Every day I handle more money than I will ever make. Every day.

At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and it’s not to watch the shoppers. See, we can’t actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.

At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didn’t exist in my household. It’s normal now. Here is something that is not for me.

“What the hell, I’ll take another,” says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.

The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.

I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. He’s not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. He’s not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadn’t spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldn’t have spent any. I go home. I don’t own a watch.

I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.

I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht. 

I’m not worth the cost of a watch.

I’m not wholly adverse to a LotR remake, but what I really want is an animated adaptation. A good one - not the 70′s and 80′s cartoons. Imagine an animated Middle Earth in the style of Cartoon Saloon!

[godzillasflyingpizza]

you mean the people who made The Secret of Kells (2009)

and Song of the Sea (2015) ?

dude, that’d be tight as hell

[glumshoe]

Yeah! Honestly, it’s not far off from Tolkien’s own illustrative style, which really influenced how I imagined Middle Earth before the Peter Jackson movies were made:

“Stylized and richly atmospheric” would work so so well. 

[ecchifortheplot]

[sindri42]

Context:

The lady is a succubus, which in this setting is mostly human but with superpowered pheromones that passively make humans aroused just by being in the same room and essentially drug people out of their minds if she touches them directly. [The effect is so strong that there’s an entire government agency devoted to observing (from a long distance) all known succubi to make sure they aren’t starting suicide cults or going on murder-rape binges or whatever.] This causes her a variety of problems in life; she has to get up extremely early and stay at work late to take mostly-empty trains in order to avoid being in a crowded metal box full of humans, for example. But worst is her nonexistent love life, because how can you ever be confident that somebody has genuine romantic feelings for you if you’re supernaturally attractive to everybody? Is it ever morally acceptable to have sex if holding hands is effectively a date-rape drug? 

The guy is a perfectly ordinary biology teacher, who crashed into her in the halls on his first day and got a huge dose of aphrodisiac. But she is a Respected Colleague so it would be Highly Unprofessional to think of her that way, not to mention how Inappropriate it would be for a high school teacher to do or say anything while there might be students around, and wait a minute wouldn’t treating her differently just because of her biology be Super Racist? so obviously it is his Duty to act Perfectly Normal and pretend that he Feels Nothing.

She sees that he seems to have no reaction, and this sparks her interest. Is he immune to her powers? Clearly this requires further investigation! For entirely scientific purposes, not because if he falls for her he’d be the first guy she could trust to do so for legitimate non-chemical reasons (and totally not because she might be able to bone him without feeling bad about it).

So you’ve got the world’s dorkiest succubus clumsily trying to seduce this guy and he’s trying very hard to drink enough Respect Women juice to make up for over half his blood travelling south every time he sees her. Then for added fun several of their students catch on to these shenanigans and they ship it so they decide to “help”.

[switch-up-snowfox]

you know I can respect that premise.

It’s a good show.

Eddie Brock in Venom 

[buyakasha]

so many critics said he over-acted. that this movie didn’t deserve tom hardy’s level of acting. but in reality, maybe if more bad movies had people like tom going balls to the wall, they wouldn’t be bad movies

[ahkaraii]

beleth, the ashen demon!!!

or: jeralt’s nightmare adventures raising his autistic-spectrum child with impulse control issues lol

(byleth’s special interest is gathering battle statistics :3 it eventually makes them into a really good tactician but, uh, it takes them a long process of trial-and-error to git gud enough to predict the outcome of a battle before fighting it XD)

[knightsickness]

defence attorney edgeworth au is very good, especially with prosecutor phoenix. however, phoenix is usually either generically dickish or exactly the same, and i think that’s kind of a shame when canonically he was super into the arts, specifically drama and shakespeare, and that is EXACTLY the kind of gimmick that a prosecutor would have. im talking like… he carries around a plastic prop skull and monologues at it. he’s convinced that no-one else can hear his incredibly loud and dramatic soliloquies, even if he’s stood right next to them. wears stage makeup and stupid puffy sleeves and a ruff and cape to court. faints dramatically across the prosecutors bench. has a habit of pressing his hand to his chest and tilting his chin up while giving the opening statement. delivers shakespeare-based dunks on the witnesses and defence (‘shall i compare thee to a summer’s day? for thou have NO CLASS’). starts sweating and yells LINE whenever he’s in a tight spot and doesn’t know what to say. always just happens to be ‘practicing’ an anguished declaration of love whenever edgeworth walks past

[bearnixwright]

Phoenix: Objection!

Phoenix: To quote Hamlet Act III, scene 3, line 87…

Phoenix: No

The Scooby-Doo Project (1999)

[acreaturecalledgreed]

fun fact this special scared so many kids so fucking badly (b/c the blair witch aspect was played weirdly straight) that CN never aired it again 

[hz-archive]

you’re telling me this is real and not a shitpost

[preciousbeaan]

I seriously thought this shit was fake until I looked it up

[drawing-bored-deactivated202312]

that one time a parody of a fake found footage film is believed to be fake until footage is found.

[dykebrucespringsteen]

i found an extended version of the one above in which scrappy is inexplicably out in the woods and the gang, rightly, is scared shitless by him

Apparently the current proposed name of the hypothetical ninth planet is Persephone which is such a good name I’m mad I didn’t think of it.

[charlesoberonn]

Allow me to explain why it’s such a great name:

It pays homage to Pluto, previously known as the ninth planet, since Persephone was Pluto/Hades’s wife in Greek Mythology

It helps make up for the gender inequality in the names of planets, since Venus is the only other planet named after a woman

If it exists, it’d be the coldest planet in the Solar System, and in Greek Mythology, it was Persephone’s time spent in the underworld that caused winter

[darkbluemint]

I’m into this

[swan2swan]

I can’t believe none of the reasons were “It’s what Pluto would want.”

[alexkablob]

#if he can’t be a planet at least his wife can

ok so people are making fun of this but adding this with other anti-global warming tactics will work

This isn’t adding ice just for the sake of denial, it’s adding to the Earth’s albedo. This in turn actually makes the Earth’s climate cooler, and then more ice will be produced naturally because of this.

It isn’t a process we need to continue forever, in fact it’s one that needs to be calculated so that we don’t do it TOO MUCH. The only worry would be cooling down too much.

So yes, this is a good idea. It simply isn’t the only thing we should do because we still have gross pollution.

[showerthoughtspost]

The reason Ouija boards say “Don’t play alone.” is because if you did, nothing would happen.

[ankle-beez]

YIKES

[aanau]

this is fucking awful

It’s more jarring if you watch this right after.

I think what makes me sad is that it sounds like the voice actors were really really trying. Like I think that their hearts were in it, but the animation is the bad bit. Anyway, I feel like the voice actors are going to be blamed a lot for this :/

[vgjustice]

Yeah, this. It sounds like the voice actors were the only ones trying. Blame the animation director, blame Disney, but let’s not blame the only people who were actually accomplishing something.

[sweetiepie08]

True. Like, a concert version of this with these voice actors would be great. It’s the joyless animation that brings it down. But the animals look realistic I guess...
