welcome to my trash can :)

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.

So let me get this straight ,vegans should stop eating the food of the Mexcian long-nosed bats, because the bats need it, and instead vegans should instead eat honey, the food of bees, that their larvae need, even though the bee populations are facing ecological issues as it stands.  10/10 post, dude.

Did you forget the whole part where only excess is taken and all their needs are met and then some orrrr?

Like, did you read it orrrrr?

Anyway, BUY HONEY SAVE BEES

It is a 10/10 post. Because OP is right.

Bees do not suffer when beekeepers take their honey, because experienced beekeepers do not take all of their honey, in fact, they leave plenty of honey left for the bees to consume over the winter. If we do not collect their honey, 1 of two things will happen.

1. they will leave for a bigger home. Which at first seems fine until you remember that bees are dying very quickly out in the wild.

or

2. They will start using the areas that they reserve for their young as a place to make more honey. This is bad because if no more young are being produced, then the hive will start to die out because no new workers are coming into the world, and the average live only 150 days, so it would also mean the loss of more bees.

So yeah, eating honey isn’t inhumane at all. In fact, you’re helping the bees by eating what they produce and giving money to the bee keepers who are the ones making sure that the hive will keep being healthy.

LOUDER FOR THE VEGANS IN THE BACK: use honey, not agave! Bees need your support and other animals need agave! Using honey means more bees!!

Sometimes, when you play dnd, the question isn't "Is this an effective and economical use of my limited spell slots?" but rather, "Would this be really fucking funny?"

Did I waste all my dimension doors to run away? Yes. Would I do it again? Also yes. Was it worth it? Only time will tell.

Spending time with kids always reminds me how much I love the way they play. I’ll be like “hey kid look, this little bug is called an isopod it’s related to crabs and it eats dead plants” and they’ll immediately respond with something like “cool let’s play isopods we have to collect dead leaves as fast as we can and if we don’t get enough we die of starvation and have a bug funeral”

What an amazing way to process new information or explore an idea! It’s important to remember these kinds of games are not random or pointless; playing is how kids learn.

so there’s this trans wizard and no one can remember the wizards pronouns and we’re all to scared to ask cuz the wizard has a pretty short temper and the wizard might curse us or penis blast us if we ask the wizard for the wizards pronouns or mess up the wizards pronouns so we all just call the wizard ‘the wizard’ in place of pronouns

gotham is exactly the right amounts of wet and socioeconomically unstable to have spawned an INSANE grunge scene you just know their local shit is like the sonic equivalent of getting hit over the head with a car battery

bruce wayne has his finger on the pulse of gotham’s underground music scene he’s like “listen to this” and he puts on a cassette he bought for $10 from a guy under a bridge and its like 90 minutes of some guy crooning in a flooded warehouse with a guitar amp they found in the river and there’s active gunfire in the background of half the songs

gotham grunge band “arkham fire” debut album “DYING ALL THE TIME” becomes the world’s first snuff record because their guitarist is killed by the joker in the middle of the fifth track and it is unequivocally considered their best song

if I was batman villain I’d just put all my time, effort and energy into slashing his tires, no matter how many time he updates that goddamn batmobile I would find a way

I would just play obnoxious and inconvenient pranks. I would also call myself the Joker just to confuse everybody. I would never commit any actual violence unless the inferior Joker came after me, in which case I would quickly execute him, and continue with my grade school pranking.

It's fun reading writers who clearly grew up in suburban/urban environments as someone who grew up on a farm because they're always like "oh it was so creepy, woods at night, eerily breathtaking, something was living in there..." and it's like yeah that'll be the deer.

EXACTLY

Same can be said about city streets. Random "gunshot" and "explosion" noises? That's the road construction crew behind the corner. Mysterious howling and barking out of nowhere echoing through the street? That's someone's dumb dog that locked itself out on the balcony on the 3rd floor above you and buildings just happen to have the shape where certain areas just vibrate with echoes from all sides at once. Screeching of car tires and agressive shouting? Fucking teens are at it again.

But the city is the creepiest when it's silent because if there are no cars and no chitchat and no humm of an A/C unit, then where is everybody?

Meanwhile in a rural area if you hear a gunshot that's actually a gunshot

It's nothing to worry about though, unless you hear a long, screaming NYOOM accompanying it. The Looney Tunes sound effect for flying bullets is legitimately almost what bullets flying past your head actually sounds like.

isekai about a nyc apartment block getting teleported into a fantasy realm, and how this group of people who previously have only had incidental contact with one another come together to build a vibrant community in their new circumstances. there's a season-long arc about introducing bagels and pizza to the fantasy world that gets into the details of sourcing ingredients, developing new technologies, and learning how to work with supernatural substitutions.

Clarifying question: just the people or the buildings and animal life too?

And does it include random people on the street at the time of the transfer?

oh the whole thing for sure, im picturing the whole city block with a crust of sidewalk just dropped onto the outskirts of a small medieval village. im thinking theres probably a corner store and a couple other things included too, so youve got the people who work there or were shopping at the time of the transfer too.

i hadnt thought of animals but having a whole thing w pigeons would be awesome too; have new york feral pigeons meeting with tamed messenger pigeons of the era, a raccoon that was sleeping in a trash can eats a magical necklace and starts talking. love it.

fucking love this. an army of monster rats descend upon the kingdom, led by a single subway rat under the banner of a half-eaten pizza crust

But they do not anticipate the rise of the Hero, their one, true, and most worthy foe—

Great tags on this post from the Mari fandom

honestly it is so funny that s1 mari was so ready to talk shit, after the seance she came out swinging with the “Did dead cabin guy tell you that? Or do you guys just chat about blood and stuff?”

and all lottie had to do was come back w “No, we mostly talk about how Danny Mears dumped you for his own cousin.”

and that is quite literally all it takes for mari to be like "actually I think lottie might be a god?"

obsessed with the way natalie is a complete fucking wreck in the real world, but kept every one of those girls alive in the woods. tai and shauna acknowledge this in the car during the cash drop. why do you keep paying for her treatment? because she kept us alive out there. if jackie was the emblem of society and had to die in the woods, i think natalie—even more than lottie—is the woods and will have to die in society.
