this is the stupidest thing and it absolutely undid me

tumblr post by user sapphling from August of 2023 reading: "sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher" "You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this? Then they have screenshotted tags left on their post by another user reading: "crying screaming and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didn't REALLY die and come back to life all those times" sapphling follows that with "no that part was real"

The thumbnail from Charlie the Unicorn in which two other frantic unicorns cajole him to go to the Candy mountain but it *spoiler* turns out to be a ruse to harvest his kidney.

I’m always very leery about any kind of candy mountain because I like my kidneys where they are.

LARRY ENTICER SENDS IT YouTube video by mitch amyotte

Despite being parody, few have captured the essence quite like Lawrence, here.

Which is to say I largely agree with OP, yet remain enthusiastic about “send it” in a rural Canada context.

It ends right when you crack a beer after landing a wicked jump on some right-greasy hill from the feeezin’ rain last night with your dad’s snow machine while your buddies cheer, eh?

It was so good. Finished it a while ago.

Whoopsie!

Only DFHack can save us from FPS death!

I used to set up dump orders on a one-square zone that was under a bridge and "Dwarven Atom Smash" them out of existence. Casualties were low, but not none. Never none.

"Do not forget it, i can remove you from this transaction" goes so hard

Equally valid experience. Less "deep" and more "why are you trying to pick up that 1 unit of steel beside the enraged thrumbo herd?"

*Continues notes, but no longer looks at the pad*

Kraft Dinner is never a wise choice, but it can be so damn comforting. I'm taking notes of that particular alchemy, though. Nodding as I do.

It's a special kind of magic.

4 all the way.

Terrifying bathroom with concrete floor and wood paneling, huge with nothing in it like a kill room

Y’all ever walk into a public restroom and immediately whisper “Jesus Christ”

"That's why I'm consuming the ONE meat not corrupted by socialism!"

*desperate attempt not to laugh, visible on camera. This take is used anyway.*

"LIVER!"

a man wearing glasses is making a funny face . Alt: Mike Meyers as Austin Powers, who regularly declared that people “looked smashing, baby, YEAH!!!!”

All the kids are doing these new things but this guy looked smashing to bone max years ago.

perhaps it’s Perhapselline

Pear's welcome to have a pint in all Canadian provinces, and frankly, we could use some terrifying fruit.

Classy!

Okay, so, real talk: if any of them are in Latin and the recorder didn’t previously speak Latin?

It is time to go.

And you crushed it.

A screenshot from Twin Peaks. An FBI agent driving in a car is saying "Diane, 11:30am, February 24th. I'm entering the town of Twin Peaks" into a dictaphone.

Happy 'entering the town of Twin Peaks' day to those that celebrate 🥳

Finished up Service Model by @aptshadow.bsky.social not too long ago, and as an intro to his body of work, it was delightful.

I love an intriguing premise executed earnestly and “what if a robot valet found himself out of a job because he killed his owner, without knowing why,” is a killer mystery.

A sign with the text "PLEASE NO DUCKS" featuring an illustration of a duck and two smaller ducks, enclosed in a red prohibition circle.

You can tickle the penguins
And get them to laugh
You can just sing a song
To amuse the giraffes
Just a little soft-shoe
Will delight the woodchucks
But try as you might
You can’t

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

It’s a bit less oppressive than the others but it’s very much in the tone of 1984 so it’s not a cheery ride on contemplation even though the overall tone and pace of the movie is more colourful and frenetic. I feel like the fact it has a kinda heroic and hopeful air just makes the sadness hit harder

My god.

Nice doesn’t make waves. Nice plays well with others.

Kind is ready to start some shit for someone’s benefit, and then will help pick up the pieces.

Kind has intention and a goal.
