Dick/garth for the ask game?

I'll prelude this by saying ive not really read many comics with garth in them and i dont really have his personality down so this is mostly going off things ive seen on tumblr, or like fish jokes, sorry if i do a disservice to your fave garth stans

• Gives nose/forehead kisses- dick he does it all the time platonically it would definitely also bleed into his romantic relationships

• Gets jealous the most -dick definitely

• Picks the other up from the bar when they're too drunk to drive

• Takes care of on sick days - dick, like after a long mission where garth ends up serverely dehydrated he fixes him a nice long bath to rejuvenate him

• Drags the other person out into the water on beach day - garth, tries to spend all day in the sea, dick is all wrinkly after like 20 minutes but garth's skin is alive and glowing

• Gives unprompted massages -garth, he has like magic or something i bet that would be useful in a massage, also dick constantly has bad joints

• Drives/rides shotgun -dick drives, garth hates it

• Brings the other lunch at work -garth, its somewhere different every time though because dick is constantly changing career paths

• Has the better parental relationship -dick? idk much garth lore but didnt his parents abandon him because of his purple eyes, atlantis is alexandria genesis phobic

• Tries to start role-playing in bed -garth, he likes to pretend dick is a sailor lost at sea, and garth the atlantean seduces him

• Embarrassingly drunk dancer - garth, he insists his moves are all the rage in atlantis

• Still cries watching Titanic - garth but for the reason that the ship sinking polluted the seas, oh no the poor fish that died due to this tragedy

• Firmly believes in couples costumes - neither

• Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas - both

• Remembers anniversaries - neither, dick doesnt remember dates and surface time doesn't work the same as atlantean time

• Brings up having kids - garth, cerdian lives au where garth is a single dad until dick comes along type scenario

Out-of-context Twitter accounts keep your favorite shows alive online

The joy of Parks and Recreation will never leave me, not even in the dark corners of Twitter. It’s a strange yet reaffirming thought for me and the other 166,000 people who follow the "out of context parks" account.

As its name suggests, the account takes scenes from the beloved NBC comedy and posts them without any context, leaving it up to the reader to interpret the meaning.

While not affiliated with the network or the show officially, it is still part of a burgeoning trend on the social media platform. Pop culture-based out-of-context accounts have been popping up all over the place in the last few years.

From iconic TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer to critical faves like The Good Place, from Marvel movies to recent Oscar nominee The Favourite, there are out-of-context pages devoted to all kinds of entertainment.

SEE ALSO: Crush Twitter proves that sometimes subtweets can be good

The basic principle boils down to the same thing: posting close captioned screenshots without additional comment. The jokes really just needs to be taken at face value and are actually the perfect buffer from a sullen cycle of bad news and bad tweets.

Why wouldn’t I want to be interrupted by Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt in the middle of my mindless Twitter scroll? As a lover of obscure board games and Adam Scott being nerdy, Cones of Dunshire will always warrant my attention.

Kaysi Long created the Parks account in the summer of 2017. She told Mashable she was inspired by a similar account dedicated to cult favorite Buffy.

"I thought it'd be fun to do the same thing for a TV show I love," she shared via email. She noticed the engagement started picking up heavily within the first 6 months.

Long binged the show and took several screen caps along the way. "I have a ton saved up now so I haven’t had to spend too much time watching it again and again. How I decide what to post is usually pretty random," she said. The exception is when there's really something timely to share.

The allure of out-of-contexts as they pertain to movies, TV, games, comic books or even people (who can say no to even more ways of taking in John Mulaney's humor) stems from the need to consume content repeatedly and quickly.

It's also the simplest form of a throwback.

When I discovered the out-of-context account for The Office, another all-time favorite, I spent a joyous 15 minutes laughing as I recalled the specific details of every post. This post got me so much that I immediately felt the need to revisit the opening of Season 4's "Money" and listen to the opening music, which is indeed very cheerful.

The concept of sharing a singular moment of dialogue goes way back. First it was posting quotes or even lyrics without any context on AIM or Facebook, and now it's as Instagram captions. It's ~cool~ and fun.

Twitter out-of-context humor is a whole other ballgame. It can be fleeting and varied, taking the most basic lines and proclaiming them to be entertaining.

For example, @NYTMinusContext tweeted nothing but random verbatim phrases from various New York Times articles. It amassed 205,000 followers in it's almost 5 years of existence. It's easy to see why.

seriously, I will tear my hair out and eat it. HA-HA-HA

In its more recent wave, this format gets a visual and cultural makeover. The image elevates the comedy, and it speaks to our need of dissecting pop culture at a minute level.

Twitter provides the means to do this easily.

A scene stripped down to its barest form will still come off as amusing. Emma Stone's maniacal "Fuck! fuck! fuck! fuck!" is a real mood, regardless of whether or not you've seen The Favourite.

Out-of-context accounts indirectly share a purpose: to reel you in. I started following "out of context bojack horseman" early last year without having ever seen BoJack Horseman. After liking enough tweets, I knew I had to prioritize checking this comedy off of my Netflix queue.

If just the screenshots were enough to crack me up, the entire show would definitely win me over, right? Reader, it did.

It proves out-of-context humor can please anyone and doubles as a great way to lure you into learning more about its original source.

This formula even got an official Netflix stamp of approval. To promote its original witty teen drama Sex Education, the streaming platform created a verified no context account for this extremely quotable show.

They wanted the scenes to resonate with fans and to make the people who hadn't seen the show feel the FOMO. It's a great way to keep the fandom growing, as the account's 98,000 followers show.

Famed comic book writer Gail Simone, known for her work with Deadpool and Birds of Prey, is a Twitter aficionado who has created several "ridiculous" conversation-starter pop culture hashtags, including #lackofcontexttheater in 2017.

"I love that you say something absurd, and soon, hundreds, maybe thousands of people who get the joke jump in and add to it," she told Mashable.

In this case, she wanted to point out the weird writing of comic books that, devoid of contextual panels around it, sometimes hint at mysterious psychosexual horrors and kinks. "There’s an entire 1940’s story where Batman and the Joker spend the entire issue talking about boners, and you can’t help but laugh."

@GailSimone Found another good one for #LackofContextTheater pic.twitter.com/610TR8Dcu1

— Juan Carmona (@JDCarmona91) January 10, 2017

Simone didn't think her hashtag would blow up the way it did but even after a couple of years, the underlying trend holds up. "I went back and read all of the tweets and they made me laugh all over again," she shared.

"It’s simply a matter of seeing something familiar and wholesome and imagining there's more to it."

It is funny to imagine an unseen world where Batman is really obsessed with Joker’s constant boners. That's why folks are so involved with the hashtag. And that's why they're so involved with the entire trend of pop culture out-of-context accounts.

Everyone gets to be in on and enjoy the joke, even if they're not fully familiar with its genesis.

multiples of five!! for rhe ask thing

oh my word i have been Blessed™ - thank you Yuki! (aka @sunflower-yukine)

these are actually hella f-ing cute y’all - always accepting (can’t link it rn though)

5: are you self-conscious of your smile? A little bit. I don’t like what my smile looks like without teeth. I feel awkward about smiling in general.

10: do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach?I sleep on my side most of the time, or my back.

15: go google a weird space fact and tell us what it is!All of space is completely silent. Spooky.

20: what's your favorite eye color?well, since Alexandria’s Genesis doesn’t exist, which would be pretty dang awesome, I don’t know if I actually have a preference. I guess eyes with multiple colors are pretty cool, though.

25: what's the weirdest place you've ever broken into?Hmm…I generally don’t make a habit of breaking into places, lol, and I actually don’t remember breaking into anything. I’ve managed to guess passwords into people’s phones. but who cares about that lmao

30: think of it: have you ever been truly scared?Yes. there was a giant-a spider on my floor last night and i made my dad come upstairs and kill it (thank u dad) i mean there’s more but that was pretty terrifying

35: do you like stationery and pretty pens and so on? do you use them often?I do! I only own a couple things, like a cute notepad. I rarely use it.

40: think of a piece of jewelry you own: what's it's story? does it have any meaning to you?My best friend and I got matching BFF necklaces that either of us hardly wear, I guess it was more symbolic than anything.

45: do you trust your instincts a lot?Sometimes, but I also question them.

50: what's an odd thing you collect?I collect fortunes from fortune cookies, socks, and mugs. i have too many pairs of socks and mugs now tho oops

55: what's the most dramatic thing you've ever done to prove a point?HAHAHAHAHA I DON’T REMEMBER EXACTLY BUT I’VE DONE SOME PRETTY DRAMATIC THINGS ///to be honest I’ve probably repressed them all

60: do you like poetry? what are some of your faves?yes, I do! I don’t really have any favorites. I’m just a fan of poetry in general, and pretty writing. Prose is amazing as well.

65: is there anyone you haven't seen in a long time who you'd love to hang out with?Yeah! They’re older than me by a few years and moved to a different state. I miss them.

70: have you ever used a ouija board?Nope. Don’t mess with that stuff.

75: tell us about your pets!I don’t have any.

80: what color are your bedroom walls? did you choose that color? if so, why?I think it’s just a boring white, the way it was when we moved in last October. I can’t paint my walls though, my parents won’t let me.

85: do you read comics? what are your faves?I don’t read comics-comics, like Marvel or anything, but I do follow Awkward Zombie online, and I read manga.

90: talk about your one of your favorite cities.I love Portland, Oregon. Everything’s so fascinating to me every time I’m there- the skyscrapers as you drive in, the city itself, the people (even if it is a little sketchy at times)- it has great food (food carts, anyone?) and I don’t think I could ever get bored if I spent days there at a time. Plus, Powell’s Bookstore. Huuuuge bookstore, multiple floors. Slightly overpriced, nerdy stuff everywhere, and there’s a coffee shop inside, too. Highly recommend.

95: what are your plans for this weekend?S l e e p, also work, maybe hang out with someone. Pretty general.

100: if you were presented with two buttons, one that allows you to go 5 years into the past, the other 5 years into the future, which one would you press? why?If I wasn’t able to return to my present time, I wouldn’t press either. But if I could spend a day or two in either one, I would definitely peek into the future a little. While I don’t relish the idea of it being spoiled for me, it’s interesting to see where I am, and I’m not going back to Cringetown™.
