One of my favorite things is modern adaptations that leave people with the same careers they had in the original material, because unless you’re a cop or a doctor that practically never happens.

Irene Adler’s an opera singer. We still have those! They don’t have the same subtext exactly, but nothing is going to because we aren’t the Victorians. She could continue to be an opera singer. I have never seen this happen.

Jonathan Harker can still be in real estate. That’s a job people have. A modern story that still involves Dracula contacting his firm to help him purchase property sounds amazing actually.

[nudityandnerdery]

A modern adaptation of Dracula where you keep seeing Jonathan Harker’s face on bus stop bench ads for his realtor office.

I was about to joke about Quincey Morris still being a cowboy, but then it occurred to me that he’s not actually a cowboy in the source material, is he? He’s the wealthy heir of a Texas ranch-owning family who just acts like an Old West cowboy. If anything, that’s even more plausible today than it was in 1897.

so i just learned that people fucking dove inside a god damn iceberg and good to know that even for cave divers, who in my opinion are already a special kind of unhinged, and i say that with all affection, there are people even more unhinged than that

[cappurrccino]

I was going to post some Choice Horrifying Quotes from the article, but turns out the whole thing is a horror story and i’m just.

the fact that they got trapped and pulled in and thought they might die three times and were still like “hey what if we do one more” and only didn’t die because they decided to have a meal first??

[rukafais]

#//juri speaks#look. i love caves. but there is no fucking way#also not to relate everything to my current hyperfixation but. this could EASILY be a tma episode 

yeah you wouldn’t need to change anything for this to be a TMA episode i absolutely agree, the damn thing already tried to kill them three times

[discordarchitect]

okay guys u gotta read it. I was making highlights but it turned into a summary. still. read it. so worth it.

Ok so two people sink down to look around. Jill and her partner. First glimpse of horror (lots and lots of sea creatures) happens. But everything is pretty and they continue on

That’s the sound of their way in collapsing btw.

They find a way out. And then proceed to dive in again

they get out again.

The photos are sublime. So next day, Wes decided, hey, i want to go with you. Remember the camera i tested? We’re going to take even better pictures with it.

so they dive

and the current picks up again

Dude.

They got sucked in, obv. Water pouring down, the three try to get out. Fail. There’s no way up.

And then Jill decides to show human determination and ingenuity. Holy shit.

They get out. They see the boat with the science team, reaching for them. They’re late for two hours, but alive.

[discordarchitect]

i did not manage to find the iceberg photos, but her other stuff is breathtaking

Jill Heinerth

JILL HEINERTH is an underwater explorer, writer, photographer, speaker, and filmmaker. A pioneer of technical rebreather diving, she has led

these photos are from some of her other cave dives

[dieaerzte]

I found a picture from the iceberg dive!

My piece for the @khaquazine My first zine piece and I'm so proud of it!! At the back are the piece with just the comic panels of Aqua’s magical girl transformation inspired by the ones from Precure and some early concepts I drew. Second sales are happening now till March 20th or till stocks last!

jason: alvin draper is a stupid cover name, you sound like a dorky chipmunk with it

tim: i dunno if ‘mr. spanky’ has any room to talk

Reckon that’s about all the charcoal the hospital had.

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

I fucking love the Dekusquad v the Bakusquad because the Bakusquad looks like theyre full of edgy dumbass rebels and the dekusquad looks like its entirely comprised of kids who go to office hours for fun but out of the two of them the Bakusquad is the one that has been shown to canonically arrange group study sessions whereas the dekusquad has been involved in several illegal acts of extrajudicial vigilante justice that nearly culminate in a brutal murder

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

If the Bakusquad breaks a rule it’s probably a minor infraction and it’s probably because someone from the dekusquad was also there. If the dekusquad breaks a rule someone is dead and the city is on fire

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

#the bakusquad thinks that going to walmart at 10:30 pm is peak chaos #but the dekusquad is banned from every single McDonald’s in a 10 mile radius

absolute gold in the tags

[flametrashira-deactivated202505]

my dream as a fanfic writer is to write a story which people want to talk to me about and send asks about afterwards and discuss things the characters did and the symbolism and meanings behind certain lines and I'll be all "hehe thanks" but irl I'll be in literal tears because I wrote something that means something to someone

[cevansbaby-dove-deactivated2025]

Please give me feedback! :)

You joke, but there was a famous trans American jazz musician named Billy Tipton who had 5 wives, and he successfully hid the fact that he was trans from 4 of them by claiming that he lost his dick in a car accident. He was only outed when he died in 1989 at age 74.

King shit right here.

[galaxianbitch]

legendary, no, actually, god tier strap-game

[bowlifecomics]

It makes me happy when they listen

[cheap-pink-mints]

[bowlifecomics]

YES. YES YES YES THANK YOU

[theundergroundwoman]

a haunted house is the memory of your ex-friend’s home that you know like the back of your hand but will never step foot inside again

[theundergroundwoman]

to haunt is to recall

[vulcandroid]

i will never be over the fact that during first contact a human offered their hand to a vulcan and the vulcan was just like “wow humans are fucking wild” and took it

[roachpatrol]

Humanity’s first contact with Vulcans was some guy going “I’m down to fuck.”

Vulcans’ first contact with Humans was an emphatic “Sure.”

[lilian-cho]

@sineala

[star-lord]

#iiiiiiiiiiiiii mean vulcans had been watching humans for a long time#they knew the significance of a handshake but still#they had to find some fast and loose ambassador#willing to fuckin make out with a human for the sake of not offending them on first contact#lmao#star trek give me the story of this fast and loose vulcan

[moonsofavalon]

“sir…these…these humans…they greet each other by…” *glances around before furtively whispering* “by clasping hands…”

*prolonged silence* “oh my…”

“sir…sir how will we make first contact with them? surely we…we cannot refuse this handclasping ritual, they will take it as an insult, but what vulcan would agree to such a distasteful and uncomfortable ritual??”

*several pensive moments later* “contact the vulcan high command and tell them to send us kuvak. i once saw that crazy son of a bitch arm wrestle a klingon, he’ll put his hands on anything”

[evilminji]

Elsewhere, w/ kuvak: “….my day has come.”

[lierdumoa]

The vulcan who made first contact with humans is named Solkar guys. Y’all just be makin’ up names for characters that already have names.

Bonus: here’s a screencap of Solkar doing the “my body is ready” pose right before he shakes Zefram Cochrane’s hand:

[adreadfulidea-deactivated202402]

I swear Vulcans only come in two types and they are “distant xenophobes” or “horny on main for humanity”. Also apparently this guy is Spock’s great-grandfather and frankly that explains everything.

[olderthannetfic]

Bringing back a classic since we’ve been discussing exactly what canon says about hand contact.

[rosekasa]

contrary to popular belief i think a ladybug dakimakura would he where chat draws the line. yes he can have a shrine for her in his bedroom but a daki feels inappropriate.

so obviously ladybug responds to this discomfort by personally designing and gifting him the most outrageous ladybug dakimakura. and like. what is he meant to do. it's a gift from his lady. he accepts it but he refuses to make eye contact with it ever.

[buggachat]

im sorry but i got such a visceral image in my head of this and i couldnt shake it
