The watercooler: a place to chat

You can only desensitize a horse to so much. Trap them in a confined space with burning, fear-crazed pigs . . .

Then I summon my trusty steed, Tommy Wiseau.

(sorry this is a random side rant thing, just ignore this) (And possibly a spoiler for Greatest Showman)
I just watched The Greatest Showman with my friends and I thought it was garbage... I mean maybe it was because I had such high expectations for it, since Hugh Jackman's in it, and the music was made by the La La Land people (or something like that)

but I just hated it! I hated the character arcs that went nowhere, the PAINFUL autotune infused pop music (which I thought was kind of out of place for the time era), Zac effron in general, the predictable characters, the cliches, ughhh. By the seventh time they started singing I just wanted to leave the theater because I couldn't handle any of it any more...

i'm trying to help test a thing with desktop ads on chrome but i keep getting the same video ad from ulta beauty i don't know if it's a test or a threat

and i only say the later because while i've browsed makeup stores (albeit very scarecly) i never really buy anything...i mean how should i know which shade of blue or violet would match my skin tonne

[joe_galindez]

Yes. Yeeesss! Let the snobbery flow through you!

I drew Automorph at work with speech bubbles that are a huge spoiler.

ummmmmm i love CupcakKe the rapper a lot and I am actually bald now

[CalixLucas]

Whoops! Just realized story doesn't have a stable plotline. Writing one up now xD

[punkarsenic]

tooooooooooooooooootally... theres only so far shot reverse shot and various hand gestures can get you

i like pairing up a long dialogue scene with a second bit of silent action, thats a lot of fun if it can be pulled off. so say your protags are chatting about their Plans, meanwhile the villain is Skulking, smth like that

otherwise, it helps to vary what the 'camera's focusing on - zooming way out, zooming way in, that rly helps. and thinking abt how the shots communicate the dynamic is fun (so two people are arguing, whoever has the upper hand is upshot and whoever has the lower hand is downshot, perspective is used to make one person bigger or smaller than the other). its also a good opportunity to include a lot of nonverbal characterisation

[CalixLucas]

Alright, I wrote the plotline...
It turned into four plotlines...
Apparently, I have four books I have to write. Maybe five...

[CalixLucas]

Welp, the rims came off of my tires...

Welp, the rims came off of my tires...

Best I can do is a nun joke.

Do It! Do the joke! Do It!

I should probably get out of bed and stop avoiding reality now.

So these two nuns are on a road trip when their car runs out of gas. Fortunately they're within sight of a gas station.

"Go buy some gas," one of the nuns says.

The attendant is willing, but the nun needs to use her own container.

"What have we got?" the nun asks her sister.

"All we have is this chamber pot."

And that's how the nun ends up tipping a chamber pot into the tank just as the biker drives by. He stops to laugh.

"Now that's what I call faith."

Then the car starts.

Does anyone else habitually browse petfinder or local shelters' websites even though they can't adopt for whatever reason? No? Well. I do not recommend because it's a heartbreaking habit lmao.

Somebody please go to Portland and adopt this gorgeous guy

I have started rewriting my story for the fourth time xD. Hopefully it's the last time.

[joe_galindez]

It never ends. It. Never. Ends.

[CalixLucas]

I have deleted the first two chapters of my story two times now xD
Now it has been three times. But, Woohoo! Rewrote and reposted chapter one before I went to bed!

Search engines never fail to impress me with their subtle sense of humor. I thought I'd look up winter/holiday sweater designs for inspiration and among my searches was penguin sweaters. My search results included this:

Guess I shouldn't have been surprised considering it does match the search terms

and like this is something so simple but it was a needed smile on my face

Bing knows what you REALLY want..
