I've never seen a more normal spaceship in my life

100% ethically sourced normal spaceship and planet. these kinds nowadays just want to make everything into a problem

I've never seen a more normal spaceship in my life

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

You're right !

Ok

On it boss

You're Soo correct!!

You know what? Fine..

BRO?

hey anon, Neil Gaiman wants to have a word with you.

Every day I feed this cat that isn't mine and every day he crawls onto my shoulder and lacerates my skin while purring directly into my ear and making it impossible to move enough to use the computer properly for like 30 minutes. And then he heads off to hang out on a chair until I go to bed so he can climb directly on top of me and not let me move for another 30 minutes until he's decided we've hugged enough and climbs off me so we can sleep. Fucking inconvenience.

Those people who constantly reblog your stuff but you never really talk:

I do notice my regulars. You guys are the best.

“Regulars” makes me feel like a bar-tender…

Wiping down my dash at the end of an evening, I see your read-more, over-hear your rant in the tags, so I pour you a drink.

“…what’s troubling you, kid?”

That’s the vibe I feel when someone be reblogging my stuff like “oh hey, it’s you. Bit late ain’t it? Let me go grab a chair.”

this is going viral on the tweeter currently so. for you also. miku is not ai!!

alternate ver

it actually weirds me out how many people think “kick it” is a good response to animals

i mainly get this working with birds - a goose lunges, or a parrot clings onto me and bites, and people tend to go “kick it” “slap it” “whack it” but it’s across the board with different species

(this is about animals that realistically can’t do serious damage or lethally attack)

like…it’s an animal who is communicating in an appropriate way for its species that i have irritated it, or scared it, or crossed it’s boundaries, or gotten too close to its food/home/offspring. immediately striking back is only going to amplify the situation, and make it less trusting in the future

is receiving a warning bite or kick or swipe startling, annoying, stressful? sure. am i going to proceed to be a dick about it to an animal that is communicating in a logical way for that animal? no??????

Wait, with BIRDS people say this? The type of animal with hollow bones?? This isn't good for any animal, don't get me wrong, but aren't birds known for being particularly fragile? Dogs for example (especially big dogs) play rough often and can take a bit of a tumble usually (you should NOT kick a dog and I am NOT saying you should, but in theory a big dog wouldn't immediately die, they make war dogs and hunting dogs and attack dogs after all) but?? Don't birds just like, shatter??? Like aren't the stakes here "KILL the bird" if you hit even moderately too hard??? Like it's "being a dick" to a dog etc that is theoretically sturdy enough to weather abuse, but to a bird, isn't that just??? Murder????? "Smack it" do they mean you should KILL IT?!?!

tbh I think a lot of people don’t understand animal behaviour well in general, but they’re more likely to have come into contact/spent time with mammals like cats or dogs than birds, so it’s a whole new territory

i was surprised when i spent some time with captive birds though how often observers would see a bird on me (usually, frankly, making a menace of themselves while investigating) and seriously suggest i whack or shove it

another unfortunate one I’ve seen is people accidentally injuring/killing birds when trying to help them (injured wild birds, injured domestic birds, etc) because they grab them wrong or often, way too roughly

bird bones actually tend to be stronger than mammal bones due to density (also they have to support flight muscles), but on the flip side, mammal bones tend to break relatively cleanly, whereas birds have hollow/semi-hollow bones, which tend to shatter and splinter (leading to more complicated recoveries or in a lot of cases, unable to be fixed)

people also don’t realise that birds have air sacs in their body because they have air circulating (vs humans, where we have the good old in-and-out system), which again, is additional fine tissue to rupture if you’re handling them too roughly

Saw this tweet foever ago n now i keep thinkin bout how making any character ever Canadian is funny as fuck. Theyre all canadian now

My favorite meme is “anime girls photoshopped into desolate Eastern-European photos”

This last one is my favorite:

There’s just something so… desperate about it.

Two oof these images might have came from the area where my grandmother lived. One of them evokes images of a good friend of theirs.

It is an odd coziness.

Apart from the abandoned school, how are these desolate? They’re just people in homes??

Mythbusters have 3 categories of myths

4. Turn up the dynamite, let's MAKE it real

it literally drives me insane that so many companies refuse to send rejection emails like it’s disgraceful tbh. you put so much time and effort into putting together an application and they can’t even be bothered tell you via some measly automated message that you didn’t get the job. you’re expected to just infer

not now kitten daddy's entertaining his 8 regular mutuals on the internet

depicting sexual assault in media is not an endorsement of it 🤝 it's reasonable for audiences to expect a certain level of care and awareness in its presentation 🤝 there is oftentimes an over-reliance on sexual violence in creating the backstories, trajectories, and conflicts of fictional women 🤝 sexual violence is prevalent in society and stories about it do need to be told as a reflection of our reality 🤝 sometimes male writers and directors are extremely bad at telling these stories and audiences are justified in demanding better

ok.

Something I noticed in the Dungeon Meshi anime that passed me by in the manga is how Marcille's instructions to Laios in using magic are exactly what you'd expect from someone who has been studying it academically for god knows how long.

Her preparations for teaching him were coming up with/remembering the speech about feeling the mana flowing through your body, and picking out the right spell. But she glossed over the things that wouldn't concern someone who is extremely experienced in healing magic:

And it's not like she completely forgot that they're a thing, but it wasn't part of what she was planning on teaching, because everyone already knows that, right? So Marcille just brushes past it, like "oh yeah duh, that's a thing, anyway-".

I love it, perfectly in-character. She's an academic!

this video has been going around for a while but the English subtitles didn't match the energy of the spoken French at all. i had to fix it.
