Linux apps have some of the strangest names, I swear. Like, you'll be scrolling your package manager and see an app called "Pussy Torture Chamber" with an icon of a cartoon vagina in chains, and then you find out it's the most beautiful, open-source, free to use, indie-developed, professional-grade, quality of life word processor that's ever existed.

why elmo is a mutant/mutant blood: a theory (homestuck is referenced of course)
this is a joke i promise i was 11 when i came up with this + angry at elmo so i wanted a reason to bully him
ive been like adding more to this “theory” throughout the years to make this sound stupider and stupider
Let’s start off with Elmo’s name, one thing to take into consideration is many writers like to name their characters after note-able characteristics. Example, Karkat’s name has Sanskrit origin. (Karkata which correlates with the zodiac cancer)
Moving along, Elmo’s name can be split up to two syllables. “El” and “Mo”. I’m going to pay attention to the second part of the name first. Have you ever heard “No mo’”? No mo means “no more”, mo being the shortened version of more.
As for the first part of the name, “El”, we know that el is a word used in multiple languages. In Spanish, el means “the”. (I *think* el in Spanish comes from Latin where el means “that one” rather than “the”)
Using the Spanish form of “El”, when you combine El and Mo you get “TheMore”. With this, we can infer MANY things about Elmo. For the sake of petty 11 year old me, let’s say this implies that this means that he’s made more of one component. “TheMore” simply cannot be singular, it has to be plural, right? Like I mentioned earlier, writers often name characters after something they’re related to.
Now that we have that massive stretch out of the way, let’s talk about Elmo’s physical appearance. Obviously, the dude is a monster no doubt. However, he’s a CANDY RED monster. The asshole has bright red fur. You know who else is associated with that same bright red? Karkat Vantas, Kankri Vantas, and The Signless. All MUTANT-blooded trolls from Homestuck. How sickening.
The Signless/Sufferer from Homestuck is sometimes referred to as “troll jesus” by fans. He was a MUTANT-blood that was known by other trolls for what he said and what he taught. Trolls in general, are very recognizable for their grey skin and orange horns. That’s two things Elmo counts as.
I think we all can understand that Elmo is influential in a way or another. Elmo has been used to teach children many life lessons. He helps children become smarter and stronger. He’s easily recognizable, and is an influence. That sounds pretty simillar to The Signless. Except Elmo isn’t dead.
Now that we can “conclude” that Elmo is a mutant of some sort, let’s dive into the question, “What exactly IS Elmo a mutant of?” Well, obviously he’s got to have SOME of whatever mutant-blood trolls have, but other than that younger me didn’t really think about that part. Shrug
if i said anything wrong about the translation stuff lmk
okay thank you for listening to me ramble about the most STUPID shit ever cheers

Frazzled nerves and above all exaggeration... I was always conscious of this little weak spot and sometimes I have been very much afraid of it. ‘I exaggerate everything, and that’s what makes me lame,’ I repeated this to myself hourly.

The point is that descriptive writing is very rarely entirely accurate and during the reign of Olaf Quimby II as Patrician of Ankh some legislation was passed in a determined attempt to put a stop to this sort of thing and introduce some honesty into reporting. Thus, if a legend said of a noble hero that 'all men spoke of his prowess' any bard who valued his life would add hastily 'except for a couple of people in his home village who thought he was a liar, and quite a lot of other people who had never really heard of him.' Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like 'his mighty steed was as fleet as the wind on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three,' and any loose talk about a beloved having a face that launched a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed look like a bottle of champagne.
Quimby was eventually killed by a disgruntled poet during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb 'The pen is mightier than the sword', and in his memory it was ambended to include the phrase 'only if the sword is very small and the pen is very sharp.'
  —  The Light Fantastic (Terry Pratchett)

Megan Thee Stallion has fucking ruined music for me. HISS is so good, there is truly no going back after listening to it. I’m here trying to find new songs on Apple Music’s Discovery Radio, so I can just have a good, chill time, but I fucking can’t because every song that plays I’m just like “damn… wish this had the energy and rhythm of HISS...”
I’m never going to recover.

Apology dance from Turtleneck Crowley
Guys I was having trouble getting some lighthearted exaggeration across in my posts 😭(aka Neil being the ultimate Crowley kinnie, Aziraphale and Crowley becoming cannon in season 2 even though I already knew they were in love since first written, Ariana grande’s side to side being the ultimate meta as to why he walks like that, etc) and was quite honestly rolling my eyes and getting sarcastic but I realized not everyone gets my humor and
I should use tone tags!!!
Sorry!
/not sarcastic now
/no really /omg how do I stop sounding sarcastic and genuinely sound considerate
/serious
Sorry, I impulsively make jokes and so
(The joke here was that I can’t stop sounding sarcastic even when I mean it and the repetition was funny because it’s a never ending loop)
!I am honestly not trying to be condescending to those who don’t understand certain jokes because I have too much respect for myself to be an asshole like that and I also know some of you have autism which makes sarcasm difficult to understand and I completely empathize with that ! (my mom has autism and finds me insufferable)
Love you all and apology dance for assuming everyone has telepathy 😭🫶🏻 my bad 🥹

seeing this on the TV was the best moment of my life
I cannot stress how much of a percy jackson fan I was back in the day. Actually, scratch that, even now. You name a crazy fan behavior, I bet I've done it and MORE. So this show means a lot to me 💗
