Where Am I?

here are some things I just heard:

some things I heard myself:

literally every minor sound from the street carries up to us since it’s so narrow, last year this happened:

A Star Trek idea: A comedy sitcom where instead of a Vulcan on a mostly human ship it is a human on a mostly Vulcan ship

All the Vulcans are fiercely protective of the ‘fragile, illogical, prone-to-danger, smart, reckless little human’.

To make the human feel more accepted (as it is only logical) the Vulcans try to include aspects of terran culture in the ship’s day-to-day life, failing spectacularly at it.

The human loves them even more for it.

They’ll get better at celebrating the human’s birthday next year. It’s the thought that counts.

@jvlianbashir​ THAT’S A GOOD END TO THAT EPISODE THOUGH… the vulcans put together awful, bland decorations. they make a cake because it’s of “significant importance”. they go through the process of putting together this party and Studying this Human Ritual and the entire episode is setting up to what you KNOW will be a horrible result. they do a bad job!! then when the human’s birthday comes, and they reveal the off-the-mark, underwhelming looking birthday bash, the human just. starts crying. because they had no idea their crew would go through all this trouble to celebrate their birthday, and even put up DECORATIONS, or make a CAKE, and there’s a birthday card with extremely polite impersonal messages written and a hundred perfectly tidy signatures. and the vulcans are just standing around like “you appear upset. the Birthday Party was unsatisfactory”.

The human opens twenty presents wrapped in identical, perfectly creased beige paper. They’re all extra batteries or charging cables for the human’s communicator because they went planetside ONE TIME and lost communications.

The human hugs the nearest four vulcans.

They DO care.

tragedies at baby time

Okay, I looked it up and cats do this when they don’t want you to look at their babies. That honestly makes this comic funnier

“Come! Look at my babies! …NO MORE LOOK AT BABIES FOR YOU!”

A really easy way to make your dnd settings feel more complex and more lived in is to think of cultures rather than races. While it’s totally cool to have a nation of dwarves who mine and whatnot it can also be cool to approach things a different way and go this is a nation that lives in the mountains, without thinking of ancestries like draconian or dwarvish or human, what might a mountain dwelling people do for work? What kind of traditions might they have? What sort of virtues does the nation value?

By allowing your settings to be multicultural and not following the “this race lives here and this race lives here” that can often plague fantasy you can give yourself a lot of opportunities to be inspired and to step away from the trappings of classic fantasy.

It was kind of interesting to me that out of all the people in our training group, the ones that were the quickest to form social bonds were the people from way out in the country and the city people just kind of quietly kept to themselves.

But I was definitely accepted as one of the bumpkins.

Oh! This is actually an example of Rural vs Urban manners.

In rural/less densely populated areas, the polite thing is to offer people your time and social energy which is why country people will talk your ear off at the slightest acquaintence- it's kind of lonely when you have to make an effort to see people, so you Make An Effort (TM)

In Urban/Densely populated areas, you're meeting people whether you want to or not, because you are physically close to each other constantly. So the Polite Thing there is to kind of ignore other people and keep strictly to business, so you're not imposing upon thier (probably already drained) soical spoons.

The city folks will warm right up to you once they get to know you well enough to know that talking to you won't piss you off.

I’m just going to call it Valravne armour

harry made an important discovery last night

Part 1 of 2

I said I would clean it up, didn’t I? Forbidden Hospital Scene from AA:TaT

Bowser Jr. loves Waffle House Bakery! Whenever he and his father visit Mushroom Kingdom they’re always sure to stop by and grab some of their very tasty treats. Jr really likes the tall green guy too, Luigi; he’s super nice and his mustache is cool and he always tells the best stories.

But Jr. isn’t naïve. He’s been noticing how weirdly his ba acts around green man. Red faced, stumb-ly words, shy. His ba is not shy. Maybe Bowser likes green man too?

But like… likes likes him. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

I hope ya’ll like this small and sweet comic! :)

love u guys

sex-positive asexuals are people who are willing to have sex.

sex-repulsed asexuals are people who want nothing to do with sex.

sex-neutral asexuals are people who are indifferent about sex.

all types of asexuals do not experience sexual attraction, but that does not define their sex life, nor does it mean their sexuality is invalid.

important important important

An asexual’s body is perfectly functional. It reacts to touch just like anyone else’s, meaning, an asexual will experience physical arousal and likely feel appropriate pleasure from sex when touched in a way that feels good to them personally. Asexuality isn’t the lack of sexual functions, it’s the lack of sexual attraction only, and sex can be present without specific attraction. For example, a sex positive asexual might have a what appears to be a quite active sex life for other reasons than attraction solely; emotional bonding, physical pleasure, relaxation and fun are just some reasons to like sex, even with the “kicker” being gone from the act.

The lack of sexual attraction doesn’t automatically mean a partner is undesirable to an ace - it just means they aren’t specifically attractive in that certain way. Other motivations may take over, or they may not.

Wow, thank you for this! Posts like these are really helping me to understand asexuality a lot more, and I am super appreciative of that.

A FRICKING MEN

We’re on our own side.

We just knew.

As a reminder, this is what she looks like:

“I was worried how my older male cat would react to the new female kitten. This is their first night together:”

He really asked “is somebody going to parent this little thing?” and didn’t wait for an answer

“You are filthy, new child. Let me show you the ways of our people.”

Dad mode engaged

super late but here’s a very specific ship dynamic i’ve been obssessed with recently

I am completely enamored with the space cowboy dad and his force-sensitive green baby

wherever I go, he goes

when we try to befriend cats we mimic their meows and get down on the ground to their level and try to gently coax them to interact with us right

that horrifying entity mimicking human noises at us maybe just thinks we’re cool and wants to pet us?

had to draw it

a few people pointed out that they probably wouldn’t understand what they were saying and just mimicking whatever sounds they happen to hear so I wanted to add this

If a Being approached me singing the ORiellys auto parts jingle I would simply reply in kind
