Calvin's parents decide to take a Hawai'ian vacation. They're not sure how much of it their son will tolerate but they would like to do at least a few things that involve sandy beaches and scenic cycling routes. They are therefore pleased when Calvin seems to make friends with a local girl about his own age and the two of them run off to play

Now, from Calvin's point of view what has happened is that he spotted actual aliens, and starts trying to bring this to the attention if the adults. But the tourists are like, "that's nice, go shoot 'em with your water gun, have a good time," and the locals are like, "yeah, they're an older couple who decided to retire here. Happens all the time." Eventually, it becomes clear that Spaceman Spiff is going to have to handle it himself.

From Lilo's point of view, Jumba and Pleakley are her gay uncles, do you mind? Calvin does mind, and so the two of them spend the rest of the afternoon terrorizing Kaua'i in the effort to destroy one another while the aliens alternate between bailing them out of trouble and attempting to escape.

Hobbes and Stitch, meanwhile, are calmly playing checkers and drinking non-alcoholic margaritas.

OP I’m sorry but the last sentence painted SUCH a vivid picture in my mind I had to draw it immediately.

[gholateg]

I love how Stitch looks more like a stuffed animal then Hobbes does.

This is perfect.

I want more villains who care about their henchmen. I wanna see the bad guy fly into a rage because the hero hurt their very favorite bungling goon and it was nearly his birthday.

[bogleech]

“how dare you fail me you miserable oafs!!” should be retired. “How DARE they bully my adorable oafs!!!” should be industry standard.

Underlings having to hold back their dark lord like an overprotective parent because they don’t really want a famous hero to get outright murdered just on their behalf.

[omnybus]

I had to draw something

[msjessmahler]

I don’t want to go ‘realism in fiction’ bc we all know how much of a dogwhistle that can be. But it really always bothers me that this isn’t the norm. Like, how the fuck do all these dark lords and evil empresses and what not keep any minions or lieutenants or what not around?

Literally, what is stopping them from just walking to Hero and going ‘I surrender, get me the hell away from this asshole!’ when most Heros will immediately turn them in a redemption story and all.

Like, how they hell do the villains keep anyone working for them without a solid health plan, 401K, and recreational facilities? Isn’t that the minimum. Has no one actually read Machiavelli?

[omnybus]

Indeed; one of my least favorite tropes is the whole “I don’t need you anymore” bit, where a villain backstabs a fellow villain working beneath them, which inevitably ends up with the betrayed villain aiding the heroes in order to spite the big bad.

Luckily, I can just draw something that cuts that bullshit out!

[rrainbowmagnet-deactivated20240]

[ID: A digital drawing of Murderbot, modeled after the "we have a city to burn" meme. The subtitles instead read "We have a station to burn". Murderbot is posing like Keanu Reeves in the meme, and is also dressed like him, except its inorganics are in different places and its dogtag necklace is just a pair of hard currency cards on a string. In the back is a glowing feed-communication pole with feed links extending outward from it. The background is brownish-orange and cloudy like on the cover of Artificial Condition, and there is a logo in the corner reading "Cyberpunk 7394". /.End ID]

This turned out way better than I thought it would.

I think the message of Howl’s Moving Castle is that in order to maintain a successful relationship with some kind of fucked up wizard, you must find it in yourself to also be some kind of fucked up wizard.

[oswald-privileges]

[prokopetz]

See, I don’t think that’s the case. Certainly, Sophie’s magic is often more practical than Howl’s, but if you think that the practicality of one’s magic is a reasonable measure of how good a fucked up wizard is at being a fucked up wizard, you don’t understand fucked up wizards.

[mstopportunity]

By some metrics, Sophie is a more fucked up wizard - Howl would never mess something up by accident! But here’s the thing, they complement each-other. Sophie is practically-oriented, but she’s not always competent to do what she intends, nor does she know what she’s doing. Howl always knows what he’s doing and why, and it’s usually useless bullshit for terrible reasons. Howl knows what he is intimately. He knows his strengths and his weaknesses and he knows that he’s got a spine like wet, single ply tissue paper. Sophie complements this by doing whatever it is she sets her mind to, but having exactly zero capacity for self-reflection (or if she does it’s through a funhouse mirror)

Your honor, they’re both a better fucked up wizard than the other, just how they’re supposed to be.

[writing-prompt-s]

You were born of a sacrilegious union. Your green dragon mom never figured the knight she seduced while masquerading as a noblewoman was a silver dragon in disguise. You’d no idea either, born a human orphan. When your dragon blood awoke, so did the dangers which all your heritage entails.

[worddevourer]

“I was born half dragon.”

“Oh shit, what’s the other half?”

“Different dragon.

#“i’m two halfs dragon” “that’s just being a whole dragon” “no”

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

[wolfnanaki]

So one of my tweets kinda blew up. :v

[wolfnanaki]

Okay so I really have no idea what’s triggered this post to blow up again over the past few days, but I really appreciate that so many people care about the conservation of wolves. Our natural world is beautiful and important, and we should do everything we can to protect it.

And BTW, for the people complaining about the last Tweet where I mentioned Democrats and Republicans…that was in the original article. I didn’t make anything more political than it already was. And anyway, it’s apt, so there.

[bunjywunjy]

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(

[bunjywunjy]

hnn I WANT IT SO BAD

[bunjywunjy]

on closer inspection, it makes a lot of really obnoxious noises and is also Too Expensive. BUT FEAR NOT I found this slightly smaller dude wedged in the back!

IT HAS BITE ACTION, AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS

[bunjywunjy]

now we enter the testing phase

yup. looks good.

Can we take a moment to appreciate that we can use this as a rosetta stone to say “EXTREME CHOMPIN’ “ in four languages?

OH SHIT YOU’RE RIGHT, let me check the garbage to see if it’s still there! hopefully I didn’t destroy it in my excitement

I saw that people are reblogging the thread again, so I thought I’d give you all an update on how Wexter is doing!

Wexter And The Case Of Her Continuing Marvelously Naughty Garden Adventures

OP and Wexter can break all my toes and I would still send a thank you card

[bunjywunjy]

Wexter says SHE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING (but she might chew your ankles a little bit maybe)

[bunjywunjy]

so it’s come to my attention that at some point this weekend Wexter blew past 100,000 notes, and I for one think that’s very cash money of her.

[bunjywunjy]

it’s been a few weeks, I suppose we should check up on the AHSGSHGAFB?!

ajdhf.

well that’s just,,,

REXCELLENT

[bunjywunjy]

[bunjywunjy]

HELL

YES

HELL

FUCKING

YES.

Nearing on 375K Notes!!! What in the Paleolithic are y'all gonna do when they top 400K?!

[bunjywunjy]

cry, probably

[splendentgoddess]

Reblogging to get you one note closer to crossing the 400k mark!

[subbyboymax]

IT’S TIME

[bunjywunjy]

YOU MANIACS. okay, here we go!

HAIL TO THE QUEEN

LONG MAY SHE REIGN!

(she was a skater Rex, she said see you later Rex, she’s finally hit 400k!)

[bunjywunjy]

we’re coming to you live from Halloween 2022, where Wexter continues to be ridiculously jawsome!

Flooding Memories

[fuzzballsheltiepants]

picturing the Perihelion crew after Peri returns from its cargo run and admits to having met a rogue SecUnit and helping it. they can hear the fondness in its undertones, and all exchange glances and secret smiles but let it go.

a couple weeks later, they've got a load of students and the news comes through about Milu, an abandoned terraforming situation they'd been keeping an eye on, with the GoodNightLander team freshly rescued by an unfamiliar SecUnit. the students are buzzing, but Peri doesn't comment and nobody on the crew thinks much of it, though it's certainly unusual to say the least.

then another few weeks pass, and there's a big newsburst about a non-corporate political leader getting abducted by a corporation, and yet another SecUnit involved in her rescue. Seth is like, "There sure are a lot of SecUnits in the news lately, Peri, must be making you miss your friend. I wonder what it's doing?"

And Peri is there, frantically stuffing the videos and stills of Murderbot pulled from the newsburst into a hidden storage folder titled ART+Murderbot4eva, going, hmm no idea. *whistles nonchalantly* Anyway, how about we go investigate this newly rediscovered lost system the corporates have their eye on? Surely there's nothing that could go wrong--
