I Won't Hurt You

aquarium advertisments say stuiff like discover the longtooth grouper this friday

I see that, and raise you my local aquarium's advertising.

Vancouver Aquarium has similar ads!

They also have some SERIOUSLY inventive ones:

(High and Low Tide ^)

the only type of advertising that should exist: "ooooohhhh you want to come look at the animal"

You guys have seen NEAQ's tentacles adverts, right?

I love when household beasts are like whoa. You were gonna piss all on your own? No backup or companionship or anything? Babe. I got you. I'm right here. You don't have to be alone during this difficult time (pissing), and you won't be. Ever. This is not a discussion.

Came into work ready to do some rigging. Had a guest unexpectedly early and then a second and now it’s two hours into my ten hour day and my silverware drawer is looking… pretty empty.

*sits with loading sign over head for 30 seconds* OH YOU MEAN YOUR SHORT OF SPOONS

Brain took "guest" and "missing silverware" and went "who actually sacksville-bagginses these days"

Yeah like. Customers. Spoons. I’m just being obtuse for fun, sorry for everyone who thought I was being robbed.

My thought sequence was: oh a shibari thing, thats really cool....wait, guest?... silverware?? ... Oh its just food service

It’s. It’s not food service. It’s just spoon theory. I sell mattresses and I’m out of spoons and rigging is for 3D models not ship sails or ropes of any kind.

What I'm doing:

What everyone thinks I'm doing:

Tying people up

Rigging a ship

Getting robbed by this lady

Know your history friends

For those who don’t know

So, funny story

Back when I was a teen, figuring my shit out, I saw folks wearing the bandanas and just… liked the aesthetic? Uncomprehendingly? Thought it was a neat look.

Anyway I start wearing these things and in retrospect that was when I started making a bunch of friends who were Theater Kids and D&D nerds.

(that game used to have… connotations. At least in my community. I really got a good chuckle out of it becoming such a normalized thing. Anyway)

I had an assortment of colors! I wore it every day! For 2 years! Before a Queer Elder pulled me aside and was like “do you even know what you’re doing?” I cannot imagine the look on my face.

In retrospect it explains a lot. I’ve always had a weirdly high percentage of queer friends, and it puzzled me back then, but flying the fucking flags myself the whole damn time probably had a bit to do with it.

Turned out I was Queer, in the end. Just not the variety I was advertising. I can only imagine the confusion I caused. Oops.

new ebbits! new site!

this is probably my favourite comic of all time jsyk

can someone explain this to me?

Sure thing! For convenience I’ll refer to the guy with his arms in his pockets as SG (shorter guy) and the one on the computer as TG (taller guy).

In the first panel, SG sees TG playing on the computer and is disappointed. SG puts a lot of value in the idea of “making things,” specifically “art,” and thinks TG is just wasting their time

So he asks them if they wouldn’t rather be “making something” instead of just playing games and listening to music, implying that TG isn’t doing anything worthwhile or creative with their time

But TG replies that “interpreting is generative,” meaning that even if they spend their time just doing fun stuff, the mere act of enjoying something is creating an experience and an interpretation. Talking about something, dancing to music or sharing a piece of art with your friends IS “making something,” and each of those can be worthwhile and artistic.

SG leaves, complaining he “can’t be an auteur of [interpretation].” Auteur is a movie term that refers to a filmmaker with artistic control and vision enough to be considered essentially the singular creator of the resulting work of art. Turns out, SG doesn’t just want to “make things,” he wants to make things he and others see as “important.” He wants to make art not for the sake of art, but for the sake of being recognized and praised for his art.

This comic really speaks to elitism within the artistic community, the idea that art needs to meet certain standards to be considered art. SG’s viewpoint is really traditionalist, that art need to be “approved” and validated in order to be considered “really art;” while TG recognizes that art can be as little as just talking about what you love.

TLDR: Art is for everyone, not just some sort of social “artistic elite.”

ooh i love the explanation

Rebloging for that in depth and not even a little snarky explanation. 10/10

Every single note and comment is comedy gold and I'm wheezing from laughing so hard

Congratulations lagiacrus fans!!!!

so we have one of two options regarding how they'll handle gay people in Tomodachi Life 2/Living the Dream (operating under the assumption they ARE in fact going to keep their promise and have gay people in this game):

option 1. toggleable switch. you can choose if your Mii is gay or not. simple, but effective. homophobes are going to complain about it but they're inevitably going to complain regardless of how they handle gay people so

option 2. the funnier option, and honestly the one I think they're going to go with just based on the track record of the Mii games (specifically Miitopia) - there is no toggle. everyone is bisexual. you can and Will have a random Mii on your island suddenly turn out to be gay and there's nothing you can do about it

ok but give me one good reason why you wouldn’t date Kermit the frog besides that he is a puppet and a frog

“miss piggy would make it look like an accident”

This keeps going past on my dash and I can’t let it go any longer. It’s time to see the record straight.

Miss Piggy doesn’t have a subtle bone in her floppy felt body. There is no possible way she could ever make it look like an accident.

Miss Piggy would make you into an example.
