mods asleep post Trans Popeye

Popeye in a pretty dress walking down a cliff side with his horse, saying "CAREFUL - HORSH - IT'S STEEP - WE'RE GOIN' DOWN INTO BLACK VALLEY NOW"

A cruel man and his henchman -- the hench says "Boss, that gal I was tellin' you about got a job at the 'Thirst-Killer' dancin'" while the man says "SO? HMMM..."

Meanwhile, Popeye is in an incredibly short skirt and tank top, with one of his legs so far behind his back that you can't see it, saying "HERE'S A STEP I LEARN'T WHEN I WAS IN THE FOLLIES. ME LEF' LEG IS STRAIGHT OUT IN BACK OF ME"

The tough guy, at Popeye in his short skirt, saying exasperatedly "YOU DISH-FACED, SCRAWNY, LITTLE, ONE-EYED, HALF-WITTED SPECK OF DIRT - I SAID - WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

To which Popeye replies, in a cutie-pie pose, "I wouldn't marry no man wich is willin' to marry a gal as arful as I yam!"

Budoktober 5 - Yamcha. In his natural state. Yeah I COULD have drawn him in his cool Wolf Fang Fist pose or something but I didn't lol. Dude loses in the quarter-finals in EVERY tournament (21st-23rd). Luck unfortunately doesn't find Yamcha in Z either...

Yamcha with Puar and the wolf from his wolf fang fist in the hospital.

They keep trying to force Leto into a Depp situation but HE WAS NEVER A BIG NAME DRAW??

He was a supporting lead in some well regarded dramas, NEVER a "gotta go see this movie goes Jared Leto is in it!" guy, it's so bizarre

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

dunbine is a good show for spotting scrunkly little background characters. If I included all of the screenshots I have in my watch thread this would be most of it lol

Cham but here eyes are just little dots.

Show's face here is literally just three dots. I don't even know whether the third dot is supposed to be his nose or his mouth.

A really funky scrunkly Show in a weird pose in the Dunbine's cockpit.

This is my favorite scrunkly background weirdo in the show so far. Cham's face is just two little dot eyes and her head is misshapen. The line for her chin isn't even complete and just has a gap on one side.

Panel 1: A tiny fairy godmother from Cinderella is hovering in the air pointing her wand at a carriage in the background, with a teal primary color and gold trim. The general shape and decoration of the carriage seem to have a "rat" motif. The fair godmother says "Okay Cinderella, just to be TOTALLY CLEAR ... At the stroke of midnight, this magical carriage WILL turn back into a giant rat."

Panel 2: Cinderella, in her classic blue dress and blue headband, clasps her hands together in worry looking up at the fairy godmother, saying "OH NO!! Heaven forbid the PRINCE lays his eye on such vileness!"

Panel 3: The prince looks on as she's riding away on a giant rat into the moonlight, having dropped one of her dirty-ass sneakers in his courtyard. The prince is Shen also.

Panel 4: The prince says "that was really hot how she rode away on a giant rat."

The difference between good software and bad software is that when good software gets an update, you get excited. "oh, what did they improve?"
When bad software gets an update, you feel dread. "oh no, what did they fuck up this time?"

In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.
