My attempt on the infinity stones. Let me know what you think. Gauntlet will follow.
breaking bad, fight club, rick and morty, clockwork orange, and the catcher in the rye are all arguably good things - but if a man says they are his FAVORITE book/movie/tv show? RUN.
Can someone explain this to me?
They’re all works that are examinations of compelling but deeply flawed (usually narcissistic and violent) men. People rightly like all these works because they are good, but the implication of the original post is that if a guy says they are his favorite work, he is probably misunderstanding the point of the work and instead idolizing the male protagonist and is unable to recognize their flaws.
Basically, ask why they like it. If they like it because they think it’s well-written and made, you’re probably good. But if they want to be like Walter White, or Tyler Durden, or Rick Sanchez, or Alex DeLarge, or Holden Caulfield: yeah, RUN.
Finally I can reblog this post.
Another thing to the list- Watchmen. A great graphic novel but even the author says that if anyone tells you they identify with Rorschach, tell them to stay away from you.
Bockstensmanen, a medieval person who happened to die in a bog which preserved his clothes (and more), clothes like hella comfy??
Like seriously. Comfy and warm wool clothes!
(yes this are pictures of his actual outfit, not reconstructed clothing. They were very well preserved in all except colour. The bog gave everything that yellow shade, i suspect)
Picture from: https://www.museumhalland.se/bockstensmannen/kladerna/
His kjortel (the clothing for his upper body)
He got a mantel that resemble a poncho
It goes around the entire body! So perhaps not quite a mantel but.
A got a little hood with a fashionedble long thingy at the end
Warm that too! There is no openings for wind or anything, so like. Just pull hood over head, get warm!
Warm socks! Gotta keep em feets warm (and just like in english, the swedish words for trousers, byxor, is in plural in its normal form, just because the medieval version of trousers consisted of two separate peices like here.
Somewhere, there should be something for hos upper legs but idk were that one is)
Anyway! I do think one can tell that keeping warm was an important part of the logic behind bockstensmannens clothing. Not odd that, when he lived in Scandinavia and all…
All pictures from
When we already at it, with listning his entire outfit. Here his this shoes
Reconstruction in how he might have looked like in life. The musuem points out, that his skull was very smashed when found, werehas it might be a bit so so with this dolls facial similiarity with bockstensmannen in life. And his hair colour we know not, the bog will colour most hair red with enough time.
But that hairstyle! That he really had! Bockstensmannen wore like Peak Fluffy Medieval Hair Fashion in life
The entire doll wearing bockstensmannens reconstructed clothing

“biological sex is a social construct” doesn’t mean “chromosomes, anatomy, hormones, and genitalia don’t exist”. it means “these exist, but assigning roles, labels, and expectations to certain combinations of these characteristics is a social construct, and an unnecessary and pointless (actually harmful) one at that”.
This idea would not leave my brain
is now a bad time to mention that noir’s uncle ben was canonly eaten by a cannibal in the comics
FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT UHURA IS A GODDAMN ENGINEER, WHICH IS WHY SHE WEARS RED. SHE IS THE COMMS OFFICER BECAUSE SHE KNOWS HOW TO WORK THE EQUIVALENT OF THE SHIP’S HAM RADIO—THAT’S TECHNICAL WORK. SHE IS NOT KIRK’S SPACE SECRETARY.
And she speaks a bunch of languages and she’s so smart that when she lost her memory of everything, she learned it all again really quickly (with nurse chapel which was so cute)
Honey got skills and she’s a genius
And she knows how to play the Vulcan lyre too!
One of the things that I absolutely love about the mp100 anime is how they decided to animate body language and facial expressions. Like I feel a lot anime won’t do it nearly as well as mp100. Idk how to make gifs but some examples would be like how Reigen moves and how the animators gave him a distinct posture compared to the other characters, or that scene in ep8 where right before ritsu starts to cry he does that face twitch people do when they’re holding back tears. There are way more examples but yeah. Even when I first started watching this show and I was still unsure how I felt about it, this was one of the first things I noticed. Idk I’m not really going anywhere with this, just sharing some thoughts.
OP? Yeah first off great post.
Second:
Their movements and expressions all flow to the weight of the character in the first gif the big muscular guy is put to a halt but weighs him down in contrast to Mob who is much lighter he is being tossed around and looks near weightless.
Another example is the oh so expressive Reigen. In the first gif he moves with confidence and purpose, the way his hips move as he tosses his coat on. He knows he looks like one bad bitch. However when he is nearly busted as a fraud his movements are more frantic but he stays in place trying to ground himself only moving to whisper
Then here is Mob, very tried and we can tell by his movements they are fummbly and slow then the telepathy club, they have a mission they move with vigor!
And my personal favourite. The expression says it all folks, he is desperate and trying not to cry
The animators didn’t hesitate bitch. And thank god they didn’t
I Hear That’s Good
AM I HAVING A STROKE?
The synchronized “jOHN MulANey” absolutely destroyed me

The chemical name for vitamin C is “ascorbic acid”. I always used to wonder about this one. Is being ascorbic like being acerbic? Is it like being ascetic? Absorbent? Some combination of all of them?
Today I learned that scorbi is just a Latinish way of writing scurvy. So a-scorbi-c acid is “no-scurvy acid”.
Eat this orange. It’s full of FuckScurvium.
Guess we’re drinking our No Scurvy juice today
