i just noticed something,,,,,

when muriel went in his room to change into his masquerade outfit his hair was normal, and when he came out it was tied up. this not only means that he braided it himself, but also that he added the cute ribbon on his own. thank you for coming to my ted talk

Ok. Real talk though. There is one other character who wears a ribbon in their hair... Who probably inspired Muriel to do this....

OH NO MY HEART

when i was younger i had a really bad fear of danny devito when i was going to sleep so my older brother gave me a watch that he set to like 8 hours ahead so that it was always daytime on the watch when i was asleep and he told me it would confuse danny devito and he would think it was daytime and get scared of the sun and leave me alon

Your brother is the best

Who the fuck changed this from vampires to Danny devito

the real question is why I was completely ready to accept that this person had a debilitating childhood fear of Danny Devito

I really just do not understand the ultra-rich.

Like, the Flint water crisis, right? I just read an estimate that it would take $55 million to bring clean water back to Flint. That sounds like a lot of money until you consider that’s less than a tenth of a billion dollars. Jeff Bezos is worth $118 billion. For less than .05% of his net worth, Jeff Bezos could bring water back to an entire town. At the most money I have ever had in my bank account, .05% of it could buy me like a burger. And not even a particularly nice one.

And let’s say, yeah, the ultra-rich are soulless monsters devoid of empathy or altruism. For .05% of his net wealth, Jeff Bezos could completely turn his public image around. Instead of being the asshole who exploits his workers, suddenly he’s the unlikely hero who saved an entire town.

Liquidity is a concept.

As is the slippery slope.

Bezos doesn’t have 55 million dollars in cash sitting in a vault somewhere so he can swim in it like Scrooge McDuck. His ‘net worth’ is all on paper. The VAST majority of it is in stock in his companies and/or real estate. He has to retain that stock to retain his control of his companies, and frankly, Bezos selling millions of dollars of his stock to generate a bit of liquidity would cause a devaluation of his stock that might screw up his companies for months. As a matter of fact, people have been complaining that Bezos doesn’t pay a huge amount of taxes. He doesn’t have to because he keeps pumping virtually every cent his companies make back into expansion of his companies. Amazon grew so big so fast because he never took major profits out of the revenue. He just pumped it back into more warehouses and more technologies and more R&D and more subsidiaries.

Selling real estate is a science, if you don’t want to lose your shirt. You have to calculate the market value and carefully pick the time you put properties on the market.

A better question is why aren’t the politicians running Flint handling the problem better? They created this mess.

Aging lead pipes exist in every large city in the US. The method of dealing with that is to add corrosion inhibitors to the water to prevent lead leaching into potable water from the pipes the water is running through.

The Flint water crisis was started when one jackass city worker decided the city didn’t need the water treated because it was coming from a river instead of from Detroit. Corrosion inhibitors were not used for an extended period and lead pipes corroded and leached lead into the water supply. The water is once again being treated with corrosion inhibitors and lead testing indicates the water is at an acceptable level of lead contamination again.

The 55 million dollars is for replacement of miles of piping, which has been paid for, is underway, and simply cannot be done all at once or in a big hurry. It is scheduled to be finished some time in 2020.

Mind you, any big city in the US that has been around for more than eighty years has lead water pipes or water pipes that were made with lead. Most cities just treat the water with corrosion inhibitors and keep an eye on it and replace the pipes as they have the budget or as they fail. Flint just was run by vastly incompetent city workers who took shortcuts.

As to the slippery slope, when do you stop deciding how other people should spend their money? I have money set aside for my retirement. There is undoubtedly a family in Alabama that could use a few bucks. Should I go on welfare when I retire so I can give a few handouts to people who already have multiple systems for support in place? How many Amazon employees should be laid off or not be given raises or not be hired at new locations so you can commandeer a bit of Bezos’s money for a problem already being solved?

Seriously all of this. From pointing out that just because a person has a high net worth doesn’t mean they’re literally just bathing in physical cash all the time to pointing out that GROSS GOVERMENTAL INCOMPETENCE led to the water crisis in the first place.

And that part about how just because someone has a lot of money doesn’t mean you’re entitled to it is good too.

but moistly screaming “GIMME DAT” is so much more satisfying and fun!

The world’s tiniest dragon must defend his hoard, a single gold coin, from those who would steal it.

Suggestion: The dragon’s definition of “steal” is somewhat loose. It still allows the coin to be used and bartered and change hands–but on one condition: the dragon must be with it at all times.

They become a familiar sight in the marketplace.

“Here’s your change, ma'am. One gold piece.” The merchant holds out a palm, on top of which rests a tiny, brilliantly colored creature clutching a single gold coin.

“That’s a dragon,” you say dumbly. “One piece… and a dragon.”

“Yes.”

You cautiously reach out and attempt to take your change. You tug. It holds. You tug harder. The dragon lets loose a tiny, protective growl.

“Ma'am–no, ma'am, you have to take the dragon, too.”

“Sorry?”

The seller notes your dubious expression. “Not from around here, are ya?” They shrug. “Them’s the rules. Take the coin, take the dragon.”

They wait expectantly. Wondering how the world has so suddenly gone mad, you slowly, slowly hold out your hand.

The dragon perks right up. It scampers from their palm to yours with the coin clamped in its jaws and scales your sleeve with sharp little claws.

“Have a nice day, ma'am,” the merchant says. “Spend him soon, now, you hear? At another booth, if you can. He likes to travel.”

From its perch upon your shoulder, the dragon lets out a happy trill.

Bonus: the coin eventually passes to the rogue in a group of travelling adventurers. The dragon becomes the mascot of the entire group, and they lay out a small pile of coins for him to sleep on every night, clutching his coin like a teddy bear.

This is so pure I am in love

Where is the fanart? I need a fanart.

I need this on a shirt

Let me see what I can do

Can the dragon say ‘i am fire, i am destruction’?
