gothic horror is when there's a location. cosmic horror is when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing. folk horror is when you're outside.
Okay, what is it when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing lurking outside of a location?
Then you’re in John Carpenter’s 1982 masterpiece The Thing
everyone's talking about the ibs/autism haha funny comparison thing while I'm still stuck on the concept that hamsters exist in the wild. like naturally
tf do you mean they're a wild creature. you find those ankle-biters at the pet store
Not a biologist, but the evolution of mammals is way more granular than you might expect. Humans are the sole surviving species of the genus Homo, which was a real party before the other ones went extinct. You're in for a fun time.
Domestic cats are believed to be domesticated not from tigers, but from the African wildcat:
Which evolved to be small just because it's sometimes more useful to be small.
And no, hamsters are not off-brand rats. They're part of the rodent order, which includes beavers, moles, capybaras, guinea pigs (yes, also wild) and lots of other fun things:
Shit. This dude knows an extreme amount about a niche subject. Crazy what you can accomplish when you have treatment resistant IBS
I want it on record that I shit mostly normal.
irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers
I’m having a huge problem with liberals not understanding what a “black person” is. Sure there were africans in europe, but those africans were either traveling or enslaved, or people with very special circumstances that you must explain. They weren’t “british”, they weren’t immigrants. You can’t have some character be black and a nobleman from England in the 19th century without giving some context cause yeah that wasn’t the norm.
“Black people existed”, the whole concept of blackness is so new, mentioning it is anachronistic.
And the whole “north africa” argument. North africans were considered white until 2 years ago when the US decided Arabs are not white anymore. Stop it with your fake “inclusion” as if people only exist when they step onto your continent. Write your damn fic in africa. Write about actual african characters, and actual asian characters, they don’t have to step in america/europe to exist.
People who believe that north africans and indians are interchangeable cause “both brown” are telling us to “celebrate the inclusivity”. We are already in our media, we didn’t stop existing cause western media didn’t have “people of color” or whatever other ridiculous term you want to throw at 80% of the frickin globe population.
————
If it’s fantasy explain how this reality is different from the one we’re living in. If it’s “historical” then have it make sense in the historical context. You can’t just have characters “happen to be an ethnicity from a different continent”. That shit was not the norm. Some places in africa still freak out if they see a white person, most chinese people haven’t seen a black person, and you think 18th century Europe was “open”?
Anyway, history exists, read on it or decide to go with a whole different reality and it would be nice to see why in that reality Africa wasn’t plundered by europe and why europeans in that reality considered them equal, or whatever the race situation is in that fictional work. Whatever else you’re doing is a cop out and dumb.
——
I’m gonna stop here cause that whole is so ridiculous.
Octavia E Butler wrote about a time traveling black woman who found herself a century ago and guess what, she was taken as a slave. Cause that’s the fuckin context of history.
Ok stopping now.
PS: read an actual book that was written before 1930, not “historical fiction released in the 2020s” and read how the europeans spoke about non-europeans. Like get a clue about reality before throwing your 2 cents.
racist with a Harry Potter blog in 2026? fork found in kitchen
you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. you are simply incorrect. there were Black Ethiopian Christian monks in the middle ages. there were Black people in medieval Scandinavia. there were Black people in Ancient Greece and Rome (attested in literature). There were Black people in al-Andalus. there was regular contact with both Black and Arab populations in Africa, and there were Black and Arab people traveling to Europe, prior to the inception of chattel slavery, which you seem to think is when Black people started existing.
"the concept of blackness is new" "read something prior to the 1930s" okay! I have! I am a fucking medievalist who is nearly done with a PhD, I have read more premodern literature that includes Black people and POC in it, including FROM AFRICA, than you probably know even exists! the concept of Blackness is not new, actually! nor is the concept of race! there is a whole field of premodern critical race studies which, in my field, has done a lot of work for DECADES to illustrate how the concept of Blackness functioned in medieval European literature. there are Black knights in Arthuriana. there's a Black Magi and also the Queen of Sheba in religious literature. there are Black knights in a variety of medieval Arabic epics from all over the fucking place. fuck's sake, Black people show up in Isidore of Seville and Pliny and allllll sorts of encyclopedic literature! maybe check out some work by Kim F. Hall or Cord Whitaker or Rachel Schine, etc., etc., so you're not just talking out of your fucking ass!
you are just so hilariously misinformed about every single point you are trying to make (Black people can't exist in FANTASY??? where shit is 100% made up and there are dragons and magic???? be fucking serious. and I'm not even going to touch on how incredibly poorly you're reading Kindred, learn to think critically and stop misappropriating the work of Black authors to prop up racist fucking arguments) that I'm just gonna recommend you do some serious learning instead of opening your mouth to be racist and wrong online. do better.

"In the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. There's only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.
Fucking word.

another one of these scams, just more 'official-looking.' if you get tagged it's not real! block and report.
Hey! There's a big scam going around we all need to be careful about! There's a lot of scam bots and people on tumblr, some acting like refuges others acting like tumblr staff - in this one, they tag you and say you need to go through steps for verifying. DO NOT ENGAGE. Block and move on. This goes for anyone in your inbox asking for money, as most of them aren't actually in need, and in some cases, the money you send over aids them with sex trafficking or other severe scenarios. Do diligent research on anything that seems supcious, and take caution. Block, report, and move on.

POV: you are a very unfortunate baby dinosaur
Some myths that need debunking because they're being pushed by bots and it’s making me angry:
1. "He's gonna declare martial law!" Okay, so what then? This isn't something you can enforce nationwide on a country of 350 million people with a military that has a combined force of less than 3 million people, including all support and logistics staff. That doesn't equal half the population of Los Angeles. Y'all need to fucking stop acting like we're approaching a mythical point where shit gets "serious." We're already there. People are already being disappeared.
Civilians are already being killed in the streets. We're there. And you know what? They're already getting near the limits of their ability to force compliance. ICE is dedicating a double digit percentage of their manpower to Minneapolis and they're not controlling shit. People are pushing back. Your default response when the administration says "We will force you to do this" shouldn't be "Oh no they're gonna make us do this!" It should be "Fuck you. Make me."
2. "Americans are doing nothing!" I did a post about this recently, but it bears revisiting: I don't know where the hell you're getting this, because everywhere that ICE or other arms of the federal enforcement apparatus go, they are being pushed back on, humiliated, driven out of neighborhoods, and shown the door. People are fighting back on a truly awe inspiring level. Stop assuming that "doing something" looks like an armed mass of civilians storming Washington and fighting the military in a pitched battle. This is movie bullshit. The world has not looked like that since the early 20th century. What you are seeing, right now, is what "doing something" looks like. Stop it stop it stop it. We ARE doing something, in vast numbers.
3. "He's gonna cancel elections!" This one has been pushed by bots for the last year, and big name people have been picking it up, and it frustrates the hell out of me so I'm going to hold your hand and tell you bluntly: He. Cannot. Do. This. There is no mechanism. Elections are controlled by the states, and they decide when they happen. There is no federal mechanism for control of elections. What's Trump gonna do? Post soldiers at every polling place in every swing state? Do you know how many polling places there are in every district? How much manpower this would require? He doesn't have the people to do it. He doesn't have the mechanical ability to do it. There are no tools to execute this plan. Is he gonna try to make elections unfair? You bet your ass, but our elections have never been fair. Voter suppression has always existed and will continue to exist until we fix it... but a blanket ban of elections or even some ability to make them not happen? Lol. He doesn't have the manpower or the means.
But what if he did? Let's game this out: Congress--or at least the House of Representatives--is not a perpetual body. At the end of 2026 the current congress ceases to exist, and the next one isn't convened until the following year. Mike Johnson will cease to be Speaker at the end of the year and wont be Speaker again in '27 unless his party wins a sufficient majority to elect him. Remember if there are no elections then republicans will not have their seats in 2027. There will be no congress, and without congress, Trump does not have a mechanism for governance. I dunno about you, but those Republican reps like having their jobs, their staff, their salaries, and all the perks that come with office. They do not get those if there is no Congress. That is not something they want.
But he said he was gonna! And? So fucking what? He says a lot of things. He issued an executive order at the start of his second term ordering all school districts in the country to immediately cease teaching "DEI" whatever the hell that means. Do you know what most districts that weren't actively kissing his ass said? "That's nice. Make me." And then he didn't, because the states control their own education systems, not Trump. His words don't have the force of law, and are limited by what he actually has levers of power to accomplish. We are **still having elections.** Several happened last week. The States decide this. Trump doesn't.
The Midterms are gonna happen. They're gonna matter and they're gonna have consequences. And you all need to stop acting like he has power over things he doesn't just because he says he does. That's propaganda and you're falling for it.
As with all things Authoritarian, when Trump says "I'm gonna force you to do this," your response should be as I articulated above:
"Fuck you. Make me."
I love you all. Be safe. Don't comply in advance. Don't give them power they don't have just because they say they do.
Don't comply in advance

i fucking hated your shoelaces this entire time

this post's hypothetical by itself is already ridiculous but the thing that gets me is how the wording implies two very funny things that become funnier in tandem
1. "Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a Christian baby" means this is a mistake on the pitcher's part. i imagine the pitcher is breastfeeding on the field and they pitch and they look down at their hands and they see the ball still in the glove and they go "fuck"
2. hitting the baby will still win you the game

We need to conquer space travel for the only reason that zero-g would allow for new never before seen pastries, you know how the top of the muffin is the best part? Well that is because it is exposed to air so it changes the chemistry, in normal earth gravity it is impossible to make a muffin that is all top part because it needs to be placed somewhere which would restrict air flow, however in zero g it would be possible to make a bubble out of muffin dough which gets optimal airflow and becomes an all-top part muffin... This is the dream...
SPACE POPOVERS!
