#clever queue pun

[nostalgia-tblr]

i have this headcanon that in Gallilfreyan pronouns probably aren't gendered (Because Regeneration) but they do have a whole array of pronouns relating to past and future (and etc) versions of someone, which make potentially confusing time-travel scenarios easier to discuss.

and there are better ways to translate these into other languages than the non-Gallifreyan characters usually get stuck listening to, but the tardis just like to fuck with people a bit sometimes.

the doctor: "so as [pronoun A] was just explaining to [pronoun B], [pronoun A] think that [pronoun C] and [pronoun A] should work on this together."

the tardis, in the companion's head: "he just said 'me' a bunch of times there :) hope this helps :)"

When people are mocking the "tesseroki" thing and I'm sat there like "Oh yeah, that's so stupid! Imagine shipping an alien with a blue box, that's... that's just madness! What sort of fool would do something like that!" while sweating profusely and trying to hide all that Doctor/TARDIS fic before anyone sees it.

“ so why’s it so important anyway? ”  elizabeth swann questions glancing down at the cypher she discovered (timeguardians)

This meme (x) | @timeguardians​

Why was it so important? 

Incredulous, Ben glowered at the woman, holding out his hand in agitated expectance. “It’s important because it’s mine,” he growled out in reply. It was perhaps not the best answer to give; no, he knew it wasn’t. This stranger seemed intent on stealing from him simply because he desired what was in her hand. His carelessness had allowed her to abscond with it, and now she seemed to believe it was worth something... And it was -- just not in the way she was hoping.

“Madam, I’m not going to ask you again,” Ben warned. She wasn’t going to make him beg, was she? Or worse yet, tackle her to the ground for the intelligence? He certainly had his principles, but he was not beneath fighting for what was necessary. Not even with a woman.

what is the great and terrible queue

Oh it’s just my queue tag. It doesn’t really mean anything. Waaaaayy back in the day, it was the thing on tumblr to tag your queued posts with some kind of pun, or in my case to just use some phrase and lazily replace one word with “queue.” The novel A Great and Terrible Beauty was popular at the time, so I chose that as my queue tag.

Most people’s tags were a lot more clever than mine (“may the force be with queue” is one of my faves), but I got attached to it and never really wanted to change it, even though the trend and the novel’s relevance have long since waned.

In any case, you can always tell someone has been on tumblr for a really, really long time if they tag their queued posts that way.

What if i had a queue tag that was a clever and whitty pun off the word "queue"

Mayhaps something intelligent and topical like "these are not the droids queue are looking for"

Or what about "always thinking of queue" for the romantic soul

Something simple like "queuebert 🐠" would do wonders for the meme-afficianados as well

Hi! How are you? (zacksfairest.tumblr.com/post/748215922988302336) Your current "queue tag" appears to be "hey brat be sure to queue this" and used to be "Doth mother know you queueth her posts." Your first use of "Doth mother know you queueth her posts" was May 10, 2012 and your last use was December 7 2023. Your first use of "hey brat be sure to queue this" was November 24 2023. Why?

"Doth mother know you queueth her posts" was a queue pun reference to a line from the first Avengers movie, said by Iron Man:

"Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?"

I thought it to be very clever when I first made the tag...oh dear. 12 years ago, by your account. And it probably is! But I've long since outgrown my love for that movie, and I felt that 12 years was a good amount of time to set up a new tag~

"hey brat be sure to queue this" is yet another queue pun reference, but to a line said by Ryomen Sukuna from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen.

I, unfortunately, cannot find a good clip, either in Japanese or English, but the line is "Hey, brat, be sure to savor this."

TL;DR, I changed it because I felt that the original tag had been in place long enough. And I love Sukuna. So there you go.

I started watching that anime about an extremely introverted teen called either Hitori or Bocchi in a new school, who quickly makes friends with an extroverted blonde girl. I also started watching that anime about a teenaged girl who has trouble communicating and wants to make friends with everyone in her class. I am, of course, talking about Hitoribocchi no Marumaruseikatsu.

HnM is a series I found out about when reading the TV Tropes page for Bocchi the Rock!, which mentioned that there was another anime about an introvert whose name is a pun on a Japanese word meaning "alone". One night, when I wanted to watch something before bed but didn't have any good seasonal choices, I decided to watch HnM.

Adaptation-wise, it's nowhere near as creative as Bocchi the Rock!, but it doesn't adapt its source manga in a cripplingly literal fashion like Komi-san Can't Communicate. Nobody's going to remember the animation for being unique or clever, but nobody's going to remember how often they animated a shot that looks awkward when characters aren't really moving around even though they should be.

But as far as the core story goes...HnM pales in comparison to both of those series, and most of that comes down to their protagonists. Hitori Gotoh was definitely written by someone who has intimate experience with social anxiety, and probably personal experience. Shouko Komi is...more of a mixed bag, but the author probably based her on one or more autistic people they knew. Hitori Bocchi feels like a clumsy shy anime girl.

And beyond that, H. Bocchi isn't internally motivated or complex the way H. Gotoh or S. Komi are. Gotoh and Komi try to make friends because they want to make friends, because they feel isolated; this exists alongside other skills, interests, and flaws in both characters. Bocchi tries to make friends because her ex-friend told her to; she is bad at talking and clumsy and that's about it. She overplans and is kinda inflexible when her plans turn out useless or incomplete, I guess? That's...something.

There's just less going on in Hitoribocchi no Marumaruseikatsu than its peers. Which I guess is fine for an anime I watch when I'm not quite tired enough to go to bed, but I don't think that's what the author had in mind.

(Note: At time of queueing, I've only seen one episode of HnM. The series I'm comparing it to did a lot to establish their series' strengths in their first episodes, though, so I don't think I'm being unfair.)

anne no i need that french hood back by friday at the LATEST and i do NOT want blood on it how am i suppose to get those stains out nobody's invented Vanish yet ffs

[copiousloverofcopia]

Mama! Do you queue posts or do you ever sleep? I'm getting worried about you because I see a new post from ya all the time.

Lol. Don't worry about me I do sleep.... Occasionally lol

I do have posts that are queued throughout the day. I should probably have some sort of clever ghost pun tag to attach to those so you guys can tell the difference lol.

Any suggestions?

But yeah there are times I'm up at like 3:30 in the morning posting something because I've been working on it so I was like I'm going to post it now I don't care lol

Torn between the traditional fandom instinct to absolve the villain of all responsibility for their crimes and the Missy voice in my head saying "Don't. Don't you dare. Don't even think about it. I killed all those innocent people (some them more than once!) and you will give me the credit for those murders. Those are my crimes and I refuse to let you take them from me."

[keefsteef]

lmaoo just you WAIT, I WILL eventually be ⚡🧠⚡ enough to come up with some clever " queue " pun to call my queue tag.

👺.

consolidating this thread with these great tags from @legobiwan

as delighted and relieved as i am that gf did not go the evil!ford route in canon (because such a plot would be too mean-spirited, simplify the stan/ford conflict too much, and implicitly tell dipper/audience that they were stupid for being invested in the mystery + the author). it is SUCH a fun sandbox to play in.

Bro, what the fuck?

No wonder Bill fell hard and assumed that Ford would be into causing the apocalypse together with him. If my man Ford was dropping casual lines like these in Bill's presence, no wonder he would assume that this was a man made of co-galactic-chaos-god-king material.

I love how TBOB turned Ford's "I was an innocent and naive scientist tricked by a cruel master manipulator" into "Oh, he was definitely tempted to go down hand in unlovable hand!" Like yes, clearly he still has moral framework that Bill doesn't, but I'm sure that there are dark hours of the night where Ford almost wishes he didn't.

I think I may take a break from tumblr for a couple days to clear my head a little bit. The last few days have just been a whirlwind of different emotions I feel I haven’t properly processed yet and being obsessively online may stand in the way of taking some emotional inventory there. Queue is up and running (and not tagged with any clever queue pun because I’m lazy), so you won’t miss me too much

[septembermonologues]

i feel like i need a queue tag (i feel bad that someone might message/ask/reply to me because it looks like im active bc i have my queue going) but i also feel like it needs to be clever and i do have some jokes but i dont have puns
