96 yr old: You know how your parents probably say things like, “you were BORN with the internet, you don’t know what it’s like to live without!”
Me: yeah
96 yr old: Well, my parents said that to me about electricity.
I once made the mistake of asking a 96yo lady what she liked to watch on tv as a kid and she got a good laugh out of that before saying loudly, “I REMEMBER WHEN RADIO WAS INVENTED.”
My great granma, who died when I was 11 at 99 years of age, loved the absolute shit out of technology.
“I REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST GOT A RADIO,” she said, loudly, because her hearing wasn’t what it was 70 years ago, “AND NOW THERE ARE COMPUTERS THAT CORRECT YOUR SPELLING FOR YOU!”
Acacia wood isnt ugly you’re all just mad that its a niche block instead of multipurpose like the others. You all talk about wanting colored woods, you have orange, if we just had green wood youd hate it too for this same reason but that doesnt mean its bad. acacia looks really nice next to dark oak and gives your build a nice splash of color and maybe if y’all learnt to build something that isnt a rustic spruce wood cabin youd realize that.
these are the facts i refuse to debate on this. if you hate acacia wood then wake up from your meaningless rage and learn to appreciate the finer things in life.
Wait people dislike acacia wood?? It’s my favorite type! :(
character being all “you expect me to do X?” Gilligan Cut to character doing X
the squad gets captured and interrogated separately, and they’re all telling equally terrible, completely contradictory lies
people completely missing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them
alternatively, people absolutely seeing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them and just not giving a shit
bonus points if it’s a beleaguered minimum wage employee who just goes about their business like “yep same shit as always”
someone pretending they don’t know another character is eavesdropping, only to casually reveal at the end of the scene that they know (*leaving* “tell tom that he can come out now” *tom drops from the ceiling in spy gear, irritated*)
choosing to deal with the villain by just leaving them alone in a room with another character
the “hands go down” trope
example: “any questions?” *everyone’s hands go up* “…that AREN’T sarcastic?” *everyone’s hands go down*
how could all y'all forget “ACT NATURAL!”
These are all great but let’s not forget two characters giving extremely biased flashbacks to the same event that each paint the other as an incompetent loon
i would like to respectfully add: scenes where a character walks into a room, sees something scary, and turns around and walks out with no reaction or change of expression
Bonus points if he DOES react, but it’s to close the door and tell his buddy “it’s for you.”
That one character who is like actively dying but insists they’ve had worse and wants to keep fighting
Knocking down a big group of opponents with a bowling ball sound effect
Convenient book titles (“Plot-Related Thing for Dummies”)
Characters giving a flashback and voicing all the characters themselves
ALL OF THESE
the characters fighting in the background and destroying the building while the camera focuses on a janitor listening to music in the foreground and not noticing
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
