‘dont say gay if youre bi’ lmao lets all leave the house! lets all go outside and get a big gulp of fresh air is what im thinking
“who’s gonna watch your right?” sentences to make you cry. they’ve barely fought together when deli had one eye and colin was already accounting for it, already using that strategic mind and imagining how to best protect him
Raphaniel's secret is that he knew that Arthur Cardoon never having an heir would result in a war
Raphaniel the eschatologist poisoned Arthur Cardoon to keep him from having an heir
Raphaniel started the Ravening War
Brennan Lee Mulligan wrote the ravening war into existence as both player and dungeon master
How the FUCK am I supposed to live normally after this????????????
#!!!!#and he has a realization that he fucked up but the writings he left behind inspire belizabeth to start ANOTHER war out of fanaticism!!!!#the cycles!!!#brennan drawing parallels between raphaniel’s realizations about the cosmos during his death to lapin’s!!!#I’m gonna throw up!!!#the ravening war#bishop raphaniel charlock#d20 spoilers#trw spoilers
I didn’t realize how much I loved Karna until I saw her brutally killed by an eldritch abomination without a chance to say goodbye to the love of her life, and saw Amangeux speak about her with such softness after her death and call her “little sister”.
I didn’t realize how much I loved Deli until I watched him slowly, painstakingly, nearly die for his friends so they could get out, and then retire to a life of solitude in the same way he forced his mother to die to his misguided warmongering.
anyway. characters that make you feel affection for them the most when you’re desperate for them not to die. but they do anyway.
we really need to start telling people ‘dont feed the trolls’ again because ragebaiting is getting like. disturbingly effective on the internet again even to young people who should know better
i guess while im at it most things posted online are fake or should be cautiously assumed as fake. r/aita and r/relationshipadvice are like almost entirely fake stories. people make shit up for no reason. not even to win arguments or to make some statement. just no reason! for fun! a lot!
i saw a man at work the other day wearing a shirt that said "i was normal 2 pomeranians ago" with pictures of his pomeranians on it. important to note he had his pomeranians in his cart
artists rendition (i forgot to add the poms on his shirt but you get the gist)
Every time someone makes an artist's rendition of a weird little guy they saw in public instead of recording them without consent, an angel gets it's wings.
"click for frogs" how's about you let me click on people's urls to visit their reblogs directly. remember that
Can I ask how leaving water out and food out differ? Like I understand that one is okay and the other isn't but I also don't fully understand how animals don't associate water with people like they will food? Sorry if this is a dumb question lol
Wild animals like foxes don't automatically associate food left out for them as being from humans unless they actually see a human putting out/throwing the food to them. So if someone was to just leave food in a discreet place and the fox never saw the person putting it out, they wouldn't associate that food source with humans and would just assume they found a natural scavenging opportunity. Same is true of water. They have nothing to associate it to humans unless they actually see a human around it regularly.
However, the main difference is that water doesn't change their behaviour the way food does. A fox will stop for a drink at a water bowl if they're in that area, then carry on with their normal activities. With food, a fox will hang around that area a lot more in the hopes of being the first to the food/getting more food. Often fox feeders see a fox sitting around waiting for food and chuck more food out assuming they are still hungry, and thus the fox learns to keep hanging around. This is multiplied when you have multiple foxes coming to the same food source. The more food is provided, the more foxes can live in that small area. All their activities (fouling, peeing, digging, vocalising etc.) then get concentrated in one small area. Not fun if your one of the neighbours! Foxes will also reduce the size of their territory to concentrate on defending that food source.
Water doesn't have that effect. The fox drinks, and once it's thirst is quenched it moves on. It's not going to hang around waiting for more water because it would be pointless. They can't bury extra water for another time like they can with food (even if a fox is full they will keep begging for more food to bury).
Water is also generally harder to come by. If a fox can't catch a meal in one part of it's territory, it'll just try in another area until it has success. Eventually they'll catch something because there's always small prey animals around or roadkill to be scavenged or worms to dig up. But in an urban area there's often no natural water sources, or water sources may dry up in hot weather, and if it's not rained in weeks then they have no way of getting water and will die of either dehydration or heatstroke.
Here's a perfect example of what I mean when I say fox feeding allows them to exist in much higher numbers. Started with two, but fed so much food that the group was able to grow to thirteen. That is NOT a normal or healthy amount of foxes in one area.
I think one hot summer day after melting alone in a motel room for 3 weeks and after a million and one viewings of the lost boys (on a stolen vhs tape) dean is like sammy. sammy. you have to pierce my ear for me. I’ll get you ice cream if you do a good job sammy do you wanna pierce my ear. and sammy, 11 years old, just starting to enter the fun, feral, and bloodthirsty stage of adolescence, is like. dean I have quite literally never wanted anything more. give me a needle NOW. they sanitize the needle in listerine mouthwash and they don’t have an ice cube, but they’re vaguely aware that a lemon is sometimes involved in the process so they decide to squirt it on dean’s ear AFTER poking a hole in it. they don’t steady the ear with anything and sam overestimates his strength and jams it in so hard it also stabs into dean’s neck and they almost couldn’t pull it out. they’re both screaming. sammy starts frantically squeezing lemon juice all over the side of dean’s face which is making him scream more. john walks in in the middle of this and in a rare moment of picking his battles he’s like alright. as long as that doesn’t get infected neither of you are in trouble. clean up the blood off the sink. jesus christ do you even have an earring to put in there? no, they do not have an earring. that genuinely never occurred to dean<3 john thinks this is genuinely hilarious and finds a safety pin to use instead and reiterates that it Better not get infected. of course this piercing IMMEDIATELY gets infected. it’s very bad, but dean knows they can’t afford a doctor’s trip and neither of the boys wanna bring it up to john and ruin a good memory for him, so dean enters a beanie phase (in the middle of a heat wave) to hide it, and honestly at this point john forgot and just thought the hat was a normal weird teenage fashion fad so he didn’t question it. they had to wait until bobby’s next custody-six-weekends to get to a doctor and bobby yelled at them for an hour straight and insisted on cleaning it out with the medicine himself since they obviously can’t be trusted to take care of themselves, and also made sure to tell the boys that the actual hole was crooked and looked dumb as hell, although dean did find an anti-possession symbol earring on his bedside table the next morning
also by the way any time anyone says "the next destiel" or "the next spn finale" youre objectively wrong. the amount of situations that need to happen for that to be true is genuinely impossible
The whole story is insane. Police placed a target on his back for no fucking reason but can't seem to stop mass shooters by simply checking out those forums
read the whole article! chicago pig department thoroughly ruined this man’s entire life for no reason because a pre-crime algorithm told them to. in addition to being constantly harassed and surveyed by cops, he lost all his friends and got shot twice because people thought he was a snitch...because there were cops lurking around him all the time. what the fuck
Y'all remember when I said AI isn't gonna get people killed because it's gonna be too smart for us to handle, but because it's gonna be too stupid/applied to the wrong things and people are gonna rely on it anyway? Exhibit A.
How could a guy with NO access to a safe be considered the one “In Possession” of drugs found within it??
sunscreen / SPF is for EVERYONE
it’s true that gingers like myself are more likely to acquire skin cancer from sun exposure
it is ALSO true that people of color are more likely to DIE of skin cancer (a very survivable cancer) due to late diagnosis, medical racism, and lower levels of access to care
pls take care of your skin. it’s your biggest organ
Remember physical barriers are the best sunscreens. Lightweight breathable clothes that cover you, big sunglasses, wide brim hats, or even carry an umbrella/parasol.
the "no spoiler culture", mainly perpetuated by the marvel cinematic universe, that pushes the idea that a story is only worth watching and telling if the audience knows absolutely nothing about it beforehand, has done irreparable damage to storytelling and how an audience interacts with the story. in this essay i will-
DO NOT ENGAGE WITH BLUE CHECKS
Elon Musk is paying blue checks for ad revenue in the replies of their Tweets now. He is only paying "verified" accounts for this, even if the account in question has hundreds of thousands of followers.
