So I just got 5 unskippable ads on YouTube and have but one question.
WHAT THE FUCK YOUTUBE!!!
Two unskippable ads? That's on par.
BUT FIVE FUCKING ADS!!! ALL UNSKIPPABLE!!! AND ONLY TWO WERE SHORT!!!
It's called a "call and response" and a lot of peoples brains are just hot wired to finish the other half! Think the Adams Family with the snapping, no matter what when most people hear "da da da dum" they are gonna snap or make the sound however they can to finish it!
idk if this is just an american thing, but do you guys remember when ur teacher would do this little rhythm of sounds and the children would respond with like the end notes and then they were expected to be quiet?? yeah thats what happening in this comic
the idea that jon isn’t as good at making tea as martin is is really cute n all, but im a bigger fan of the idea that jon is perfectly capable of making a good cup of tea, it’s just that tea made for you by someone you love hits different. like it technically tastes the same when he makes it himself, but it’s not actually the same, yknow?
Okay so here's the thing. My older brother had one of these and for the rest of the family it worked just fine no one could get in to it. The problem is that he had a little mini me aka me. I remember how mad he was when he found out that I had no issue getting into this thing no matter what funny voice he used or if he dropped his pitch. I could match it all for some reason so he could never actually keep me out of it. I also liked all the same things as him so guessing the code was not hard.
nothing has really ever lived up to the intensity of desire i felt towards the girl tech password journal as a child
This is so true it hurts!
You know what? This feels like something right out of The Magnus Archives. Like the whole crew of the Strawhats+Sunny was swallowed up by the vast and just narrowly escaped cause they didn't really know what would happen but knew if they let their guard down it would be over for them. What I'm saying is this was written absolutely beautifully!!! I loved it so much and even though it was short it gave a great deal of suspense absolutely wonderful!!!
We know there's a lot of weird spots that the strawhats have traveled through and I was thinking about what things would be super creepy out on the open water.
And I thought the sea is always moving, right? There's almost always going to be the sound of waves and water, even if it's quiet. There's almost always going to be the sway that comes from being at sea, the smell of salt, the harsh line of the horizon, etc.
But what if there wasn't? What if the water goes silent and the ship goes still? What if the horizon disappears in a night that's too dark to be normal and the moon is the only light but it sits in the sky more like a gaping hole than the usual nighttime companion?
Dark
Quiet
Still
Something where Luffy and Zoro are out on the ship in the middle of the night, the moon too high and too bright but everything much darker than it should be. The water and sky around them is all a wrong sort of black.
Luffy sits ridged on the figurehead and the frown is clear from the lines of his body even though he's facing forward. Zoro standing on the deck right behind him, the muscles of his back drawn tight and he has his hands on his swords. They're both almost swallowed by the dark.
The moonlight cuts across the deck in a harsh, sterile light.
Sanji leans against the mast towards the back, the very edge of his shoes teasing the cut of the moonlight. The red glow of his cigarette lights up his face just enough to see the harsh slant of his brow and the tightness of his jaw. The smoke is white as it leaves him and then gets swallowed by the dark.
Robin off to the side, arms crossed and hip resting against the side of the deck. She looks like stone in the low light, shoulders back and a blank look on her face.
All of them hyper focused on where the horizon should be, but is instead it's just endless, wrong dark.
Everything still and silent. The water doesn't move and there's no breeze.
The world is holding it's breath.
Quiet.
The only sound is their heartbeat in their ears and shallow breathing that's almost soundless. Chopper clings tight to Nami who's pressed side to side with Usopp. Franky and Brook are both on the other side of the room, keeping watch and braving the edges of moonlight that come through the little window. They're motionless, Brook blends into the shadows and leaves only the occasional white bone for the moon to catch. Franky is especially menacing and huge in the near nonexistent light.
They don't go out, terrified of making a noise that would break whatever silence is currently blanketed over them, terrifed that they'd make Luffy and the others lose focus and take their eyes off whatever they're watching or waiting for.
They stay curled up and silent against the wall that separates them from the moon and the night. It's dark inside the cabin but it's softer than whatever is outside. It's almost comforting, like children hoping a blanket keeps away the monsters.
They stay like that all night. When the first splashes of color spill across the hoizon it seems like a blanket has been ripped off. Suddenly air comes easier into their lungs and their muscles relax enough to flex fingers that had been clenched for hours and roll shoulders that had gone tight.
Zoro is back to his normal napping spot of deck, chin already dropping down to his chest and swords laid across his lap.
Luffy is still on the figurehead but he looks like he's humming to himself and looking towards the horizon with ease.
Robin is sitting down on the stairs, tired but relaxed as she leans into the morning breeze.
Sanji is already making his way towards the kitchen with a lazy stroll, the smell of his cigarettes lingers over the ship.
They don't ask.
Chopper scampers over to Zoro and carefully nudges the swords aside enough that he can climb onto his lap. He finally relaxes as Zoro wraps an arm around him, he's in one of the safest places on the ship.
Nami lets Sanji flutter around her longer than normal, sitting beside Robin who also seems content to indulge their cook a little extra today.
Usopp tails Franky, being careful on where he looks even though he knows there's no risk of him seeing anything terrible anymore. Franky asks something and Usopp launches into a story, eyes brightening up and a smile back on his face.
Brook goes to sit near Luffy and starts to play something warm and welcoming to greet the day.
It never happens again, at least not like it had that night.
Sometimes Luffy or Zoro seem to stare off at the horizon with a sharp intensity, but it breaks quickly.
Sometimes Sanji stands on the deck and smokes until there's a pile of ash at his feet, brow furrowed as he looks out over the water until he seems to blink and break himself out of it.
Sometimes Robin sits on the deck and wears the face she make when she's working on a puzzle, going though everything she knows and trying to make everything fit together.
That endless dark and haunting moon never reappear though. The dark only brings stars and the moon glows like a warm candle.
Platonic soulmates if you would ✨
Yusuke aroace but also his relationship with Akira is just so queer
They’re madly in love, they get each other without words, they’re soulmates, they’re each other muses, they’re treating their relationship like a dance or painting, expressive art piece. They’re not dating mind you, Yusuke is uninterested in that, Akira doesn’t like him that way and yet they’re each other everything
Alright so my brother and I make jokes like this constantly to the point where one of my characters is just this joke. Pretty much the thought process is that every time they try to tell someone their gender more and more ridiculous shit happens to prevent it from being heard and then they just say "but I prefer if you just call me Z" almost like the universe is keeping it a secret. The thought process is that you don't need to know Z's gender to accept them and respect that they just want to be called Z. As you should with everyone if they want you to use pronouns, use them. If they prefer to just be called by their name, just use their name.
what is my gender? my gender is [large truck passes by] but everybody calls me “dad”
Ya know what, nah man that's valid as fuck, Miku is great dude
If y’all got cancelled what would you be cancelled for? Say it in the tags.
You can be a boy princess and a girl prince you know. I won’t elaborate but you get it.
Happy birthday my Rat boiiiiiiis
and wish Nigel & Patrick Ratburn a happy wedding anniversary 💒 🎂💕
