I’m Lully. I write angst. If anyone wants to request anything, there is a good chance I will write about it (if it is something im interested in). I love interacting with people who make comment or have notes in the reblogs but sometimes it takes me a bit to get that social energy juice. I hope you like the garbage I put out :)

Squidward only ever makes artwork based off his visage, it's all very surface level and lacks any emotional depth
Squidward should start making artwork based on how Squidward feels and not how Squidward looks yknow? I feel like he's experimented plenty with self portraits, but none of them really say much about Squidward as a person yknow
got drunk last night and got really emotional over Squidward's potential and how much he holds himself back
this is what i'd do if i met the person who invented the word viscera
I've got hiccups which is incredibly annoying but it does mean that every 4 seconds or so I'm reminded to think about fish evolution which is pretty cool.
Please talk about fish evolution and how it relates to hiccups I am SO curious
Okay so the thing about hiccups is that you have them by default. There's a special region in the brain that suppresses hiccups. "Yes hiccups" is the default. "No hiccups" was an ad-hoc addition.
Why?! Why would your body want to hiccup by default? what purpose does that serve? Well, none, for you. But it was very, very important for your ancestors.
Hiccups are a fish reflex. They're a remnant of the convulsion that fish automatically perform to pull water over their gills. When this system was repurposed for lungs, we eventually evolved a workaround that tells the gill twitch not to fire any more. When this fails, boom. Hiccups.
It's just your fish nervous system trying to be a fucking fish again.
auauauouauagaghh cuddling a girl for the first time in 23 years has me feeling like well loved garfield I'm like this tonight
I need UK journalists to not show 43 degrees is not beach weather like people are gonna die
Americans do not interact
Im Australian, and 43C is NOT beach weather. That is VERY hot, even for us, but for the UK its apocalyptic. At 43C you should not even be going outside if you can help it, treating it like beach weather is a one way ticket to heatstroke.
I agree with not going outside for long periods of time but you will have to plan something to reduce the heat within your households. Especially if your house is designed to retain heat
Fans pointed at open windows will pull out hot air and allow it to circulate - don't put them IN the window, leave some room by the side for extra air to get drawn in.
If you can't afford cold packs (and if you can, stock up on some NOW), get some ziplock bags and freeze them, with wet washcloths or ripped up towel inside. You want them to be ready in the freezer when you need them. Wrap them in a tea towel and put them on your wrists and ankles.
A big bowl of ice water in front of a fan will blow cold air into the room and make a massive difference. Again, if you don't have ice cube trays get some and freeze them *now*, don't wait until you're already in trouble (although I am melting at quarter past nine but my thermoregulation is bollocks so I don't know if that's the heat or just the me). If you can't afford to get any, clean out empty yoghurt pots or Tupperware or whatever you have that can hold water. Even if you end up with a giant ice cube from a lunchbox, it'll help.
Even just opening two windows at a crack will allow some air circulation - I sometimes prop open my bedroom door and leave the bathroom door open, both windows are locked at a crack because of the cats but it creates a nice little line of wind along the landing.
If you're someone who needs something on them to sleep, take your duvet out of the cover and just use the cover.
Remember that water acts as a lens - you do NOT want to wear a wet t shirt in the burning sun. I did this when I was 8 and if I tan on my back you can still see the scars.
Read the instructions for sunscreen carefully, and use the highest spf you can find. Reapply as per the instructions. If you get burned, Malibu do an amazing aloe-based spray on after sun, I got mine from Savers for 3 quid and it lasts ages. I keep it and any other after sun in the fridge, which means it's incredibly lovely to put on. Aloe is magic for burns so definitely gravitate towards that if you can. My son got badly burned (he's ginger, he went to an outdoor pool and they forgot to give him sunscreen) and he's had 2 helpings of it and you wouldn't believe how much better he is (he couldn't even really wear a shirt).
Make sure your pets have plenty of fresh cold water to drink, and if they usually have dry food consider giving them some wet food for one of their meals (cats are notoriously not always great drinkers but wet food will get them some liquid). Keep the curtains and/or blinds closed in south-facing rooms. I have blackout curtains in the front room and the front bedroom (my son's) and they make a MASSIVE difference to the heat. Make sure pets have access to these cooler spaces if you can create them.
Keep oven/hob use to a minimum if you can. I like making a massive pot of something that can be reheated in the microwave if necessary - the oven especially adds a lot of heat. Or get some wraps and ham and cheese and eat those.
Cordial or fruit juice can be better than water if you're sweating a lot. Cordial is cheap as chips. Salty snacks are also good.
Go to Iceland and buy a billion lolly ices. It's especially a good way to make sure kids stay hydrated.
I realize op asked for Americans not to interact, and whether or not they're being cheeky, I feel obligated to reblog this to save lives.
That temperature is absolutely murder, even moreso with humidity.
Please, be safe and stay hydrated!
For reference, 43 degrees celsius is roughly equivalent to 109.4 degrees fahrenheit. That’s bad.
This is nearly DOUBLE the typical average temperature of the UK. I don't care if you grew up in Satan's asshole, if you woke up one day and it was twice as hot as it usually is, you're gonna have a bad fucking time. The infrastructure is not built for 40+ degrees, and with the government doing... The thing it's doing, I doubt they're gonna even bother to help people, so people need to see things like this post to be able to help each other instead.
Heads up UK folks, we're looking at hitting 40°C again in about two weeks. Now's a great time to prepare however you can, figure out what you can do to make things more bearable
Putting a wet tea towel in the freezer for 20 minutes (in a freezer bag so it didn't stick to anything) then tying it to my wrists/ankles helped a lot last year, so I'll share this post in the run up in case it helps anyone else
Keep an eye out for people struggling, including yourself
For people with latex sensitivities: aloe contains a natural latex, so do not use it on any burns you may get during this, it'll just feel worse
I know they said Americans do not interact but also know what to do if the power goes out (because odds are high the power will go out if you have so many people stressing the grid trying to run electric coolers, fans, hvac, etc).
I'm speaking from experience in the CA central valley where our summer temps are over 100 for weeks at a time and I personally don't have AC so I have to manage this with a small child under 5 and an elderly adult over 60. My indoor temp easily exceeds 95 most days where it's over 100. Additionally, I am aware that my heat is dry and the UKs is wet. Still. If this may help, then I'm sharing.
When the power goes out your indoor temp is going to go up you have to make sure you know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion first and foremost because it can creep on you without noticing when you aren't actively burning in the sun.
Sip water constantly, don't glug.
Open windows on opposite ends of your home where they'll make a cross breeze. Keep the rest dark by covering them with heavy curtains, but even tinfoil will work. If the heat is on the dry side, soak towels in cold water and hang them in the doorway. Not one towel stretched across but multiple towels hanging straight. Like this but not so cramped together so air can flow through:
This is more effective then just a bowl of water in front of the window, but they'll dry out fast so you'll need to resoak several times probably. I like to hang them with a trouser hanger one towel clipped to each side.
Take as many cold showers as you want and quite frankly if you can wear no clothes in your home, then don't. The difference between a tank top and no top is leagues.
Put wet towels on your skin if you don't want to shower. It'll help cool you.
Don't do anything you don't absolutely need to.
As soon as it's dark open all of the windows and doors to let the heat out of your home and leave them open as long as possible even all night if you can. Also if you live in a home with lots of concrete outside any if your doors, as soon as the sun is setting and you can open up the home fully hose down the cement. This will cool down the immediate outside of your doors and provide a similar effect to the bowl of water in the window trick.
Most of all if you or anyone you're caring for is starting to exhibit signs of heat exhaustion and you cannot get them cooled off seek IMMEDIATE medical attention. The line between heat exhaustion and heat stroke is thin and heat stroke can very quickly become fatal.
i had three fic ideas. wrote one. i still have three fic ideas. this is not how math is supposed to work.
can this post please back up it’s too close to home
I had five ideas, I wrote two, now I have seven
Listen. They’re called “plot bunnies” for a reason, and it’s not just because they hop around all over your brain demanding attention.

For anyone who ever asked me where ideas come from. They creep in and breed when you’re making something else.
I dreamed that I was playing mariokart and there was a track that took 3 days to complete and when I somehow managed to get 1st place a popup came onscreen that had a pic of koopa troopa and text that read “congratulations!! you’re gonna have so much sex” and I started laughing so hard I woke up
It’s so fucked up how tiktok culture has made clout-poisoned people turn the public into content, every day I see people minding their business have their entire faces put online for thousands of likes, a couple kissing on the train, a lady dancing across a cross walk, a guy nodding his head to the music at a club, a lady buying a banana at the store, ring camera footage of the neighbors kids being stupid. Just let people live jfc
I think I may have made it seem like this is about wholesome content (which my sentiment towards that is the same) but most of the time when I see this stuff people are being ridiculed for being completely normal. And I didn’t make up any of these examples btw, I couldn’t find the dance one but only because there are too many videos of people being recorded at cross walks
(Faces censored and additional text added by me)
Im gonna add this to every post about this i see im never gonna shut up about it. This will get people killed. This will ruin lives. More people live in hiding than you think. So many people are one post away from having to abandon their whole lives. Dont ever post anything of anyone without their consent, stranger or not.
I am a photographer. It is my job to go into schools and take candid photos for the yearbook.
The number of kids that are on a 'do not photograph' list isn't large, but it is a non-zero number. If that kid is even out of focus in the background, we do not use that photo.
If a child shows even the tiniest bit upset that there's a person in the room with a camera, I do not take their photo.
At pop culture conventions, I ask people if I can take their photo. Or if I take a candid of them, I track them down and give them my info and get th3ir consent before posting.
At events like parties, concerts, performances, consent is generally implied because these are photographed events, but if an attendee approaches me and tells me to crop them out then I crop them out.
This makes street photography tedious, but I learned in my very first job as a camp counselor that people have very good reasons for not wanting their photo publicized. There are kids in the foster system with abusive parents. There are adults with stalkers. There are people who might be a witness to a crime.
Even outside of this- I've seen how private persons become memes against their will just by going out in public. Some people are super not normal about meme fame.
Leave people alone. The world is complicated. Make your own content.
is it okay if my 12 yr old little brother asks you something??
yo your brother kind of sucks
oh you're in a horror film/book and your phone died/has no bars? how boring. I think phones in horror SHOULD work. they should ding only to have the protagonist check and find nothing. they should get calls from somebody you don't know but is still somehow in your contacts. google maps should lead you to one place, no matter what address you type in.
phones are such a big part of our daily lives, removing them from horror removes the horror from our experience. what if the horror felt like it could happen to you, right here, right now? what if it felt like it was already happening?
call 911 and something that is definitely not a person picks up.
call 911 and get an operator only for the call to become increasingly weirder and more sinister until you realize that whatever picked up is not there to help.
text messages from someone who's dead. voicemails that sound like dead air until you turn the volume all the way up.
emergency alerts for weather that doesn't happen on earth.
Your phone rings - but it's your phone number on the screen. You answer it, but all you hear is heavy, laboured breathing. You go to say something, only to hear your voice on the other end tell you "It's too late," and hang up.
You get a message from a number you don't recognise. It's a picture of you from behind. You turn and see there's nobody there. When you look back at your phone, you see the sender has sent another text - "Sorry, wrong number."
Your phone rings - it's a private number. You answer it, only to feel the sensation of something licking your ear.
You wake up to find a voicemail. You play it back, only to hear an autotuned version of your own voice reciting a Bible passage - 1 Peter 2: 18-20.
You get an emergency alert. It says "I'm sorry."
you have to listen to loud music . it scares the evil creatures from your head
bonus : without any of the evil creatures left , you can hear the song of the angels more clearly (tinnitus)

i'm so nervous about eating other peoples' snacks in their house. they could have a whole cupboard full of snacks and i would be too afraid to eat any of it because what if i accidentally eat a bag of someone's special flavored doritos and it's their favorite flavor ever and they stopped making it and they're also never going to make it again and i've ruined their life now
you have to feed me. like a baby bird
Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust
i get kidnapped by a rich creep and he does the whole "have dinner with me wearing this specific dress (or die)" thing and i'm like okay lol let's see the dress and it turns out the dress doesn't fit me because the loser just thought he could grab any old low-cut red dress off the rack because he's a man and so i have to explain that there are very very few dresses that actually fit my weird proportions and so we take the fancy dinner to go and spend four hours dress shopping and then sometime around dress #27 i make my daring escape and he doesn't even bother to pursue me because he's so tired of shopping
bargain basement shit tier creep doesn't even know your measurements from watching you in his van for months, this is a red flag ladies!!! 😫❌🚨🚨🚨💅
