yknow how the greener parts of apple skin are tan lines from where leaves and branches obscure the sun? I’m surprised I’ve never seen anyone utilize that for printmaking

[sabertoothwalrus]

finally got an apple that shows this effect well

[sabertoothwalrus]

OH THIS IS EXCELLENT THANK YOU

Got completely destroyed by Viola's Surskit in Pokemon X, and envisioning her battle dialogue was really funny to me. Like what is she getting out of this

[kiwymelody]

Perpetually fascinated with the reasons behind who learns Fake Out, and how clear it is why That One Cat gets it

i've searched every combination of words imaginable and i still can't find that gif of the german star trek parody where gay spock is quickly drinking coffee and smoking freaking out PLEASE send it to me i need it urgently

[lamphous]

matched set

[supermariomamafucker]

they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary

[justthesauce]

Warning: special interest initiated

English has SO many good words like these (although yes we always need more), if you're willing to do a spot of leg work. For example, in no particular order:

Charnel (adj): associated with death (from "charnel house:" a building where bodies/bones are piled)

Lachrymose (adj): prone to crying

Mawkish (adj): a slightly sickly flavor, or something that is feebly sentimental

Visceral (adj): relating to bodily organs (ie viscera)

Excoriate (v): to damage or remove skin, or to viciously criticize

Ossuary (n): a place where bones are stored

Oubliette (n): a dungeon where the only entrance/exit is a trapdoor in the ceiling

Amaranthine (adj): immortal, or a reddish pinkish color, or relating to amaranth (a plant)

Sanguine (adj): bloody, or a blood red color

[sanguine is also one of the four humors, but that's not what I'm talking about today]

Effluvia (n): a bad or harmful substance, secretion, or smell

Maudlin (adj): overly self pitying or sentimental

Sepulchre (n): a small tomb made of rock, like a monument or room

Putrefaction (n): decay

Atrophy (v): to waste away from misuse or neglect (commonly used to describe living muscles or bones)

Morass (n): a muddy or soupy area, or a particularly complicated and confusing situation

Necropolis (n): a large (usually ancient) cemetery

Apostasy (n): the renouncement of a belief (usually religious)

BONUS: a cemetery is different from a graveyard in that a graveyard has a church connected to it, while a cemetery does not

Neither of these are a boneyard, which actually doesn't have to do with bones, but disused or decommissioned machinery

She let me hit it because I solved her riddles three

[bobakett]

When my hot wrestler wife leaves me

[bobakett]

Oh wrong post

[cryptotheism]

No stay in this space with me

[headspace-hotel]

The whole “how the hell does this predatory creature get enough sustenance” thing that plagues fantasy and sci-fi occasionally gets so absurd it loops around into being funny, like the scene in Star Wars when the Millenium Falcon is flying through an asteroid field and gets swallowed by a worm.

I could complain about that, but I could also conclude that the supply of reckless space pilots flying into asteroid fields has been consistent enough for the past few million years for animals to evolve to prey upon them.

[headspace-hotel]

Who knows. Maybe there are enough adventuring parties roaming about the Forest of Doom to increase the available biomass at their trophic level in order to sustain tertiary consumers like giant spiderwolves...

[headspace-hotel]

“You’re going into the Catacombs? No one survives the Catacombs! Many an adventurer has tried!”

“Uh, how many have tried?”

“Enough to form an entire ecological niche for species specialized to prey upon them!”

“Oh. That, uhh, that is a lot.”

“Right? It’s pretty fascinating actually. I’m writing my thesis on it right now.”

noodle lost a front leg above the elbow when she was a kitten and its really cool to see the ways in which she's adapted; how she uses her stump to dig in the litterbox, or knows to keep it close to her body when she's stalking a toy so it wont hit the ground and make noise, or how her tail curves into a letter C because her center of balance is different. but most importantly, the fact that when she hunts her eyes favor her leg side, so they focus like this:

Owo

why does tumblr keep putting this month or two old post on my dash and saying “since you’ve been gone”

[supreme-leader-stoat]

It doesn’t want you to miss out on this lifehack.

[urbanfantasyinspiration]

This is brilliant and I wanna do this sober

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Right? Who doesn’t want giant nuggets?

[cina-full-moon-xanadium]

POV: You’re browsing your dash and I just logged on

[reversedumbrella]

i've just had a terrible idea

[reversedumbrella]

i present to you the mona lisa:

[reversedumbrella]

ok so, for the last few hours i've been making this code that organizes the colors in drawings:

(mostly @metukika's bc her works look really dope and i don't have many like that ;_;)

and these things feel like something that would be sold as a "deconstruction of classical paintings" like the "the kiss" by Klimt, "starry night" by Van Gogh or "Girl with a pearl earing" by vermeer

i can imagine going to an art gallery and finding stuff like this, made by someone who thinks they are so so smart

Worst part about this is I've only ever used that yellow square emoji once and it was just to see how it looked. This isn't who I am. However, in retrospect, I suppose it is

[teathattast]

Reading through the notes is a surreal experience please keep adding more to fuel my effervescent consumption of non descriptive emojis

[buzzlightyearhugecock]

observe.

[cactus-1776]

The fucking op name killed me

Something terrible happened here
