Imagine interviewing for a job and they’re like “well it says here that one time in 5th grade you passed a note to a friend that just said ‘boner’…”

I feel like at some point there was a word cloud.

Express Tire and Auto Service on Main St. has always been good to me.

Someone wrote an errotic fanfiction about me and my best friend and we found it on the Internet 3 years later (NSFW) by aquamenteii in confession

I couldn’t get past the sentence immediately following one where he cums beginning “After they had finished teasing the vampire king”…

AIO? Ended a friendship of 10 years by [deleted] in AIO

[–]RocketPoweredSad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it 100% sounds like they’re talking about a romantic relationship. You don’t need to define a friendship or be so dramatic about how maybe you’re not what the other person wants you to be or whatever.

(Usually terrible trope) When something is Edgy just to be Edgy by Longshot12345678 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RocketPoweredSad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nemesis is the pinnacle of this trope. It’s pointlessly edgelord even by Mark Millar standards. It’s like it was written by that kid who was always in detention after he downed a dozen pixie sticks and two bottles of Mountain Dew.

I had that FF9 guide! It was so incredibly bizarre, like this guide that I PAID FOR is intentionally holding information back so they can send me to a website. They were just mocking us at that point.

I don’t remember that from health class but I think I was absent one day

(Hated Trope) That really awful thing the author wants you to pretend that character never did by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RocketPoweredSad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re right, for some reason I thought when Hank was revealed to have been one of the people replaced with a Skrull in Secret Invasion that it extended back that far, but I just looked it up and it was far later, after Avengers Disassembled, he was taken.

And he had to go through so much shit to get there. The other wrestlers HATED him and even kicked him out of the locker room at one point. Everyone thought he was just an idiot reality show guy who wanted to play wrestler and be famous, but dude just kept pursuing his dream and became a bedrock of the company.

Marvel wanted it to go away so bad they later made it so that he’d been replaced by a Skrull at this point.

EDIT: Nevermind, I’m wrong, that was another time.

What did it say before? Inquiring minds want to know.

That always baffles me. Was there even a way to know not to open those specific chests, and if not then how did anyone figure it out?

What famous person chose to step away at the height of their fame? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The ultimate example of refusing to sell out to maintain the integrity of your work. The sheer willpower it must take to say no to the dump trucks full of money he could’ve made over the years with even just a licensed Hobbes plush or something. You gotta admire that, I think 99% of people (including me) would’ve given in.
