I totally enjoyed doing clean comedy this weekend in Jefferson, Texas, the state’s fifth oldest town! Thank you to my comedy brother Omar Tarango for the queer opportunity to spread my wings sans feathers, and to Mickey and the 1852 on Austin staff for the delicious hospitality. What a swanky venue!
Don't worry. I didn't throw the blue jokes out with the bathwater.
How Standup Comedians Can Keep You from Marrying the Wrong Person
Choosing the right life partner is one of the most significant decisions you'll make, and you might be surprised to learn that standup comedians, particularly clean comedians and local comedians, can provide valuable insights to help you make the right choice.
Clean Comedians: Masters of Everyday Humor
Clean comedians specialize in humor that resonates with the everyday experiences of life, including the complexities of relationships, dating, and marriage. Attending their shows or tuning into their performances can provide you with fresh perspectives on the intricacies of modern relationships.
Clean comedians emphasize the importance of laughter in relationships. They remind us that the ability to find humor in everyday situations is a sign of emotional maturity—a quality that can be essential in a life partner who can share in life's joys and navigate its challenges with you.
Local Comedians: Your Local Dating Scene Experts
Local comedians have an intimate understanding of your community's culture and dating scene. Their humor often reflects the unique experiences and challenges of your local dating pool.
By attending a local comedian's performance, you can gain insights into the dating dynamics specific to your area. This knowledge can prove invaluable when evaluating potential partners who are also part of your local community.
Observational Comedy: Developing a Keen Eye for Character
Comedians are skilled observers of human behavior, using observational comedy to highlight peculiarities and quirks in everyday life. By paying attention to their routines, you can become more perceptive in your dating life.
I have some ideas for shows that aren’t necessarily just straight standup...
Nickey is a longtime comedian who hails from Ohio and has been a fixture in the comedy scene for some time now. A gifted standup and writer, she sat down with us to talk simple, effective comedy, about which kids’ shows to get into next, and about recovery.

A quick note on a show I forgot to mention. Check out Christianskitscripts.com
The site here isn’t just about the skits you can do yourself. It’s also the home of The Sheep Laughs Comedy Show. It’s a podcast with several episodes to listen to and laugh, cleanly.
Aah, I’m so happy I made it in in time! 💙✨ Merry Christmas, tumblr nation! Here’s a little comic about 03 Usagi and Leo going so see the Rockefeller tree after the events of the Christmas Aliens episode.
Little post about events earlier that night
Also this is literally how maskless Leo looks to me, he’s so moomincore ;
Okay so realistically speaking, giving birth is an excruciating, painful nightmare, and from the few Crocodad fics I've seen most people seem to prefer to write realistic pregnancy and make Luffy's birth a (physically) painful thing. Because it makes sense, it might be more relatable for some writers that way etc, and that's perfectly fine (like genuinely, it's not an issue at all, this is not a critique or a complaint)
God I don't know how to make this segue- Have any of you watched Ore Monogatari!! (My Love Story)? It's a great early 2010s romantic comedy series, funny as hell, super cute and sweet, would reccomend, but that aside. During the series the protagonist Takeo's mother gets pregnant and she ends up giving birth to Takeo's baby sister. And it's that scene, where Takeo's baby sister is born, that I keep on thinking back to whenever I wonder how Luffy's birth might've gone.
Takeo and his mother alike are Sturdy Motherfuckers. Like absolute gigachads, borderline superhuman, it's great and it's funny as hell. And because of that near superhuman nature...
Takeo's mother goes to give birth at 4:15 pm. And she has finished giving birth at 4:16 pm. One fucking minute is what it took for this woman to bring a child into this world. An absolute legend
The screencaps do not do justice to how fucking funny this is in the actual episode
And so like
Like we know Crocodile's been through absolute hell, being an amputee and all. And as Domino told us at the entrance of Impel Down, we also know the man did not even flinch when forced into Impel Down's traditional 200 Celsius cleansing bath (or 392F)
So Crocodile has better pain tolerance than the average person. Like, you might have to put in a bit of effort to cause him actually hurt. So if giving birth to Luffy was an absolute cakewalk for Crocodile, not only would it make perfect sense in-universe and be completely in-character for him, but also
Sometimes I forget I'm still young and have a whole life ahead of me. I can slow down, I don't have to worry as much as I do.
If I change my state and just decide that I'm exactly where I want to be the opportunities will find their ways to me.
