Fellas, is it gay...?

That time when the outlaw who acts like an asshole isn’t an actual asshole but an overgrown puppy. Also totally a bottom.

Sitting here thinking about how Disney's weird censorship somehow ended up making Gravity Falls funnier.

Stan drinks soda instead of beer, yet he has a beer gut.

The censors demanded that Stan's "Blind the child" line be changed to something else in the pool episode, which is how we ended up with "Burn the child."

And of course, the all time classic.

gotta say, theres something really weird about how online queer spaces pretend that intersex people dont exist. even american queer rights orgs seem to ignore us. and then i see kiwi sites on queer communities and theres comparatively a lot of intersex stuff. i go to a local nurses office and intersex people are included in a pamphlet on representation in books. every queer rights org has a link to to sites for intersex rights. am i crazy or is america falling behind? its quite... concerning

taash said "they were doing it" and people ran with the interpretation of an npc that doesn't know solas or the history of the elvhenan even when bellara interjected and said, no, that's not right. that's not how it was for the elvhenan. they formed bonds before they had physical bodies. and people ran to doompost or create weird anti-solavellan shit even though mythal & solas refer to each other as old friends and when she releases him there is no tenderness or love in it. it is the act of unchaining a dog from his post, the stepping down of a general. but to each their own ig.

There's absolutely no way people are now saying that all the gege-hate train is just an internal joke of the fandom. There's no way you're this out of touch with what has been happening.

I've been in the fandom since 2020 and it doesn't take a lot of smarts to see there's been a change in tone in the way some people say that in the last year. Since this new arc of history began, destructive criticism, massive hate and threats have overflowed into hundreds of profiles. It's no longer "oh, I hate Gege akutami" now and for a while now it's "I hate Gege akutami - his manga is horrible I'm gonna drop it (they never do) - he doesn't deserve popularity - he doesn't know how to write - he pretends to have an illness."

And yet, it's not normal to make jokes about wanting to kill someone, hon. Go check yourself if you find that funny, you're no better than let's-joke-about-sensitive-issues reddit incels

Petronius Maximus --- The dipshit Roman emperor who caused the sack of Rome because he was an arrogant dipshit.

Petronius Maximus was a wealthy Roman politician born in 397 AD to old Roman money. Like many wealthy Romans he went into politics and throughout the early 5th century climbed the ranks of Roman government until he became one of the most powerful men in the Western Roman Empire. He was crafty and he was ambitious. He was also a dipshit and an asshole.

By the 450's P. Maximus had a clear plan, to create a power vacuum in Rome that he could cunningly fill. He began by turning the emperor at the time, Valentinian III, against his magister militum Flavius Aetius. As magister militum Aetius was commander of the Roman Army, and had proven himself a master tactician and brilliant diplomat. Through military victories and diplomacy Aetius was barely holding a crumbling empire together. Maximus convinced Valentinian III that Aetius was looking to usurp his throne. Thus in 454 Valentinian summoned Aetius to his palace and personally murdered him with his sword. Maximus had organized the death of the most talented Roman official in the empire, which in the grand scheme of things was probably a big mistake. With Aetius dead, Maximus expected he would take Aetius' place as magister militum. However Valentinian refused to appoint him as magister militum. Thus in 455 AD, Maximus had him assassinated, hiring two of Aetius' bodyguards to do the deed as revenge.

Several powerful Romans claimed the Imperial throne but Maximus managed to beat them all to the punch by taking over the Imperial Palace and immediately marrying Valentinian's widow, Licinia Eudoxia. Licinia didn't know Maximus had murdered her husband at the time but had suspicions. He also forced her daughters, Placidia and Eudocia to marry his sons. Through deceit and murder Maximus had managed to weasel his way into the Roman Imperial family and was now creating his own Imperial dynasty. Thus Petronius Maximus had become Emperor Dipshit, ruler of the shiny turd of what was left of the Western Roman Empire.

Problem was, when Emperor Dipshit married off Placidia and Eudocia to his sons, he canceled Eudocia's arranged marriage to Hunneric, who was the son of Geiseric, king of the Vandals. The Vandals were a Germanic tribe that had set up a prosperous kingdom in the former Roman province of North Africa, and were constantly raiding the Italian coast. Valentinian had arranged the marriage of Eudocia as a peace offering to Geiseric. Geiseric had received a letter from Eudoxia informing him that Maximus had killed her husband and was canceling the marriage of Eudocia. Geiseric was enraged at Empror Dipshit for canceling the marriage, and sent a Vandal fleet and army to Rome in response. "No problem" said Emperor Dipshit, "we got the Roman Army".

Except there was no Roman Army. Not really. After the death of Aetius the remains of the standing full time professional army had collapsed almost completely. Even Aetius was very dependent on mercenaries and allies. Nobody wanted to enlist in the Roman Army in the 5th century, with Romans going so far as to cut off their own fingers to avoid conscription. The Roman economy was a mess, the Imperial bureaucracy was riddled with corruption, the life of the average Roman was miserable, and by the 5th century most Roman emperors were snobbish, over-privileged, incompetent out of touch dipshits. The empire was dying and everybody knew it. Few believed it was worth saving, and nobody wanted to die for a dipshit emperor such as Emperor Dipshit. By 455 AD what was left of the Roman Army consisted of militia units called "limitanei" who acted as border patrolmen far away from Rome. For more complex military operations the Romans were fully dependent on mercenaries and allies. Emperor Dipshit attempted to enlist the help of the Visigoths, but they were like, "LMFAO nooo, you made your bed now lie in it!" I speculate they knew Maximus was a dipshit who was probably gonna get them all killed.

Emperor Dipshit knew it was a hopeless situation, so he made an announcement to the Roman people to flee and save themselves, then he too turned tail and fled. He was spotted by a large group of Roman refugees, who formed a mob and beat him to death. Good riddance. Emperor Dipshit's glorious reign lasted 77 days.

As far as sackings go the sack of Rome in 455 AD wasn't too bad. The Vandals were Christians, so the Pope was able to convince them not to do the more horrible things like rape and murder civilians, or burn down the city. So for the most part the Vandals refrained from bloodshed and arson. However they did take as many Romans into slavery as they could fit on their ships, and they also looted the city of almost everything of value. Even the bronze tiles on the roof of the Temple of Jupiter were pried off and carted away. Also Geiseric carted off Eudocia and married her off to his son Huneric.

The Vandal's sack of Rome in 455 is where we get the term "vandalism" today. Also did I mention that Petronius Maximus was a dipshit?

Oooh! 🤩 How would Niccolo and Gryffin moving to Lonesome Flats affect the events of Trolls World Tour?

The performance of the most important songs in all of music were suddenly interrupted by two darts shooting off Poppy and Branch's sunglasses. The two trolls are shocked-surprised, then their attention is brought to the sheriff's deputy holstering his gun with flare.

(more details under the cut)

Niccolo is Delta Dawns deputy sheriff, he's also a sharp shooter tho obviously his gun doesn't shoot bullets. His gun is a play on nerf guns and pellet guns, so he can fire darts with one, and interchangeable "pellets" with the other (he uses any small object that fits in the chamber, like seeds or perhaps gumdrops :] ). He also has one that's one of those trick comedy guns, the ones that usually just shoot out a flag that says bang! His has the flag and a flower that he can swap out.

As for his role in world tour I think he'd be the one to release Poppy and Co from the jail cell instead of Hickory, or he goes to speak with them and is there when Hickory frees them. He decides to tag along because he feels a responsibility to try and stop the rock apocalypse as a half rock troll. Delta is not a fan of his betrayal but allows him to leave. (This would circumvent the chase scene with them leaving in a hurry either to beat Barb to Vibe City, or because they notice Barb arriving)

It could also be that he joins and during the chase scene is when he shout explains his plan to Delta.

Either way he's on the trip.

If the fall from the cliff scene happens, he uses his wings to slow his and one other person's descent, most likely Poppy or Branch. He agrees with Branch when it comes to mistrusting Hickory. Branch would be only slightly less wary of Niccolo due to his earnestness with his heritage and believing in him when he says something off with Hickory. Niccolo did grow up in Lonesome Flats after all, he knows everyone there, so some random country troll he doesn't recognize showing up out of nowhere is a red flag for him.

During the raft segment, idk fully, I thought itd be funny for him and Hickory to have some kind of rivalry, one upping each other. Hickory builds the raft, so Niccolo is the one to kick Chaz off the boat by shooting his clarinet with gumdrops which clog up the tone holes on impact. It could still be Hickory kicking him that gets him fully away, idk, or Chaz just leaves cuz his instrument is ruined. But that would lead to Niccolo marking up the tally 1 to 1 on who is the most reliable "country" troll.

The Vibe City encounter also goes pretty much the same as the movie, when the bubbles descend everyone freaks out, Niccolo trying to shoot the bubbles and failing. Like Poppy he'd be one of the trolls not tossed around but his is thanks to his wings.

When Rock attacks Niccolo is in a bubble with Hickory but isn't there when Poppy and Hickory meet up later, Hickory having knocked him out before searching for Poppy. Which then leads to Niccolo showing up later when Barb is about to leave with Poppy, allowing him to sneak onto their critters so he can be there at the concert.

At the concert he does initially search for Poppy but gets distracted when he sees his dad in the audience, having been kidnapped with the rest of the country trolls and put into the rock section. So Niccolo has to make a choice between trying to help Poppy or being with his father. He chooses to go be with his father, apologizing for just up and abandoning him in Lonesome Flats.

The rest plays out like in the movie, Niccolo getting a shout out for being not just one genre which probably would've been a thing Poppy pointed out to King Quincy and Queen Essence when trying to be like "We're all the same!!" But they're not.

And I think he'd sing along through Delta's part in Just Sing with his dad.

Anyway those are just my thoughts since receiving this ask which was like a day or two ago lol so it's a bit messy.

I just know that Niccolo gets to have a gun and dress up like if Clint Eastwood and Oliver Peck had a baby
