me thinkin abt how perry the platypus is Often referred to as an egg laying mammal, even in his theme song:
Not to forget when Candace was in his body she was able to sweat milk.
considering everyone in the family was totally accepting of the fact he could lay an egg, everyone in the family thus is aware of and loves their trans platypus
There’s also a scene where a professional platypus hunter makes mention of the venomous spurs of the male platypus—as i recall, Doofenshmirtz is surprised, and questions Perry about it, only to get a shrug in response and no indication that Perry has spurs in the first place….
Have you ever started a new job and been told that what you’re wearing doesn’t fit with “business casual”? Or have you received an invitation to a party with a dress code like “garden attire” or “creative black tie” and had absolutely no idea what to wear? Dress codes can be really confusing, especially when you’re growing up and suddenly have to deal with a lot more than everyday casual. But worry not, because we’re about to break them down one by one so you’ll be the best (appropriately) dressed at your next party.
i love the storytelling in the Kirby games because of the ever-present implication that something extremely significant is going on in the background of Kirby’s peaceful life on Popstar
like, in the Kirby universe there’s this massive war between technology and magic and gigantic space demons with cat faces and you don’t get to learn anything significant about it.
you are looking at these events of cosmic significance through Kirby’s eyes, and all Kirby knows is that these are are assholes that caused his sandwich to fall on the kitchen floor this morning and they need to pay for that crime
like, imagine you’re some kind of cosmic warlord demon bent on dominating the universe, but somehow you blowing up a planet caused a sandwich to fall off a plate and that enraged the wrong extremely strong pink baby.
kirby doesn’t know or care who you are or what you’ve accomplished. you indirectly fucked with his lunch and now he’s coming to kill you.
Meta-Knight seems like he probably knows what’s going on some of the time, but I get the vibe that mostly manifests as him making sure Kirby gets pointed in the right direction to go kill another cosmic horror.
Stu, let me ask you a question: how did you not realize until then that you had too many eggs? Nobody sells eggs in a big cloth-covered basket, so you must have done that yourself. That means you spent god-knows-how-long opening up twelve whole cartons of eggs, carefully placing each egg one-by-one inside a big basket, and then covering it with a big picnic cloth… and at no point- at no point- did you ever stop and think “gee, there might be TOO MANY FUCKING EGGS HERE”
i cant believe i can justifiably say this but some of you might be too young to remember this meme
façade is a freeware game (which you can still download and play) that rose to internet fame around 2011-early 2012. it was an (imo) interesting concept where you played as a friend of a married couple visiting for the first time in years, using interactive text and game AI to either solve or help collapse their failing marriage. the graphics are extremely simple. the music is weird. the voice acting is pretty good.
it got to memetic quality pretty fast because of the….customizable nature of what you could say to them as well as the fact that trip (the husband) would forcibly remove you from the apartment and cause a game over if you said too many wrong things.
a big part of the meme was that if you said “melon” or “melons,” you’d almost always automatically be kicked out. this was bc the game always caught it as slang for tits regardless of context.
this shit feels like it was yesterday but it was almost an entire decade ago and im upset
facade is genuinely one of the only games that made me sincerely scared and upset (which is weird bc i dont even have experience w failing relationships) like i would probably classify it as the “best accidental horror game” ive played and i cant really explain why
i would like to see it done again tho now that we have better graphics and AI and shit
the weird thing about facade is that if you grew up in a household with parental conflict, for example, and you approach it in a similar way, it becomes really easy to win
but you can also just mess around, pick up that weird glass dildo thing and toss it across the room, kiss tripp and/or grace several times in a row, then type in any word you can think of for boobies and hilariously get kicked out while being named ‘gonzalo’ or ‘kha’ and that’s more fun
Many autistic people prefer to call it “Autism Acceptance Month”: Awareness and acceptance are two very different things. You could be aware of autism, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to accept and understand it
Autism Speaks is hated by most autistic people: Ask most autistic people what they think of Autism Speaks, and they’ll tell you it’s awful. Autism Speaks seems intent on finding a cure, and is awful when it comes to their treatment of autistic people, treating autism like a monster that destroys families
Many autistic people don’t want a cure: Sure, there’s some that do, but there’s a lot that don’t. And they would prefer more understanding of autism than a cure for it
Don’t light it up blue, go #RedInstead: Lighting up blue is often associated with Autism Speaks, many autistic people would prefer you to light up red instead
If you’re a neurotypical relative, don’t make it all about yourself: So many “Autism Parents” out there make posts taking about how hard autism is for them, without seemingly giving much thought to their child, and they get angry when autistic people correct them. Yes, autism can be tough, but I can guarantee that it’s going to be a lot more difficult for them, especially if you refuse to understand and listen to us
Listen to autistic people: This one should be obvious, but so many people don’t do this. Sometimes autistic people get told they’re “not autistic enough” or “not that autistic” when they’re trying to talk about their own experiences. If you want to understand autism, we’re the best people to come to
Be careful about the autism information you share online, check the facts: Whilst Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month should be a good thing, many autistic people don’t like it because it’s also the chance for more misinformation and lies to be spread about autism. Don’t always believe what you read, check for evidence to prove the facts to be true
