#and they are NOT senile. yet.

[tedthetalk]

I can’t believe I finally had a functional Christmas list all full of I actually wanted and my relatives all decided to go senile so I have no idea if I’m getting any of it 🤦

Trying to imagine if the Pope in Machette's universe is, like, a Pomeranian, and thus shrinks down to a fraction of his original size when wet. Like it rains and everyone is like 'oh, Your Holiness. Oh no'

Just looked on the older books for refs of Thea and

Boi Curse of the Cheese Pyramid is insane

It literally starts with G heading to work on time at 9, but William comes in like "BOI YOU'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON THE GAZETTE YOU HAVE TO CUT DOWN THE BUDGET" (Imagine this screamed directly into Geronimo's ear)

Obviously William's definition of "cut down the budget" is this

TW: Spoilers for Curse of the Cheese Pyramid, William behavior, do not click on if you don't want a spike in blood pressure

If you choose to turn away now, the following fume was just an intermission for finding this picture lmao

He pawned over everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in Geronimo's office, from his desk to his armchair to his carpet to his book collection to his art collection, and replaced it all with a single plastic chair and desk ("All you need in an office is a desk and chair!")

He fired ALL THE STAFF and decided that only family members will be working for the paper (because family members don't need to be paid as much probably (if at all) when working for a family business-- they all share their finances with each other, anyway maybe (it's not clear what their salaries are gonna be (wanna bet G is paid minimum wage while Thea is paid 50% of the Gazette's monthly expenses after this clean sweep))). The only person spared from the firing spree was Shif T. Paws, the Gazette's sales manager, who apparently offered to work there for free.

He delegates all the work of the Gazette to four people-- G does all the office work (taking calls, building maintenance, writing, editing, printing, clientele stuff), Thea does all the interviews and field work stuff, Trap does all the cooking, and Benjamin is "William's personal assistant". Lord knows what that last position means for little Benji. (Okay reading ahead Benjamin seems fine, but he does say that William is "a bit pushy".)

He sends G out on a work holiday thing and he overworks the crap out of everyone, to the point where even Thea is sick of William's senile old-fashioned ass, and it seems that the Gazette was also going downhill because of this mouse furry ripoff Daniel Dancer. (To give a preview of what he did in the working perspective, he basically had Trap work seven days a week)

He was planning to have staff give use old newspaper instead of toilet paper (T&B expenses), make a 30-second time mechanism for the restrooms (to maximize manpower efficiency and possible humiliation for anyone going number 2), and was considering cutting all electricity to the building and just have staff work on typewriters "just like the old days".

This man's senile ass--

I see so much art for the future Rise turtles, BUT WHAT OF THESE!? So i did a quick messy sketch during my 1hr lecture

the 30k palestinian death toll is most definitely underreported. it's been that number for nearly three months yet the massacres have not stopped with almost 100 palestinians dying a day. many gazans have admitted that they haven't reported the deaths of family members or friends to the ministry of health. and gazan health officials themselves have said the ministry of health is practically collapsed and therefore it has not been able to report the number of deaths accurately.

i think about how during the bangladesh liberation war, which lasted 9 months, the minimum number of deaths reported was 300k, but the official number was likely 3 million given the pakistani/us-made famine that led the starvation of so many rural bengalis.

gaza has 2.1 million people living in what is now the most densely populated area in the world, which has constantly been denied humanitarian aid and has been bombed for 5 months with thousands still under the rumble and unaccounted for. i can't even fathom what the real number of deaths could be right now.

i spent a semester at art school at the height of covid lockdown as like a "study away" type experience because i missed being around ppl who were interested in technique and wanted more critical feedback. did a lot of interesting things and met some interesting people but mostly realized that being a professional illustrator would be a unique form of torture for me. unless i could make like magic the gathering cards that would be dope

Oh this reminds me, on Saturday I was feeling particularly bad about my looks and when I finally went to bed I had a dream that I got a glimpse far into future I think, when I would be already dead, and for some reason my old photo was circulating on tumblr where I did look absolutely horrible yet everyone was commenting like "this was maurycy at 27yo why wasn't I there to rail him...." and adding these two pictures

Anyway it mostly made me laugh when I woke up but also I felt a little bit better about myself so

Okay okay okay but what is YOUR favourite headcanon about the funny circle boys??? It must be known :33

You know what, now I realise what a stupid question I asked you earlier, because how could we possibly choose a favourite headcanon?? There's so goddamn many.

Okay okay but one has been on my mind lately + forever, and it's just for Cartman. You know those old depressed camp gay men who sneer at everything, call everyone sweetie and honey condescendingly, and their lives are utterly fabulous looking from a distance - before you see the cigarette ashes on their silk kimono, the smeared boutique French mascara under their baggy cynical eyes, and the emptiness in their heart and soul.

I wish that for future Cartman. I want him alone, gay, horny, and depressed. It's not because I hate him, I love the bastard to death, it's because that life is untouchably tragic and romantic, if you crave miserable loneliness amidst style and wealth. And he decorates his apartment like a wicked motherfucker, that eye for luxury design is unmatched.

So essentially he's the entire movie "The birdcage", only he's his own Armund and Albert.

I just want what's best for him.

Idk how after GoF, whenever Harry was suspicious of Snape and people would just say "Dumbledore trusts him", he didn't say "Yeah well he also let a death eater teach us for a year without noticing so..."
