Okay. This Looks Bad.

Either people need to learn how to tell the difference between an “I’m sorry” that takes direct responsibility and an “I’m sorry” that signifies sympathy, or I’m gonna start responding to unfortunate information with a solemn nod and a “Sympies,” because I am tired of receiving a “Why? It wasn’t your fault” every time I try to vocalize compassion.

I'm forwarding all of you my next therapy bill.

Can I propose the XKCD method instead?

I so vividly remember learning in English class that English people say “I’m sorry” to express sympathy only to watch hundreds of movie and tv scenes of characters responding with “it’s not your fault”. So clearly people do say it but for some reason not one person interprets it correctly.

Anybody else in their I have nothing to say era? Because

He Who Upsets Clint Shall Know The Wrath Of Bucky

Coulson-is-alive was one of the prompts from @bablefisk, and I swear I was going to do it properly, but then I doodled this. …It’s night here. I’m shitposting. That’s all I can say in my defense.

I’m pretty sure I’ll come back to the topic later, but right now this is the pinnacle of my skill, ~follow for moar quality art~ OTL

(Also throw in more prompts, let’s see what else my brain can churn out)

23yrs later, still hits the feels hard

I love them :3

also look, every single ancestor of both these horses survived to produce these two by - when faced with *any* possibility of danger - choosing the 'NOPE' option and running the fuck away. so who are these two to go against millions of years of successful evolution??

plus they have kind of bizarre eyesight so its not like they can tell its a rabbit from the horses's perspective a Thing(tm) just randomly invaded their perfectly safe path and then moved a little. id lose my shit too thanks

The Princess Bride (1987)

i was so excited to see a hummingbird hawk-moth inside the garden centre today that i bothered a stranger about it.

lucky for me he was an entomologist and just as hyped! 🥹 (unlucky for me, i couldn't wow him with my sick moth knowledge.)

he's fighting a beautiful buff lady. her shirt gets ripped and she's left in her slutty little tank top. "come on," you think. "why is the woman always wearing sexier things than her male counterparts." but fear not. now HE takes off his shirt and he's left in HIS slutty little tank top. equality. and then they kiss

I truly am obsessed with how Knives Out was like. Hello Daniel Craig, man who has spent the past two decades of his career being alternately beaten up and objectified playing an action hero with no personality. Would you like to please put on a shirt and an incomprehensible vaguely Texan accent and flex your character acting dark comedy muscles as well as your pecs for a while. And he's like BOY WOULD I and they made a work of art. Also love that they put Chris Evans in sweaters. Get your beefcakes then dress them nice make them soft and give them some bonkers character work to do it's what cinema needs more of

I love that several people have responded to this with "op I forgive you cause you're Scottish but that's not a Texan accent" which is fair thank you I appreciate it but no two people have agreed on what accent it is which is also Absolutely fair and hilarious as a reaction to this film

Cannot stress enough that I do not know what the fuck a foghorn leghorn is but literally a hundred people have said it to me so far so I'm assuming it's important to, like, Americans

The idea that Foghorn Leghorn,

The Rhode Island rooster from Looney Toons, is one of the Elder Gods of America, is honestly fascinating from a theological and folkloric viewpoint

Pardon me, but he is a LEGHORN, not a RIR. It’s in his NAME. Leghorns are an Italian breed. And yes, he is an elder god.

According to Foghorn's Tvtropes page:

Presumably, it's less that Foghorn Leghorn is a Rhode Island Rooster and more that he's a Rooster who lives in Rhode Island, possibly a Central Virginian Leghorn Rooster living in Rhode Island, though that implies a complicated and interesting life story that took him from Central Virginia all the way to Rhode Island

I would not rely on TV Tropes as an unbiased source. Wikipedia simple says his species is officially “rooster” and mentions a Leghorn being a breed of chicken. TV Tropes probably thinks the Cornflakes chicken is a RIR too.

I am potentially willing to concede he is a “barnyard mix” (cross between breeds) and his father, Harold Leghorn, was a leghorn and his unnamed mother was a RIR or other dark variety.

I love this site.

Sometimes it’s 1:30 am and you own chickens and you’re drinking whiskey in the bath tub and accuracy about iconic fictional chickens is the hill to die on, ok, and that’s why I love Tumblr.
