so I totally understand fics where boba is angry at luke post-sarlacc and we get a lot of good angst and chara growth outta it - like I feel that's a reasonable reaction to have!! absolutely do not get me wrong!
h o w e v e r , I ALSO feel that boba going "eh, it was a job [shrug]" is THE funniest possible reaction and it DOES make me lose my mind a bit everytime I see ppl write him that way. keep it up gamers

The girls are plottinggggg
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wen chao#wang lingjiao#Realizing she was supposed to have an upper lip mole was a cold slap in the face. So sorry ma'am. I won't forget again.#They are evil dumbass 4 evil dumbass and I think we are all missing out on the sheer potential of the comedy between these two.#They have way too much power and are using it for the wrong reasons - which makes them truly great villains.#And when things don't go their way they become piles of whining sludge.#Wang Lingjiao is forever fascinating to me even though we only get crumbs about her.#She's a servant girl who's greatest asset is her beauty and her attractiveness.#Meaning she's had a life being in the gaze of people with significant positions of power over her.#I can't help but read her childishness and petty tantrums as someone who has finally been given the chance to not feel powerless.#If she was a more virtuous type we might 'like' her more but honestly...I don't think she would have survived to this point.#WLJ has only known power hierarchies her whole life. Probably accused of seduction before she even understood what that meant.#I love contrasting her with mianmian because they have similar(ish) backgrounds but different approaches to moving forwards#But WLJ's story is about flying too close to the sun and mianmian's is about going too close to the water.#Like the sea mist dragging her down into complacency - all the sect powerplays are mandatory to 'go along with' if she wants to climb-#-the social ladder. Yet she is the cautionary tale (and a foil to JGY as well) she leaves before sacrificing her own morals.#Mianmian flies away with her wings only slightly plucked while those who sacrificed everything to reach for the top crash and burn.

I think Danny Phantom fandom is absolutely sleeping on the sheer dumb bulshittery Danny, Sam and Tucker generate on the regular and it’s a fucking shame. Like, the three of them have exactly one (1) single braincell between them, and the only one to use it at least semi-regularly is Jazz. You literally can’t leave them for five minutes without them stumbling into some new bullshit every single time. Granted, a lot of times bullshit finds them first instead of the other way around, but by god will they make the situation worse. They run into the situations with the same reckless abandon the cockchafers fly into any solid obstacle in their way, and you’d think that at least one of them will be the voice of reason, and you’d be dead wrong.
Danny? He thought pranking a murder happy millionaire with a vindictive streak the size of Grand Canyon was a great idea. And then, like a moron, he decided to use equally murder happy government agency with a huge prejudice against ghosts and a vendetta against him, personally. Absolutely nothing that could go wrong with that, obviously!
(spoiler alert, things did go very wrong very fast)
Tucker? A valid choice at the first glance, except he is always down to commit crimes for either his friends or just for funsies. Remember that time he ran an obviously illegal babysitting scam business? Or that time when he brainwashed and then dimensionally displaced the whole school into Ancient Egypt setting? Another notable instances of Tucker being a menace, in no particular order: organised o pro-meat protest in a few hours, tried to shoot a ghost with his phone as a projectile (and succeeded), sold Sam out to a ghost out of sheer pettiness, gave Skulker an alarm-induced ptsd, almost killed Danny that one time (don’t worry, Danny was fine) and in general committed to being bullshit-enabling gremlin.
Now Sam would seem the most grounded and reasonable out of three of them, but it is what SHE wants you to believe. She is just as, if not more, unhinged as the boys, she just hides it better. Remember that time she trashed the castle and antagonised a few dozen of armed guards, while having no back up, no weapons, no allies and while being in some shithole in the Ghost Zone? And then basically told a tyrannical asshole with op dragon powers “fuck you and your entire kingdom” in the face? And then rode another dragon who put said asshole through a wall? Good times.
They all seem like perfectly reasonable people at the first glance, and then Tucker and Danny would dare each other to lick that weird glowing green rock, and Sam would roll her eyes and groan about how stupid boys are, and then Tucker would dare her to lick that glowing rock too, and Danny will say, “Come on, Tuck, it’s okay if she’s too afraid to do it-”, and yes, Sam and her mother have many disagreements on a lot of things, but both her mother AND Granny did not raise a fucking bitch, move over, Tucker, or so help her the spirit of Pandora-
They all end up absolutely miserable in ecto-containment units sick as hell with ecto-flu and on all questions answer that no, they don’t know how this happened, maybe it was ghost attack last week, they did get blasted by that green goo, after all, but really, they have absolutely no idea, honest. Jazz suspects something, but she also has no proof and therefore can’t prove anything. In the end, it was one of the worst weeks in their life and they all ended up swearing to not do it ever again.
(they do end up doing it again two months later)
#phandom is SLEEPING on the sheer comedic potential of those three committing crimes together I swear to god!!!!#like I do understand that this fandom loves it’s angst and all#and sam danny & tucker in the same scene together will more often than not end up in stand up comedy instead of angst#but god#GOD DO I WISH THERE WAS MORE OF THOSE THREE BEING DUMBASSES TOGETHER#like imagine them doing idk a heist together or smth#the panic the destruction the potential for reality defying bullshit#the ABSOLUTELY committed eco-terrorism off screen I know I was there#Sam was there bcs of obvious reasons and ended up organising an uprising#tucker was there bcs he’s always ready to commit crimes and stick it to the government#danny was there as moral support only and ended up on wanted lists of at least 7 countries#sam manson#tucker foley#danny fenton#danny phantom

some notes on Leave the World Behind (mild spoilers ahead) :
Ethan Hawke and Kevin Bacon are practically the same person. I wasn't entirely convinced otherwise until I saw them side by side.
I'm always gonna be on Ruth's side. bc why are we sleeping in the basement of our house? after we've proven our identity? on the second night?? i literally could not focus until that was addressed, like bffr. and all she wanted from her dad was a little reassurance and solidarity and he essentially sold her out to be coon to the racist entitled white woman who's still a little jumpy around him.
which brings us to Amanda. i think it's very telling that it took the end of the world as she knew it for her to acknowledge how awful she is.
G.H. act like you have some fucking sense. please.
Rose is a girl after my own heart. you better believe I'm following the signs into my own little slice of heaven.
#tbh i thought this was a comedy bc i just kept laughing at the sheer fucking audacity of it all#and when ruth read that family for filth in the kitchen? honey i was gagged 🤭#leave the world behind#julia roberts#ethan hawke#mahershala ali#myha'la herrold

'haha those silly ancients had no taste [unlike Me, in the modern day, who knows better]' what if i exploded you with my mind
#literally number one pet peeve is this perceived superiority over the taste or complexity or understanding of historical people#EVEN if it's just for a laugh. bc like okay what exactly are we supposed to be laughing about here#thoughts#having said that. the sheer comedy of overlaying that on a mummy portrait of all things.

Just because Yuri has said maybe five lines this whole series is not stopping me from imagining what a conversation between him and Jaden Yuki would look like.
#the sheer Comedy™️ and Emotions™️ of someone who can COMPLETELY out-evil Yuri who doesnt actually bother to posture#’so you were misguided in wanton destruction. Been there. Want some gum?’#imagining all the yuya bois meeting their universe counterpart#Yugo would just confuse Yusei I think. But get them talking about runners and the conversation takes off#meanwhile Yuma and Yuto is just Yuma making friends with ANOTHER deeply troubled goth#I need to write something for yugioh so bad#yugioh#yugioh arc v#ygo arc v#yuri arc v#jaden yuki#yuki judai

love how hua cheng is just like "I support xie lian rights and xie lian wrongs, except he can never do anything wrong ever even when he kills a bunch of people. Go off king" and Xie Lian is like “This is my beautiful husband, he has committed war crimes, but haven’t we all?”
And their relationship is somehow healthier than anything I've ever been in.
#emma posts#to be fair everything involving me didn’t have me aware that it was a thing#but I couldn’t compete anyway#tcgf#is it dating someone if they never told you they were dates and you misinterpreted them?#not asking for a friend#this is just straight up every situation I’ve been in#that’s as close as I’ve ever actually gotten to dating someone#I’ve witnessed plenty of other people’s relationships though#‘we’ve been dating for six months’ ‘those were dates?!’ ‘you asked me out first’ ‘and you rejected me!’ <- closest to dating I’ve been#all the other times I didn’t even ask the person out first. the just flat out never said it was a date and I thought we were just chilling#and all the other times I’ve asked someone out they rejected me and then DIDN’T ask me out without telling me they were asking me out#how was I supposed to know he changed his mind?#I’m still not over how I didn’t know we were dating until after we broke up#just the sheer comedy of my love life gets to me#comedy of errors ass love life#I’m getting really side tracked#Xie Liana’s friends were totally reasonable to think that someone stalking someone for several centuries is alarming#but somehow those two had it happen in the healthiest way possible???#I respect it tbh#only healthy relationship I’ve ever had that much sheer dedication in is me and my favorite cat which is a very maternal relationship#and i didn’t even actually kill the people who threatened him. they weren’t real threats but they knew they did psychological damage#to this day I wish I bit them until I tasted blood#but being in detention with them would have meant being around them longer than I had to be 😑#they have probably changed a lot since then but I still never want to see them again in my life#that might actually have played a slight role in how feral I get about protecting my cat 🐈⬛#I’m getting into personal issues again#our co-dependent parental dynamic. me and my cat. is perfectly healthy and I will not change it#said by someone who is not healthy but definitely will not change this specific thing#and the co-dependency is in fract mutual. that’s why it’s CO dependent

Play for Today: Under the Hammer (BBC, 1984)
"So. Tell me what happened."
"Well. It was me. I kicked it."
"Any particular reason?"
"I lost my temper."
"Who with?"
"I was having a... discussion about the painting and things to do with the painting with McClaren, sir, and, uh... it got out of hand."
"And you kicked the painting?"
"Yes, sir."
"Instead of kicking McClaren?"
"Yes, sir."
"I wish you'd kicked McClaren."
"So do I, sir."
#under the hammer#play for today#single play#bbc#1984#richard wilson#stephen fagan#classic tv#peter vaughan#michael aldridge#james maxwell#peter bayliss#stanley lebor#robert putt#bernard gallagher#david cardy#christopher fulford#harry ditson#john tallents#jill meager#delightfully drily witty play that's a sort of comedy of manners concerning the people involved in the upcoming sale of a potentially fake#van gogh at an auction house. at the beginning it seems like this might be a kind of upstairs downstairs piece‚ contrasting the lowly#porters who arrange and prepare the exhibition of sale contents with the posh managers and experts who float around inbetween them#that element remains but is sidelined a little to focus more on Vaughan's head porter and one moment of lost control which has far reaching#consequences for everyone. Vaughan is as excellent as he always was‚ a tragic portrait of quiet dignity meeting sheer pigheadedness and#unbending yet naturally servile nature. Aldridge and Maxwell‚ tho‚ are the scene stealers as the owner (?) and head expert of the auction#house respectively‚ a pair of upper class grotesques who nevertheless display surprising nuance and depth as the plot develops#(particularly Maxwell). less politically motivated than many PfTs (not that it is at all apolitical: communism‚ the soviet union‚ wartime#looting and princess Diana all figure into the story) but a genuinely very compellingly told and entertaining play that manages moments#of real sharp comic dialogue alongside a gloomier slant on the inevitability of dishonest dealings at every level

whos worse for each other. butchlander or ozycom
That is the question of the century I think, I'm inclined to say butchlander because in an alternative universe I could actually see ozycom making it work in a way that's at least a little better for each other
#BY A VERY NARROW MARGIN#i have no reasoning for this. it is just what my soul tells me#butchlander is one of those ships however where i desperately want to teleport the characters involved into real life to show it them#to see their reactions because the sheer amusement i would feel would make probably being murdered worth it#even when it's not something i personally ship. it'd just be comedy gold to me#i would full on do a bad impersonation of butcher's accent on purpose. and i am british#i would literally put on an american accent to pretend to do a bad british accent#my autistic self hates eye contact and drinking milk but i would stare at homelander without blinking#while chugging all milk in the vicinity just so he cannot drink any#anyway i do actually find them fascinating as characters and i don't know how i got on that tangent of just#declaring how i would try to really annoy them#thorn answers#the boys#watchmen

obsessed with how so many of shin ha kyun's roles are either (1) the silliest sluttiest guy you've ever seen or (2) deeply fucked up guy who is hitting 200 mph on his way to becoming even worse or (3) a combination of the last two. man found the roles he likes the most. real of him
#caroline talks#shin ha kyun#i'm obviously oversimplifying all his roles#because in all seriousness i'm so deeply amazed by the sheer versatility he has as an actor#like. man can do comedy man can do rom-com man can do deep melodramas man can do tragic war movies man can do thriller#but also. i do adore whenever shin ha kyun plays a deeply fucked up character who's just like 'yes. i will be committing a crime now#and i will look so insanely hot while doing it. and make a bunch of silly people question their morals for it.'#like. good for him.

I think it would be very hilarious if there were fan-songs for Octonauts the same way that there's fan-songs for FNaF. How long until someone writes a ditty about Tweak making the Gups...
Some EXCELLENT examples from the server already though! Here's the PROMPTS if anyone here wants to get creative :) I might post demo versions of the songs sometime next year, or maybe sometime This Month if we get enough done on at least one of em :)))
We've been mostly aiming these towards the RP itself but you're welcome to try and generalize these to the actual show! Like "Past" for example could be about the era of Octonauts when they used the FIRST Octopod. I dunno- Prompts are your oyster! I just think it would be neat <3
#octonauts#also the spoilers i put on some of those are just to mark what ones got written already#the emojis are so that people could react to say ''hey i wanna write this one''. we have an excellent system (its the most basic one)#hershel’s octonauts au#also if a fan-song already exists PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SEND IT TO ME I LOVE THAT KIND OF THING TO A FAULT#imagine there's a sudden wave of early 2010's angst level songs for octonauts. i need a song that's our equivalent to ''Die In A Fire''#the sheer COMEDY of it all would be enough to obliterate this fandom /hj

#good afternoon and welcome to comedy hour#but truly like DAMN HELLO OK and also a little#✨yay I get to lose my virginity again✨ (becasue if we are being practical that thing will open pealry gates and go where no man had gone#…before..#do not fear I will not stint my vocabulary when it comes to describing the sheer size difference between these two#or the way Julie Jean waddles afterwards like talking him all in up to her lungs is her part for the war effort#masters of the air#John Egan#acorn asks#mota asks#funnies#💌asks

When all three non-binary siblings have successfully acquired top surgery, the jokes just kind of make themselves.
#it’s fine if no one else finds this funny. I find it hilarious.#(this sibling was originally talking about bunk beds but also. also.)#I will never not find it funny that my parents just spawned a shitload of queer kids#just. all the queer kids. so many they/thems. an incredible wealth of gay.#I say all three. there actually at least five of us.#the sheer weight of my family going ‘fuck your binary actually’ is peak comedy
