Just put something back in it
A blog for the continued ramblings of some guy with a beard.
shewhohangsoutincemeteries asked: All that was meant by that fact is that Joss (or whichever writer) made it up. Not that the show's bible is false or anything. I'm not religious, so I wasn't accusing them of anything. The fact just means that its an original whedon quote.
Well, I was just pointing it out as a joke more than anything. But maybe the wording could be different for your fact to come through more.
“The ‘biblical’ quote Saffron recites in OUR MRS. REYNOLDS does not actually appear in the Bible.”
Instead maybe something like, “”The ‘biblical’ quote Saffron recites in OUR MRS. REYNOLDS is an original line by Whedon and does not actually appear in the Bible.”
Just if that’s supposed to be the focus of the statement. Otherwise it just sounds like you’re criticizing the show about some trivial matter.
Ugh, I sound like an asshat, like I’m chastising you, which I’m not, I’m just being a grammar nazi.
pleasestopbeingsad:Street harassment is not a compliment.
THIS! i love being (and giving) compliments to strangers, but there is a HUGE difference in the way you say it.
YES ALL OF THIS
I was literally just thinking about this the other day. How the difference is in the delivery. “I like your top,” is paying you a compliment to your taste. “Show me your tits,” is demanding an action whether or not you want to comply with it.
Well done, OP. You really nailed it.
I dumped my old therapist for something related (and the fact that he completely wasn’t working with me on the comic book metaphors that define my life, but anyhow).
He was always complimenting me on the color of my eyes or my hair and finally I was like “Look, could you not do that? It makes me uncomfortable because it doesn’t have anything to do with me as a person.” And then he mansplained for like five minutes and I decided I was done with him.
Still haven’t gotten around to sending him a check for my co-pays.
Yeah, you gotta be careful with compliments. It’s still kind of like a guy is approving of the things a gal has done. And while hard work should be appreciated it, guys need to remember gals getting dolled up isn’t always for them. It also kind of sets up for guys to be the end-all judges of how women should look good.
I compliment my friends and acquaintances when I feel it is warranted, but I won’t go up to strangers for this reason.

MAYBE it’s a different Bible…you know, since no one calls Priests by the title Shepherd.
Oh right, I forgot the Bible is the truth and obviously wouldn’t be change in just a couple hundred years…

“I think a lot about what makes a strong female character. You know, movies and TV shows, these things have influence, my own website. So I think the question of “What makes a strong female character?”, often goes misinterpreted. And instead we get these two-dimensional superwomen, who maybe have one quality that’s played up a lot. Like, you know, a Catwoman type, or she plays her sexuality up a lot and it’s seen as power. But they’re not strong characters who happen to be female, they’re completely flat and they’re basically cardboard characters.
The problem with this is that then people expect women to be that easy to understand, and women are mad at themselves for not being that simple. When in actuality, women are complicated. Women are multifaceted. Not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy. And women happen to be people!”-Tavi Gevinson for TEDTalks [x]

You can’t keep getting pissed at people for not doing the shit you assumed they would be doing! You just fucking can’t!
How do you tell someone you never speak to that they still pose in photos like a shy fat girl and that she should be proud of her body and stand tall without looking like a massive Facebook stalker?

The nifty interactive version was coded by my friend @mentalguy. Or if you to print it out, download the PDF (page 1 / page 2).
The Modern Superhero Comic Event Picker was inspired by an episode of the 3 Chicks Review Comics podcast in which they joked about someone making a “grim n gritty wheel.” I decided to give it a shot, but it ended up transforming into a modern age gimmick generator — because what is grim n gritty now, other than another gimmick?
This is so amazing guys. Inspired by something Sue and I were talking about on an old episode of 3 Chicks (specifically regarding the nu 52) Kate took us to heart and HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK.
So fun.
More than a little bit awesome, here.
My poop smells like the glazing I used on my steaks last night…
