A truly dope explanation of how to work with the curve filter!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Rate different bats.

…i will do it for 4 dollars

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

alright so, bats!

(rated by their efficacy and how satisfying they would be to fend off a home invasion)

wooden bat. solid, heavy duty, could easily be used to rattle the bones of a nighttime intruder. perfectly serviceable weapon, if a bit heavy handed. a bit lacking in pizzazz though. where’s the style? where’s the razzle dazzle? still, i could give a house burglar a concussion with this, and ultimately that is what matters. 6/10

shiny aluminum baseball bat. now we’re talking. does everything the first bat does, but makes a pleasant ringing thud when it finally comes into contact with a home intruder’s skull. that’s what sells it right there. grievous bodily harm, and grievous injury to ego. now with sound effects straight out of a roadrunner cartoon. baby go night night with a riiiiing. i hit you with this, your head starts ringing like a churchbell. 8.5/10

i changed my mind: now we’re talking. has all the bells and whistles of the aforementioned models, with the added advantage that after you kick the sucker’s ass, you get to stand over them and add insult to injury. behold evildoer, you just got your ass handed to you by the cute and unforgiving face of Hello Kitty. 10/10

lacks the razzmatazz of hello kitty, but still a perfectly usable weapon. a true classic. add some stickers & neon duct tape and we’re good to go. just be careful not to stub your toe when cleaning your room. 10/10

yes, that is a katana doubling as a baseball. yes, this is overkill. no, i’m not complaining. truly glorious. you can kick someone’s ass with a bat, and if the sucker still won’t go down? then we move on to ROUND TWO. imagine you take a few swings at an intruder, they’re looking around for a makeshift weapon, a broom handle or something, but then they look back and you’re unsheathing a second, sharper weapon. from within the same weapon. how fucked up would that be???? 11/10 probably not useful for baseball but why would you want to waste a baseball bat doing sports

[moon-meerkat]

what about them???

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

always use explicit language when you bargain with the devil, fool! four dollars

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

alright, BATS!

first things first, the Little Brown Bat. It is so little. It is indeed brown. It’s so tiny!!! I’ll be honest, just the name gets it a 10/10

Next order of business: the Big Brown Bat! It is indeed brown! It is not actually very big, but that’s okay!!! 10/10 excellent bat!

next up, Ghost Bat. look at this shit! look how happy that fucker is! 10/10 that’s a happy bat!!!!!

Introducing: Hammer Head Bat. this bat is less happy. this is not a pleased bat. i would go so far as to say this is a bat in distress. It is, however, still an excellent bat, utterly flawless, free from sin. blessed bat. please unhand them. 10/10

may i present: Epauletted Fruit Bat. This shit is wild. needs 2 photos bc on closer inspection that is a labrador retriever in bat form

look at this. there are over 1,400 species of bats and each one is stranger than the next. look at its nose. that’s a dog. 10/10

Honduran White Bat. oh my STARS AND CRACKERS. i would die for them. i would let you die for them. i would let you and your extended family and your second cousins all die for them. look at em. they’re so lovely. 10/10

check it out! Pied Bats, also called Badger Bats! this is the perfect bats! all bats are equally perfect but especially this bat! give this bat a mountain of tiny, bat-sized pies! give this bat a treasure horde of tiny fresh-baked pies to hoard over like a dragon! all the pies!!!!! 10/10 flawless. this bat also deserves a tiny top hat, i think.

Little White-Shouldered Bat. i love how many bats have ‘little’ in the name. like it was important to the scientists to emphasize that this is not just a bat, it is a little bat. Little bat in a big world. protect the tiny sky rodent. anyway, this one gets a 10/10, self-explanatory 

Ghost Faced Bat. Upon careful examination, that is indeed a bat. 10/10 i won’t hear a word against my wrinkly friend.

In conclusion: BATS BATS BATS BATS!!!!!!!! 🦇 🦇 🦇

u can request more bat/non-bat ratings here. i warn you, i will not compromise my integrity by rating any bat or batlike creature less than 10/10

Someone in the notes wanted to know why this is, and it just so happens I once wrote an article about why: it's called the flow state!

Your mind basically has two modes - wandering and flow. The wandering state is when we're daydreaming, thinking about what we are having for tea, or replaying old memories - the sort of thing that happens when you look at someone and realize they've been talking for a while but you haven't heard a word of it. This is because something called the default mode network in your brain is active. This is a distributed network of neurons in your brain that activates when you're not engaged with a task. It's not just there to distract us, though! Research suggests it's the source of our creativity!

The flow state is when you are actively engaged - your mind is utterly focused on what you are doing. You lose track of time, you forget to pee or eat, and you're having a great time doing it! The key to the flow state is dopamine. People experiencing flow have huge activity in the dopamine reward circuit of the brain - a small area below the hippocampus. You go into the flow state when you are doing something active and consistently rewarding. The rewards have to come frequently enough that almost everything you do generates a fun reward.

You may have experienced this with painting, (where every brush stroke adds to the picture), or with sewing, football, swimming, you name it. But one of the best tools to put you in the flow state is a video game. They're just so good at it! The whole world responds to you, the challenges are tried and tested to make them as fun as possible, it's a brilliant back- and-forth between the game and the player.

Online learning? Not so much. Teachers are far away from you and can't give you timely feedback or rewards. Tasks are often dull and box-ticky, things put together to help you work through a problem in stages that might not seem apparent or connected. No way they'd get past focus testing in a video game. So when your brain isn't being fed that dopamine reward, on comes the default mode network.

Suddenly you're thinking about Kingdom Hearts or singing your favourite song to yourself or getting up to get a snack. Because your brain is looking for a reward it isn't getting. Don't beat yourself up, you're designed that way! What kind of ape would you be out there in the wild if you didn't use spare time to think of new things or plan your next foraging trip?

And if the research is correct, this time spent wandering in your own internal landscape might be the key to some really creative ideas! Make sure you write them down so you have a souvenir!

And seriously. From a teacher: don't judge yourself for not being able to engage in something that is fundamentally not engaging.

I'm so proud of you all for doing it anyway. Even if you can't sometimes. That's OK too.

[peelingmandarins]

anyway why is archery so fucking sexy

[digitaldiscipline]

shoulders and absolute physical control.

next question.

[sandersstudies]

Some customers really just…. order stuff and don’t know what they’re ordering.

Like I’m constantly like “let me know if you have any questions! always feel free to ask! thank you! :) :) :)” and then they’ll order a cappuccino and be like “THIS DRINK FEELS LIKE IT’S HALF AIR”

and I’m just like “ah :) I see :) wow :) okay :)”

[sandersstudies]

I try to be as honest as possible with customers about what’s in drinks, how they’re made, and how they taste, while putting a positive spin on it (”It’s not really for me, but a lot of customers tell me they love it!”) but if you do not ask I cannot tell you. 

[sandersstudies]

People ordering high-caffeine drinks for really small kids freaks me tf out every time… like I know it’s none of my business but your 6-year-old shouln’t be having 300mg of caffeine. Sometimes it seems like it should be obvious but other times the caffeine is “hidden” in a fruity drink or a frappuccino but it’s still in there!

[secretkeeper007]

For the caffeine thing with kids: caffeine sometimes works as an alternative to Adderall for people with ADHD, so I know parents who give their kids coffee rather than medication. I’m sure that’s not the case every time, but sometimes it might be.

[sandersstudies]

^ Oh as someone with ADHD this is totally true. Caffeine helps to stabilize me rather than make me jittery. But I wouldn’t recommend medicating a child with it at all.

[noodles-07]

I have decided to run an experiment

Reblog this post if you are a gay, trans, or otherwise LGBTQ+ (ACE INCLUDED) fander

Like this post if you are a cisgender, heterosexual fander

Are there any cishets in the Sanders Sides fandom? I need to know.

ao3: “get through me” rating: T warnings: putting others first spoilers, sympathetic deceit, sympathetic remus, intruloceit genre: hurt/comfort description: Deceit returns. His boyfriends comfort him.

He should be thrilled.

He is thrilled. Thomas is willing to listen to him. Patton is willing to listen to him. Patton asked him- him!- for advice on apologizing to Thomas. If you had asked him so much as this morning, he would have thought you were out of your mind. Patton would never ask him for assistance, would never see his as a helping hand.

But he has.

And Deceit- Janus-

He’s given them his name, tugged off a glove and sworn on his own bare flesh, his own raised right hand, that for once and for all, he’s telling the truth. The vulnerability still aches in his throat, still churns in his stomach. The memory of Logan’s warm acceptance helped to push the words past frozen lips. My name is Janus.

And Roman…

Roman laughed.

ao3: “night time routine” rating: T warnings: touch starvation, sympathetic deceit, sympathetic remus, intruloceit genre: fluff description: Deceit has a message for Logan.

“You’ve been working too hard,” Deceit announces, appearing in Logan’s doorway. Logan looks up, and Deceit can see purple bruises of exhaustion beneath his eyes.

“I’m fine,” Logan insists. Deceit flicks his forked tongue out, not bothering to hide the distaste on his face when he tastes the bitterness of a lie.

If They Won’t Love You, We Will

    A/N: I really needed a break from anything serious lmao, the superhero au and all my various zombie apocalypse wips are totally burning me out. I saw this comic by @strawberryjellystuff and decided to go back to my roots- Hurt/comfort short fics. 

    Also no offense but this is unedited 

    Synopsis: An attempt of kidnapping became a rescue mission (Intruloceit). 

    Words: 3441

    Trigger warnings: Definitely not unsympathetic light sides but they are assholes, and there’s a scene that’s almost sexual but not, let me know if i missed anything

    All they had intended was to piss some people off. 

    At this point, the Light Sides saw them as nothing more than a small annoyance- And in some cases, they were right. Most of the Dark Sides were fine with that, too. They even tried to live up to it. Hence Remus and Deceit’s back-fired prank. 

    Remus came to Deceit with the idea to ‘kidnap’ one of the Light Sides, to hold them in Deceit’s room for a few hours and annoy the shit out of them until the others came to ‘rescue’ him. 

    The two of them had given up on making Thomas listen to them. They knew that every attempt they had would be curbed by the Light Sides. So they’ve reduced their efforts to being as annoying as humanly fuckingly possible. 

    After a long discussion, and an almost-argument, they agreed on Logic. Logic had to be the quickest one they would notice is gone. He was the most important. Without the others, Thomas wouldn’t be who he was, but without Logic, Thomas wouldn’t be. They could only go so long without him. 

    Logan was in his room when they bombarded him. Remus kicked the door down with a loud, ridiculous “HY-YAH!,” which caused Logan to drop his pen and shriek.

Logan HCs

• He has freckles. But he covers them because he finds them “unprofessional”

• He always acts like no insult ever gets to him but he actually has really low self esteem and cries in his room for a few minutes after the others insult him.

• He hangs out with the dark sides a LOT. He thinks he can relate to them more and they’re a bit nicer than the lights.

• He actually loves to draw. Some of his notebooks have pages and pages of sketches that he drew when he was bored.

• Even though he considers drawing a big hobby of his- he never really told anyone about it besides Deceit and Remus.

• He and Remus bond over drawing a lot. They like to make stories together on paper. Like a collaborated comic.

• He honestly LOVES dirty jokes. He finds witty and dry humor amazing but jokes about the reproductive system or copulating almost always make him laugh- As long as he’s not by any of the light sides. (They need to take him seriously. He can’t be a joke)

• He is the absolute KING of sass. He hardly ever lets his feelings loose because “Uh oh- feelings-” and all that jazz. But he adores making witty comebacks.

• Everyone thinks he likes Big Hero 6 because he relates with a character or he just thinks it’s a genuinely good movie- but it’s actually because he thinks Baymax looks like a squishy marshmallow and he thinks it’s adorable.

(This was basically me ranting about how much i love Logan and the fact that Intruloceit, Loceit and Intrulogical are like.. The best ships, fight me–)

[sidespromptblog]

Idea:

Logan majorly depressed and his last relationship in shambles moves into a new home, with the promise that if he can fix it up then he'll be able to live there with a good percentage of his rent taken off each month. He moves in, and already he knows things aren't what they seem when he looks into the history of the house.

When everyone renting it or trying to renovate it has died weeks within moving in. All of a sudden the cheery smile of house owner seems too sinister, and things make a little more sense.

But nevertheless he goes to bed that night, uncaring and unaware of the two dark entities watching him as he does.

He wakes up to a bloody message scrawled on the mirror of his dresser. 'LEAVE' It reads, 'OR YOU WILL DIE'.

Logan takes one look at it, "Then kill me yourself, I don't have anything better to do.' He mutters sourly before cleaning off the message and going about his daily chores. He doesn't touch any part of the house that he doesn't need to, he sticks to the library, his bedroom, the kitchen, and the living room. He doesn't go poking around in things that aren't his business.

One night Logan receives a string of texts from his ex, and all over again he feels himself falling apart. How his ex got his new number he'll never know, but it doesn't help to think about as he struggles to breathe while watching TV.

'ARE YOU OKAY?' Asks the bloody message on the TV screen.

"No." He honestly replies, because he isn't. He's not sure if he ever will be.

A single cup of tea gently nudges it self across the coffee table to him, steaming and freshly made by an invisible hand.

'YOU WILL BE,' The new message says, 'NOBODY WILL EVER LAY A HAND ON YOU HERE. YOU WILL BE SAFE. WE PROMISE.'

[sidespromptblog]

A Change of Pace

Summary: Logan’s style of clothing gets called into question, as well as his feelings pertaining to his opinion on his own growth around the other sides.

So. Remus cleaning in the bloopers. It’s headcanon time.

Imagine with me, my good bitches, Remus is a neat freak, and Logan a mess.

Now that might sound weird but hear me out.

Logan having a room that’s a mess because he seems put together, but his room is full of half-baked plans and unfinished projects that didn’t work or that he swears he’ll get back to once he finishes this more important thing.

Remus having a nicely organized room because he knows what creations to keep apart, because he loves his babies, and doesn’t want any of them to hurt each other. Having lists of what pranks the others like, and what they don’t, so he never forgets what not to do, so he doesn’t hurt them. Drawers full of body parts and strange objects.

No one can understand it, except him. You go in and you swear it’s not organized at all, just random things in random drawers until you ask for a liver of lion, and he can tell you it’s in the second row, the fourth drawer from the left, in the cabinet that’s garbage green. And it’s right where he said it was.

Just, secret neat freak Remus, and secret hot mess Logan

@starbucks-remy Roman wanted me to tag you XD

[loveistrueblue]

x + y = y + x

Summary: Logan believes in these three things: 1) There are things in life where the order in which you do them does not matter. 2) There are things in life where the order in which you do them does matter, but you can’t explain why. 3) There are things in life where the order in which you do them does matter, but you can explain why.

Logan is trying to figure out which category “falling in love with Roman” fits under.

Warnings: Brief mention of self harm, obsessive compulsive behaviours, shitty explanations of mathematical concepts, and a lot of Fluff.

Ships: Logince.

Word Count: 3,223

Notes: I’m not even shitting you, this whole fic idea came about when I was thinking about the commutative property of addition.

Feedback is always appreciated!
