anyone else know a dog that will, every time without fail, walk over and blot their wet jowls on your leg after drinking water?

“It’s time to get on the ferry and say goodbye!”

To Coupeville?! Which is even smaller than Port Townsend?!

I am enjoying Dead Boy Detectives so far for several reasons, but it is absolutely cracking me up that it takes place in Port Townsend, WA.

Like. There are all of 10,000 people there. “Get on a ferry and go away.” Okay?? The Port Townsend ferry goes to Whidbey Island and not even the populated part of Whidbey Island it’s like the middle of fucking nowhere. You then have to drive an additional forty minutes in either direction to get to Deception Pass or the Clinton ferry to get back to the mainland.

I cannot emphasise enough that Port Townsend (while adorable and a place I like!!) is… nawt big enough for the story they’re telling lol

#like!!!!! #there is one (1) ferry out of port Townsend #it goes to an island. it goes specifically to the keystone crossing ferry terminal #dead boy detectives

every so often, you just have to come to terms with the fact that timothy omundson is extremely handsome, and he tricked you into forgetting. again. bc he's actually a fantastic character actor who exclusively plays tools.

I understand the appeal of wanting every adult hero to instinctively adopt teenage Peter Parker, but can it really beat the hilarity of acknowledging that at 15 Peter was 5'10", unusually buff, went by a moniker with Man in it, wore a creepy full face mask, and had a tightly guarded secret identity and probably a Queens accent thick enough to have come out of a jello mold, and adult heroes reasonably responded to him by going, “Wow, this grown man is an immature asshole for no reason.”

I just love it when video games let you do really stupid shit that kills you immediately. I love being like "oh this is a terrible idea" and being able to do it and then die. It's good game design.

This is so random but I was rereading ur time loop fic (one of my all time fav fics from any fandom btw, I read it Before I got into the 911 fandom LMAOO part of the reason I got into the fandom--) and I clicked on ur tumblr and I GASPED SEEING THAT U WERE THE PERSON WHO MADE THE SHAWN AND GUS DRIFT COMPATIBLE POST /pos

U have very good taste in tv shows that's all Im gonna say (I love psych so so much, I miss it everyday)

I did make the Shawn and Gus drift compatible post, although the beauty was really enhanced by other people's additions.

I'm glad you enjoyed the time loop fic! I had fun writing that one. And thank you for the compliment! <33

Season 1 of Veronica Mars was the best because they made choices like switching Logan’s locker from a top locker that we see in the Pilot to a bottom locker to give us maximum peak baby girl moments of him looking up at people like this while on his knees

Or this ridiculously flirty moment between LoVe

None of these moments would hit the same if he was standing at his full height. It’s stuff like this which is why I don’t get all bent out of shape when things in tv shows don’t make perfect logical sense all the time. They didn’t waste unnecessary time trying to explain why he had a different locker they just knew they needed a change because they were changing the trajectory of his character and what better way to help turn a psychotic jackass into a beloved love interest than to give him a more humble demeanor by having him on his knees looking up at the Principal and Weevil while Veronica LITERALLY comes down to his level to be like hey look it!! Equals!!

Bruce Wayne, sitting in a cute eco-friendly cafe while on a video call with Tim: Oh Noooo, are you sure there’s no way the board of directors will let us get rid of this old decrepit Wayne Factory building that is unsafe for our workers and also for the surrounding environment?

CEO Tim, with equal gravitas: No, I’m afraid they just won’t budge. It technically meets legal requirements on paper, and we can’t prove that the chemicals affecting the local ecosystem that have no other possible source are from the out-of-date drainage system… they’re saying it would cost too much to fix the place up too, which is ridiculous, because we’re us, but our hands are tied…

Bruce, full Brucie himbo mode: Oh I just feel so SAD for all the sweet fluffy animals and the pretty flowers and especially our hard workers dealing with such unsafe conditions… I think I’ll give them all a nice short vacation this weekend, so the ENTIRE PLACE will be EMPTY and SHUT DOWN from FRIDAY TO TUESDAY, the SECURITY SYSTEM WILL BE DOWN because it’s just so GLITCHY, I’m sure nothing will happen to the ENVIRONMENTAL STAIN ON OUR COMPANIES NAME THAT WILL BE COMPLETELY ABANDONED FROM FRIDAY TO TUESDAY- Timmy do you think I’m being too subtle?

Tim, snickering: no no you’re doing great Bruce I’m sure they’ve got it

Poison Ivy, on a date the next table over: ( ‘-‘)-☕️

Harley, through tears of repressed laughter: so… we doing anythin’ this weekend?

Absolutely fascinated by the Fairy Walrus Discourse. Naturally, I have a take:

This actually is also a fantastic illustration of a truism about Telling Stories that we all implicitly know but rarely acknowledge aloud: the improbable is far less believable than the impossible.

When you invoke the impossible, you silence the critically thinking, reality checking, lie detecting circuitry. Simpler rules reign supreme.

The Walrus, however implausible, is a thing which is real, and so whatever narrative you imagine either precedes or follows the reveal will be constrained by the envelope of the possible.

This is a webbed site all about Narrative.

The person answering the door to a Fairy is in a fairy tale, and frankly most of us would be overjoyed to find ourselves in a fairy tale. Fairy tales have sensible rules, structures we understand, tropes we love and hate.

A Walrus on your doorstep is just one more giant reminder that the world is a maelstrom of chaos, incomprehensible in its complexity, full of moving parts which obey no narrative. It’s another dose of “what fresh hell is this?”

A Walrus on your doorstep is a burden. A Fairy on your doorstep is an escape.
