#edd is a BAD COOK i will DIE ON THIS HILL!!

[holy-reference-in-a-username]

out of curiosity did the zombeh attack ever happen in this world? if so do any of them remember it or how would they feel about it? if not what would you believe would happen if so?

well...

one of my favorite things about eddsworld is how it uses the classic cartoon trope of everyone dying at the end of an episode and then being totally fine by the next one. fuck continuity!

the zombeh attacks definitely did happen. at some point. in some reality. i guess i would say, Edd, Tom, Matt, and Tord remember what happened in the eddisodes. outside of that...

they're not really sure.

Text:

Tord: Remember that zombie apocalypse?

Tom: No.

Matt: Ugh, don't remind me!

Edd: Oh, that was a BLAST!

Td: How did it... uh... end again?

Tm: Oh I have to be WAY drunker for this

SFX: FWOOM

Top 10 TV Show List

Tagged by @rum-and-shattered-dreams, thanks!

This is a very tough decision and I am very bad at choosing favorites, but here goes in no particular order:

Courage the Cowardly Dog really shaped me in my formative years. It’s funny, dark, macabre, and some great character/setting designs. It’s inspirational and there are plenty of moments that to this day still creep me the fuck out.

I used this gif specifically because I love both TOS and DS9. I mean all Trek has my heart, but these two especially. I’ve watched so much Trek in my life. So much. Dragged friends into the Trek hole. At its core is hope, and that speaks to me. Also cool aliens.

Alright Ed, Edd, and Eddy is really specially because I wrote my very first piece of fan fiction for it. It was self insert where I was accepted into the trio’s close friend group. Also it’s got a great, unique style to it and probably started my appreciation for the lovable asshole characters.

Rick and Morty. This show is a lot of fun, but also with surprising depth. And then a character named Mr. Poopybutthole.

It’s just a great show. Mystery, intrigue, fun characters, monsters, and Waddles. Gravity Falls is Fantastic. 

I’m so surprised and delighted to find this site has Big Wolf on Campus gifs. This show really means a lot. Not to get too heavy but it was one of my big comforts during a really bad period. Also, quite frankly it helped me realize in retrospect I’m queer as fuck and gave me an OT3 whose hill I’ll die on.

Fuck Bojack Horseman is a heavy show and I adore it. I’d say we really don’t have anything else quite like it. It’s especially unique because we get to see from all the characters’ views and feel just a bit of sympathy or empathy for each, whereas most other shows wouldn’t allow us to do that for all the characters. Also this show can go out of the box and push what an animated show can be, especially like with that underwater episode where there was no dialogue (except at the very very end).

Please give me a bluray remastered set with specials and extras please I’m begging you Disney. It made a generation of monster-philes slash scalies. 

The X-Files is another show I watched so much as a kid, then I did an in depth depression rewatch when I hit my twenties. Mulder’s obsession just clicked with me. The mysteries intrigued me, the characters compelled me, the constant danger and unanswered questions gripped me. The later seasons disappointed me. The revival interested me but ultimately while still good it lacked a little something of its original magic. I still believe in the Scully is Immortal theory (look it up, it makes sense!). Also Scully/Mulder/Skinner is an under appreciated OT3.

I used this gif because there’s none specific for Guy’s Grocery Games, and also it’s amazing holy shit look at it. Beautiful. Majestic. Anyway, I’ve heavily gotten into this show and just adore it. It’s fun, Guy Fieri is a treasure, and it has encouraged me to cook more. A very good cooking show.

Alright, that’s my 10. With no obligation I’ll be tagging: @scarscarchurro, @welcome-to-helliot, @arichu, @lynsleigh, @prince-kenni, @celestialwavelenght, @david-browie

Why New Parents Need to Take a Break From the News (and What They Should Do Instead)

In the months after my kids were born, the news cycle would send me into tailspins of anxiety and fear. The Penn State sex-abuse scandal and the Newtown shootings paralyzed me for days—I wept while changing diapers, wept in the bathtub, wept while pushing the stroller down the street. What might have been (merely!) horrifying pre-kids was now incapacitating. For my own mental health, I had to stop reading the news and looking at social media.

Take a Media Fast

Judging from the conversations in my moms’ groups, these feelings aren’t at all unusual. New parents are especially vulnerable to anxiety, says Laura Venuto, a New York City therapist specializing in postpartum mental-health issues. “Sleep deprivation and hormones exacerbate mood and anxiety symptoms. With new parenthood comes a heightened awareness that you’re suddenly not only responsible for yourself, but also a small child in what sometimes seems like a dangerous world.”

Dr. Venuto suggests a total news-media fast or at least a major reduction, corralling your news into 10 or 15 minutes (“In the morning! Not before bed!” she says), and then doing something pleasurable, like playing with your baby or calling a friend. For those worried that being out of touch means slacking off in their political activism, she gently suggests cutting yourself some slack: “If you’re a new parent, you’re not going to be making changes on a global scale. You’re in survival mode. You can put in a call to your representative, and that can be enough.”

Practice ‘Containment’

Lissa Hunsicker Kenney, a social worker in Brooklyn who counsels trauma survivors, also recommends “containment”—the first line of treatment for anxiety—as a first step. “Turning off your iPhone is containment—because it’s so easy for it to become uncontained. It just scrolls and scrolls, and it’s endless.”

So what are we supposed to do, instead? (Besides take care of our kids, I mean.) I asked Lifehacker readers, and my own new-mom friends, what media they turn to for good escapist distraction. I didn’t vet all the answers (though I did nix anything that had “horror” in its IMDB description—what about “non-disturbing” did these people not understand?) so do your own research before leaping into something totally unknown. They’re a good mix of classics, favorite sitcoms and adventure shows, a few kids’ shows and books, comics, and pretty much the entire oeuvre of the BBC.

Ideally, this list will remind of you of beloved books, TV shows, and movies that you’ve enjoyed in the past and will be soothing entertainment now, while you’re still in the sensitive new-parent stage. I read all of Jane Austen at night instead of mindless smartphone scrolling; others swear by sitcoms: “When my son was born we very quickly figured out we had to stop watching Breaking Bad and Walking Dead and just ended up re-watching Parks and Rec on a continuous loop for like three years,” one commenter wrote.
