Literally any other colour would’ve been a better choice guys.

I’d like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings.

im sorry but this reply absolutely killed me

red can mean whatever the heck you want it to mean, that is never going to change that this straight up looks like they DRAGGED A BLOODY BODY ACROSS THE FUCKING FLOOR 😂

Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Red does has more positive connotations than negative like the @mintymaiden said. Red is associated with more love, lust, passion than blood and death just like the chart shows you but If you want, here’s a link for you to check it out yourself. Also, check out “The Designer’s Dictionary of Color” by Sean Adams. Have fun learning something

I think y’all are missing the point here.

You can theorize to Nebraska and back but that doesn’t change my immediate reaction which is that someone is literally dragging a corpse around

I like that the presumption here is that “No One On Tumblr Has Heard of Color Theory, Let Me Explain in Depth” rather than simply acknowledging that the VISUAL EFFECTS of this particular color choice, applied in the manner it was, can still amount to “this is a hospital and that looks like blood”

like, color theory doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If your design of choice for Blood Red Paint is asymmetric splatters and sploches against the wall, or in this case, a snail trail on the hallway’s floor, an infographic won’t override the viewers’ instinct.

this post is the perfect summation of tumblr’s reading comprehension and critical thought abilities

IT'S THE ORIGINAL POST

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

For a while now I've been wanting to try painting over the Pillars of Creation photo taken by the Webb telescope.

When I was a kid I thought the earlier version looked like a bunch of dragons racing to the sky, and I think the new pic looks even more like it, so, here they are~

For reference, same crop of the photo down here:

[Image 1: Photo of the three golden Pillars of Creation, a section of the Eagle Nebula, in front of a blue and white starscape. The tops of the pillars have been seamlessly painted over to give them the appearance of dragon heads with glowing eyes and open mouths.

Image 2: The same photo of the nebula, sans heads. End ID.]

Weird Dice Wednesday

I believe they’re still around, and have other lines of dice as well, but at the time I got this die (and a few others of theirs), Crystal Caste was known for one thing: they made polyhedral dice that were a different shape than the standard ones. I believe that’s something other companies do now too, but this was a while ago — I bought them because of a print ad in Dragon Magazine, to give you an idea of the era. Most of the neat little crystal-shaped dice are great; they roll well and look cool. The d4 is actually more intuitive than the caltrop-style ones we’ve all seen. It’s a little harder to distinguish between them because they’re all roughly the same shape, but you get used to it.

But the d20… well, it was pretty much immediately banned from our table. (Okay, “table” is talking it up, I got this when I was a kid and my sibling & I usually just sat on the basement floor for games.) Twenty thin, wedge-shaped sides make it less of a crystal and more of a cylinder. When you roll it, it just keeps going, and when/if it stops, you have to look close to see what side is uppermost. I think it’s pretty unambiguous, but my sibling and our friend C insisted there was too much room for interpretation. The other crystal dice were neat, and I think I still have most of them somewhere, but the d20 is virtually unusable.

I genuinely don’t remember where it came from, and I’ve yet to find a use for it, but here’s a d60. And a d30 of the same design next to it for reference.

(Yes, they move when you roll them)

@tiwaztyrsfist: Hey, here's some stuff for weird dice Wednesday.

@lost-addict: Yall still looking for dumb dice? I have a d60

Drawn while listening to @riverdude9074‘s covers for the nth time because JJBA is still rotting my brain.

THAT’S WHERE IT WENT!

Thank you, I remembered reading something with that premise, but I couldn’t find it for the life of me. @copperpatina, hi!

i wish i was just a little surprised that londoners decided it was appropriate to nickname an iconic skyscraper after a goddamn pickle

I wouldn’t go so far as to say we were all having a good day, but my experience existing in this timeline was significantly superior 10 seconds ago when I hadn’t seen this

we called a revolutionary skyscraper with an inverted facade a fucking walkie talkie what did you expect from us

“revolutionary skyscraper”

THIS DUMB FUCK MELTED CARS! IT’S NICKNAMED THE DEATH RAY! IT CREATES WIND TUNNELS THAT KNOCK DOWN PEDESTRIANS! IT WON AN ACTUAL TROPHY FOR BEING “BRITAIN’S WORST BUILDING” DON’T REVOLUTIONARY SKYSCRAPER ME

i’m so ticked off with london actually. they have a building nicknamed the CHEESEGRATER for obvious reasons, another named the SHARD OF GLASS bc it’s fucking pointy

AND THEIR CITY HALL IS A FUCKED UP CHICKEN EGG

the gherkin’s full name is actually ‘the erotic gherkin’, for obvious reasons.
