Love how the kid accepts death but is so shocked to learn that everybody else also will die

here are some extra ones that made me break out in tears enjoy

It's still kinda wild how Phineas and Ferb managed to completely hijack an idiom. Now whenever someone hears a sentence leading with "If I had a nickel for everytime [...]", odds are their brain auto fills with "I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice," rather than "I'd be rich," or "I could [action that requires purchasing something requiring an obscene amount of money]". Y'know, what the idiom originally was

the thing is, the phineas and ferb version is just so much funnier and more actually applicable

original idiom is "anything that happens a lot"

p&f version is "weirdly specific thing that happens more times than would really make sense"

I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip

Using a random fic of mine as example..

The left example: ✅✅✅

The right example: ❌❌❌

Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!

If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…

This is a good thing to keep in mind! It is often and unfortunate that a really good fic doesn’t get love because its formatting makes it too difficult to read!

I don’t care whether you like rooster teeth or not the idea of deleting 21 years of media should be incredibly concerning

say what you will about rooster teeth and its business practices, but it is genuinely heinous that warner bros can just wipe something of such significance to youtube, the entertainment industry, and the internet as a whole completely off the map because they didnt "make enough of a profit"

The RoosterTeeth site will be deleted May 15th 😔 do yourselves a favor and start archiving EVERYTHING you can now. RageQuit, RvB, X-Ray & Vav, the Minecraft Let's Plays, RWBY, etc. RT is warning us as nicely as they can that there's a p good chance we won't be able to access ANYTHING by next year, including the YouTube channel. Download!

May as well make this a public response instead of just a reply. There is an archive already in the works and people have captured pretty much everything that has ever been released by RT. The focus was first on pure content gathering, now they’re shifting to how to preserve it somewhere for people to access for posterity.

Currently, that’s here: https://archiveofpimps.com

Not everything has been uploaded yet, I just confirmed on the discord that it’s coming along and everything should be accessible asap.

Don’t fret; no need to worry. There’s nothing we can do about Warner Brothers, but the content that is already produced should be safe. Gather your own favorites (I did for me!) but regardless it should be all safe and accessible very soon. ❤️

By the way, if any of you, like me, are nerds who love maps, I highly recommend checking out the Turgot map. I won't link it or tumblr will eat this post, but you can find it just by searching Wikipedia - it's an incredibly detailed 3D map of Paris made in the 1730s, and by "incredibly detailed," I mean

incredibly

INCREDIBLY

DETAILED!

Look, there's Notre Dame! Individual trees! Individual lampposts! Individual boats!! (Some of them even have little people in lol, though clearly not to scale)

The full scan is over 35,000 pixels wide, guys! That's over 10 feet of map!! All drawn and engraved by hand! I'm freaking out a little! What an absolutely amazing piece of history & art!
