theres a guy in my asian art hist. class who is visually the epitome of a redneck stereotype except hes an art history major and is very clearly passiomate about it
imagine a bowlegged white guy with a beard wearing flannel, a belt buckle, and cowboy boots talk about the intricacies of a hindu temple in sri lanka. this is the future liberals want
hey guys check out this dumb redneck but twist: he’s not actually dumb!! he likes art and other stuff like a regular civilized person!!
i never insinuated he was dumb, and at no point did i assume he was just an ignorant redneck caricature. i was simply surprised at the unusual combination of the cowboy-esque appearance and his clear passion for art history
specifically. they are two qualities that are not often paired with each other.
i didnt mean to imply my surprise came from a place of preconceived judgement. i made this post because it was just a tiny thing that made my day. im so happy the art history field isnt filled with pretentious stiffs. it is exciting to me to see different cultures collide in ways i never expected.
When asked, Ms. Frizzle denies that she “knows everything”
However, Ms. Frizzle always knows what her students are up to, knows the answer to every question they ask her, and never shows fear even when in extreme mortal peril, as if she’s experienced this all before
Although we know she was in a rock band called the Frizzlettes and was a Shakespearean actress, Ms. Frizzle’s childhood remains mysterious
Ms. Frizzle is EXACTLY the sort of person to travel back in time to teach herself, and is in fact the most likely fictional character to do so
Nobody is ever named “Valerie Frizzle” at birth
Ms. Frizzle dresses queerly and laughs at her own bad jokes
A lot of the series is about Arnold learning to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy – that phrase is more or less targeted at him as a student
Ms. Frizzle looks a lot like a grown-up Arnold
Holy shit???????
She literally has a giant storeroom full of barrels of pickles because she loves pickles so much what more evidence do you need
What relation do pickles have with the transgender community?
One of the medications used in hormone therapy for trans women (spironolactone, which counteracts testosterone) has the side effect of, putting it crudely, making you have to pee all the goddamn time. That causes dehydration and loss of electrolytes.
Pickles and pickle juice turn out to be a fairly convenient and flavorful way of satisfying an electrolyte craving. Those who’ve been on spiro a long time can develop a nigh-spiritual bond with ‘em.
dope
LIZ IS TRANS TOO BC SHE HAS HORNS AND FEMALE JACKSONS CHAMELEONS DONT HAVE HORNS
i dont think any scene shook a fandom as much as the final goodbye from the pokemon mystery dungeons explorers games did. Like its been a literal decade and i still see countless fan art of that one moment with their own heroes and partners, it just genuinely Fucked People Up™ like that, how iconic
Yknow having geo pebbles and sticks is so fuckin wild in Pokémon mystery dungeon cause the hero is literally chucking rocks at every wild Pokémon that goes against them and cause Pokémon to faint from it
Yes, Kevin, I brought my Game Boy to school. Did it bring you joy when you told the teacher? Did it satisfy your bloodlust when she confiscated it from me? You are no paragon of virtue. You are a beast. A vile monstrosity who feeds on suffering. The laws of man may celebrate your deeds, but higher powers may say otherwise.
