#<- im not chilling though

[s0lar-ch3ri]

i consider it human decency

like the idea of "explaining the joke makes it unfunny" is not only subjectively false, but bullies those who *want* or even *need* that explaination

sometimes it allows you to learn cool shit, other times you can get someone else to laugh along

there is no bad side to explaining a joke! explain them for people who dont get it! repeating the joke doesnt make it make sense and if you refuse to let your friends in on a joke, your an asshole (minus if its like a personal joke or one you wanna keep the context of between a certain group, that i get, but like sharing it online? thats not an inside joke there buddy)

now that ive covered the part of "explaining jokes is very good" lets talk on why explaining it commonly makes it more funny

number one is obvious but hey. you let someone understand the joke. like i put in parentheses earlier but didnt fully elaborate on, if your sharing a joke online or anywhere, we gotta understand the punchline for it to be funny buddy. otherwise you just said some random shit that like nobody gets.

"oh but these people get it why cant the-" bonk. bonk. bonk. bonk. bonk (this repeats for 10 billion years [joking]). the joke there is im hitting them with a giant mallot. theres a set up (the stupid comment) and a punch line ("this repeats for 10 billion years") that with explanation you might have not gotten! you wouldnt have guessed the mallot probably, whats bonking you? whos getting bonked? what is bonking (sorry, didnt explain that, its like the noise thats somewhat made when you hit your head on something, commonly associated with hamemrs and most times i see it clowns? yeah lol)? does it end or would you keep saying bonk? why did you stop? whatever questions lol

different people understand things differently and i made an at-school poll as proof of it (which ill be sharing pics of later)! you like things, other people dont, thats not some satanic crime against the holy word of god (exaggeration of my point).

"alright, but it stops being fu-" i have the hammer still!~ BONK! (they are bleeding out dead on the floor [another joke referencing the one i made earlier with bonking]) not only has this comedy tactic been used before, but theres this guy on youtube (kurtis connor, comedian, funny guy) and he explains several of his jokes! sometimes the explanation is the punchline. honestly? funny ass shit.

my explanations of jokes may be seen as too much here (maybe someone believes that "no ones gonna need the explained reference"), but i dont care! im trying to make this understandably funny!

comedy isnt some personal experience, make everyone laugh, the joy and whimsy of life and jsut clowning around (HONK HONK! <- thats a clown horn noise, most times used when a clown character "honks" or squeezes their commonly big red nose. again, reference to the clown jhokes ive been making, it is also a pun) should be enjoyed by all!

Appreciation post for everyone explaining a joke in comments and posts when someone doesn't get it, for people willing to explain pop culture references that fly over someone's head, for people answering genuine questions about some issue someone has trouble understanding, for people who take enquiries about "common sensical" stuff in good faith, I love you <3

There is no better feeling to me than knowing i had leftovers in the fridge and knowing they went missing because of my little brother. The container sits empty and dirty by the sink and there’s not a scrap left. Just this morning he insisted he wasn’t gonna touch it bc i probably poisoned it. He made a face as if there was trash in the container rather than food. I come home later, and the leftovers are gone. My brother is fed. Im content in knowing that I’ll never have a problem of having made too much food. I will just always give it to him. I asked earlier today if he wants waffles for tomorrow morning. “Can you make them with chocolate chips?” He asks, a little polite. “Yeah.” I smile. “I’m also gonna put poison in it. And a bomb.”

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

sometimes i think about how nendo, kaido, saiki, (and sometimes kuboyasu but usually only when associated with them) are canonically the losers of PK and people actively dislike them, talk bad about them, make rumors about them, etc.

People commenting “I was in middle school when Taken King came out”, “I was in high school when that dropped”, “How were you that young?? I was in my 20’s”, “I was almost 30!!” on my elementary school Oryx post is so jarring, but not surprising

It took me so long to formally join the Destiny fandom because I was always so much younger than people. I’ve been into Destiny since the drop of D1; this game has been my whole life since I was 7!!! That’s right, SEVEN!! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7!!!

So to celebrate me being a babbling baby compared to everyone, here’s more of me tattling on myself!

To quell concerns, no, I didn’t play by myself! Me and my dad had 2 PlayStations, so I’d steal my sister’s account and play with him in a different room or just watch him play when I got home from 1st grade (yep, that’s how young I was)

Every recess, I got out a notebook I had just to write fanfiction about Crota and Oryx while forcing my friends to write with me. They had no idea of Destiny, but they tried their best to support my obsession. (One of them drew Oryx, Crota, and Me, but they made the former 2 people so I had to lecture them on how much cooler aliens were 😭)

My dad got sent the Game Informer Taken King magazine, so I snuck it away and may or may not have kissed it a time or two

My teacher was playing something on YouTube for us and a Taken King ad came on, causing me to let out a shriek of pure delight in front of everyone and have to move my color down for misbehavior

I cried so hard over the Taken King and Son YouTube video, it wasn’t even funny

I would put the Book of Sorrows and Destiny lore cards on my reading log for school since I spent hours reading them

Used to watch MyNameisByf on the school computers when I was supposed to be doing educational lessons

Told everyone I had to graduate early so that I could work at Bungie before Destiny’s 10 year saga was up

There are more stories, but for my dignity, I will not disclose those.

Destiny truly molded me during my formative years and was my first fandom, hence my passion for the game. I always wanted to interact more with Destiny fans, but everyone was always so much older than me 😭
