Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
This whole gun control debate has me wanting to make a thread discussing hyperbole and bullshit in the media. Not gun control, but how the media as a whole -- left, right, whoever -- throws around terms and words that are either sensationalist, utter bullshit or both.
One of these terms that I find hilarious and annoying at the same time is "military-grade". This term is appended by the media and clueless civilians onto anything to convey that it's super-effective at whatever it does. Like, there's regular-grade toilet paper, but military-grade toilet paper will leave your ass clean as a whistle on the first wipe. Civilian-grade Reeses Puffs are only a faint hint of the confection they're based off of, but military-grade Reeses Puffs will have you completely convinced that you're eating real candy for breakfast.
"Military-grade" means it's held together by spit and bailing wire, and the toilet paper they're issued is referred by the troops as 'John Wayne Toilet Paper' because it "doesn't take shit off of anybody."

Creepy ass images keep popping into my head as soon as I try to rest.
Images that are close enough to real life, but just "weird" enough to be unsettling. like jumpingzombie having the voice of an 80-year-old
I am starting to think the o8liviousness thing is pro8a8ly actually apathy 8ecause I don't think the people who are 8eing o8livious are really stupid enough to not notice 8LATANTLY O8VIOUS THINGS.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.

Ironically there is a faction I think that thinks that Pynchon is pretentious, despite his legendary status in literature.
pynchon has always been divisive. there was no pulitzer prize for fiction awarded in 1974 because the jury were determined that pynchon should win it, the board disagreed, they couldnt come to a compromise so there was just no prize that year.
often enough it is the controversial ones who garner the most legendary status.
depends. if its just 'i like women who have a nice jawline' then yeah thats not weird. if they have a shrine made up of pictures of emma watsons jawline in their closet then... well.

Funny, I haven't yet read very far into Act 6 but Roxy was a quick favorite of mine.
I did always find it weird that Tumblr didn't throw a fit over teenage alcoholism being played for laughs, though.

this is the turntable equivalent of hearing Hendrix play. Except there are three different Hendrixes.
I don't know many god-tier guitarists, ok?

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot

and take their weapons leaving them dead
Same thing happened in Hivebent.
