The tournament is based on submission!

If you don't think xyz character is queer, you can just vote against them! But at this point it is too late to take them out of the tournament without messing the whole thing up!

Rules

  • don't insult characters or fandoms, you will get blocked
  • reblogs are fine, but please don't reblog the same polls over and over (especially if you are a poll/tournament blog), you will get blocked
  • please stop yelling at me or calling me cruel for pitting "your faves" against each other, the tournament polls are randomized
#polls#claire is so important to me as representation

"He's like Action Man; he's got plastic underpants and a trade mark." - Lister describing Petersen's downstairs situation. Am I hearing about Petersen's Danish enby swag??

They're talking about Kryten but I misheard it as "Did he [Petersen] try to seduce her?" rather than "Do you think he'll [Kryton] try to seduce her?"

However you and and I like it my way so that's the official version now 🫡

#its too late. ive already comitted#red dwarf is just like that#wasnt sure if it was a joke or if petersen was a ken doll but i was absolutely ready to accept it#and we will#red dwarf#i am terrible at listening to things. i always mishear lol

This is a series I was trying a while ago when HotD first came out, drawing the characters in the Style of Total Drama Island. Trouble is, I didn't watch either show and I lost interest, although I was glad to see some improvement from the first two.

i want to offer a few corrections to this post: it wasn't the Triassic, it was the Protoerozoic. not 250 million years ago, but 2.4 billion years ago. and it wasn't pink before, then red, it was both at the same time. the pink came from cyanobacteria, and the red came from the iron oxide that flooded the sea during The Great Oxygen Catastrophe.

The surface-dwelling cyanobacteria flooded the earth with Oxygen through en-masse photosynthesis, and then died, because they couldn't live in the highly oxygenated environment they created. the oxygen would seep into the oceans and bond with iron at the bottom, forming iron oxide.

this is what turned the seas red, and also what created these gorgeous banded iron formations (first discovered in northern Michigan in 1844, they make up about 60% of all iron reserves)

I am not scientifically inclined, but ancient epics like the Odyssey frequently refer to "the wine dark sea." This is for a couple of reasons like lacking a word for blue, or sometimes trying to describe brown, but you definitely picture something like this.

Also it's a wickedly cool painting.

#you cannot miss this phrase in the odyssey. seriously. its everywhere#its a technique to help oral poets remember their lines to use repeated phrases like that.#science is fun too but i am a humanities nerd#wine dark sea#the Odyssey#science
