Trans people who DIY hormones: You don’t have to rely on sketchy information on Tumblr or Reddit regarding your trans health care. Granted, there can be some tidbits that might be useful for the DIY’er that you simply can’t get from medical resources but you absolutely should read and have access to peer-reviewed, medical literature on transgender health care.
So Pokemon Go came out and I legit walked around for three hours in the dark, met like five of my neighbors also looking for Pokemon, and saw a grown ass man trudge into a pond. What a time to be alive.
nintendo’s plan to make everyone get out the house is working spectacularly if a bit odd.
“Working spectacularly, if a bit odd” is Nintendo’s entire goddamn business model.
me: *waits patiently in a line in a busy establishment with limited employees who can only work so fast
every 40+ person in the vicinity: OHHHHHHH MY GOD THIS IS RI-DIC-U-LOUS why is the space time continuum not being broken to IMMEDIATELY ACCOMODATE me, The Most Important Person In The World,
the best part of gumball is the plots are always something so simple like “gumball’s family is losing money!” but that slowly becomes “gumball’s family has no money so the whole universe loses it’s whole animation”
and then like, ANYTHING can happen inbetween, is there gonna be a scene animated by a professional anime company this episode? sure
are gumball and darwin gonna find a void where forgotten boring background characters and mistakes go and crazy frog is there? sure
is gumball gonna realize there’s more shows within his own show and try to become part of that show? sure
is a character who appeared in 3 episodes as a background character in the first season who had like 3 lines total gonna come back as the main villain of the show later? sure, why not
dont forget the episode where one of the characters writes fanfiction
there’s an episode where they make thousands of clones of a piece of bread and then have to kill them all with sprinklers because a burnt, evil clone wants revenge on them for burning them and turned them into his evil army to take over the world and kill gumball and you’re focused on an episode where they write fanfiction
Even that description isn’t the HALF of it
The bread in question is one of their fellow background classmates who has gotten eaten or destroyed various ways throughout the series. It’s always just a throwaway gag, like Kenny, never questioned until a whole episode in which Gumball is determined to find out the truth.
They literally spy on his parents and discover that every time their toast son dies, they put a new, inanimate piece of bread in their toaster, and out pops their son again like nothing happened.
He wants to understand how this works so he fucking breaks into this bread family’s house and fucking plays with the thing that resurrects their child.
This show’s sense of humor revolves heavily around the fact that a lot of things look like they’re just nonsense, like the different art and animation styles of its different characters, but are all very literally real with their own internal logic and continuity. There are just countries out there of people with boomboxes for heads, there’s a “carnivore movement” among characters who are plant-based, whole episodes have revolved around the fact that any object can just suddenly become a sentient person in their world.
And then there’s that episode where reality is breaking down, turning things into even odder objects and more new animation styles, implying that the entire show was always just set in a reality that already broke once before, possibly several times.
OP also forgot to mention that the cyclops kids became that scrambled villain after escaping from that same void where the Crazy Frog was living.
Gumball is a wild show for being a comedy and I love it
you know what’s really genuinely unsettling? the degree to which men fucking do not want to sympathize with/be interested in women.
male audiences will happily watch a dozen superhero shows, but then something like Agent Carter or Supergirl turn up and they’re panned from the first trailer and have to struggle for ratings. male audiences will watch countless installments of a franchise as long as it’s about men doing man things but the second a character like Rey or Furiosa or god forbid four entire female Ghostbusters steps up and takes a position of prominence it’s “pandering sjw bullshit”.
it’s not pandering. men just aggressively don’t want to have to be invested in a woman’s narrative and it’s really gross.
I love when small children identify all quadripedal animals as “doggy!”
It always reminds me of the time Plato offered the definition of a human as any “featherless biped” and Diogenes busted into the Academy with a plucked chicken screaming, “BEHOLD A MAN!”
I’m really glad that KC Green’s work is being more widely recognized after the whole “This is not fine” comic came out.
He’s been in the comic making game for a really long time and he has…a bit of a knack for creating things that are used as reaction images and never credited back to him.
He’s a really cool guy and a great artist and I HIGHLY recommend following his work.
i feel like its important to add that hes also responsible for dickbutt. thats an important part of his resume
Some lesser known KC Green Career Highlights:
honestly I swear he’s like. the best at unintentionally making reaction images
*puts my hand on your discouraged shoulder* not only are you smart and capable, but your potential is immeasurable and you will go on to do great things in your life time
okay so i think i’ve told you guys this before but my coworker is a lesbian ex nun and for some reason i never asked how she met her wife but today is one of my last days so i asked her and holy shit you guys it’s like a fanfic they met in the convent and decided to escape together im screaming
okay sorry for the wait we were gushing about our fun home tickets like gay nerds but okay so they were ROOMMATES IN THE CONVENT!! what kind of fanfic shit… but anyway so it’s like a dorm room and a curtain is down the middle that separates the roommates from each other. and also i guess in the convent once you’re in your room you’re not allowed to talk? so they would pass each other notes under the curtain and like when lights-out happened at night and the head nun lady went to bed they would sit at the curtain with a spiral notebook and have conversations by just passing the notebook back and forth. so they did this for a few months but they were miserable in the convent and decided that enough is enough so they ran away together and my coworker’s now-wife like left first and then my coworker waited a day and snuck out and they met up at the closest gas station and then a month later they moved in together and they’ve been together ever since like 22 years and honestly if there is a better example of ‘it gets better’ idk what it is
Nigh on twenty years knowing about this riddle, and IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME THIS MIGHT BE THE ANSWER.
FUCKING CHRIST
Given Poe’s wordwide fame and the date of his death (1849) compared to the year Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was published (1865), coupled with Carroll’s age at the time and the stylistic similarities between the Alice books and Poe’s stories that point to a literary influence from Poe to Carroll, this theory is actually extremely plausible. In fact, this is one of the best and most logical answers to the riddle I think I’ve ever read.
My answer was “they both produce notes, though they are very flat” but this, this is so good!
