I've Been Bored The Past Three Days So Look What I Made From Scratch!

I'm probably not going to keep posting this much usually, but I'm bored whilst watching my friends play Cards against Humanity in a public park.

Anyway, Ford's alien fish husband is called Nimirylov which in the alien fish language means "perfect current". Their ship name NimFord then it just means "perfect Ford" which is hilarious.

Bonus: Their daughter is called Penni which less directly translates to "brain perfect". So Ford named his child something that basically means smart which feels very in character for him.

Just want everyone to know that Nimirylov does not know that Ford's actual name is Stanford. Ford just introduced himself as Ford when they first met and just... never mentioned his technically real name.

This is such an important thing to talk about. I'm British, but because of my obsession with history, I've never liked England, even hated it at points in my life.

I will say that that's an important distinction to make. The British Empire was mostly because of England. Wales was taken over by England for so long, and Scotland never got along with England.

The British Empire is not something to glorify at all.

I think a LOT of the political issues faced by the UK today come from a sense of wanting to get back to “the glory days”. We’ve kind of mythologised the time when Britain “ruled the world”, to the point that it’s a part of our very culture, to the point where it’s kind of treated on culture as our divine right.

I’m British Bengali, and I know the history of Bangladesh. I know how my people suffered under British rule. There wasn’t enough physical a price to pay, back then. Britain ruled a quarter of the world at the cost of very real human lives. They justified it by dehumanising the people they were oppressing.

yeah, the British Empire was cool, like as a concept. But the kind of hunger for international power is a rot at the core of our culture. We never should have ruled over so many, we shouldn’t have imposed ourselves and our values on other cultures. The idea that ANYONE has that right is a problem for any just society.

Most powerful politicians, at least subconsciously, believe that. I actually think most brits believe it, though by no fault of their own. But that belief is leading to more suffering for the people in the country. We have all these politicians more focused on sucking up to America than making any meaningful change.

it’s all a pathetic play for power. If the government were more focused on making lives better for brits than trying to be seen as the empire it once was, we would be in a MUCH Better position. The right are so obsessed with “British culture”, when they’re the ones KILLING the culture in the name of GDP.

Do a DNA test Stan, find out if you have any children.

A new Bill Cipher has just been born... hmmm... Suspicious...

SANS! HI! Okay, so I need to know. Are you more daddy or babygirl? I want to know about your mutuals, too.

that's. that's one Hell of a question, kid. uh. i don't even know. i'd just go with a third option, which is "silly guy".

@the-real-fastestthingalive @therealstanfordpines and uh any other mutuals who are comfortable answering this?

Mabel having six fingers is one of my favourite aus. I mean, I love any au centred on Mabel, and I love any parallels between Mabel and Ford, so it's not surprising but I just love it.

...and then they were attacked by gnomes lol

This is what cleverly entitled "Six-point comic" (AKA Dipper discovering journal 3 in a universe where Mabel also has polydactyly)

The inspiration was this over on Ao3 by @wickerss-s (hope you don't mind being @'d)

Bonus:

Just write it yourself but put random nonsense in it that's obviously wrong. Say that's just the fault of the ai, and if they want the work correct, then you can't use ai.

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

Help. I was trying to do incorrect quotes for Mabel, Dipper, and Penni, but Penni just keeps getting called some variant of a hoe. Why does the generator (and Mabel and Dipper in the generator) think that about her? What is this telling me?!

I've changed my avatar to Doodle Penni because I think she's adorable. Everyone who knows of my account previously, do not be surprised by the change. It's been coming for a long time. I really needed to be done with the base avatar.

Finally time for my mythological knowledge to come in handy.

The Echidna being referred to here, is the mother of monsters from Greek Mythology not the anteater. She's not the mother of all monsters but enough of them to earn the title mother of monsters.

spin this wheel

you're now this mythical creature, congrats!
