#it was fucking hilarious and confusing

[inkskinned]

i have so much to say about this but like. fuck social media for making certain types of "pranks" popular. just as a blanket statement? if the intent of a prank is to humiliate someone without their consent, there is a good chance what you're doing is actually just bullying.

and if you record that person, you are being twice the asshole in that situation. recording someone takes away their agency. do you really think someone you just humiliated on camera is going to have both the bravery and presence of mind to calmly ask you to please delete the video if it makes them uncomfortable? and do you think the people who pull these kinds of pranks would be like - oh sorry, sure, let me delete it, no problem.

"pulling a prank" is like. supposed to be funny for both sides. when you put people in unsafe situations and then laugh at them/judge them for their response.... like. that's not funny. that's abusive behavior. you are training them to accept their dehumanization. it's controlling and ugly. please fucking have any form of empathy.

if you don't actually care if they feel safe/comfortable, you're not being funny. you're being mean. labelling something "a joke" in hindsight does not undo the damage. it just gaslights the other person into thinking their reaction was invalid. you broke someone's trust and personal boundaries for clout. they deserve to be upset about it.

and as a side note? i will bet you 200 american dollars that most of these "pranksters" would immediately crumble into a huge overreaction if anyone even vaguely reciprocated and put them into that level of humiliation - because it was never about how "funny" pranks are. it was about control and manipulation. they like feeling powerful and they like making other people feel less powerful. which is ... bullying.

#okay bye #i also feel none of these people know how to apologize #when someone's like #its . not funny she got hurt dude #theyre always like IT WAS AN ACCIDENT LIKE WHY ARE YOU BLAMING ME #MAYBE IT'S NOT FUNNY BECAUSE YOU'RE STUPID #like yuh or i respect her personhood????? ig?? #how about u just start doing things that are funny and then i will laugh? #my friend sent me gaara themed items every day for advent #it was fucking hilarious and confusing #bc i would just. find gaara in places #THAT is a good prank. #my family once had the Ice Barbie #which is a head from a barbie that had been frozen in ice #and we would Put Her In Places #the house i lived in w/8 roommates had The Spider and The Rat #both of which would be hidden in Areas #like soup pans and microwaves #totally not discussed #just a funny and fun stupid joke #it's literally that easy #instead tiktok is like #LITERALLY trying to get boys to call girls ''bitches'' just to see ''what happens'' #like you got it!!!!!! that's a prank bc it .... ?????? hurts her feelings #''i prank my girlfriend by being mean to her!!!!'' .... so you bullied your girlfriend for clout and then #made it so she couldn't respond honestly #by saying it was a joke #...... you are somehow both admitting you suck while ALSO gaslighting her about it!!!! amazing.....

Alfred comes home and there's a whole noise from the kitchen.

Alfred: Is everything okay?

Damian: Dumbass is coming out.

Alfred: Oh.

Alfred (to Dick): ...I figured this day would come sooner or later...

Dick:

Alfred: Don't think I didn't saw it my boy, and pardon me if I should said something before...

Dick: No, no, no it's not

Alfred:... I mean It was obvious from the start but I figured I shouldn't press-

Dick: Alfie It's not

Jason: No, no let him finish.

----

Batman: Yes, my kid also came out to me recently.

Superman (to Dick): Oh wow, that's great! I'm proud of you buddy.

Dick:

Dick: What

Tim: It's me.

Superman: Oh

Superman: Oh wow, thats great! I'm proud of you buddy.

Dick: No, wait you can't just-

----

Jon: I'm just glad in not being alone in this, you know.

Titans:

Dick: It's not me.

Titans: "Oh, right. Sure." " Yeah we knew it" "Totally"

#I've been thinking about this since Tim came out beaceus that was pretty much every reaction from everyone I know #And i find fucking hilarious #Tim had more in lore logic but Grayson just screams queer energy and there's no way people around him didn't caught up onto that #jason todd #tim drake #dick grayson #batfam #incorrect quotes #batfamily incorrect quotes #the funniest part is that if gotham knights is cannon he might actually be and this is just him being confused #on how people think he'll need to come out #but if he's not he's the talk Valentina of the family and we love him anyway

Remember when they stole a tank in Six of Crows?

I have not seen enough people talking about that one scene in Six of Crows where Inej, Jesper, and Wylan steal a tank. It is probably my favorite scene in the entire book and I am going to talk about it.

The chaos. The gremlin-ness of all of them. Jesper being so excited to drive the tank. Wylan and Inej manning the turret and laughing their asses off. The tank dragging a dirty, soot-stained banner that says “Fjerdan might” behind it. The poetic revelry and beauty that they all see in the complete and utter destruction they leave in their wake.

The way Nina, Matthias, and Kaz react when they see the tank. Nina starts shouting for joy. Matthias is in so much shock he just does not speak for a minute. Kaz is, and I quote, “grinning like an idiot,” which is one of the only times we see him really truly smile, and it’s an enormous, insane, excited grin. Kaz immediately denies being happy at all and keeps grinning at the tank.

Inej and Wylan popping out of the top and waving to them before blowing up the bridge.

Plus, this is one of the only times we see these characters laugh so much and be so overtly joyful. Wylan laughs so hard his stomach hurts. Kaz is grinning like a little kid. Inej has just bested her abuser and is riding the high of that and of firing a massive gun with Wylan.

And it gives us little snippets of dynamics that aren't focused on as much, like Kaz and Matthias or Inej and Wylan.

Truly one of the most chaotic, hilarious, and fun moments in the entire duology. It’s right up there with Kaz and Wylan crashing through Van Eck’s ceiling and onto a full dinner table to escape the guards, in my opinion.

Anyway I love this scene and we should talk about it more. 1000/10, will continue to re-read forever

#six of crows #the crows #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #wylan van eck #jesper fahey #matthias helvar #kuwei yul bo #I didn't talk about him here but he's also there and is just generally very confused #and it's hilarious #I just think we as a fandom do not talk about this scene enough #which is a shame because I love it dearly #it's just so good #kaz and matthias #inej and wylan #fjerdan soldiers: get out of the fucking tank #the crows: you're not my dad

I said it once and I’ll say it again. Iroh is a boymom.

#iroh talking about zuko: he’s just a little tired today and needs some tea #iroh talking about azula: I hope she fucking dies #I think it’s hilarious and weird how this man will defend zuko to his final breath saying he was a product of his upbringing #but states that azula is not redeemable with the same breath #zuko even clearly expresses confusion when iroh says this #it’s the hating on a teenager for me #anyways it’s just textbook boymom #so I’ll say it again #iroh is a boymom #no doubts about it #azula #zuko #iroh #atla #avatar the last airbender

I need Missa to log back onto the server. Not just to hang out with all the Hispanic ccs that are logging on (although that is absolutely a huge reason) but I just really really need to see his reaction when Phil and the eggs roll up riding fucking dinosaurs

#qsmp #qsmp missa #qsmp philza #bonus points if it happens and the admins have also made him ten feet tall #his wet cat energy will be unparalleled #he will be so confused and it will be fucking hilarious

(Context: im thinking abt my post canon au, i explained on my ao3, u dont even have to read it just know its there)

Mizu revealing her being a woman to taigen AFTER he confesses his feelings to mizu AFTER being bested during their duel once again is literally so fucking personal to me. Jesus fuck... FUCK. Like. How overwhelmingly loved she must feel. How SEEN. Truly for once n not just but loved and wanted!!! Its so personal to me. Just. Taigen, losing, n then immediately leaning in for a kiss. Mizu is lost cuz what?? Why?? N taigen just. Confesses, but hes holding back cuz mizus reaction was not great and he doesn't wanna ruin the friendship they've formed these past months, they've grown so close so fast n its scary but so exciting n so right but if mizu doesnt want this then nothing is happening n its ok he has a CHOICE. Like. FUCK!! N then mizu telling taigen to wait and that night she reveals it. And its just sooo fucking intimate. Its so soft. And maybe taigen is confused but one look at how small mizu is making herself, like shielding herself from him. Like he gets it. The danger of it all. And its his promise to protect her if she ever needs to that does her in cuz. SHE HAS A CHOICE. TO BE PROTECTED OR NOT. THATS SO IMPORTANT TO HER. Yes, she can protect herself. Yes, it feels good to be protected. Yknow??

Mizu revealing her being a woman to akemi totally by accident AFTER they just had an argument abt women's choices in society AFTER mizu accidentally took one (1) big sip of sake, n then deciding fuck it im gonna win this argument, guess what akemi. And that's how akemi finds out. N Mizu thinks akemi is going to hate her, n she does for a bit in silence, but mostly shes just hurt? For herself AND for Mizu. Cause she understands, so suddenly, so intimately, how hard being a woman is and how mizu has had to hide as a man to survive (not even for plot reasons that we know, mizu being mixed AND a woman? Death sentence). And she just hurts. And they thought they'd always have this weird rift between them but they cry and they let it out (for Mizu, for the first time in YEARS) and its just. Its so emotional n so important and so personal and intimate. Its maybe winter all over again, a year has passed since theyd seen each other in kyoto, so much has changed and yet not rly and. They've grown but in different ways. Akemi, in taking life by the reins n being assertive and strong and so dangerously intelligent like shes always been but now, now its crucial to be that. And Mizu in realizing that she truly, truly wants to be loved so badly but to be loved is to be vulnerable and thats what scares her the most, to be weak; but ure only strong if u can be weak too, and thats what she learns. And i think this is where they really get deep into their feelings. Before it was a crush, an annoying one. Now? Oh bby theyre down bad. Yes they are.

#blue eye samurai #mizu blue eye samurai #akemi blue eye samurai #taigen blue eye samurai #akemi x mizu #taigen x mizu #hey look i posted a thing #come get yall headcanons #love how once they become actual friends i feel like mizu n taigen would fall for each other so fast itd scare then #but akemi n mizu have more of a slowburn cuz they're both denying the possibility of being with the other person so its just daydreaming now #n then akemi n taigen actually just stay friends cuz i think its hilarious #they can unlock their true potential as chaotic besties now #ringo is just living his life btw. hes kinda lost rn my poor darling #itohs just like “i love my wife. wait is she fucking the onryo” proceeds to be confused and lost n “confronting” her with teary eyes #(he saw them smile at each other) #akemi just inviting him to the polycule like “can u be cool abt a lot of things real quick” #and it takes time to process but he eventually is just like. this. kind of rules. dont tell my mom i said that tho #always scared his mom is gonna find out abt thier shenanigans as if she isnt the mother of the shogun now shes got shit to do #(being the second choice always oof. oof oof. best bet im playing with thattt)

It's an odd feeling when you make someone laugh with something you yourself didn't think was funny but it happens all the time because I guess most people irl just aren't used to the way neurodivergent internet-raised 20-somethings talk and an out of pocket meme phrase that you've heard 100 times is new and novel to them

#my old roommates once went into hysterics over ''fucking excuse me'' #confused the shit outta me #I mean that's not a meme that's just how I talk but the phrasing is kinda tumblr-y ig #when I hear someone make a direct tumblr meme reference irl and say it as if they made it up themselves dude the SIDE EYE I give them #nobody else in this room knows. They all think you're hilarious. But I know what you are 👁️👁️

objectively one of the best moments in this show

#i just need more people to appreciate this moment #it cracks me up so much #the entire thing #the swelling tender music #the way changheng's hand apparently has the exact consistency of an apple #the way dfqc seems to either #a) be so unprepared for any form of physical intimacy that he just fucking bluescreens #or b) be genuinely considering A Gentle Caress from the God of War #(which. that's a whole different novel lmao) #the way he goes sprinting off #and changheng's brief confusion and then IMMEDIATE decision to follow #like my dude #so many choices are being made between these two dudes #and they're all hilarious #i enjoy xiao lanhua/dongfang qingcang as the main romantic pairing #but dongfang qingcang and changheng as just. the two weirdest fucking platonic interactions possible #is underrated #love between fairy and devil #cang lan jue

Somebody reblogged my post about the missed opportunity of Eddie seeing Steve with his nail bat and they said he would make a flirty joke about second base and he DEFINITELY would!!!! After using the bat Steve thinks he’s going to get a response like “that was cool” from Eddie but he gets a whole lot of poorly made sport pick up lines and he’s just left confused every time.

Brian I have a nice ask day ask if you wish to answer it 💜 can you pick your top 5 Rafa on screen scenes and rank them? impossible question I know. but I believe in you!

Okay the thing is I did want to answer this immediately but it absolutely crippled me with doubt 😂 so I'm just gonna do it quick like ripping off a bandaid so that I can't overthink it anymore. Also not going to rank them because I'll spiral, so you're just getting 5 great ones:

The first interrogation room scene in 2x08 (but also all Carlos and Gabriel scenes this episode). The constant shifts in Carlos as he puts things together and realizes why Gabriel's there, the heartbreak of him thinking he was doing what his father always wanted, only to disappoint him again... at the time, this was the strongest scene LS had it its arsenal (WE STAN AND MISS TONYA KONG FOREVER AND ALWAYS) and it remains one of the best ones. It's so compelling and amazing to get to see the Carlos and Gabriel dynamic on display for the first time. This episode was a game-changer and I'll never shut up about it.

It's probably cheating to say all of his work in 4x18, so if I had to pick a scene from that I would say his talk with Owen where they toast Gabriel. My only problem with it is that it's so short, but Rafa packs every fucking thing he can in there, beat for beat, and it's beautiful. His delivery on "and forget about it?" but also all the lines leading up to that. The man is fucking hollow and crushed and lost and MY GOD RAFAEL. He's so skilled at what he does, knows exactly what he's doing every time. It's sublime.

Fine, another 4x18. Carlos's vows. I'm not gonna explain that one, the man is fucking beautiful and his heart is beautiful and he puts in on display publicly for what was probably the first time in his adult life, and it's stunning.

I love the scene in 3x13 where Carlos meets Cooper. Rafa is such a brilliant comedic actor, he uses every tool at his disposal, he understands his craft so well, how to use his body and face and voice to delivery great work, he's such a standout. I adore him. I could watch that scene for hours. Also, he is really fucking distracting in those clothes.

I'm gonna pick the fire in 2x12. And I'm gonna pick it because honestly the intensity of that scene, the life-or-death stakes, the absolute devastation and destruction of it, they are fully delivered by Rafa's performance. Like, Carlos's fear is what drives the scene, and Rafa's work sells it. And I'm also going to pick it because he's shirtless and so fucking hot. I'm gay, it's true. Have fully never recovered from it. And I'm also going to cheat and say the scene continues into him crying and TK holding him. So, like, obviously a top 5.

I'm sorry I have to include it I know I already picked 5 and I refuse to cut any of them but the 3x04 scene deserves to be in here and I'm mostly talking about the montage scene where TK wakes up and Carlos is forced out of the room and then his mom is there but then he fucking gasps the breath of a dying man who has been saved LIKE HE BASICALLY SAYS NO WORDS BUT MY FUCKING GOD, THE PERFORMANCE so I'm listing it and you can't fucking stop me Lola YOU CAN'T

anyway I just really love an actor who has honed their skills and studied their craft and dedicated themselves to approaching each scene in a fresh and honest way and I'm just really fucking happy to get to watch Rafa do it so thanks for letting me rave about him Lola you're a real one ❤️

#asks #brian talks #honorable mentions are: #the carlos and grace scenes in 3x11 - 'what's a smurf ass bitch' - I love a delightfully confused carlos #also I would add his hostage scene in 4x04 where he delivers that ICONIC line #4x04 is definitely not anywhere near my favorite episode but that's a damn good scene #also gonna add his scene in Fluidity where he goes 'I know I'm hot' - facts are facts and we stan Raul even if he was barely anything #can I also pick his poo-pourri commercial because that's fucking hilarious #but also he's so great in the proposal scene so that should be here #nice ask day #carlos reyes #rafael silva #one day I'll have scenes that are not LS to put on a top 5 rafa list #can't wait! #adding to the list of good comedy rafa: 'you're making me tense' such a good s1 scene #and detective washington is in it #which is always a good time #and of course the scene where I fell in love with carlos: top of 1x02... 'sandra bullock' - lives in my head rent-free #was gone for him from that moment on #dove deep and never looked back #oh but also everything he does in 3x03 when he finds out that TK is most likely going to die... #another of those scenes where he doesn't say much with his words but he says so fucking much with his eyes and face
