Remember if you’re out at a store and someone says “This is a robbery” you can say “no it’s not” and then the robber will leave because theyre a robber and this is no longer a robbery .
You can not just say this without dropping the whole story
Ok so,
My dads coworker is at the front and this man comes Up and hands him a document.
The coworker took a Look at the document and while he couldn't read the things written by Hand, because he wasn't wearing his glases, he did notice the Logo of a different Bank so he's like:
"Oh, sorry sir you can't do that here! You have to go to the other Bank for this :)"
The man, visibly confused leaves, but dosen't take the document with him.
The coworker, now just as confused as the Guy actually Takes Out his glases and reads the hand written part:
This is a robbery
u know im not even aromantic but im p tired of people bashing on queerplatonic relationships bc they think its just being besties like its almost as if it’s something you dont understand bc youre not in the aromantic community but instead of respecting it like a normal person you make condescending jokes about it pretending you know better than them
also tbh its not like queerplatonicism is limited to aro ppl (tho obvs qp hate is mainly fuelled by arophobic bullshit), its very easy for anyone to understand if you don’t take an incredibly binarist western view of the types of relationships ppl can have with each other and some ppl may even LITERALLY be in something that you could consider a queerplatonic relationship already, but the problem is simply ppl don’t wanna put in the effort to question their limited views of whats possible in a relationship 🙄
Anonymous asked:
Can you explain why Disney dying after Cauldron would have been a bad thing? (I mean, aside from not getting all the cool stuff they’ve made like Gravity Falls, I mean in an economic sense I guess)
Is the idea that the failure of 80s Disney animation would have shuttered Disney? I mean, given where we are now that wouldn’t have been a bad thing, economically-speaking. But I’m skeptical (and I don’t think we can talk with certainty about counterfactuals like this anyway) that it would have actually seen the end of Disney. The end of Disney’s animation studio, sure. But it could also have meant pivoting to the theme parks and to more live action films and TV. Our path that gets Disney to swallowing Marvel and Lucasfilm and Fox can be traced back to The Little Mermaid and The Great Mouse Detective. It’s just that I think we’d still be here without those films, because I don’t think the end of Disney animation would have put all those Disney executives out of a job (executives are good at one thing, and that’s finding a way to keep their paychecks coming). Maybe I’m wrong, and somebody who knows this history better should feel free to correct me.
great mouse detective saving disney animation studio’s ass is so fucking funny imagine being the executives of that branch of the studio and you’re being threatened with closure after black cauldron got the shit beaten out of it by the motherfucking care bears movie and you go to the creative team (the only ones who actually care about making good shit) and you’re like “okay guys we need a HUGE hit to save us, what have you got” and they’re like “mouse sherlock holmes with a striptease scene. vincent price is here,”
Im sorry there was a striptease scene in the great loud detective????
The striptease scene is explicitly what saved Disney. The execs were getting ready to shut down the animation branch altogether, and the only scene the GMD team had finished was the bar scene. They showed that to the higher ups, and it impressed them enough to let them keep working on the movie.
Mouse burlesque is the sole reason why Disney Animation still exists today.
OK I want every one of you dipshits in the comments going “wish Disney had died” to explain to me how you think corporations work. I don’t like Disney either, but at least I’m not foolish enough to post online about how I think the animation department is the same as the entire corporate structure. Do you assholes even read before posting? Do you engage brain first? Because if this is the level of detail y’all bring to the political/economic discussion of mega-corporations, I don’t ever want to see you darken my dash again.
i know i talk about pokemon go a lot but like. the summer of 2016 where pokemon go was released? i’ve never seen anything like it in my life. shit was absolutely insane
i gave my phone to a stranger who jumped a fence to get a clefairy that was in a restricted area
I had a baby that summer and all the pictures we took of him for two whole months include a pokemon
all of them. are. like. this

“Accidentally Asexual” should be an AO3 tag for when a character gets written as ace mostly because the author was ace and Forgot.
Like the character was intended to be allo but an ace author just. Forgot. That sexual attraction isn’t just a plot device.
#are we SURE sexual attraction ISNT just a plot device??? (via @tina-nina)

The aro version of this is “At some point this was intended to be a romantic relationship but I forgot that people have feelings they can and do specifically identify as romantic, wouldn’t know how to write that internal psychology anyway, so whoops this is a QPR now”
#i like to think data took him all the way to the brig tossed him in and left#and then came back 60 seconds later and was like ‘i believe i have successfully played a ‘practical joke’ on you :)’#riker loses it & claps him on the back like ‘wow. good job u rly had me going. dont ever fucking do that again’
Perfect.
Actually it’s 73 seconds. Data, knowing something of how human minds work, estimates that Riker will give him 60 seconds to come back (because humans prefer “round numbers”, however arbitrary the units). After 60 seconds it will take 4 seconds for Riker to fully process the conclusion that Data is, in fact, not coming back after all, and an additional 9 seconds to build to the optimum level of anxiety.
After all, comedy is timing.
