This Man Does Not Love His Son And You Cannot Change My Mind.

This man does not love his son and you cannot change my mind.

If asked his response is just "emotions aren't scientific"

All things considered Dib's Dilemma is objectively pretty low down on the scale of ways in which Dib has been psychologically tormented over the course of canon, but I'm not sure if anything has ever made me feel so genuinely distressed about it, because the entire thing is Dib practicing genuine empathy from a place of personal experience towards someone who never has and never will do the same for him.

Something both Dib and Membrane seem to have in common is an almost pathological need to maintain their version of the Truth™ no matter the personal consequence—they cannot make concessions or compromise their views even for their own direct benefit. Only that's exactly what Dib does here, and it is genuinely just so maddeningly backwards to watch this kid go to bat for a father who has never once validated him or protected him from ridicule, specifically because he knows how unbearable it is to be constantly disrespected and disbelieved. He proves Professor Membrane right at his own expense, because it's the thing he wants most in the world and he loves his father too much to withhold it the way it's been withheld from him.

And what REALLY fucks with me is that Membrane understands exactly how significant this is (perhaps because it is exactly the thing that he's never been able to bring himself to do). He understands the sacrifice being made and still he will not do the same. I literally cannot overstate how much I hate it when this man is self-aware.

My fictional crushes really prove that I don't give a fuck how you look and it's all personality based. I'm crushing on all sorts of creatures where looks means absolutely nothing. Sentient robots that all look the same? I like specifically those two with the personality of loser and brave woman. Monsters? What are they like? Is she a badass? Is he a sweet but nervous wreck? Better question are they a cocky little shit? If the answer is yes I want them and any others can fuck off!

Someday, I'm gonna buy one of those necklace sets that makes a heart but can come apart as 2 halves to share with someone, and wait for the day someone takes one of the halves off my neck.

Get close enough to do so without being maimed to earn my love, close quarters combat style!

I'm on a pipeline hyper fixation and I don't know how to feel about it.

It leads me many a place yet I try helplessly to swim against the current.

Can't wait for the unsolved mystery channels to get ahold of this

musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction

Here's something I noticed that I haven't seen ANYONE TALK ABOUT:

It's sorta subtle, and Vox and Alastor do it a couple times, their mouths drip, and considering the colors used I can only assume it's dripping blood (cause angel blood is gold)

Do these bitches just get so worked up they all fuckin bite their tongues or some shit??? Why they do that?
