Cooking horror game where you play as a cook working in the galley of a ship in the 1800s. There’s some kind of supernatural nautical horror story going on in the background but you barely notice this because you spend all day cooking in the galley.
I could not stop thinking about this. The only cue you get is the ingredients keep getting more and more unnerving, and like the prep you have to do to make the food gets more and more elaborate??? GIMEE THE GAME.
Yes, but what a shame, what a shame the poor groom’s bride is
uh… Thor?
Some people will have no fucking idea how funny this is if they haven’t heard the story.
It is a LITERAL thousand-year-old myth that once, when a giant stole Mjolnir to force Freya to marry him, Thor somewhat successfully impersonated the goddess of love and beauty (with Loki as his lovely handmaiden full of excuses as to why she ate an entire ox at dinner) and participated in a fake wedding to get it back.
Please observe Freya’s chariot cats supervising the whole thing going “Gods are so dumb this will never work.”
Look at Loki helping in this version–he looks so excited!
Hemsworth and Hiddleston would have been so down to portray this
We were robbed of this scene and I feel it in my blood.
The best thing about this story is that Thor really doesn’t try, at all.
Like he puts on the dress, he keeps his mouth shut, but that is where his contributions to keeping up this ruse end.
Loki is the one who has to come up with an explanation for why the blushing bride has just finished off half the banqueting table and washed it down with four full barrels of mead (“Freyja was so excited for the ceremony, she hasn’t eaten in a week!”) and, when the groom takes a peek under the veil, why she’s glaring at him with such clear murder in her eyes (“she’s er… tired. Like super super tired. Hasn’t slept in a week.”).
Thor barely restrains himself from slaughtering everyone in the room until his hammer comes out, and then he grabs it and uses it to slaughter everyone in the room.
Depending on how you read the scene he’s either genuinely unaware of how women are meant to act (or potentially too Masculine to restrain himself) or he’s just so full of contempt for Loki’s plan that he refuses to put in more than the very bare minimum.
Or Freyja is Just Like That and Thor thinks he is doing a particularly good job impersonating her - she is a war goddess after all.
Reblogging for that last addition - I’d never thought of that but now that you mention it I wholeheartedly believe it.
Especially after Thor and Loki proposed that she just marry the giant, she apparently flipped out at them and they immediately had to back off like “okay nope plan B!”
Thor is probably patting himself on the back for portraying Freya’s normal expression so accurately.
The vibe I get is that as much as Pratchett hated hereditary monarchy, he did love the fairytale concept of nobility, so he’d have a bunch of characters who fill the role of good and noble royalty before he’d stop the plot and go “But they aren’t the king because of herrydeterry. It’s important to me that you know that.”
Low kingship amongst the dwarves is an elected position. Being Diamond King of Trolls is heavily implied to be a genetic quirk that gets thrown up at random once a century. Carrot is the rightwise king of Ankh-Morpork, is naturally noble and kind and good and born to be the kind of king who’d rule under an oak tree, and he abstains. The only traditional hereditary monarch I can think of is Verence, who’s a sweet and pathetic wet rat of a man who’s only kept as king out of politeness, and he wasn’t even the actual heir to the throne.
This is all to say that I’d like to think that when he was invited to be knighted, he agreed to do so less out of deference to the royal family and more out of the spirit of “Cheerio crackers Gromit I want to be a knight like my good friend Aragorn”
What haunts me about this post is that I know for a fact Neil Gaiman has liked it. This haunts me. The only thing Neil Gaiman has seen me make is a post where I have Terry Pratchett talk like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit
When Azi finally upgrades his computer it will be to like Windows 95 :).
I’m still so proud of his opening hours notice.
woah dude….. your hurt sound is vaguely sexual….. im trying to kill you but im. im getting a bit flustered
who is leon dbd
ok i looked up leon dead by daylight and omfg why does he… wh…. why does he sound like that
this literally is not an exaggeration
https://youtu.be/mGUJlJGimJY
The comments on the YT video are also hilarious
More comments that made me laugh:
It’s also worth noting that Leon’s VA for dbd Riley McShane knew exactly what he was doing.
I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.
The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”
1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.
Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.
It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.
RATING: RELIABLE
you can listen to the clip of the 1954 interview here and find him on wikipedia here
The wizards said the orangutan would be able to lead them back to the dungeon in a couple days.
What a sentence, Chilchuck thought. It seemed to him that he’d been saying a lot of things with full sincerity that weeks ago would’ve been total gibbering nonsense.
The others had wandered off into the city like tourists. Laios was spending the day in some kind of pet shelter for dragons. Senshi had mentioned bringing Izutsumi to check out the local dwarven cooking. Rats were apparently involved, to his total lack of surprise.
He had decided to hole up in the nearest bar that would accept a fistful of foreign coins. He was at the stage of buzz that felt as though someone was wrapping a woollen blanket around his head, and it was loosening his tongue.
“And he’s a good kid,” he was saying. “He’s a good kid, he’s even a good fighter, but he’s got all the social skills of a dead donkey. This is a guy who hears that he has to eat part of his sister, and the first thing he says is-”
THE EGG IS PLACED ON TOP OF THE BACON?
He paused mid-ramble and blinked stickily at the stranger seated next to him. “Sorry?”
WHAT STRUCTURAL SUPPORT DOES THE BACON OFFER THE EGG?
He blinked again. “It’s for,” he tried. “You know. So you can eat the egg and bacon at the same time.”
INSTEAD OF CONSUMING THE ELEMENTS OF THE BREAKFAST SEPARATELY.
“Right.”
BUT IN THIS EXERCISE, YOU WISH TO REMOVE THE EGG FROM THE BACON.
“Right — right! The idea is if we take away the half of Falin that’s a dragon, we can resurrect the human half of her.”
THUS UNFRYING THE EGG.
He screwed an eye shut and tried to make out the face of the stranger through the three images swirling in the hot, lightheaded haze. It looked like a very skinny face.
“I’m starting to lose the food metaphor,” he mumbled. “My point is, the further we go to fix this problem, the worse it gets. And it’s not that i have a problem with resurrection — have you ever been resurrected?”
NO, BUT I HAVE BEEN WITNESS TO PART OF IT.
“Some people are weird about it. Senshi’s weird about it too, but he’s the one who suggested it. Anyways, it’s not that I have a problem with resurrection, I just don’t like the idea of eating an old coworker.”
Another sentence that would have been nonsense barely a week ago. He tried to shrug and missed. “I guess they say, ‘Eat to live, don’t live to eat.’”
A STRANGE THING TO SAY. A PARADOX OF SOME KIND, I’M SURE.
He was beginning to feel a slight headache. “No, it means, like — treat food as a fuel, a necessity, don’t get fussy about the experience of eating it.”
THEY ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. The stranger plucked a paper umbrella out of their drink. They twirled it thoughtfully between very skinny fingers. I WOULD RECOMMEND A CURRY, they said. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN FOND OF A CURRY.
YOUR FRIEND HAS MANY IDEAS ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURE OF BACON, Death said.
“Uh,” said Marcille — wizards on the Discworld always see what’s really there. This is true even when they’re tourists.
I HAD HOPED TO SPEAK TO HIM ABOUT THE DUNGEON. I HAVE AN INTEREST IN PLACES WHERE ME AND MINE ARE NOT ALLOWED.
“Uh.”
THERE IS A TOWER FILLED WITH TEETH.
“Uh.”
I SUSPECT THIS DUNGEON IS SIMILAR.
Death handed over the recumbent bundle of Chilchuck he had been cradling. MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS ON GOOD TERMS WITH THE OH GOD OF HANGOVERS, he said. I WILL PUT IN A WORD FOR HIS SAKE.
@ltwilliammowett have you seen this?
#the painting is Rembrandt's storm on the sea of galilee#which is part of what makes this so cool to me!#the original was stolen in the 90s and has never been recovered#so this is one of the only ways you can even experience seeing it (tags via @profmeowmers)
A gif for Mermay!
This gif actually, literally made me laugh out loud and send it to every group chat I’m in just to get yelled at. Thank you.
I checked the notes looking for these exact frames and was not disappointed.

In 1970, my mother's family adopted an intellectually disabled man named Horace. Horace was 56, and had been in an institution since 1921.
My uncle, who was 19, was working as an orderly at the institution where Horace lived. He only stayed a few months as the abuse he witnessed was too much for him. He had become friends with Horace and told him "I'll come back for you."
Horace replied "They all say that."
By that Christmas, Horace lived with my uncle and his family. My grandparents did the official adoption. Horace had never seen a Christmas tree, and that was his first real Christmas.
Horace died in 2010, at the age of 96. He laid down for a nap and just slipped away.
At least two generations of children grew up with him. He felt immortal to us. He loved Hot Wheels, pizza, cartoons and to talk to the portrait of my grandparents as he sat in his rocking chair.
He knew everyone's birthday. He loved unconditionally.
He had scars on his back from the institutions. If you asked him about that place, his face would screw up and he'd say "oh, it was a bad place. Bad place."
And for 40 years, he was safe, loved, and happy. He loved us in return.
No point to sharing this. But I still miss his laugh as he held a conversation with a portrait, whispering about his day to the people who had helped rescue him.

//MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS - HERE IS THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING THAT RIGHT WORD!!!!!
I’ve reblogged it before, and I’ll reblog it again
again….reblogging to save a writers life 🤒
ur welcome writers.
Rebloging for my self and other writers ,this is really helpful :)
Awesome
hot take:
Gloin is the sexiest dwarf by dwarf standards.
Kili is the sexiest dwarf by elf standards.
Thorin is the sexiest dwarf by human standards
& Bombur is the sexiest dwarf by hobbit standards
#ITS TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT #(ALSO THORIN AND KILI BEING ‘UGLY’ BY DWARF STANDARDS IS AMUSING CONTENT)
further take: Kili is straight-up ugly by dwarf standards. Thorin is like, the dwarf equivalent of Benedict Cumberbatch. Some dwarves think he’s an absolutely dreamboat, others think he is super weird looking, there’s very little middle ground.
omg now i’m like. what does this make frodo by hobbit standards
by hobbit standards, I’m afraid Frodo is probably. not conventionally attractive at all.
Frodo is the sexiest hobbit by elf standards
@femmefaramir this is some fucking galaxy brain level tags and im crying out of sheer horror
Every day, against my will, the LOTR fandom makes posts.
We getses tagged teamed by the precious hunky orcses boys til we’re wrung out like a soggy dishes rag we does
Sorry that was uncalled for
Crowley and I spent several hours at the coffee shop today.
As always, we were teased by Nina when we first arrived, with she and Crowley exchanging rather rude banter. I had a delightful scone with my tea and wonderful conversation with my partner until a woman with a child sat at the table beside us.
Some would believe that children would be fearful of Crowley, though quite the opposite is true.
The way Crowley lit up when the child waved to him was wonderful to behold. They interacted for a while, and then child looked shyly at me. Never one to attract the looks of devotion Crowley seems to garner from the younger humans, I was determined to make a favorable impression.
Crowley berated me for putting on a magic show, although I only pulled a coin from behind the child’s ear, much to their delight. For a brief moment, I believe I saw that same delight in Crowley’s smile, although he would surely deny that.
If I had like Do Whatever The Fuck You Want kind of money, I'd get a huge area of land within a reasonable walking distance from the town, and set up a mock graveyard in there. Fake tombstones with names of people who have never existed, sculptures of weeping angels draped dramatically over grave monuments, a folly in the style of old gothic stone church ruins, the whole nine yards. And then just wait for the goths to show up.
Watch them hang out there, sit on the dilapidated benches, take dramatic pictures of each other, the graves, and each other on the graves, just enjoying themselves and doing their thing, paying no mind to the unassuming, tall, equally abandoned-looking tower at the other end of the graveyard. It's not abandoned. I live there. And I set up this whole splendid little park for them just so I could watch them frolic, just the same as someone would put up a bird feeder on their yard because they wanted to watch birds.
Does anyone have the fucking tiktok video of the overly enthusiastic rich bearded guy showing off his new hiking shoes in his Mansion and the Woods, but then another dude duets with it to make it look like he's escaping from being held prisoner please please
edit THANKS @smellslikebot
"So you collect ghosts?"
"Not intentionally. Ghosts are just drawn to me. I'm a ghost sponge. A ghost magnet. When I'm hired to check out a haunted house, I walk in and take all the ghosts with me when I leave. And if it turns out there's a demon the ghosts eat 'em. It's a very efficient system."
"...Say that last part again."
"The ghosts eat the demons. Like a pack of hyenas taking down a wildebeest. I've seen the ghost of a 90-year-old Ukrainian babushka tear apart a demon with her teeth."
"Wouldn't that be the other way around? I thought demons would be more powerful than ghosts."
"One ghost, sure. But they're never prepared to take on fifty ghosts at once. Especially if I bring Olga."
