Happy Make a Terrible Comic Day! Patt and Matt are back!

[stealthetrees]

I think Grace would be one of those people who when he gets to his 50s and is in great heath will sometimes start conversations with “When I die-“ and Rocky gets upset every time. Grace writes a will and specifies all the best ways to dissect humans so the Eridians can learn as much as possible about his body, while also detailing human funeral customs of different cultures, which they do not have to follow because Grace wants to be dissected and also leaves instructions on how to preserve any specimens they get. Unfortunately because he lives in a sterile terrarium/zoo enclosure his body probably wouldn’t rot so they can’t see the decomposition process. Grace is more upset about this than the scientists.

[tejoxys]

I raise you, though:

they get around to talking about WHY humans age and die so soon, and the Eridians are like, oh it's your genetic coding getting gradually mangled? it's your telomeres? fucking telomeres? (also your horrifying atmosphere slowly burning you alive but one problem at a time here)

so they wait until the senesence is really affecting him and then they go to the lab and they lobster him up. first human to live 500 years

[mikkeneko]

I will say that's pretty on brand for every problem Grace has brought before Rocky to date.

surprisingly forward-thinking of jim henson and co. to make a female character in the 70's that's allowed to be loud-mouthed and violent and kind of overwhelmingly romantic and even a huge bitch at times and not have a moment where any character asks her to change

[ankle-beez]

going through all the muppet movies in a row made me realize that like. miss piggy was made in the 70's. and it's so rare even today to have a character like her. she's loud, she's selfish, she's funny, she's extremely vain, she's obsessed with romance, she's violent, she's kind of annoying, and there's not a single moment in any of these films where she's asked to tone down any of these personality traits. i am not joking when i say that miss piggy might be one of the best treated female characters ever written

Somewhere out there is a med school where the true final test is a secret one that's after the official ones, where every single student fails it. The only way to pass is to show up anyway, and they will tell you to fuck off, you didn't pass, you're not graduating, you're not a doctor and you are not qualified to practice medicine.

And if you just keep insisting "that's not true, that didn't happen, that kind of thing never happens and if it did it's extremely unlikely that it would be happening now", and truly believe it from the bottom of your heart, until they give up wrangling you about it and just let you have the medical license anyway. Because only a true doctor can be capable of ignoring absolutely all proof of anything they find inconvenient, and evidence that would contradict with what they've decided to believe.

For all that the 1800s etiquette guides are--obviously--derangedly sexist from a modern perspective? They're also mindblowing in how casually they will assert things that MODERN DAY CONSERVATIVES would scream and cry and shit their pants about.

"People back then always married young it's natural!!!" Every single 1800s guide I've ever met casually mentions that, of course, you really shouldn't get married before you're at least 20, and waiting until 25 is usually better.

Or, like. Okay here's a long segment:

Just firmly going "it is crazy sexist to blame The Wife for overspending when thirty seconds of asking questions will immediately establish that her husband was outright lying to her about how much money they had. Talk to your wife like a normal person."

Or--okay, here. A section on being honest and not writing love letters in secret, because that's usually a good sign that there's something untoward going on....

....except that he then immediately acknowledges that sometimes, the reason you're hiding this from your parents is that your parents suck. That there are parents who frankly have not earned the right to approve or disapprove of your partner.

(I realize the phrasing there sounds a lot less strong than my summary, but--trust me on this. When you're familiar with the narrative voice of these kinds of books, this passage is downright radical. The mere acknowledgement that if you treat your kids badly, it's your own damn fault when they don't talk to you? I've genuinely never seen that before in this genre. Don't freak out over "properly trained", either. It's just a linguistic shift--at the time, "training" was used the way we would say "raising" a child today. )

my controversial opinion is I don’t think Zuko was confused by “my first girlfriend turned into the moon”

[kyoshi-lesbians]

he was there during siege of the North. he infiltrated the spirit oasis. he has an uncle who studies spirits and the spirit world. he watched the sky go dark then the moon suddenly reappear like everyone else in the entire world did. and most importantly he watched zhao get eaten by a giant godzilla fish spirit.

[kyoshi-lesbians]

his entire life since he saw that beam of blue-white light in the south pole has been ‘this day has already been so goddamn weird’

[edgar-allan-possum]

The only really new information was that that was Sokka’s girlfriend

[library-graffiti]

Important opinion in the tags that I need to have be part of the post:

[clearascountryair]

Also, Iroh was there? He literally watched Sokka make out with the moon spirit. And you want to tell me that a romantic sap like him would not have immediately told Zuko about this romantic tragedy? Please, Zuko has known about this for ages, he just knows that this is not an acceptable situation in which to say “yeah, I know.”

[terriwriting]

Sokka: “My girlfriend turned into the moon.”

Zuko: “I know.” “Yes.” “She sure did.” “Uh huh.” “Tell me something new.” “Are we still talking about that?” “That’s rough, buddy.”

[alexseanchai]

[image: tags by samwisethebold: #it’s not that he doesn’t get what sokka means #it’s that how on earth do you respond to that]

[uberguber89]

When you put it like that, this is actually a legendary display of tact on Zuko’s part

[adhd-vibes]
