Guys, I keep seeing that post going around about putting uncooked spaghetti noodles in your tablet pen to work as replacement nibs, and I know OP means well and stuff, but PLEASE DON’T DO THAT.

Pasta, no matter how smooth it is, is still a product of dry flour, and rubbing it down on a surface creates micro-sized grit that will scratch up your screen faster than any tablet nib, and they wear down even faster, so it won’t even be worth it. Also, it’s so brittle, if it breaks inside the pen, it will be difficult to clean it out.

Tablet nibs are a pain to replace and buy, but buying a 10 pack of them for $7-8 on Amazon is going to be a better choice than having to pay a heftier sum to repair a scratched up tablet surface/screen.

Spread this post if you can, because I’d really hate to see someone accidentally damage their tablets this way.

and when I try to fit it to one of the longer such lines, my mental voice becomes too confused about conflicting scansion to continue

no one’s droll like gaston
no one’s swole like gaston
no one fits his assigned gender role like gaston

I’m especially fond of the paaaatriaaarchy
My what a guy that gastooon

Hey remember that scene from It Could’ve Been Great where there was this ominous flouting sphere and Steven was like “wtf is that” and Garnet was like “that’s not what we came for” and then they focused the camera on it for a few seconds with creepy music and then never fucking addressed it again

this orb represents every single loose plot thread the writers have created and never returned to

I feel like a healthy chunk of the criticisms of Steven Universe’s plot endures are a love for the show mixed with impatience manifested as anger.

In episode 6-SIX-we learn that Garnet has three eyes, one red, one blue, and one purple. The next episode we’re introduce to a two gemed, two eyed fusion named Opal and the concept of fusion.

It’s not until episode 49 that this massive, two gem alien named Garnet is revealed to be a fusion. Did the writers forget for 43 episodes to tell us that Garnet is a fusion and then decided haphazardly to tell us during Jail Break. No, of course not. That’s why we saw Ruby and Sapphire’s silhouette in Fusion Cuisine. That’s why we saw Garnet activate a red and blue gem at the Crystal temple. That helps it not feel like the writers pulled this out of thin air. It’s what makes it feel earned.

Steven Universe is a lightly serialized show. Every single season of Steven Universe has been littered with character driven, individualized episodes, many that could be ordered differently during the given season. Those episodes are about the characters and are crucial to audience investment. Who cares how exciting it is to watch Alexandrite fight Malachite if we aren’t told the danger of this fusion or the weight Malachite has on her component gems (Chilie Tid). Occasionally we get glimpses of we’re the plot is headed before we get plot centric episodes.

Don’t asked this show to sprint to the finish line. Steven Universe has always been a slow boil. I don’t know why fractions of this fandom are pretending like this is brand new or some uniquely bad story telling. I think Cartoon Network understands that serialization builds audiences but when it’s too heavy it stops people from watching because they don’t understand what’s going on. It’d be nice if the fandom did too.

the whole show is a slow burn

  • sentient chess piece so mad about wearing a hat he goes on a murderous rampage across multiple universes, he eventually becomes part ultimate spirit dog
  • alien empress in a latex bodysuit with a trident who speaks solely in fish puns and is also betty crocker
  • omnipotent guy with a cueball for a head
  • big buff green skeleton time travelling alien demon with a peg leg
  • alternate version of big buff green skeleton time travelling alien demon with a peg leg, as a 13 year old 4chan user who hates women
  • a puppet, which is the vessel for big buff green skeleton time travelling alien demon with a peg leg’s soul
  • guy fieri 
  • some juggalos specifically the icp
  • an alien capricorn clown who can never die

It should be noted that the 13 year old green skeleton 4chan user who hates women isn’t an alternate version of the big buff green skeleton time traveling demon with a peg leg, it’s just him when he was younger. he grows up to be the big buff green skeleton time traveling alien demon with a peg leg

this is so funny because it says “guy fieri” but that’s not a joke he’s actually a villain

he’s a supreme court justice who gets his eyes gouged out with magic knitting needles

A recent meme post actually confirmed you can use spagetti as nibs for your wacom and it works just fine! it actually fucking works and wow.

By far, this is one of the best life hacks an artist could find.

yes, this means you won’t have to worry about buying new nibs for your wacom, horray!

THIS NEEDS A BOOST

WHAT THE FUCK

REBLOG TO SAVE A LIFE

NO DO NOT DO THIS!

1) spaghetti noodles are very brittle and will break easily and get stuck in your stylus meaning you’ll have to buy a whole new stylus.

2) it will scratch up your tablet something fierce

3) do you want ants? because this is how you get ants

That’s actually heterophobic, and no, don’t say that’s not a thing ‘because straight people have never been opressed’.
It seems like today’s society, especially on Tumblr, with big websites such as Buzzfeed promoting it even more, favour the opressed minority over the majority, which is not okay, because they should be equals, and by putting the ‘opressed’ on a pedestral, you’re degrading and actually OPRESSING the others.

I can’t believe buzzfeed is Oppressing the Heteros

Gay person: I get excited seeing the kinds of stories that are usually reserved for straight ppl feature ppl like me because I rarely see myself represented

Some Het™: ummmm this is oppression :-/ i once got an answer on a buzzfeed quiz I didn’t like…..the heterophobia is real

Ahahahahahahahahaha

The heteros are wild.
