“Perfection”

[ Version without text ]

companies need to chill tf out you buy from an underwear company one time and they're in your inbox every damn day that week like 'hey you know what would be GREAT for MEMORIAL DAY?????'

long time no see!

gay person: i wish this thing had more gay characters

straight person: then make your own thing lol

gay person: (makes a predominately queer thing with very few/no straight characters)

straight person: where are the straight characters? do you hate us?

i guess because queer media is so rarely mainstream that straight people (particularly straight men) never really dealt with the reality that very often a lot of queer works tend to have majority gay/trans characters.

getting mad about this is like walking into a papa john's and being pissed that they're not selling domino's pizzas

“me when i lie” is the funniest way to call someone a liar the internet has cooked up thus far

i know i went for the more obvious/Basic choices so please expound in the tags/replies!! if there's a story or reason to your choice, tell us more!!

i was always a triceratops fan. i think it had something to do with the land before time.

mad because my city state has more tributaries than yours does?

L + Ratio + Riceless + Your millet tributaries will leave your peasants malnourished + You will lose the mandate of heaven

rip to all the “fuckyeah___” blogs that carried our society at one point </3

downside: going to have to include a picture of the Giza pyramids in the slides for the lecture upside: i get to give people a crash course in why perspective matters in two frames, because

followed by

is such a funny sequence

i find most people who haven't seen it in person don't know that cairo is RIGHT THERE

The Gollum game is such an incredible throwback. Back in the PS2 era that type of buggy movie tie-in game was a dime a dozen & no one would've even noticed but by virtue of coming out in 2023, the last of its breed, it's a king, beheld with quiet horror by all. It crashes every five minutes even on the best hardware and when apologizing for its instability the devs misspelled their own game's name

"It looks like a PS2 game" is usually an inane insult and I guess it is if used for graphics here but in every other way? Yes, it's exactly like something that went right into the budget racks in 2004. It captures the weird frenzy of LotR releases during the trilogy so perfectly, it's like those ones that had the book license but not the movie one or one of the weirder spin-offs EA jammed out to exploit the license

I do not like the fact that we are drifting back towards a pearl-clutching anti-obscenity anti-vulgarity ‘everything depicted in fiction must be morally sound and uncomplicated’ state.

“who is we?” SOCIETY AT LARGE. MEDIA. This is not about your fucking fandom beef. We are re-entering a book burning Hays Code era and it is fucking terrifying.
