I’m browsing comics in a geeky/nerdy store. A woman walks in and asks one of the guys at the counter:
Customer: “I need to get one of those weird-headed figures for my nephew.”
She points at the walls of Funko Pops.
Cashier: “Do you know which one he wants?”
Customer: “Star… something.”
Cashier: “Star… Wars? Star Trek?”
Customer: “Yes.”
Cashier: “Which one?”
Customer: “What’s the difference?”
Cashier: “How old is he?”
Customer: “Fourteen.”
Cashier: “Hmm, if he were younger, it might be Star Wars, but I know a lot of teens who are into Star Trek now. Does he like Darth Vader or Captain Picard?”
Customer: “I don’t know what any of those words mean.”
Cashier: “Is he into pew pew bang bang, or utopian space socialism?”
Customer: “What the h*** are you talking about?!”
I decide to help.
Me: “Ma’am, is your nephew the kind of kid who would do sports or join the debate team?”
Customer: “He’s… on the football team. Why is that relevant?”
Cashier & I: *Simultaneously.* “Star Wars.”
The cashier takes the customer to the ‘Star Wars’ section of the Funko Wall.
Cashier: “All of these are Star Wars.”
Customer: *Getting out a folded piece of paper.* “This is what he wants.”
The paper has ‘Ahsoka Tano’ written on it, and the cashier and I share a look of “couldn’t you have started with that?!”
The cashier got the Funko for her (she still didn’t know what she was buying, but she was happy to get out of there), and the cashier’s coworkers started mocking the cashier for how he tried to differentiate between the ‘Star’ franchises, resulting in a series of similar attempts by the rest of the workers after the customer had left:
Other Worker #1: “Ma’am, does your nephew like cowboys in space, or civil servants in space?”
Other Worker #2: “Ma’am, is he into space wizards or space accountants?”
Other Worker #3: “Ma’am, does he enjoy prophecies or performance reviews?”
And my attempt:
Me: “Ma’am, would he rather overthrow the government or work for it?”
Bobby Hutton was one of the founding members of the Black Panther Party. After being bombed with tear gas and trapped in a burning basement, he came out shirtless to prove he was unarmed and the police immediately shot him 12 times and he died. He was just 17 years old.
if u ever wanna bring back a character who died in canon for a fanfic but u can’t figure out how, do it the mexican telenovela way: the character didn’t die they were just very badly hurt, but a kind passerby rescued them and nursed them back to health in the countryside, but +
Remember that SpongeBob episode where King Neptune made thousands of patties at once using magic and they tasted like slop, whilst SpongeBob’s single patty tasted amazing because it was made with love and dedication?
