Actually, the scariest part of Alien (1979) is how no one tried to understand the Xenomorph and just branded her a monster from the start. We can't chose the circumstances of our birth and it's the choices we make that define who we are.
She chose to eat people

#ehh?????? [noncommittal hand-wave]#like. little me was not a girl even if she didn’t know it#but she still used she/her and i thnk it’s weird to not refer to little me as she/her even knowing what i know now#also little me being a ‘weird little girl’ stereotype was relevant to the development of who i am today#so it’s definitely complicated#the funny thing is i’m actually a tad more feminine now than little me
HOOOOOOLY SHIT I FOUND IT
ok but PLEASE take the time to go listen to the other audios he’s done‚ he’s hilarious 😂
okay here's a survey question just for fun
feel free to write in about your original characters :)
#Lucent deserves to go apeshit#‘i don’t remember shit and my life has no direction. a cute girl asked me to help her do a fun investigation so i might as well’#fun investigation->the late duke is actually still alive and imprisoned by demons after he broke his end of a deal with them#he needs help to get rid of the demons not to save his own skin but to save the city and probably also the world#his ex wife is being held prisoner and in a coma do they can do whatever they want to the city#and oh also Lucent isn’t actually human anymore and hasn’t been for years; they don’t remember anything because they’re not the same person#also everything bad that’s happening can mostly be blamed on their roommates estranged father who is both a goat and also The Devil#Lucent deserves to apeshit AND get railed by their new bf and gf
Imagine being buried alive and then seeing this little guy with a backpack suddenly arrive
It gets better. The little backpack has a two-way radio.
So you’re trapped under rubble, and then a rat shows up. Flicks a switch on its little tumtum. And starts talking to you.
until you said that it never occurred to me that the woman in STEM was the scientist and not the rat. i was just like “hell yeah, this rat is a powerful woman pioneering lifesaving technologies as a rescue ranger”
why are we sleeping on this
I, personally, think it’s okay to put the freedom and safety of a rat that’s going to live five years on the line for a human life.
also, one, they are small burrowing animals, they will be fine moving through rubble, and two, their job is mostly self-directed, ie they can just run away if they decide they don’t like it.
FanFiction.net is not gone.
Right now it's a victim of DNS (Domain Name Service) spoofing. This means that a malicious party is trying to steal traffic from FFn by purchasing a very similar domain.
So if you want to read fanfiction and not see leaves, you have have to type out "www.fanfiction.net".
Please share so people stop panicking.
I am told this meme is two years old and Smaug has since slipped down to #19.
i like the term "gallows humor" because it always makes me think of someone getting sentenced to death and being like "i have GOT to be the funniest person at my public execution"
If not now, when?
Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?
Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.
All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)
But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.
But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.
I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?
It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.
Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.
Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)
I'm gonna make a post with all of the 'stick figure violence' adjacent images I have. if anyone knows any similar ones I'm missing PLEASE SEND ME THEM. I have an unhealthy obsession with them.
oh yeah here’s one I made a while back
have some more
my mind is like. a pinball game. the ball is my focus‚ and it keeps bouncing around on all my different oc projects

My grandfather, an alcoholic with hypotension, as he adds copious amounts of table salt to his pepperoni pizza: “I read somewhere on the Internet that I need more salt in my diet.”
Me: “Yeah? Did you also read about how you need to put a quartz egg up your butthole for your health?”
Grandfather: “No, I don’t think I read that.”
Me: “Well I did. It’s for virility or something.”
Dad: “Yeah. Abraham Lincoln said that.”
Me: “Actually it was Sun Tzu.”
Dad: “I get all my health advice from a fortune cookie I ate once. It told me that raw meat will improve my digestion.”
Me: “Yeah? Well I take all my psychological wellness advice from a weird dream I had once. A smoking caterpillar told me to drop acid.”
Dad: “I make all my lifestyle decisions by consulting a magic 8 ball. That’s why I stopped bathing.”
Me: “I make all my financial decisions based on hallucinations I have during the acid trips the dream caterpillar told me to take. That’s why I spent my life savings investing in NFTs of Beanie Babies.”
Dad: “I get all my happy marriage tips from consulting the entrails of migratory birds. That’s why I’m buying your mother rat poison as an anniversary gift.”
Me: “Oof. Too dark.”
Grandfather: “I think you guys are making fun of me.”
Me: “Well—”
Grandfather: “I received a message from God telling me so.”
