If I could ask Rian Johnson one question about Glass Onion, it would be "Which came first: the idea that she sold sweatpants or the line 'did you think a sweatshop was just where they made sweatpants?'"

#This is actually a serious question #Like was he writing along having her make sweatpants and that was the best line for the scene?#Or when he was plotting out the movie brainstorming what her business could be did sweatpants win out bc he could use that joke #That wouldn't work if she sold crystals or Juiceros or whatever #glass onion spoilers #Glass Onion #knives out #knives out spoilers #birdie jay #post o' mine #rian johnson

Question on TS4 Agnes & Agatha Crumplebottom

Do they age and die? Or do they just live forever or get cloned like some unknown immortal occult mascots of Henford-on-Bagley and that’s why I had 3 of each of them at once with that duplicating bug a few months back?

I just don’t know how I would feel if they outlive my gen 1 legacy because Agnes seems to like making random appearances now and then. Like, does she gain immortal power from whacking romantic couples with her purse to help grant her immortality? And does Agatha gain her own immortal power from spreading love which in turn feeds Agnes? Is this the lore of Henford-on-Bagley? I haven’t played consistently long enough yet to find out. 😅

#sims 4 #TS4 #this is actually a serious question #i’m trying to mentally prepare on what to expect

I gotta be honest if some random guy approached me in the street and asked me to tell him my paranormal trauma I'd literally just tell him? Like he wouldn't have to compel me I'd like to share. Free therapy for me, free story for him! Not my problem if it feeds an otherworldly overlord.

#Conversations with strangers can be great! I once spent a whole bus ride chatting with an old man and he told me all about his sons birth!#It had suspiciously similar details to my own birth but you know what that's not my problem!#Talking with strangers is great. Tell them your trauma‚ spread the horror‚ don't ask questions‚ don't complain to their institute.#(it's actually a wonder that I haven't been killed yet why the fuck do I do this stuff??)#tma #the magnus archives #the magnus institute #jonathan sims #tma memes #tma season 4 #mag 142 #Oh also this is very okay to reblog!! It's not me being serious about real trauma or whatever 😌

If you could only show someone one episode of any Star Trek series what episode would you pick? :)

That one where Spock's tits are huge and it looks like he just forgot to wear his binder

#in all seriousness this is a very difficult question I'll be real #there are a lot of episodes i adore and a lot i think are really important?#baseline everyone should watch trouble with tribbles even if they never watch another episode #but i like showing journey to babel to my friends and freaking out.#but that's just TOS!#there are so many tng eps people should watch (data episodes mostly lmao) and the entirety of ds9 is just. augh.#i think my serious answer despite it all would be the first ep of ds9 actually though. ik it's a two parter #but it's just such a beautiful introduction to what might be the best show I've ever seen #and the topics it touches on are handled phenomenally

Do you think anyone who likes or watches Attack On Titan is a facist by association?

it's absolutely crazy to me that you seem to expect me to have a valuable answer to this question to the point of sending it multiple times over a span of months LOL. i don't know what to tell you friend, i would say "no" because the belief system you've described is absolutely bonkers but that would in and of itself be making more of a statement than i'd ever want to make in regards to this show i have absolutely zero investment in. i don't go here. i have no clue why you have asked me this. you gotta take this conversation to someone who cares! quick!!

#also i am legitimately deleting any actual answers to this question in my replies #i don't want to be within 20 miles of any serious conversation anyone could be having about this and i'm so for real about that

non-lgbt neurotypicals after a successful day of telling neurodivergent queer people that their headcanons are secretly ableist and anti-lgbtq

#“autism is a serious condition not a personality trait 🥺 you can't just call everyone autistic” and then the character is like sherlock #i see it a lot for trans headcanons too (im cis so don't have many but like why tf are people trying to cancel trans people for transphobia)#byler #ronance #robin buckley #<- the autism gays in question #autism #actually autistic #lgbtq #lesbian #trans #gay #neurodivergent #wednesday addams #bbc sherlock #abed nadir #(for some examples ive seen when they're literally so autism coded if not canon autistic argue with the wall)

fake psychic Tim but its just. its just psych. Jason dies and batman goes off the deep end so Tim (instead of becoming robin) starts going ham on the 'tips to the police' bc if the police can deal with the smaller crimes then Tim doesn't have to worry about batman killing a petty thief.

Except he's running himself into the ground and he starts getting sloppy bc he's giving the local police info, and bludhaven info (bc dick) AND probably giving Nightwing info when he can and someone catches him or he leaves a paper trail and then Officer Dick Grayson apprehends him and takes him in for questioning and Tim is like "you can't talk to me without my parents or a lawyer present, I'm a minor. And my parents are in Guatemala, so you better call my lawyer."

and Dick is like "kid you're not in trouble i just need to know who's giving you this information." Because there is NO WAY this kid isn't working with someone. Someone who is using a child to drop off information, which while noble to help the police, is putting this child in danger and tim is like, pretty offended actually. That it's being implied that he COULDN'T do this himself.

So he's like "im not working for anyone."

and Dick is like "you have to be getting the info from somewhere. I just wanna help."

and Tim is like AUGH ADULTS "I just- i figured it out on my own" and its CLEAR that Dick doesn't believe him which is, first off, super insulting, never meet your heroes, and second he shouldn't be talking anyway or admit that he goes out at night or Dick will do something stupid like try to make him stop. So he's like (rolling eyes) "I'm psychic. Are you happy? Can I have my phone call now?"

#batman #tim drake #Cue Dick ALMOST not buying it but he's like 'okay kid'#if you're psychic prove it.#And Tim is like oh he thought i was serious??? Uh #“you're favorite animal is a bat.“ And Dick looks at him confused but then sorta pales a little and is like ”... what.”#and tim is like “and you really like nighttime... walks.”#And Dick like turns off the recording and is like “kid what are you saying to me”#and Tim is like “I know you're Nightwing. The ... spirits told me.”#and honestly it's more believable that a 12 year old kid is psychic than that he figured out who Nightwing was on his own #ted talks #anyways lots of fun hijinks can ensue. Tim is technically a security rick and even though dick REALLY doesn't wanna talk to bruce #he should tell him about this... psychic child #Which can just be more questions and Tim answering them and is like #if i wasn't psychic how would i know this.#and Bruce.... doesn't know. So they have no choice but to believe him #psych tim au #also including: bruce being like “.... can you tell my son (jason) i love him?”#tim would actually be pretty good on the field with moments notice observations #he's been trained his whole life to read people at parties and know what they want from him and what they mean #regular people are MUCH easier to read than the elite who say everything backhanded and all have like poised masks of perfection #raye was telling me their psychic tim au and i was like 'ok but what if just psych'#catch us out here both writing separate fake psychic tim aus

How do you see the first year after Vlad x Danny wedding? (Let's consider, they have married when Danny was 20)

As addition, whom can Vlad invite for the wedding? I know it depends on is it the ghost or the human wedding but anyway.

Would their wedding be a secret? Or headlines would shout, "One of the richest men has married... on a guy!" ? (Alt. "Phantom and Mayor Masters' relationship is confirmed: THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED!")

🏆 Vlad is a showy guy when it comes to public opinion (e.g., bragging about his charitable works, anything that stokes his popularity), but he’s also extremely private about his personal life. For this reason, I think he’d keep his wedding to Danny secret and simple. Marriage license, officiator, small gathering of maybe five people, I do, I do, and done. Light refreshments, champagne and oysters, a small cake. Ceremony performed in his backyard or—perhaps more appropriately—Lambeau Field, home stadium of the Green Bay Packers. Maybe a few fireworks as a surprise. Nothing too wild.

👻 Vlad doesn’t seem to have the best opinion of—or relationship with—the ghosts in the Ghost Zone, so I don’t see Skulker or the Vultures getting an invite, or a Ghost Zone wedding happening at all.

💍 Whether Jack or Maddie approve of this wedding is the big question. I honestly can’t see them ever in a million years approving of their former college friend marrying their only son—unless they were aware of both Vlad and Danny being half ghosts.

“Your son is never going to die,” Vlad tells them gently, maybe during the meeting where he asks for Jack and Maddie’s blessing to marry Danny. “Forever is a long path for Daniel to travel alone. But it doesn’t have to be. Not if you allow me to be with him. I have the means and the resources to see that he is always taken care of. I have a raft of investments locked in place that will ensure my fortune perpetuates for the next several hundred years. With me, Daniel will always have a roof over his head, a place to call home, and someone who loves him. Dearly. Until the end of the time. I mean that in the most literal sense.”

Jack and Maddie are stunned silent for several moments.

“What’s the point of asking us?” Jack finally mutters. “Once Maddie and I die, you can do whatever you want. We won’t be able to stop you.”

“It matters to Daniel. And I love him. That’s why I’m asking you.”

They still don’t like it, but facts are facts, and scientists appreciate that more than they do good intentions. Another thing they appreciate is truth, and Vlad’s soft words and earnest face have convinced them of his honesty.

Jack and Maddie share a tearful look, clasping each other’s hands, before turning to Vlad.

“Okay,” Maddie croaks. “Just—promise us he’ll stay in school.”

“At least an Associate’s degree,” Jack adds.

“Don’t turn him into a spoiled brat.”

“Trade school certificate, bare minimum.”

A baffled pause, then Vlad laughs. “You have my word. By the end of the century, Daniel will have more degrees than a thermometer.”

The Fentons release a pair of relieved sighs.

They can handle their son being an immortal entity, but not an uneducated one.

#asks #danny phantom #pompous pep #vlad masters #danny fenton #vlad plasmius #jack fenton #maddie fenton #ficlet #hjbwrites #sorry anon i got a little too serious there for a minute 😆#and damn it i never actually answered your first question oops #wedding day + 365? danny would be in an ivy league college somewhere #while vlad maybe helps the fentons on some ghost tech #and tries to stay out of trouble in the ghost zone #ghost shenanigans still going on in amity park so the adventure never ends #god i just realized jazz would be vlad's sister in law 🤯

my gender is like meat leaf i think. boy materials in the structure of girl. like im a girl made out of boy things but not in a transman way like i like being female im just. a girl-leaning boygirl. maybe??

#u dont understand ive been insisting to all of my friends for like 6 years that im NOT a trans man #i cannot be proven wrong at this point i'll lose it #and anyways im not actually a guy #im definitely a girl just like. a type of girl that scientists haven't discovered yet #and that sounds like a joke but im soooo fucking serious #im a fucking student geneticist dude #i think theres some autosomal gene (or probably multiple) that regulate gender in convoluted ways #probably linked and i think there's probably multiple types of fem and masc genders not to mention non fem OR masc genders #codominant? incomplete dominance? is it different on different scales?#its a completely possible and furthermore plausible concept like from my perspective it'd be really weird if gender genetics weren't a thing #i think theyve already lowkey been proven to be a thing cause of that paper comparing trans brains to cis brains #& finding a link where trans men had a certain section that was the same as cis men #and that same section in trans women was the same in cis women #its an OLD study too #anyways i want to research this one day but i also dont because i dont trust humanity with that information #but if i found proof that it exists maybe it could seriously back trans people with scientific evidence #not that they should fucking NEED it testimony should be fucking good enough #ive been bio obsessed since i was born and im a natural skeptic #but when i was 11 i asked a trans person i knew like 2 fucking questions and they answered me and i was like 'yeah this makes sense'#figured anything that didnt make sense was just something i didnt understand yet #and now that im older and in college level biology and genetics classes i know i was right #it would be really really weird if trans people didnt exist did you know that? all the kinds too like nb genderfluid agender genderq demi #i dont fucking care it makes SENSE #'nonbinary' was a good term to adopt because it really just fits perfectly #nothing in biology is ever ever ever truly binary especially not a neurological and psychological phenomenon #especially not in a species with a brain so overly complex and tangled up like HOMO SAPIENS??#are you kidding?? the fact that we even have a concept of art and music let alone have talents and passions for them is proof alone dude #that shit doesn't help us survive its a modified version of pattern recognition and uncanny valley #combine that shit with the fact that intersex people exist?? like #nonbinary gender is literally the combination of intersexuality and human neurology

Here is another science fact that I love:

If you put rats in a bare cage with no companionship, plain food and water, and a bottle of cocaine, 100% of them will become addicted to cocaine.

If you put rats in a cage full of entertainment and friends, with exciting food, and a bottle of cocaine, only about 30% of rats will touch the drug after their first attempt.

For most creatures, it is only when nothing else in their life is stimulating that drugs are an attractive option.

(And yes, the cocaine was inside those hamster sippy bottles)

citation

#science facts #rat park #drugs usually are used when people's lives have serious problems #it's not a moral failing it's a social one #the question is actually how can you make their lives so awesome that they don't want to take drugs #addiction

Everyone keeps pairing Danny up with the bat kids and I'm not even a shipper, but.

Pair him up with Steph,

Cowards.

#i am being 100% serious #Everyone says they don't care about the gender just the vibes #Okay well hear the vibes!! Steph and Danny would be THE MOST sarcastic chaos gremlins EVER #You KNOW that #They would be Literally unstoppable. They would enable and ride or die support each other NO questions asked #The shenanigans would be off the charts!!#B narrowly avoids them as they speed cackling past and then again as Jason sprints after them howling murder #'what have you two even done?'#*thermos rattles* 'oh we stole his pit rage!! Steph said it'd be best if we did it early morning cause no ones actually awake then lol'#*sound of heavy footsteps crashing into the kitchen and immediately getting soundly scolded by Alfred*#'that'll be him! I asked Alfie to have his fave cookies ready to help calm him down but I think Damien got there first...'#'popcorn?' 'POPCORN' *Steph holds up a peace sign as Danny phases her invisible and through the floor. Making eye contact the whole time #The MEMES. The IRREVERENCE. The unrelenting sarcastic optimism. The only thing would be getting cass' approval #She would so thrash Danny in a fight and while sitting on him hum in acceptance and then he wakes up next day with a new telescope on him #danny phantom #danny fenton #dp x dc #dc x dp #batman #batfam #steph brown #dc spoiler #black bat #cassandra cain #bruce wayne #Again I'm not a shipper I just spy SHENANIGANS #dc comics #What would you even call dead Spoiler? Red herring? Ghost writer? Death of the author? ASDFGHJKL MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH

Theory time! (again)

What if Hobie also have powers that most spider-people don't?

When I first saw the this scene I thought it was supposed to symbolise Hobie havning a similar power to Miles, as he was able to break the barrier when the other spider-people couldn't! (Though this could also be because Miles loosened it like he mentioned himself!)

Having watched the movie several times now I'm not as convinced that this is the case, BUT it would also explain how Hobie knew that Miles could use his powers more efficiently if he used his palms and not just his fingers; if Hobie had a similar power he would know how it works!

(Another theory could be that Hobie is using a shockwave from his guitar to break the shield like shown when he introduces himself, though he also appears to have some giant speakers behind him in that scene).

ALSO: At first I thought it was just part of the way Hobie was animated, but I heard someone mention it in a youtube video and now I wanna bring it up too:

Can Hobie teleport?

If we look at the first GIF of him telling Miles to use his palms we can clearly see him suddenly appear much closer to Miles than before!

And in the next shot he appears to be back where he stood before! He actually does something similar another time:

I did not remove anything between these scenes, Hobie literally goes from lying on his back to behind the corner (top left) in a second. And once Peter B appears he's now behind Miles and Gwen (who have both turned 180 degrees to face Peter!) (I uploaded the video to better show what I mean)

Again this might purely be due to the way he's animated and the fact that he doesn't believe in consistency but I think it's fun to speculate nonetheless!

#This theory isn't super serious but speculating and comming up with theories is just so much fun #stay tuned for my next big theory post: is hobie left handed?!?#jk jk #but that is a serious question though #cause he wears his watch on his right arm #so maybe?#idk how to play the guitar though so I don't know if there's a way to tell be the way he's playing?#maybe he's ambidextrous? it would kinda fit him actually lol #hobie brown #spider punk #across the spider verse #atsv #across the spiderverse #across the spider verse theory #miles morales #my post #my gifs #my gif #my video
