The Canaries are so funny because it genuinely took me a minute to figure out what this image even was. It’s a genderbend. THEY LOOK IDENTICAL 😭

I love that Supergiant's answer to "how can we possibly follow up on the first game's rebellious failson protagonist" is to make the sequel's protagonist an earnestly dorky honour-student-with-impostor-syndrome type whose college major is murder.

I would still use my turn signals in the Mad Max Wasteland. They'd call me "Signal" because I'd hit my blinker before ramming the enemy hot rods into the side of a desert ravine. I'd use my turn signal every time. They would respect me for this.

I've kinda found my zen with art theft and reposting

This doesn't apply to when people steal my art for profit or claim it as their own because fuck them

But I've had so many reposts over the years of posting art online, it's way more than I can possibly ever go after, and it used to stress me out at first because it's usually without credit.

But I remember being a kid and finding Naruto fanart on google, printing it out myself and glueing my shitty pixelated prints on notebooks and around my room, never knowing who made these, and occasionally stumbling over one of the artists years later.

And I don't know, the idea of being part of that? Of being in a random scrap book, having one weird little piece of fanart that a complete stranger once saw as a kid somewhere and kinda vaguely remembers years later? Of maybe being a shitty print out somewhere because someone saw a pic they liked? I think that's kind of sweet, that's kind of fun!

So like, I'm just talking about myself here obv, I still prefer when people credit me properly etc, but I also find a lot of comfort in knowing that maybe I can also be the mysterious artist of a specific piece of fan art of someone else's past!

I’m obsessed with this man

Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:

Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.

You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.

When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.

A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)

Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)

The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.

Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.

Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.
