Tumblr user: are cats solar powered?? why are they always trying to lie in the sun

[later]
That last paragraph was literally supposed to be the most ridiculous hypothetical example I could think of, and people are messaging me to say “his name was Metatron, not Phil”. I can’t even make fun of this show.

Archie Comics drama: oh no! archie signed up for a beach dance contest with veronica on the same day he said he’d help betty with a shoe drive for kids! but mr. lodge says if he doesn’t do the dance contest he can’t have a summer job and archie needs that money to pay reggie back!

"Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."

"He may have never even picked up a controller in his life, but he nailed it."'

Eggman (Voiced by Alfred): It would seem that you bitches have come to a standstill in Tarzan's forest. You have thirteen seconds before the island fucking explodes, you Hot Topic wannabe and you blue gumball son of a bitch. You have done nothing but destroy my life, I hope you both die.
(...)
Ryan: Alfred, I hope you know that is what actually happens in the story.
Penny: That is actually- like he literally was like-
Alfred: Wait, dead seriously? Seriously?
Penny and Ryan: He literally says this island will explode-
[Prison Island starts exploding]
Alfred: OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW! Oh my god, I didn't know!

Eggman: (as the Biolizard appears) You shall revel in nothing but destruction. Shadow could've been a true beast, and NOW YOU SHALL DIE!
Ryan: That's actually the story.
[Beat]
Alfred: Is it?

[Corey's Player Character is sucked through a window into a Bottomless Pit that runs through Cloud City]

[EDIT:] "Which flow is the Calamity in?" "I don't know." That was uncomfortably prescient. I tried to just avoid using my headcanon in case I got proven wrong and I ended up guessing Nintendo's official stance on it. Good lady.

Okay, so about twenty years ago, I designed this character, Perry the Platypus. And I colored him a teal-green 'cause I just thought it looked cool, but since then I've had to answer this question a lot: "So, why is he green?" I just thought it looked cool. "You know, platypuses aren't green." And kids' heads aren't triangles. What-what's your point? But guess what just happened! This is a real thing that just happened! They just discovered that platypuses have a special kind of bioluminescence, and in ultraviolet light, they glow green. I called it! I called it! [in Doofenshmirtz voice] Ah, Perry the Platypus, why are you green again? Is it because Dan was decades ahead of the scientific community?
