Wow, Sims 4 is looking WAY more realistic than when I played it last week... lol

What to do if You Don’t Like an Author’s Fanfic or Take on a Trope:

Bonus tip If you’re considering sending the author unsolicited messages about how much you disliked their fic, consider one of the following options instead:

your icon punches you in the face do you survive

I mean...he does it every night just about while I'm trying to sleep. So far, yes, I survive. Lol

tell me

Lights off, fan running, cold room, warm blanket, pillow between my knees. ;)

Happy Juneteenth Tumblr✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

[discovered]

[immediately mocked by scientists]

me as a discovery

How can you not include the video?

@lordcephalopod

THEY’RE ROASTING HIM

Nawww, I’m sure the scientists adore this little guy <3

thank you @agentliz

The Ocean created possibly the cutest creature ever

If you listen to the entire video, they definitely make some cooing noises, so I guarantee that the art is accurate if they could actually touch it.

Fucking superb you funky little cuddle fish

Do all sea explorations sound like the scientists are just on discord?

PhD group chat

So cute! And weird, but I agree the scientists sounded like they adored him.

I wonder how long my parents would ban me from the house for if I did this to our dog

It looks like a Dr Seuss character! Lol

I said watching the trilogy, but I strongly suspect I either read or watched the animated Hobbit as a kid, because I already knew that story when I read it (again?) as an adult.

Black cats are lucky. (via leahweissmuller)

MAN [IN THICK ACCENT]: Black cat bring good luck.  Not bad luck.  I have black cat - See, him face - And I am not dead today: Good luck!

“See him face”

I sure fucking do see him face

Him face

See Him Face Saturday

Aw, I love him face! Lol

Are we not going to talk about the fact that Stiles would have so many scars?

In no particular order… he was ‘bitten’ by the lampray mouth on Donovan’s hand and that left one hell of a mark, 

he’s crashed his car on the way to stop his dad, Chris and Melissa being buried alive, and he’s had his car flipped and his body left hanging out a shattered window,

he’s been beaten, abducted, bruised, and everything in between,

he’s been shot at least once, 

not to mention whatever the heck did or didn’t happened to him while the Nogitsune was in control,

he had the scarring/mark from the lichen that they used to keep the Nogitsune at bay. Oh, and he had a huge shard of glass embedded in his chest!

🤔 ideals formulating. Specifically about him being self conscious about he scar from Donovan, since he feels guilt about that death in particular, so he’d feel same when it’s visiable.

Maybe he used to love going to the beach, swimming in the pool. Or he played basketball with Isaac and Scott until he was hot and sweeting so much he pulled his shirt off. He enjoyed the feeling of sun on his bare skin. Scott’s looked at him differently since he told him, he’ll never admit it but that the reason he left Beacon Hills. He didn’t think Scott trusted him anymore. Because of Donovan.

Maybe there’s faded marks from the lichen spidering from his neck down. A reminder of the thing that controlled him. It terrifies him. He buys all brand new shirts, no stretched out collars. He keeps a sweatshirt near, one he can hid in; tugging it against his neck or pulling the hood up.

Maybe there’s scars on his wrist, once no one know of. Ones from right after the nogitsune; when there was a moment of panic and he thought it was still in control. When he didn’t realize he was even awake. The sharp bite of the razor and the metallic scent of blood rip him out of his haze. And he’s there, present and in the moment. But he didn’t mean to do it, he doesn’t want to leave his dad.

All the scars a sign of his short comings; his weakness. He’s only human, humans scar. A werewolf came almost escape the pain of the past, it leaves no physical reminders. They can look at themselves in the mirror with out seeing a mark and getting thrown back into the moment the received it.

Stiles is ashamed of his scars; Derek think that mean that he’s a survivor. A fighter. They’re something he should be proud of, because they mean he’s overcome unbeatable odds; he’s faced death more times than anyone should and he’s come out on top. The scar mean he’s here, he’s alive. And Derek is thankful for them.

I love this. ❤️

The world's longest-running lab experiment

The Pitch Drop Experiment

The experiment demonstrates the fluidity and high viscosity of pitch, a derivative of tar that is the world's thickest known fluid and was once used for waterproofing boats.

Thomas Parnell, UQ's first Professor of Physics, created the experiment in 1927 to illustrate that everyday materials can exhibit quite surprising properties.

At room temperature pitch feels solid - even brittle - and can easily be shattered with a hammer. But, in fact, at room temperature the substance - which is 100 billion times more viscous than water - is actually fluid.

In 1927 Professor Parnell heated a sample of pitch and poured it into a glass funnel with a sealed stem. He allowed the pitch to cool and settle for three years, and then in 1930 he cut the funnel's stem.

Since then, the pitch has slowly dripped out of the funnel - so slowly that it took eight years for the first drop to fall, and more than 40 years for another five to follow.

Now, 87 years after the funnel was cut, only nine drops have fallen - the last drop fell in April 2014 and we expect the next one to fall sometime in the 2020s.

The experiment was set up as a demonstration and is not kept under special environmental conditions - it's kept in a display cabinet - so the rate of flow of the pitch varies with seasonal changes in temperature.

The late Professor John Mainstone became the experiment's second custodian in 1961. He looked after the experiment for 52 years but, like his predecessor Professor Parnell, he passed away before seeing a drop fall.

In the 86 years that the pitch has been dripping, various glitches have prevented anyone from seeing a drop fall.

AKFJEKJD my god

a watched pot never boils, and a watched pitch says “fuck you”

This is so cool!

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER | S4E10: Hush

I LOVE basically any scene featuring Giles and Spike snarking at each other. When they assumed they were father and son in Tabula Rasa, I basically died. Lol

@important-animal-images

Reads a fanfic: that was good, I'll leave a kudos

AO3: You have already left kudos here

Me:

THIS...all the time!

I can’t stop laughing at Harry running the fuck away, the boy who lived ladies and gentlemen.

….You realize, of course, that Hermione Granger lit a teacher on fire when she was eleven, and kept a person alive in a jar for a year when she was fourteen, and studies dark and forbidden magics for kicks, and is one of the brightest and strongest witches of her era. If she came at me, even wandless, I would aparate to Neptune to get away from her.

Hermione Granger also: 

in conclusion: Voldemort wishes he could be as awesome as Hermione, that’s why he wants to kill her so bad. 

Can we rehave this series with hermione as the protagonist. 

Hermione Granger and “That Time I Used the Power of Research and Deductive Reasoning to Make Sure Harry Didn’t Die”

Hermione Granger and “That time I figured shit out and literally ended up petrified for the cause and it took my friends weeks to figure out that I had the research on me”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I Was a Time Lord”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I Realized I was Hot and Smart and Saved Harry’s Ass with Research. Again. All the Time. Really, He Would Have Died Without Me.” 

Hermione Granger and “That time Harry was too emo to actually do shit so I did shit in his name because I am the power behind the throne clearly also PS fought evil deatheaters and won”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I told Harry about the Dangers of Copying off Somebody’s else’s work that wasn’t mine and OH LOOK I WAS RIGHT”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I let Harry Decide Where to Go and What To do and we ended up wandering the forests of dean for like 5 months before saving his ass at Hogwarts” 

Honestly, Hermione IS far more formidable than Voldemort and his temper tantrums. Just ask Rita... lol

god the raw fucking power of spuffy developing in alternate directions though. she accepts her darkness, he accepts his light…. they meet in the middle and fall in love and………. Insane!!! it’s INSANE!!!!!!!

Spuffy FOREVER!

I don’t know if this is cursed information for anyone else, but the Most Iconic Captain Kirk shirt from TOS in enclosed with velcro
