i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling

Ten inessential worldbuilding features for local communities in your fantasy RPG:

  1. A grievance or conflict of interest with a neighbouring community which the community's members feel much more strongly about than the issue's magnitude really warrants
  2. A substance or commodity important to everyday life with no local source, and the complicated and inconvenient arrangement the community has made to obtain it from outside sources
  3. A local practice or custom whose original motivation has been rendered obsolete by changing circumstances, and which is now carried forward out of tradition
  4. Something that's technically illegal, but everyone does it on the sly anyway, with enforcement of its illegality being reserved for people the community's leaders want to mess with for unrelated reasons
  5. An obscure piece of trivia or local history which the community's members regard as obvious and widely known, to the extent of treating outsiders with contempt for revealing their ignorance of it
  6. Some undertaking or realm of achievement in which the community isn't particularly exceptional, but which the community's members believe they're the best around at as a point of civic pride
  7. A mostly harmless thing that nobody talks about because its existence or some facet of its historical context is regarded as an embarrassment to the community
  8. A particular prank that's become traditional to play on visitors to the community, and which occasionally gets taken further than is strictly appropriate
  9. A specific area of the setting's history where what the community's members insist really happened is wildly at odds with the accepted version of events
  10. A genuinely dangerous circumstance that everyone treats with casual disregard because it's always been there, and only a damn fool would actually get hurt by it anyway

Combining them - a local extremely dangerous monster/cryptid that no one ever does anything about (10) because it follows certain Rules and anyone who doesn't deal with it properly frankly got what they deserved (5).

I'm from West Virginia. The mothman has official stats in Pathfinder. This is absolutely how we would handle things if it were real.

Yeah, 5+10 is always a fun combo. Other frequently entertaining ones include 1+6, 2+4 and 3+9.

So many boob drawers dont get it... its abt the weight. Its abt the sag and the tension. Sphere anime boobs frighten and scare me. Show me that thang is made of flesh n it has give. What is the FUCKING point of 'instead of shirt she has bandages/vines/ribbons to cover her modesty/make sure shes not just free swanging' if they're still gonna be perfectly spherical??? Show me the gravity, let me see the places where the bandages compress which squishes it on either side... u guys get what I mean

Oooooh.

Boob drawers, as in people who draw boobs, not boob drawers, as in chest of.

I was so confused.

Well boobs are stored on chests so the confusion is understandable

hello tumblr user. in front of you stands a confident and outspoken character. your challenge today & forever is to consider the possibility they may simply have self-confidence and are not just faking to secretly cover up massive insecurities. good luck

"the average fandom person cannot imagine a truly confident person" is a working theory I came up with years ago and every single day on this website my conclusion has proved more & more correct

As always, the Irish speak nothing but facts.

How many more innocent civilians have to be killed by Israel before you condemn that for it?

That is a genocide.

That this is a crime on all accounts.

And deserves to be punished to the full extent off the law.

the decline of practical effects in horror movies is one of the greatest tragedies of our time. we need to make horror wetter and more organic again.

a good horror film used to look like you could crawl into it and fuck it. they took that from us.

USPS was completely self-sustaining until 2006, when Congress inexplicably began requiring it to pre-fund retirement health benefits for all of its eligible employees and retirees, 75 years in advance. This unprecedented requirement cost USPS more than $5 billion per year for 16 years ... which is almost exactly the amount they were in debt.

And still, USPS maintains First Class mail delivery to every household in the country within 5 days for less than a dollar. No private carrier comes close to their price point (which USPS actually doesn't control), and many of them actually use USPS as their "last mile" carrier in rural areas where it's too costly for them to operate.
