Pretty sure I'm aromantic and asexual though! I struggle with depression and being on the autism spectrum. Believes in intersectional feminism.

Every time Jim Sterling puts clips from “Pirates of the Dark Water” and “Skeleton Warriors”, I have to ask myself:

do people actually remember those shows? were they niche? 

idk I had bootleg vhs tapes with really bad dub and somehow I remember those two shows vividly

Anonymous asked:

what is the child annihilating zipline

in 2010, a camp counselor goon logged on to the somethingawful forums asking for help with the zipline he build from scratch, and with no engineering knowledge, that didn’t seem to be working right. when he tested it with a sandbag, it continued to gather speed during the entirety of the 143 foot drop (19 degree slope) until it slammed into the wooden platform at the bottom at a speed of 65mph, presumably creating a child paste that would have to be scraped off to be sent home. there were pictures.

groverhaus and the child-annihilating zipline are classics of post and we will never forget them

too bad the zipline isn’t as famous. the fucked-up bathroom has even gained more traction than the child-exploding summer camp zipline. there is no justice

i love this but DON’T denigrate the fucked up bathroom that’s a legend

fucked up bathroom?

this looks like a doom wad

The extremely good news is that someone DID make it into a doom wad

this is un fucking believable

I’m sorry, y’all are selling RIPline (The Machine to Kill Children) short, so I need to bring in YouTuber and generally amazing person Dan Olson in to sum this up for me

And some visual aides

Help urgently needed!!

*URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**

Wednesday, July 7th: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill disaster, who’s in desperate need of help, as I'm really struggling to keep my utilities on and due to charge-backs, my account is now overdrawn.

As most of you are already aware from my previous post, I have been struggling financially for quite some time due to my welfare benefit (Universal Credit) being under a review, which is due to my worsening mental health and the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And at the moment, I'm currently struggling to get by, as my application for PIP was declined and I am currently awaiting an appointment for a WCA (Work Capability Asessment) from the DWP to assess my health, and my debt from overdue bills is piling up.

I know this is a huge ask, and I'm completely heartbroken to be asking for help again, but I still desperately need some as I don't have anyone else to turn to and I don't receive my benefit until the end of the month.

If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling right now.

£83.99/£200!!

Please consider helping out if you possibly can, if anyone could spare anything at all to help, even if it’s just a £1/$1 or a reblog, it would mean so much to me.

hi bestie, i have a question 🕺 what would you recommend for someone who wants to start with black widow? <3

Avatar

HI MARCYYYY <333 i'll break this up into sections!!

let's start with the essentials:

  • black widow (1999) — natasha's first solo, yelena's first appearance
  • black widow (2004) — imo, one of her better runs during this time period, insight into her enhancements and past
  • ⭐️ black widow (2010): the name of the rose — if you read ANYTHING from this list, only one thing at all, let it be this. this is natasha's best solo, best writing, portrays her duality and relationships perfectly and is all around beautiful. i cant stress it enough
  • winter soldier (2012) — another really good run with stunning art! this is essentially for her and bucky's relationship but also it's really good in general. also important for context about their relationship moving forward
  • black widow (2016) — a very decent run with a good plot and really good art!

my personal faves! im a huge fan of her characterization in old comics but i understand that not everyone wants to read those:

  • tales of suspense (1959) #52-53 natasha's first appearance
  • daredevil (1964) #84-121 — i just love her characterization here and the way she balances being her own person and being matt's partner. a lot of fun imo
  • iron man (1968) #315-317 — good spy content, fun, my tonynat besties are in this
  • iron man (1998) #5-6, 9-11, 50 — same as above
  • daredevil (1998) #61-64, 77-80 — this is one of my fave arcs for natasha ever. her characterization here is so good and you get to see her take no shit attitude and also darewidow besties
  • black widow (2010): the name of the rose
  • iron man (2010) kiss & kill: MY BESTEST FRIENDS!!
  • winter soldier (2012)

other runs that exist that i either don't like or don't care about but you might be interested in:

  • black widow (2002) — more yelena but tbh this arc is like ..... so weird. like id read it but keep in mind its weird
  • black widow: pale little spider — yelena solo. skip. its horrible
  • black widow: the things they say about her — i actually like this run it has yelenat and a fun plot imo it just has no place in the other lists
  • black widow (2014) — fan fave but absolute snoozefest to me, idc for it its long and boring but it does have the infamous noto art. and also liho my bestie
  • tales of suspense (2017) — another fan fave but idrc for it bc it has a focus on clintbucky which is boring to me bc i wanted more nat and also idc for her clone story **
  • black widow (2019) — this one is ehh its like a typical spy nat that lacks a lot of depth but it has some pretty good quotes
  • the web of black widow — same as above, i feel like its pretty lacking but it has some of nat's most important relationships. feels a bit mcu-fusion tho
  • black widow (2020) — her current ongoing. skip. so bad. so awful

** you'll need context from secret empire to understand this, however i would not recommend secret empire its an absolutely godawful run

i kept this to mostly solos instead of team books and events but i think this about covers it but if you have any questions feel free to ask me and if you want to talk abt any of these im always down <33

today im thinking about the huge buff bread guy from kikis delivery service. highly underrated guy

Genuinely just a good man. Wife adopts teenage witch that needs a place to stay in the city? Sure. Even though you got a kid on the way? That’s fine. Cat too? Love cats.

My favorite moment with him is when he goes to get some prepped baking sheets and he does this fancy twirl with them in front of Jiji. Like, there’s no other people in the room, he does this to impress a cat.

I don’t think he ever says more than a whole word the entire movie, and I still love him more than most Disney princes based on this one moment alone.

And the part where he wanted to surprise Kiki by making that beautiful elaborate sign OUT OF BREAD to advertise her business and he was all anxious for her to get home and see it

But then when he sees her coming he gets all bashful and runs away 😭

He never elaborated on this and it kills me

If I remember correctly it eventually got out.

Apparently this was a rehearsal for the scene, so the extinguisher was a prop one (hence the moment Miranda sassy looks at the camera/crew for how he was acting her in panic), so they went on to it.

But someone had switched the extinguisher to the actual fire thrower that would be used on the scene (I dont remember if was proposital or not or simply a mistake because they were meant to be identical).

So this is their actual reaction, cause when he pressed the valve, he really wasnt expecting to fire come out, neither was Miranda, so their reaction is 100% genuine and they did freak out as on tape.

The thing went out so well they were unable to reenact their reactions or surprise as the first time on rehearsal, so the rehearsal scene was kept and put it into the actual episode.

Friendly reminder that if you shake hands with a guy you shouldn’t eat or touch your face until you’ve washed your hands.

this isnt some Feminist Joke, btw, they basically teach this in food safety since so many guys think its fine to not wash their hands after they’ve touched their dick

And, you DO deserve to live. If you ever need to vent to me, anon is always on and I will do my best to help. I’m always here for you. 💖
