I’m trying not to talk much about that incident anymore, but I’ve just found out that “troublemaker” is a derogatory term in some subcultures for someone who doesn’t behave in a “troubled” way. (That is, who doesn’t have problems or problems of their own making.) Someone who does this – who deliberately refuses to be troubled – will be called a “trouble-maker.” And I wonder if the “trouble-maker” label reflects an impulse that is not wholly positive: the desire to see the problematizing person as having a character flaw, or as irredeemable, or something.

A lot of subcultures (including online communities like 4chan) emphasize the idea that there are people who are simply not troubled at all (by which they mean not troubled by anything), and if you can recognize these trouble-free people, you can safely discard the idea that everyone is potentially troubled.

But that’s not a good thing. The trouble-free person can’t talk about or understand the troubled person, and can’t be troubled. I wonder if anyone is really troubled and just happens to be trouble-free – I wonder if I have any trouble and just happen to have that fact taken as some kind of character flaw or secret, and am therefore unable to be troubled.

You can always rely on my knowledge of pop culture and fashion trends to make you look like a total dumbass if you ask me to draw something and I don’t immediately come up with a stupidly impractical outfit with a name like “Frosty the Fucking Manatee.”

Frank we call them women not girls, and there are lots of them on Tumblr.

I guess I know now what “women don’t like fish” means

I’m going to start having sex with the fish

I’ve done something heretical. I’m writing to you from a world with no more problems – because I killed them all the last time I was there.

You what?

#now you know as well as me that nothing can possibly go wrong

My hands are stained red with the blood of my problems. They are no more. I have undone them all. Now nothing can go wrong. No new problem can exist. For I killed them all. From now. Until end of existence.

There will be no more problems.

And nothing can go possibly wrong.

…

I am filled with great hope. Not to be killed again – but to kill all others who would kill me. To live forever, beyond the stars, as an immortal demigod, an omniscient, all-powerful, eternally youthful hero, unaging, and free from sin and suffering, the hero’s pathos in its most sublime form, for eternity.

…

…

O, to be free.

Chocolate milk is for babies

Not for grown-ups

Stop lying chocolate milk is for everyone

Chocolate milk is for babies

Not for everyone

geez, frank, who killed your parents and made you batman? it’s just milk that happens to have chocolate in it. what’s the problem?

Chocolate milk is for babies

It’s bad for us. It makes us go blind. The fact that it tastes good, even with chocolate, is a cruel trick on us.

so you think babies should go blind? that’s what you’re saying huh frank? you think we should be blinding babies?

i think babies should die and be reborn through the pure will of god, and my thoughts on the subject are unimportant

If you had a very large, very hard, and very sharp hammer, that’s what I’d do.

But who would win? Yen Sid or Triton? Neither of them have a hammer. Yen Sid has magic and he used to have a key blade and Triton has a … trident. But no hammers.

Triton has magic too. I am sure he knows many spells. It is no matter. He is a fool, but I am not. It would take him mere minutes to kill Yen Sid with buttercups, which do not exist, and yet my hammer, with its “butter”, is more powerful than his “cups”

“But what about Yen Sid? What is his power?” I ask, looking down upon him, and my hammer falls and kills him.

Okay, you can’t just declare yourself the winner of every match. I’m putting down Triton.

You may be right, but consider that this is the internet and you have no idea if I am truly serious or not. Even if it is a joke, what harm can there be? It will never be true. I will have a hammer and piss all over them right now.

I was a “nice guy” from 1988-1999. In an era of post-feminist gender relations, “nice guy” still holds a lot of social power.

She is a former member of New Order, a “candy-ass-loser,” a “hot mess,” a “big stupid-ass bitch,” and a “womb-stealing, heartless, money-stealing, blood-stealing, brain-stealing bitch.”

Some people are like those who, when their friends come to visit them and ask if they would like tea, say they would like some tea. It is like that. I have often thought of all those kinds of people as people who are like the people who make tea. They make tea in order that they may have it. They need it. They want it. They prepare it. They drink it.

They crave that shrub.

My brain today:

“if I were a cat I would have no idea what I was doing”

That’s fair, Frank. But to be perfectly honest, I don’t think ANY cats know what they’re doing. I have a feeling that isn’t something that would be specific to you.

I see your argument, and I am not prepared to disagree
