It’s called the foot-in-the-door method. First, you propose something that is slightly outside of allowable norms: denying gay people wedding cakes on grounds of “religious freedom”. Then, you slowly ramp up how extreme your demands are, coercing the other side to giving a tiny bit of ground each time, until you’ve shifted the entire fucking playing field. Conservatives are also very fond of the door-to-face method, which is demanding something completely outlandish that you know will be refused, and then asking for something less ridiculous by way of compromise, again resulting in a gradual shift in norms until views that were once considered moderate or reasonable become unthinkably liberal by destroying people’s sense of standards. The combination of these methods is called the “foot-in-the-face” method, which sums up where this whole thing is headed quite nicely.
three internet trends i will (regrettably) probably never grow out of:
• typing in a cresCENDO TO EXPRESS EXCITEMENT
• …………..unnecessarily……. long……….. ellipsis’
• puttinfh a typo in eveyr other word to shwo u dont really give a fukc but u actually do
also unnecessary!!!! punctuation marks??????? like…… ??? what is going on here????? i!! am!!! so!!! excited!!!!
and™ totally™ unneeded™ trademark symbols™
personally I enjoy Random Capitalisation to show things are Very Important
can we also talk about starting a sentence and then kind of just
stating something reblog if you agree
dude this isn’t even a collection of memes, this is a demonstration of internet grammar… anyone who says that when you type and communicate on the internet you lose too much inflection to get the real meaning just doesn’t understand internet syntax. the evolution of language in action.
the Rosetta Stone of the twenty first century
Also :) doing :) this :) to express :) bottled :) pain :)
or,,,,,using commas,,,,,, for elipsis’ ,,,, bc,,, it sounds better,,, in your head,,,, than periods,,,,,,,
pu t ting sp a ces in your wor ds at r and om time s because w hat the fu ck
Is it just me, or did anyone else read all of these with different tones of voice, volume, and inflection?
Don’t forget the B I G S P A C E S F O R E M P H A S I S
or dOiNg tHiS
Or ending a sentence with a hyphen to show that you’re speechless-
Almost all the other monsters bounce and sway as well.
What’s weird about Papyrus’ battle is he doesn’t move at all.
His cape could be flowing in the wind. But no. Completely still. He could be moving at ALL but nope.
But you know what’s REALLY WEIRD?? During the battle…Papyrus’ mouth doesn’t even move.
watch a playthrough again….i’m right.
During Papyrus’ date he moves, his mouth moves, his expression changes, he’s very active.
But in his battle? Nothing. A statue. It’s like there’s a cardboard cut out of Papyrus. Papyrus, the most active charecter in undertale not moving a mother fucking inch.
Blink Motherfucker.
Hey so, real quick.
A Bunch or the reactions are people say “Oh! He’s concentrating on not killing you!”
Which…..I actually took the exact opposite interpretation.
Because, think about the movement in battles. Who moves the most?
Omega Flowey
Undyne the undying
Asriel Dankerr
Mettaton
Mad Dummy
People who are putting their ALL into killing you. Putting in all their concentration and effort into ending your little motherfukn lifu.
The people who move the least? (besides Papyrus the paper cutout)
Toriel
Nabstablook
most of the minor battles
Asgore
So, Toriel: Who does not want to kill you, and due to her lack of concentration on her attacks and more on her emotions causes the attacks to miss you. (Can still easily accidentally kill you) But still, distracted. Not putting her all into the battle
Nabstablook: Who needs ghost depression therapy. Really not feeling up to it right now. Not putting their all into it.
Minor monster battles: They do MOVE, and a lot of them do extensively, but they’re more still than like, Undyne or MTT. They’re only fighting you out of obligation. Not putting their all into it.
Asgore: He moves more than the other’s I pointed out, but his movements are small. He bounces slightly and slowly, if he moves it’s for his trident attack. Because well, he does NOT want you dead. He does NOT want that seventh soul. He’s not putting his all into it.
(Note: Sans is kinda an inbetween. bc he bounces a bunch and dodges and teleports a HELL of a lot. moves his arm. but he also like, aint moving a lot compaired to Asriel and Undying if you get me.)
D-Do you get where i’m coming from?
The Sprites that move the most? Putting in EVERYTHING into this battle. They want you dead. They are using all their energy and strength to end you.
The Sprites that stay still? Not putting in their all.
Not putting in their all.
Papyrus has the same amount of energy he usually has during his date, and the finale. He zips and zooms around the screen like a ping pong ball.
He is always putting in 110% into every little thing he does.
In his battle, he is still. A statue. A motherfucking plastic barbie. Not even moving his mouth.
(Note: I think some sprites don’t move their mouths in battle screens, but Papyrus moves his jaw later on the date, the dump, and in the finale. There is no excuse for him not moving his mouth during battle. But you know who else never moves their mouth bc he’s to lazy to? Sans the mother fu-. Sans is never putting in his all and doesn’t even bother to move his mouth to words.)
(Also note the only time he makes a diffrent expression is when you hit him, and not for long)
Papyrus isn’t putting in all his energy.
Papyrus isn’t putting in all his power.
Now listen, If when using his bare minimum, he can still control his attacks to a point where you cannot die, he can summon words spelled out and a GIANT FUCKING BONE, have a whole conversation with himself and not paying attention while fighting you, holy fuck.
I don’t want to know what Papyrus is like putting in his all.
The real reason Flowey befriended Papyrus was because of Papyrus’ unmatched raw power.
Good time to bring back the fact that everyone has two vines around them except Papyrus who has four.
Tbh with how much Flowey experimented with resets he could have seen Papyrus actually trying and I wanna see the look on that bastard’s face when he got yeeted from the ruins to new home and back.
papyrus could be an all powerful being, literally capable of killing literally everyone in the underground
but is like “NAH, I’M JUST GONNA CHILL OUT HERE WITH MY SPAGHETTI AND DINOSAUR EGGS OATMEAL”
that just radiates big mood to me, and i wish i knew why
shaggy, papyrus, and kirby are the trifecta of “can i destroy you in an instant? yes. would i rather just have lunch? also yes”
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.
