Congratulations to that random person on reddit for making one of the most creative insults I ever laid eyes on.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

bc of my crack fic people have been sending me every manner of Grinch x Tony the Tiger headcanon……who wants to hear the one that finally snapped me like a tennis player’s tendon

[deliriousdumbosdrinkingdilemma]

Please

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

ok so if the grinch and tony had a kid, it would probably be

have weird fur and an unsettling appearance (like the grinch)

be orange and into sports (tony)

so that child would be Gritty

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

I’ve never derived an iota of joy from this website and I truly don’t know why i’m still here

[yellowbuggie]

[yellowbuggie]

I am ashamed to say that I put a lot of effort into this….

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

holy. fucking. STARS.

[yellowbuggie]

Whoops my hand slipped….

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

how have you done this…..why have you done it…..

[yellowbuggie]

I can’t stop

[yellowbuggie]

Look at the kids run!

Happy Grinch Day, Chapter 4 of the GRINCH X TONY THE TIGER FIX-IT FIC is up!

Parent Trap but Gritty and the Lorax try to reunite Tony & the Grinch

[banana-the-hyena-deactivated202]

Everytime I see this thread show up on my dash it’s in more depth and more developed. I didn’t think we could reach these levels of insanity but here we are.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

buddy have you SEEN my tags:

#also the Lorax has ‘the’ in front of their name just like The Grinch so it’s a family thing  #WAIT WAIT WAIT  #this implies that after the breakup the Grinch raised the Lorax while Tony raised Gritty. Tony the Cereal Sports Mascot raised Gritty the Hockey Mascot. this makes Complete Sense  #Grinch likes solitude and nature and hates waste and commercialism–traits passed onto the Lorax  #Tony is obnoxiously extroverted and loves sports and is a Famous Pop Cultural Mascot. Gritty followed in his father’s footsteps…

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

it is painfully hysterical to me that people are encountering this fic completely at random without knowing the Relevant Tumblr Backstory behind it

[allyouneedislore]

This is just how tumblr is sometimes

[renard-des-marais]

[allyouneedislore]

Where is that from?

[thatswhywelovegermany]

The 13 1⁄2 Lives of Captain Bluebear is a 1999 fantasy novel by German writer and cartoonist Walter Moers which details the numerous lives of a human-sized bear with blue fur. The captain's name is originally a pun in German, based upon the fact that the German words for "bears" (Bären) and "berries" (Beeren) sound very much alike, whereas Blaubeere (lit. "blueberry") is actually the German word for bilberry (a number of other German cartoonists have made similar puns relating to bear names in their stories, including Rötger Feldmann aka Brösel), that a typical sailorish sailor is called an (old) seabear, and that sailors are prejudiced to be quite often blue, i.e. drunk. The novel was originally written in German, an English translation was published in the United Kingdom in 2000 and in the United States in 2005, an Italian translation in 2000, a Chinese translation in 2002, and a French translation in 2005. The novel attained considerable popularity in Germany and the United Kingdom while experiencing relative obscurity in the United States.

It has come to my knowledge that this book is relatively unknown in the United States. That must change. It is referencing so many pieces of literature history and world cultural tradition, bubbling over with phantasy and imagination, being hilariously comical at the same time, a must read for fantasy fans and literature geeks alike. Read the linked Wikipedia article to get a taste and get it as a hardcover or paperback.

It is continued by more novels about the continent of Zamonia: Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures, The City of Dreaming Books, The Alchemaster’s Apprentice, and The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books.

It’s a real game now! The manufacturer sent us 5 copies! The quality is amazing! Thank you all for making this game a reality! The games are currently being shipped from Poland to a fulfillment center in the US and the Czech Republic. If you preordered the game, you can expect to have it in your hands at the end of April (so far, the pandemic has not been impeding our schedule).

The print quality of the cards is superb. The photos don’t do it justice! The text is a bit blurry in the pictures, but it’s crystal clear!

[allyouneedislore]

Hahaha

[allyouneedislore]

The dudes in the 14th century already knew the concept of "thicc", it seems

[allyouneedislore]

Half of philosophy is someone profoundly thinking about human nature and the meaning of life for 50 years and then dying of diarrhea and the other half is random people uttering weirdly deep wisdom whilst drunk on parties

[allyouneedislore]

Language Textbooks are almost all like

"Sean calls Marie and asks for her birthday"

"Sean goes grocery shopping"

"Marie talks to her friends"

And then there are Latin Textbooks

"A drunk slave tries to violently rape Aquilia, so she calls her lover who cuts off the slave's dick and they shove it in his mouth and then have wild oral sex on the dirty ground whilst some people watch and throw rubbish at them, someone one alley over is kidnapped by pirates, two gay guys make out inside an emptied wine barrel, and a corrupt senator who attempts to plot an opponent's poisoning with his wife whom he has an affair with is stabbed in the eye by an assassin, all the while someone sits next to it and has some profound thoughts on the meaning of life whilst professionally watching someone's crucifixion"

[allyouneedislore]

Me: Types "thunk" instead of think once (1)

My phone, weeks later: "Ah, yes, thunk. Clearly he wanted to type he fucking "thunk" it."

[allyouneedislore]

I hate it su mucg when you make typis

[allyouneedislore]

The amount of set question particles within the German language must seem so weird for an outsider. Like there are...

Wer? - Who?

Wie? - How?

Wann? - When?

Wo? - Where?

Warum? - literally "around what", meaning "why?"

Woherum? - Also "around what", but literally

Womit? - With what?

Wem? - Whom?

Wen? - Also "who?", but accusative

Wessen? - Whose?

Weshalb? - On whose/which behalf?

Weswegen? - Because of what?

Was? - What?

Welche? - Which one? (Feminine)

Welcher? - Which one? (Masculine)

Welches? - Which one? (Neutral)

Wieviel? - How much?

Wieviele? - How many?

Wieso? - How so?

The Father/Daughter dynamic

[allyouneedislore]

Yes

[l-a-l-o-u]

of all the things arcane got right, let’s take a moment to appreciate the faces of the characters. the crooked noses…. the uneven lips…. the unflattering details of tooth gaps and fatigue lines… the animated creases in the skin… i simply think it deserves to be looked upon and appreciated

[allyouneedislore]

Yes. I will say it a thousand times,it's the believability of these characters, the sheer feeling of "this could be a real person" that makes this whole show feel so realistic - together with the atmosphere, of course.
