What’s striking to me about comparing the Final Fantasy VII remake is with its source material is that in the original, Aerith and Tifa are honestly kind of dicks to each other a lot of the time, while their relationship in the remake more closely resembles that of their popular fanfic counterparts, and I legitimately cannot tell whether it’s because Square’s writers have finally pulled their heads out of their collective ass about writing interactions between adult women, or whether they’re just trying to make the OT3 shippers explode.

What do you mean “or”?

Quentin: Raj move out of the way please so I don’t trip on you.

Raj: You KICK Raj? You kick his body like the football? Oh! Oh! Jail for Quentin! Jail for Quentin for One Thousand Years!

The only problem here is that OP’s username is wrong.

Because you know that happened.

In Norse mythology, both Odin and Loki are tricksters. The only difference between them is that Odin is Buggs Bunny, while Loki is Daffy Duck.

Which leads to the interesting question of who, precisely, takes on the role of Elmer Fudd?

Baldur?

I can’t agree that Odin is Bugs. Given the gender fluidity, who else can Bugs be but Loki?

I do agree about Elmer. Because who is balder than Fudd?

Villain: “You and I are very much alike, you know.”

Hero: “I realize that.”

Villain: “Doesn’t that trouble you?”

Hero: “Why would it? I share most of my genome with sewer rats.”

Villain: “But our similarities mean that, deep down, you’re a bad person. There’s nothing stopping you from being just as evil as I am!”

Hero: “Sure there is. I’m stopping me.”

Villain: “But in your heart you crave—”

Hero: “Sometimes when I’m in a crowded building I get the sudden urge to just boop a stranger right on the nose. But I don’t do it, because that would be super rude and weird. Does having that compulsion in the first place make me just as much of a weirdo as if I had acted on it? Maybe it does in your eyes, but to the would-be boopee, it makes all the difference in the world.”

Villain: “We’re not talking about booping noses, we’re talking about killing peop—”

Hero: “Look, dude, I’m sure murder can be really satisfying. But I’ve decided that I don’t want to murder people, and I think that’s very sexy of me. Look at me. With a little self-restraint, you might have had what I have.”

Villain: “But surely it disturbs you, doesn’t it? To know how close you are to snapping. Don’t deny it. There’s so much darkness in your heart. Do you really think they’d still love you if they knew? They’d be disgusted by you. They’d hate you, for thinking so much like me.”

Hero: “That’s the difference, isn’t it? Between you and I. One tiny difference. That’s all it takes. That’s the line between good and evil.”

Villain: “What?”

Hero: “You saw your own darkness and let it destroy you. You surrendered to it the moment you realized it was there. You threw open the door for it and welcomed it inside and let it rob you of your humanity without even a word of protest because you just couldn’t imagine it was something you could fight.”

Villain: “And you, oh-so-sanctimonious one?”

Hero: “I said ‘no thanks’. That’s it. That’s the difference.”

Villain: “Did you just—did you just—”

Hero: “Boop your nose? You’re right. It did feel good.”

I love this kind of dynamic. And the philosophy. Because “there is darkness inside you, too” is tautological; you’re human? Then there’s darkness inside you. News at 11, Francisco Franco is still dead.

Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.

BURN BAGEL BURN

OH WHY NOT?

I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.

Bagel what are your powers

FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD

I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD

The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!

I got a job offer after reblogging the bagel. Believe in the bagel!

🙏🏼

Go lil bagle! Show me your power!

You know that post that was trending a while back about how if a person claims they’re just being honest, but their honesty only ever seems to move them to say cruel or hurtful things, the real problem isn’t that they’re honest, it’s that they’re a prick?

I feel like social media needs a corollary whereby if a person appears to have poor reading comprehension, but they only ever seem to misunderstand in ways that allow them to conclude that other people are stupid or ill-informed and thereby manufacture opportunities to “correct” them, the real problem isn’t their reading comprehension, it’s their ego.

sometimes people try to tell me that scientists are paragons of rationality and I have to break it to them that I have yet to work in a lab that didn’t have at least one weird secret shrine in it

new guy: why is all of the equipment in this room covered in toys?

me: dONn’t touch those

new guy:

me: they need the toys to function. if they don’t all have toys they get jealous.

new guy:

new guy:

me: when something breaks just take the wizard and wave it around for a while. they seem to like that.

Science is rational, scientists are human. 

In Taiwan we have a special brand of snacks named 乖乖 (literally means “well behaved” but in a casual way like when one’s compliment a child or a pet of being good) that has green package.

It has become the lucky charm in the IT industry because engineers believe it will make machine acting good (like the name of the snack) and stay in green light (like the color of the snack’s package) when a 乖乖 is put on top of a server.

It is the only food allowed in a server room and the biggest semicondoctor company in Taiwan (which is also the biggest worldwide) even commissioned the snack factory to make a customized version with blessing on the package.

This is how a server room is blessed by 乖乖. You put at least one on top of each server. It’s important that the engineers change them before the expire date because legend says the snack looses it’s power after expire date.

You’ll hear engineers swearing up and down that their server room crushed down the one time they forgot to change the snack.  Or some newbie ate the forbidden snack put on top of their server and caused a disastrous crush down.

The 乖乖 religion later spread to all people who want their machine to act nice. In the lab we put 乖乖 on ultra-low freezer (you really don’t want it to drop dead along with your 2 years’ worth of sample/data), mass spectrometer etc.

When Taiwan’s about to launch the first self made satellite in 2017, the develop team even put 乖乖 around the satellite model to prey for a successful launch (it did). This shit is real.

You can tell when an academic writer has never actually read any superhero comics and is basing their thesis entirely on things that other people have written about them when they’re like “the problem with superheroes is that rich white men dressing up like funny animals and beating up poor brown people is a fascist power fantasy”, because not only is that rarely an accurate description any given superhero comic, there are also any number of much more fucked up things about contemporary mainstream superhero comics that they’re totally overlooking.
