moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!
An image of a fully armored knight wtih a surcoat and six blazing wings stands center frame. Flames and sparks and leaping off the wings and the knight's helmet and surcoat. The knight's left hand is held out in an offeratory position to the viewer. The knight's helmet glows from within, white along the visor and beneath the colors of the trans flag glow through openings in the lower face guard. A word bubble from the knight reads as follows: Be afraid if you must. But BE.
Hey folks guess who commissioned new art completely forgetting what yesterday was? That's right it's this fire.
Anyway, happy belated #TDOV
I hope, like me, you continue to be, even in a world that elicts fear.

Like, you can't think of ANY other options? Really??? *None*??? What did you do before you had AI and you ran into this problem?
And I know the answer is "bc it's less work for them, humans love the easy out" but there are TRULY no upsides to using it
Talking to people about why I don't use AI and have concerns about it always results in the other person saying some variation of "But you don't understand! I *HAD* to use it! I'd tried nothing and was all out of ideas!" and it makes me want to SCREAM
Barbarian sounds so much less cool when you realize it's just ancient greek for "blahblahbian"
For a second playthrough, make me an ancient crone. The game of keeping me alive clearly won't be difficult enough for you otherwise
Alright, try not to kill me first i guess
anyway, based on this clearly very large and robust sample size that is definitely indicative of larger populations, we can conclude that orange = human-friendly, but when paired with the x chromosome or white gene, it's coupled with assholery. totally how genetics work, trust me, i'm a historian
TUXEDO dark orange cats alternate between being assholes and sweet cuddle bugs. There's no in-between. The one tuxedo light orange cat I know is an exception. He's actually a himbo. Completely brainless. Sweetest boy on planet earth. Except he also likes attacking feet, so kind of an asshole too
FEMALE all-orange cats are not himbos AT ALL. The one I've met was a butthead (affectionate) and the queen of the house, so clearly that definitely applies to all female all-orange cats too
Male all-orange cats are *extremely* people friendly. Of the 5 male all-oranges I know, 3 of them are really mean to other cats. 2 of them waffle between being neutral and great with other cats, so it's kind of a 50/50 crapshoot
I have lived with 5 orange cats (not simultaneously) and have extensive experience with 3 others, so I can say with some confidence that the himbo-ness of orange cats is overstated
Podcast where hosts play and review mobile games (and no, not just the good ones)
A podcast where the hosts talk about their current media hyperfixation, but they don't say what it is, and they have to be vague enough about it that the other host could conceivably believe they're talking about the same IP
A podcast where certain words are banned from being said (an extended game of taboo)
It's fine to just not like musicals, that I have no issues with, it's the nitpicking about the singing that bugs me. Do people truly just lack that much joy in their hearts that they can't imagine that sometimes people just wanna sing?
idk, if ppl can wrap their heads around title screens & soundtracks & the lack of functional bathroom spaces in movies (to say nothing of dragons, magic powers, space ships, etc.), there's no reason to get hung up on the singing part
The numbers in a musical are providing the soundtrack AND the internal monologues of the characters AND the external dialogue of the scene all at the same time. They're multi-tasking to fit more story into a limited amount of time. They're a bit like a montage, honestly
"I don't like musicals bc I don't get why everyone's bursting into song all the time" so do you just not watch movies unless they have 100% diegetic soundtracks or...?
Take a nap, you loser
Really underestimated how much of adult life was going to be explaining the same thing over and over again to different people, bc something *I* think of as a very basic concept is not that
My favorite meal to make when I'm depressed is (perhaps weirdly) risotto. Bc there's not a lot of other meals you can make that give you a legitimate excuse to stand there and stare at the wall for 30min straight. The only real prep is grating cheese & boiling stock, and then it's just
-holds up Lestat like he's an angry, feral cat- Your honor, I love him, he's a petty little bitch who has has done every single thing wrong since he took his last breath, but is that REALLY any reason to punish the man?
You do not need to know anything about the setting to join, as it's gonna be a more relaxed place in terms of the canon. All you need to know is: Dragons, misfits and exiles, and a hidden community is on the brink of being rediscovered. Whether they want to be or not
Hey all, I'm hosting a text-based rpg set in the Dragonriders of Pern series. The site officially opens in less than 2 weeks, but now is a great time to join just to get familiar with the setting: knollweyr.jcink.net
My "What You Need To Know About Tear Gas" thread:
First, tear gas is a particulate, not an actual vapor or gas. In some cases, this means you can get some of the tear gas off your clothes by standing in a stiff breeze or strong fan.
