GET GRUFFALO'D, BITCH
If you haven't heard of Julia Donaldson, she's primarily a picture book author, who we can thank for extremely popular Halloween classic Room on the Broom as well as the Gruffalo.
Let this be a testament to the power of picture books.
I'm living for these jokes.
Also I need "GET GRUFFALO'D, BITCH" on a T-shirt.
sorry if this is controversial but if youโre rude to cashiers i think you should. idk. Explode
the lack of patience and overwhelming sense of entitlementโฆ.. Start pointing at fellow customers and loudly asking โwhy are you acting like that?โ letโs all hold hands and do this. together
chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands
"but the text never explicitly stated it!!!" hey, so that's actually what they tried to teach you in those english classes you barely passed ๐
โItโs not that deep!โ Yes! It is!
Oh hey, another dipshit went to The Island Where They Kill You.
This one's not a missionary, apparently (I know, I was surprised too) but apparently a "danger tourist" who was filming himself.
Frankly I think he should go to forever prison, because he could have killed them all by exposing them to diseases they have no immunity to. Which is WHY IT'S ILLEGAL TO GO THERE.
maybe iโm a joyless bitch but i actually do NOT think itโs funny to see women being like โthe house is just in my husbands nameโ or โmy husband makes all the moneyโ or โi donโt even know who our mortgage is withโ or โthe only bank account/credit card is his and i get an allowanceโ like i do NOT find that cute or romantic and i am begging these women to Stand Up. you should at least be named on the deed to your house and the title to your car and the bank accounts even if you donโt pay for them/earn all the money. you canโt stop existing in the eyes of the law and the credit unions simply because you have a husband. if youโre raising his children and washing his socks half of everything heโs got is yours and it needs to be yours LEGALLY BY NAME. "he takes such good care of me :)" girl you are a PRISONER!! thatโs all
"But my husband is a good man! He would never abuse/leave/cheat on me!"
Alright, let's give you the benefit of the doubt and say your husband is a perfect angel of a human being. He does take care of you, and he does it well. Your life is great, you get along, you have beautiful kids and a beautiful home.
What's going to happen to you if he stops being able to provide?
If his job lays him off or cuts his hours? If he becomes too disabled to work? If he goes to prison? If he dies suddenly?
What if you have to get a job to make sure you and your kids can still eat and have a home?
If you plan on seriously sharing your happily ever after with someone, you are going to have to pull your head out of the romantic fairy tale clouds and start planning for the worst case scenarios.
not doomed by the narrative but saved by the narrative. yeah i know you'd rather die than keep suffering but the story doesn't actually care what you want. you have to keep going, even when it hurts. even being erased from existence won't stop you from being salvaged from the wreckage of un-being. get up. keep pushing. keep bleeding. keep living.
like the return of the r slur and horrible fatphobia and gay jokes and the misogyny oh my fucking god can we talk about the misogyny. we have culturally regressed to the eary 2010s but when you try to call people out theyโre liek ohhh itโs just a joke ๐. iโm sorry but i donโt want to hear jokes about pedophilia or about rape or about racism that is not funny and it never will be. everything is ironic and if you get offended itโs cuz youโre a crazy femnazi who cares too much. because itโs apparently uncool to take anything serious or do anything with actual sincerity anymore
i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom
as well as the three laws of fandom:
Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship
๐ฃ Purity culture kills fandom! ๐ฃ
NO ONE LIVING hasn't been squicked out by something. There's over 7 billion of us, my delights and disgusts aren't universal. So I move on. Don't like the ship? Move on. Don't like____? Move on.
I am not an exception. Neither are you. I don't like it I move on and shut my gob about it because everyone everywhere is squicked out by something and they need to put the thing down and justโฆmotor.

Frames this entire post and hangs it over the fireplace.
After returning to northern Gaza, we have no home, no water, no electricity, and the transportation is difficult. Life is hard, and we are facing many challenges like these.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported and contributed to me and my family during this time.
My friends remember every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant difference and holds great value in helping us to improve our lives during these challenging times.
Vetted ! ! !

Making the whole theme of the DMC Netflix show that "demons are actually the victims of jingoistic American military imperialism" is such a fundamental antithesis of the entire beating heart of the Devil May Cry franchise. Honestly it's exactly what I expected from a cynical western production.
The Devil May Cry series is about how humanity is superior because humanity is capable of love. Demons may have power and strength which allows them to assert their will over the world and cause suffering. But humanity will always overcome, humanity is capable of more than demons ever will be. Because devils never cry. Only humanity has the capacity for love that allows them to feel sorrow at the loss of their loved ones. Only humanity has the drive to self sacrifice in the name of protecting those we cherish and value.
The reason Dante and Nero are the badasses that they are is because of their human genetics, not their demonic blood. Vergil loses because he tried rejecting his humanity and just embracing his demonic lineage in the name of striving for more power. Vergil loses his soul and is enslaved and humiliated because he pushes his only remaining family away, he forgot that the very reason he became obsessed with power is because he wanted to be able to protect Dante the way he couldn't on the day they lost their home. And Vergil is only redeemed when he is reclaimed by his son, and has familial love forced onto him whether he wanted it or not. The theme song of DMC5 is called LEGACY for a reason, because the ties that bind for better and for worse will always be a part of you. And it is the characters HUMANITY that makes that the case.
Family and love is the FOUNDATIONAL theme of the Devil May Cry series from the very beginning. This isn't even very depthful literary analysis, the games are incredibly blunt with these themes.
This is incredibly surface level reading. And yet somehow the creators of the Netflix show either didn't get it, or deliberately disregarded it. Either way, god awful show. If you enjoy it, you CANNOT say that you also enjoy the video games. They are mutually exclusive. What exactly do you like about the games, if you derive ANY enjoyment whatsoever from this show that uses the source material as toilet paper?
At least have the integrity to admit you just think the video games are stupid and the show is superior because it isn't a video game. At least then I could respect that. Don't try and pull this "I enjoy both" bullshit. Bullshit as in you're fucking lying.
