shit that actually happens in pokemon:
a giant castle rises from the ground around the main government building. this is basically peta’s fault.
you ride a dragon-god into space to fight a meteor alien. this is plan b. plan a was to send the meteor alien to another dimension.
one guy tries to get rid of the oceans. one tries to get rid of dry land. What Happens Next Will Shock You.
a dude jumps straight out of the water onto an evil pirate ship, lowers the gangplank, then swims off to let a teenager deal with it.
there is a 1/3 chance that a runaway 11-year-old yakuza/mafia prince broke into a laboratory to steal an adorable plant creature.
you can buy a useless fish for several thousand yen from a shady salesman. this is actually a very good investment.
the devil, the god of death and the bringer of eternal nightmares all really really really like cake.
the space cultists would have won if dragon lucifer hadn’t showed up.
god is a goat, and if you take it to the right place, it will make you a baby god.
the most powerful trainer in the world (a 14-year-old with a pet rat) went up a frozen mountain for no apparent reason. he only comes down after you beat up his rat. this is absurdly difficult.
the effective ruler of the unova region is a magical catgirl space princess with a bunch of pet dragons.
there’s a nine foot tall guy wandering around. his height is the least interesting thing about him. and his best friend is a flower fairy.
more
a 10 year old destroys the yakuza (and then another 10 year old destroys its remnants a few years later)
there’s multiple professors who study subjects they have no fucking clue about. they’re still considered experts for some reason.
bikes cost a gajillion dollars but you actually WERE the 1 millionth customer and get one for free anyways.
a woc orphan gets a suit that basically makes her a super hero. This is never followed up ojn
a random guy with a bad accent in a brown trenchcoat is the sole police officer seen in the series. no i mean literally, there ARE NO OTHER POLICE its just him, he keeps showing up. All the others you might think were police are just security guards.
same police officer fights a pokemon with his fists at one point
in a previous game a dragon hits a person with a laser and this is a good thing
Psychic powers are totally real and common as dirt
ghosts are real too but they’re mostly goobers
fossils are resurrected ala jurassic park all the time
people can read dreams
teleportation and matter to energy conversion is so common place it’s used for minor conveniences
an ancient civilization 10000 years old used braille as their alphabet
you can visit the underworld
There is now another police officer. He lives next to a town overrun by a gang, with his fifteen cats.

Guys do centaurs have to eat both horse food and human food?
Centaur, eating out of a burlap sack of hay like it’s potato chips: So do you guys wanna get Chipotle later?
Centaur: *kneeling on the ground, ripping up bits of grass and eating it*
Nearby horse: *neighs*
Centaur: Well it’s easy for you to bend over, isn’t it?
Horse: *snorts*
Centaur: *through a mouthful of grass* Well goody goody for you, but some of us have two spines.
Human: Hey does somebody want the rest of my burger?
Centaur: Oh I’ll have it. I am starving.
Human: Didn’t you just eat like an entire barrel of hay?
Centaur: *snatches the burger* That was for the horse stomach not the human one. Don’t be racist, Carl.
DON’T BE RACIST CARL
That spine comment made me reevaluate my life
Two spines, two ribcages, and six limbs baby! And a tail! Four shoulders!
This picture makes my intellectual half happy but also causes me great pain

Shoes are great!! Don’t be afraid! Have fun!
Me at the released image of Venom
It’d really suck if I got ice or water-themed superpowers. I’d have to wear blue and white and gray instead of the reds and oranges I prefer.
wear the reds and oranges and pull an iceland/greenland on em
“I have cornered you in this aquarium, where your fire powers are useless!”
“Fire powers? Dude, I’m an ice hero. I freeze shit and manipulate water. Also, I love aquariums. Thanks for the free entry!”
“But… you’re dressed like Guy Fieri…?”
“Yeah haha. I have an autumnal complexion.”
Also, no superhero should have a name that gives away the power set. Misdirection - “Get him, Lasereye!” “Haha, my mirror will deflect your, wait, why are you made of stone now?”
They call him laser eye because he once blinded himself with a laser pointer and it was the funniest shit they’d ever seen
This is my cup of tea.
The Perry Bible Fellowship is the perfect middle between the whimsy and the morbid. And it has been since 2001 when its creator Nicholas Gurewitch drew the first strip. Nicholas describes his style as “the clarity of obscurity”, and his work is a real treat to all the dark(er) souls out there. (Source)
OH MY GOD THE RABBIT ONE
I’m bloody scarred for life
THE GREATEST JOKE ADVENTURE TIME HAS EVER WRITTEN
People like to make fun of animators but jokes on them…
WHY’D YALL LEAVE OUT THE BEST ONE?
Can’t forget this gem.
You can’t go to parties w your white friend man
That’s a great way to ruin your friendship.
Cuz they hit you up like
“Hey, dude, go to my bro’s party with me this weekend.”
And you think it’s a lil weird, and you like “oh ion know man, that’s not really-”
But they like
“No, man, trust me. It’ll be fun.”
So, you go.
You get to the lawn, and all you see is white folks, far as the eye can see.
So, now you standing on the sidewalk like
But your homie like
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
So, yall go in. The music not that great, but they got bottles on bottles on bottles, so you cool. Yall ain’t even been there an hour, and you already kinda toasted.
And that’s when shit start going south.
So, you chillin on the couch with the only other black person there.
He seems cool enough. And that’s when it happens.
You just sitting there, shooting the shit, and you hear
“You don’t even know what you’re talking about, nigga”
And everything stops.
So, you sitting there like
And buddy next to you keeps talking like nothing happened.
So you’re like “whoa, whoa. did you hear what she said?”
And he’s like “Who her?”
“–Yeah man she cool though. She the homie.”
“Anyway–”
So now, you just sitting there like
You mad as hell, but you don’t see your homie nowhere, and she your ride.
So, you like ‘lemme get up and find her, I gotta get out of here.’
You walk around for a few minutes, and then you catch her eye
And then, the music changes
“We’re gonna skate to one song and one song only. Ball so hard mfs wanna fine me”
So they all screaming and fist pumping and you just looking around like
And your friend across the room, drunk af, lookin at you like
“i’m so sorry”
Luckily, they all too busy in the mosh pit to rap along to Jay Z part
So, you sitting there like
Then Ye part come on and they like
“What’s gucci, my nigga?”
“Got my niggas in Paris!”
“These other niggas is lyin’”
So, you had enough.
You get to your friend like
“Sober up, hoe, we goin’ home.”
So, now, you in the car with your newly ex homie like
She tryna apologize and shit.
“I’m just so sorry. I had no idea they–”
“Naw, just get me home, man.”
You get home and get to the front door like
“Never gon forgive that hoe for this.”
So , you see her at school the next day. She like
“Oh… Hey.”
You like
“Sup”
She like
“Omg, I tried to call you all night. I had no idea. That was not cool.”
And you flip like
“Bitch, you damn right that shit wasnt cool! Fuck you even have me in there for? These mfs in there sayin nigga this, nigga that. Knowin damn well the whole function looked like a mfn scantron w two of the fuckin bubbles filled in”
Now everybody in the hallway staring at you like
Now, you like
So, like yeah. I’m not saying I;m speaking from experience or whatever. But don’t ever go to a party w your white friend

Wild Wild Pussycats Full Version
The Titanoboa, is a 48ft long snake dating from around 60-58million years ago. It had a rib cage 2ft wide, allowing it to eat whole crocodiles, and surrounding the ribcage were muscles so powerful that it could crush a rhino. Titanoboa was so big it couldn’t even spend long amounts of time on land, because the force of gravity acting on it would cause it to suffocate under its own weight.
I’m so glad they aren’t around
omg me too. I’m scared enough of 26 ft long anacondas. I’m so happy Megalodons, those giant sharks, aren’t alive either
Praise natural selection
I remember watching Walking with Beasts or something similar, or some British tv show about evolution
The subject was something like a 12 foot long water scorpion
I was so startled by its sudden appearance and narration that I yelped: “12 fucking feet?!?! I’m fucking glad it’s extinct!”
Dude, prehistory was home to some fucking TERRIFYING creatures. For some reason, everything back then was enormous and scary. Extinction doesn’t always have to be a bad thing!
And Poppy, what you saw was an arthropod known as Pterygotus (it was actually featured in Walking With Monsters). Not only was it as big (or maybe even bigger) than your average human, it had a stinger the size of a lightbulb. REALLY glad that bugger isn’t around anymore.
Also, Megalodon deserves to be mention again, because just hearing its name makes me want to never be submerged in water ever again.
GOD, I HATE THIS POST. HOW DO WE EVEN KNOW THAT SHIT ISN’T STILL AROUND? LURKING? EVOLVING? WE DON’T. WE DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT SHIT DOWN THERE. THE OCEAN IS A PRIMEVAL HELLSCAPE NIGHTMARE AND WE ALL JUST DIP OUR STUPID FRAGILE UNPROTECTED FETUS BODIES AROUND THE EDGES OF IT LIKE THAT’S NORMAL. FUCK THE OCEAN.
this is so relevant to my interests
It wasn’t just the predators. North Carolina was once home to giant ground sloths…
THAT IS A GODDAMNED LEAF-EATING SLOTH.
We’ve got a skeleton of one of these fuckers at the museum downtown, and man, just being NEAR it is unsettling.
DON’T FORGET PREHISTORIC WHALES, SOME OF THOSE FUCKERS WERE TERRIFYING
AMBULOCETUS WAS AMPHIBIOUS AND PRETTY BADASS
BASILOSAURUS WAS THIS GIANT REPTILIAN CETACEAN THAT PROBABLY SWAM LIKE A DUMB EEL BECAUSE OF ITS TINY FLUKES BUT THIS FUCKER WAS 60 FEET LONG AND AT THE TOP OF THE MARINE FOOD CHAIN
AND THEN THERE’S MY FAVORITE, ZYGOPHYSETER, WHICH WAS THIS HUGE EARLY SPERM WHALE THAT ATE SHARKS AND OTHER WHALES
IT WAS NOTHING BUT TEETH
The reason why the animals in the prehistoric times were so big was because there was much more oxygen in the atmosphere if I recall correctly. Because there was so much oxygen and so few carbon gasses, life on earth was able to grow to terrifying lengths and heights, don’t forget how giant the bugs were.
I have never seen so much prime nope in a single post
Also important to note that megalodon is theorized to still be alive,possibly living in the darkest depths of the ocean. They haven’t found signs of its extinction
scientists: “we haven’t seen a megalodon in quite some time now, let’s just hope it’s exstinct”
I still think it’s hilarious that the reason nobody ever figures out Superman’s secret identity or where he lives or what he does when he’s not saving the planet, is because he already told them all the Kryptonian stuff that can’t be tied to any of his human friends or family. I guarantee you the in-universe wikipedia article on Superman lists his name as Kal-El and the “personal life” section says that he lives full-time at his private fortress of solitude at the north pole. Nobody in the world looks at Clark Kent and thinks “oh my god, maybe he’s superman!” for the same reason nobody ever starts to suspect that their coworker who looks KINDA like Barack Obama is actually secretly Barack Obama – They know who Barack Obama is and know what he does and they know their coworker Greg is Greg and not Barack Obama. They have no reason to assume Barack Obama secretly moonlights as Greg The IT Guy at their workplace even though they’ve never seen Greg and Obama in the same place. At best, “Greg is secretly Obama” would be a running joke at the office, and the same is true at the Daily Planet. “Kal-El of Krypton, who lives in a CRYSTAL PALACE at the NORTH POLE and whose dayjob is SUPERMAN, sometimes puts on a suit and pretends to be a clumsy reporter and lives in a one-bedroom walkup in Metropolis” is a ridiculous concept to anyone who doesn’t already know it’s true
[From Max Landis’ amazing “American Alien” series about Superman.] SO GOOD
SCREAM 👏🏻 IT 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 BACK 👏🏻 SO EVERYONE 👏🏻 CAN 👏🏻 HEAR
His shit eating grin in the last one sells it
I love the idea of Clark Kent turning up to every office Halloween party in an ill-fitting Superman costume from Target.
Still one of my favorite clips from Superman: The Animated Series.
This has gotten bigger since I last saw it ant that’s FANTASTIC
Henry Cavill literally once stood in Time Square, in a superman t-shirt, under a giant poster of himself and no one recognised him, even though he was actively trying to be recognised.
I’ve never seen this post but it just became my favorite post on the internet
Wanna know the kicker?
In the first chapter of JLA’s “Divided We Fall Arc” both Clark and Bruce reveal their civilian identities to the rest of the League. This is post “Tower of Babel” where nobody but Clark still trusts Batman, and in order to start building trust again, Clark urges Bruce to unmask himself to the rest of the team because Bruce obviously knows who everyone else is. Bruce agrees on one condition, Clark has to “unmask” himself as well.
When the big reveal goes down, Kyle Rayner says it best re: Clark being Superman: “He doesn’t…wear a mask. I never even…thought he had a…day job…”
That’s right, the canon reason why nobody makes the connection between Superman and Clark Kent is because nobody thinks that Superman HAS a civilian identity.
Also, with a really good actor, Clark Kenting is entirely possible, as Christopher Reeve demonstrates in the 1978 Superman film.
There was actually a story where a scientist at Lexcorp developed a computer program to analyse all available evidence and work out who Superman is
It figured out he was Clark…and Lex fired the scientist for wasting company resources because he COULDN’T BELIEVE that Superman would ever “Pretend” to be human because it would mean pretending to be “Weak”
90% of Superman’s disguise is everyone else doing the work for him
the best secret identity of all.
the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu

Blood is thicker than water The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
Meaning that relationships formed by choice are stronger than those formed by birth.
Let’s not forget that “Jack of all trades, master of none” ends with “But better than a master of one.”
It means that being equally good/average at everything is much better than being perfect at one thing and sucking at everything else. So don’t worry if you’re not perfect at something you do! Being okay is better!
These made me feel better
Also, “great minds think alike” ends with “but fools rarely differ”
It goes to show that conformity isn’t always a good thing. And that just because more than one person has the same idea, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good idea.
what the fuck why haven’t i heard the full version to any of these
“Birds of a feather flock together” ends with “until the cat comes.”
It’s actually a warning about fair-weather friends, not an assessment of how complementary people are.
I’ve always felt like these were cut down on purpose.
I really like these phrases and plan on spreading this knowledge.
The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I want to make designs out of these.
Funny how all the half-finished ones encourage uniformity and upholding the status-quo, while the complete proverbs encourage like…living exciting, eclectic lives driven by choice and personal passion.
The legendary thread is back
