he/him, probably rat-adj, definitely furry-adjacent; mostly a reblog-what-i-like blog, although i do like getting into discussions, and maybe i'll eventually get around to making more oc

having literally my second original tumblr post hit 3500+ notes is so fucking funny to me. feels like waking up from a coma in the middle of a packed football stadium. where am i. who are you people. why are you clapping for me.

I think reddit accidentally trained you to be the perfect tumblr funnyman. Welcome to tumblr, rock lee, let us just take off those ankle weights for you.

Imma say 3 things and 2 of them are true and one is false. guess

  • I was a vegetarian for a few years in my teens
  • I once set a school record in gym class
  • I once watched the same movie 5 times in one week

It was high jump lol

Correct

The movie was Spider-Verse

Like 2 meters lmao I don't remember exactly but they said I was the best in the school. Wasn't a very big school tbf like 200 students or so

Is it weirder to have a taxidermjed deer head on your wall or a deer skull on your wall. And is this norm just or should it be the other way. Discuss

I think they're the same amount weird. The only thing is taxidermied deer head definitely implies you hunted it, whereas you could just find a skull in the woods (although the fact you're mounting it to the wall still suggests it's a trophy). So like, if you have a moral stance about hunting, whether it's taxidermied might alter its moral valence for you, but they're both only mildly weird.

Somebody mentioned in a tag on one of my posts the scene where Marco Animorphs is showering after antmageddon and he finds an ant stuck to his hip by the pincers where it presumably was trying to bite him in half when he was an ant and then it died from him becoming very big very fast and I feel like that scene, and the scene where Cassie finds a sliver of a sentient person’s flesh between her teeth while she’s flossing and then flosses until her gums bleed, really deserve recognition in the literary canon. Applegate deserves an award. There should be a TV Trope named after whatever the fuck that is. Like fridge horror but diegetic. Bathroom horror. Your bedtime bathroom routine as an opportunity for personal confrontation with the violent detritus of the dead which lingers in and on your body even after you have ostensibly stripped yourself of weapons and healed over all your wounds.

Applegate said I know that the adolescent experience involves a lot of being alone in a room (often but not always the bathroom) with your body and becoming aware of something incredibly alarming and, hear me out, what if that thing was either uncontrollable weirdly gruesome bodily metamorphosis or  physical fragments of things and people you’ve killed. And whoever she was in a pitch meeting with said sorry lady I wasn’t listening to you but you can just put whatever you want in these books, no one cares as long as you meet deadline

probably the hardest aspect of America for me to understand is “ranch” dressing

“The only evidence Kraftco had of what the term “ranch style” meant to the consumer of grocery products is obtained in February 1974 report of Qualitative Investigation of Usage and Attitudes Toward Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing, in which two focus group interviews in Los Angeles indicated consumer association with “ranch style” included larger quantity, like a dude ranch, or like cowboys. Prior to the project to compete with HVR, even Kraftco’s personnel had never heard of the term “ranch style.” PX 99; Tr. 341-342, 352, & 738; Beers Dep. 11; Powell Dep. 11; Swain Dep. 80-81.“

“salad dressing that tastes of cowboys”

I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.

"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy

God the entire idea of an "attention economy" is so fucking dystopian, but that's exactly what it is and it pains me

Did you guys know that the most recent version of sharks have fins that are kinda leg like and they like to walk up onto land?

no way i must have missed an update!

The Epaulette shark is only about 9 million years old as a species, making it the most recent branch in the shark family. And it is slowly but surely evolving into a land animal

LAND SHARK!

WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN HE COMES FOR YOU?!?!

the x files is funny because at the time it was “progressive” or whatever to have the ultra-rational, levelheaded character be a woman

but it’s also a show where all the fucked up alien shit actually is real, so she’s just constantly wrong about everything

What’s funny is how often they’re both wrong. Mulder will be like “the victims all had their livers scooped clean out this is obviously the aliens escalating from cattle mutilation” and Scully will be like “don’t be silly Mulder this is clearly just a serial killer who’s really good with surgical tools” and then it turns out the actual killer is an immortal sewer man who comes out ever quarterly century to feast on human liver.

I cannot stress enough that this is literally the plot of an actual episode
