woman character: you don't get it... I am a monster.
guy character: why do you say that? what... what have you done?
me, desperately: please say you killed or tortured someone. say you did morally questionable things. say you drank all the milk but put the carton back in the fridge so your roomate would buy more. anything. just, please, don't say it's because you can't-
woman character, tearfully: I... I can't have children!
me:
Bad: Human/monster romance where the monster turns into a human at the end.
Better: Human/monster romance where the human turns into a monster at the end.
Best: Human/monster romance where nobody turns into anything at the end, yet it’s made 100% clear that yes, these two are fucking, leaving the audience with several pressing questions.
1) beauty and the beast
2) shrek
3) venom
You think this is a joke? A JOKE? No, this is The native Finnish God of Love, Lempo. Demonic and monstrous, and capable of possessing people, driving them insane with love. Call him in with a right love spell and he’s more than happy to help you.
Bread and fire too? Hot damn
Finally, a love deity for monster fuckers.
I cant do this anymore
My favorites from the replies
One of the only thing the 2000s had going for it was the mythbusters. Those dudes ruled, nobody hated the mythbusters, I mean they hated each other but nobody else hated the mythbusters
An entire generation of scientists, engineers, and psychos with access to amphetamines owe so much to them
Sorry prev, but your tags were good and I felt like everyone should get to read them
[Image ID: Tumblr tags reading: #sorry to be that guy whos so unhealthily obsessed with the mythbusters that i must correct minute inaccuracies #but none of them hated each other. adam and jamie said on many occasions that they respected each other #they just thought of each other as coworkers not friends. they had been coworkers before the show. like they chose to do this together #that just didnt entail friendship for them. they frustrated each other a lot but thats like how working w someone goes #they still see each other and talk sometimes. they even frequently promote each others work #mythbusters /End ID]

Im somewhat confused but yeah I agree
This feels like a rap that never starts, like a car engine that’s about to start but never does
That’s not a criticism btw
Shuvuuia, a dinosaur typically most active at night, is fooled into getting up early by a total solar eclipse.
thought you guys might appreciate this statue of Satan that lives in a place on the island called Devil’s Hole
i see posts here about how people are so mortified when they are acknowledged as being a regular customer somewhere that they never return. cowards. the employees at taco bell treat me like a celebrity. like royalty. i am their strange little pet customer who gets traded along as staff comes and goes. they know my car before i even speak in the drive-thru speaker. today i was 2 hours late and she ran over and squealed that she "thought i'd left them!" and that she "made my order with extra love!" and you what, she did
it's funny that this is getting notes again, because last night i went to the thai place in my neighborhood. it's run by a family and during covid times i ate there literally almost every day. later i cut back on eating out so much and hadn't been there in two years but last night we went and ate inside for the first time ever and the owner ran over to say hello and ask how i was, and repeated our old regular order. it was sweet. it's so easy to feel like you are an island, but stuff like this reminds you that you are part of a community.

While we wait for a second printing of my book, here's a new comic l've been working on in between other projects that I finally finished. This is actually my longest comic ever, at just under 40 pages. 😵💫 I'll be sharing more parts of it this week but of course you can read the whole thing early for just a buck! Here!
Here's part 2! Part 3 coming tomorrow but you can read the whole thing early here!
Yoooo he just changed the game
Oh, this is really neat, this is the same thing they did in Sh! The Octopus in 1937 to do this transformation scene. In black & white, the color of your light can hide makeup, then all you have to do is flip the color, and the audience just sees the difference in the light levels, but cannot see the color shift. The quick explanation for why this works is the blue makeup absorbs red light, looking very dark when only red light is present, but also looks about the same as relatively fair skin when only blue light is present. Same goes for the colors the other way.
Ahh, I think that they had this in one of the early Jekyll and Hyde adaptations as well. :)
Twilight Zone used this trick too, in The Howling Man, where this guy morphs into the Devil.
And again in Long Live Walter Jameson, where this guy loses his artificial youth
I think the first time it was used was Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in 1931.
God, I love practical effects
Will it hit 2 million notes today?
