The core appeal of Willy Wonka is that he's a nigh-omnipotent maniac who uses his near limitless powers over reality to trick shitty people into killing themselves. You can't make him the protagonist of a whimsical coming of age tale - you have to treat him like Jason Voorhees, or Dracula, or any other horror icon. Give him some new victims and new interesting kills and set him loose, that's all audiences want.

Is there a site where I can see the fan translations of Asian media instead of the western naming that makes no sense?

Piece of Asian media: *has a title that's obviously not in English*

Fan Translators: hmm taking into account the intention of the original and the rules of both languages, plus the tone of the story, the best title would probably be something like Adherent of the Blade of Duality, but probably an official translation would want to shorten it to Blade of Duality, or perhaps Double-Edged Sword to borrow a popular turn of phrase that also fits thematically--

Official English Translators: Master of Double-Penetration

Multi billion dollar corporations: We make crap AI ads because we rather hang themselves than pay an extra cent for a quality work.

Midsize art supply manufacturer: We commissioned a watercolor artist to make an illustration for every color of our watercolor palette and make it into an art book with swatches.

We've decided to make our new album ANYWAY free on our website, on Bandcamp & Polyvinyl .

It's out right now Download it here (24-bit WAV / 320kbps MP3)

We spent the last year making it. It's different than anything we've done before, but feels like it's been part of us all along.

It's about being together- we hope you love it as much as we do.

Thank you <3 If you wanna support us, the best way is to see us on our upcoming tour or you can buy the record / tape / CD from Polyvinyl!

tiktok users will call themselves a crazy freak for being into conventionally attractive men with a couple of scars whereas tumblr users will straightfaced come up to you and be like ‘aha yeah im pretty vanilla i only want to fuck the Normal Amount of computer components :)’

How to Successfully Study in the Library

bring all of your materials with you

find a nice quiet spot void of distractions 

make sure to take little breaks every half hour or so

maybe bring a little snack

don’t look at the giant floating baby

just don’t 

try to forget about the giant floating baby in the library 

use different colors of highlighters to organize your notes

If you survive Gerard’s game for the first hour, you get the reward of playing Frank’s game which is arguably the scarier one

TIL the reason you don’t find much Lyme’s Disease in California is not because we don’t have Ticks, or Lyme Disease Vectors; but rather: because the Western Fence Lizard (if you live anywhere in California this is your regular Garden Variety Lizard) has adapted a passive immune response that makes their blood lethal to Lyme Disease Bacteria. Any Tick that feeds on one gets its gut cleansed of Lyme Disease as a side effect.

Fucking neat.
