Back in early 2012, The Lorax was released in theaters. The Lorax was a children’s movie based on the Dr.Seuss book of the same name. It was a pretty mediocre movie in my opinion, but the movie itself wasn’t the reason a huge fandom sprung out of nowhere. No, it was because of this guy.
The Once-ler, a character from the film. A fandom came out of nowhere overnight because of this man right here. People collectively fell in love with him.
That alone isn’t the reason why the Once-ler fandom is remembered with fear, however. The fandom got….really intense really fast. The thing that makes the fandom stand out the most is the number of ask blogs produced.
THERE WERE SO FUCKING MANY. And the askblogs got weirder and weirder, and all in all it was an experience. I’m not afraid to admit that I was involved with the fandom early on. I left as soon as things got really weird.
The fandom burned out pretty quickly, but somewhere they still live on….
there are a lot of philosophers out there, and they all need to get pummeled. here’s the chances that you’ll come out on top in no particular order.
Socrates Who wins: Socrates Look, there is a -100% chance that Socrates lands a KO, but that’s because he doesn’t need to. you come in spoiling for a fight and by the end of it you’re seriously debating whether you can truly claim to have ownership of your arms. It makes you want to fight him more and then you just get deeper into the spiral. don’t bother.
Plato Who wins: Plato Sorry, but his name literally means ‘burly guy.’ you’re not going to win this one.
Aristotle Who wins: You Ok actually I don’t know who wins here but Aristotle needs to be beaten up so badly. Please punch him. I’ll help.
Diogenes: Who wins: Diogenes I get why you want to fight him. I want to fight him. Everyone wants to fight him. don’t do it tho. His entire life is a series of him asking people to fight him and he still lived to one million years old. Don’t do it.
Epicurus Who wins: Epicurus Jesus don’t fight Epicurus. dude does NOT care. your punches will be like water off a ducks back.
Kant Who wins: Nobody I forget the argument I was going to make because I just looked him up and he looks like a weird adult baby.
you’ll win this one but why do you want to fight an adult baby. Avoid.
Voltaire Who wins: You sidenote: is there a single picture where Voltaire doesn’t look punchable?
honestly. anyway, look at the guy, he’s like 20 pounds. punch him.
Hume Who wins: Hume ‘In 1731, he was afflicted with a ravenous appetite and palpitations of the heart. After eating well for a time, he went from being “tall, lean and raw-bon’d” to being “sturdy, robust [and] healthful-like”’ HE GOT ILL AND IT ONLY MADE HIM STRONGER. AVOID.
Hegel Who wins: ??? I honestly don’t know but ughhhhhhh he’s so smuuuuuug. Do it. Beat up Hegel.
Kierkegaard Who wins: You Like, the entire Concept of Anxiety. there is no way you could lose this fight. go for it.
Spinoza Who wins: You But you won’t feel good about it. All this scrawny man wants to do is grind up some lenses and maybe watch some spiders making a web if its a wild day. Don’t fight Spinoza.
Descartes Who wins: Descartes Guy was a mercenary. He like, did fencing. Don’t fight Descartes.
Nietzsche Who wins: You Use his moustache as a pulley and kick him in the chest. When you knock him out whisper ‘human, all too human….’, and laugh.
John Stuart Mill
Who wins: You JSM is the proto weird atheist guy who corners you and insists on going on and on about Richard Dawkins. You could take him easy. Fight John Stuart Mill.
Schopenhauer Who wins: Schopenhauer He believed that the world is fundamentally unsatisfied and in search of satisfaction?? This man is DYING to punch somebody. Don’t do it.
thinking about people i’m not friends with anymore like “thank GOD i got out of this mess before it got worse”
who has tried sugarcane before? I feel like this is something most of my american friends have never even heard of… and are missing out on…idk maybe i just havent seen it around enough.
i could finally take it out of the oven after literally one hour and a half
and i still have to wait for it to cool down b4 i can fill it with the leftover icing from yesterday’s cinnamon rolls. why didn’t i bake this cake sooner
Alluka’s adorably dopey happy smile （*´▽｀*）
cake has been in the oven for over an hour and the middle is still wet
that’s what i get for using a new recipe bc i never keep track of the chocolate cake recipes that work
EY FATTY BOOM BOOM
