Younger people, one thing I want you to understand about Millenials is that, overall, our parents taught their daughters to aim for careers and employment, but they didn't teach their sons to keep house. This causes a whole lot of Situations.
Dragons adapting for different urban environments: sewer dragons, alley dragons, dragons that build their nests atop skyscrapers.
Zoos putting wire mesh over the top of their enclosures to keep dragons from swooping in and stealing their animals - and finding that even that isnât enough.
The impact of introducing a major new predator into the wild, and how the ecosystem rebalances itself around them (or doesnât).
They never stop aging - they only get bigger. Geneticists try to make humans immortal by isolating the genes that control the dragonsâ growth and implanting them into humans, with disastrous results.
SPACE DRAGONS. IN SPACE. Nobody knows what they eat, how they breathe or how they survive, but theyâre a threat to the newly-developed interplanetary passenger shuttles.
Political schisms over the revelation that dragons are sapient.
but also dragons with artificial limbs. Dragon rehabilitation centers.Â
Tamed dragons used by police and military forces. Dragons that are sent in with military forces because who wants to fight a dragon.Â
Dragons that steal computers and adapt to using technology.
Dragons that hoard technology like gems. Macbooks are the new diamonds and iPhones are like emeralds. Dragons that sit on piles of digital watches and end up having to steal more tiny batteries because they need to power them somehow. Dragons that hoard solar lights because they like the light.Â
Tornado season has violently started in the u.s already so take it from a hardened Midwesterner who has been on the highways and interstate when the radio starts doing the RRRRRRRNGH. RRRRRRRNGH. RRRRRRRNGH. BEEEEEEEEEP thing:
DO NOT TAKE SHELTER UNDER AN OVERPASS. EVEN IF YOU CLIMB UP THE HILL THING. CONGRATS YOU JUST ENTERED A WIND TUNNEL DURING A TORNADO. DON'T DO THAT
What to do if you are driving and there is a tornado:
If you can reach a building in which to shelter, do so.
If it is moving away from you/you can turn and drive away from it, do that.
If you can't do that, pull over and get to lower ground. A ditch, a ravine, any noticeably lower ground. Lay flat on your belly and cover your head.
If you can't do THAT, stop your car and pull over. Stay buckled up but get as low as possible, covering your head with your hands, and ideally your whole body with a coat or blanket in case windows break or debris is thrown into the car.
And as OP said, never, ever, EVER shelter under an overpass or in a tunnel.
Cas is a seraph. In the bible, âseraphimâ translates directly to âfiery serpent.â When seraphim are described, it comes out crazy, but only becase biblical authors are using poetic terms that people back then would have understood and interpreted- but we canât. That âflaming weel, multiple eyeâ thing? Heâs describing a giant, winged snake. In the temple of isaiah, he sees serpents with wings and legs. In the Garden Of Eden, a âserpentâ speaks to eve, and is then cursed to slither on his belly- implying he had other limbs beforehand. Seraphim look like dragons. âFiery serpents.â Castielâs true form looks like a dragon. A dragon the size of the chrysler building.
okay so, guy at work, who i find out afterwards is famous at this place for being a sex pest, comes up and starts with what i also learn is his favorite opener to conversations where heâs going to be a sex pest, namely: âDo you know where the term âblow jobâ comes from?â
and here he made his first fatal error. his moment of hubristic sex pesting. because of course i know where the term blow job comes from, i love learning about sex and the history of sexual terms! i know so much about oral sex that i could write a book on it!
his second error: approaching a little autistic freak with what he intended to be an uncomfortable sex question that would make me feel weird and gross. Friends, Romans, Countrymen, I Have Never Misjudged A Manâs Intentions So Incredibly In My Life. because i did not realize he was trying to harass me. because i love talking about sex facts, albeit not usually at work. unless. someone prompts me. my coworkers are the kind of people who are generally online enough to know terms, but not exactly what they mean, and they realized they could ask me a while back and get good answers without the resulting awkwardness because i do not experience shame. i am primed to answer questions like the one he has proposed.
So I Answered It.
and well, really, what happened is that I began answering it, then realized the answer required a bit more context. I mean, you canât just say âoh, well, the term first appears in writing in the 1940sâ without first explaining that âblowâ by itself already had sexual connotations for centuries, and then, really, are we talking about the origin of the term or the origin of the act. and well we have a ton of literature and art depicting fellatio throughout human history, did you know a lot of it was men performing it on other men? oh, that reminds me, there are a multitude of latin words for oral sex performed on penises, and hold on let me quote you the entirety of catullus 16 from memory and explain itâs fascinating insights into the roman world of homosexuality-
i do not know how to turn any of this ^ off, by the way. iâm sure some people out there have a switch that disables their infodumping mid-speech. i do not. and i also didnât realize he wasnât looking for a real answer until my other coworker explained so hours later. he could not excuse himself from the conversation he started, and i made a conservative man at least 30 years older than me to listen to my catullus recitation. i will sodomize and facefuck you, indeed.
anyway, i think i got a bad grade in being sexually harassed. my pro tip is maybe donât start with what a very autistic individual will misconstrue as you earnestly asking them to explain sex to you. the special interest shield will cause splashback damage.
Steve casually saying that it's super easy to make friends and Eddie loudly cutting in to ask why Steve doesn't have any friends then, "You eat lunch in your car ever since Wheeler dumped you for Byers."
This not only embarrassed Steve but also pissed him off so he's now dedicating himself to befriending all of Eddie's friend and turning them against him.
Steve : Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at fascists" and I think that's very sexy of us.
Eddie : If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both.
cas burning out every single lightbulb in the bunker during his first time with dean and telling dean " i can see in the dark, stop looking so smug" all annoyed after
In case you didn't know, Flamingos have been a subtle sign that a bar was gay since Jon Waters's film 'Pink Flamingos' came out in 1972. The Film was referenced in spn 2x02 Everybody Loves a Clown
Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people
