    Part of me wonders how well Mabel would get along with Cadpig

    I'm simultaneously scared and fascinated by the concept of drunk Treman.

    Same.

    Also I should be someone from 12 oz. Mouse

    maybe Old Kentucky Shark

    Also, speaking of liquor, I've had the hook from "Swimming Pools (Drank)" in my head all evening.

    Frankly, I'm convinced that I'll become an alcoholic if I even touch whiskey.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Alcoholism runs in the family, and I've never liked how beer and wine tasted or smelled, so I typically avoid alcohol. 

    I can relate to drowning one's sorrows in something, though.

  • Huh. I did not know that. Then again, I don't post here that often.

    This sounds like a Carmen Sandiego plot.
  • CA, you should direct a whimsical television series.

    Like an Adventure Time or yes a Gravity Falls.

    You'd be good at it.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I was about to make a crack about owning Adventure Time now, but then I realized that it's produced by my idol Fred Seibert and his company Frederator, not just CN proper

    (obligatory mention: Fred Seibert founded Frederator after departing from Hanna-Barbera, where he served as President from 1992 to 1996. Frederator seems to build on the ideas he introduced there, though it is kind of a shame that his regime didn't get to do more with the classic H-B characters)

    Hanna-Barbera
    666 E. Satan Boulevard
    Sunnydale

    that's how a lot of cartoon fans see them

    :(

    But they were the good guys
  • Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
    Sunnydale doesn't seem like optimal corporate property though
  • Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
    the mayor would totally name a boulevard satan though
  • I want to be an ogre and smash things with a big club.

    Is that so much to ask
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    I can never appreciate dystopian lit now because most of the time it’s “escapist fantasy” by privileged people, usually white/middle class, and there they go researching very hard how to set up a dystopian govt or an oppressive society 
    When there are members of our society that live that very life every day and don’t have the privilege to “put the book down” and walk away

    I don’t mean all dystopian lit of course but it’s hard to disentangle the privilege of the writer from this world they’re creating, usually half-romanticising it and/or trying to make “some kind of lesson” from it

    Following Princewenyuan was a good decision.
  • I think I may have never actually read a single work of dystopian fiction.

    Except maybe like, Ember or whatever that was called? I guess that was sort of dystopian but more general post-apoc than anything else. Which is not always dystopian, weirdly, because some people like to romanticize the end of the world.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    The end of the world is aesthetically pretty cool. Desperate hopes, last stands, fighting for hope, for life, for survival. Settling scores and fulfilling vendetta as chaos rages all around you.

    But also I'm really scared of it.
  • Yeah but that stuff's not interesting to me.

    I am a simple man and I prefer stories that end with some room for a happiness. Silly as that may perhaps be.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    It's not silly at all.

    You know for all the fervor about self-diagnosed autistics, I've never actually met one.

    Not even on TvTropes, which you think would be a haven for that.

    Well, for all the fervor about conservatives who worship guns, I've never met one.

    But, well, you know, alternate universe and all that.

    This just in, peak time train fares are horrendous. Which means I'll be walking around London for hours when I go there next month.

    Too bad. A Charlton Heston autograph probably goes for a lot of money on e-bay these days.

    Medieval Religious Nutcase Aliroz: Yarrun, I am disappoint. Heavy things are how you get strong and big. Now wear a hair shirt, make like my bro Dominic Loricatus, and whip yourself into shape.

    Impractical Mechanical Aliroz:  Construct a set of wheels for your things, in addition to using pulleys and levers to move whatever you need.  Then it won't seem so heavy.

    Actual Aliroz:  Oh, man, Yarrun.  I know the feeling.  Putting a damp, warm towel on your back usually helps for me.  Also, once you are done carrying things, it sometimes helps to take off your shoes and socks and squeeze your heel.

    I think it's partially because most of them wouldn't exactly sing from the mountaintops that they don't have an actual diagnosis.

    If so, where did this stereotype come from?

    Weird wrong inexplicable ideas.

    The fact that it's pretty easy to convince yourself that you express traits consistent with autism.

    It might be projection, but there are quite a few people who do self diagnose.
  • It's irritating, but more-or-less just harmless, uh, role confusion or something like that.
