god left in 2012

The single best instance of voice acting in all of animation is when Dash from the Incredibles does his small giddy little laughter when he realises that he can run on water.

The exuberance of youth, the relief of not dying and just the giddy joy of how cool it is, all included in a single one second sound.

No one can convince me otherwise.

[cannabiscomrade]

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡

Horne said two staff members are sorting through the calls, and two investigators are working on credible leads.

[yeah-yeah-beebiss-1]

and for the love of god, don’t just spam it with memes or le funny shrek jokes or whatever, they’ll just hang up

make plausible-sounding reports for things that don’t actually exist, so that they actually have to waste time/resources investigating false leads - the goal is to waste time they would otherwise be using to do their jobs, not to get tumblr clout for being an epic troll

[neko-setsuka]

So apparently the internet article said the superintendent wouldn't be deterred by the prank calls because they would 'taper off eventually'. It'd be a real shame if this post stayed in circulation via queues so they get a consistent list of prank calls to filter through. 😇

WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT

[kaibas-paragraphical-mind]

YOU COULD BE A FUCKING BADASS DRAGON THAT’S THE POINT

[who-the-f-ck]

“I AM A CREATURE OF DARKNESS” “oh hey sabrina.”

[shitsuren-chama]

I guess the point is that you could shapeshift into the body you always thought you’d grow into when you were a kid

taller, shorter, slimmer, more muscular, purple hair, tattoos everywhere, tattoos nowhere, 

every single shoe would fit you every single time you tried it on, every single article of clothing would fit your perfectly, all you have to do is transform slightly, you’d never run out of ‘your size’ again

and you wouldn’t have to work for it at all, and you’d never be limitted by your bone structure or something. You could just transform at will.

[elvenrainbow]

[bogleech]

I don’t see how this is much of a downside

When you turn into a sixty story tentacle demon and terrorize a city you want to get the credit you deserve

[revereche-deactivated20140508]

Oh man that would be so sweet. I could be an annoying fuck as an insect or something but you couldn’t kill me because everyone would know

[perpetualcombustioninstruct-blog]

That’s great but have you considered

imagine being at work minding your business and then suddenly you look out the window and see like a 50ft tall flamingo and then someone just says “oh, yeah, that’s just pete, he does this sometimes, don’t worry”

[brightlotusmoon]

“BRB, gonna be a cat-sized dragon for a few hours. Might come home a foot taller with mood tattoos.”

“Don’t antagonize the fae.”

“I AM the fae, Susan.”

[aqueerkettleofish]

Also, consider— people will know it’s you, but it doesn’t say they’ll know what you are. “So is Pete a 50 foot flamingo who changes into a man, or the other way around?” “We.. we don’t know. Barbara asked him once, but he just grinned. She said they weren’t the teeth of a human OR flamingo and she didn’t want to talk about it.”

“I AM HERE FOR YOUR SOULS”

“George, did you forget your coffee?”

[this-account-is-a-mistake]

ok but like the only difference here is if you dont press it you cant shapeshift. theres no loss in pressing it

[soraitmnt]

Look I can’t shapeshift now, at least after I’ll be able to shapeshift

[letsstartafamilywellinvitewelove]

@hellsite-hall-of-fame

[chaotic-public-menace]

I would love to shapeshift. Gimme that shit. I want to turn into a Komodo dragon and sit in front of random people’s windows and doors and s t a r e

It's new years night and I'm mourning this night. Not for anything real (in the most boring definition of that word) but for something else. I'm mourning for Taln otherwise known as Talen'elat, the Bearer of Agonies.

Following includes a lot of spoilers for the Stormlight Archive so read at your own peril.

Taln, th herald of the Stonewards, the rock that refused to be eroded away.

I sometimes think about his character from time to time and I just can't. I can't deal with the sheer amount of courage, determination and just compassion on this man. Because let us not forget this, at the end of the day, he is just that. A man. His station might be that of God's chosen representative on Earth (Roshar, whatever) but beneath all of th9s he is just a man. And this man's whole character is predicated on one simple idea.

If personal pain is the price to pay for peace then that is a deal well made.

Just think about this

This man endured all the tortures that a vengeful God and his army of enraged spirits could muster and said, is that all?

He then kept on doing that for over a thousand years (I don't really remember the exact timeliness and I'm too lazy to look up)

He did this alone.

Abandoned by the fellowship whose oath was to be there alongside him.

The kings of old, Jezrien of the vaunted honour, Nale of the strict law and Ishar of the highest wisdom failed but Taln, he of the stout heart kept on going. He just kept on doing the one thing that he had always done, endure so that others did not have to, sacrifice his peace, his life and eventually his mind so that those of less 'honourable' station and 'lineage' could have a chance at a life, at peace at growth.

And then, after a millenia of being abandoned by his colleagues, friends, leaders and (in one case) partner, abandoned to be tortured by a host whose hate is increased year on year due to him fulfilling his duty, after all that when he is given a moment of lucidity the only thing he can say is:

Thank you.

The torture didn't matter

The abandonment didn't matter

The only thing that mattered was duty. The only thing that mattered was the Oath. And more specifically the reason for that Oath. The reason is simple. Bear the agonies so that others didn't have to. All Taln sees is that he fulfilled his Oath.

Hats off to him man.

Let's talk about Voiceplay's cover of Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame

I know they've done snippets of the song before, but this full length masterpiece of acting and vocal parts combined NEEDS to be talked about.

(For those of you who haven't seen it, GO WATCH IT)

This song is such a good choice for Geoff and for basses in general since the role of Frollo in the Hunchback musical was written for a bass and Patrick Page does spectacularly. The role is very dark and deals with mature and intense subjects like lust and desire and the character handles it very very poorly. But that's what makes him interesting. We love to hate Frollo, and giving him a low bass vocal part is perfectly suited for a character with such a dark and twisted character.

Layne has arranged the song perfectly, allowing Geoff to have all the time he needs to portray the character's thought process. The character turns from piety to fear of the monstrous feelings growing in him and what God will do to him should he sin, and then he gets angry and turns his blame on Esmeralda, claiming that she is to blame for his sinful thoughts. Geoff portrays Frollo's descent into obsession perfectly. Eli's intense rock belt is so powerful and lends to the song's intense tone. Cesar's breathy and frantic "It's not my fault!" perfectly displays Frollo's desperation as he fights his lust and then turns any blame away from himself by saying that he could never have fought this evil off when "if in God's plan he made the Devil so much stronger than a man".

Geoff's low notes are especially good and powerful in this song (thanks to Layne as I stated in my last Voiceplay post) and his acting make this probably my favorite Voiceplays song EVER. I have always loved Hunchback's music, and seeing Voiceplay perform this song so well has only made me love it more. And while the low notes do seem to bring Frollo closer and closer to Hellfire (or the Devil), Geoff's growly high notes also bring out Frollo's determination and ravid mannerism the song and the idea of Esmeralda has brought out in him. The high notes are unexpected, but anyone who saw the video knows they are insane and crazy and beautiful and a little scary.

Thanks for listening to my rambling.

I'm drunk and it's Sunday night so I'm sorry for everything that I'm about to say. Sorry in advance.

Today is Sunday. It's a reprieve.

Today I don't have to do anything. Today the only duty or responsibility that I have is to recuperate.

That's fucked up isn't it?

Recuperation. Another word for healing. For getting better

Why is it that we have one day, at least for me other people have two but it's one so let's start with that, that is just you recovering from the last week. What arr we recovering from?

Mundanity.

Is that even a word?

It probably isn't but I don't give a fuck so here we are.

Mundanity.

Just the boredom and relentless pressure of everyday life. It just grinds on you day after day. Where your life is mapped out for the foreseeable future. You know what you are going yo be doing this Monday and all Mondays in the foreseeable future. That is a scary thought. A very scary thought. Your life has already been prescribed. You don't get a choice. You don't get a decision. It just is. .

And that's why you get the the reprieve. That one day or "recuperation".

It's not recuperation. Healing is for moving on. For progressing. This is just a simple recharge. Enough to make .e person go on. Not enough to give any measure of progress or ang progress. Just enough to keep the status quo going on.

That's severely fucked up isn't it.

I have no idea where I'm going. I'm drunk aren't I. I'm not supposed to be the one with the rational ideas am I?

I'm sorry to everyone reading this. This is just a reaction to the alcohol and the stress and everything else

[pcharming7]

I’m re-reading KSBD right now and I’m appreciating how there’s sometimes a whole ass mythological text written under some pages. Like, yeah I’ll get back to reading about Allison trying to save her boyfriend from Super Hell but first I have to read 40 paragraphs about this chick named Aesma who achieved enlightenment through her sheer lack of chill.

TW: SUICIDE, SELFHARM AND 9THER SIMILAR THINGS APLENTY. Graphic depictions included. Please move away if you are affected by this thankyou.

In my opinion one of the weirdest experiences that a person can go through is to come to a point where they are fully of the belief that their life, in its totality, is not worth further experience and that rather than pay the continuing subscription to existence they are better off by just ending this subscription by basically destroying all internet access and electronics in their possession. Im sure that despite the extreme torture that the metaphor went through the idea behind it has been communicated. Now that isnt really the weird part though it is fascinating in its own fucked up way. The weird part is to come to that conclusion and then rather than just thinking about it you take active steps to counter the inertia of life and try to stop it.

Even thats not the weird part.

The weird part is taking that final step, laying down and for the first time in a long time feeling some modicum of peace. Of knowing that finally you wont be tired anymore. Of just breathing out a long awaited sight of contentment.

The weird part is waking up afterwards.

That part sucks.

You quit. You handed in your resignation letter. You admitted defeat. You said enough is enough.

Sayonara.

Farewell

Adieu

And the response you got was :

Naaah

Now imagine that happening 4 more times.

The sheet stupidity of it is just mind boggling.

You took a buttload of sleeping pills. You wake up in the hospital.

You ate an entire bottle of rat poison. It didnt affect you because you live in a third world cpuntry and the rat poison is cheap shit that doesn't really work.

You pumped air directly jnto your veins. A few hours of unconsciousness, a deep pain in your chest and you are awake.

You take blood thinners aplenty and just put a syringe in your arm waiting to bleed out. You loose consciousness the syring falls out and the wound closes up.

You try to cut your veins up with a knife. It isnt sharp enough

Its a bad comedy. Made infinitely more funny by the fact that after the first one no one even notices. You fall unconcious and wake up in your bedroom. You curse your own incompetence and get around to cleaning up. You of course dont want to bother anyone with the mess so you make everything spotless. Put some gauze on the wound and go sleep off the headache or whatever.

And then after no.5 you just give up.

Like most other things you are incompetent at this too. Who could've guessed?

Then you spend the next few years of your life just aimlessly wandering through life. One step in front of the next. Not aiming for anything. Not really doing anything. Going to sleep at night wishing to anyone who listens that perhaps this time you wont wake up. Then opening your eyes every morning and just loosing even more of the hope that you didnt even know you still had.

Its pretty exhausting.

And now you are at a point in life where people actually expect things frim you and you cant give it to them. You never planned for this. You never expected to be here at this time. All that you want is release.

You are soo tired. So so tired. Every morning you have to struggle with yourself to be able to just lift yourself up. Your body aches everywhere but you just cant be bothered by it. Everything is just grey monotones. You dont remember what happened over the last year or so. You dont know how time works anymore. You blink and a week has passed. A week in which you would struggle to find a single point at which you could have said to be alive. Just a mindless automaton doing chores and acting normal. As normal as he can though. A week passes in a blink and now its the opposite. You blink and it lasts for an eternity. Each tick of the clock clings to you. Refusing to let go. Drags you down to it. Makes you aware of the banality of every single moment. Stretches it out until it is all that has been and all that will always be while being nothing at al.

Tick

Tock

Tick

Tock

You are going mad arent you?

You wanted to die and now you are dead. In all the ways that mattered but in none of the ways you wanted. A living corpse.

Dead but still tired

Dead yet still afraid

Dead but bound by time

Dead but alive in the cruelest way possible.

I just wanted an end. Is that too much to ask?

Even the fact that you are writing this is a sign of desperation. Shouting it into the void in the faintest of hopes that maybe others can find some semblance of anything, comedy, appreciation, similarity, fucking anything, from this.

Sorry for wasting your time. He is dead. He never was much use to anyone al8ve and his bloated corpse is no different. Its just a bit more long winded.

[unkalaki]

You know what the worst thing is?

Loving the person that makes you hate yourself. Especially when they are your dad. You could be going through life normally, not content or happy. Just normal. Surrounded by worries and tensions of what is and or could be but also having hope and dreams and happiness of one sort. And then they swoop in and in a five minute tirade (one which they will forget mere moments after its utterance) they will strip everything away.

Did you spend the last 2 years if your life slaving away at a job being wracked with guilt for not being enough and for being a lesser version of him. Dont worry, no need to think in 'if' and 'maybe' because he will show you that yes you are. You are the failure that you think you are. No, scratch that. You are worse than that. Especially because when he was at your position he was so much worse. He was sooo good. You could never, even if you attempted everything, be as good as him. That is just a fact. But the fact that you tried shows that you are not just a failure you are an embarrassment. Your faults are a stain on his great legacy. You are the one cross on his perfect record.

And the fucked up thing is, you cant help but agree. You might feel anger, initially at him, but it is directed at yourself. His words just put oil to the flames of guilt. You cant be good enough because you arent even good. And that just makes you feel a hatred, for him, for yourself, for not being what everyone wanted you to be. What everyone expected you to be? For being the miserable pile of lard that you are.

And the most fucked up thing is that you still love him. You love him for what he has given you throughout your life. The material comforts, the education you covet so much but are not able to make any use of, the amenities of life that you have become used to. Everything. Most dont get this. You are and you wasted all of them.

Fuck you. I hate you for doing this to him. For being such a burden on him.
