I’d like to think Jay and Nya are very funny because they are both mechanics, but in entirely opposite ways:
Nya has all her tools in proper order. In her workshop, there is never any scrap part going unused. Any notes and blueprints since the ripe age of 12 have been carefully stored and saved, no matter how much she cringes when looking back on them. The Samurai X designs and revisions have their own file cabinet as well as digital backups. Her measurements are double and triple checked, even though she probably had it right the first time. Every choice she makes is calculated and buffed out, from the interlocking gears to the paint job. She prides on her work on being practical and aesthetic, thank you very much.
Jay, meanwhile, is the definition of fuck around and find out. Blueprints? Who needs em, anyways? The only thing vaguely resembling “notes” in his work area are scrap pieces of paper with the most round-about mathematics ever (complete with indecipherable short-hand and a stick figure drawing of Jay holding a blowtorch, naturally.) He will change up plans on the fly and casually stick his hands in very sharp moving parts like there is no tomorrow. Safety equipment? He grew up in a junkyard. He had a wrench in his hand before he could walk. Yeah, no, he’s pretty sure he’s fine, thanks.

That was a finale???? idk that felt waayyyyy too tame. Maybe Sam Reich has got me on another plane of paranoia, but there was too much suspicious foreshadowing this season. They are all just friends in the end?? No storyline that shows how he's been here this whole time?? I'm calling it, he's expanded the scope. The audience is part of the psychological trauma. We are being pranked, idk how but WE ARE BEING WENIS'D.

I love the concept of Luigi jumping in when anyone, especially Mario needs him, but ultimately preferring to stay on the sidelines and chill because imagine some villain trying to convince him (without magical brainwashing or whatever) to turn on Mario. "Come onnn, aren't you TIRED of being the sidekick?? Don't YOU wanna be the hero??" And Luigi's just like "no thank you :)"
There's a reason why everyone that takes control of Luigi has to straight up brainwash him and/or make him an empty vessel void of memories, because there is nothing in that little green guy they can hook their claws into.
Jealousy? A desire for the spotlight? Tired of being in his brothers shadow?
Nope! he's quite comfy in that "shadow." And because I'm always looking for an excuse to bring up the "Year of Luigi" audio clip, I've got to point out that when he did get the spotlight he sounded more stressed than ever:
If they try to skew Luigi's view of his brother and convince him that Mario is mistreating him? Pushing him aside intentionally? Trying to leave him behind?
That'd probably be even less effective. He and his bro live together... they've known each other their entire lives... he knows Mario's heart better than anyone.
If Luigi's going to fight against Mario in any way, trickery and/or mind control would have to be involved. He's just too content and loves his brother too much.

the previous prompt has me kicking my feet
Caretaker keeps whumpee on their lap, wrapped in a jacket, held oh so tightly against their chest. The normally touch repulsed whumpee is keening under any skin to skin contact, as their nerves are fried with sensation. Mumbling something incoherent about something or other into caretakers shoulder.
caretaker is treating them for wounds/exposure/overall drugging, but it’s like trying to pull teeth. Whumpee is now at the point in their high that they’re figuring out ‘oh hey, I have a body’ and is wriggling.
(the post in question is HERE)
I hope you know, honest to god I screamed reading this. A good scream, a ‘oh i love what I just read’ scream. The idea of Caretaker just trying to wrangle Whumpee in their lap is killing me.
I feel like the situation would tow a very fine line between kinda hilarious and deeply unsettling. Because yes, having your typically reserved, serious Whumpee wriggling in your arms like a pouty child is a little funny. But also, seeing Whumpee act so deeply unlike themselves, so totally unable to control themselves, is undeniably unsettling.
It’s such a strange situation. It’s frustrating and terrifying, and it makes Caretaker feel deeply, deeply alone. Because even with them physically in their lap, Whumpee is still miles away.
I just imagine Whumpee clinging to Caretaker like a koala, legs wrapped around their torso and arms over their shoulders, head tucked into their neck. Despite how close they are, Caretaker can’t make out a single word they say.
Maybe Caretaker tries to crack a joke, tries to focus on the humor in the situation instead of the anxious protectiveness they feel at Whumpee’s current state. But when Whumpee looks up at them, eyes foggy with barely a hint of awareness, Caretaker’s forced, weak little smile crumbles.
Caretaker decides that tending to their injuries can wait. None of them seem life threatening, and it’s likely Whumpee isn’t even aware of them. Instead they sit there, rubbing comforting circles in one of the few unblemished parts on their back, and hope Whumpee returns to them sooner than later.

Solas: I have so little in common with modern elves, I hardly even consider myself one of them.
Sera: I am thoroughly annoyed by all things elven and I want Nothing to do with being an elf. Also I hate you, Solas, specifically very much.
Solas: actually hold on I have to do something really funny

a family member of mine just got engaged to his partner of the last several years
lore rekindled got a 30 minute readalong video made about it by DazzlingKate22 (the same person who made the "Is Persephone a Mary Sue?" video among many others) which is just absolutely amazing and overwhelming at the same time
and now the shit-talking train over the "never apologize for being sicilian" panel from S1 of LO has pulled into Twitter and people are dragging the FUCK out of it, i'm literally crying over how funny it is
hey webtoons i don't think your constant mass marketing of this series is working because this post is popping off way more than literally anything else regarding LO on twitter LMAO
it would be so genuinely hilarious if this one out of context panel from like 4 years ago is what gets people in the mainstream webtoon audience talking about how ridiculous it is
like it's not even a recent scene where people could go "wow this comic really went down the tubes", it's an old ass scene where people are going "wait this comic is still around, who the fuck reads this" 😭💀😆
so yeah, today's been pretty fun LMAO

Brain dead au where Jason was planning on pulling a Bruce.
Only to see Tim pulling the cowl equivalent of goo goo eyes during the middle of an Arkham breakdown.
Ahh hell..
~~~~~~
Jason, dumping a bucket of water on a chained up Tim: RISE AND SHINE TIMBIT!! IT’S TIME FOR A CHAT!
Tim jolts awake: wha- Jason?? What the f- why?
Jason casually circles around Tim: Quite simple Replacement! You’re fucking with my plans again and quite frankly neither of us like it when we have to have this little chat.
Tim: I have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. You know Alfred isn’t going to approve of the theatrics-
Jason: DON’T BRING ALFIE INTO THIS! Besides I think he would be quite proud of me right now. Using my words, he’s been trying to get Bruce to do the same thing since he was eight.
Tim: look I haven’t been trying to fuck with anything-
Jason: oh contrary little Timmers! Blue eyes black hair. Occasionally green and white. Nearly beats Dickie in wordplay and somehow has befriended the demon brat well enough that he has the honor of first name basis.*whirls around to glare at Tim* You are not as fucking slick as you think you are.
Tim:….
Jason: So here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to go home and nap. Get at least six hours and then clean up. Choose something nice to wear and ask him out. Treat him like a fucking gentleman and stay off everything but emergency coms. AM I CLEAR?
Tim: c-crystal..
Jason: good. I was planning on pulling a simple Bruce on him and all that but if this works out than I don’t even need to do any of the heavy lifting. But if this doesn’t than I’m letting you know that you are not going to enjoy any of the family dinners afterwards.
