I feel like Samus Aran, when she’s not on a mission, would have a Tony Hawk type experience with people not recognizing her without her armor. Like she’d get carded buying alcohol or something and the cashier would go “Samus Aran? Ha, it’s spelled just like the bounty hunter too. I wonder what he’s up to now?”

She would definitely take advantage of this when she goes to lesbian bars and stuff. She’d just tell the cute alien girls her name is Sammy because if they knew she was the great Samus Aran they’d expect her to top

I originally put a shortened version of this in the tags but I feel it’s worth adding. Imagine being the alien girl at a lesbian bar on a federation space station. You meets this cute tall human girl who calls herself Sammy and you hit it off and share some drinks and eventually Sammy invites her back to her place. Her place is a space ship that you swear looks familiar but you can’t remember where you’ve seen it. Anyway you disregard it and spend the night fucking the brains out of this buff blonde tgirl. Then in the morning when you go to leave you make a wrong turn and catch a glimpse of the power armor belonging to the bounty hunter known across the galaxy. Imagine the realization that this “Sammy” girl you plowed into the mattress last night is singhandedly responsible for saving the universe multiple times

crushes ❤️💔

OH YEAH NOTE: TJ's gender is completely ambiguous but he likes masculine terms :3

“are you a boy or a girl?”

“well i’m actually multiclassing so i have levels in both”

She

it should be 100% legal to go in abandoned buildings. like nobody is using it for anything why can't i go in

Isn't this how you get murdered?

no. it's how you get poisoned by mold or crushed by broken floorboards or whatever but there aren't murderers just hanging out in every abandoned building like cockroaches

Oh man i cant wait to murder people. Let me go into a place that is defined by having no people inside to do so

I stopped listening to Re: Dracula's bonus episodes after they had someone on who started talking about Lucy being punished for her sexuality. The team made that podcast specifically to profit off of Dracula Daily's popularity and yet apparently missed how a lot of the Dracula Daily discussion was people being mad about pop culture and academia misinterpreting Lucy in exactly that way.

The thing that made me angriest about that episode was that they interpreted Lucy’s “why can’t a woman have three husbands?” line as Excessive Transgressive Sexuality when it was so clearly in the context of wanting to make all of her suitors happy and not wanting to hurt any of their feelings. It wasn’t even indicated that she wanted that, because she expressed over and over how sorry she was that she wasn’t in love with them, and only loved Arthur! I know we make jokes about the polycule but come ON! It’s such a bad faith reading of Lucy’s character, which we all collectively realized and discussed in-depth during Dracula Daily last year!

We need like “unclench your jaw” posts but for eye strain. Like

Go look at something 20ft away for 20 seconds.

take off your glasses if you wear them for 20 seconds

Recommended by my optometrist

Look at something 20 feet away, then 10, then 5, then one, then if you can your nose.

Repeat twice, then again without glasses.

Face forward look out of the corner of your eye. As far as you can look. Slowly move to the other corner. Repeat twice.

Look down as far as you can. Slowly look up. Repeat twice.

Roll eyes twice.

Close eyes for five minutes.

I do this every day usually at my halfway point. My migraines went away. My vision go better. Honestly stretching my eyes as she put it feels great too.

ARE YOU A BONE OR BLOOD PERSON.

ARE YOU A VOID OR ABYSS PERSON.

ARE YOU A ROT OR DUST PERSON.

tumblr glitched and decided to display this post with a slight tremor and i thought i was hallucinating but i managed to record it

she's got a big smile!

[image id: photograph of a large felted figure. she is a somewhat canid creature, with spindly limbs, digitigrade legs, long claws, a large lion’s tail and purple-black fur. she is eyeless, and her fanged mouth extends all the way down to her abdomen, leaving her peeled in two. her dull magenta toned mouth is complete with a long sharp tongue, saber canines, a uvula and a hard palate all the way down. she is an opposable figure, and each photo depicts her in a slightly different posture, with her mouth open or closed to various degrees and her stance calmer or more agitated in each photo. /end id]

This is wonderful. I love this so much. Conjoined turtles, having a long happy life and being taken care of is wonderful.

the reason dating men sucks nowadays is because they're all too scared of being made a "sucker" or something by women, when the reality is that we are all suckers in this game called life. buy that pretty girl some drinks or venmo that hot woman $20. every experience adds to the tapestry of our lives. existence can be a dream and we love to have fun

"what if i pay for this woman's drink but then she tells me she has a boyfriend" did you bring joy into the world? did you make others smile? will you remember this as an unfinished transaction or will you remember the time you made a stranger's life a little easier

no but seriously I still get chills thinking about turning off my headlamp in the cave and The Hand That I Did Not Actually See, and it’s been twelve years since it happened

it’s such an unreal experience

like

you turn off your light in a cave and wave your hand in front of your face

and

you can see this shadowy thing moving in the black space where your hand is

it looks like the same shadowy thing you would see in your room at night if you waved your hand in front of your face, it’s there and vaguely hand-shaped, and your brain recognizes it as your hand because your brain is aware of where your hand is and what it is doing

But You Are Not Seeing Anything

Inside a cave, there is No Light. No matter how far your pupils spread, there is no light for them to draw in, no light to put an image on your retina.

But your brain just Fucking Assumes that because it knows where your hand is and what it is doing, clearly it can see it.

So it creates a shadowy thing for your eyes to be seeing.

Brain is like “there’s a hand there”

Eyes are like “yup sure thing brain I can totally see it”

Brain is like “nice”

but there is no hand, you cannot see the hand, you are seeing a literal actual hallucination in the cave because your brain thinks it knows best

Caves are awesome, but also terrifying. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

we once went spelunking, and a our guide said that once he was in a cave with a stream, so he could hear running water, and his brain was like ‘oh, running water? that means there must be Ducks out there’. and he saw like…low light shadows of ducks. that his brain just Put There.

As a cave guide: we call that ‘cave blindness’! True darkness absolutely wigs your brain out - we’re such visual creatures that after a while our brain throws a hissy after not seeing anything. Sensory deprivation is a very real kind of torture. We have a huge, deep cave system at work and there are a lot of places where you’re hundreds of meters in solid rock in this tiny, dark, still space.

I like to turn my torch off, sit down with my back against the wall,  and wait to see how long it takes before I start seeing things or feeling like the ground is moving, or hearing things. Because I know I’m not - I’m in complete darkness, utter silence, sitting in rock that hasn’t moved in hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Proof that brains are Ridiculous and over-react to a lot of stuff!

I want to add to this that people who lose their hearing as adults have reported hearing music “being played loudly from somewhere”, and other auditory hallucinations, bc the brain will just panic and put your brain’s ipod on *fucking shuffle* if it’s not getting any input
