My guy, if you’re looking for realism in a world based on Marvel or DC comics, you’re not looking in the right place. What part of a man from another planet who becomes superpowered under Earth’s sun or a man gaining spider powers from a radioactive spider bite screams “realism”?

For me, it’s the Legend of Zelda franchise; waaaay back when my now-husband and I were at a school dance, I mentioned that I was playing the latest Zelda game at the time (Phantom Hourglass), and he started geeking out; turned out he was a huge fan, and he and I bonded over the games ^^

Sadly, I don’t think this guy’s gonna get it. Or he’s being willfully ignorant -_-

Yep, got completely lost cuz the idiot couldn’t read a map properly, and then proceeded to ruin the lives of the natives of the island he ended up on

Pardon me, the schizo spec/psycho spec flag

Weirdly, my first thought is the color scheme for the schizophrenia flag is a bit too close to the asexual flag, but that’s just my autistic brain being nitpicky ^^;

Columbus didn't discover jack.

Actually yeah, he’s a freakin’ legend; still a murderous pirate, but weirdly more likeable than Columbus XD

One final note, but then I’ll shut up: I can’t tell if you were joking or if autocorrect went nuts here, but Columbus’ ships were the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María

Also, really? He deserves a holiday cuz boats? Might as well give Blackbeard his own holiday 🙄

I can certainly tell you why Columbus doesn’t deserve it. Or rather, the Smeghead from Cinematic Excrement can; go to 17:32 of this vid
