you know that part in emperor’s new groove when devil kronk is like “that’s nothing. look what I can do” and does a one-handed handstand and then angel kronk is like “he’s got a point”? that’s two brain cells representation babey
For the 3rd year in a row I’m seeing people give Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events a try and then get disapointed/angry that nothing good ever comes out of it that everything always seem to go wrong for the Baudelaire and I’m just… if only someone, anyone…. had warned them
me: *is repeatidly told by the story itself that it doesnt end well, has a title sequence song that is just about how one should stop watching immediately because it’s sad, the narrator, each episode, tells me that i have an option of not watching it and proceeds to wait a few seconds for me to leave*
A Series Of Unfortunate Events: *isn’t a happy story*
adora pretends to not know what some of the most common things are and it drives glimmer and bow absolutely crazy. one time she asks glimmer what soap is just for shits and giggles and she fucking loses it
bow: i’m gonna go take a shower
adora, completely deadpan: what’s that
bow:
she also explicitely asks about things that glimmer knows fully well that she knows because she’s referenced them in the past and it drives her up the wall. glimmer: WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHATS A SHOWER, YOU ASKED IF THE WATERFALLS WERE FOR SHOWERING WHEN YOU FIRST ARRIVED"
jeff and aaron drifted apart because he didn’t approve of aaron’s choices, so he pushes miles to attend this private school because he knows miles is capable of it and doesn’t want him to “end up like [his] uncle”. later, after aaron dies, jeff realizes that he doesn’t want him and miles to drift apart too so he comes by to tell miles that though he may push him, he respects/supports whatever miles chooses to do because he knows he’ll be great at it
once you get bitten by that spider you can never go back, no matter how much you want to. you may not get a choice in having those powers, but it’s up to you to choose how you want to use them. peter chose to become spiderman. miles chooses to become spiderman.
miles’ untied shoelaces are initially just a way of rebelling against his father but become a character feature throughout the movie. even in his most iconic scene, when he leaps from the building and “becomes spiderman”, his shoelaces are still visibly untied. they become a signifier of his individuality and how he chooses to be spiderman his own way
Our party was fighting the first boss (an evil wizard) of our campain and I was playing a Tabaxi Bard. The boss was down and only had a few hp left and was trying to convince us to let him have the Amulet we were there for.
Wizard: “You don’t understand… that amulet has more power than you could ever imagine. I would do anything to get my hands on it.”
Me, Bard: “Anything?”
Wizard: “Yes, anything.”
Me, Bard: “Then perish.”
Me: “I cast Vicious Mockery.”
DM: “The- The wizard falls to the ground as the cruel words shatter his last hopes and dreams.”
