You know makes me nostalgic seeing Dumpty still selling out shows. I was there for the first one you know, 8/12/2014. They were still new so people were actually paying attention, fewer phones back then among Dumpty fans
It really didn’t take them long to gather a following. something magnetic about watching these dudes in their egg costumes shredding on the wall. You know the first time Heathcliff went crowd surfing, people were kind of worried no one would catch him on account of trying to recreate that old rhyme. And that’s the kind of flavor they played with too. Always booking with thematic bands, naming their shows all provocative.
You can really tell the band has come a long way. Like I said, back when they were new you actually had to pay attention. once these guys hit the internet? That sort of intimacy was gone.
But the increased attention did bring some fun new layers to the band. most folks say this was their flop era but I had fun. They were having fun. Isn’t that what it’s all about at the end of the day? leaning into the egg theme (even though egg is never mentioned in Humpty Dumpty). showing up on holiday tours) like other sellouts). You know how people are when their hometown hero goes viral.
Yeah, today’s show is full of Instagram clingers-on But every now and then you can catch them, Dumpty, it’s just the right circumstances and it’s just like the good ole days.
Not a phone in sight, just cats living in the moment, unrestrained.
here’s to 11+ years of Dumpty. If y'all ever broke up, I don’t think we could put you back together.
the only thing stronger than the gastric distress i get from eating cherries is my love for eating cherries
what
thank you. im once again reminded why i love tumblr because where else could i get content like this
“Download Shinigami eyes” in response to the increase of HP advertising is the most tumblr thing ever. Remember kids when we’re faced with people trying to kill us, the most important thing is to shill for your side of stupid discourse where you yell at other trans people
Idk where people got it in their heads that Jowling is a transmisogynist and a transmisogynist only. She literally came out as a TERF via the essay “Projecting My Hangups Onto Transgender Men”. She complains about gender neutral language around vaginas and periods. She stood up for a lady who got obsessed with the genital situation of a nonbinary children’s mascot. This is woman is throwing all punches everywhere
and don't forget her violent hatred towards asexual people. (And presumably aromantic people by association, even if she's never publicly acknowledged our existence)
she hates everyone who doesn't conform to her extremely bigoted world view, including cis women who don't agree with her
The Sprite tea.....
do they rehearse? are there a million outtakes? are they just drift compatible?
actually, i wanna see them pilot a jaeger. i want to see them turn a kaiju into a cocktail.
up next, the triangle.
we know what hole that goes in, right?
that's right, the square hole!

There's a somewhat-unstated division in social progressive circles that goes "being socially inept for autism reasons is fine, but being socially inept for regular reasons is bad and mockable." And then in practice everyone assumes it's for regular reasons when it comes up
We don’t talk enough about the two identical old women who just hang around Azula saying ominous shit in unison. What’s their deal. Is there a comic about them. Are they paid for their services
WHAT FUNCTION DO YOU SERVE IN THE GOVERNMENT
They serve cunt and omens. What more do you need?
Ok, real talk because I also think alot about the implications of these ladies. Since that portrait of their younger selves was in the beach house owned by the royal family I kinda assumed they were Azulon’s sisters, I.E. Zuko’s and Azula’s great aunts. That would also explain why they are seemingly in charge of overseeing Azula as she trains in lightning-bending (despite the fact that they are not benders themselves), since that skill was a carefully guarded secret among Fire-Nation royalty.
they should make the strongest guy ever and the weakest guy ever have a fight so we can see who wins
i feel like the weak guy has an in because the strong guy might not be used to the matchup
also it could be that the weak guy is so small that he dodges all of the strong guys punches. and all of his own weak hits would add up on the strong guy as this happens
on the other hand the weak guy is basically done in one if he gets hit
unless he survives that hit then its like he has another chance
ive thought about this for over 1 minute now and theres basically no way the strong guy wins
one of my earliest video game memories was my neighbor from down the street burning me a copy of Roller Coaster Tycoon onto a CD and giving it to me for free, with the caveat that one day a week he would sit behind me and backseat game HARD. like "build this here, okay now build this here, no not there, HERE, okay now make a path here," etc etc. i never minded it at the time, i genuinely had no idea how to play so i thought he was teaching me. years later i learned that him and his family were Orthodox Jewish and him backseat gaming me was his way of getting around the Sabbath ban on playing video games
sorry to be brave on the internet but I think food labels should list every single ingredient and that there should be harsher penalties for mislabeling and deceptive labeling

Yeah, that's exactly what the complaint was about.
the ads on bookstagram are ragebaiting me at this point. “imagine the phantom of the opera but make it a love triangle with one guy who is a tortured artist and one guy who is a golden retriever boyfriend” okay so you mean the fucking phantom of the opera
