PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026)
so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.
it makes you a fruit.
me explaining goncharov to my mother: so tumblr made up this scorsese crime film and they're arguing about its themes and-
my mother, completely deadpan: well are they reviewing the theatrical release or director's cut.
me:
my mother: what does frances ford coppola think of it
Your mother is the only one who understands me
don’t abandon joy because it is brief. don’t commit to solitude because happiness is fleeting. it’s okay that good things do not last forever. it’s okay to simply enjoy a thing for as long as you have it.
^ relevant art by @catcrumb that legitimately rewired my brain
One of my favourite things about the Sherlock Holmes stories in universe being written for public consumption is that Watson does not try to hide the fact that he and Holmes do crimes such as repeatedly breaking into people’s houses or letting murders go. Instead he frames these events as fun dates filled with Holmes ranting about how stupid and/or useless Scotland Yard is. Every time it just makes me laugh.
we bought a shirt at a thrift store that says "best mom in louisiana" for some reason (as a reminder we are in midwest germany) and now my spouse keeps walking around the house wearing it and saying shit like "WHO STANDS BEFORE THE GREATEST MOM OF LOUISIANA?"

I've read so many [found the sub on a random planet] and I raise you [fished Simon up from wormhole] Another super rough render (i would almost call this a painted sketch ngl)
Lesson #5 cell growth/ re-growth
Rocky is supposed to be that one Toby Maguire meme btw
Again sorry for any (past/now) grammar errors. ALSO huge thanks for the people giving me ideas and correcting me!! I do truly love learning about biology facts so if you have any always fell free to share!!
Lesson #1 Previous lesson
proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.
once my therapist said I used very uncommon and creative phrases and adjectives and i just did not have the heart to tell that Old Lady From A Foreign Small Town that I was translating tumblr speech into our language. so I was like yeah... must be from the books I read...
like girl we have an army of scholars over at tumblr.com crafting our language it's not just little old me I swear
I once called a colleague's Borzoi a beautiful Gentle Alien, assuming the term had long since become commonplace outside of Tumblr, and discovered when he burst into delighted laughter at the term that it Had Not. I had to explain to him that I'm not a comedy genius, just repeating a niche meme.
Shoutout to my favorite genre of TOS episode:
“start your free trial now” what if i told u i am already experiencing trials. and the cost is more than i can bear
One of my favorite pages tbh
how to explain to non-americans that the better call saul ads aren’t exaggerated for comedic effect they are super normie

How you know you’re in the great state of Alabama
I don't have a picture, but our area is flooded with a dude holding a comedically large hammer and looking to sue the shit out of any truckers that have injured you.
THE TEXAS HAMMER
Alexander Shunnarah is such a big meme in Alabama that people got this man to attend anime conventions multiple years in a row as a special guest that furries and cosplayers can take pictures with and get autographs from. He's on nearly Every billboard in the state.
don't forget these jungle law billboards i have to pass every day
that doesn't even scratch the surface there are so so many of them
I remember my friends and I laughing our asses off when we saw this billboard.
Sweet James
used to pass this every day
