They are def colourblind and think they got matching outfits.

Colorblind mario and luigi has interesting implications regarding mario kart shell usage.

after a suicide attempt in 2016

holyisthenameofmyruthlessaxe

“When Daddy comes in, he carries you to bed. Is there anything you feel like you could eat, Pokey? Anything at all? All you can imagine putting in your mouth is a cold plum, one with really tight skin on the outside but gum-shocking sweetness inside. And he and your mother discuss where he might find some this late in the season. Mother says hell I don’t know. Further north, I’d guess. The next morning, you wake up in your bed and sit up. Mother says, Pete, I think she’s up. He hollers in, You ready for breakfast, Pokey. Then he comes in grinning, still in his work clothes from the night before. He’s holding a farm bushel. The plums he empties onto the bed river toward you through folds in the quilt. If you stacked them up, they’d fill the deepest bin at the Piggly Wiggly. Damned if I didn’t get the urge to drive to Arkansas last night, he says. Your mother stands behind him saying he’s pure USDA crazy. Fort Smith, Arkansas. Found a roadside stand out there with a feller selling plums. And I says, Buddy, I got a little girl sick back in Texas. She’s got a hanker for plums and ain’t nothing else gonna do. It’s when you sink your teeth into the plum that you make a promise. The skin is still warm from riding in the sun in Daddy’s truck, and the nectar runs down your chin. And you snap out of it. Or are snapped out of it. Never again will you lay a hand against yourself, not so long as there are plums to eat and somebody-anybody-who gives enough of a damn to haul them to you. So long as you bear the least nibblet of love for any other creature in this dark world, though in love portions are never stingy. There are no smidgens or pinches, only rolling abundance. That’s how you acquire the resolution for survival that the coming years are about to demand. You don’t earn it. It’s given.”

excerpt from Cherry by Mary Karr, context being after a suicide attempt at age 13

elfwreck

Some context: Texas and Arkansas share a corner border. Now, Texas is FECKING HUGE and there are many, many parts of Texas that cannot visit Arkansas overnight, but there are parts where it’s no trouble at all.

However, those places of Texas that are close to Arkansas, do not include “close to Fort Smith, Arkansas.”

The closest Texas gets to Fort Smith is about 185 miles (about 300km), at “a little closer than Texarkana.” (Dallas, fwiw, is about 275 miles/450km from Fort Smith.)

So the dad in this story drove at least SEVEN HOURS round trip, to pick up a bushel of plums for his little girl, in the hope that some almost-out-of-season fruit would convince her to go on living.

v-lagopus

Okay.

It’s bigger than this.

According to Wikipedia, the poet Mary Karr was born in 1955 and grew up in Groves, Texas and “lived there until she moved to Los Angeles in 1972.” So she would have been there when she was 13 and attempted suicide.

According to Google Maps, the shortest driving distance between Groves, TX and Fort Smith, AR is 439 miles (or 706 km for metric using folks).

That’s almost 8 hours of driving.

Almost 16 hours roundtrip.

(I assume he broke every speed limit he could.)

That’s how much this man loved his daughter.

May we all be worthy of such love.

May we all be capable of giving such love.

May we all have people in our lives with which we can share this love.

misandresther

If it's #notallmen responsible for misogyny then why is it all men responsible for our progress?

Men will race to claim responsibility for all men's historical triumphs. Yet when it comes down to male violence, they're all different individuals who cant be lumped into 1 group?!

Pick a damn side you scrotes! You can't believe in male superiority and refuse to held accountable for the ways men try to enforce it!

cheshireinthemiddle

Men...dont really do that. We dont see George Washington and point with pride that he's a man. We dont cheer because the winner of a competition is male. We dont bring up "the first male ___"

What me actually do is defend outselves against your sexist generalizations about us, no different than a black person would defend themselves from a racist's bigoted claims.

You do believe black people are individuals, yes? Not responsible for the minority of bad ones? That we shoudnt be judged by crime statistics? Why not men?

doubly funny that I saw a compilation of all the corporate accounts like "aw thanks elmo, we're doing well" meanwhile all the flesh and blood real human people are extremely not okay

artistefish

Okay but Elmo had actually the best and sweetest response to all this trauma dumping:

And then all the other Sesame Street character accounts joined in:

And now I’m thinking maybe we’re gonna be okay… 💗

(Comment compilation from this Twitter)

aqueerkettleofish

I kinda feel for the poor person running Elmo's Twitter.

"So, boss... I may have messed up."

"What did you do, Ray?"

"Well, I made a post for Elmo saying 'Hi, how's everybody doing?'"

"I mean, that's kind of what we pay you for."

"Yeah, but.... <sigh> it turns out pretty much everyone is hanging on by a thread, badly enough that they needed to tell Elmo."

"Oh."

"God help me, boss, I think Elmo needs to be there for them."

"Get the others."

this is the energy that jim henson would be proud of.

Okay, but this interview on the Today Show is just perfection.

metroid is about isolation

but metroid is also about learning to do trick jumps from random animals who celebrate when you get it right, and about saving them even as the planet shudders under your feet

and metroid is about lowering your gun when you meet the last of a species who's only just hatched, and gently holding out your hand

and metroid is about accidentally calling the name of someone you care about, who you thought you'd lost, and finding out they've been with you the whole time

and about a little scribble of a child with their parents tucked into the corner of a grand mural

and about the gifts left behind by others because they may be gone before they get to meet you, but that won't stop them from helping you

metroid is about love actually

#it’s also about the ppl who made it not knowing what a bounty hunter is yet making Samus one then finding out what a bounty hunter is #and subsequently being horrified by the fact

I heard that The Mandalorian gave the Japanese a more accurate idea of what the West thinks a “bounty hunter” is.

And we have to talk about it

We tend to parent in the hypothetical.

This is why we also need to talk about guns.

We need to step outside the hypothetical for a moment. Not just as parents, but as a culture.

hostis-thoughtcrimes-recidivist

This article is exactly as bad as you expect it to be, lmfao

newplayingsmash

It’s been talked about for decades. The problem is that the dipshits refuse to listen to anything that isn’t “ban all guns now!”

siryouarebeingmocked

When they're not attacking more practical solutions like "security guards".

amkrii

It would be cheaper to employee security than it would be to confiscate several hundred million firearms from several hundred million Americans with several hundred million rounds of ammo to send down range at the few thousand officers dumb enough to enforce it.

siryouarebeingmocked

Cheaper, faster, and more practical in every way.

It’s ironic that this guy talks about hypotheticals when most gun’trollers support gun control as an ideal, not on a practical level. Not as something that could fail.

Fate Stay Night designs:

FGO designs:

Just sayin. 🤷‍♀️

trilllizard666

1st one is a specific parody of armor in one of the most popular JRPGs in Japan and is a big crack at how ill suited Elizabeth Bathory is for the role of “Heroine”

There is literally nothing wrong with the 2nd one

and the 3rd one is an evil femme fatale version of the Lancer Artoria, the polar opposite of the perfect, idealized King Arthur that never died, while also ignoring that’s her Stage 3 Ascension Art, where the general trend is either “they get more idealized armor and weapons to show their return to power” or “they shed armor/masks/head coverings to depict the level of developing trust and bond between you, as Master, and them, as a Servant”

for comparison, here’s stages 1-3 of the “main” Artoria Lancer

and 1 and 2 of artoria lancer alter

it’ll never cease to amaze me how fixated on this shit and obsessed you people are about a series that you basically never have anything nice to say about lmao

thehellspawnhero-deactivated202

There isn’t exactly a shortage of men in revealing/form-fitting clothes or armor either, even in Fate/stay night.

(Bonus shirtless Cu)

Even if how much or little clothing a drawing wears were an issue, it wouldn’t be a gendered one like OP’s implying.

sindri42

It amuses me when people act like some light ecchi in later Fate/ character designs is horrifically objectifying and compare it to the good and pure character designs in the literal pornography that started the series.

kob131

It’s hilarious to me when people get all pearl clutching about Fate, acting as if it only sexualizes women when ‘GAR’, one of the long-standing memes in Fate, is all about how gay every dude becomes upon witnessing Archer.
