enkidu and gilgamesh, presumably on their way to the cedar forest to slay humbaba, after which everything was fine, a-okay even, and nothing went wrong
the state of tiktok skits about having a rude customer is getting out of control i just saw one from a pharmacist and the whole skit was like someone comes in and goes “you shorted me on pills” and the pharmacist goes “no we didn’t you can see on the prescription it said to give you this many” and the patient goes “well i usually get more so i’m gonna call my doctor about this” like how is that customer being unreasonable or a karen or whatever
but the whole skit was about pain meds and we all know if someone wants more pain meds it’s bc they’re a lying addict trying to scam you and not just someone who’s confused bc their doctor made a mistake so it’s ok to post skits on tiktok portraying them as a villain for wanting the medication that was prescribed to them
Karen is quickly becoming one of those terms that’s lost all meaning, like so many before it.
Like. You ask me to define “Karen” and I’d say it’s the lady today who said she wanted a chicken sandwich then threw a fit when I told her we’ve never served chicken but could do a turkey burger, calling me stupid, insisting we’ve always given her chicken before, then insisting she speak with the manager (which is me).
Meanwhile, my 16 year old sister was telling me about a Karen at her work (she works in a really nice retirement home) who was a lady who asked for no sugar in her tea, was given sweet tea, and then explained she couldn’t drink it because she was diabetic and it might kill her. “Like, she was such a bitch,” my sister said, “She wouldn’t even drink it! Told me to send it back and get her a new one!” Which, like, maybe it’s because I’m old now, but if I messed up someone’s drink and they had a medical condition that kept them from drinking that drink, they’re not the bad guy in that situation. The proper response is to fix it, but my sister’s been raised by her phone and is on TikTok all the time and thinks that “Karen” and “mild inconvenience” are the same thing.
disney when they spend exactly $2 promoting their new movie and release it during a busy weekend and then it flops

@artist-heart83 There is actually a reason for this. A very disgusting and greedy capitalist reason but a reason nonetheless.
Basically, they are banking on it not doing well in theaters, but doing well on streaming services in October, over three months after the release date.
Most of the writers/actors/workers/etc paycheck depends on how well they do in theaters and the three months after the release.
Since it’ll fall in theaters and won’t pick up in streaming until after everyone has gotten (the majority of) their paycheck, they won’t have to pay their workers as much as their work is worth.
slapping modeling clay around blindly without thought or purpose, i look down and find a perfectly sculpted replica of myself seated at a table with a lump of modeling clay before me, similarly shaped into a still smaller instance of the same scene. and i am afraid to look up

[image description: ten stills of Silver in various scenes from Black Sails, each overlaid with a text post.
1: Silver standing on the Walrus and looking off to the side with concern. the post says “me gazing out into the ocean: sure is some scary soup”
2: Silver grinning wryly. the post says “i dont want a job i just want paychecks”
3: Silver addressing the crew. the post says “i am NOT gaslighting you. i am lying to you. gaslighting implies a level of effort that i am simply not putting in. deceiving you does not require much”
4: Silver glaring at Flint while stirring ingredients in a bowl. the post says “nah. fuck you *throws awful ingredients into your stock and ruins your soup beyond repair*”
5: Silver in anguish as his leg is about to be amputated. the post says “Has anyone else noticed that it’s bad”
6: Silver in the rowboat confessing his betrayal to Flint. the post says “i have feelings for u. not telling u which ones.”
7: Sliver staring straight ahead with a cold, grim expression. the post says “i think i’m going to become an unreliable narrator. if you see me obscuring the full truth or saying things that directly contradict each other, don’t worry about it.”
8: Silver in one of the training flashbacks, looking at Flint with an uneasy expression. the post says “i’m gatekeeping myself. nobody can know who i am”
9: Silver on Skeleton Island, telling Flint he doesn’t care about the consequences of ending the war. the post says “whatever i literally dont care 😎 <- cares so much that it feels like my organs are tearing themselves apart in my chest”
10: Silver and Flint on Skeleton Island, swords in hand, arguing. the post says “stop calling me a bad person just because im orchestrating your downfall 🙄”
the bonus image below the caption is of Silver on horseback riding into Nassau before the battle, lowering his crutch to the ground so that he can dismount. the tweet on the image says “How do you serve cunt in a disabled way?”
