#but now it just sounds like a pun

[tadpolesonalgae]

Currently editing a Rhys fic and just realised a noticeable part of their dialogue revolves around him being ‘in pieces’ and now I want to slap myself

#it was entirely unintentional #but I still hate it #it’s supposed to be a serious scene too #but now it just sounds like a pun #reeses pieces

weeee more fantasy au doodles

#ft. the chanel boots <3 #or. wait. what's a pun on chanel incorporating either 'demon' or 'patron' #cha... chahell... patronel... no that just sounds like citronella #whatever doesnt matter its 6 am i havent slept and i have a low grade migraine I Cant Pun Right Now #on another note i gave poppy a lil neck corset bc. uh. runs away #and her little sling for carrying wally in puppet form! keeping him safe and secure! #and of course barnaby & wally snuggles <3 #yall would not BELIEVE how many doodles i have of them cozy together. its absurd #its just! the size difference i have stuck in my brain is Perfect for wally curling around barnaby's big ol head! #and also Perfect for barnaby holding wally like a stuffed animal! #your honor i love them! #wh fantasy au #scribble salad #I LOVE WALLY'S TALL ASS BOOTS #he needed some HOOVES #and a couple of extra inches. i imaging that while wearing them he's as tall as if not taller than julie/sally #little man on stilts... #and his apple belt! his Eye Shirt! #its not often i so thoroughly enjoy my own outfit design but i think i really did go off with this one

[jabberwockprince]

trying to stay motivated by releasing these two bastards into the wild - Rikki and Ban's new ref sheets <3 minus their other outfits because I'm not done with them. but they're literally soulmates, the best and worst influences/thing to happen to each other, theyre married and divorced, they're found family, they're codependent and clingy, can't stand each other

they also met at a dumpster, somewhere in Nila District, and immediately began planning to scam the shit out NSR and get Rikki out of the archipelago <3

#no straight roads #nsr #nsr oc #nsr rikki #nsr ban #purinsu art #love wins guys. rikki and ban keep getting glow ups #anyway. yes the ship of theseus is somewhere around here with ban #the reason its named beachside archipelago. is so i can make a B-Side pun #theres encore edition. and then theres the b-side edition <3 #the colors for the map are just so i know who's the charter bc i need VISUALS #i wanna be like hey guys feel free to ask me anything. but. my askbox is known to EAT EVERYTHING AND SHOW ME NOTHING........ #anyway there was a reason for this region to be named that. but its lost to history and now no one knows other than 'hey this sounds fun' #also yes its the philippines. but make it vaguely sampaguita shaped

un/fortunately a way my brain works is that i was reading a post abt how to discuss menstruation in a non-cissexist way and predictably someone had commented "'people who menstruate' is too clunky! 'menstruating people' would be better!"

which like. i disagree with that particular take and kind of think it's a skill issue, but. then i thought, well, okay, if concision is the issue, i guess you could always just use 'menstruant' substantively? [this is not actually an improvement, bc it's not a term that will be familiar to most people, but. bear with me.]

and then i thought, okay, but would that make people who get IUDs or are otherwise oligomenorrheal… mens-truants???

#this all sounds like a horrible setup for a pun ik #and technically now that i'm retelling it i guess it is #but the first time around it was genuinely just the thought process that occurred to me #language #menstruation cw

[milkbreadtoast]

can finally put them together... the main 4 charas of this story(*that will prob never be made into a thing but its fun to think abt)!!

*whispers* tentative names: 💚강효준 (kang hyojun), 💙이설(yi/lee seol), 💜유성화 (yu seonghwa), ❤️송혜연 (song hyeyeon). Hyojun(m) and Seol(f) are the protags and Seonghwa(m) and Hyeyeon(f) are on the "opposing side" in the story

#my art #OC #im still deciding on the names but atp i think i might just go w these names #else i'll be deciding forever fkbfmff #actually purple hair(seonghwa?? sunghwa??) was the only one w/o a name #ur yu seonghwa now.... #he was almost yuseong but i already associate that name too much w that mystic messenger mf #but i still like it so. sticks it in secretly w his last name(yu)... im so smart /j (im an idiot) #its so hard picking names when its not ur native lang #as a kor am ive been indulgently making kr OCs all this time but its always hard naming them jfbfn... or any ocs in general #so many r unnamed still #i had decided to name blue hair seol from my friend's suggestion yrs ago #but i wanted to stick in a water pun somehow... 이설 sounds kiiinda like 이슬(dew)... not rly... but i tried #almost changed her name to 슬 but ive gotten too used to 설 by now to change it #hyeyeon's name means like... wisdom and beauty #the hyo in hyojun's name means filial piety/duty; a name given w the hope that he would be an obedient and dutiful son? #o btw seol is a girl KDJSKJD but she gets mistaken for a boy often... both in the actual canon + irl apparently Kzhdjs #it actually makes me giggle bc it means i made her gnc enough... happy #edit: i just realized i made them both S H S H names... i didnt mean to make them sound so similar... IT WAS AN ACCIDENT #HANGS HEAD...

#zeXal #yugioh #yugioh zeXal #Lance watches ZeXal #Yuma Tsukumo #the more i look at it the more Aqua Teen vibes I get from shot 1 #that mask on the wall tho #and shot 2 looks like a Boondocks nod lol #Orbital 7 dueling for Obomi over a misunderstanding of grocery lists after No. 96 was just released lol #kind of a weak ep but not terrible #also his using Googly-Eyes as a Galaxy-Eyes spoof makes more sense getting that 'garakuta' [garbage] is a 'galaxy' pun #and 'fat' sounding similar to 'photon' #i get that the TCG probably couldn't translate the 'garakuta' pun nicely but connecting 'drum' to 'photon' doesn't work quite as well #[though i guess they couldn't call it 'futon' dragon #haven't posted much about my watchthrough 😅 #but ZII has been fun so far especially as it picked up with the Barian plot and Mizael coming in #getting the Alito duel in also helps nicely with the DL event going on now #i'm sure No. 96 being released won't have any negative repercussions whatsoever #looking forward to things from here onwards

im gonna go off on one in the tags pls enjoy

#ive been going by jay online since i was 13 irl since i was 15/16 and my mum cant get used to it #me my friend and both our mums hung out last week and i heard my mum telling his mum 'i just cant get used to [their] name. they want to be #called /jay/ but i just cant do it' literally everyone else including my brother and my dad uses my chosen name #apart from when theyre around my mother! because her force of disgust is definitely more important than my agency and want to be called by #my own name... i have been thinking about wanting to be called another name like. interchangably with my name #and i think id go with yasha. its the diminutive of jay so like. if we friends i want to be yasha x #but also realising how much i want to have autonomy over my name came from picking a name in 2021 for practise in chinese #and my friend helping me decide between something that sounds similar (林植 cos the first character kinda sounds like my eng surname) and a #more literal translation where i was like the translation of jay is 松鸦 i could use that haha and she went but the 鸦 character is awful #you could be 松雅! its then a pun and makes me sound fancy. and i was so happy just making choices and getting to like #pick my own name that peoplw could use. really a revelation. anyway i was kinda on hold for a bit living at home but now im freer hearing #her go on that 'jays choice of name is so hard on me' rant really made me..... start thinking and reminiscing about my name. and me. u know #jay wasnt even my choice its just my initials that i started going by as like. plausible deniability that i wanted to change my name #i remember thinking more about it when i was younger and deciding against other names Specifically because it would be easier to go #'its just my initials!' yeah. im 25 is it too late to change names #sorry for long rambly disjointed rant. hope this was enlightening if u made it this far

Hi, I saw your ideal Elias drawing and wanted to let you know that portraying politically and/or socially power people & people in high positions has roots deep in antisemitism. It's derived from the claim that all or most political figures are actually jewish and that Jews thus 'run the media'.

Some further reading: The Atlantic article on why conspiracy theorists always land on the Jews: https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/10/why-conspiracy-theorists-always-land-on-the-jews/671730/

The Guardian article on QAnon and their roots in antisemitic theories: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/25/qanon-conspiracy-theory-explained-trump-what-is

Wikipedia article on the international Jewish conspiracy, which also has a short 'see also' section linking to two more Wikipedia articles on antisemitic conspiracy theories: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Jewish_conspiracy

I'm sure you didn't purposefully portray Elias as an antisemitic stereotype/conspiracy, antisemitism often hides in plain sight, so I wanted to take initiative.

Have a good [insert relevant temporal word here] :) /gen

anon im going to be so straightforward and real with you

my thoughts on this:

it is a... silly little joke. a pun yknow? EELias? we all have a sensible chuckle

i drew him as an eel because i like eels. i love them so much. i would hug and kiss them.

pr sure the most relevant angle for that antisemitic stereotype is lizard people? and he is not a lizard. he is an eel

my elias isn't jewish? so...?

also elias runs a dumb little institute that relies on donors... he has like 5 dollars... i wouldn't exactly describe him as Politically Powerful

i GUESS you could argue that, well he is literally the guy secretly manipulating all events for his evil plans, but like... that isn't why i drew him, specifically, as an eel? review points 1 and 2

...i think when it comes to why folks might feel the urge to send asks like this... i get it can come from a genuinely well-intentioned place, to an extent. but i've talked before about how asks like these come off and how they make me, personally, feel. it's not your job or obligation to write out an essay explaining to me why [your interpretation of my art] means ive drawn something you feel is bad, and thus need to warn me of

like im sorry but ultimately my feeling is that it's just not that deep and kind of a reach, and this ask is frustrating to me because to me it feels like you're taking the worst-faith reading of something innocuous as an excuse to be pedantic in my direction

#echoecho #and goodness knows i've had enough of that on just this blog #how does this always happen i wonder... i always wake up to these anons #i guess it's just bc im a fool who loves posting right before bed #also the fact that dear anon doesn't even say 'eel' in the ask itself is really getting me #anon i'm going to be 100% real with you. the omission of that word specifically makes it seem like #you thought he was a lizard and immediately wrote all this up and then realized the eel pun afterwards but felt you were already in too dee #so you just sent the ask anyway and removed the word lizard #im sure this is not what happened you probably just forgot to type it but. i think i'll keep my version. at least it's funny #bc right now it just sounds like i cant draw anyone in a position of power period. bc that means they're jewish and it's antisemitic #what a way to start my morning...

I forgot that I never posted her here so! one of my other cog ocs- Sierra Juliet. she's a signal jammer from my adbot department, but she left the business after some personal revelations about the company

she runs a pirate radio station in an attempt to convince other cogs that they deserve better than what cogs inc is giving them. shes hiding out in barnacle boatyard and took the idea of 'pirate radio' a little too seriously with her surroundings, but you cant really blame her for that

shes not exactly friendly to toons- she avoids them at all costs, considering them unpredictable and dangerous- but she could definitely be convinced to work with them to dismantle cogs incs stranglehold on toontown. ultimately she just wants cogs to stop being mistreated, too- that, and to live her life freely.

#toonblr #toontown #toontown cogs #cogs #toontag #alloyart #the adbot department #i enjoy making cogs who suck and fit more into the cog culture so i decided it was about time i had a Cool cog #she just wants her former coworkers to unionize basically #i figured one of my signal jammers was a good fit for a rogue cog because they already look sort of punk-y with the 'mohawks' #plus even the name 'signal jammer' kind of sounds like a rebel cog yknow #sierra juliet might not be her ''real'' name from her old work files because its phonetic alphabet designed to be a pseudonym #but its also probably her actual name now anyway #all this for an excuse to make the CPR pun ;p

[silverselfshippingchaos]

welp... he's on the f/o list now!

#ash rambles 💚 #i thought i'd make him official for new years but i just cant wait any longer #i love him so much and he's all i ever think about and he makes me smile so much #we have a lot in common aksjaks musicians and pun lovers and we have similar music taste and personalities #it sounds cheesy to say but i think we really do get each other. i feel so comfortable and happy with him. he really does feel like a #character that was Made For Me you know? #i'm almost done with his game. i knew i was in love but there's a scene where you see him reflect on himself when he's at his lowest and he #realizes that he's loved and cared for and that his disability doesn't define him and he can be whoever he wants to me #i cant deny that i cried. i knew i was in love but that scene really set everything in stone for me #so... yeah! here he is. my rockstar boyfriend! #my s/i makes music too! he's her muse! #also. (insert joke about indian girl falling for the dude named chai here) #heheh makes me chuckle a bit #but yeah. he's my boyfriend now! and i'm his girlfriend! gah it's so late rn but i'm still grinning like an idiot thinking about him #i'm so in love your honor #man aksjajsj i bet these past few days have been fun for everyone huh? seeing me fall this fast LMAAOO #*whoever he wants to be #damn typos... too down bad for this shit

I’m editing the old chapters of WBTL again. The fourth chapter, and oh my goodness Ángel is so insensitive, it’s insane.

#Personal #Was Born To Lead #He’s not letting me cheat 👍🏻 #We have enough time to make cribs 👍🏻 #I offended you but you know you offended me too 👍🏻 #He’s (Señor Bravo) so awful 👍🏻 #And if we’re being honest Ángel is still insensitive :’D #And I sure thing already edited the first three chapters too and once again Roberto is the worst <3 #Ajhdnfj I feel like I used to be better at writing ‘bad’ characters #Now they all are too wise and thoughtful ajjdkf #I can’t believe I legit named Ángel Ángel because of that angelic personality pun and now I realize it’s actually extremely bad #and just makes zero sense #Anyway I’m editing again because first I have no energy to write the new chapter #second I need to edit punctuation marks because I formatted dialogues wrong all that time #so yeah I’m just peacefully changing points to commas and vice versa #and third I certainly need to make some stylistic changes because those horrible he feels upset fill my heart with sorrow #And random but Señor Bravo calling his students Señor/Señorita also makes zero sense? #I just really don’t know whether it’s appropriate to do it in Hispanic countries? #I mean I’m sure I heard it in some American movies that the teachers call their students Mister and Missis #but Señor Núñez and Señorita Aakster when referred to little kids sounds odd to me #Although Señor Bravo basically was the only one who referred to them like that so maybe it could be explained by his age #but I already changed it to their names it sounds more natural to me so I won’t think about it anymore #Hm but you know in my uni my teachers call us ‘colleagues’ #which also sounds odd aihdkf #What is the name of our new history teacher? #Valerio Álvarez #<3

[boyruggeroii]

Looked up something about wwi because, and ended up on a couple of old threads, from 2007 like, on a wwi forum. It's on me, I shouldn't be disappointed or surprised but frankly I'm sorry for expecting people to like, use their heads or be decent and not try to gobble down booths like they're water

#some cowards shot themselves what can you do #there were brave men but I think if I must be honest that I'd have been a coward and shot myself ahah #well you could yourself now have you considered that? #personal #tbd #I'm not as annoyed as I sound in the post #I come off as more annoyed in writing #I think #a couple of guys also tried to tear to shreds a 17yo girl that just liked wwi and wanted to go to Oxford #I hope she got in #she handled her own more than well btw and some other guys pointed out that those two guys were kinda over the top #pun not intended

[aeide-thea]

probably if i knew i was just gonna be a hermit forever i'd go on T at least a little, i think. (never mind the bit where like. you gotta interact with people to *get* on T.)

which like. i guess makes the current state of affairs a matter of being closeted after all! 🙃🙃🙃

#(the way i phrased that sounds like i'm making a pun of some kind but i'm not‚ it's just despairing facetiousness) #like i'm always like 'oh i don't know what i want!' #but like. let's be honest. i would try things if i weren't scared of having 2 present myself 2 people that way. #like yeah. of course it's possible i wouldn't like them. but honestly i think then it would be like 'hm okay! tried it! good to know!' #and frankly i frequently currently am ugly to myself so like. i know how 2 live that way and it would not in fact be a change! #if anything it would probably be good for me to be like 'okay at least i'm now ugly 2 myself on the basis of something i chose to DO' #rather than on the basis of something i'm avoiding doing bc i'm scared #anyway. i will proceed to do precisely nothing with this information but. good 2 at least be clear that i'm in the closet ig. #(*is* it good? debatable. but i like it / because it is bitter / and because it is my heart‚ as the poet says.) #what is gender we just don't know #feelingsblogging #the psyche

[clownleys]

Okay so, gender is uhh woman adjacent i guess, 26, im abround 172, eyes grey-blue, hair is uh faded mint with massive roots lmao, im into reading queer books & comics, travelling(duh), looking at birds and clouds, touching moss, tattoos and daydreaming about learning how to swordfight and blow glass and make pottery and knives and idk about a dream date, anything can work? maybe a picnic with some card/boardgames and homemade food and playlist of all our fav songs (more ideas no space left rip)

you had me at woman adjacent and never lost me, dear! ofc i'd take you out (in a swordfight) 💗

feel free to elaborate on those other ideas in my DM's ;)) DESCRIBE URSELF ON ANON AND I'LL TELL YOU IF I'D DATE YOU

#no but like #that swordfighting thing? #i've been dreaming of picking that up as a hobby for months now!! #and doing that with someone sounds like a very fun date idea #like just imagine all the sword puns!!! #way to sharpen ur wit #<3 #ask me(me)

Danny's found a way to dodge GIW trackers, as well as his parents. Their equipment hunts ghosts, ghosts run on emotion; so as long as he keeps his under a tight lid and doesn't feel anything ever, they won't be able to track him.

It works!

He's able to run from them, and goes as far as New Jersey. The plan was to stow away on a ship, and go to literally any country that wasn't America. He goes to Gotham, which hosts the one harbor he knows where no one will ask any questions.

But because of how weird he acted (completely emotionless during a Joker attack), he was fingered by police immediately.

He's handed over to CPP. CPP doesn't know what to do with a teen literally so traumatized that they don't show any emotion at all, ever. He keeps just...walking out of his placements. Just leaves without a sound.

Luckily, he's always caught, due to those placement houses having quiet alarms and him refusing to run.

They call the one foster parent they know who does.

Bruce Wayne takes in the strange, nameless kid who refuses to talk.

On paper, they gave him the filler name of 'John Doe', for lack of anything better to do.

Bruce does everything he can to make the newest arrival feel at home. Damian, for as territorial as he is, actually breaks out of his shell sooner than expected just to try to get the new kid to speak. To emote. To do something. Duke tries the open approach, then tries the 'no one will ever know, everyone thinks I'm an innocent goody-two-shoes' approach. Nada.

Tim even tries to trick him into talking, but nothing works.

Enter Dick; Dick heard about Bruce's new ward, about the situation, and decided to see if he could get the kid to open up.

Danny though. Danny's in trouble.

The Wayne Manor is weirdly secure, and he can't just walk away like he did his other placements. He can't use ghost powers or the GIW and his parents will immediately know where he is.

He really, really wants to take Bruce up on his offer and just spend the day relaxing. Respond to Damian's attempts to provoke him. Overshare about space facts with Tim.

But most of all, he really, desperately wants to get in a Pun Competition with Dick. He wants to laugh at Dick's jokes, and learn coolass gymnastic tricks!

But he can't!

If he relaxes with Bruce, he'll be content, which is an emotion. If he argues with Damian, he'll get annoyed, which is an emotion. If he sneaks out with Duke and breaks the rules, he'll get happy, which, again, emotion. If he overshares with Tim, he'll get excited, which is, yet again, an emotion!

The worst sin of all, he can't even show proper appreciation of the food the Butler keeps making him!

And now there's even more people coming over!

There's a quiet girl who keeps reading his body language and trying to get him to dance ballet, a blonde girl who keeps trying to kidnap him to take him to BatBurger, a guy with a stripe of white who wants to take him to a shooting range, and it just...he really, really wants to!

He wants to do all these cool things with them!

But he fucking can't!

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #phanfic #story prompt #danny vibes with dick the most #not that anyone knows that #breaks his little ghost heart that he can't have that pun competition #meanwhile bruce absolutely is running facial recognition #and hitting government firewalls and keeps having to shake off digital tracers #trying to find out who wanted that information #he smells a mystery #and he wants those answer #if cannot get them from their resident Doe #then he'll get it from whoever tortured the boy into silence #sidenote Damian just called Danny Doe instead of John #and danny responded to it quicker because it started with a “D” #that was noticed #now everyone just calls him Doe until his name is found
