lawyer voice. let's see here. on the 4th of february you reblogged a video with the tags "killing that man" and "attacka and killa you with a branch." however, just six days earlier, you had reblogged a gifset of the very same man and indicated in the tags that you would like to *checks notes* ahem, "sex him so good he say blah blah blah"

castiel sacrificed himself on live television. while gay. and you're gonna discriminate against his clit?
My roommate (the one who hates septum piercings so much they make her gag) thinks my art is the most disgusting and ugly shit on the planet, and every time I announce that I've sold a piece or gotten into a show, she makes the kind of facial expression you'd expect of someone eating chili at a live autopsy and says, "I'm glad you're having fun! :)"
You're all misunderstanding; I love her so much and I'm having a great time. It's like when you're a kid and you chase other, less cool kids around the playground with a fun worm you found.
She doesn't consume any media besides sitcoms and reality TV, and doesn't have social media besides Facebook, so when I come to her with something even remotely bizarre, she just has absolutely nothing to compare it to. Like, when I show her something mildly weird that made like this:
She's just fully convinced that I personally invented the concept of body horror all on my own specifically to make her life a living hell. She thinks I'm the only person like this alive. It's so funny. I love her.
I got my septum pierced btw.
Anonymous asked:
Wait why do they need a hallucinogen to safely navigate space in dune?
*gasp*
LET ME TELL YOU... ABOUT MY WONDERFUL SPECIAL BOYS...
THE SPACING GUILD NAVIGATORS.
So a major facet of Dune's world-building is that it's taking place after an event called "The Butlerian Jihad"--sometime after humanity colonized space, there was a massive purge of "Thinking Machines"--we completely wiped out all computers and AI. "But Nite," you're saying, "We need computers to do so many things! How the fuck are people in Dune functioning without computers?! I mean they're in fucking space!!!"
Well, fun fact! A lot of the technology in Dune is in fact, analog! We're talking like weird fucked up mutant children of clockwork and VCR-core! It's wild stuff! Some factions in Dune (like the Tleilaxu) probably have computers and robots hidden away somewhere, but AI is a HUGE taboo in the Dune Universe.
"But wait, we still need computers to calculate stuff."
Well yes, and that's where Mentats come in.
Mentats are humans who have been conditioned from a young age to basically... do what computers do. They can run rapid calculations, store insane amounts of memory, and combine human logic with perfect calculation to advise and instruct.
But there are some calculations that even Mentats can't handle, and that's where my special special boys the Spacing Guild Navigators come in:
See... the thing about Spice in Dune is it isn't just a hallucinogen. It literally expands consciousness--it makes you no longer perceive time linearly-- so spacing guild navigators have conditioning similar to mentats, but this is paired with being dosed with massive amounts of Spice until it mutates their bodies into fucked up fish people and they can't survive outside of a spice-infused tank. So that combination of pinpoint accuracy calculating capabilities with a mind that has been bombarded with so much Space Acid you can plot out the movements of celestial bodies results in a being who can calculate safe FTL travel through the stars!! That's a fucking person in that tank!! It's so fucked up!! I love them!!! And that's how Dune uses Spice to safely navigate space!! That's why Spice is vital to space travel!!!
Finally saw dune. Brave film. They incorporated bagpipes into the soundtrack and fuck if you don't see an actual bagpiper on screen in front of sexy sexy oscar isaac. They could have pretended the bagpipes were nondiagetic but no. They were like "guess what. The majestic instrument originating from the scottish highlands exist in this universe. And hes gonna play his little song" marvel could never. If they showed a bagpiper on screen he would be laughed at. Humiliated. Dare I say, "quipped at". And then they would have made a joke about how spiderman played the bagpipes in marching band.
If they don't include this exchange from the original novel in the next Dune movie I'm gonna boycott it:
no i will not make separate blogs for my fandoms, everyone who follows me must experience ALL my insanity
