This is what years without new content does to a fandom

i think she would like that

its so funny how convinced matthew is that the traitors are gonna bring him in as their third

im just patiently waiting for the moment they decide to kill him, and he sees the letter and fully thinks its a recruitment just cause of how funny itll be lol

one of my favorite little details about Fabian is that he openly enjoyed Ruben’s music. There’s always at least one person in the queer audhd alternative friend group who seems normie as hell and in the case of Fabian, he loves pop punk and emo music but the fashion just doesn’t fit his aesthetic and personal style.

I want to complain about something I care about right now.

I love competitive games. I love being able to play a game and through skill and knowledge improve at that game. No leveling system, no easy mode, no crutches. Thats the type of game I love. I don’t think Marvel Rivals is that type of game and I think Deadpool is the perfect example of why it’s disappointing to both me and other people like me.

The best way to explain this easily is ‘Deadpool has an enjoyable game but everyone else suffers’. He’s a super bloated character on his own, if he was just a DPS it would still be a problem but he isn’t he’s everything and inescapable. He can Dive, poke, and brawl all in one character. his ult is on a 30 SECOND COOLDOWN!!! That’s less time than Wolverines passive. He has random bursts of I frames. He’s a jack of all trades but a master of fucking everything, that’s not even including that you can choose him for every role. He’s causes visual clutter, he punishes you when you miss, he has insane mobility that makes him hard to lock down. And the worst part: unless you and the enemy team agree to work together you can only ban two versions of him.

I know that there are going to be people that will go “That’s the character fantasy: to be annoying and a problem” FUCK YOU! GENUINELY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FUCK YOU! This game is a multiplayer experience do you really think people want to play against a character whose whole deal is annoying you. Do you really think people will want to play as a character like Rocket, The Thing, or Magneto who all have very limited abilities and play styles while someone else on their team is playing Deadpool has 12 different play styles that are all S-tier.

Fun Fact: Jean Shepherd, best known for the 1983 holiday classic, A Christmas Story, had an earlier career as a late-night talk radio host where he told stories, talked about current events, and occasionally invited his listeners to help him play harmless pranks on "the day people."

His most famous hoax was born of being fed up with arbitrary "lists" which determined the existence and approval level of media pieces, particularly the NY Times Bestseller List. In 1956, he asked his listeners to go into their local bookstore and ask for a non-existent book called "I, Libertine" by Frederick R. Ewing.

It went 1950s viral. So many of his listeners asked after the book, published alleged excerpts, discussed it in literary circles, and planted references to it so widely that people actually believed it existed. There were even rumors that somebody tried to get it on the NY Times Bestseller List based on word-of-mouth demand.

Plot Twist: SOMEBODY WROTE THE BOOK. Based on Shepherd's basic plot outline and a compilation of the various bits and bobs provided by the public, contemporary author Theodore Sturgeon wrote a full-length novel version of "I, Libertine" and published it under the previously-established pseudonym Frederick R. Ewing.

All this to say, I think Goncharov should be nominated for an Oscar.

the terror season 1 ep 3

what they don't tell you about hadestown is that orpheus and eurydice are not the main characters. neither are persephone and hades. or hermes. or the fates. the main character is whoever in the band is playing the trombone because holy fuck

I think I’m falling behind in pop culture can we stop writing books and making movies until I catch up. something crazy is about to happen to gilgamesh

I've only seen Hadestown once. It was in a high school theater, put on by a relatively new youth theater collective. Nothing terribly special, but there's one thing I'll remember forever.

The Fates, in myth, weave threads of life. This performance gave the fates a red string. In Doubt Comes In, the moment Orpheus turned around, they cut the string and used the two halves to pull Eurydice back to Hades and to hold Orpheus back from going to her. And, more than that, Orpheus didn't sing her name. He screamed it.

That moment, that Orpheus screaming and lunging after Eurydice despite being literally held back by fate, is something I'm never going to forget.

i’m so glad goncharov happened pre ai slop era

Possibly the greatest NPR exchange ever recorded
