you have to be kinder to people with memory issues.

you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

you have to be kind. you have to be kind.

The flat colors for my big X-Men Evolution Reimagined yearbook project are finally done! I will probably go back and add shading and extra details later, but I was really excited to just get this out there. I'll link posts for the individual pages below that way if you just want to reblog for your Blorbo, it'll be easier!

Now that more people know who squirrel girl is, I think nows a good time to share one of my favorite comic panels

andthepeople

always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

I HC that Sidious put him in upper management specifically to make that hate flow. He looked at Jedi Anakin and thought to himself: what does this guy like? Jumping out of moving vehicles at 30,000 feet? Well, we won’t be doing *gestures at all of Anakin* that. Put this guy in an office.

I just learned that the Russian word for “ladybug” translates to “God’s Little Cow”

vampireapologist-archive-deacti

It’s the same in Irish! bóín Dé!

peniswizard69

Multiple cultures upon seeing a ladybug for the first time: “Who’s cow is this????”

It feels like some early humans were naming things and one of them ran out of ideas.

Human 1: (points at animal) What’s that?

Human 2: Cow.

Human 1: (points at bug) What’s that?

Human 2: … little cow.

Human 1: But it’s so much smaller. Who would have use for such a small cow?

Human 2: (panicking but in too deep to stop now) God.

The “Lady” in the name “ladybug” is the virgin Mary. People just cannot stop giving religious names to this bug.

The reason for this was that if you lived in an agrarian society then your survival was a throw of the dice every year, depending on the success of the crops. A failed crop year is a very hard year where deaths are expected. And if you grew a cereal like wheat, there were several things that could cause your crops to fail, but one of the big ones was if you happened to get a fuckton of aphids. You know what eats aphids? Ladybugs! If there are lots and lots of ladybugs around, there was a good chance that it’d be a good crop year! They were little crop protectors! When your family lives or dies on the success of that crop, of course they’d be seen as a blessing and given an appropriate name!

That is such an interesting etymology!!!!

And entomology too i guess

asparklethatisblue

in German they’re Marienkäfer which also pretty much means “Mary’s Beetle”

istadris

In French it’s “Good Lord’s Beast”

Not even a cow, it’s just a little Creature but we know for sure God loves it.

In Dutch it’s “Lieveheersbeestje”, the Good Lord’s Little Beast

Marvel characters: This is Gwenpool, she’s an unstable, deluded girl who genuinely believes that she comes from another reality where we’re all comic book characters. Obviously, that’s too ridiculous to even consider, so she must be crazy. No, we can’t explain how she knows so much about everyone, nor how she seems to bend reality to her will. She must just be a powerful mutant. Oh now she’s saying that she recently made herself a mutant through something called a “retcon.” Sigh. Poor, confused young woman. We hope she gets the help she needs.

DC characters: This is Superboy Prime. He says he’s from a reality where we’re all comic book characters. Okay, that makes sense. Have a nice day, kid, please don’t go evil again and kill everyone.

Anakin was still alive in Obi-Wan’s mind. Obi-Wan was engaged with him so intensely that he expected his apprentice to walk over one of those shifting sand dunes and grin at him again. Or scowl. He’d take anything. Any mood, any defiance. Just to see him again. Every day and every night he violated every principle the Jedi had taught him about staying in the present moment, about acceptance.
