did you let me die in your arms in the timeloop

I keep thinking about this post. Did you let me? As in did you not save me? and Did you let me? as in did you allow me the comfort of your embrace at the expense of your own pain, knowing tomorrow I would be back and fine but you’d still be feeling my blood against your skin?

Did you let me die in your arms?

Just added “Likes”: an easy way to let people know that you like their posts.

This is going to change the game

Sanderson choosing violence against his fans today.

[Image description: A passage from Tress of the Emerald Sea. It reads “She took the took that resembled a shield and pressed it onto the roseite. The crystals responded immediately, pulling toward the metal, which (from the slate grey color) seemed to be simple iron. The other tool, the trowel, made the crystals grow away from it. It was of polished silvery metal. (Steel, for those who compulsively track these things.)” End ID.]

He remembered when the rhythm of war preview chapters were coming out and we cared more about metal mentioned in the epigraphs then Ialai dying.

I love MTG partially because it’s a setting that explicitly has "Gods" that are like ten headed hydras and 20 story titans and then also contains things above the gods and those things are like "emo nerd boy with a really good teleport" and "furry bear bait"

ok so apparently TERFs believe that when we say something along the lines of "reblog this post to turn everybody trans by 2050" that we're actually serious.

anyway reblog this post to turn everybody trans by 2050

"birds aren't dinosaurs" ❌ wrong, misinformed, way too common

"all vertebrates evolved from fish, and are therefore technically fish" ✅ mischievous, technically true if you look at it from the right angle, demonstrates how cladistics work

"whales are fish but not for the reason you might think" 😈 this is funny to me specifically

Whales technically being fish is the funniest about face evolution has given us

there's no such thing as a fish, but all mammals are fish, and whales are fish because they're mammals

IM A FISH??

once the magic spell starts taking place, then yes

Oh god…..I can already feel the spell taking effect……………………………………..I can…………………feel the fish flowing through me………………………………….

O-Oh god…………………what is…………………happening to me……………….?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FFFUUUCCCCKKKKK IT HURTS SO BAD AAAAAAAAAA MAKE IT STOP OH GOD PLEASE HAVE MERCY AAAAAAAAAAAAA

That's not the kind of fish you are ;)

Try this on instead, it might fit better:

me a few years ago: its so weird how right wingers always wanna blame the "elite" given that alot of them are in the global 1% of wealth and therefore almost by definition the same "elite" they claim to hate. weird right? lol right wing logic makes no sense

me now: oh my god they mean Jewish people. its always been Jewish people. and the insistence of online leftists to use words like "elite" and "cabal" (to refer to a handful of ultra rich people who dictate a lot of how our lives are run) kinda makes them sound like antisemites too. maybe this whole idea that the world is run by a select few is a gross oversimplification which only serves to reinforce antisemitic stereotypes... oh no. maybe i have a lot of shit to unlearn. maybe i need to start vocally defending Jewish ppl. also local community building is the only way out of this

wow. well, it’s 2007. We now know that Pluto isn’t a planet. Two snowflakes can be alike. Humans can be cloned. There is global warming. Everyone hates America and you’re weird if you don’t have internet. But there’s still one thing that will never change: i love you.

some fools be like “i play games to escape my responsibilities” then pick tank or healer

in my greatest fantasies i am able to help people

In my fantasies I can prevent people from being hurt, even if it means I get hurt in their stead.

In my fantasies i dont have to know how to aim

Tumblr is so funny because you can make a post like "hey do not mix bleach and vinegar in your cleaning, you'll make chlorine gas and you do not want to make chlorine gas. It is dangerous to mix these two specific chemicals together", and the comments are like

"Um vinegar isn't dangerous?? My mom cleans things with vinegar all the time and we have never had lung issues. White people are insane." (<- does not use bleach, missing the point)

"OH MY GOD BLEACH IS CHLORINE GAS? NOBODY EVER TOLD ME I'VE BEEN CLEANING WITH BLEACH MY WHOLE LIFE, I WILL DIE." (<- has literally never used vinegar in cleaning, and never mixed the two, missing the point)

"This is just stupid fearmongering, we use bleach and vinegar to wash the floors all the time, OP is lying." (<- does not actually know what "vinegar" is, and is confusing the word for something else)

"Yeah this is true enough but also keep in mind that this kind of household cleaning product chlorine gas is too weak and unreliable to use for domestic terrorism purposes." (<- raises concerns, but potentially has a point)

Seriously, the easiest way for a time-traveler to make present-day money completely untraceably would be comicbooks.

Go buy yourself a US 10c coin from 1935, which will apparently set you back around $8.50; set your time machine for New York, April 18th 1938; walk up to a newsstand and buy a copy of Action Comics #1 with your dime.

Come back to the present, send the comic off to be professionally graded, tell everyone you found it in a yard sale, sell it at auction, and congratulations: your $8.50 is now $3.25 million.

Repeat with Detective Comics #27, Amazing Fantasy #15, etc.

Hell, if you don't wanna draw attention to yourself, just pick less expensive comics! Need $600 quick? Go to February 1991, pick up New Mutants #98 for a dollar, and a Deadpool fan will take that off your hands really quick.

Comics are mass-produced, so history won't miss a copy or two going missing; basically untraceable once sold; and can easily be claimed as something you found in a yard sale or charity shop.

Make sure to stick it in an archival lockbox and then pick it up later, especially if it’s something that was made before the Trinity test; if it doesn’t have the right nuclear isotopes, you might be SOL.

^^^This. If you're doing time-machine scams like this you don't want to bring the item back WITH you, as then it won't be properly aged(remember time is relative, and it's measured through atomic decay. Even conventional means of verification, like look/feel/smell of item, relate directly to this; buying near-to-print and bringing it to another time will just make it look like a very authentic, but poorly conceived, fake). You've got to stick it in a good container, stow it somewhere both safe and where no-one else can get at it(and which won't be raided by vultures, like a storage-locker), and then recover it at the time you mean to cash it out. Of course, as so many have said before, at that point you might as well just open a bank-account then, to cash in on it's appreciation now(buying gov bonds, stowing in a safe-deposit box, and skipping ahead to cash them at peak-return value, rinse-repeat, is another good low-risk strat with much higher gains than just letting the money sit there. Playing the market, like sports-betting, is a BAD IDEA: that's how they getcha!).
