the road to el dorado when in the context of a d&d game is the most astounding and hellish streak of 1′s and 20′s
“The people think that you’re gods, what do you do?”
“…we go along with it.”
“Roll performance.”
“…I got a one.”
“Your foot gets caught in the stirrup while you try to dismount from the horse. You look ridiculous.”
“Well I rolled a twenty.”
“…somehow, a volcano stops erupting on your cue. Everyone falls to their knees in awe.”
“I roll to come up with an escape plan”
“Alright roll”
“…I got a one”
“I try to convince the horse to break us out”
“Roll…animal handling?”
“I got a twenty”
“You have been caught playing ball with the locals. What do you do?”
“I roll for persuasion…one.”
“You and your fellow player are roped into playing a game against a rival team of the biggest, buffest people imaginable while the entire city watches.”
“We decide to try cheating.”
“Okay, roll.”
“Twenty.”
“You use a physics-defying armadillo as a ball and he helps propel you to the win.”
i dont think ill ever get over merles line in the beach episode “they dont like my gifts?” bc (1) what a fucking perfect line delivery from clint mcelroy, and (2) to this day i dont know whether merle was being genuine or if he was fucking with lucretia IC and that’s beautiful
my best guess is that he was absolutely fucking with lucrecia but wanted to get some sympathy points because he was poisoned the entire trip
finding out people dont usually add numbers by first adding something to make a ten (for example 7+6= 7 plus 3 is 10 plus another 3 is 13) & that its actually an adhd thing is the WILDEST shit literally ive lived like 10 years (or however old i was when i learned to add and stuff) thinking thats how everyone does it. what the fuck
What
It’s also an autism thing, apparently.

Oh yeah! This is also part of why autistic people/people with adhd struggle in math classes. Our brains process math and numbers in a totally different way. Many people on the spectrum struggle with the “show your work” part of math because we can’t exactly tell you why it works/how it works. We just kinda do it
Into The Spiderverse is proof that live-action superhero movies will never look better than what animation can deliver. Imagine what we could have if animation weren’t so regularly seen as a lower art form than live acting. Honestly, on every aesthetic level Into The Spiderverse was absolutely phenomenal. Art direction, animation, music - all of it.
