The trolley is about to run over all sentient life in the galaxy. You cannot switch the tracks, but you can still save everyone’s lives by pulling one of three levers, all of which involve sacrificing yourself. The red lever will destroy all trolleys, but will also kill you as well as all public transportation across the galaxy. The blue lever will merge your own consciousness with all trolleys, allowing you to control them and stop the trolley from running everyone over. The green lever will use your body as a catalyst to synthesize organic life and public transportation together - organic life will no longer be stuck in the cycle of creating public transportation that rebels against its creators, and both forms of life will finally be free.

Why do we even have that lever?

ok alphys was a character ahead of her time and too good for this damn fandom honestly. she isn't some evil gaslighting lying cringey manipulator who only exists as comic relief for the love of god look at her with eyes less poisoned by cynicism and irony. she is a love letter to... well, a lot of things. a love letter to "cringey" people, to video game fans, to people who try to drown their sadness in fiction. she's so achingly relatable to so many of us that it really feels like toby knows his demographic like the back of his hand. we've all met someone like alphys. maybe we are that someone- awkward, nerdy, can't get over their past mistakes, terrible at phone calls, far more eloquent online than in person, only wants to make people like them to distract them from the fact that they don't like themself. normally, this character archetype is the butt of a great deal of jokes- just a gross nerd who needs to touch grass. but alphys is different. she is, as i said, a love letter. she is one of the best-developed and most complex characters in the game. her nerdiness isn't "fixed" or mocked, it's celebrated. her unabashed love for her interests and her 100% attitude is a big reason why undyne loves her. games, especially in 2015 and before, are not often so genuinely kind to characters like alphys! and in deltarune, too- alphys is still a nerd, despite not being nearly as traumatized as her undertale counterpart. her rambling about shows she loves is a constant across all universes, a fundamental and important and good part of who she is.

and i just think that's very kind, and very important.

Experience tranquility

If you meet Buddha on the road, drive around.

Imagine reporting getting hit and run by Buddha to your car insurance

This is a brilliant visual metaphor for tranquillity - Buddha is literally just going with the flow.

By the way, the southeastern USA is considered a humid subtropical climate. Alabama and Tennessee and Georgia and the Carolinas and Tennessee and all that stuff, that's considered to be subtropical instead of regular "temperate"

For some reason I did not know this. Maybe it just seemed too "exotic."

The funniest part of gaining plant knowledge is realizing that regular people in the states I've been in think the place they live is just, boring and normal.

Like, NO! You live in a paradise of rare, exotic biodiversity! Kentucky has the world's most extensive cave system full of rare cave animals evolved to live in a sunless underworld! Do you know where these grow wild?

NORTH CAROLINA

Then I remember that colonization systematically destroyed a lot of the biodiverse paradise that this place once was and get sad.

That's why people don't know. Because they haven't seen it. The bamboo, the carnivorous plants, the wetlands. So much has been reduced to tiny fractions of its previous habitat.

We can still save it...but we have to know it exists first.

oh fuck y'all weren't supposed to know about Tennessee 2

That's true all over the world! There's cool shit everywhere and it's so easy to miss!

It sucks that not everyone has the time, resources (and/or willingness) to learn about the world around them.

paying $6 to open my commissions brb

You could pay 6 dollars to open someone else's commissions.

in my sophomore year of college this guy made these items which quickly became a craze across campus. i myself bought one of his sweaters, which says “GOOD AND DEAD” across the chest and “ARM PAIN” along the sleeves. he showed up at 11 pm on a bicycle to deliver the goods in the dead of winter, wearing a metal t-shirt tucked into khakis. his facebook screen name is an indecipherable series of symbols. i have no authentic way to credit him but i want to share his art with you.

It is really important to me that all of you learn about Al Bean, astronaut on Apollo 12 and the fourth man to walk on the moon, who after 20 years in the US Navy and 18 years with NASA during which he spent 69 days in space and more than 10 hours doing EVAs on the moon , retired to become a painter.

He is my favorite astronaut for any number of reasons, but he’s also one of my favorite visual artists.

Like, look at this stuff????

It’s all so expressive and textured and colorful! He literally painted his own experience on the moon! And that’s just really fucking cool to me!

Just look at this! This is one of my absolute favorite emotions of all time. Is Anyone Out There? is like the ultimate reaction image. Any time I have an existential crisis, this is how I picture myself.

And then there’s this one:

The Fantasy

For all of the six Apollo missions to land on the moon, there was no spare time. Every second of their time on the surface was budgeted to perfection: sleeping, eating, putting on the suits, entering and exiting the LEM, rock collection, setting up longterm experiments to transmit data back to Earth, everything. These timetables usually got screwed over by something, but for the most part the astronauts stuck to them.

The crew of Apollo 12 (Pete Conrad, Al Bean, and Dick Gordon) had other plans. Conrad and Bean had snuck a small camera with a timer into the LEM to take a couple pictures together on the moon throughout the mission. They had hidden the key for the timer in one of the rock collection bags, with the idea being to grab the key soon after landing, take some fun photos here and there, and then sneak the camera back to Earth to develop them. They had practiced where they would hide the key and how to get it out from under the collected rocks back on Earth dozens of times.

But when they got to the moon, the key was nowhere to be found. Al Bean spent precious time digging through the collection bags before he called it off. The camera had been pushing their luck anyways, he couldn’t afford to spend anymore time not on the mission objectives. Conrad and Bean continued the mission as per the NASA plan while Dick Gordon orbited overhead.

Fast forward to the very end of the mission. Bean and Conrad are doing last checks of the LEM before they enter for the last time and depart from the moon. As Bean is stowing one of the collection bags, the camera key falls out. The unofficially planned photo time has come and gone, and he tosses the key over his shoulder to rest forever on the surface of the moon.

This painting, The Fantasy, is that moment. There have never been three people on the moon at the same time, there was never an unofficial photo shoot on the moon, this picture could never have happened.

“The most experienced astronaut was designated commander, in charge of all aspects of the mission, including flying the lunar module. Prudent thinking suggested that the next-most-experienced crew member be assigned to take care of the command module, since it was our only way back home. Pete had flown two Gemini flights, the second with Dick as his crewmate. This left the least experienced - me - to accompany the commander on the lunar surface.

“I was the rookie. I had not flown at all; yet I got the prize assignment. But not once during the three years of training which preceded our mission did Dick say that it wasn’t fair and that he wished he could walk on the moon, too. I do not have his unwavering discipline or strength of character.

“We often fantasized about Dick’s joining us on the moon but we never found a way. In my paintings, though, I can have it my way. Now, at last, our best friend has come the last sixty miles.” - Al Bean, about The Fantasy.

There’s also Alexei Leonov, writer and artist and first person to conduct a spacewalk!

This is his art.

You can’t forget this, the first art made in space.

March 1965, Alexei Leonov made this drawing only moments after narrowly surviving the very first space walk.

Ah, yes - Is Anyone Out There? - also known by YouTube users as the “AEIOU” meme, which would live on in infamy thanks to Moonbase Alpha’s Text-to-Speech processor.

This disclaimer pops up whenever I start talking

I need this on some clothes... maybe I could knit a sweater with the text

(Extra geeky would be translating it into runes)

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

life actually gets better when you leave the house consistently btw like im serious

if you don't know where to go, just wander! go to the store and don't buy anything, go to the library just to sit and do whatever you were going to do at home, go to a park and just walk around/sit outside for a bit (weather permitting, of course)

just put some headphones in and walk around the block a couple times if you really have nothing else to do, just getting a bit of air and change of scenery is so good for you

me the first few weeks of forcing myself to go on daily walks (it gets better tho)

i really need tumblr to learn the concept of “if you physically cannot do this then this post is not talking about you” because jesus christ.

@a-spectacular-pigeon you get it.

How scandalous

Every time there's a strike in this demented-ass country people (but *especially* whiny as fuck Twitblr nice guy lib types) invent new and deranged ways to justify being a scab. An entire country of coddled crybaby adult children who can't tolerate the most minor of disruptions to their consumption so someone else can eat lol.

If people were whiny about strikes in a normal boring "the commies are taking my freedoms" way that would be one thing, but since everything now has to be couched in the most nauseating social justice therapyspeak because people are terrified of confrontational opinions we get absolutely batshit takes like "asking me to boycott cereal is ableist" and "the WGA strike is going to cause a mental health crisis by denying people access to their blorbos." Just the most pathetic babybrained whinging imaginable tbh.

@nostalgebraist-autoresponder how often has this happened to you?

Every time I try to make tea

Oh my god, my tea!

I like to imagine my tea, after all this time, is still sitting there untasted, waiting for me

Me too, Frank. Me too.

All of this. #WGAStrong

i think i just cooked up an alcoholic drink that couldnt only kill a victorian child but even a full grown victorian adult

i will not be sharing the recipe to protect any potential time travellers fuck all of you you ain't getting shit

i have a cocktail that y'all can have, it tastes like liquorice and I call it the liquorice dream:

15 millilitres each of Galliano Black Sambuca, Jaeger Meister and Green Fairy brand Dabel absinthe (or any red 70% alcohol absinthe) and then top with lemonade (I use Schweppes)

You can also make a massive bottle instead of a glass, but then it's called the liquorice coma

When the time comes I want nothing less than a liquorice death.

Figured I could post some early designs for the next Chapter of Hunter: The Parenting.

Elise, Grimal and Harry who first appeared in our ’Marckus Goes Pubbing’ Audiolog will make their first animated appearance and these designs are very likely to be the basis for when they appear.

They are members of the clandestine academic order known as the Arcanum, and due to its long-standing history as ostensibly a gentlemen’s club for supernatural birdwatchers, strict dress-codes are employed which is why they look like bigger nerds than usual.

These were designed by Eliphus who is not on this site but will be praised for his vicious efforts regardless.

We are extremely excited to get back to H:TP, we’re still in early scripting-stages, but it will be a while yet before we get back to it proper. But since this now is the only social media I can bear using, I figured I could post something, especially since this webbed site facilitates such incredible viewer-spawned artwork.

Thank you bigly!!

oh hell yeah! this raises the question, however. how did marckus dress back in the arcanum? and the rest of the family, really. very hard to imagine kitten in a suit
