It is Wednesday, my dudes! And it's Day 3 of THE LATEST LITERACY WALLCHART FOR CHILDREN Advent Calendar!

First of all, I love the tone of this one! Somehow I always picture it said by some snobby aristocratic lady—"Celery is a commoner's vegetable"—you know? Animated by old-school Disney (maybe 101 Dalmatians era), a white lady with a ski jump nose and a strawberry blonde bun. The kind of person who says "dreadfully" instead of "very." And I know it's probably that celery is a vegetable that's commonly available, but (1) that's not so much the case here in Japan, and (2) something about the phrase "a kind of common vegetable" really just does it for me. So snooty! I love it. The delivery, in my house, is always (in a pan-Atlantic accent), "Celery is a kind of ...........*sniff*.......... 'common' vegetable."

Also, "a celery." I think we need to embrace this nomenclature. People learning Japanese and Chinese love to complain about how confusing counters are, but English does it all the time too! English delights in doing it! We have a bunch of celery, a stalk of celery, a stick of celery, and when I Googled "how do you count celery," just to be sure that there was nothing else, I learned that celery counting is also an issue for programmers for some reason! Wow. My literacy wallchart really *is* educational.

I inflict on you my modern dragodile brainrot

Random thoughts that I didn’t have energy to draw

- this is the only “safe” timeline from the canon event (divorce) ie they never fell out (their best selves)

- croc would’ve killed at rugby (I base pre transition croc off of a American rugby player Ilona Maher, she’s amazing fr)

- dragon is the singer/ front man of the punk rock band revolutionary army or the “revs”

- croc runs baroque works a company that deals with property development

- everyone at baroque works thought croc was a widower for like the longest time (it’s seriously embarrassing)

- croc 100% stares at the billboard whenever he misses his husband is bored

- dragons music is like des rocs mixed with falling in reverse (one day i animate bad girls club)

- they have matching tattoos (for luffy)

While they are both very cool they immediately become massive losers whenever within 10 ft of Luffy

Some examples

Crocodile losing his reading glasses on his head

Dragon shrieking when startled (he had headphones in)

Both running into a solid object while staring at the other; pole, door, car, wall

They have a super solid partnership (mainly because they are ok being on their own, they don’t have to be with each other 24/7) it’s not the classic I need you in my life it’s I don’t need you but I want you in my life.

i am SCREAMING rn !!

alright so i'm watching community 4x01, "history 101." and i am Concerned about abed. and there's this exchange where abed says he's fine, and troy asks, "f-i-n-e or f-y-n-e?" he explains to britta and annie (and to the audience) that one of them is code for not actually being fine. abed responds that he's "f-Y-n-e," and troy, comforted by the reassurance that abed is Actually Fine, leaves with britta, annie, and shirley.

here's the kicker: it's a movie reference. he built a little movie reference check-in system for abed. troy states that HE made up the code; it wasn't abed's idea! it was TROY who said, "hey, you know that movie line? can we use it so i can subtly check in on your emotional state?"

this is why troy is my favorite character. what a sweetheart.

the movie reference is to "the italian job," which i haven't seen in maybe a year, so i don't remember much about it. it's a heist movie! i'm mostly sure it has mark wahlberg in it. but early on in the movie, the younger, up-and-coming heist team leader says that he's fine. his heist team leader mentor reminds him that "fine" stands for "freaked out, insecure, neurotic, and emotional." the line comes back later in the movie, i'm mostly sure.

for troy and abed, it probably means the same thing. if abed says he's "f-i-n-e," he's referencing the movie: he's freaked out, insecure, neurotic, emotional, or otherwise Not Alright. however, if he says he's "f-y-n-e," it's not a reference; he's just fyne.

Love that the dwampyverse has a binary scale of how supportive an older sibling in hiding sibling shenanigans. On one hand you have Kevin Grant Gomez, who goes out of his way to help hide Gretel's superhero adventures. And on the other hand you have Candace Flynn Fletcher, who goes out of HER way to BUST her brothers for their invention adventures.

And then you have Sarah "Eh, whatever shit happens to my little brother is clearly none of my business" Murphy, stuck very firmly in the middle. If they didnt each live on three different points of the Tri-State Area across town, I genuinely believe they would be the best of friends.

Hey actually now that I'm talking about the Hush Jason retcon: I feel like it’s a kinda divisive (maybe??) one but honestly I really do love it, because the actual contents of the Batman combined with the stuff implied in that batman annual/lost days results in just the most balls to the wall miscommunication scenario known to man. And not in a bad way! In the best way! Both Bruce and Jason have absolutely valid (to them) reasons for acting the way they do and said reasons grate on each other perfectly to create just the perfect storm of nobody being happy. It's honestly amazing.

As of the retcon, Jason shows up in a graveyard acting as a miraculous fake apparition version of himself, intentionally flinging around the most hurtful cutting accusations of abandonment that he doesn't even believe (for the most part) specifically because he wants to taunt Bruce into giving him a reaction. To him, if Bruce visibly reacts pretty much at all to the fake acted-out Jason who died blaming him and feeling abandoned, the Jason he'd be most likely to get emotional over, that means that some, just any, part of Bruce is sad about it all, and misses him and valued their time together, or even feels just a tiny shred of Bad about how it all went down, and the fact that Jason went through the effort of staging all this indicates that it meant enough to him to search out confirmation of Bruce's... not even grief like he's aiming for just slight regard for what happened! that said confirmation very likely could have changed things! And as of Hush proper, Bruce doesn't give him an INCH of reaction because he was so sure in every moment that this was obviously an imposter, and he was sure of this because he "knows" that Jason (who is actually putting him through a trial of "does he actually love me" in the present moment) would NEVER doubt that Bruce loves him, and the idea of someone puppeting his beloved son's memory around just infuriates him (said puppeteer is Jason himself,) so there's no reason to be sad or say anything loving to his son's ghost or emote because all it would do is give this sick and cruel villain satisfaction after going for low hanging fruit (totally not because he's repressing his trauma.) So Jason leaves this whole mess having definitively proved to himself that he never meant anything to Bruce and ready to carry out Under the Hood, Bruce walks away completely secure in the idea that Jason ALWAYS felt EXTREMELY loved and cared for with him, having stoically acted properly in the face of that dirty trick and primed for some quality brooding monologues, and neither of them ever figures out what went down!

forgive me, i'm only on episode seven of fantasy high freshman year, but fabriz has bewitched me on the sole premise that i think it would be very funny if riz was fabian's bi awakening. like riz does some dope shit with his gun or is rambling about clues and fabian goes "oh shit".

I feel like Patrick Bateman is the kinda guy who gets absolutely, completely, utterly pathetic the second he comes down with a cold or something. Bro gets the sniffles and that’s enough to have him completely out of commission and stuck in bed like an ailing victorian child with consumption.

Loved the finale, I thought it was pretty well done with what they were able to work with and how they left it off, but I am fucking STARVING for marinler content hhhhhhhhhhhh. I was hoping they’d at least get in another hug or smth for the finale :’) oh well. Time to draw marinler in their 40’s and married with their own ship to cope 👍

When I say “Spencer Hastings is so me” I don’t mean the good grades and extracurricular activities, I mean the anxiety, the obsessive nature, the insomnia, the caffeine addiction, being high strung, the neurosis, being competitive, the self doubt, hardheadedness, and the emotional exhaustion.
