Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
theyre about to put L’s coffin in the ground when light drives up 45 minutes late in a red convertable and accidentally drives his corner wheel into the ditch because he had two glasses of wine before leaving
that’s called a DUI and is actually illegal haha
you’re right light would never do anything illegal
Y'all can keep at it with that “Romeo and Juliet fell in love in five days how immature” shiz but Macbeth went from no murder to yes murder in like one afternoon and I feel like one of those is a significantly bigger problem than the other
In his defense his wife triple dog dared him and called him a pussy

people when mental illness actually makes you unpalatable and disappointing instead of just making you quirky online
I keep seeing fic with words censored in the body of the fic like so: c*nt, f*gg*t, q-slur (seriously, come on), r*pe, *nc*st. I even saw a fic where someone was described as “sitting next to his unalived body” which was so absurd it made me laugh.
I’ve seen this trend in tags as well, which would be ACTIVELY FUCKING DANGEROUS if AO3 tag wranglers weren’t literal, actual angels who make sure that “rape” and “r*pe” (and all such transpositions) are treated like the same tag.
AO3 isn’t TikTok. Tag accurately and completely for your fic themes so people can search AND filter. Use the correct words in your fic content so people who use blacklist extensions can actually benefit from the tools that protect them.
If you don’t feel comfortable using a word without censoring it, then don’t use that word at all. Maybe consider why you’re even writing something that contains that theme.
Sincerely,
An actual real life rape and incest survivor who has actual fucking PTSD and really doesn’t want to have to stop reading fic for my ship because people think a god damn asterisk is going to somehow save people like me from being triggered.
I feel like maybe people newer to fandom don’t realize that putting asterisks in words like that is not to avoid triggering someone. Alternate words and alternate spellings are for tricking the algorithm from censoring/blocking your content from distribution (like on tiktok, not showing your video to anyone if you use the word “dead”, so you use the word “unalive”).
Tumblr and AO3 both don’t have that issue - your posts will still be seen if you use the full version of those words. And, as OP stated above, people rely on you using those words so that their blacklisted words/phrases work and they can actually avoid the things that trigger them.
The internet is vast and ever-changing and rules vary from site to site - this is good information for newer AO3/tumblr users!
Reblog to come play this stupid homemade board game we’re all making.

you, reading this. you're a creature now. reblog to creature your followers
get creatured idiot
I love when there’s a really bending heavy episode because you just KNOW Sokka is about to get the dumbest C plot
They stuck that boy in a hole for 22 minutes
I took a minute to quickly check which sample would have the most activity, assuming 100g, low-enriched (5%) samples, and negligible activity from the other sample constituents. Radium is top by a factor of 10,000, which seems about right considering my personal experience with it.
“considering my personal experience with it” What the fuck does this imply
It implies I have personal experience with handling radium samples, which I have. That saucy little thot can make the geiger counter crackle through a lead plate more than americium can through air
REALLY living up to your url king
I did the math on the dose rates, assuming 1 cm distance and using @evilscientist3 ‘s calculated activity. To the layperson, this is how much the radiation blends your DNA per hour, based on how many particles there are and how much energy they have and how far away you are.
U-235: 0.222 rem/hr
Pu-239: 7283.389 rem/hr
Ra-225: 415654.054 rem/hr
To contextualize these numbers, people who work with radiation are only allowed to receive 5 rem per year. The above numbers are per hour.
These chipmunks are fucking toast, but Alvin might get a chance to say goodbye to his family. At least, the ones that aren’t playing hot potato with radioactive sources.
The reason these numbers are so different for the same mass of material is that they have vastly different half-lives. Radium has the shortest, meaning it decays faster, releases the the most radioactive particles per amount of time, and becomes inert the fastest.
Additionally, U-235 and Pu-239 are alpha emitters. Alpha particles are heavy and easily blocked, but also deposit their energy over the shortest distance. Your epidermis will block alpha radiation, so in reality the uranium and plutonium doses from alpha particles will be lower (unless you eat them).
I also didn’t account for decay products. When radioactive atoms decay, they form different isotopes called decay products, which themselves can be radioactive or stable. Calculating the entire decay chain of all of these would have taken me about four sheets of paper, so I didn’t bother. It doesn’t make the chipmunks less dead.
been seeing this tag on ao3 called “mutually unrequited” and i dont mean to nitpick but like….thats not…..what it means…………..
“mutually unrequited” okay so they just don’t like each other
Wait this is actually a hilarious concept, they both think the other is in love with them but they both are very not in love with each other but they try to be nice and end up going on dates to not hurt the other’s feelings while trying to figure out how to let the other down gently but it keeps spiraling

IF YOU ARE ROMANIAN, YOU ARE VALID!! 🥰
This seems to be what I've learned.
This blog in the photo accompaninstuo91 does not have a proper blog. When you click on their blog, an image pops up asking you if you're 18 and if you say yes or no, it directs you to a virus/porn site that isnt on tumblr
The bots are evolving to actively redirect you/ give viruses to you
Please reblog this so you dont fall victim. Do not click follow or try to go onto their blog, instead the only way to report them is to click the little three dots and click report
@staff please stop shit like this
Trying to figure out if you’re ace or aro can be so much harder than other sexualities because it’s like, trying to find the absence of something. Imagine you’re at a pond and you want to know if there are any turtles, or fish. Say you find a turtle and you’re like “great! Now I know there are turtles.” Or a fish, now you know for sure there are fish. Or you find both, and now you know for a fact there are both turtles and fish in the pond.
But like, if you don’t find any turtles it might be that there are no turtles or maybe you’re just really shitty at looking for turtles and maybe you THINK you saw a turtle over there or maybe it was just a stick. Maybe there are only a few turtles. Maybe you need to do something special to find the turtles. Maybe a bunch of these rocks are actually turtles but you couldn’t tell them apart. Maybe there are no turtles. You have no idea. Meanwhile some people are saying “Oh there have to be turtles! You’ll find them eventually ;)” or “How many turtles have you found in your pond?” or “Try planting some vegetables at the shore to attract the turtles.” Or “Oh no! What disaster happened to your pond that there are no turtles?” And you’re just standing there wet with an empty net and a tired expression.
But whatever because whether there are turtles or fish or not your pond’s ecology works just fine without them because that’s what eco-communities do they form a system around what they have. You aren’t missing anything if you don’t have turtles you just have a pond system without turtles. If someone tried to change you by pouring a bunch of turtles into your pond it would probably fuck something up.
So you don’t have to be entirely sure. You don’t have to search every inch of the damn pond before you can decide there are probably no turtles. If you want to take the aro or ace label because you think it fits go for it. And if you do find your turtles you can rename the pond. That’s fine.
Also sometimes you really like the turtles in other people’s ponds and you love how they bring the place all together but that doesn’t mean you want turtles in your pond you just enjoy watching the ones in other people’s ponds.
to be clear I want you to reblog it when you see it. we share the SOUP at the end folks. the soup.
reading junji ito is brilliant because you'll read like a delectably original fucked up piece of work that will genuinely haunt you for ages, then you turn the page and the next story is called 'the little fucked up man' and the story is that there's a little fucked up man
Still collecting the full alphabet of the “live, laugh, love” variants if anyone has some good examples.
Bonus if they can fit the “We can’t ___, _____, ____ our way out of this.”
