Der Morgen Nach Der Feier — The Morning After the Celebration (1853)

lets give it up for pleasures of the flesh !!

why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?

I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail

everyone else is like "oh we gotta stay inside the most secure places possible and never leave" and I'll be storming through the wastelands in my bloodstained suit of armor, blasting the Doom (2016) OST and plowing my way through waves of the undead. one of them tries to bite me but his shitty rotting teeth don't even leave a dent in my armor before I turn his head into paste. I'll be unstoppable until I die of dehydration or something like an idiot

this goes along with my other pet peeve about zombie apocalypse stories, namely: why does no one ever think to ride a bike? 

bikes are quiet- if the zombies react to loud noises, they won’t hear you on a bike the way they might hear you in a car. bikes don’t need gas, meaning you won’t be stranded if you run out. bikes are much, much easier to maintain than a car- there’s no computer that can short out, no fiddly engine bits that could kill you if you mess with them wrong. you can learn how to maintain a bike with a couple weeks’ worth of classes. almost every adult knows how to ride a bike, and without cars on the road, it’d be much safer to do. 

what i’m saying is

American author Mark Twain (b. 1835) lurches from his grave only to give you a massive thumbs up and die again

Mark Twain essentially invented the genre of a bystander sent into a time-travel sci-fi plot just to get someone to draw this image for him. And today we can simply search for such a picture. It is a time of wonders

#this post has everything. zombies. knights. bicycles. knights on bicycles. mark twain.

[[ The Hazards of Love  is a webcomic about a nonbinary teen from Queens who gets dragged into a  surreal place called Bright World where humans are classified as “edible” and “inedible.” Now they have to figure out a way to get back home while doing their best to, y’know, avoid death. Updates Tuesday and Fridays]]

imo the best way to interpret those “real people don’t do x” writing advice posts is “most people don’t do x, so if a character does x, it should be a distinguishing trait.” human behavior is infinitely varied; for any x, there are real people who do x. we can’t make absolute statements. we can, however, make probabilistic ones.

for example, most people don’t address each other by name in the middle of a casual conversation. if all your characters do that, your dialogue will sound stilted and unnatural. but if just one character does that, then it tells us something about that character.

be honest. are you guys only hanging out with me because of the prophecy.

how does one even go about explaining this to anyone??!?

Here is the actual clip, and let me tell you, Jolson’s delivery does not disappoint:

All shall be well someday

being cosmically "insignificant" doesnt even matter like its not important......... like literally lets enjoy a strawberry

as a physicists the whole 'cosmically significant' is so funny. nothing is cosmically significant. the sun is small and tiny compared to, most starts and even stars are small next to the gravitational pull of supermassive black holes and even then is doesn't matter bc, the universe is both infinite and in vast expanse so why would one black whole matter?, which means at the end everything matters bc the universe is a sum of its parts all parts are so stupid small to the universe they all, matter and we are here enjoying a strawberry, isnt it nice?, (via las-lus)

Based on a dream i had last night about a haunted house screaming at me to stay.
