#it's some kind of punk

I'm tired of people discussing if Green Day is pop punk or punk rock. let's just enjoy the music, shall we?

I watched the new Spider-Man across the spiderverse

I've always been so focused on Hobie that I've never even noticed Gwen and Pav high-fiving before!

(also let me know if there's a specific scene from the movie you guys want me to make a gif of! <3)

I hate fake and arbitrary divisions between "high" and "low" culture, but I do think there is an important (and morally neutral) difference between a story that's trying to say something important, and a story that is just out here trying to be fun.

Like Terry Pratchett is genre fiction, which is typically regarded by academic institutions and establishment publishing houses as low culture, but it seems undeniable that most of his stories are about moral outrage and love and free will. That is literature that takes itself seriously.

There's also The Hardy Boys Undercover Brothers No. 1: Extreme Danger, which thematically boils down to "Don't you want to fight crime and dye your hair blue? Wouldn't it be fun to fight crime and dye your hair blue?" That is literature which is just trying to be fun.

I would argue that most of the former category tries to be fun, but isn't just trying to be fun. I'd also argue that a lot of things in the second category say more than they are designed to say -- many Hardy Boys books are pretty blatant American jingoist propaganda.

More fun LOP details: Carlo most likely choosing to be a Bastard Stalker after graduation, with the added bonus that a "bastard" means someone born out of wedlock,

i.e., "Fatherless"

i’ve got hobie brown thoughts so i thought i’d share with the class.

because he carries his guitar with him literally everywhere, he has sooo many guitar picks. in the pockets of his vest, pockets on his jeans, in drawers, on tables, on floors, in other dimensions. little pieces of him pop up in the shape of guitar picks. each one a bit different.

you can find him mindlessly using a guitar pick punch on a piece of nylon during down time. or doodling a spider on each one. an ‘x’ drawn with the letters F N S M occupying the open spaces.

bonus: imagine hobie giving picks to the kids he saves. “pretty brave, kid. really wicked what you did.”

bonus x2: hobie giving the spider gang their own custom picks. like different colours, their spider insignias or inside jokes written on them. definetly don’t think about how they would turn the picks into charms on braclets or necklaces.

Punk Hazard children & sanji

People like to say sanji was ooc/rude/selfish in the scene of biscuit room but I'd say that sanji wasn't any of those at all and he was right on point as usual

Now onto the scene, they were all asking around as to what that place was, a nursery? A daycare? A hospital? (See? speculation because the children were healthy and happy playing in a safe environment). Now Let's analyze the situation :

Context for the children : Sanji explicitly says that they didn't know if the kids're there for treatment or not... sanji's logic seemed reasonable to me because a hospital/treatment facility would be a boring place for a child and they'd naturally be homesick and wanna go outside (even if it's dangerous). They didnt know what was going on with the children. They didn’t even know about the existence of Caesar. Hell, they didnt know Caesar was a bad person until Chopper discovered drugs in the candy much much later. Also sanji's reasoning was explicitly stated, and even Nami agreed with him on the very next panel

context for the enemy : They had ZERO context at the time. Even if punk hazard was Sketchy and something WAS going on for sure, they didnt know what type of enemies they'll be facing. They didnt know about Caesar or doflamingo or who is there. Moreover sanji was the main combatant in that group and he had the responsibility of keeping them safe. And with sanji's tendency and foresight to take every possible bad outcome into consideration (that has saved the strawhats' butts several times that i wont elaborate here), it was obvious that he wouldn't take these children with them. Sanji is kind, not dumb.

Risk for the children : Again, when they realized it was a hospital, from their pov, it was a specialized facility for children with a rare disease. And taking 'patients' out of their safe sterilized environment could even kill those patients (they could get infected and/or spread the disease to others), esp in an island like punk hazard where it's like a warzone outside, half of the island is tundra while the other half is covered in LAVA. I'd say NAMI was the irrational one in that situation, because she decided to just barge outside in the snow with a bunch of supposedly sick kids not appropriately dressed or prepared for the weather. If kinemon did not have his dressup ability, the kids would've died from hypothermia. Secondly, The kids were very easy targets (given some of them are LARGE sized and they are literal CHILDREN) and if you consider vergo Monet etc showing up attacking the kids, all of the children would be dead INCLUDING THE STRAWHATS.

The children's condition : the group did break the children out and what happens? When the kids start going through withdrawals, they start attacking them. If Law wasnt present to form alliance and take chopper inside to find the antidotes... the children, nami usopp all would be dead because of nami's rash decision. They didn't even know how to restrain those children and almost died like 20 minutes into rescuing them.

The pirate stigma : even nami says it as she hands over the kids to tashigi (navy). A pirate crew carrying a bunch of children would just bring more risk and problems for both parties involved. (Again, she was impulsive in the biscuit room). They would be kidnappers if shit actually was different.

At the same time sanji is the one who risked his life to save the men and tashigi from the gas. He fought vergo, he saved kinemon, he protected his friends, he was perfect.

I feel like I’ve just been divinely blessed with a great gravity falls fanfic idea but I’m not really a writer nor do I have tons of time but I think I’m going to at least write my idea down so I can have fun imagining it

Nah cus shipping is wild, why are we recycling these same hoes

[vaguely-concerned]

I think rye thinks it's incredibly adorable of davrin to be worried about him after the accidental hallucination tea experiment. that stoic option 'you know, I lived a whole life before you' contains a world of 'davrin, I'm a mourn watcher with a severely misspent youth behind me. I've been stratospherically high on things you couldn't and probably wouldn't want to imagine, this is barely a tickle'. to me.

When I was at camp I used a camp-issued wheelchair because there's a shit ton of hills and walking involved. You'd think that after working at a camp filled with kids with physical disabilities and wheelchairs they'd be used to seeing kids pop wheelies when they're bored, right?

NOPE. BECAUSE EVERY TIME I DID THEY FLIPPED OUT THINKING I WAS GOING TO FALL. I PROMISE I HAVE A TON OF CORE STRENGTH TO DO THIS. I WONT FALL.
