Car Trunk vs Car Boot: A clear win for US English, trunk was already a thing in which you stored items, frequently for transport.

Crisps vs Chips: I gotta admit, the Brits have this one. They're thin slices of potato that have been made crispy. No chipping of any materials involved.

Car Park vs Parking Lot: Equally matched. What's a car park? A place to park cars. What's a parking lot? An otherwise empty lot where you can park.

Elevator vs Lift: Both equally fail to address that the damn thing also goes down.

(438) Megatron (any) becomes aware that he, and all the characters around him, are playing out roles in a story and recognises its format (live action film, cartoon series, comic, etc.).

Anyone else might have a breakdown, but not Megatron. He immediately comes to terms with the metatext and becomes dangerously genre-savvy.

'I'm the villain, and the villain is supposed to lose in this format — but I can tell a certain kind of story,' he realises, 'I can force the text to let me win.'

It all goes pear-shaped from there.

[absolutely-esme]

It only really requires that Megatron winning not be dependent on the Good Guys losing. Factoring in that this story is written for a human audience, that means behavior toward tiny, vulnerable organics is decidedly relevant.

Magical Girl Anime where the magical girl has the angst and is put into Situations™, BUT the main character is the mascot who is trying so hard to be a support system for this poor, unfortunate child.

#Mascot's Guide to taking care of your Magical Girls#Now whether to end it with the girl graduating successfully from being a magical girl#or failing and getting a bad end is up to you#but I prefer good end#Mascot could also have multiple magical girls under their care

= additional thoughts from OP's tags

[absolutely-esme]

Most magical girl shows have the mascot recruiting the girl to help with something. Maybe in this one, the mascot could've handled it on their own, but the kid couldn't trust help that wasn't transactional and desperately needed a bit of empowerment, so the mascot came up with a way she could help so that she'd let them provide a safe place for her.

someone from 1997 wished me good luck. it’s like someone from so many years back knows your struggles and i just, i think i’m gonna cry

reblogging for luck from friend in 1997

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m kinda surprised that nalbinding isn’t as popular as crochet and knitting tbh because it has an even lower barrier of entry tools wise and unlike crochet and knitting it makes fabric that you can cut.

I guess it’s because it’s slower or something.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Nalbinding aka needle binding is when you use yarn and a big sewing needle to make fabric btw

It also has a lot of different kinds of stitches you can do that make different densities of fabric.

Some people even make rugs.

[thewolfwaitsbelow]

I feel like part of it might be casual people are generally aware of the existence of crochet and knitting, even if they don’t know very much about either, but have never heard of nalbinding

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah I hadn’t heard of it until recently and I ordered a big bone needle for myself to try it out and that should be arriving soon.

I was surprised that I’d never heard of it though. It’s older than knitting and crocheting and even though it’s been done all over the world it’s super relevant to Nordic culture and my grandmother and I are both into keeping in touch with our roots a bit so I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it.

It seems like the sort of thing that would be popular even if not as popular as crocheting and knitting, considering the low barrier of entry.

[what-even-is-thiss]

You also don’t need a bunch of different sized needles for nalbinding or whatever. The size of the stitch is controlled either completely freehand or by pulling it against one of your fingers. Most people who have a lot of nalbinding needles seem to either have tried out wood, bone, and metal ones to see which kind they liked or they enjoy carving wood or bone and like making their own needles as an extra hobby.

It’s also a lot easier to freehand and adjust as you go than crochet or knitting and you mostly go by inches instead of rows and number of stitches so a large number of accessories like stitch markers or whatever isn’t really necessary.

Maybe the lack of accessories also makes it unpopular idk. People do like collecting things in their nests.

[the-color-of-sound-is-space]

I've been wanting to do so, I cannot find anyone who can teach me, and any books I can find on it are Ass in the Visual Learning department. Otherwise I'd be making the hell outta some nalbinded fabric

[what-even-is-thiss]

I found this channel by a nice man who makes up close tutorials

Happy Needlebinding

I create videos on YouTube to learn people how to needlebind using two fingers and your thumb. Needlebinding helps people to relax, relieve

[what-even-is-thiss]

I thought this would be kind of a niche post to make but I was quickly reminded that I’m on tumblr, the website full of gay people with one billion hobbies.

[homunculus-argument]

Those who think that wisdom and whimsy are mutually exclusive have neither. It's vitally important to do the right thing when the consequences are dire, and to do a whole bunch of utterly frivolous silly dumb shit when it doesn't matter what you do.

[localcryptidsteg]

Often, the wise thing must be disguised as silly frivolous dumb shit in order to actually work

[homunculus-argument]

Nobody's going to let you do anything if they think it's actually going to work.

Sometimes annoying things loop back around into being funny

Any instance of someone trying to argue against the superhero no-kill rule tends to strike me as either childish or mean spirited, but it is outright hilarious when people try it with Danny Phantom.

Like, ignoring any more serious arguments revolving around the use of lethal force, you went and picked the one story where there's no conceivable way for killing to be a problem-solving strategy.

Most of his enemies are ghosts. They cannot be killed. They're already dead. Even for those of his enemies who are still alive (and thus capable of being killed), the surrounding circumstances are such that killing them won't necessarily make them stop being a problem and may, in fact, make them more dangerous.

It's silly enough to insist on superheroes using lethal force to begin with (in much the same way it would be silly to insist on a lack of scary stuff in a horror story), but trying to do that in a scenario where the context eliminates the applicability is just absurd.

[jelicatessen]

PHM means so much to me as a scientist because for once, a movie celebrates the wonder of science and human capability, of morality without throwing anyone (not even Stratt!!!) under the bus, it celebrates our ability to collaborate and come together when we need to, it celebrates teachers and scientists as people we can aspire to be like, it celebrates the love of learning and curiosity, and in a time where anti-intellectualism is so rampant, it's everything the world needs to remember that being smart and being passionate and being brave is what the world needs to grow
