Yknow the lil fanfic trope where a character, usually non-human, purrs like a cat. In this case it would obviously be Rocky but what if it was Grace instead hear me out-

I guess you could say he’s ve… he’s a very h…

Do Eridians know they are different colours. I bet Grace's alien kids love finding out what colour they are. It means absolutely nothing to them but they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Some of them think he's making this whole 'colour' thing up to mess with them and try to catch him out by asking again on a different day to prove he's just saying random noises but he's like you are still blue buddy and they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Like if we met an alien species who had extra senses & they said that some humans felt spingly and some humans felt spoingly I bet we'd all want to know if we were spingly or spoingly humans

Shout out to my mom who explains my transition as "Having a daughterpillar turn into a Boyterfly". It doesn't erase the fact I was an adorable little girl, and also affirms my gender now. I love my mother.

Todays gonna be good!✨

Oops! Yeah I forgot to post yesterday 😅 and kind of last week too. Life’s been a bit hectic but I guess that’s normal at this point. To deal with the feelings of trying to overcome all my new daily challenges I drew one of my favorite ocs, Average Joe, being the positive lil guy he is. If average joe can do this, so do you! ❤️

Average Joe wishes you a good week ❤️

“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do

Please enjoy this EXTREMELY Hawkeye-esque interview answer from Alan. Source: the AARP magazine I found today in the bathroom of my catsitting job. (Warning, it is dark.)

And some choice pictures… the cover was water damaged as it had been stored near the shower, but rest assured that Alan was AARP cover boy.

In Defense of the Laugh Track

Many, if not most, MASH diehards dislike the laugh track. DVDs of the episodes are available with the laugh track taken out, a response to viewers’ objections to it that the show received throughout its run. Larry Gelbart himself did not want the series to have canned laughter at all, fought hard against it, and succeeded in having it removed from operating-room scenes only. Eventually, starting in season 4, episodes like “Quo Vadis” and “The Interview” did away with it altogether; by season 11 it was almost gone.

Gelbart is quoted as saying, “The people who defend laugh tracks have no sense of humor.“ Still, watch me defend it (I’m hilarious): as long as it’s integral to the original episode, I enjoy MASH with the laugh track. Certain jokes and sight gags have to make room for it, which might have been annoying to do at the time, but without it you get a shot that’s held too long and feels awkward. Example: Hawkeye at the start of “Crisis” sitting back in his chair in faux outrage, saying, “How do they expect us to fight a war without shuttlecocks?” MASH doesn’t always tell you when to laugh–the jokes are too numerous for that–and the majority of the laughs do come from subtler moments (for me, at least). But I can get into the forced gaiety of a laugh-track gag provided it’s funny.

The laugh track is also a time capsule. I like knowing how people watched MASH when it was actually on, and imagining what they thought of it–I’d go so far as to say that’s the main appeal for me. Why did people in the ‘70s laugh like that, or why did a TV studio believe they did? What is this bizarre existence we find ourselves in when we hear canned laughter? Something about it is compelling in its strangeness, its absurdity. I see why it was reviled by all the right people back then and through the ‘80s and ‘90s too, but it has survived as a curious cultural artifact. Within the context of an elaborate show like MASH, I can’t help but respect it.
