Mathews from the#first movie as different characters that are still somehow kind of identical to the ones they played previously.#the bigger issue is that the first film managed to balance real horror with absurd dark humour perfectly but this one just can't get the#ratio right at all; far too much of this is goofy‚ silly humour without any real tension or commitment to actually being horror. i mean#it's gory and gloopy sure‚ but it's also weirdly toothless and sanitised: the main character is a kid and his sister‚ and tonally it feels#very different to part 1. there's none of the darkness nor the willingness to subvert expectations that made the og film such a brilliant#iconic bit of 80s horror media. something else the original had? a killer punk soundtrack‚ but yikes this one drops the ball there too#ending on a prettttty bad cover of the monster mash. there's some fun to be had here in a generic and brainless (har) kind of way but#this is a pale imitation of the film it's copying in places almost beat for beat

a lot of tags on that arthur/charles same bodytype post are asking who's calling arthur a twink and as far as I know no one is i'm just referencing the phenomenon of some people characterising Charles as a much larger man than Arthur I was being hyperbolic sorry
#idk if i need to make this post but a lot of time i exaggerate things for humour and people take it seriously#or that im making some sort of serious callout#i do think the charles/arthur size difference stuff is serious when it comes to perpetuating racial stereotypes#but im not calling for a twink arthur witch hunt im not sure there are many people who actually think arthur is tiny and hairless

Not that Thistle and Kiera straight up dislike public displays of affection, though. Kiera doesn't really care, and Thistle... well.
If Kiera acts openly affectionate towards Thistle in public, he will pretend to hate it – it's inappropriate, it's bad manners. But really, he desperately craves affection – any kind of affection, he's not picky. So he secretly loves it. But he's still flustered and will chastise Kiera for doing so, but he also wants her to get the hint that he doesn't actually wants her to stop... So that he can keep his formal, high and mighty persona, and make it seem that it's just his partner that is shameless and won't listen to him. Definitely has nothing to do with his own desires, no way.
#Kiera sucks at understanding social cues though#so he would be getting extremely frustrated if she actually decides to respect his space because that's technically what he asked for.#At some point T.histle might get frustrated enough that he would have to explain to her exactly what he actually wants in private#while blushing to the tips of his ears. Kiera would surely find it unbearably cute and would humour him later on.#(I can imagine T.histle's tired and defeated sigh when she calls him cute for it)#ship: hunt or be hunted#f/o: the mad mage#s/i: kiera

hiii--- i know you mostly post/write about other fandoms but i just want to say that graceful degradation is probably one of THE best fics ive read of all time and i love it so so so much, it had me screaming into my pillow at like 2 in the morning. its such a unique and creative take on his backstory and the ANGSSTTT. oh my god...u are a genius
Thank you so much!!! Portal 2 was something I never imagined myself writing for, but I'm very glad I did, because writing that fic was a blast. It came out of my fondness for 'Flowers For Algernon' (which I read many years ago but has been stuck in the back of my mind ever since) and my need for a Portal fic that suited my particular niche of interests (which included, of course, my dear old friend angst). I'm so glad to hear you think of it so highly! That really means a lot 🥰
#ask#wheatley#wheatly portal 2#portal 2#portal#my fanfic#my fanfiction#I'm pretty sure i know who sent this so thank you very much for reccing the story to others. that was delightful to see :D#and yeah unfortunately i am very much a throw a fic grenade into the fandom and then run off kind of writer#(with some exceptions)#i don't imagine I'll be writing any more portal fanfic in the future but i am very proud of the one that i did do :)#it was really fun writing in a more humourous style than usual (in what ironically is one of my most devastating fics)#(which i suppose is very fitting to the nature of the portal games themselves. a true comedy of horrors)#if you're looking for other great portal fics i have to recommend you the OG good portal fic: Blue Sky by wafflestories (fanfic.net)#if you haven't already of course. there's a reason it's famous (that is to say wow it's good)#it was big inspiration behind me writing my own portal story#anyway! thank you again 100× over! i truly do appreciate your words 💜

Reminder to ALL my followers and ESPECIALLY my mutuals.
I have severe anxiety and I tend to overthink what people say and I am also extremely self conscious.
@foxgirl87
#I'm telling you anxiety is a absolute bitch#Yes Fox you're the one making me self conscious#It's just sometimes you make me feel like a bad guy in a situation#I'm sure it's not what you're trying to make me feel#But I just tend to miss social cues with also being autistic#And listen I'm not trying to make you feel bad or guilt trip you#I don't wanna do that#It's just I had to reveal the truth at some point#I couldn't keep it bottled up forever#Man this sure was a fun rant#/hj#Humour is my only way of coping with my anxiety

oh yeah i went to a uni open day and allergies decided to pummel me in a rather quiet room with over a hundred other people during a law course presentation when i had ONE tissue that had previously been a bookmark. i only sneezed four times but my right eye and nostril could NOT stop watering i gave in and used my sleeve and it got absolutely soaked in snot 😭😭
#anyway the uni was pretty whelming but i got some useful info about ways to get into the course i want if i don't qualify initially#and some actually really useful info about a lot of work opportunities during the degree. there's an on campus law practice :0#and a lot of places offer jobs through the uni instead of putting them on market#so pretty good stuff#tho i did see my almost-ex (we never really dated but he liked me and i humoured it for a couple days before i realised i did not like him)#and he was pissing me off there i dont feel strongly negatively but man i do not fw him#oh man we're tumblr mutuals hi if you see this.... i would block but i forgot his URL. dont think he uses this often?? ill have a look#and maybe block. yeah#update i scrolled through my tumblr messages to find him and it says his blog does not exist#anyway. wow i got off topic#oh yeah i didnt fw him during our short ideal either#bc i was all uhh yeah im not sure about this lets take it slow bro did NOT take it very slow#anyway it was kind of funny he very obviously liked me for weeks before i caught on it he said 'i like you' and i still did not realise#on halloween he was eager to suggest doing the lady and the tramp spaghetti move on a pocky stick as a 'challenge' and i thought nothing of#it#so that was a cool insight into how oblivious i am in the romance department

Hard to not be a little bit of a narcissist when people continually prove to be dumber and worse than me (and im hot as hell)
#this is about how im frustrated with people being goddamn stupid about various topics#presented in a humourous manner#There are many people I consider my equal or superior in various contexts or aspects#that said I am fucking awesome#everyone loves me#+ I am swag as hell#Also specifically @ all my friends and mutuals you can be sure I am not talking about you here#just in case#since I know some of you are anxious as hell about this kind of thing
