I've noted before that my favorite punchline on Tumblr is "hang on, gotta look something up/okay that's funny."
Let me explain why:
It is a way to say "I don't get it" without blaming the joke or the teller.
It is a tacit admission of ignorance without shame or judgement.
It assumes responsibility for acquiring the knowledge the respondent doesn't already have.
It cues other people who Don't Get It to do the look-up themselves, allowing them to get that full impact of Getting It without derailing the post with explanations.
It gives subsequent readers, whether or not THEY got the joke, a little frisson of good feelings when they realize that someone else is now In On The Joke.
It not only makes the original joke funnier, it gets funnier the more often it's used.
Wall have ears. They also love gossip and having your attention 🫶✨
Over 6 months in the making (mostly bc procrastination) but I finally compiled my Kanto Gym Leader Magazine series. I love the idea of an in-universe style fashion publication where they all do interviews about their hobbies and stuff

[SONIC 3. Scene idea. Sketch]
I can see sonic trying to approach with dialogue and sharing his own story with shadow, as if to empathise with him.
But Shadow doesn't care, and even sees incongruities and hypocrisy in his actions, judging Sonic's affection for Longclaw.
"You lost her and did nothing? Did just accept it? No, we're not the same"
