2023 has been quite trying, but I'm happy that I discovered a love of making these horse animations this year.

every moment of your life, from birth to death, constantly, while you aren't looking, there's some kind of weird shapes just moving around in the ocean. and the shapes are eating eachother sometimes too. and they might even dig holes. and all of this is happening during everything else that's going on. like think about the most important moment in your life. the thing that shaped you as a person. the entire time that was happening, far away, deep in the ocean, where no human has ever seen, there was some kind of wet sack with a weird protrusion flailing about in the water. maybe it even grabbed a fish. who knows. i don't. just think about that for a bit

the wind is ridiculous. the seals on our windows are ancient so they don’t work and at certain angles you can see daylight through where they should be closed, so we have added some squishy stuff in the gaps. the wind isn’t blowing my hair through closed windows any more. we chose rugs today. our pal bought a comically large quantity of spinach so I made green minestrone for dinner and in a minute we are going to make spinach and ricotta ravioli to have tomorrow. the cats (we have two now, tuxedo siblings) are napping after a tiring few minutes of trying to eat fairy lights and steal my icecream. once again I was going to have a bath but ran out of time. tomorrow I have my younger book group (age 14-15) and we’re discussing a Dorothy l sayers (the nine tailors) which they’d enjoy if they allowed enough time to read it but even tho they choose to be in book group so many of them insist on reading it the night before; they are confusing and entertaining. it’s going to rain and rain for days and days and it’s really harshing my ‘it’s not completely dark over by the sunset when I leave work now’ vibe

me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

[miaislying]

Hey OP? What the FUCK does this mean?

[personsonable-deactivated201908]

decay exists as an extant form of life

This is the top quality I want on my dash. No other post besides this and Mash Potato the dog matters on this site.

[bisexualspongebob]

the fact that the original post was made back in 2012 and the 1-year-old baby update was as recent as 2021, the development and plot that happened within this post in an almost nine year timespan …this person truly Won tumblr

The sudden Dracula Daily surge of people with no real idea what happens in the book beyond dust jacket synopsis is so cool and I love it, and every post makes me remember how I and only one other human in existence have experienced reading Dracula.

Since we were kids, my sister has consistently consumed media of any kind, and then updated me episode or chapter or installment/segment by segment, by drawing me a comic version of events on the fly, while retelling the events. This is such an immersive experience that I cried at the end of FMA more than she did when she read it, and remembered more Q&A topics at the next con. So, for Dracula we are on a flight.

A multiple hour flight. And she goes “I finished Dracula—do you want to hear it?” & I am like “Heck yeah bro,” so she goes in. We aren’t loud because this is a shared space, but our third row seat is empty so that works out perfect, and I can hear fine, so we scrunch up & she starts drawing charts as she goes, from Jonathan on his terrible no good real estate venture, right through to the denouement. It’s a fun story! And I love her comics and comments on events. I’m really into it. And it’s about group strategy sesh over Alice’s situation time in the book, when I realize the guy sitting behind us (compete stranger in his early 30s) is leaned forward and up in his chair, silently watching the comics and trying to subtly listen in too.

So, my sister goes through the whole plot of Dracula scene by scene, and fascinated, I keep checking periodically when I remember, just to see, and the entire time,he keeps listening. For something like the next two hours, I and this guy are both just taking the whole thing in beat by beat like

until finally we reach the end, and my sis says “And yeah, that was Dracula,” and he sits back and relaxes and I peek and he’s just staring into space processing eyes huge and like me too buddy & anyway, yes!!! Dracula was meant to be consumed in OG form but the weirdest methods possible, and also Quincy is the best character.

#do u think that it was awkward in the group when the rest found out that shere khan hunted down and tried to kill a kid multiple times? #im not discussing the ethics of shere khan trying to kill a child or whether mowgli deserved it or not im just wondering like. #was it awkward for them #do u think tigger and hobbes text abt him and how they can’t invite him to big family bbqs anymore bc of chris and calvin? #does tony stop posting group pics that have shere khan in them bc he doesn’t want to lose his kelloggs endorsement? #tigress probably is the neutral party bc humans don’t even exist to her #is there a big drunken blowout between them one night where the tension is too strong #and shere khan yells about how ‘you don’t understand! he tied a fucking ON FIRE BRANCH to my TAIL!! i was traumatized!’ #and theyre all like ‘you don’t think he was traumatized??? you were hunting him and telling the whole jungle you were going to kill him!’ #there’s a scuffle that ends in tigress holding back shere khan and both tigger and calvin holding back tony… #eventually the latter two convince tony to leave the restaurant for some fresh air #and and shere khan breaks down and sobs that he just wants his fucking friends back while the rest of the restaurant watches in silence? #idk something to think about

I’m working in a primary school library temporarily and yesterday was my first day. some kids - year 4s so 8 or 9 - came during their lunch break to hang out and while they were with me one of them said I need a sign with my name on it (he was too shy to ask my name outright), so I made one, then the other one borrowed my pen to add a smiley face. I think it’s gonna be ok.
