My friends and I have a yearly tradition of getting together and watching an old film while playing various drinking games, and given the resurgence I thought I'd share the one we used for Goncharov!

  • Take a sip every time there is a clock in the scene, or a meaningful shot of a watch or the clocktower (a character wearing one or standing near the tower doesn’t count, the blood spattered face of a stopped watch does). When a clock strikes, take a sip for each chime.
  • Take a sip everyone someone references their terrible relationship with their father or take two sips if Andrey interacts with his father (there are no good interactions here).
  • Take a sip every time someone lights a cigarette, two if they light someone elses.
  • Take a sip every time Goncharov and Andrey say something INCREDIBLY homoerotic (i.e. would have been arrested for at the time) in front of a background character.
  • Take a sip for every lingering touch between Sofia and Katya, finish your drink for the necklace scene.
  • Take two sips for every betrayal, or three for every time Goncharov specifically is betrayed.
  • Finish your drink every time a main character dies.
  • Bonus if you don’t value your liver: take a shot for every gun.

Has anyone else used any of the other drinking games that float around from time to time?

in ‘the creation of adam’, Man lies back indolently, reaching out idly in response to the forwards-thrusting touch of divinity, well within reach but lacking the drive to take it, representing the naive state of original mankind, unburdened by consciousness or desire.

In this fascinating modern take, however, the artist instead shows Man as a driving force, frantically throwing aside all barriers and restrictions in pursuit of his goal: a goal which remains impossible to reach. Fast food, representing compromise for survival in the face of an uncaring and overstressing world, hangs awkwardly in the center of an uncrossable abyss. Note the use of highly-rendered tensed musculature to imply physical effort, emphasized by the contrast with loose, hanging fabric, and also the lack of effort on the part of the employee: She is trying, and were she reach out just a little further, then through their collaboration would Man attain his goal. But, the strictures of her position allow only a certain amount of human generosity and kindness. The structures we build as humanity prevent us from doing all that we can to help one another, and this remains true even when presented with a fellow human willing risk death, to survive.

Aren’t you the person that made the Science licking post? i can’t find it anywhere

Yeah I am! I deleted the original because the notifications were getting annoying, but you can find it by googling “Can you lick the science” and picking any of the popular reblogs/ reddit posts/ exc.

Have fun!

why pigeons, not parrots, are the ideal avian companion is my most recent article and i’d appreciate if you gave it a read! this piece discusses why pigeons are truly made to be human companions - without the complex needs and stress of a pet parrot.

thank you so much for the outpouring of support for this article!! ♥️♥️♥️

Presenting Grimmsnarl, the greasy strangler! This is my first new piece for my Realistic Pokemon series in almost 4 years. A lot has happened since then, including working on Detective Pikachu, so I wanted to update the formula a smidge. Look at my giant hairy child.

I just launched a Patreon to help support more of these Pokemon pieces. Please consider tossing in if you dig these and would like to see more. The PSD file for this and other cool extras are there too https://patreon.com/arvalis

Season 1 Jon: My terrible horrible assistants have been working very hard and  have found ample evidence that heavily implies this statement is true. However, the statement giver admits that they drank a margarita once at a college party three years before the event occurred, so… I have my doubts about whether or not this sort of thing could actually happen.

Season 4 Jon: I can’t really follow up on this statement because all of my assistants are either dead, actively avoiding me, or filled with a deep murderous hate for every particle of my being, however I am absolutely certain that this statement is true because the all-knowing, fear-eating being that I have to feed told me so.
