had to share this

[wizardshark]

In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice

trying to explain why i like horror to people who don’t: ok so you know how it’s fun to be deeply disturbed and unsettled

“This is a medical emergency and you should call 911 immediately” no, Google AI summary, you don’t understand. 1, why are you here I thought I typed -ai, and 2, I’m just a whump writer. No one’s pelvic bone is broken.

Well. Okay. SOMEONE’S pelvic bone is broken. But no one you can help.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

People -and therefore characters- can have self-esteem issues while also being convinced they are the GOAT, and I think not aknowledging that often gets in the way of character analysis.

[hurlumerlu]

"pretending to be confident, but deep-down actually insecure" is definitely a character type that exists, but "genuinely confident but there are a few things she doesn’t trust herself with," or "genuinely hyperconfident in her abilities but entirely unsure of her worth beyond that," or "genuinely hyperconfident in herself but if you push these 3 mental pressure points in a specific pattern she will be a sobbing mess on the floor" are characters who exists as well. And they're all beautiful.

it's amazing that I got to see him on his first day of being alive. and now he's in my home, biting my foot!

[pangur-and-grim]

he was also fuzzy! here he is at 4 week old, fully furred:

then at 6 weeks, you can see his fur is thinning:

by 8 weeks, nudity had set in:

and by the time I brought him home, he was entirely a pink raw chicken:

after they lose the kitten coat, the adult coat starts growing in, but it can take up to 1.5 years! eventually, he will be as fluffy as his mom

[pangur-and-grim]

and then he stayed bald

I feel like pirating media that isn’t sold or offered anywhere legally anymore shouldn’t be called piracy. Girl thats archaeology

Every time I see that last pic, I have to note that the funniest line is the one immediately after the highlight

[pangur-and-grim]

he’s such a disturbance

[little-shake-for-the-ben-man]

I like how fucked up and loud his climbing is, really adds a certain nasty feeling that he normally evokes

[pangur-and-grim]

yes, every neighbour who is spied on first hears a CLUNK. CLANK. CLUNK as he climbs into position. and then they look over, and see his fat pink belly and staring eyes. definitely an experience.

[fallout-lou-begas]

you don't have to advertise that to me, i'm already well aware

[fallout-lou-begas]

is this before or after the hand stuff

[fallout-lou-begas]

was talking about bus ads with my coworkers yesterday and i'd only just mentioned the "reseller ads" before one of them said "yeah, the one for fucking your brother" and everyone nodded. yes yes we've all seen it

[fallout-lou-begas]

grace and rocky get to erid and both of them are hitting every eridian squarely in the uncanny valley because they've both absorbed so much of each other that they feel both too eridian and not eridian enogh. rocky faces in the direction he's paying attention to and it feels like he's trying to hide something, the way he and only he of the eridians seems to always be showing the same face of his carapace when he speaks to somebody. he speaks in metaphors that only make sense to somebody who understands light-based vision. his intonations are funny, rising on questions when they otherwise wouldn't, falling flat, his sarcasm goes to space dry and restrained and comes back with such force it almost feels like he's lying instead of joking sometimes.

and grace who is so alien, but reflects eridian mannerisms that they've never considered strange before but coming from a creature so soft and strange, it just doesn't feel right. grace who stomps his foot twice when he asks a question, and it rings out flat and dull instead of the strong, sharp sound of an eridian hand on the ground. grace whose voice is so alien, so one-note, so full of articulations that are sharp and round and everywhere in between, but who echoes the melodies of eridian poetry and music, sometimes on accident but sometimes perfectly in time with what rocky translates him as saying, and later, perfectly in time with his keyboard.

rocky and grace who mirror each other more similarly than they mirror their own cultures. who speak to each other in a strange pidgin eridian that nobody else quite understands fluently. who share jokes from movie and tv shows from earth filtered through eridian folktales, plays, and musicals until they only make sense to the two people who know both cultures. they're not strange to each other, but it puts other eridians on edge. even adrian, at first. they've changed each other, you see.

When nobody else was remember who was there for you at your lowest. That's right. Completely and absolutely dogshit music

[burins]

thinking fondly of this meme I made for a coworker years and years ago

[burins]

this is going around again and the tags are full of people talking about printing it out to put in their breakroom or cubicle or sending it to their coworkers, which fills me with great joy. vast diversity of professions represented also. zoos. labs. summer camps. restaurants. garden centers. libraries. schools. many reports from the brave warriors of assorted retail. a truth universally acknowledged: if there is a sign a customer will not read it <3 and they don't read emails either <3
