If I'm honest I feel like a not insignificant portion of hating on homestuck by people who never read it is thinly veiled fomo. There's plenty of valid reasons to dislike homestuck but I really get the sense that a lot of people are kind of just coping and seething because they missed the boat on some truly enjoyable collective hysteria

crossfaded off a bowl of rice and an egg

yall can NOT be doing "wait, remember ___????" on shit that JUST came out

Babe i'm so fucking sorry but

Over the Garden Wall is almost a Whole Ass Decade old

2014 was like 6 months ago

human connection

a lot of the popular "queerbait" ships are just "these two characters are friends / they stood close together once" but every once in a while i'll stumble into an unfamiliar ship tag and see shit like "in episode 169 Scrungko gives Blorbis multiple prostate orgasms with an anal vibrator while pretending to date him" and like. idk what the hell is going on there. but if it's not queerbait then they just invented something even more insane. maybe y'all are right sometimes.

awhile ago a coworker and i were play arguing whether or not the mystery gang were all romantically a thing/polycule or just really good friends (yknow bored at work things) and knowing my bfs interest in scooby doo i texted him asking him to be the tie breaker and he responded “well it depends which canon youre going off of” and just instantly cold sweat knew i was out of my depth

how to look at art / lynda barry

@reggieonline

[image description: a close-up of two people's matching upper arm tattoos. the tattoos are based on lynda barry's work "how to look at art." one person's tattoo is a framed art piece of a mother holding her child. the other person's tattoo is a mother holding her child up to look at the art. the mother and child are mirroring the mother and child in the framed art piece. the tattoos are done with black line art. the two people's arms are pressed together, and it looks like they are holding hands, although their hands are not in frame. end image description.]

As someone with limited kitchen space and a love for cooking I was wondering:

EDIT: Feel free to elaborate why in the Tags!

heartbreaking:

girl has sooooooo many ambitions and ideas for projects but can only get 1.5 basic tasks done per day

"came back wrong" but it's food that you heated up in the microwave

OK SO

For anyone who hasn't heard my Microwave Rant:

Microwaves are designed to be used at a broad range of power levels. If you're getting bad results reheating your food, and you're doing everything on full blast, try a lower power setting! 50% power for twice the time, just give it a shot. It gives the heat time to spread evenly, and prevents overcooking of parts that are exposed to more radiation.

People complain about reheated pizza a lot -- that's bc overheating the crust makes it tough and chewy. I usually do pizza on 30% power for THREE times as long because it's especially vulnerable -- and my crust always comes out nice and tender.

I think there's a good metaphor for Came Back Wrong here too: if you actually take the time to do your necromantic ritual and/or unholy experiment right, and don't rush it at 100% power, you're likely to get better results.

the bosses in lies of p are NOT fucking around!!!

literally how it feels being a retail supervisor

our time is limited and beautiful and wonderful not unlike a katamari level

in the discourse landscape of gay shipping I think a crucial element is the underdog effect. official approval of your ship from showrunners (ie ship going canon) compromises your marginal status as a fandom shipper on tumblr, and in the long run produces a sore winner subjectivity where you must constantly insist that your ship is still good and subversive. destiel is a good edge case as it went canon in the most homophobic way possible, thus maintaining something of an underdog status despite it being explicitly addressed in the text of supernatural, while still ultimately losing its fandom dominance as evidenced by it constantly losing in shipping polls. ofmd shippers in this respect occupy a conflict of class interests in which their gay canonicity confers a level of comfort and stability that gay shippers who have to work in the posting mines doing web weaves will never experience. therefore, we can consider ofmd shippers to be the petit bourgeoisie of the fandom ecosystem, caught between the big bourgeoisie (tv writers) and the proletariat (stuckys), predictably choosing to engage in downwards class conflict to maintain their narrowly privileged status
