A Surplus of Exclamation Points

Hi I'm Adina (she/hers, 30s)! Welcome to my blog! Talk to me about webcomics, space, queer stuff, jewish stuff, geology, computers, music, cosplay, or languages.

you ever think about how mr beast is real life monokuma

[acerby]

I believe Mr Beast is just itching for the day he can do a real death game. I think he constantly pitches it to his team and they just keep going "not yet, but soon"

like, the most compelling ships for me always stem out of one thing: the characters have a profound, ongoing effect on each other’s senses of selves. when they are apart, the characters’ actions are still affected by each other. the way they approach the world changes because of the other. 

which is this deeply Austenian view of ideal romantic relationships as mechanisms by which we come to know ourselves better and become better versions of ourselves. good romance, for me, is always tied in with a sense of self-actualization, and the way in which a beloved partner allows a person to know themselves better.

Car Trunk vs Car Boot: A clear win for US English, trunk was already a thing in which you stored items, frequently for transport.

Crisps vs Chips: I gotta admit, the Brits have this one. They're thin slices of potato that have been made crispy. No chipping of any materials involved.

Car Park vs Parking Lot: Equally matched. What's a car park? A place to park cars. What's a parking lot? An otherwise empty lot where you can park.

Elevator vs Lift: Both equally fail to address that the damn thing also goes down.

we need to instill a new storytelling rule of thumb into people called "show don't tweet" where we encourage them to put all pertinent canon information into the actual story and its official supplemental material instead of using reddit AMAs as lore dlcs

just found out that accidentally in love by counting crows was literally made for shrek. they didnt just choose it. it didnt exist before. they asked counting crows to make a song for shrek 2 and thats how we got one of the best songs ever made. insane.

[wordfather]

counting crows knew shrek 2 would become one of the best movies ever made and had to act accordingly

Hunter-gatherer's approach to manufacturing textiles:

Find a suitable 3D mass

Peel off its outer layer to get a 2D sheet

Agriculturalist's approach to manufacturing textiles:

Produce a 1D filament

Shape it into a 2D space-filling curve

For a city to be walkable. It must also be sittable.

[notjusthespongenextdoor]

#every time I read this phrase the same thing happens#I read it as shittable and go wait that can't be right#oh right they were talking about public benches that makes more sense#but public bathrooms available without fees should also be a thing tho#cities should definitely be shittable#it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME

it must also be shittable

Do Eridians know they are different colours. I bet Grace's alien kids love finding out what colour they are. It means absolutely nothing to them but they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Some of them think he's making this whole 'colour' thing up to mess with them and try to catch him out by asking again on a different day to prove he's just saying random noises but he's like you are still blue buddy and they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Like if we met an alien species who had extra senses & they said that some humans felt spingly and some humans felt spoingly I bet we'd all want to know if we were spingly or spoingly humans

[penny-anna]

#we would create an entire new astrology system about it#spoinglology

Grace, watching the eridian children develop a whole astrology-esque personality typing system based around what colour they are: oh god what have I done

[penny-anna]

anyway ppl mentioning synesthesia in the notes so i suggest to you: Grace explaining to fascinated Eridians that deep sounds are 'dark coloured' and high sounds are 'light coloured'

[penny-anna]

Grace: so red is hot

Rocky: ok

Grace: and blue is cold

Rocky: ok

Rocky: why?

Grace: I. I'm not really sure.

[penny-anna]

#ok thats fire and ice/water obviously

Rocky: so fire is red?

Grace: well no it's usually more orange

Rocky: and ice is blue

Grace: well kinda? it usually looks clear or white

Rocky: this is bullshit

i'm your only friend (realizes that's statistically unlikely) i'm not your only friend (considers my positive qualities) but i'm a little glowing friend (suddenly gets cold feet) but really i'm not actually your friend (remembers to be confident in relationships) but i am

I am against Leo XIV because I think a USAmerican Pope makes the chances of an antipope in my lifetime less likely

[crowns-of-violets-and-roses]

I am big enough to admit that I was completely wrong about this. Just utterly off base
