What's Ideas of March? I haven't been on Tumblr for a full year yet

March 15th is also known as the Ides of March in the Roman calendar, and what's celebrated is a very successful group project that took place back in 44BC in the Roman Empire. A group 60 senators conspired to assassinate Julius Caesar. However, all group projects have some people that skirt their responsabilities, that's why Caesar only had 23 stab wounds.

Because this is Tumblr, the death of the dictactor is celebrated every year with top quality memes and shitposts. It's a Tumblr Holiday.

Yes, and what if Grace snores in his sleep also? Would it technically be words that Rocky would understand since he speaks in kinda vibrations?

Oh, that would be so funny. I also like to imagine that one day Grace starts casually whistling while working on something and Rocky is like wait wtf is thaaat, what did you just do with your mouth? Have you always been able to do that??

May we have the OST for Deadpool 4 (Basically asking what songs you think would be perfect for a Deadpool 4 movie)?

I don't have the entire OST but I've been told in confidence that Deadpool 4 will start with another dance number, except instead of Deadpool dancing to Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC, it will be Wolverine dancing to Bi Bi Bi by Sub-Radio (the bisexual cover of Bye Bye Bye)

Read Bartimaeus for more footnotes!

Well, you are the... let me check... 8th person to recommend them to me because of that post, so I would be lying if I said I wasn't starting to consider it?

Edit: You know what' I'm going to use this ask to keep count of how many people recommend me those books. Current number: 23

In the tag '#gnu terry pratchett', what does the 'gnu' stand for?

I'm going to copy paste part of my answer because honestly, I always have to look it up to remember exactly what each letter stands for, and other people before me have explained it better, so:

In Terry Pratchett's Going Postal, the operators of the clacks tower use “GNU” as a code to mean the message should be passed onto every tower. An article on wiki-Lspace says that “The G in the code means to send it on the U at the end means to turn the message around at the end of the line and the N means not logged.”

I could also go into more detail about the significance of GNU in the Discworld book Going Postal, but then I'd have to venture into minor spoilery territory, and it's not necessary to understand GNU either.

Since Terry Pratchett's death a few years ago, the phrase has become of common usage among fans as a way to both mourn him and remember him. It's a bit redundant to use both his name and the GNU versions in my posts, but I do it for sentimental reasons and I also use X-Kit so it only takes a click to enter all the generic Discworld tags in a post.

For Deadpool 4, I'd want two love triangles between Deadpool, Wolverine, Taskmaster, and Morph.

Would be the funniest sh*t on both sides.

I'm gonna be honest, I had to google who Morph was. Also when I read Taskmasker my mind immediately jumped to Greg Davies, the taskmaster from the UK comedy tv show Taskmaster. So those were a wild two seconds for my brain before I recalled Marvel also has a character called Taskmaster

Your post has convinced me that Bron is dumb enough that when he awkwardly and cautiously set his hand on Andi's shoulder while saying something to the effect of "It's good...to see you." he was testing to see if his hand passed through her like a ghost

Asdgsdfxgh I hadn't thought of that but you know what, that's absolutely something he would do
