ayn rand failing to understand that sesame street is for young children
god this is missing the best part JIM HENSON I think Ms. Rand and my character Oscar the Grouch would have a lot to talk about actually. I am laughing out loud at this idea.
AYN RAND Why would I want to talk to him. What has he achieved or trying to achieve.
JIM HENSON He has achieved what I think is the ultimate goal of your way of thinking.
lmao

I can’t believe I never knew that Jim Henson straight up murdered Ayn Rand.
it’s fictional, dears. it didn’t actually happen. still hilarious.
I just want you to know that at yesterdays AIHL All Star events, they made the goalies race each other in full gear and I can’t wait to see the video of it
Here’s a short clip courtesy of the Mustangs Instagram!
A better clip thanks to the AIHL, you can watch the full highlights reel over on their Facebook… Just don’t tell them I uploaded that part to YouTube 😅
i never realised that The Babadook was accidentally put in the LGBT+ movies section of Netflix i thought we all just collectively decided the babadook was gay for no reason at all
I’ve been craving SickFic, so have some prompts and feel free to tag me here at @wordmage because I would love to see your takes on the prompts below. Feel free to add more, or use it for RP/art, whatever. I plan to try and fill them all out, myself.
99.9% Immunity – (character) never gets sick, right? Wrong.
Elephant in the Room – (character) is sick, but for some reason – rank, personality, etc – no one is talking about it
Heroes Don’t Take Sick Days – there’s no time to rest when you have to save the world, so (character) has to push themselves even when miserable
Insult to Injury – as if being injured wasn’t enough, (character) is getting sick too
Ill Timed – it’s the worst possible time for (character) to be sick, but their body didn’t get the memo
Irreplaceable – (character) is the leader/boss and isn’t able to take personal time off, even when they’re under the weather
It’s Nothing – (character) insists they’re fine, right up until they collapse
Medic Down – every group seems to have a primary caretaker. How do they handle it when (character) is the one sick?
Milking It – if (character) has to be sick, they’re at least going to get as much pampering out of others as they can
Not a Word – (character) said they don’t get sick, and isn’t in the mood for anyone to remind them while they recover
No Rest for the Wicked – the big bad (character) has more to worry about than the good guys
Open Secret – everyone knows (character) is sick, but they’re trying so hard no one has said anything
Persuasive Partners – (character) is sick, and refusing to stay put; their partner(s) give them a good reason to stay in bed
Stepping Up – boss/leader (character) is clearly miserable, so the others go out of their way to take as much of their workload as possible
Suffer in Silence – for whatever reason, (character) doesn’t want anyone to know they’re sick, and does everything they can to hide it
Take One Down… – (character) gets sick, and spreads it to the rest of the group
Team Mom/Dad – (character) is the one to always take care of others on the team
The Wolf Cries True – (character) has been known to exaggerate or even pretend they’re sick, only this time they’re telling the truth
This is Your Fault – (character A) was clingy while they were sick, and now (character B) has it
Why Didn’t You Say? – (character) hasn’t been feeling well, making for some uncharacteristic behavior, and their partner(s)/team/friends are much more understanding once they realize why
This is somehow one of my most popular posts (nearly 400 notes on it, mostly reblogs) which I am 110% behind and totally approve. So I’m also going to add more things. (Drop these in people’s askbox with characters or something! Mine, too!)
Behind Closed Doors – (character) has a solid public face, but in private they let themselves be taken care of when they’re not well
Bless You – (character) has a particularly sneezy cold, and may or may not be able to retreat from life to deal with it.
Don’t Speak – (character) has a horribly sore throat and is reduced to barely talking while they load up on hot drinks and soup to recover.
I’m Dying – (character) has a headcold and despite that not being anywhere near the worst they’ve ever been, they’re flailing about it to anyone who will listen
Judgement Call – (character) really isn’t feeling well, but has pressing obligations. Others could step up, but no one is as qualified. They choose to…
Painfully Polite – (character) has very strong feelings about how one should behave, and they are even more mindful when they’re not at their best, talking through a sore throat, trying not to cough, attempting to stifle sneezes, etc.
Misery Loves Company – (character) is under the weather and not up for much, but really appreciates having someone there. Even if that someone is sick too.
Stay With Me – (character A) rarely asks for help, but they’re feeling miserable enough to ask (character B) to keep them company a while.
With Kid Gloves On – it’s a known fact that (character) has trouble accepting help, even when they’re sick; the others have learned specific “acceptable” methods over time
You Heard Nothing – (character) is obviously coming down sick – sneezing, sniffling, coughing – and absolutely refusing to admit to it, let alone take things easy.
OKAY SO OBSERVATIONS AS I OBSESSIVELY LISTEN TO HALO
1. The song just started in the first panel
2. From “didn’t even make a sound” to the chorus is a LONG TIME. 25 whole seconds. I think Jack stood there, heart sinking into the floor, frozen, he’s too late, he missed him– until Bitty said “lord”
3. And bitty almost definitely said “lord” at the beginning of the chorus, because he came in with the 2nd line in the last panel
Kudos to fanfiction writers for writing about all the trauma and emotional and mental turmoil that the original content creators dont acknowledge when putting characters through hell
I hate hate HATE all those 2edgy 4me theories about kids shows. Like Angelica dreaming up the rugrats, or the ed, edd, and eddy children being ghosts, or literally anything that takes a lighthearted and fun kids show and has to turn it into some tragic take of rape or murder or misinformed mental illness.
So you know what? From now on I’m gonna do the exact opposite. Every cool grim-dark show is now because of a bunch of children. To get us started:
Game of Thrones: A middle-school DnD campaign with the most angry, vindictive DM who has promised to kill everyone’s player characters (and their family) by the end.
The Walking Dead is actually a bunch of kids playing zombie apocalypse in their neighborhood and every time someone “dies,” it’s because their parents called them home for supper.
Breaking Bad is actually just a fanfic the students in Mr. White’s class write about him because no one has any idea what he does with his free time and the running jokes about it got wildly out of hand.
These are all officially my headcanons for the actual shows now
some friends wanted to RP, but half of them wanted to do FBI crime fighting adventures and half of them wanted to do mad scientist sci-fi. eventually one of them said ‘why not both?’ and Fringe was born.
timeline shenanigans and duplicate characters happened because some people played other people’s oc’s while they were busy or out of town, and then didn’t want to give them back. the big timeskip happened because they got stuck on plot and decided to do a future au to loosen up, with precisely the sort of results that decision usually gets you.
when someone mentions Pearl Discourse i always think about how the MSPA forums have had a series of Vriska Quarantine Threads for literal years now because otherwise every discussion eventually turned into a giant Vriska argument
case in point:
these threads last 100 pages, or up to 2500 posts each before a new one is made. so it could be much worse
the mere fact this vriska argument went on for 42,500 posts and still going is a good estimate of human nature
just moving along like everyone else
