Well I Guess This Is Growing Up @ben-wah-balls - Tumblr Blog

I can’t remember the last time I posted anything on here, so much so that I’m really not sure if anyone will see this. Either way, I’ve been on this website for over ten years so it felt strange to just press delete. Alas it’s time to say goodbye in an effort to use my time more productively. Goodnight you prince of Maine, you king of New England.

why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure we’ve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but like…

rainbow mountains (peru)

red soil (canada/PEI)

rings (saturn’s if they were on earth)

bioluminescent waves

northern lights (canada)

salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)

and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and don’t get me started on BUGS like… we have bugs cooler than sw aliens

BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species

I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:

Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar

Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)

Chocolate Hills, Philippines

Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland

So many missed opportunities with cool ass things on Earth, Lucasfilms smh…

Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina

Lake Retba, Senegal

Tepui, Venezuela

Tianzi Mountains, China

bunjywunjy

these would make amazing Star Wars planets OR fantasy material:

Tsingy du Bemaraha, Madagascar again (but a different part)

(those are razor-sharp, if you were wondering. very little of this area has been explored because YIKES)

Lake Natron, Tanzania

(looks cool, but is alkaline enough to Kill Your Shit)

Lake Baikal, Russia

(the deepest lake in the world, seriously)

and I’ll wrap it up with Son Doong Cave, Vietnam, the largest cave in the entire world.

it puts anything Dagobah has to offer to absolute shame:

(seriously, the largest chamber is 660 feet high. you could jam a fucking skyscraper in there and still lose it)

anyway I really like caves thanks for coming to my ted talk

The modern Moose is actually the smallest of several moose species that have existed in the Americas over the last 50 million years. The Mega-Moose only went extinct one thousand years ago. The Mondo-Mega-Moose coexisted with the Neanderthals, and the Moose Lord once stood 75 feet tall as the largest land mammal of all time.

It ate T-Rexes.

That’s it. I’m officially re-naming my carrot ginger soup “A Vicious Rumour About Carrots.”

A semblance of corn? Ruminations on parsnips? some of the possibilities here are quite disconcerting

This looks like a moving painting

imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and there’d be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales there’d be giant deer and just wow
