What am I looking at..? Is that a whole chicken? A pie? Is that gelatine? *What* am I looking at..?
Every aspic of this is terrible.

WHAT SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON SUPERVILLAIN BULLSHIT IS THIS!?
Your assumption is infinitely funnier than me typing up a 4k word essay on why that expression is apropos for the man who pulled the queen mother of political long cons to *become* Emperor Palpatine
This is the funnest expression ever pulled in all of starwars history
We've been without the next book too long if this is what we've been reduced to when it comes to theories and plot twists... 😅
Apparently the favourite Rhaegar x Lyanna explanation is now that the whole war is actually Brandon Stark's fault (Rhaegar only kidnapped Lyanna to save her from Aerys' wrath, realised how perfect this arrangement was for the prophecy, he told Rickard about it but didn't have time to tell Brandon and Brandon then ruined everything when he went to King's Landing). Like. Sure, time to blame the guy who lost his sister and was then brutally murdered alongside his father. Also, Rickard definitely would have been fine with his only daughter, whose betrothal was decided by him, becoming the crown prince's second wife (at beast). Anything to absolve Rhaegar of blame
Wow.
Also, can we remember that what started the war was not Brandon riding in to the Red Keep and being a little too confrontational about the fact that his sister was abducted by the crown prince, but the fact that Aerys chose to murder eight people about it? Lords and their sons? Without trial? Lords of the Riverlands, Vale and North? And then went on to demand the murder of two more, Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon, the new Lord Stark and the Lord of Storm's End? Two of the highest Lords in his Realm? On the basis of absolutely nothing?
Even if the hare-brained theory had any merit - that Rickard Stark would have been fine with making a concubine of his only daughter and destroying a betrothal that would have made her the Lady of Storm's End - that still has no bearing on the fact that Aerys decided to be a tyrannical, sadistic murderer instead of following the rule of law and upholding his end of the feudal contract and granting a fair trial.
And given the volatile political position of House Targaryen at the time, given that a block of informal alliances had formed between North, Vale, Stormlands and Riverlands, Rhaegar is STILL INSANELY CULPABLE if he did not realize that kidnapping half of a future marriage within that alliance block would be the domino that would send political stability in the Realm crashing and burning. Even if Aerys had not been a sadistic tyrant. Which, however, he was!
The conduct of House Targaryen is from every angle indefensible and no amount of contrived excuses will change that.
This makes me happy in ways I can't articulate, you did wonderfully. If you have the time and energy for it, I implore you, please don't stop
“Hey, wanna go to the mall today?”
a personal challenge to see how many characters/references I could fit into one picture, could definitely still do more!
[I don't have an issue with Cecil's dumb hubris nearly as much as I do with the fact that in the Invincible universe, not only can you survive after your head's been shattered into a literal pile of goo, but you can still talk to request medical assistance]
I just chalk that up to Viltrumite's having a slightly slower version of Wolverine's healing factor and call it a day... 😅
I like to think Conquest always whispers his darkest secrets to people he's about to kill because he has nobody to chat with. "I love rainy days, fluffy kitties, and double rainbows. Take that to your grave." *CRUNCH*
I don't have an issue with the believability of Cecil's dumb hubris nearly as much as I do with the fact that in the Invincible universe, not only can you survive after your head's been shattered into a literal pile of goo, but you can also still talk to request medical assistance.

There is so much going on that I don't know what to comment on first...
Here. A bunch of cursed images and memes redrawn as dp characters

Elon Musk said on Friday afternoon that he will “make an alternative phone” if Apple or Google decide to kick Twitter off the App Store or Play Store, their respective mobile app marketplaces.
This is definitely something a child would say if they didn't get their way.
I have never heard of a ptarmigon before, and if someone had described what it looked and sounded like I would have thought they were pulling my leg or describing a funny local cryptid. Knowing that this funny little bird with the angry red eyebrows that makes croaky "oh wow" sounds exists adds that much more brightness to my life
