“Human beings are mere insects compared to the eldritch gods, much like how humans are to ants. By the way, did you know that twenty to fifty humans a year are killed by ants? Isn’t that an interesting statistic, Cthulhu.”
The more Jules Verne I read, the more apparent it becomes that he’s basically whatever you’d call a weeaboo but for the US and UK
The UK version is “teaboo”, idk about the US one yet
freeaboo
This line of conversation is leading my brain into generating puns on “weeaboo” with its spare processor cycles.
So far I think my favorite is “Shiaboo” for a foreigner obsessed with Iran and Persian culture.
I hadn’t realized that Jules Verne wasn’t British. Which I guess is your point.

I think TV shows should stop wasting their money hiring a different C-list actor for every minor or one-off role and go back to how they did things in the 90s, where each show had a small pool of bit part performers and one really good makeup artist, and over the course of a couple of seasons you’d end up with like half a dozen apparently unconnected minor characters all played by the same guy, leading the fans to construct elaborate theories explaining how all of them were secretly the same character.
I’m sure there’s plenty of examples but I’m wondering if this is a Jeffrey Combs post

one of the best parts of horses and the horse world are the dramatic names, it’s honestly my favorite. i want my professional job to be naming racehorses stupid things. i write fiction about racehorses sometimes, and the best parts aren’t the dramatic crime scenes, they’re the the racehorse names i get to come up with. like:
i have literal lists dedicated to this
I had an extremely vivid dream a few months back that I was trapped in a fire tower (to watch for wildfires) that was surrounded by wildfire and my manager emailed me and told me I had to legally name every single horse owned by the national park service and enter them all in a database as the flames grew closer.
The dream mostly consisted of trying to figure out the Secret Horse Naming Rules of the Offical Horse Database so that I could name all Sixteen Thousand Horses. Rules included “Must contain real, whole words” “No Profanity” and “No repeats at all ever, for any horse that ever lived”.
I kept thinking of new things like “I’m pretty sure I know more swear words than the Horse Database” and “I bet there aren’t horses named just strings of random nouns” and “I bet I can gives horses last names”
Some of the names I remember, as the flames howled around the tiny tower and I was filled with vengeful rage:
Valid-To-Eat-Fingers-O’Malley
Dishwasher
When You Are Engulfed In Flames

#language #Homestuck #anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog #my past self has good taste #(I don’t think all of these have the right number of x’s though) #(having three straight vowels in ”inclusionist” could be explained by having guessed that word wrong) #(but what could ”bxcxxxsx” be in that context but ”because”?)
Bro i can’t even describe this vietnam war flashback…..there’s 5 guys in jeans and thrifted military jackets in what is clearly someone’s backyard……a bloody helmet on a garden fence is meant to symbolize how many brothers in arms they’ve lost…..they just stuck a blond wig on the old priest to show how young he was back then…….his gf just showed up and stepped on a land mine and died….which is why he joined the priesthood…the editing feels like a fever dream
I have seen this movie and it is incredible and this post only scratches the surface of the batshit
