you ever think about the fact that in the wreck it ralph universe ten years off from the movie theres probably someone posting on a forum like “does ANYONE remember the character king candy from the game sugar rush????? my local arcade used to have him but one day he stopped showing up in the roster and none of my friends remember him from their versions”
someone datamines an old sugar rush console and finds nothing about king candy and everyone who frequented litwaks is deeply perturbed by their collective memory
the entire concept of ‘going turbo’ makes basically every video game creepypasta true
wreck it ralph is secretly a movie about polybius
King Candy is basically the Candle Cove of videogames.
Hi no I just read that link and that is INFINITELY more terrifying than what this post was talking about what the FUCK
Lol I can’t believe some of y'all still haven’t heard of candle cove
my favorite thing is when you pick up an animal and you look them in the eyes and you can tell nothings going on behind them. you look at them and theres just elevator music. stupid animals really are like the fucking best, the lights are on but no one is home
that also happens when u pick me up and look into my eyes
I simply said what I wish had been said when Kevin and I got married.
This is one of my favourite pieces of this show because “Marriage is like…oatmeal” was introduced as part of the “Holt can’t do emotions” gag
But in this speach, the unusual metaphor is powerful and sincere and heartwarming. And it shows that these writers really understand the character of Holt and the nature of love, and that they are very, very good at their craft.
I wonder how many people on here that have reblogged those “I treat retail workers/public service workers with RESPECT because I’m not HUMAN GARBAGE” type posts have also endorsed or straight up taken part in sending death threats/suicide bait/unrelenting harassment to the people that make their media
im loving seeing more people compare fan entitlement to customer entitlement because it’s exactly that
Additionally, there have been circumstances where people are straight-up not doing their jobs, and removing the possibility of ‘speaking to the manager’ by shaming people isn’t a great solution. For example, I have just discovered that my GP never sent any referrals to specialists. In that case, ‘the manager’ is literally the only person who might be able to help. If everyone is shamed into ‘not making a fuss because that makes you human garbage’ then there is also no way to ensure essential work gets done. And companies love that, I guarantee it.
why are some teachers so insistantly aggressive about punishing children for having interests they dont understand?
I remember this shit happening while I was still in school too where anything that was really popular among young boys was instantly labelled a distraction that you could be punished for. pokemon, yu-gi-oh, beyblades, all of them were banned very quickly from my school and I remember on numerous occassions teachers calling them stupid and pointless and going on tangents about how they dont let their children engage in interests like that because it rots your brain. what was the deal? And the main excuse would always be that it was a distraction. Like yeah thats the point pricipal dr.deepshit, children cant be expected to be 100% focussed on their schoolwork for 8 hours a day. they need to have outlets to blow off steam because school is fucking hard. let kids like things you stank asses.
Lately I’ve been doing this thing where when men give me shit at my job, I choose to instead speak to their wives/girlfriends/female counterpart. I had a dude today try to yell at me and I ignored him and instead spoke in a very level voice to his wife instead. He literally stomped his feet like a fucking toddler and said “stop ignoring me! I’m talking!” And his wife said “George, please use a quieter voice. You’re embarrassing me.”
You are a genius and I’m using this
Lol I learned it from my mom. She does this all the time and eventually the guy either sulks off somewhere or adjusts his behaviour and THEN she’ll address him. I did this with my friends puppies when I was training them and it works the same tbh
Whenever a married couple calls in escalated, I always address whichever one seems the most rational. 9/10 it’s the wife. Usually, the husband gets cut out of the conversation until we’re done.
Memorable quotes:
“She’s explaining it to me now and you were wrong.”
“Honey, stop talking so the nice lady can help us.”
“Why don’t you go have some coffee while Amelia and I figure this out? Hmmmm?”
“I understand it and I will explain it to you later. Let me get this taken care of.”
“I understand, sweetie, can you explain it to my husband real quick? [aside] Now, you listen to this lady and don’t interrupt!”
Calm wives in the face of their overemotional husbands are a customer service lifeline.
There’s a great moment in the film where he realizes he’s worthy
without the hammer and has power without that thing. It’s all in that
line, “what are you, you’re not the God of Hammers”. And then there was
one part where Odin talks about it, it’s not in the film, but he goes
“you know we only gave you that hammer to help you control your powers
because you were so useless you kept on blowing up the furniture and
electrocuting the staff. You couldn’t control it so we had to give you
something to focus it.” I love that image of this little kid, little
Thor walking around the palace, like Elsa in Frozen. — Taika Waititi
