Comfort Characters

I was tagged by @nitewrighter to share some of my comfort characters. Prepare for some weird shit.

Not tagging anyone but if you want to try it, go ahead.

1. Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars The Clone Wars) Listen. I know he does horrible shit as Vader but god damn The Clone Wars made him a himbo and he is trying his best in a shitty situation and his relationship with other characters got to me.

2. Stephanie Brown (DC, Batman)

If taking none of Batman's shit was an olympic sport Steph would win gold every single fucking time. After everything she has been through she still smiles and still cares for everyone and tries to help, even with everyone telling her to stop. Gotta respect her. Also she is on site when dealing with her dad and that is beautiful.

3. Laura Kinney/Wolverine (Marvel, X-Men)

Laura is proof that if given the chance and a bit of help, anyone can escape a horrible situation and go on to do great things. She went from being created as a weapon to a hero with a loving family and a little who looks up to her.

4. Ultra Magnus (Transformers)

This guy. This guy has so much shit to deal with. He has rules and a code that he follows to the letter yet everyone just wants to break them. But when push comes to shove he will always do the right thing and woe be onto you if you are standing in his way.

5. Vegeta (Dragon Ball)

Look you just gotta feel sorry for the guy. Planet destroyed. Controlled by a monster. Raised to be his peoples ultimate prince and warrior. But he became a hero and a family man. And you have to respect him. I just wish he would get a win.

oh my god...

so the first screenshot is trying to look this up on tiktok normally, "donald trump rigged election" and it says that search violates community guidelines.

the second screenshot is looking up the same exact thing, but with a (australian) vpn on. canadian vpn didn't fix it fyi.

THIS is exactly the type of censorship to be looking out for on tiktok. this actually is crazy.

[modern-politics111]

Tiktok has been under investigation by the EU for months now for various forms of election interference, but yeah, NOW it seems to be only dawning on some of you that they might not be on the up and up

He’s absolutely right!

Fanart made by Ryuusei is the best evidence to support that theory:

[season-of-hope]

Honestly I don’t think much would change if they were women. I laugh at malcador insisting they would be less argumentative if they were sisters. That man was an only child.

How the GAIA Gang hold the Varling

[boobaloof]

I love lego horizon’s silly outfits. We should add them to the original games so we can absolutely ruin serious plot moments like this 🍌

[eleooooooo]

Executioner Phillias + the gremlins (commission)

[tadpole-apocalypse]

I saw a screenshot of Karlach in this armor and knew what I had to do…

Stuff like this always brings a smile to my face.

[gallade-x-treme]

imagine being such a 12 outta 10 that your mere smile winds up domesticating the nation's deadliest hitman 😳

[noccolibroccoli]

So I had a hysterectomy today (hooray!) and I brought along my stuffed orca, Shamu, as a comfort object. And everyone i interacted with during my pre-op was like "Oh! Who's this?" so I was telling them all about him, how he's been with me since I was 9 and gone on every single vacation and road trip, and they were telling me about their own stuffed buddies (one lady said she still has hers after 40 years!) and all of this while I was signing consent forms and providing a list of the things I'd brought with me, you know, small talk.

So then a nurse comes over and goes "Okay, I've got some stickers I'll put on your things so we know they're yours" and I'm like "OK cool" so she puts a sticker on my coat and stickers on my bags of clothes and then she turns to Shamu and I'm like "oh I guess he gets a sticker too"

But no. She pulls out a hospital bracelet that's an exact copy of mine and slaps it on his tail, like so:

And i was delighted by this, so I took a picture to send to my friends, who were equally delighted, and were cracking me up with their reactions (like so:)

Anyway, they take me back and put me under, and when I awake groggily a few hours later it takes me a minute to get my bearings, so I don't notice Shamu at first. But then I realize he's tucked up next to me in the gurney, so I grab him, and my hand touches gauze.

And I'm like "huh?" so I look at him and I realize

They gave my fucking orca a hysterectomy

[swimmingblue]

Well, hospital staff need a good laugh, too.

[omgthatdress]

Pamela Anderson looks so happy and so pretty for real!

[distractedbyshinyobjects]

In case anyone doesn’t know, a few years back Pamela Anderson decided to stop wearing all makeup.

She gets exactly the response for that that you’d expect.

But this woman is beautiful and glowing and thriving and she’s a total inspiration.
