I wonder if there is anything to add to such a page 🤔

What if when we were born we were each assigned a Wikipedia page like a social security number would that be fucked up or what

silly little EstLat detective AU I didn't plan to post because it's completely out of context, but it turned out better than I expected so I'll throw it on here yay

The discussion around the fandomization of the I/P conflict is so fucking relevant because why did I just see someone in a discord for a reaction channel that reacts to musicals and cartoons suggest them to react to the Columbia ""protests"" with a heart emoji as if it's another episode of their favorite show and SIX other people agreed with that

hey guys! here's a ukrainian activist in poland looking for people to organise and protest with (they're planning a rally near the russian embassy on feb 24, and maybe more).

if you're a ukrainian/pole in warsaw, please consider joining (and if you're not, sharing her tweet would be great).

The biggest news story of today in Poland is this woman on twitter who found a frog with a broken leg when she was coming home drunk a few days ago. She took it home, found someone willing to drive it half across country to someone who knows frog medicine, the frog was kept for a few days to let it heal and was released back into the wild.

And it's a cute story, right? Of course, but the absolute best part of it is that it gave us this photo

"The end of liberalization in Poland, like its beginning, was accompanied by anti-Semitism. During March of 1968, an organ­ized “anti-Zionist” (a euphemism for anti-Jewish) campaign was launched against those self-defined Poles whom Polish society as a whole tended to regard as nothing but Jews. It turned into one of the most extensive witch hunts in the history of that country. The harassment began with an attack on and purge of a few people in top positions in the party, in the government, in the army, and in public life, but soon it broadened to include individuals of Jewish origin in all walks of life. They were pressured to provide proof of loyalty to the state and party, proof which, when given, failed to exonerate them. Anti-Semitic insults were hurled at individuals of Jewish descent. The students protesting peacefully against the end of liberalization and the tightening of controls in Poland were alleged to be misled into insurrection and counter-revolution by clever, traitorous Zionist plotters. They were mercilessly sup­pressed. When interrogated by the police, arrested students of Jew­ish or mixed parentage were repeatedly asked to state their nation­ality, and their response 'Polish' was rejected as not true. Others who were 'real Poles' were asked, 'why did you tie yourself to these filthy Jews?' or, 'why did you allow yourself to be used by these kikes?' Their 'Zionist' leaders were arrested and put on trial. The parents of these stu­dents—sometimes prominent Communists—were removed from their jobs, as were other individuals of Jewish origin. All of these were urged to leave Poland, but permission to do so was given to them only if they renounced Polish citizenship and applied for exit to Israel."

BEWITCHINGGG!!! And I love you

*Flashbangs him at you and RUNS*

Close up-! Hey, wait a minute...

Tee-hee :3

For those who don't know, that outfit and pose actually is Anatole's from The Great Comet of 1812. Why give this look to Sun? Because when that mf Anatole isn't being a bastard scoundrel he acts/sings so amazingly, a bit fruity, and unhinged.

GIVE ME CROSSOVERS OR GIVE ME DEATH

Honestly I just like imagining the goobers as the people singing when I listen to music sometimes and this just fit so perfectly. Moon would be Pierre and istg it works so well-

The shading was a bit hard because I was trying to use yellow light on a yellow goober, but then I added the blue light and it was smooth sailing from there.

Thank y'all for looking! I feel like not a lot of people know the musical online (or I'm just oblivious) so I feel like I just threw a flashbang into an unsuspecting crowd.

My favorite songs are Letters, Charming, and Pierre & Anatole, they're all pretty story heavy but I love it. (The Ball definitely has the most unhinged Anatole, though the wording can be a bit yikes a few times.)

You know this scene in modern warfare II where Alejandro says "ehh I can't call Soap Johnny 😔" and Soap answers "Don't. Only Ghost can pull that off"

This scene in polish dubbing is so funny to me because somehow they kind of changed the meaning of this conversation (honestly most scenes in polish dubbing make me laugh)

In polish dubbing the literal translation would be

Ghost: "Johnny [...]"

Alejandro: "eh I WON'T call Soap "Johnny" 😡😤"

Soap: "Good 🙄. Only Ghost can say that"

In english dub Alejandro sounds like he's actually kinda disappointed that he can't call Soap "Johnny" like he knows it's reserved for Ghost (for some reason). But here he's just mad, and nobody even forces him to use this nickname so it doesn't make any sense. It's so silly I love them

and then Soap in eng dub says "Only Ghost can PULL THAT OFF" which suggests that nickname "Johnny" only sounds good? when Ghost says that and nobody else. Like this nickname only works if Ghost uses it.

But in polish dub he just says "Ghost is the only one allowed to say that 😇". Love him for that

I have love/hate relationship with this dubbing. I can't stand Soap's voice actor and at the same time I can't get enough of his voice. This is driving me crazy

Every time I realize that there are people in the world who did not grow up watching Asterix and Obelix, it gives me shivers down my spine.

Especially since the new kids may not even know what it is at all....
