This is the best scene in the entirety of IZ imo it’s literally perfect
according to the staff commentary for this episode, the script actually called for heavy traffic to be rushing past Dib and Zim in this scene, which is why they’re shouting at each other, and you can even still sort of hear the sound effects
but then, for whatever reason, in the finished episode they just
forgot the cars
@arr-jim-lad I’m CRYING is that actually a thing that happened, I can’t believe I’ve never heard this
YES
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS AS A LITTLE KID AND THINKING IT WAS SO FUCKING FUNNY, ME AND MY BROTHER WERE DYING.
Another for the lost in translation category.
The original request from the writing team to the animation team was simply: “Rhys flips off the monitors as he runs by.” The intent was to have Rhys simply turn off the monitors in an act of defiance, but instead, the animation team interpreted it to mean that Rhys performs a crude gesture.
Apparently, creative director Nick Herman found the mistake to be too hilarious to not use, and so they wound up shipping it.
in superman adventures #19, there’s a villain named multi-face who can convincingly disguise himself as anyone, even tricking dna tests and x-ray vision. Superman initially can’t stop him
and the only reason he gets caught is because multiface decides to disguise himself as, of all people, CLARK KENT i’m screaming
why do villains always mess up so badly
Clark Kent attending Bruce Wayne’s yacht party where Bruce told Clark to wear his clothes and……
Ta-Da!
Sard borken
This bullshit needs to get into the movies, not edgy-grimdark shit
I especially love the fact that, in many depictions, Bruce Wayne somehow ended up looking similar enough to the one Kryptonian on Earth that they can Parent Trap people
*Deathstroke bursts into the Legion of Doom headquarters* “Guys, you won’t believe this, but I think Bruce Wayne is Superman!“
today I learned that Clark Kent is sloppy drunk and I am in eternal gratitude for that
I’ve seen this post go around a couple of times and I’ve never seen anyone add the time that Clark somehow got high.
i say “somebody’s making brownies in North Dakota” whenever my irl bizarrely strong sense of smell is bugging me plz reblog so ppl will get the reference thx
good morning gay people, men who are shorter than 6’, people who are preheating their ovens, vampires who refrain from drinking human blood for moral reasons, apex predators, people who gave The Room (2005) 5 stars on letterboxd, and classical oil painters
on the one hand this is a joke post because lol i have never made a good post in my life, but also, if i hadn’t made the connection
between this update and my sudden nosedive in activity, i would have been really fucking discouraged about all the shit i’ve been working on lately. i guarantee there are people on tumblr right now who haven’t made that connection, and who are trying to figure out why suddenly no one likes anything they’ve made. and that fucking sucks.
Reminder to go into your settings and turn off ‘Best Stuff First’ because my activity’s tanked a couple days ago for no reason so this stuff IS happening.
You WILL miss content with that setting on.
i ain’t joking when i say that my activity looks JUST like this too and i wasn’t sure why
I can only find the option on the app under Settings > Dashboard Preferences.
To support content creators do us a favour and turn off “Best stuff first”. Open the tumblr app (Android or iOs) and go to “Settings > Dashboard Preferences. And please reblog this post, so that everybody will see this. Thank you very much!
I assumed I just wasn’t writing very well, but maybe it’s not just me.
Am I supposed to pay to get my writing in front of followers now?
We interrupt your regularly-scheduled sci-fi content because this is important for app users, and it sucks. We all follow blogs because we want to see their content, not to have a crappy algorithm decide what’s best.
This blog is down approximately 80%, which doesn’t affect me other than as an annoyance (as this is a hobby and @okayto is small-ish) but the issue undoubtedly hurts others.
Below are instructions for turning it off. You have to do it individually–it doesn’t matter if a blog you follow turns it off, you’ll still be affected unless you do the same.
We don’t normally reblog PSAs, but this is very clearly affecting us, too! If you haven’t been getting your daily dose of RPG humor, this setting is probably why. Turn it off so you can see all the silly shit players say!
Trying to reblog the versions of these instructions with the most notes, so they’ll actually show up for the people afflicted by this update.
Soup should be a human right. In the heart of every town there should be a big pot of soup and you can help yourself. And if anybody meddles with the soup… well. the answer should be obvious.
Just a heads up for anyone else who might find one of these. It’s not JUST a flash. It also releases a bunch of tiny rubber pellets when it explodes similar to a frag grenade. (That kid would’ve probably been dead if it had gone off in her face.)
Yes this is actually a sting ball grenade, and these kind explode & release a bright light, a loud sound, and release rubber balls everywhere. VERY VERY fucking dangerous & this is what’s being shot at people.
You fucking fascists can’t be bothered to do an ounce of research yourself can you? This grenade was picked up in a park by the child the NEXT DAY because the fascist pigs you love are dangerously irresponsible, murderous fucks.
And then your hip would break because their medical staff is garage and they don’t have the same regulations as over so no you’re back to square one you fucking tool
that is american propaganda used to justify their lack of a working healthcare system. it’s not true and even if it was what good would having slightly better healthcare do if it’s only accessible by the richest members of society?
The american middle class thinking they have access to the best medical care in the world is always depressing. For some treatments even the upper middle class would need to spend most of their wealth just to get the same level of healthcare available for free in other developed nations (and some underdeveloped ones). It’s one of the many reasons why life expectancy in the US is ranked on the same level as several third-world countries.
Additionally, american medical research is fantastic, but your works and guidelines are more beneficial to other countries than yourselves due to your fucked up healthcare system.
Also the form of estrogen they prescribed trans women in the 90s, Premarin, looked like this.
And lest there be any remaining doubt.. remember the blue pill? The pill Neo could have taken to forget the truth, bury his troubles and go back to living a normal life, without fearing a system that wanted to destroy him? The pill that was easy, perhaps cowardly according to some, but comfortable?
Here’s Prozac.
For a trans woman in the 90s, where the choice was be safe, suppress, cope, and pretend everything is still how it was, or embrace the danger, accept the truth, realize your full potential, and transition into a world that still thinks you’re a joke and would rather have you dead…. well. The metaphor is pretty fucking clear.
Y’all
Lana came out as a woman after Speed Racer in 2008, and Lily eight years later after the release of Jupiter Ascending (2016), so if you see original home copies of the Matrix (pre-2008), they are referred to as the WachowskiBrothers on it. It was a branding thing, like the Coen Brothers. That’s how they were called, because they were still presenting as male to the industry and the industry sold them as a creative unit.
I remember after Lana came out, the boxes switched to calling them just The Wachowskis, so I imagine now it’s the Wachowski Sisters.
So, yes, they’ve always been sisters, but if you didn’t know that, it’s not your fault. It’s been a long process and I’m glad they did it on their terms in their time.
