Everyone on earth has a moral imperative to do everything in their power to get Castiel Supernatural pregnant and liking or reblogging this post means you have agreed to do your part. Good luck soldier and Put A Baby In Him.
people doing fandom shit for a source material they've never/rarely interacted with are like supercatalysts for the proliferation of the worst, dumbest parts of fanon bc that is literally all they have to go off of. it's like a purebred dog lineage that gets progressively more frail and prone to serious health problems as the dogs get more aggressively inbred
Like if acting falls thru misha could make a killing being a discord kitten on the server. Is what I am saying.
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, how the fuck would you even enforce that?
"Oh want to use the bathroom? I'll just need you to produce an egg real quick".
Chicken only bathrooms. Not the animal rights move we wanted-
POV: you (human) (not a fetus) have illegally entered a public women's bathroom in Kansas
It's impossible to define woman in a way that excludes all trans women and doesn't exclude any cis women, but defining women in a way that excludes all human women trans or cis is a pretty amazing fuckup.
she knot my garlic till i get bread
i said this in a discord call yesterday and my friends were speculating that it could get upward of 2k notes so im really glad they had faith in me
You know what, I have some things to say about this.
This is one of the most dipshit fucking worst business decisions I’ve seen in years. And I’m including the shit that Warner Brothers Discovery did with cancelling active projects and removing media.
At least WBD had the excuse that they weren’t profitable and were using a legal loophole in order to get the business back in order.
Disney chose to make this move:
- during the first Writers Guild of America strike in almost 15 years
- right as the Screen Actors Guild are sending out ballots to vote for strike authorization literally today 18 May 2023 (because they’re starting contract negotiations)
- the Directors Guild of America is going to be starting negotiations soon, too
- during a time when unions are at some of the highest regards among the population in probably the last 70-80 years, and their highest support are in the key demographics that all these studios are trying to capture
- and that demographic is the most tech savvy of all of them. If they decide to learn how to pirate, they’ll catch on quick
- with no excuse for needing to downsize their available catalog like WBD had
This move looks 100% petty and mean and like they’re punishing the writers for going on strike and for the actors for even considering it.
These companies haven’t learned from the mistakes that the music industry made regarding piracy. That industry figured out if you have a few services that basically all popular music gets put on, then folks will pay $5-10 a month for the convenience of it all being in one place.
Right now, tv/movie streaming is so fractured, with increasing costs constantly, with content being removed, with corporate attitudes being almost combative towards their paying customers, they’re just going to drive more people away from their services.
"If you smile too much you'll get laugh lines!!!!!" what a horrible curse, to be afraid of having happiness permanently placed onto your body
really this calendar bit of 17776 like. one of the best openings of any scifi story i have read. feeling emotions about ut.
I think Joan of Arc's fursona would be a dog called Joan of Bark, but my partner thinks it would be a phoenix, which seems insensitive to me, but neither of us are furries, so I guess we don't really get a say either way.
I promise I’m not trying to be pretentious here. Jeanne d’Arc’s last name is d’Arc. An overly-literal translator insisted it stood for “of Arc”, and that’s why we know her as Joan of Arc. At the time, she was more commonly known as “Jeanne la Pucelle”, meaning “Joan the Maiden” or “Joan the Virgin”.
anyways since her main attack strategy was “hit them until they stop moving” I think she’d be a gorilla.
*taking notes* What else do you know about this beautiful world?
How do cards gain meaning in an occult sense? Like, both tarot and french-suited playing cards started as game pieces, but they have gained an understood meaning. Is it just someone whips up an organized table of connected ideas or is each card interpreted from a certain framework?
Oh good question!
Many things that we now consider staples of western magic are ideas that have been added to over generations by several layers of thinkers. Tarot Divination specifically is an excellent example of this!
In 1770, A french printmaker and occultist going by Etteilla published a book about how to do cartomancy with a 32-card Piquet deck. He writes down some simple but strict associations for the cards, and makes what is probably the first mention of reversals in carotmancy. He said that he learned the system "from an Italian." Now, its unclear how much of the system is his own invention, people have been doing cartomancy for as long as there's been cards, but the text presents a larval, bare-bones version of the cartomancy methods we know and love today.
Its 1780-ish. The Rosetta stone hasn't been discovered yet. Occult-inclined Europeans are obsessed with Egypt. That's where our boy Trismegistus is from! There's a concept in Egyptian mythology called The Book of Thoth, a mythical book of spells penned by the God of Knowledge himself. This was the Holy Grail for European Occult Egpytaboos.
In 1781, Antoine Court de Gébelin claimed that Tarot cards were the "original book of Thoth," Saying that Tarot cards had been used by ancient Egyptian priests for their own magical ceremonies, and that their designs contained ancient mystical secrets. This is 100% not true, but he writes a pretty fun pseudohistory for Tarot that involves Romani people bringing the decks to Europe through the Levant where they then taught its esoteric secrets to several Popes.
Then in 1783, Ettellia responded with another book. Manière de se récréer avec le jeu de cartes nommées tarots ("Way to recreate yourself with the deck of cards called tarots") Where Ettellia basically claims "uhm actually I knew about tarot divination way before Court de Gebelin published that big ass book. But anyway here's an interpretation of Tarot symbology that includes multiple references to Egyptian, Zoroastrian, and Greek mythology." But the smartest thing he did was include spread methods that involved Thoth and Numerology. Napoleonic Occultists fucking loved Thoth and numerology.
In 1788, he formed a little magical society for the express purpose of discussing and workshopping ideas for Tarot divination. In 1789, he made a TRULY smart decision, and published a Tarot deck that was Specifically For Magic, and that basically cemented Tarots place in magical history.
Occultists just kept iterating! Someone would speculate "maybe the suits correspond to the elements" and people went "yeah, they correspond to the elements! That makes this tool even more fun and interesting to use!" Then people go "What if the suits and the elements also correspond to parts of the Self?" and people went "Sure they do! That makes this tool even more interesting!"
But its also not just one thread. Eventually you get the Golden Dawn saying "The Major Arcana correspond to the nodes and paths on our version of the Quabbalistic Sefirot, you know, the hermetic version with a Q." and some occultists responded "Idk about that! Love what you've done with the color symbology though!"
The development of magical ideas is an iterative process. It is people whipping up a table of correspondences, but that table needs a mythology to keep it together. Originally, the mythology that gave tarot "power" was its Egyptian pseudohistory, but these days its the fact that occultists have been iterating on and fine-tuning this system for hundreds of years.
Humans don't think in tables of information, they think in stories. The cool thing about stories is that they're flexible. If magic is anything, its learning how to engineer stories to make the tables of information more effective.

historians have been studying the four humors (funny, not so funny, so funny it's not funny, so not funny it's funny) in an attempt to understand old as fuck people better
Diagram of an Old As Fuck Guy, Paracelsus, 1534
I had a dream that the alt-right manosphere people stopped liking Andrew Tate, but the guy they replaced him with was Mr. Bean? Like Rowan Atkinson was suddenly the model of masculinity that all these dudes were idolizing and I'm not sure if he was even aware of it.
"Beanposting" was like, the new meme and people spent a lot of time using AI programs to make images of jacked chad Mr. Bean.
I don't know exactly how, but this was related to something called "The Darkness." Like, if you beanposted too much, it would trigger The Darkness, but The Darkness could also happen randomly.
The Darkness was like, this thing that would happen as you were trying to sleep. This black fog would completely envelop you, to the point where you weren't able to see anything. Once that happened, you'd have the distinct feeling that you had been transported somewhere else, or like, another place had been transported around you.
At that point, you HAD to keep your eyes closed. If you didn't, you'd see a blue-green Greek letter delta appear in the air. It would give off just enough light to barely give the impression that there was someone holding the delta, like it was hovering above their hand.
I woke up before I could learn what happened if you saw the delta.
so I think maybe I lost the forest for the trees here, but I'm high and this is a 250mg (d8) situation here
anyways this is what I imagine those images would look like
