âŚI just woke up from a dream in which there was an app that notified you when nearby LARPs needed an NPC, and you could, like, go pretend to be a surly shopkeeper or whatever and get paid, like, $10 for it.

The Role Initiative
I just had a thought.
Do you think that, when he went back in time to be with Peggy, Steve Rogers ever got annoyed with people and like pre-spoiled different media for them?
Like someone would tick him off and he'd just go:
"Darth Vader is Luke's father."
And the dude would have no idea what Steve is talking about because Star Wars won't come out for another one or two decades, but when it does and the guy hears the name Darth Vader (Because it's not a very common name) he'll recall his conversation with Steve and just go "That motherfucker."
Whenever I do worldbuilding I try to keep this image in mind
i hate this fucking site so much *clicks reblog*
Funniest shit Iâve ever seen.
Ah, the Mary Suez.
hundreds of years of language evolution and innumerable events had to line up in the exact right order for that pun to make sense.
Along with a single cargo ship failing to line up at all.
Part of Apple's new terms include "do not post incorrect things about religious texts" but even scholars of religious texts often disagree on the actual content or intent behind them. Apple has therefore declared itself the arbiter of the true word of God. đ¤
Excited for the first time Apple's terms of service take a side in a religious schism
asking apple if pope clement vii or pope urban vi has the more valid claim over the papacy
Wasn't there an apple already involved in a few major religions. From what I know, it didn't end well then either.

thanks I understand even less
I've been playing the Kingdom Hearts series for a while. I enjoy it a lot. However, what it basically amounts to is a Disney and Final Fantasy crossover fanfic whose plot devices and original characters have to be able to fit comfortably in both universes.
When you consider it like that, they do a good job of creating the joint universes and intermingling two arguably different tones of the fantasy genre, even if some of the plot devices tend to be a bit out there.
I love how all of the Batman villains are like âah heâs not at the manor, itâs defenseless! and then alfred just racks an AK-47 and is like pull up bitch
Batmanâs Villains: The butler will be easy prey!
Heâs just an old manâŚhe doesnât have any of the Batmanâs gadgets or training or fighting skills!
Alfred: Oh my youâre right
Thereâs something else of Master Bruceâs I donât have as well
(Cocks a shotgun) A CODE AGAINST KILLING
Batmanâs Villains: Wayne isnât here to save you old man!
Alfred:
Alfred is the original âCall an ambulance â but not for meâ
@dragonpuppies I spent way too long on this
Bruce: I have a code.
Alfred: And I have a gun.
Bruce: time to remove the guns.
Alfred: good fucking luck.
Iâve peer reviewed @ebonyheartnetâs addition and found that it deserves a reblog.
batman doesent put supervillains in jail to prevent them from hurting civilians, batman puts them in jail to prevent alfred from hurting them
This is why Death in the Family is unrealistic. Joker wouldâve shown up to kidnap Alfred, and Alfred wouldâve put a bullet through his head. Then sent a snapchat to Jason and Barbara complaining about how his wallpaper needs to be changed now because the blood splatter ruined it.
@aalghul exactly but also your tags
Dumb Villain: Wayne isnât here to save you, old man!
Alfred: Correction, Wayne isnât here to stop me, young man. *cocks shotgun*

Rise of the Guardians: The Linchpin that is Sandman
First of all, I would like to say that Rise of the Guardians is an amazing movie that I regularly rewatch whenever the urge strikes me. After one such rewatch, a thought occurred to me.
Why did the Boogeyman target the Sandman first?
It could've been that he thought it was easiest to corrupt the sand and turn it into nightmares. Maybe it was because, out of the two Guardians that don't have singular days that represent them, he felt it would be better to stay under the radar by not targeting the one that relies on actual sentient beings- the tooth fairies- to operate. Any missing fairies would've probably been reported and therefore alerted the Guardians to their presence. However, I think that there's also another reason why Sandy had to go first. It's because he's the key to keeping the Guardians alive.
Sure, he keeps all of the kids asleep while they do their thing every night. He makes sure that none of them are disturbed while fairies flit around their heads to take teeth from their pillows. He makes sure that Santa and his helpers aren't caught as they sneak into houses across the planet to deliver presents. He makes sure that nobody notices when brightly decorated Easter Eggs literally walk into people's houses and yards for the good little boys and girls to find. Still, there is one component to all of this that he is solely responsible for. Something that none of the other Guardians have much of a role to play in.
The Sandman affects the adults.
Now, I am acting under the belief that, like with most movies, the parents do not believe in all of the fairy tales that they tell their kids. Except for the few people that might've witnessed the Guardians firsthand, all of them have "grown out" of waiting for Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. How then do they explain all of the things that happen at night that are caused by the Guardians?
Easy. Their dreams.
While the parents sleep, Sandman makes them dream. Both of them dream that one of them sneaks into the child's room at night to place a coin under their pillow. They just happen to misplace the tooth sometime in the coming weeks, but that isn't a big deal.
They dream that they sneak downstairs to hide colorfully decorated eggs all over the yard.
They dream that they sneak out all of the presents from their hiding spots on Christmas night, taking bites from cookies and drinking the milk left out. If there are a few more presents than they had initially counted, that's just them being forgetful. And a couple of tufts of yeti fur go unnoticed amongst the large collection of wrapping paper and ribbons.
Sandman gives the adults dreams that allow them their own comfort in their disbelief. Dreams so realistic that grown adults just believe they're real. Something that, if it wasn't there, would cause even greater panic than just simply having a couple of bad dreams.
Sandman doesn't just protect the kids' dreams. He protects the adults' as well.
Sandman is the first line of defense for protecting the humans. The vanguard of the Guardians and the one that the very personification of fear and evil fears the most.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
James âRhodeyâ Rhodes Crossover AU
Okay, so, stay with me on this. Itâs something that I thought of after rewatching a particular movie a little while ago.
After the Snap, Rhodey decides to retire from the military and the Avengers, just like his best friend. He doesnât necessarily cut off all contact with them, they still talk a decent amount, but he also isnât the most active in his communication with anyone except Tony and Pepper. Still, now that heâs out of the military and heroism, he wants to find some way to help others. However, itâs when he hears that Pepper is pregnant with her and Tonyâs kid that he finally realizes what he wants to do.
When the Snap occurred, so many children were displaced and became orphans. Rhodey applies to become a social worker, going through the approval process and eventually being able to help those children find places to stay. Itâs not always the best conditions, but he does try his best.
Through his job, he meets a nice woman, a teacher. She doesnât recognize him at first. He was a decorated military leader and a regular sight when it comes to the Avengers, but he was usually only ever seen in his suit, which kind of has a big metal helmet covering his face. Still, they hit it off, and she gains an interest in him as a person before she recognizes him from his past exploits. They date and then he eventually marries her. It was a small thing, not crowded. Her family was a little shocked when they saw Tony Stark standing as their new son-in-lawâs best man.
They both move on with their lives together. Helping kids in the best way they know how. That is until something interesting happens.
Heâs assigned to this pair of kids. Siblings. An older teenage girl with a troublemaking and headstrong attitude a mile long; and young boy whoâs intelligence, inventiveness, and natural engineering abilities get help his sister with their antics. Their parents died after the Snap, two of the many casualties that occurred from the aftermath of the disappearance of half of all life on Earth.
Something about the two kind of pulled Rhodes in. He thinks it might be the fact that they remind him of a certain troublemaking genius that he had to deal with college and most of his adult life. They just happened to be split into two people this time.
Theyâd moved through a couple of homes before he found one that was willing. They werenât the most caring, but Rhodey knows for a fact that the couple that he put them with werenât abusive.
Despite this, the kids were regularly at the police station for various different misdemeanors. The officers have long since gotten used to the sight of Rhodey coming into the station to pick up the occasional troublemaker, and the man himself continues to cover for these two kids, allowing them to stay in their current foster home without their foster parents knowing.
Then, he finally finds it. A perfect home for them to live in. Theyâre willing to accept older kids and seem like the kindest people, from the reviews coming from the other social workers and some of their former charges. However, despite the multiple cases of the kids expressing their wish to leave their current housing situation, they actually say no when he brings this up to them. A few days later, Rhodey figures out why.
The two children had become a major part of a large animal hoarding scandal. Countless stray dogs were found in a multistory, abandoned building. Animal control took control and the police placed them under arrest for a time. They were released, but their foster parentsâ refused to take them back. They kids had apparently been stealing different items in order to use in their exploits.
Rhodey, with the other family he had lined up now no longer an option, had no choice but to send the two kids to two seperate gender specific orphanages. Ones that have been overcrowded and underfunded since the Snap.
Itâs not a few days later that he gets this feeling. That he wants to know a bit more about just what those kids were up to. With what is probably more than a bit of influence from hanging out with Tony Stark, he completely ignores the police tape at the building and heads inside. There, he finds out just how much work was put into this place. Just how much love and care was put into providing for the needs of the dogs that the kids brought there.
Just as suddenly, a rush of paws is heard as the dogs all run back into the building, despite supposedly being at the pound just hours before. In the entrance of the building; police, animal control, press, and citizens crowd as they follow the dogs in. He sees his wife in the crowd, as well as he two kids that heâd come to care so much about. Using the calm confidence heâs come to possess from working in the military, as a superhero, and as a social worker, he calms the crowd and manages to show them the love, compassion, and care that these kids gave each and every dog they found.
As the press and public rush inside to see the place itself, Rhodey goes to his wife. Heâs about to open his mouth, but she already knows what heâs going to say. She agrees completely, but James knows there are still a few things that have to be done, and quickly.
He calls his best friend, Tony Stark, and asks for the manâs help. Tony immediately accepts without even hearing what heâs helping with, but when Rhodey explains the situation to him, the billionaire is even more enthusiastic. He claims that itâll just be an extension on the wedding gift that he gave Rhodey. The house was a little on the cheap side for the rich business ownerâs taste anyways.
So, with that funding, James and his two newly adopted children buy and refurbish the building. They make it a haven for strays and a place where people can bring their own dogs in order to be given a fine and luxurious stay.
James âRhodeyâ Rhodes becomes the first owner of the Hotel for Dogs.

WEâVE HIT TERMINAL MEME
@caesarianconfection
Iâve said âI hate thisâ so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because âI hate thisâ is just shorthand for âthis is an example of a meme given a twist I wasnât expecting with intent to surpriseâ. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.
But this⌠This is something else.
The rapidity of a memeâs introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, youâll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. Itâll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeareâs jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.
For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?
âŚ.I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE
it is a YMCA reference - thatâs one of the 6 memes being represented here
ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)
this first lyric replacement (âtake the breadsticks and runâ) is a reference to the tumblr meme âstuffing breadsticks into my purseâ. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. thatâs meme two (2)
âman door hand hook car doorâ is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic âstuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill usâ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)
âgunâ is⌠yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to âman door hand hook car doorâ for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)
and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)
which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)
(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think iâve ever seen. the initial âyoung manâ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme âgunâ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)
I wasnât going to reblog this, but @pagesofkennaâs comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.
average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted
it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpgâs format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000âs rage comics
I was getting a political compass vibe too

This is the most elaborate meme I have ever seen and damn am I concerned by how it makes sense.

Prompt I will never do anything with: instead of being given to the Dursleys, Harry Potter is put up for adoption and is adopted by the Addams Family
Gomez, being forcibly removed from the stands of a Hogwarts quidditch match for the third time: MY BOY! MY BOYâS UP THERE! HEâS SEEKER!
McGonagall, sweating: Mr. Addams, how do you keep sneaking onto grounds
As I said to @door :
Wednesday is woefully jealous of how dramatic Harry's origin is and fiercely protective of him, only SHE is allowed to torture him
Harry's hair would be more slicked back and shinier than Draco could ever hope to achieve Harry still gets sorted into Gryffindor Morticia says he gets that from Gomez' side of the family
Meanwhile Wednesday gets into Hogwarts as well,
*During House assigning*
Professor McGonnagal: Wednesday Addams.
Wednesday *begins to get up*
Sorting hat: Yeah no, no, sit back down kid. Youâre Slytheren. I have never been more sure of anything in my existence.
*Later at Slytheren dorm*
Draco: Well look, if it isnât Potterâs little Mudblood sister, listen up you little...
Wednesday: *Shoots Malfoy a glare which instantly silences him.* You will listen to me and listen carefully. I do not like repeating myself. Harry is off limits. In fact, everyone in Gryffondor is off limits, that goes for the rest of you. If you cause ANY trouble for my adopted brother, you will answer directly to me. Is this understood?
Draco:...Yes mum.
*Later in potions class*
Snape: Potter, you were two seconds late, twenty points from Gryffondor.
Wednesday: *Picks up beaker and smashes it on the floor.* Professor Snape. I have wilfully destroyed school property. I believe that is a twenty point deduction from Slytheren house.
Snape: Did you? Well I didnât see it so.
Wednesday: *Gets up, walks to the front of the class, looking Snape in the eye the entire time, smashes another beaker on the ground right in front of him.* Twenty. Points. From Slytheren.
Snape:..... Alright then twenty points from Slytheren.
Wednesday: *Returns to seat, still glaring at Snape*
Snape: Now before we get on with classes I have the results of last weeks pop quiz, fairly expected stuff, Mr. Weasley you did adequate, but your penmanship was atrocious which is...
Wednesday *Grabs another beaker and holds it up with a look on her face that says âI can keep this up as long as you can old manâ*
Snape:....Something you should work on in the future.
*Later*
Draco: Canât you just expel her professor?
Snape: Well I could in theory, but considering her muggle father keeps somehow sneaking in here I think whether she has permission to be here or not is rather Academic. Besides, Iâm not crossing her after what she did to Umbridge.
Draco: *Shudders* Donât remind me.
This is one of those posts I'm going to watch for hopefully in future to see what awesome new additions it gets. Go on Tumblr, be brilliant!
please keep me informed as well
I just imagined the third book when they learn Sirius Black is trying to kill Harry, and is his godfather.
Gomez: well that makes him family, we must invite him over.
Harry: but father, everyone says he's trying to kill me.
Gomez: oh, of course, how thoughtless of me. Lurch, put away the swords for guests and sharpen up the good swords we use for special occasions! A relative visiting is one thing, but a murderous relative needs to be celebrated.
Harry: thank you, father.
XD and as soon as they find sirius is innocent hed be welcomed into the family with open arms.
Can you imagine the Addams during the fight at the ministry of magic or at hogwarts?
Gomez with a sword
Mortitia with man eating plants
Pugsley with explosives
Wednesday just keeps pulling bigger and bigger weapons out of those tiny pockets on her dress. She has a wand but never uses it!
A death eater turns a corner and she's inexplicably there with a cannon!
Okay but the Addams Family going off on Dumbledore for all the BS he put Harry through without warning him like he could have. (Because fuck that shit. Destiny/fate my ass.)
Just...just all of this... Mortisha: So how was your first year of schooling children? Wensday: *pouting* Harry got to see a 3 headed dog and play with it. Harry: Only a little! Gomez: Oh how fun! Maybe we should look into getting one or 2!
All the yes
How am I only just finding this, this is brilliant
When they find out Lupin was fired for being a werewolf they offer him a place to stay. Granmama brews his wolfbane potion every month, better than Snape!
And they start calling him "cousin Remus" before the end of the second week.
Morticia is eventually declared a master alchemist due to her knowledge of poisons (and by extension their antidotes).
Gomez is brought back to Hogwarts as an assistant dueling instructor. He might not know magic, but he will make sure they know proper dueling etiquette.
They eventually find out that, not only have the Addams family found every single secret passageway into the school, but they have also been let onto the grounds by a sympathetic half-giant who cares for Harry like his own and has a similar opinion on "misunderstood" creatures.
Pugsley meets the Weasley twins. Chaos ensues.
can we just talk about the time that Lupin was recovering from a full moon and Snape taught the DADA class and made all the students write essays on how to kill werewolves for Lupin to read when he got back I hate Snape so much itâs not funny
Lupin gets back and he feels like crap and suddenly his best friendâs son is writing an essay about how to kill him like that is so fucked up
Bear in mind that an ex-Death Eater does this to someone who was in the Order, risked his life fighting against said Death Eaters and lost his best friends to the Death Eaterâs genocidal leader, for the sole purpose of screwing him over, and as far as we know he experiences no consequences whatsoever for doing so.
And if that wasnât enough, he made them write those essays hoping some of them would realize Lupinâs a werewolf. And one did, but Hermione is a fucking DECENT HUMAN BEING and said nothing. Apparently the âinsufferable know-it-all' can keep her mouth closed, when itâs for something important. Just like Snape didnât do at the end of the book.
Iâm getting mad, so hereâs something Iâve realized while reading The Order of the Phoenix again. (Please keep in mind that my books are in Italian and some concepts might be hard to explain, I apologize for my English mistakes)
In chapter 14, when The Trio talked with Sirius, he said that two years before Dolores Umbridge had written a law against werewolves that made it almost impossible for Lupin to find a job.
Now ask yourself this question. Why two years?
What had happened two years before? During Harryâs third year? Oh, right. The Magical World had discovered that one of Hogwartsâ teachers (someone who was in constant conctat with their children) was a werewolf. Does that ring any bell?
But thatâs not all! If we take a look at chapter 15, in the Daily Prophet article we can see a familiar name: Remus Lupin. In a newspaper. Where everyone can read it. âThe werewolf Remus Lupinâ. No wonder he couldnât find a job! And itâs not the first time the Daily Prophet has written about him, as itâs stated in the article itself. There must have been a huge scandal when it had all come out.
So basically, when Snape decided he couldnât bear not having what he wanted (for example, SIRIUS BLACK GETTING KISSED BY A DEMENTOR) and spilled the secret, he didnât only tell the whole school. He didnât only tell the kidsâ parents. The told the whole Magical World.
He told the whole Magical World that a man who had kept his condition secret all his life was a werewolf.
And the Magical World responded with a law against werewolves.
So, basically, Snape didnât only ruin Remus Lupinâs life. He ruined the life of every single werewolf in the UK.
But, you know. Bravest man I ever knew.
I will never not reblog how horrible Snape was. A great character? Why of course. But a great man? Absolutely disgusting.
Severus Snape is a garbage human being, and I will die on that hill.
Snape infiltrated the Dark Lordâs inner circle in order to defeat the organization from the inside. Risking his life every single day he did so. For that, he is probably one of the bravest characters in the books.
However, he also became the worst fear of a student whose parents were tortured by a different Death Eater to the point of insanity. He threatened to feed what he knew was poison to a childâs pet.
He regularly harasses a single house and plays blatant favoritism towards his own.
He mocks Hermione simply for her intelligence.
He destroys the reputation and future of a fellow order member and lets the person who framed another order member for the murder of a woman he claims to have loved get away during a time when Voldemort had no inkling of returning.
He torments the child of that very same âlovedâ woman for fame that itâs obvious throughout most of the books that he clearly would rather be without.
I can understand his hatred towards Sirius and childhood trauma towards him for almost being turned by Remus as a kid, but he invented a potion specifically to combat that and made it so that the threat towards anyone from Remus was almost nonexistent.
Even with all of that, he still held onto what basically amounts to a high school rivalry between James and Snape. They both traded blows, casting spells against each other. Despite that, even after James saves Snape during the werewolf incident, the Slytherin still keeps seething over the grudge he seems to have developed.
It shows in the books that, while James matured and moved on from his childish ways, Snape stayed trapped in his memories of Hogwarts. He had plenty of accomplishments in potions that couldâve revolutionized the entire curriculum, but he didnât pursue any of them. Heâs the equivalent of a genius scientist stewing in his own loathing because of the jock that bullied him in high school.
In conclusion:
Snape is a brave man.
He is also a crybaby man-child who is so stuck in the past that he probably wouldnât need a time turner in the first place.
Brave man? Yes. Is it enough to make up for years of being a trash heap of a human being? No.
Harry shouldâve found someone different to name his kid after.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Does anyone else see similarities between Tony Stark in the MCU and Kuzco from Emperor's New Groove, or is that just me?
Marvel Neighborhood Watch
We all talk about how the emergency services, like the police and fire departments, help the heroes with various villains. That's great, I really enjoy seeing them taking an active role in fighting against supervillains because they can help out once they get used to dealing with the more science fiction sides of their occupations.
However, what I am picturing is what happens when the citizens themselves just get tired of all of the rampant destruction some of these villains create.
In most of the neighborhoods and communities I've live in over the years, we've had something called the "neighborhood watch". It's supposed to be an organization of various members of the community that help keep crime and various other violations down in the area.
Some of the places I've been had people who just used it as an excuse to nitpick at things they didn't like about people or houses around them; but others actually did help with the health, safety, and general wellness of the community. Most of them were just a few of the more permanently housed members meeting up every few weeks to discuss things that might help the neighborhood or anything potentially dangerous they might have seen in the area. Others, though, were a lot more organized. They would have group chats and different roles. They'd discuss emergency plans in case of fire and blizzards. They'd talk with their neighbors about different things they struggled with and ways to assist. Some of them didn't even call it a neighborhood watch, it was just a good community effort to help others.
I'm not sure if New York or any of the big cities in Marvel would have things like that, although they might have something similar.
I just see the civilians in those cities hearing a crash around the block and thinking "Oh, it's Tuesday, must be Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four." They help any new residents or tourists get somewhere safe and that's that. Then, they get together with a few of their friends and start coming up with evacuation plans and teaching ways to reinforce various places to minimize housing damage in the inevitable fallout. Eventually, they start supporting the heroes after the fight with first aid kits for injuries or tool boxes for broken tech.
Soon after that, someone sees one of the heroes break open a fire hydrant to douse an electric or fire villain in water and they start thinking. There are a lot of villains with glaring weaknesses. He gets a large pipe wrench from the hardware store and a fire hose from his friend at the station. Then, he starts talking with the other members of the watch.
They discuss the risks and dangers of the different villains and the response times of the heroes and law enforcement. Then, they set a plan for when they should cut their losses and evacuate and when they have a chance to stay and fight. They of course decide it's wiser to run more often than not, especially if said villain happens to be trying out some new nefarious technology or scheme. However, next time Spider-Man swings into the area to battle Electro, he finds the man already soaking wet and wrapped in insulated bindings, with a citizen on standby with a still dripping fire hose.
