> Headcanon: Baby Khajit are often mistaken for kittens and small cats, so they would accidentally be adopted by loving humans, who soon freak out when the cat fucking talks back.

SO…

‘who ish the cutesht of them all??’

‘I am’

Now that would be a story for the ages.

Fun fact: Every form of feline in the Elder Scrolls series is actually a breed of Khajiit. Apparently what form of Khajiit you’re born as is defined by the cycle of the moons

OMG WHERE DID THIS CHART COME FROM ITS GREAT I LOVE IT

Well, not EVERY feline, there are cats who are genuiely cats. However, some khajiit really do resemble housecats. Other resemble tigers. And others resemble mer (bosmer, more specifically.)

TLDR: I love khajiits.

#what the fuck does this mean like your family can be like furry parents and then you’ve got a catgirl sibling and youre just a fucking tiger (x)

imagine being the oldest child but you’re a fucking housecat

The ones that look like ordinary housecats are naturally incredibly gifted with magic. Like, more powerful than Altmer. There are horror stories from people who tried to invade Elsweyr only to discover fireballs raining down on them from the highest branches of the trees, where even Bosmer can’t climb. Those really big ones meanwhile are referred to as “battlecats” and carry other warriors into combat. Every single one of them has at least human level intelligence.

And yeah which one you’re born as depends on the phases of the moons when you’re born, so a family will usually be a random scattering of types. Kind of like how the birthsigns work, except instead of ‘you run a little faster’ or ‘you have a little more magic’ the result is ‘you grow up to be a fucking tiger’.

There are reasons I really want the next elder scrolls game to be set in Elsweyr.

JUST. KEEP. ASKING.

retweet these. don’t let them shut you up. fight. bring this to the attention of everyone. 

REMINDER THAT MORE AND MORE LGBT+ TERMS ARE BEING ADDED TO THE AUTO FLAG LIST EVERY DAY! WHEN A VIDEO IS FLAGGED IT LOSES MONEY, BUT IT IS ALSO THEN THROTTLED FOR VIEWS SO PEOPLE DON’T SEE IT.

YOUTUBE IS LITERALLY ERASING GAY CONTENT.

If a video cannot meet the 1,000 views per week threshold required for manual review, then you have no chance of overturning YouTube’s autoflag system. 

YouTube telling creators to “please appeal if you think we got it wrong” does NOTHING to help smaller creators and older content that get less than 1,000 views a week.

This pisses me off so much

!!!!!! Screeeeeeeech!

Reblogging this up again, because we're so close to the funding goal, and there are several stretch goals I want to see make it. Like, ones I've already paid for to get.

Bootlicker tumblr found this post and I’m crying reading the notes on this post I’m sorry you have the sense of humor of wet bread

things got a little heated in the gc today

International Differences that turn into screaming matches of misdirected fury is one of my favorite genres of humor

Can we talk about how raw of a quote “When I kill God, I’ll make a law in the universe that makes every being put carrots on their sandwiches. … And you? You will eat sandwiches every day.” is

also people really seem to think that specifically children with adhd will suddenly become not distractable if you remove distractors like phones which is very much not the case lol they just zone out you idiots.

my parents did this with homework and i would sit there zoned out till 10 pm not doing shit because they turned the internet off

Neurotypical people tend to not understand that my ability to focus on something I’m not particularly motivated to do will increase tenfold if I can have a secondary task or background distraction with which to pair it. So, for example, if I’m in a boring meeting or have to listen to a webinar or something, my ability to stay tuned in to what’s being said will actually improve greatly if I’m simultaneously allowed to play a game or colour. Likewise, if I have a boring work project that involves inputting data into spreadsheets or something of that nature, I absolutely need to be able to listen to a podcast whilst I work. People think these sorts of things are signs of not being invested, but for me, it’s the difference between engagement and zoning out. 

Also see: why I need music to work.

Untitled Goose Game is really good because, whilst I hate being evil in video games, I love being a chaotic bastard in video games. Will I kill innocent people for no reason? No. Will I take a sandwich and throw it in the lake? You bet your ass I will.

im so fucking sick of the dysphoria debate. sam smith comes out as nonbinary and the comments are like “but do you experience dysphoria?????” like what makes you think you get to ask such a personal question? when someone comes out and tells you how they identify thats all you have to know. respect them and move on. the fuck is wrong with y’all

yre all ignoring this post bc yre fuckin cowards who dont want to admit asking a trans person who just came out “but do you have dysphoria?” is the SAME as cis people asking “but have you had the surgery”

DID YOU KNOW that proper pearl necklaces actually have knots between each pearl?

This is done to stop the pearls from rubbing up against each other, potentially causing damage and discolouration to each bead, and also so that if the string breaks it’s unlikely that any more than one or two pearls will fall off the string. Pearl necklaces (and bracelets, for that matter) need re-stringing regularly, to make sure that the string isn’t stretched, frayed, or otherwise damaged, which would put the necklace at risk of breaking, and when they are re-stringed properly, new knots are always tied between each pearl.

This post brought to you by the stop making pearls scatter everywhere whenever you break a fancy lady’s necklace when murdering her, thriller writers, all you’re doing is revealing she was wearing shitty plastic beads gang

I love when previously neutral third person omniscient narration just utterly rips into a character for no apparent reason.

Some facts you might not know about Alan Turing

I have just finished reading Alan Turing’s biography (written by Andrew Hodges) and I wrote down some interesting/cute/amazing/nerdy facts about Alan:

• Alan taught himself to read, but was quicker to recognise figures, and he had an infuriating habit of stopping at every lamppost to identify its serial number • on picnic with his family, he wanted to gather the wild bee’s honey and observed the bees’ flightpaths to locate the nest • he hated games at school, and he later said that the necessity of avoiding the ball in hockey had taught him to run fast • his father loved literature and was pleased when Alan told him he liked one line from Hamlet - only to learn that it was the last line: “Exeunt, bearing off the bodies…” • his first friend at school was Christopher, who he first met in 1927, and he was struck by him and “wanted to look again at his face, as he felt so attracted” • during what Alan said was the happiest week of his life, he, Chris, and a friend went to the cinema and on the way back Alan wanted to test how much Chris wanted his company, so he hung back and then Chris “beckoned to me (mostly with his eyes) to walk beside me” • he made a star globe out of a lampshade and woke up at 4am to look at the night sky • in Chris’ memory, his family founded a prize which Alan won • at Christmas 1934 Alan asked for a teddy bear because he never had one as a little boy - he got one and it was called Porgy • when Alan was at Princeton in the US he complained in a letter that he didn’t like “the way they speak”, “the impossibility of getting a bath” and “their ideas on room temperature” • Alan liked to chant the couplet “Dip the apple in the brew, let the Sleeping Death seep through” from Disney’s Snow White over and over again • he broke up with Joan by reciting the closing lines of Oscar Wilde’s “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” • he didn’t like the sight of blood and even once fainted when he grazed himself shaving • he was an avid long-distance runner • he wrote a short story about a gay man named Alec, but only three pages survived • Alan died on 7 June 1954, most likely by committing suicide; the cause of death was cyanide poisoning (next to his bed was half an apple which might have been dipped in cyanide)

Some of my favorite fun facts about Alan Turing

It’s awkward when people ask me “Is this snake venomous?” about little rear-fanged colubrids like garter, hognose, and ring-neck snakes because, on one hand, they do technically produce venom... but that venom is virtually inconsequential to humans even when they do manage to break the skin. Their saliva has venom in it but you probably wouldn’t even know it unless you were studying its chemical makeup.

Much easier to say they’re harmless.

Next time just tell them technically speaking a cat is venomous and ask them if that was really the question they wanted to ask.

Cats aren’t venomous—they don’t produce and inject toxins. They do, however, have lots of bacteria in their mouths and lots of sharp, curved teeth that make it very easy for that bacteria to get into your flesh and cause bad infections. Chemically speaking, that’s not the same as venom.

Garter snakes have bacteria in their mouths just like any other animal and bites can cause infections, but they also produce neurotoxic venom that they inject with their fangs. The venom is so mild that it only causes maybe a little temporary itching or swelling in humans, and the fangs are so small and placed so far back in their mouths that it’s very difficult for them to successfully bite and envenomate humans at all. We didn’t know they were venomous at all until about twenty years ago.

People ask “are they venomous?” from a place of fear, usually—they want to know if they should worry about their kids and pets encountering them. “No” would be untrue but “yes” would be misleading, but they usually don’t want to anxiously wait through a Well, Technically explanation.

Try “yeah, but it’s like a bee sting” or something similar

Bee stings can be a big deal for some people. Typically I say “they’re harmless” or “they’re only venomous if you’re a tiny mouse”.

like daddy long legs!

The arachnids I usually see called “daddy longlegs” are opiliones/harvestmen, which look like Q-tips with long spindly legs that always walk around on your tent or picnic blanket. They aren’t spiders and don’t actually have any venom glands at all.

Common cellar spiders are also called “daddy longlegs”, and while, like almost all true spiders, they do have venom, their fangs are small and weak and their venom isn’t potent enough to cause harm to a human. Instead, they sometimes hunt and kill other spiders that are of medical significance.

What do you mean they aren’t spiders???

“Arachnid” is the class of arthropods that spiders, scorpions, and a few other orders belong to. Opiliones/harvestmen/daddy longlegs aren’t spiders, but they look superficially similar to them. Unlike spiders, they don’t have fangs, venom, or silk glands, and their thorax and abdomen are fused together into one cute little pod-shaped body with eyes on top.

Cellar spiders are spiders. They can make silk, have venom, and have an obviously separated thorax and abdomen. They don’t bother people apart from spinning webs in annoying places inside your house, but they are spiders.

Some visual references to help people who might be confused. If your daddy long legs look like this:

They are harvestmen (AKA opiliones), which are not spiders and not venomous. Fun fact though, they actually have tiny pincers near their mouths that they use to catch their food!

If your daddy long legs look like this:

They are cellar spiders (AKA pholcids), which are true spiders and are venomous, but their venom is completely harmless to humans.

Both are very helpful around the house so please be kind to them!

little baby… i’m taking u home with me

If you need an English Lit degree to pick up on the fact that a character in modern media is gay, it's bad representation.
