“ENGLISH OR SPANISH? WHAT THE SIGMA? HAWK TUA” I thought about killing you yesterday, and it disgusted me. I thought of carving a hole into the cavity of your chest, reaching in with my bare hands, seizing your heart between my fingers, and crushing the delicate clockwork lifegiver into so much gore and so many giblets. Tick, tick, tick, as I hold it delicately in my palm, in an instant, SQUISH! Gone. I thought of watching the light leave your eyes, and it disgusted me. Not because of the horror of the scene, which usually would terrify me. Not because the thought had entered my head at all, rising from the deepest pits of hell, which would usually be enough to frighten me. What disgusted me is that to do that, I would have to touch you. I. Loathe. You.
4: Olivia’s resolve to continue the Journey/Joseph’s resolve to defeat Wham
She and Joseph both realize that in order to complete the journey, they must put aside their grief and complete what they started

The Bob-Bomb plot in Paper Mario: The Origami King is literally just like every character death in JoJos Bizarre Adventure. I will elaborate if prompted.
3: Similarities to Bobby’s ghost and… well a lot of scenes in JJBA but I mainly have screenshots of one so we’ll roll w Foo Fighters and Bucciaratti.
So like I’m not sure if this actually happens that often but from what I remember, after plot important ally people die in JJBA, a lot of the time you can see their souls leaving their bodies as mist and fog, and sometimes they stick around for a lil bit as ghosts to lend out some advice/provide a bit of grief counciling. Bobby does both.
Him and Foo Fighters talking about how the survivors Jolyne and Mario) should relay their final wishes to an ally (Anasui and Olivia)
Him and Bucciarati consoling their alive allies on their sacrifice
Speaking of, Bobby blows himself up knowing his life would otherwise be slow and lead to an empty death in order to further the journey of Mario and Bucciarati sacrifices his body knowing he was slowly dying in order to end Chariot Requiem and stop Diavolo from using the arrow, so they both sacrificed themselves for the greater good

Second: Emotional/Visual similarities between Mario and Jotaro/Lisa-Lisa (I will be going more in depth on Lisa-Lisa with evidence simply because I have more screenshots.
So let’s get this right off the bat since it’s the most obvious. Mario’s pose is visually very similar to the way Jotaro often poses after a friend dies.
But Mario also shares a reaction with both Jotaro and Lisa-Lisa. Anyone who’s watched Stardust crusaders and beyond is aware that Jotaro is often very stoic and calm while facing the most dire circumstances, which shares many similarities with Mario’s reaction to Bobby’s death. While this is true, I would, however, argue that there are equal if not more similarities to how Lisa-Lisa reacts to Caesar’s death. For starters, the relationship: while not identical, it is obvious that Bobby looks up to Mario as a sort of mentor figure, even referring to Mario (in the Japanese version) as “aniki” which, correct me if I’m wrong, implies that both Mario is older than him, and that he sees Mario as a close associate, which is also indicated in the rest of their dialogue.
They both first shares a similar seemingly detached reaction to their companions death, Lisa Lisa pointing out that they are in enemy territory and Mario urging Olivia to continue on with the adventure. But…
However, although they put on a tough or even pragmatic exterior, both are clearly devastated by the death of their comrades.

Ok so obviously spoilers for Origami King and JJBA, but while playing through the pre-Sweetpaper Valley segment for the first time since actually having watched every episode of JJBA, I noticed various similarities between the way Bobby’s death is written, and the way deaths in JJBA are written. Here, we will both examine the scene of Bobby’s death and the aftermath of it, and how it compares to various character deaths in JJBA. I kinda forgot my argument so I’m just gonna use a bunch of screenshots and gifs to show scenes I thought matched and maybe give my thoughts
First: Olivia’s reaction to Bobby’s death/Narancia’s reaction to Abbachio’s death.
Both express a disbelief at first that their companion is dead…
Followed by dramatic and utter despair and a complete breakdown, with Narancia falling to the ground sobbing and Olivia running into the cave to cry in a dark room.

Well now we have ozone layer subliminal message snail rainbows that make you think you’re a snail so hard you turn yourself into one
I think one of the biggest reasons I enjoy jjba is because I envy this level of confidence and sincerity in storytelling. See, I would not have just said something as fucking stupid as "bullet-deflecting oil." I would've come up with some kind of Watsonian bullshit magic-science explanation that at least squared with the logic of the story instead of just saying "Oh, it's an oil that deflects bullets" and moving on to the next thing. But that is not because I am a better storyteller, no, quite the opposite. It's because I'm a coward.
really glad my brother got into dungeon meshi because our conversations led to stuff like this
Saw this again so ig here’s another sorry if this is bad to do
do it :3
I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook
I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.

my personal idea of hell is an eternity of sheltered 26 year old queers showing me 2018 tweets which call random things genders and waiting for me to laugh.

NOBODY IS GOING TO MATCH MY FREAK (none of the people from my college liked my bug identification instagram story)
I AM UNEMPLOYABLE
Once in my dreams when I was sick with covid I died slowly and painfully in real time in my bed. I suffocated to death because my asthma and the congestion made it more and more difficult to breathe, and my limbs were too heavy to move. I cried out for help, but I didn’t have enough breath. The memories of that dream remain and haunt me to this day. I’ve had very few deaths in my dreams that felt so real. Sometimes I wonder if I really did die then, and the rest of this life is some odd dream or some bizarre quantum immortality situation.
died and came back tired. died and came back exhausted. died and came back with manic energy. died and came back with malingering unease. died and came back twitchy. so many possibilities

So You've Finally Switched to Firefox: a Brief Guide to a Some Very Useful Add-Ons.
This post is inspired by two things, the first being the announcement by Google that the long delayed Manifest V3 which will kill robust adblocking will finally roll out in June 2024, and the second, a post written by @sexhaver in response to a question as to what adblockers and extensions they use. It's a very good post with some A+ information, worth checking out.
I love Firefox, I love the degree of customization it offers me as a user. I love how it just works. I love the built in security features like DNS over HTTPS, and I love just how many excellent add-ons are available. It is a better browser than Chrome in every respect, and of the many Chromium based browsers out there, only Vivaldi comes close.
There are probably many people out there who are considering switching over to Firefox but are maybe putting it off because they've got Chrome set up the way they like it with the extensions they want, and doing all that again for Firefox seems like a chore. The Firefox Add-on directory is less expansive than the Chrome Web Store (which in recent years has become overrun with garbage extensions that range from useless to active malware), but there is still a lot of stuff to sift through. That's where this short guide comes in.
I'm presently running 33 add-ons for Firefox and have a number of others installed but disabled. I've used many others. These are my picks, the ones that I consider essential, useful, or in some cases just fun.
Adblocking/Privacy/Security:
uBlock Origin: The single best adblocker available. If you're a power user there are custom lists and scripts you can find to augment it.
Privacy Badger: Not strictly necessary if you're also running uBlock, but it does catch a few trackers uBlock doesn't and replaces potentially useful trackers like comment boxes with click-to-activate placeholders.
Decentraleyes: A supplementary tool meant to run alongside uBlock, prevents certain sites from breaking when tracker requests are denied by serving local bundled files as replacement.
NoScript: The nuclear option for blocking trackers, ads, and even individual elements. Operates from a "trust no one" standpoint, you will need to manually enable elements yourself. Not recommended for casual users, but a fantastic tool for the power user.
Webmail Ad Blocker: The first of many webmail related add-ons from Jason Saward I will be recommending. Removes all advertising from webmail services like Gmail or Yahoo Mail.
Popup Blocker (Strict): Strictly blocks ALL pop up/new tab/new window requests from all website by default unless you manually allow it.
SponsorBlock: Not a fan of listening to your favourite YouTuber read advertisements for shitty products like Raycons or BetterHelp? This skips them automatically.
AdNauseam: I don't use this one but some people prefer it. Rather than straight up blocking ads and trackers, it obfuscates data by injecting noise into the tracker surveillance infrastructure. It clicks EVERY ad, making your data profile incomprehensible.
User-Agent Switcher: Allows you to spoof websites attempting to gather information by altering your browser profile. Want to browse mobile sites on desktop? This allows you to do it.
Bitwarden: Bitwarden has been my choice of password manager since LastPass sold out and made their free tier useless. If you're not using a password manager, why not? All of my passwords look like this: $NHhaduC*q3VhuhD&scICLKjvM4rZK5^c7ID%q5HVJ3@gny I don't know a single one of them and I use a passphrase as a master password supplemented by two-factor-authentication. Everything is filled in automatically. It is the only way to live.
Proton Pass: An open source free password manager from the creators of Proton Mail. I've been considering moving over to it from Bitwarden myself.
Webmail/Google Drive:
Checker Plus for Gmail: Provides desktop notifications for Gmail accounts, supports managing multiple accounts, allows you to check your mail, read, mark as read or delete e-mails at a glance in a pop-up window. An absolutely fabulous add-on from Jason Saward.
Checker Plus for Google Drive: Does for your Google Drive what Checker Plus for Gmail does for your Gmail.
Checker Plus for Google Calendar: The same as the above two only this time for your Google Calendar.
Firefox Relay: An add-on that allows you to generate aliases that forward to your real e-mail address.
Accessibility:
Dark Reader: Gives every page on the internet a customizable Dark Mode for easier reading and eye protection.
Read Aloud: A text to speech add-on that reads pages with the press of a button.
Zoom Page WE: Provides the ability to zoom in on pages in multiple ways: text zoom, full page zoom, auto-fit etc.
Mobile Dyslexic: Not one I use, but I know people who swear by it. Replaces all fonts with a dyslexia friendly type face.
Utility:
ClearURLs: Automatically removes tracking data from URLs.
History Cleaner: Automatically deletes browser history older than a set number of days.
Feedbro RSS Feed Reader: A full standalone reader in your browser, take control of your feed and start using RSS feeds again.
Video Download Helper: A great tool for downloading video files from websites.
Snap Link Plus: Fan of Wikipedia binge holes? Snap Link allows the user to drag select multiple hyperlinks and open all of them in new tabs.
Copy PlainText: Copy any text without formatting.
EPUBReader: Read .epub files from within a browser window.
Tab Stash: A no mess, no fuss way to organize groups of tabs as bookmarks. I use it as a temporary bookmark tool, saving sessions or groups of tabs into "to read" folders.
Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey: Managers for installing and running custom user scripts. Find user scripts on OpenUserJS or Greasy Fork, there's an entire galaxy out there of ingenious and weird custom user scripts out there, go discover it.
Browsing & Searching:
Speed Dial 2: A new tab add-on that gives you easy access to your favourite sites.
Unpaywall: Whenever you come across a scholarly article behind a paywall, this add-on will search through all the free databases for an accessible and non-paywalled version of the text.
Web Archives: Come across a dead page? This add-on gives you a quick way to search for cached versions of the page on the Wayback Machine, Google Cache, Archive.is and others.
Bypass Paywalls: Automatically bypasses the paywalls of major websites like those for the New York Times, New Yorker, the Financial Times, Wired, etc.
Simple Translate: Simple one-click translation of web pages powered by Google Translate.
Search by Image: Reverse search any image via several different search engines: Google Image, TinEye, Yandex, Bing, etc.
Website Specific:
PocketTube: Do you subscribe to too many YouTube channels? Would you like a way to organize them? This is your answer.
Enhancer for Youtube: Provides a suite of options that make using YouTube more pleasant: volume boost, theatre mode, forced quality settings, playback speed and mouse wheel volume control.
Augmented Steam: Improves the experience of using Steam in a browser, see price histories of games, take notes on your wishlist, make wish listed games and new DLC for games you own appear more visible, etc.
Return YouTube Dislikes: Does exactly what it says on the package.
BlueBlocker: Hate seeing the absolute dimmest individuals on the planet have their replies catapulted to the top of the feed because they're desperate to suck off daddy Elon sloppy style? This is for you, it automatically blocks all Blue Checks on Twitter. I've used it to block a cumulative 34,000 Blue Checks.
Batchcamp: Allows for batch downloading on Bandcamp.
XKit Rewritten: If you're on Tumblr and you're not using whichever version of XKit is currently available, I honestly don't know what to say to you. This newest version isn't as fully featured as the old XKit of the golden age, but it's been rewritten from the ground up for speed and utility.
Social Fixer for Facebook: I once accidentally visited Facebook without this add-on enabled and was immediately greeted by the worst mind annihilating content slop I had ever had the misfortune to come across. Videos titled "he wanted her to get lip fillers and she said no so he had bees sting her lips" and AI photos of broccoli Jesus with 6000 comments all saying "wow". Once I turned it on it was just stuff my dad had posted and updates from the Radio War Nerd group.
BetterTTV: Makes Twitch slightly more bearable.
Well I think that's everything. You don't have to install everything here, or even half of it, but there you go, it's a start.
DO NOT DO THIS!!!
If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Ok guys had a dream. I had a job interview but i didn’t know where so I filled out all the info after a shower at like 11 at night, and my dad drove me there. It was this weird place directly attached to a Holiday gas station, and when I walked in, it SCREAMED money laundering front. It was an Indian restaurant, but in the most dilapidated room ever, and it was directly attached to both this warehouse filled with common household goods and a room entirely filled with a pool devoted to the main “business source”: Underwater horse walking. I walk in and am met with what looks to be an old Asian man and his 4 sons. The sit me down on a table and begin the interview. First they bicker about a few tasks, apparently one of the sons drained the pool too early. Then they ask me if I can navigate the warehouse, and if I have a swimsuit. One of the sons asks if I like his craftsmanship on a rack of homemade guns in a way that feels like a thinly veiled threat, and I am saying whatever I think will get me out of there alive because I am terrified for my life. Then they pull out a sheet of paper that looks like a hiring contract and a list of 7 more questions to ask and ask me, quite literally “Are you the type of person who asks a lot of questions about what they’re told to do, or can you just get the job done” and I tell them that while I can ask questions, if they tell me not to, then I won’t, and they laugh at me. Then, before they ask the 7 questions, I ask them “What is underwater horse walking??” They all laugh, and the old man says something along the lines of “When I think about what it is, I’m terrified. How can a man not be when he finds the secret of life on Earth?” It turns out, in the dream, underwater horse walking is some way to unleash the ancient cosmic power of creation, and he’s using it in some odd way to like, make new life i think? I don’t remember his exact goals. Then an order comes in for paper towels so I have to help stack ramen. At this point I’m thinking of telling y’all about this place because apparently the store is actually crazy good and has like a lot of foods from other countries crazy cheap. Then Ms. A (my senior year English teacher) walks in. She greets me and asks me about like the place and hands me my family’s car keys (??????) because apparently she needed our car for something and apparently my dad is there, and I’m like “I am NOT working here” so then I leave and the dream gets foggy from there. Idk what this all means like at all
I sure did not
