I think I've discovered a small business doing shady things, and I SHOULD just ask them about it, but I am really really tempted to just keep my appointment on Friday and catch them in the act.

imagine if linguini from ratatouille got infested by a yeerk, but his body is still partly responsive to remy’s hair-pulling. how would the ensuing power struggle play out

#okay i am imagining remy would be able to maintain just enough control #to lock linguini in his teeny tiny apartment and not leave for the pool #every time the yeerk goes for the door remy just makes him yeet himself into a closet #eventually the yeerk starves after the worst three days of their life

The Yeerk thinks that they can just wait for Remy to have to sleep, but luckily he has his rat family to run interference.

The Animorphs get involved because of ending up in France because of initially unrelated reasons, and suddenly Ax’s translator chip picks up on the French rats’ language and they make Contact. French rats, it turns out, are just Like That and other rats are not sapient and don’t have the ability to control humans through their hair. (Marco makes some “hon hon hon le squeak” jokes.) This adds a new and exciting wrinkle to the conflict with the Yeerks.

This would be only the fifth weirdest thing to happen to the Animorphs.

a yeerk is a type of ratatouille.

What is Tumblr?

Tumblr is the opiate of the very, very few.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

[watermelon-converse]

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

[aunt-rat]

Happy Moon Day Monday!

I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"

nothing is more tumblr than having a tumblr sexyman wiki and then warn you to not find some of those men sexy because it's problematic
