this may already be on tumblr but i laughed until i cried this morning so i thought i’d bless you all (source)

this is what i mean by “mainstream preppers and survivalists are both limited in scope– they only prepare for very specific doomsdays– and consumerist/cargo cultic in their approach– they prep by buying the Correct Items.”

good revprep is fostering networks of resilience. which is to say: doing gay shit with the homies

Okay but like. That last tweet where we learn what the wife does for a living?

Oh shit this version didn’t show that.

When textbooks get mass produced, the most important state they have to pass/be bought in is Texas.

Which essentially means that if they won’t be bought in Texas, they aren’t made available for the rest of the country.

who drew this and why are they not credited properly?

I did!

My source is still there but someone erased my original description ‘cause apparently people don’t like told “HAPPY HALLOWEEN!” all year round (those people just don’t know that Halloween IS all year around and that the spooky never stops)

Anyways….

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!!

I didn’t know bucket toothpaste was only a thing here!

WAIT! How do people in other countries put toothpaste on their toothbrushes??? You d-don’t use your toothpaste spoon????

You keep your toothpaste in condiment tubes???

we have toothpaste buckets too in australia. i don’t understand how you could put toothpaste in condiment tubes when it’s literally solid??

Wait….What do you mean solid???? Do you mean to tell me Australian toothpaste is like a brick of toothpaste???

it’s not as solid as a brick. it’s just like gravelly and gritty. more like shampoo

IT’S HERE

I’m going to start it pretty soon. I’m for some reason locked out of my student account and email and IT was no help as usual, so what is there to do except read a parody romance novel written specifically to spite J.K. Rowling?

Chuck Tingle has more or less become a meme because of his bizarre titles and covers and because of the Hugo fiasco, but I’ve heard relatively little about what it’s like to actually read his work and I frankly have no idea what to expect or if I should go into this with expectations at all

This book is…surprisingly easy to take seriously as a book. I don’t know what I’m trying to say. But it’s like. A Book and not just an extended joke. Like on some level it’s not particularly terribly written nor does the plot like, completely exist in service to the…whatever humor is derived from the self-aware absurdity of the premise

AFSGFBCHH??

I love that he’s not even described as a humanoid dinosaur. He’s just sexy goth tattooed Severus snape and he’s also a parasaurolophus and we are left to just figure it out

I have to talk about what is going on with the worldbuilding. Like this is a parody. Of Harry Potter. But there’s an entirely different magic system and….everything???

In summary

  • there doesn’t appear to be a statute of secrecy type thing magic is just fully integrated with the modern world and modern technology
  • Harriet is a wizard, but that means that she creates spells by typing them out in long manuscripts, which on one level is a nod to the book publishing industry but on another level is kind of interesting in of itself
  • there’s a??? spellcasting industry??
  • there are different types of magic users other than wizards, and they appear to be based on the d&d classes
  • or at least, bards exist and they are distinct from wizard
  • the dinosaur is a bard
  • Bigfeet exist and they are integrated with modern society
  • there are sentient motorcycles and no one finds this in any way unusual
  • THE DINOSAUR IS A BARD?!?!?!

…Warlocks in this world get their powers from a pact with Chuck Tingle

The fourth wall break is killing me.

The sexy dinosaur is also trans

As much as I love skillfully crafted satire that takes deft jabs at the flaws of the thing it’s lampooning, there’s also something charming about how every character in this book has a name blatantly and hilariously derived from a Harry Potter character regardless of how most of their roles in the story barely resemble anything like characters in Harry Potter.

…You know, I’m not even sure Chuck Tingle has read Harry Potter.

I’m back to reading. Does chocolate milk have intoxicating effects on sentient motorcycles??

…sentences I never thought I’d write

um im lowkey getting feels from this like there are some genuinely emotionally resonant bits in here what the fuck

chuck tingle’s magic system is unironically better than jk Rowling’s I’m sorry

image

I’m so sorry to sample the sex scene but. “sexualis secondus” just killed me. I have been pronounced dead by this book. im obliterated this is indescribable

I.

I literally have no idea how to describe what I’m experiencing right now. Like this is a somewhat poorly edited parody adult dinosaur romance novel but. It’s genuinely?? Creative?? In a lot of ways???? And there’s a lot of heart to it, a lot of genuine powerful messages about identity and about art and creativity and the fourth-wall-breaking device is…I can’t explain it because that would spoil it but it’s actually pulled off so well?????

This is not like, a humorous joke story this guy did for Being a Little Shit and Spite reasons, it’s like actually in its themes and message a genuine “fuck you” to j.k. Rowling’s transphobia even though it’s this absolutely wild janky batshit story and I have never experienced anything like this in my LIFE

I did not expect my adhd little heart to be touched by understanding of my fears about creativity and writing and its place in my life. Not like this. What the fuck. What the fuck.

Chuck Tingle is a gift to this world and when the time comes for him to call on his army I will be there with bells on.

It’s always fun to see someone discover Chuck Tingle.
