i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they're like "uhm... translate? 😒" fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don't need to know what they're saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY
my Rafflesweek2024 sketches. I have the energy of a salted snail so cellphone photos of pencil sketches is the level we're at lately
Innocence: Really love the idea that Bunny taught Raffles how to smoke. Not based in canon, just funny
Admiration: Raffles has always been Bunny's biggest fan. Bunny has always been too critical to ever see it. (Raffles goes on to memorize Bunny's poem anyway)
Audacity: LOUD CHECKS AND BEARD LOUD CHECKS AND BEARD
If you notice, all these happened to be School Days. Somehow I couldn't help myself
i love the part of sophocles' ajax where odysseus very carefully, very diplomatically debates agamemnon, trying to convince him that ajax deserves a proper burial
some of my favourite lines:
AGAMEMNON:
Odysseus, are you for me or are you against me,
and for this man?
ODYSSEUS:
I hated him when it was honourable to hate him.
!!
ODYSSEUS:
He was my enemy, but he was also noble.
AGAMEMNON:
And you have respect for an enemy's corpse?
ODYSSEUS:
I am moved by admiration for his greatness,
rather than by hatred for his smallness.
AGAMEMNON:
He was a man of many turns.
ODYSSEUS:
Many of our friends later become enemies.
AGAMEMNON:
But do you wish to praise these so-called friends?
ODYSSEUS:
I do not see friends and enemies
as mutually exclusive.
and the finishing blow:
AGAMEMNON:
I see now that every man works for himself.
ODYSSEUS:
Who else should a man work for?
Then an old wife, Ioreth, the eldest of the women who served in that house, looking on the fair face of Faramir, wept, for all the people loved him. And she said: ‘Alas! if he should die. Would that there were kings in Gondor, as there were once upon a time, they say! For it is said in old lore: The hands of the king are the hands of a healer. And so the rightful king could ever be known.’

Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:
Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)
Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)
Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.
But in Japanese it scans as:
Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)
Psycho (short for psychic)
Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.
