Brain On The Box

[brainonthebox]

The moment Lou asked, "What would your father do?" I was on the edge of my seat. Like, wow, that speech he gave from that point was spectacular!

...aaaaand then it devolved into nonsense. God dammit.

brennan really said “some might run art galleries and some might run christian nationalist weed farms but at the end of the day all rich people are on the same side (evil)” and i think that’s very sexy of him actually

Dimension 20: City Council of Darkness | Episode 2 "Blood, Business, and Beth's Husband"

[brainonthebox]

New revelation! CCoD is going to be a world inverse of Gladlands but with the same goals.

One is a group of do-gooders who try to make a violently insane society a better place for all; and the other is a group of violently insane people who try to make a peaceful yet boring society a better place for all (for evil reasons).

I haven't finished episode two yet, but I get the sense that the Camarilla, "having dominion over Purpee," is really just going to be the Intrepid Heroes turning this decaying small town into a thriving community. A very 'Socialist Vampire Conspiracy' situation, if you think about it.

Step one: open a restaurant

Step two: fill clear salt and pepper shakers with black salt and white pepper

Step three: CHAOS!

You know I had to draw the vamps of Dimension 20’s City Council of Darkness

Literally just had a 200g box of KD, only half of the box had macaroni in it. Look it up, and it used to be 225g, so over 10% less food for the same or higher price. This shrinkflation stuff is bullshit.

Thoughts on the first 20 minutes of City Council of Darkness:

1. The designers of Brennan's GM board did a PHENOMENAL JOB! The 3D city landscape perspective is truly a work of art! Bravo!

2. Lou telling Murph, "Don't look away, this is the horny season," a literal second after I noticed Emily's cleavage feels both inappropriate and perfectly timed.

3. "This is our Wealwell" and "This is our Gilear," said simultaneously, is both funny and terrifying. Please do not make the wet reverend a regular!

While I'm watching news on the Epstein Files with growing horror, I also have to endure the whiplash of a relative outright say that she's now a Trump Supporter because he's helping Israel.

I could only swallow so much anger and respond, "I can never support a pedophile." She didn't refute it. In fact, she said that she understands/respects my opinion.

But, like, she's basically saying that she's willing to support a pedophile so long as he's helping Israel. Shit like this is why I think Zionism is a fucking disease.

ask me about the difference between leopard/cheetah/jaguar print, it’s my field of expertise 

[woundedtoaster]

What is the difference? Please learn me a thing

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

cheetahs got dots! little dot dots i want to bop

leopards got filling. it’s cheetah 2.0. Cheetah on meth. look at that leopard shit. 

then there’s jaguar. Jaguar is madness. it took leopard print & decided wait. what if–MAW DOTS. it’s just leopard print with dots in the middle, it’s chaos

look at this bullshit

i’m angry just looking at it

so in ascending order: Cheetah < Leopard < Jaguar

C.L.J. someone come up with weird mnemonic for that, i’ve done enough work for you greedy bastards

Someone needs to explain to the AI tech bros and marketing execs that AI ads trigger the Uncanny Valley. You know, the fear response. The one where you see something almost-human and go, "Absolutely the fuck not," and run away from it in creeped-out disgust.

[brainonthebox]

It's kind of wild to realize that the reason the USA does nothing about mass school shootings is likely because the Epstein Elite uses the events as fap material.

[brainonthebox]

I used to think Bud Cubby's "laws are threats" speech was a funny bit from an extremist NPC.

Having spent an afternoon arguing with a bunch of pro-ICE fascists claiming that people should just follow orders and obey the law to avoid being kidnapped or murdered... I really do feel now that lawfulness is a useless measure for morality.

[brainonthebox]

The first five minutes of Gladlands just sounds like 'what Americans think an apocalypse should be' that then meets reality. Like, "Oh, yeah, maybe we should help each other instead of being batshit insane."

"king charles" im not calling a real person that it's 2026

Would you say that to this face?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

google's useless. tumblr tell me something fun about cuttlefish idegafanymore

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Loving the notes:

as with octopodes, cuttlefish have donut shaped brains. the esophagus passes through the center, which is why they straight up die if they try to swallow anything too big! stretched out the brain :(

cuttlefish are filled with love, as demonstrated by their 3 hearts

but they are also filled with venom. good for them!

oh and also blue-green blood. yes they have teal blood, i love that for them

smaller male cuttlefish will disguise themselves as female in order to mate with females who are guarded by large males. sometimes they even use fake egg sacs as props. let's hear it for transfem lesbian cuttlefish!

btw their eggs look like boba, which is why mermaids add them to beverages

their pupils look like this:

they have an internal shell called the "cuttlebone." (it is not an actual bone, as cuttlefish don't have bones.) they use it to control buoyancy, and it's freaky:

multiple people replied with "cuttlefish are fish." they're not. they! are! mollusks!

and of course by far the most important cuttlefish fact, they change color for hunting, camouflage, and disguise purposes.

say thank you to our beautiful rainbow murder mollusks!!!

CUTTLEFISH MENTION !!! YAY YIPPEE

I will also add:

- They have 8 shorter arms (the ones you see) and two long tentacles that are normally kept hidden except for when they burst out to grab their prey like this:

- after they catch their prey successfully they will occasionally do a little flash of a different colour. It's currently uncertain why they do this, but one theory is that it's an involuntary response to being happy at having food!

- many sources, including the BBC, have claimed that they rapidly flash different colours before catching prey to "hypnotise" them. The current scientific consensus is that that's probably not really true. Instead, it's likely that they do it to break up their silhouette and so the prey isn't really sure what they're seeing - think like zebra stripes but strobing!

- they can change texture as well as colour. Since their skin is almost entirely muscle, they can make elaborate shapes and patterns out of their skin by retracting some muscles. That's why they sometimes look very spiky and sometimes very smooth

- Some of the smallest species of cuttlefish, particularly the flamboyant cuttlefish, Ascarosepion pfefferi, are so small that their cuttlebone doesn't even work as a flotation device, so they have to waddle around on the seafloor instead and it's so so cute

Please tell me if I got anything wrong btw I'm not an expert just extremely autistic ^.^
