Give me strength… I can’t right now with the human race, y’all. I just watched a dude on Youtube react to Benny Goodman. Big band music from the 40s. The reactor is a man of color, maybe in his 30s. He is also British. And he is very impressed with “Sing Sing Sing (with a Swing)” as well he should be.
And he says, “The 40s must have been a great time to be alive…”
…
I figured they’d set him straight in the comments. Nah. Top one was the obligatory, “My dad raised me on Benny Goodman!” with a responder also wishing they could go back to the 1940s. The guy in the video goes on to say he wishes he had a time machine to go back…

Tomorrow is Let Papyrus say Fuck day so you can prepare for that if you want. You want some hot coco and a blanket?"
when someone finds something that really works on you and they go OH. and you can see their brain go ✨ and they do it again and again for the pleasure of watching your desire for them make you short-circuit
(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:
"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe.
