i read this in their voices
Doof: "You see Perry The Platypus, about a few weeks ago I entered The Tumblr Sexyman Showdown. It's a contest for only the sexiest of men-- now now, Perry the Platypus, before you roll your eyes at me, it's not the conventional kind of sexy, no, no! It's the pathetic, the silly, the unconventional! Only for the acquired tastes. Like me~!! So I joined in, and you wouldn't believe it! I plowed through the competition! Bracket after bracket, I dominated the votes. That is, until the final round... when I was put up against Stanley Pines of someplace called 'Gravity Falls'-- for some reason, even though he claimed to come from a place called Gravity Falls and I come from the Tri-State Area, the competition listed me to come from someplace called 'Phineas and Ferb', and I have no idea where that is or who those people are--I was kicked to the curb! He won by a landslide! Well, not literally though, that's a metaphor--that's how Bill Cipher won against Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians, and I KNOW that place doesn't exist--b-but anyway, Stanley won and I only got second. And it doesn't make any sense! Sure, Stanley is similar to what the true Sexyman is, but he's not the greatest! For one thing, he's not that pathetic--jeez, if anyone is the most pathetic here, it's me! He's not that tragic-backstory-able, or anything, he--and worse yet, he's HOT! I mean, he's not that much of an acquired taste! Sure, he's older, but that's it!! Clearly, the people are biased! Which is why I made...THIS!"
Doof: "BEHOLD! THE UNHANDSOME-INATOR!!!!"
Doof: "With this, I can make anyone ugly--so ugly that their ugliness is JUUUST too ugly to be a Tumblr Sexyman! But too handsome to be truly ugly...and I can also tweak it to make myself just a little more handsome, hehe! With this, I will make the ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA Sexyman ugly, and shoot myself so I will be the most acquired-taste-handsome out of all of them, winning the love of all of the TRI-STATE AREA, AND ENACTING MY REVENGE AGAINST THE TUMBLR SEXYMAN CONTEST!!!"
Doof: "--Or wait, come to think of it, this isn't really revenge, I mean, the contest's over and it won't come back until next year so this scheme prooobably should've been postponed until then... not to mention this inator isn't exactly that tweaked, it's a rushed job and has some...ahaha...side effects...unless I CRANK UP THE RANGE OF THE INATOR!"
Doof: "Yes, Perry The Platypus, I will become the most tumblr-sexyman handsome by proxy in all of the tri-state area AND GRAVITY FALLS, OREGON!!!"
| Meanwhile In Gravity Falls |
*Stan, reading the paper, suddenly looks up.*
Stan: "Something just happened."
*beat*
Stan: "...Eh. Who cares. Worse has happened in this town. It's probably the heebie jeebies from that German guy from a couple days ago, eugh."
Stan: "Worth it for the prize money, though. I'm still the sexiest man on all of Tumblr! Ahaha!"
*beat*
Stan, still grinning: "...whatever that is."
*A beat. Then the door to the Mystery Shack slams open. It's Ford.*
Ford: "Stanley! I'm back!"
Stanley: "Hey, sixer. Back from another one of your little adventures?"
Ford: "I suppose you could call it that! Ever been to the tri-state area? There are hundreds of anomalies there! Did you know that all the platypuses are teal there?"
Stanley: "Yeah, yeah...well, make sure to tell me later. I'm reading the paper."
Ford: "Well, don't get too absorbed. We're going to Italy tomorrow, remember? We're visiting the Vatican! Lots of great things to explore there! We might even see the pope!"
i have something inappropriate to say
how the hell did erik lehnsherr divorce charles xavier when he was looking at him like this on that damn beach
i need john walker sobbing in a corner during a mental breakdown and bob has no idea what do but just sits next to him quietly
just to be clear: i started writing a screenplay
there's something fascinating about how tarantino describes his storytelling process and artistic vision. the way he articulates the deliberate choices he makes and the importance of their effect demonstrates the depth of his understanding as a director and writer. he gets you think about his work, analyze the various possibilities with the freedom to draw your own conclusions, and even seek it out again to view it through a new lens, which is probably the best reception to get from audiences. he said that wanted people to watch his movies and be inspired to make their own and he absolutely nailed it. massive respect
the moment when wade realizes that logan has night vision >>>>
nobody asked but these are my favorite poolverine works on ao3
Until you get sick of me, honestly

Absolute gem - the author has designed a plot that is a rollercoaster of emotions worth every second spent reading. Heavily Lana del Rey coded in the most beautiful and heartbreaking ways. Incredibly domestic Poolverine post-movie where they work through their respective trauma while their relationship evolves. Immediately hooked and continue to be.

by @dazecorr
The perfect AU fic - the author uses scenic imagery to illustrate the depth of the connection that develops between two strangers while on a cross-country road trip. Quite a refreshing change of pace with neither having their mutations. Logan is a tattoo artist, a profession I hadn't encountered in fics before but suited him well in the context. The whole journey feels nostalgic; you're along for the ride and feel immersed in the story. Read this one in a single sitting.
wade's idea of a date with logan is a quiet night in because he figures that's where logan would be most comfortable
and logan's idea of a date with wade is at a carnival because even if he'll probably regret the choice five minutes in (sensory issues, prefers solitude, and wade is - affectionately - cringe in public), it's worth seeing wade's childish excitement on rides and playing the (rigged, but logan beats them) games
(personally, logan would opt for a hike and secluded picnic in the woods, which they do once in a while)
the last line was DIABOLICAL
every writer has that one cursed chapter that haunts them like a ghost. mine is chapter 29. chapter 29 knows what it did.
people talk about the "it went poorly" comment but NO ONE mentions how the thunderbolts new avengers just flat out disrespected sam (and bucky was too exhausted to defend him)
