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!"

Good afternoon and a most glorious #Thorsday Thanksgiving everyone!

If you're not down with turkey, maybe try THOR'S CABBAGE ROLLS instead...?

(They actually don't sound bad, but that pic isn't doing them any favors)

The glorious & unexpected POPEYE movie float from the 1980 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, featuring Harry Nilsson's “Sweethaven” and a knock-off Popeye who looks nothing like Robin Williams...

Happy Thanksgiving, Aqualad thread

Aquaman and the original Aqualad are swimming in the oceans. Aquaman turns to Garth and says “Well done, chum! Another adventure in which we learned the valuable lesson that family sucks and will try to kill you.”

Garth looks off into the distance

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

And the cis girlies with the hetslop aren't getting policed very much and subjected to waaaay less insane bad-faith attacks than queer writers do.

I'm reading cis romances lately to broaden my horizons
the things the cis girlies want
lmao
it will forever amuse me that we keep policing each other on the suitability of our desires when there’s a whole industry out there, a whole world of authors and publishers and readers and influencers, who are getting really insanely fucky with it and writing shit ten times as wild as anything I’ve seen in a book by a trans woman
“Oh some trans girls want to be muzzled and wired into a cockpit do they? Yawn. Prince Tarothian Rape-Muchly likes to [redacted for the sake of good taste]. Call me when your girls are [incredibly fucking redacted] and picking up the pieces after.”

Shen Comix

@shenanigansen.bsky.social

Panel 1: An old, grey haired, mostly bald version of Shen is laying in bed, in a residential room, with a nightstand with a lamp on top and wooden flooring. There's a man with similar hair to him laying his hand upon the old Shen's. Old Shen says "Son ... I can feel myself passing ..."

Panel 2: Closeup of the son's hand resting on old Shen's. Old Shen continues, "My ... final request ... is ..."

Panel 3: Closeup of old Shen, opening his eyes slightly. "Please make a 3D model of me ... a-and ... COUGH ... make it do gay little anime dances on a screen at the funeral."

Panel 4: Old Shen, resting contently in an open casket, and above him is a screen and two speakers, the screen showing him doing a gay little anime dance, and the speakers playing presumably the anime music he's dancing to. Two wake-goers are there looking at it.

Read the comic on Comics Kingdom: comicskingdom.com/rae-the-doe

Support the Patreon: patreon.com/raethedoe

Rae is sitting at a table with a white tablecloth on it. She looks happily at something off-screen.
RAE: LOTTIE, IF YOU WANT ME TO PAY THE CHECK, JUST SAY SO. YOU DON'T NEED THE THEATRICS.

We see the other side of the table. Lottie is sitting there, and she’s looking nervously behind her. Cybil is behind her, standing inside a giant wallet.
RAE: ALSO, YOUR WALLET IS HUGE SO I'M GETTING MIXED MESSAGES.
CYBIL: I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD'VE DONE THE BARREL AND SUSPENDERS!

The 1976 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. McLean Stevenson, hosting this year, doesn't realize his mic is still on and starts complaining on the air about the cue cards. His co-host Della Reese sarcastically responds, "well, THAT'S gonna cheer us up" and then the mics shut off. I love this so much.
