a twitter thread that actually killed me
Probably like a super niche thing, but sometimes I think about an Exandria and Borros cross over.
There are so many ways this could occur, and so many ways that it could go gloriously wrong, but mostly I just want literally any Exandrian character to encounter Guy.
Or, you know, one day Fearne starts talking about this plum bartender she met one time and it turns out she’s occasionally been in the Borrosian Feywild by accident but nobody’s noticed.
Rickard was an innocent bystander during one iteration of the Deathwish Run. He doesn’t want to talk about it.
Effie and Laudna talk having to share a brain with someone else. ‘Technically I don’t even exist!’ 'That’s really rough. Hey, how do you feel about rats?’
The Slayer’s Cake opens a branch next door to Fantasy TGI Friday.
Above game, the running jokes about person and place name pronunciations get even worse.
Xander and Liam compete to see who has the Saddest Wet Cat Character, round two (I personally think Fenly won round one; at least Emmett got smooched).
Ashley and Aabria share that 'my character fucks and you’re gonna hear about it’ energy; if they sat down together for a crossover of any description, they’d just look at each other and at whichever poor sod got stuck in the DM chair, and suddenly the DM would find their mouth opening and the words, 'So, you’re hosting this orgy, and—’ coming out of it.
Today on 'subject areas that use terminology that is way too suggestive for me to take seriously': structural concrete.
- plain member
- reinforced member
- prestressed member
- sequential jacking
- yield penetration
- top and bottom fibre stresses
- 'Tables are available that indicate the approximate size of a member required for different purposes.'
- designing members for serviceability
I'm on the verge of calling in immature to work tomorrow, this is making me laugh way too hard.
Just came across the term 'crack friction' and I bluescreened because I was like 'you need lube' and 'yes, it would be if I wrote it' simultaneously.
Today's crop, as I return to this unit after some time working elsewhere:
- erection tolerances
- collapsible void-former
- yielding sacrificial member
- standard penetration test (okay)
- cone penetration test (sure)
- dilatometer (...)

not gay as in happy, but queer as in i love you
i don’t mean this as a joke. i mean this as an expression of what queer means to me. this is the core of it: love, but radically. love, but in defiance. and i don’t mean “love is love” either; i mean love like militant solidarity between queer women and queer men and all other iterations and permutations of both and neither and something else. i mean love like trans self love. like decolonizing gender. i mean love like found families, like vows beyond and intentionally distinct from marriage. i mean love is a riot. i mean a love that transcends hunger. i mean love like disruption, like breaking concrete foundations like frost and thaw because to live otherwise is unthinkable or unlivable or simply and plainly unwanted
i mean queer like a shot-glass or a sledgehammer. something that shatters borders, that tears down walls and does not, cannot build them. i mean genderqueer queerplatonic we’re here we’re queer qpoc queer theory queer liberation queer Queer QUEER
i love this so much, this is fucking everything
Me, writing; how good is rat eyesight yes this is a vital plot point stfu
people will agree w posts about how we need to protect vulnerable people all day until they find out that it sometimes means they'll be mildly inconvenienced
this is about wearing masks to protect immunocompromised people by the way. if you don't wear one you are abandoning the vulnerable and risking other people's lives.
also, if you've stopped masking it's never too late to start again! it will make a difference, it will help others.
you cannot consider yourself a leftist or punk or whatever if you can't do the bare minimum for your disabled siblings and comrades
being a scavenger animal must be so fucking great. imagine if every time someone died a new restaurant opened up downtown.

we’re all boring to someone, annoying to someone, ugly to someone, but it’s not that deep

she can’t help herself, Holga sees a halfling man who loves potatoes and she’s goin’ in for the kill
tbh hatewatching is such an alien concept to me, i can barely be bothered to watch the things i do want to watch why would i bother looking at something i know i won't like
I like the idea of Jurati's Borg becoming almost like a religious group within the Federation, where anyone can join, but there are different degrees of adherence. There are, like, the "Christmas and Easter" Borg who only just log into the collective a few times a year for the sense of community and the sense being in the presence of a higher power; there are the Borg who log in for a few hours each day; the more devout, who are permanently logged in but retain their individuality to varying degrees and bear varying degrees of cybernetic enhancement; and then there are the truly committed Borg, who are basically the equivalent of monks, who have allowed themselves to become full drones and live within the Hive and no longer exist as individuals in any capacity. And even though the new Collective's heart is basically in the right place, they're still considered kind of ominous, because converts *do* cease to exist as individual persons the more into it they go; and even though they're not going to force anyone to join and try to be as ethical as possible about recruitment (less missionary work and more just...opening up a door onto a bottomless black abyss and telling everyone that they can walk through it, if they want), it's an open philosophical question to what extent an individual can be said to be freely choosing to go deeper after they've already had experience of being part of a hive mind, if only briefly. And even though these Borg have abandoned their violent ways, they still very much *do* believe that their way of life is superior, that it is preferable to exist as a part of a collective than as an individual; and they very much *do* want you, personally and collectively, to join them.
I think that it would be an interesting development, given the Federation's overall attitude towards religion, and given the fact that the Borg basically offer a sort of secular, materialistic transcendence. Maybe you can't find God, but a single squirt of nanoprobes can allow you to experience consciousness on a level unimaginable to humanoid brains. I can definitely see why that would be alluring.
Smug about sticking to my guns against the 'prev tags' phenomenon now that tumblr's latest update has fucked up looking at a previous reblogger's tags.
For last month’s patreon challenge, I made some studies of underwater scenes. And everyone knows that underwater is the natural habitat of mermaids, so I had to add a mermaid to this study. You know, for accuracy!!
If you want to join this month’s challenge, I just posted it over on Patreon! You’ll get reference images, inspiration, and resources to help you on your way. Head on over to my patreon page and sign up to the flame tier to participate: https://www.patreon.com/loish

Another mermaid drawing, this one isn’t that small, it took me a while to finish this one hehe c:.
i know i went for the more obvious/Basic choices so please expound in the tags/replies!! if there's a story or reason to your choice, tell us more!!
i was always a triceratops fan. i think it had something to do with the land before time.
Quetzalcoatlus

So I put @regionalpancake's ship comparison chart in Photoshop
then I made the canvas the width in pixels that it would need to be to fit Red Dwarf (at 9,656 metres, or 33.5 Enterprises) on it
then I shrank the whole thing down to 1500px wide so it wouldn't break anyone's dash
she THICC
(naturally, Tumblr's tendency to resize images ruins the effect somewhat, but I think you get the general idea.)
