@packbat I didn't get to read it in detail, so no guarantees, but this TVTropes entry could be helpful?

I just wanna put the whole Earth between my jaws and bite down until I feel it crunch.

Man, if you cute little earthlings didn't live here...

@zx3 Did you eat a magnet again? Tsk. <3

After about a month of casually tormenting and mocking my Chosen Arrogant Libertarian Asshole Quarry on the New Orleans subreddit, I've pulled one of my favorite tactics: suddenly pulling a 180 and being very friendly and collegial with him on non-political threads, as if we were buddies all along and I never said word one against him.

It's awesome. Oscar Wilde was totally right. It's driving him bugfuck. 😺​

@LexYeen@snouts.online HYDRATE MOTHERFUCKER <3

@kobi_lacroix@snouts.online I did a little research into its origin and as far as I can tell... it's been widely debated by cartoon fans, and absolutely nobody knows.

🎵​ Oh, pluggin' up the plotholes
🎵 In our weird comic book
🎵 Why did I make this plot so convoluted
🎵 Fans are total jerks
🎵 So we know they'll point them out
🎵 Oh well, I hope they'll still give us moneeeeeey...

(apologies to Bugs Bunny... and to our Parallax characters)

mfw i see a leftist editorial prophesizing nothing but imminent doooooom... but every single one of their cherry-picked examples had a direct equivalent happening when i was growing up in the 80s

@dodec Tragically, she was pulled away before she got to explain. Scholars will be left to speculate for millennia, no doubt!

@anthracite YES.

Aww, apparently the property manager assigned to our rental has just passed away.

We never even met him, but there's a very flattering obit for him on their website, and everybody from there has been SO FUCKING NICE to us far, I do feel a bit bad...

@anthracite New rule of thumb: except in Serious Arc Scenes, whatever Atber is currently doing/saying should never have anything whatsoever to do with what the adult Mixolynes are doing/saying...

@anthracite Atber definitely needs, at some point, to build themselves a tiny functioning glider—out of components that should never, ever been usable to construct a vehicle of any kind. :)

They left. D':

Shine on, you crazy 0.1 carat diamond. <3

@packbat Yeah, as someone who usually starts by turning off screenshake, particles, and EVERY OTHER THING...

Would it make sense if I were to say "I hate this but love that it exists?" Like, as long as people use it in their own bedrooms and not where decent folk can see it... ;>

Now she's lecturing her presumable-genetic-contributor about "small lightning." I don't know what this is yet, but I promise, I will keep you posted.

OK, now it's "Meow, meow, I'm a cow," inexplicably accompanied by stretching her arms out like airplane wings and zooming around the cafe. That must be one hell of a modified cow.

Hey, @anthracite? I think I found our voice actress for Atber... :>
