Ok so I dont know the first thing about homestuck other than megalovania was in it, but From what i understand about kismesis, hazbin hotel's fandom basically said Alastor ♠ Lucifer.

Like, I'm probably wrong, considering I have consumed a net total of 0 homestuck content, but like

A lot of dog training is a willingness to look ridiculous. So I offer up this video of me looking very silly as camaraderie.

I'm proofing Forte's (Belgian) alert cue by touching other parts of my body. I'm also rewarding Faye (corgi) for not responding because she's retired and I don't want her to interfere with my SDiT when he does need to task.

In case it seems like every third comic has Batman in it... you're not wrong. He's been in 38.6% of DC issues since 2020, with a stark increase of 8% each decade since the 90s and surpassing Superman in popularity. Despite this, there's been a massive drop off of comics where he is teamed up with Superman or a Robin (although the amount of group team ups between Batman Family members has increased, as well as Nightwing solos).

tua s4 was bad but five’s last hurrah and final bitch move being a cheating arc with his brother’s wife is… objectively very funny. hilarious even. yes it’s such a lukewarm final season but it still served cunt somehow? it’s also just extremely funny that the two people who said they’re not fit for domestic bliss and retirement are living a pinterest cottagecore life.. TOGETHER

Sadness for this day that ends. I love you, I'm thinking of you. May my love protect you from now on, my little girl. I embrace you, tightly.

Im watching The Magnus Archives for the first time at the behest of a friend and so far its just like

Episode 1: ok, fun little horror stories. Seems competently written, but I'm not sure how invested I'll get in a story who's format relegates plot and story progression to the background.

Episode 14: Bravo. This story really got to me. Being threatened with a future in which parts of you are removed one by one, and being powerless to stop it, just having to live with the knowledge that soon there will be nothing left? Horrifying. The Magnus Archives is a horror podcast and it does it well

Episode 16: Ok, I'm with Jon on this one. You are telling me that this guy was haunted and killed by the ghost of a vengeance addled spider? Thats ridiculous. What a way to go. It's almost funny.

Episode 34: bone apple teeth. I think I've solved it. The Magnus Archives is an absurdist comedy. The institute, a becon of knowledge and understanding, is being contrasted with these stories that defy the ability to be understood. They are researching the paranormal, which is an oxymoron. The primary humor comes from Jon, a rational skeptic failing to accept the reality of an irrational world. This contrast is further exemplified with occasional bouts of mundanity (Tim complaining about errors in recordings, Sasha pondering the pronunciation of calliope, martin not wearing trousers), which further highlight the Absurd. So many people witness events beyond their comprehension, horrific and wacky alike, and then have to just go back to their normal lives like nothing happened, and it's hilarious each and every time.

Still thinking about how good Minight Mass would have been as a dark comedy

[dangerousdan-dan]

Yeah, that's right, those are Selina and Lois dressed as Supers and getting a striptease from three Clark Kents.

By the way, this is happening inside one of Bruce's nightmares, and I'm not sure if that makes it worse.

The real problem with live-action remakes or adaptations of animated properties is that they pretend to be "more" mature and adult than their animated counterpart just for the simply fact that they are made with real people and aren't as "exaggerated". More live-action remakes/adaptations should embrace the silly, over-the-top and zeiny nature of animation as opposed to acting like a more "grounded" and "realistic" version of the properties they are based off, which ironically makes them look more childish in comparison.

Dear love, my genial one, I embrace you as your most lucid and passionate admirer. It suits me to go and see Gide, whom I like well but who has always appeared chilling, with his mania for beautiful language. This time I will play tired and doze internally. And then it will be a day without work too. It's a beautiful day, I'll enjoy the weather, that's all. I wonder how your general at Molière's went. My dearest love, I don't like to write to you when I wake up because that's the time when I always feel a little discouraged. But today is the 15th, and from now on the days will flow towards you. Your voice still echoes in me, since yesterday. It spoke all night in my heart. I will hear you soon! I can't believe it. I kiss you, my beautiful darling, my tragic, my moved. I kiss you and I love you, with all my strength.

I hate the way a lot of people in publishing are so married to the "writing rules" that they forget what makes writing great is deviance. Yeah, good writers master the rules, but brilliant writers master the rules *so they can break them* with purpose and meaning. Things that are only allowed to exist within the constraints of what was written before them will never be revolutionary.
