#the. layers of irony to this.

[yahirokuons]

been thinking about the official art where mikado looks to be drawn with a halo over his head. laugh

#drrr rambling #id in alt text #the. layers of irony to this. #observation 1: aoba pulling mikado forward while masaomi is trying to hold him back with the halo suggesting goodness/saintliness #observation 2: death implications #especially when you take masaomi into account. holds head in hands. #anyway. interesting to consider alongside the 'sacrificial lamb'/'mikado saying izaya's idea of him is more like the devil than god' imager

ok ok everyone please, ignore for a moment that this is a clip of The Quote. please just ignore the words and look at dans body language cuz its killing me LMAOOOO

#yet another gayass thing that dan said that was probably meant to be at least PARTLY ironic #but turned into the gayest sentimental crap that phannies stay quoting about yall #it's hilarious #BUT LIKE HES STILL BEING SINCERE LIKE #DONT GET IT TWISTED #i think same w most fun i ever had #hes being sincere but he has to lay on a thick layer of irony to feel able to express a genuine emotion #he just like me fr #dan and phil #myclips #daniel howell #basically i'm gay #phan

its 2018. fall out boy released mania, Brendon urie released pray for the wicked, and twenty one pilots released trench. supernatural is on season 14 without any signs of destiel. Voltron season 8 just came out and decimated both klance and its fanbase. the third trials of Apollo came out and made everybody miserable. dan and Phil are on tour, and the final Phil is not on fire came out. Tumblr is never going to be the same.

#sorry I'm going to a con rn and I'm wearing my lance Voltron jacket which is both layered in meta irony and also very sincere to my past #what a crazy year. I was 13. #fall out boy #panic! at the disco #twenty one pilots #supernatural #destiel #voltron #klance #trials of apollo #riordanverse #dan and phil #dan howell #Phil lester #pinof #I have a genuine love for this period of my life and all of these things (except for Brendon urie) #cringe is dead. I love you fandom

These two continue to have such normal and well-adjusted conversations!

Since atla is again having an extra surge of popularity, I'm shooting my shot:

[ID: (Rest of image description in alt). At the bottom of the image sits the text: "Zuko: Okay. Well, I can't remember how it starts, but the punchline is "leaf me alone, I'm bushed."" ID end].

Did we ever find out what the setup for this joke was? I feel kinda haunted by it. If not- anyone wanna make their best or worst guesses?

edit: I now know what "I'm bushed" mean, but go ahead anyway 👍

#atla #the way I was early out for this next surge in popularity 🤗 I was in a different phase by 2020 #it's not like it haunts me day and night but it does bother me thinking back on it. please tell me I'm not the only one 🧍‍♂️ #I'll have to reblog the 'closure is a myth' post jk #what kind... of joke is it? leaf pun on leave i get. I'm bushed however I dont get. it implies the punchline sayer is a bush at least I #think. but what prompts the 'i am bushed' I dont get. is it not contextual? is it a phrase ive not connected like 'leaf me alone'? #is there anotger layer between leaf and bush? again what kind of joke (social:joke purpose. what is funny? only pun?) + (in-joke set up)? #is it about the kind of bush it is? is it between two plants? the plant & someone picking on the plant like a teamaker collecting? #is it about a plant that has grown into bush and thus (somethingsomething)?? is it not a plant at all? other elements? iroh *what*. #if the creators actually had a setup in mind- I fear it will be lame. but yet I am haunted #it must have cracked someone up for him to try relay it. (set in term of endearment here) 🧍‍♂️👈 *poking him* #either way. me 🤝 zuko @ being bad at remembering & relaying jokes 😁👍 #at least in that instance anyway #I mainly stick to irony & sarcasm. running along with an mistaken assumption or replying w something silly & blowing it out of proportions. #puns if I'm lucky. ect. fun when I can reference it later tho I try not to overdo it. not like I'll likely remember it for too long anyway #now to lay in wajt see if anything happens.... #avatar the last airbender #zuko #atla zuko #a:tla #my rambles #its lie and not lay is it not.....

#yey the awaited name reveal #Agni means fire. i chose it bc it's close to the name Agnis while also being ironic #as you can see on the first panel he doesn't use firefish to heal because he no longer has it with him #and he did use those years between S1 and S2 to learn to be a medic to compensate for it since he wants to be useful for Grace #his lighthouse is special because he tied a contract with administrator so that it has an ability to heal #although not as potent as firefish. and it requires his control and knowledge instead of instant healing #the other reason why he wears many layers of clothing is because he's constantly frigid from being an ice user. thus the irony #anyway Grace and Bam has the same nervous tick if you noticed #also thats a pocket btw. not shinsu orb #tower of god #tog #two sides of the same coin comic #my comic #my art #bam #baam #25th baam #25th bam #the 25th baam #the 25th bam #jue viole grace #khun #koon #khun a.a #khun aguero agnis #khunbam #koonbaam #bamxkhun

*GRIPS YOUR SHOULDERS* NO BC DO YOU REALIZE HOW BRAVE THE BLUE LOCK AUTHOR IS. SOCCER IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SPORTS IN THE WORLD AND IT'S FANBASE IS OFTEN EXTREMELY HOMOPHOBIC AND SO MANY PLAYERS DON'T COME OUT BC THEY'RE SCARED OR THEY'RE UNDER THEIR MANAGERS THUMB. AND HE WENT AND GAVE US ONE OF THE FIRST POPULAR MANGA THAT'S ABOUT SOCCER AND OUTRIGHT INCLUDED

A CANNONICALLY GAY RELATIONSHIP OR AT LEAST OUTRIGHT FLIRTING

SO MUCH TENSION YOU CAN CUT IT WITH A KNIFE

RIVALRIES THAT MIGHT AS WELL BE GAY

A LITERAL BREAKUP ARC

#i know we joke about this but manga authors have had to hide their gay characters under layers of irony and coding for so long.. #and here he comes like yep guy in eyeliner who is one of the best players and desprately wants his teammates number... #blue lock #bllk #bluelock #even if sae was only using him.. #please stop debating ryusae in the comments i promise you i dont fucking care.

We're on air.

More precisely, I was on air when I recorded this, but the details are largely irrelevant. Because I don't really feel like covering fuckin' introductory quantum mechanics and telling you exactly how the influence of the Skaian universe, when applied at the quark level and taken alongside the probabilistic effect of quantum behavior, superposes via particle states and results in the formation of what you might refer to as "overlapping timelines". And that's already getting real abecedarian about this shit.

Yeah, sue me. Try boning up on basic physics while you're at it.

So. I'm sure you'd love to hear about how I managed to rig this sick as hell channel-cum-blog up and get it to straddle the space-time continuum like an antediluvian Olympic gymnast doing mad splits over baby's first toy pony, but that ain't the point of this little exercise. Posting what's effectively a vlog is enough of an onanistic venture without adding Skaian Principles For Dummies: Electric Boogaloo to the schedule.

Where was I?

(Rhetorical question. Don't answer, if it needed to be said.)

The name's Dirk.

Strider. Yeah, that Strider.

I'd be more worried about internet safety, but seeing as there are only up to two people alive around here no matter how far you pull my timeline back, and I'm one of 'em, it doesn't exactly compute. Face it, brosephine: you aren't getting to year 24xx post-hilarocaust, and you sure aren't getting past that. Wasn't shat out of a lab yet when you were committing identity theft and scamming doddering old ladies out of their sadsack pensions.

(If you manage to get pizza delivered out here, I'll tip extra.)

Besides, you already knew my name, didn't you?

Maybe your next question's going to be:

"Why are you calling this a vlog when it's obviously just a blog?"

Or maybe,

"Why is your URL poorlydrawndirk when it's totally malapropos?"

Buckle in, kids. Strap yourself into that convertible toddler-safe harness and keep your ass glued tight to all the prime polyester-lined foam, because this ride's about to pull into the station and vehicular standards are some passé 21st century horseshit.

The first thing you have to understand is that even peering upon the brink of these echelons of irony is a skill that you'll never grasp in your life. But that's fine. I'm around. And if it puts your mind at ease,

I'll be the one pulling the strings here.

(There's the tired callback. It's not wrong, but it's tired. Worn out enough for it to be begging you to take it out back behind the shed and put it out of its misery.)

(I'll leave it at that for now, because self-referencing is one thing, but if I get any more meta, I'll have to start narrating in twelve-point Times New Roman.)

Anyway, I'll be breaking it down, just this once. Magnanimous as hell, I know. I could wax poetic and in doing so obfuscate the actual meaning once more from obtuse minds, thereby adding another strata to irony so layered that it's settled past sedimentary and is ready to unearth some fossil formations, but let's be real. That shit would fly over your head so far it'd be trying to dial ground control at Houston.

Here we go.

Vlogs aren't cool; making one ironically is.

Putting in this much effort into making a multiversal vlog makes it cooler, ironically.

Putting in this much effort to make a multiversal vlog when the doomed timelines are all inherently fuckin' doomed, as the name implies, and therefore functionally useless to communicate with, makes it more ironic.

I have Heart powers and am able to achieve my ultimate self through my alpha timeline. Therefore, not only is this pimped-out vlog functionally useless, but I actually don't need it at all.

Which means this wasn't too hard to set up to begin with. Ironic, considering the complex presupposed conditions necessary for bridging that 'verse gap.

And despite framing this as a vlog, this is obviously a blog.

Even though it's just a blog, all these drawings I've made had you convinced that I really thought I was posting a vlog.

And in a way, I'm still making one. It ain't the traditional format, but the almost videographic mannerisms I've been laying on you more than compensate for the fact that the video part of "vlog" doesn't exist.

Except it does, for me.

And because it does, none of these pictures are drawn to begin with. They're all film stills. Screenshots, if you prefer.

Which makes the qualifier of "poorly drawn" untrue.

But it's also almost true, because you can call them poorly drawn by virtue of them not even being drawn. Ride that definition of "poorly" down the one-way rail and you're here, selfie central, population two, me and you.

Of course, that means we have to cover the quandary of truth itself. What constitutes the truth? Titillate that thought for a second.

If I consider the attached files to be selfies, but you consider them to be illustrations, which is it actually?

An analysis of the "truth" means that we have to start delineating how much of this is subjective, tying us in bed with the concept of knowledge. The Socratic take calls for dialectical conversation and inquiry via questioning; therefore, if I just bequeath my knowledge to you on a pretty little metaphorical platter, it won't mean fuckall. So we have to keep digging. Get your pickaxe ready, 'cause we ain't hitting any diamonds of wisdom any time soon.

In fact, maybe that ain't the right direction. Flip it turnways. We gotta climb a li'l higher for what we need.

Maybe we gotta head to the roof.

now. brought cal.

where making this HAPEN.

Haha.

Just fuckin' with you.

Welcome to my blog, dude.

Want water? Imagine I got you a nice, chilled glass.

Let's get this parasocial relationship pumping.

Questions? Concerns? Misguided pseudo-parental queries about whether or not it's safe for your pipsqueak to be exposed to a full dose of radically Stridered bullshit?

Cool.

Make it all three and drop it in the asks, yeah?

Hey so hypothetically if I and someone else (maybe @igotstuckinthevoidhelp) were to, I don’t know, set up a dnd campaign, and bear in mind this is completely theoretical, but, potentially, would anyone (for the sake of this thought experiment, let’s say… umm… YOU.) be interested in hypothetically maybe theoretically potentially joining?

Just something to think about potentially maybe

there's some nightmare meta-commentary to be made about how genloss is about the unending carnival of performance that is the world of content creation and the horror of never being able to set yourself free of the scrutiny and control of an audience and company that trap and force you to create and perform for them unceasingly until you completely break, milking your very soul for entertainment, and ranboo still has not left the mall and every streamer is doing react streams to genloss and viewers are picking apart every detail of the show to speculate about the intricate psychology of the characters and their lives beyond the performance, and about how the incredible and likely completely unintentional irony of the show is that the specific online culture that it was brought into feeds directly into the relentless hunger for content that dominates both the specific climate of streamer audiences and the wider conditioning we suffer from on social media to constantly consume creativity and churn out our own reactions to it in hopes of garnering attention in an exact and disturbing recreation of the conditions dissected in the show itself but i will never sleep peacefully again if i spare another moment's thought to it.

just finished matt smith's run as the doctor, still hot off the tails, and as is to be expected, everything that happened to him keeps making me think of nine and ten. i hadn't stopped to consider just how fresh the whole "committing genocide against my own people" thing was for nine. like the amount of High Grade Denial And Suppression he had to have been doing to be as barely functional as he was must have been publishable.

#this isn't even me getting into the whole thing about ten/length of life lived/dying alone/violent regeneration thing that i could go on ab #but can i just say even though i loved day of the doctor (while moffat's writing pitfalls as showrunner were still there #they were more like shallow valleys than trenches in dotd) #i'm kinda dissapointed that the doctor ended up Not Doing A Genocide #i liked the fact that he had made a real fucked up choice in a no win scenario that weighed on him so heavily #i LOVED that our being of pure good did somethong so drastic in the name of it #and though the lost memories means 89& 10 are still fully under the impression they did a genocide #from a dramatic irony perspective as an audience member it does retroactively lessen the impact #and i worry it'll take away a huuuge layer of complexity from the doctors henceforth who KNOW their slates are clean #anyways matt smith doctor should have gotten so old he turned into a little imp like tennant's did that one time #running my mouth #doctor who #nuwho #9th doctor #10th doctor #11th doctor
