Well, you can but it would take an effort.

A depressed guy moves into a haunted house with 7 demons, each corresponding to a deadly sin. But, they’re all trying to help him get back on his feet; Pride helps with self confidence, Lust helps him get laid, etc.

[posingasme]

Envy: “Glut, back off the guy, okay?”

Gluttony: “I’m just saying he could stand to gain a few pounds! I made spaghetti!”

Sloth: “After we eat, it’s gonna be time for a nice nap. We’ve earned it!”

Pride: “Damn right we did!”

so last night I had a dream that everyone in scooby doo went to college or something except for shaggy and scooby and shaggy was morosely trading in the mystery machine for a prius and the last thing I remember before waking up was scooby saying “raggy why” and shaggy goes “we need a car with better gas mileage scoob”

[sapphic-dreams-and-ashes]

although character backgrounds are fairly fluid through the Scooby Doo franchise, of all the gang, Norville “Shaggy” Roberts is A> the most financially well of, and B>the most likely to get an athletic scholarship. Daphne’s parents are rich, but she has for sisters, and the money is her parents still. Shaggy however is the sole beneficiary of the estate of his late uncle Beauregard, who left him an unspecifiedly large fortune and a large southern plantation. Shaggy is independently wealthy. Shaggy is also said, at multiple points across the various series, to have, in high school, won numerous awards in both Track and gymnastics. Coupled with the fact that he can outrun Scooby at times, and Great Danes can sustain speeds of 30 mph, means Shaggy can outrun Usain Bolt, atleast is there’s a mummy behind him, or a pizza at the finish line.

TL:DR Shaggy is doing fine and you don’t need to worry about him.

Now, let’s talk about how, CANNONICALLY, Scooby can speak human languages because he is distantly related to dread Cthulhu…

Cheer-damnably-ho! 

A 1928 expletive infix from Dorothy Sayers, via Dennis Baron on twitter.

[eliciaforever-deactivated201906]

This is also called dystmesis.

When you drop an infix into a word to amplify emotion, it’s tmesis. The example Dennis gives of “abso-bloody-lutely” is tmesis. “Whole nother story” is another common example of tmesis.

Dystmesis happens when you infix, but you do it in an unlikely place or with unexpected words.

“Un-fuckin-believable” is tmesis but “unbe-fucking-lievable” is dystmesis.

A few of you were asking for more links, so here’s what I’ve got:

[cissexist language] Article about Pazyryk ‘Amazon’ Burial form Siberian Times 2015

British Museum Article on Scythian Artifacts including false beard:

Passages on the Scythian’s recorded use of mare urine (premarin) derivatives for a medical feminizing effect can be found in Handbook of the Evolution of Human Sexuality By Michael R. Kauth:

I feel like I should point out again that most of the writing on this seems to have a hard time overcoming this sort of either/or type of thinking. Reconnecting with the actual evidence seem to indicate the Scythians had among them transgender men and women, AND a third gender (Enaree). <–link to a Herodotus translation. OR, it’s entirely possible that these were actually five separate genders.

And that’s something I don’t think I’ve yet seen considered, probably because people have the knee-jerk “that just too many genders!!” reaction…despite the fact that “too many genders” is itself an entirely modern perspective being projected onto the past. (It’s definitely worth further research on my part!)

Entertainingly, a lot of people will (and have, I’m sure) say/id that “five genders” is also an entirely modern perspective being projected onto the past.

So here’s where I say the thing I’m always saying: ALL WE HAVE are modern perspectives. The best we can hope for is to try and view the same evidence and materials through as many of those perspectives as possible, in order to reach something as close to the truth as we can come. And we should do this in order to help histories and peoples that are marginalized today come back toward the center and do justice by their/our importance, humanity, beauty, and validity.

With this spellbinding project, insanely talented artist @littlechmura​ wanted to create a self-contained moment for each of these beloved Harry Potter characters—a single scene that gives a glimpse into their own magical worlds. She’s calling the series “One Breath Each”, and we’re calling it GORGEOUS AF.

Pornhub commenters generally have a reputation of being more civil to each other than youtubers. Maybe people who argue online just need to bust a nut?
