They did fucking stellar work with the character growth. I normally hate the "you need to give it a couple seasons" kind of thing, but Venture Bros did so well to have a moment where you feel the tone start to change, and somehow, the goofier start ends up working in the shows favor.
I will never look at a Homies the same way again.
Wait, Hollywood?
You mean I didn't have to duel my girlfriend on a high mountaintop and then spend a month surviving together after our allies abandoned us? Like, we thought that's how you start dating.
Fuck.
That is somebody's completely undisguised fetish, and to that person, you do you, but being upfront about your smut sells better.
We had a long driveway. I quickly learned how to position myself to be able to see out the window and prepare before being seen.
That was also around the same time I learned how to quickly make a bug-out bag, a bit of cryptography(My dad and I had a code language, just in case), and just how far I can be pushed before physical response is my only response.
There isn't enough therapy in the world.
A clogged drain needs to be taken seriously. Not only does it render at least one drain useless, improper de-clogging can lead to the blockage simply moving further down the plumbing system, and that can cause even more issues.
Plumbing is not a joke. Be up front with your sexual desires.
As someone who has a giant soft spot in her heart for Duke, what story is there to tell?
Duke Nukem is a simple man. He's here to fuck up alien bastards(for taking the babes, crashing his ride, generally existing), save attractive women, and maybe remember to pick up that pack of gum on his way home.
He's not really even a "character", he's a walking embodiment of 80s and 90s machismo with big guns and less plot than the typical comic book of the time. He's a machine built for one-liners. He's a never-ending thoughtless action flick you love because it takes so little actual thought to enjoy.
Chickens are opportunistic omnivores. They will eat their dead, they will eat others eggs, they will eat their own goddamn eggs, if in desperate need.
If that bothers you, never look into pigs and wild boar.
"Easy to Use". I certainly hope so, it's a fucking spray bottle. What's the hard to use option? Waiting until a new moon to summon Ba-Kok, God of Chickens to ask for a stay of cannibalism?
It can be hard to break that wall. I walked into my transition knowing that I was putting my marriage, my shelter, my everything on the line by coming out. I spent months quietly crying to myself in the bathroom, scared of both sides. Wishing it could be easier, hating myself for even wanting this.
It took realizing that there was an inevitable end either way, I just had the choice of being alive or not for it. It took time for me to find new support, and in that between, I felt extremely alienated.
Even trying to be in trans spaces online, I felt like I couldn't talk about what I was experiencing, about the negatives that can come, and how it still felt worth it to really breathe as me, as the woman who had been screaming behind every word for so much of my life.
It can be an ugly experience, and we can feel like there's no one there to help catch us as we fall. That's why one of the best things we can do is never tell someone they're whatever, but to let them know that, if they are, they aren't alone. There's still people who will help them through the hardest.
Who up strokin' their mole?
"So, when did you first notice this feeling, this emptiness?"
"Well, I was on my first adventure, had the party all together. We'd been on the road for a year when it happened...."
"It?"
"Well, the Paladin and the Warlock were arguing again... I stepped away because I don't like conflicts like that. The Cleric was standing up with the Paladin, the Rogue was getting ready to just slit all their throats, and then this... This voice from the sky said 'Rocks fall, everyone arguing dies'. I was the only one left..."
"Ah, yes, well, the basic Adventurers Guild insurance package doesn't cover Acts of the Elder God, Gee-Em. They get really angry when we try to fix things they did..."
Damn, ate too many banana.
