Me: *browsing the shelves for 30 seconds like a regular person*

Staff: Hi can I help you with anything

Me: N-no that's okay *immediately flees store*

I told them that the people of America should be able to drive to the doctor's house and give him the ten bucks so he can give them a box of healthcare to take home and they're saying that this might be the greatest and most beautiful healthcare system ever made and they're saying it more and more

cw: serious for a sec

I've been privileged enough to have a therapist for ideation for several years; if you're having dark thoughts I promise you this AI bullshit will be worse than nothing, because it makes you think you're talking to someone but it's still only you

They should call it Predator: Goodlands

A look of disbelieving disgust

I saw a Mr Beast advent calendar in the supermarket three and a half hours ago and I'm still wearing this expression

You and me baby

So let's do it like they do

The 2025 entry for the official Marvel timeline, showing Moon Knight, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Echo, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Ms. Marvel, Thor: Love and Thunder, Ironheart, Werewolf by Night and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

The reshuffling makes this the year with the Most Stuff (by number of titles, not runtime) but it flows pretty well and makes sense; the worst you could say about it is that Groot finishes puberty pretty suddenly, but who cares honestly

Had an interesting chat last night about how this age of vast entertainment choice funnelled through algorithmic recommendations has created a shallower level of media literacy than when people having fewer choices meant that they ended up being exposed to more things that they didn't already like

Missing Link Sentinel Prime (known to his friends as Tango Optimus) about to be unboxed, by me, a chump

Oh no; now I've become the kind of person who buys unnecessary repaints???

How does this line have such a deathgrip on me 😩😩😩

It's that time agaaaaaaaain

I feel like I could look after an isolated hotel with a dark past all winter and be fine, actually

Me, earlier: Phew, finally getting around to reading Skybound TF #24... at least I can be sure that one of my GOOD PALS would have warned me if there was something specifically heartbreaking to me in particular inside this one

This is also how I sleep tbf

The 'We've Achieved Something' panel from MTMTE

Yessssss

I've said it before but there's nothing for giving your media literacy some healthy exercise like enjoying some ambiguous art and then never reading anyone else's opinions about it

Just sit in your thoughts and build your own relationship with it

The best thing about this photo is that it could happily be either "Master thief La Belette returns to admire the scene of the crime under the very noses of the gendarmerie" or "The clueless local boys glower as the mayor is forced to call in eccentric private detective Champs Duchamps"

The 2024 entry from the official Marvel timeline, showing Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Eternals, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Hawkeye

Yeah, this was a pretty sensible viewing order, with the added bonus that it undoes a bunch of the Chapek shenanigans and spreads the shows out a bit more, makes it all flow a bit better and balances the Endgame-consequences and multiverse themes more evenly

Big smug hours at work today because we've gone from my co-workers making fun of me mixing up a li'l jar of pumpkin spice (a tbsp of cinnamon plus half a tsp each of ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg and white pepper) for my coffee this month to them asking me to make them some too. GOT 'EM

I think I actually prefer that Missing Link is doing the repaints/remolds either alongside or very quickly after the originals; them being 'done' so that the line can move onto the next character stops it feeling like it's getting bogged down by going back to them as happened with the Masterpieces

Athena: Dad, when will you learn - every time you reveal one of your demigod kids you end up having to protect them from your wife

Zeus: Well it's like I always say; a child should be seen and not Hera'd

Athena: ...get out

ZEUS: You know, I don't think I like Pan
HERMES: Why not?
ZEUS: He keeps using humour to make me look ridiculous
HERMES: Oh, that's just satyr
ZEUS: ...get out

Every generation has a Raksha

Friend: You're quiet; thinking deep thoughts?

It's REVENGE time, babyyyyyy

Missing Link Arcee (the prototype version) as a car... of the FUTURE

Missing Link Arcee (the prototype version) fightin' and sassin'

It's incredible that this finally exists 😭😭😭

It genuinely feels like an era-specific piece of design in the way that a modern pastiche wouldn't have been able to capture

WHO THE HECK IS HITTING UP MY WISHLIST IN OCTOBER???

(seriously, which of you was it - there's no note attached and I would very much like to thank you, whoever you are)

The 2023 entry of the Marvel timeline, showing Avengers: Endgame, season one of Loki and WandaVision

See, there we go; Loki spins right out of Endgame and opens up all the multiverse stuff that follows right from the start, while WandaVision is a little way into the aftermath but before anybody's got their shit back together

it is me, the confused Pikachu

The thing about being moderately online is that I only ever learn about YouTubers when they do something unbelievably heinous; whenever I look they always have 50 million subscribers and thousands of comments saying "noooo not Squigglyfloop, he was my entire childhood" and I'm like
