Cue To Me Realizing Only Now That As A Kid I’ve Mixed Up Pergament (animal Skins) And Papyrus (plant

Ugh, I know, right?? When I (age ten, probably) first got my hands on the book I read the first and the second volumes in a day? Maybe two, can't recall. I loved it. I loved it for years and was perplexed when I told my father about it offhandedly and he said he really thought Mowgli was a much better take. Book of Jungle was cool, but I read it far earlier in my life and was convinced it paled in contrast.

So of course I reread Tarzan about a year ago, and it was awful. Oh, the sweet time when I would read a book and be amazed by a man swinging through jungles, jumping over great pits, battling both man and nature, and carrying inconceivably heavy gold bars (though even then I realized it made no sense because it didn't even look pretty as jewelry does, and unlike rich American Colonists Of British Ancestry kids and guys raised by X-Men style apes do not value gold for itself, at all). This is why I try to not reread books - or rewatch movies - that I liked for physical prowess of the main characters. Most of them turn out to be painfully macho and with weird sexual content that both went over child-me's head, while what I want is the description of how well that dude climbs a tree or catches a certain scent. Heartbreaking.

You know what Tarzan isn't actually what you could call a "good" man.

Yes I can expand upon this point if asked.

What if,,, Ryuk came to Earth to watch murder clownery but halfway through decided he preferred star-crossed lovers slow burn romance. And then spent like ten episodes trying to get Light and L together, completely fucking over both of their plans because what can they do against him?

umm, canon

No idea when it was posted because I only vaguely understand how this place functions (not very healthily, I've been assured), but we now have an animated proof of that, which makes this comment so much funnier, because it's been proven to be pure truth.

Whats your favorite batfam character?

spider-man

The right answer was actually "Odyssey is?!"

mozzarella from real life is trans!

Hah, I think it may be partially because it is based on Ukrainian song Щедрик (Shchedryk) that is sung on 13th January for Old New Year, and Ukrainian traditional songs tend to sound like that, especially when performed in a traditional manner.

And that’s why it’s my favorite

I agree! The only people for whom it is okay to mention this is for us Ukrainians but only when we mock Russians who parrot their propaganda's bullshit about us being a "lost sheep" or whatever. And even so, I am feeling vaguely like Shan Yu from Mulan is going to appear in the corner and stare at me disapprovingly each time I mention again that Moscowia was created by a Golden Horde khan long after Kyiv Rus was established (and Shan Yu isn't even a Mongol!). It feels like an insult. Lets call Russians Russians and judge them for what they are today. "Sins of fathers" trope is no longer so popular, somebody give the Wall Street Journal writers a swift course in (truly) modern culture.

Fucking bizarre watching people try to eject Russians from whiteness in real time

I spent an embarrassing amount of time squinting at all the shadows, trying to find where the Spooky hides 😔😆

support your local lantern!

another blatantly self indulgent western au lmao

To be fair, he IS an Uchiha. What else is he supposed to make if not a scene? Pottery? That spot's filled, I'm afraid.

oh how Obito likes to make a scene

you just didn't have to do it, honey. you didn't have to if you didn't want to deal with him anymore. oh, you just wanted to show off in front of your man and be like "look it's me, will you find out it's me?" well fuck he will. as you wish.

Acceptance, cookies, bro love. What else one can wish for? Especially since at least one of them I can make come true without relaying on fate at all!

2021 looks bright!!!

This speaks to me on spiritual level.
