Living in some form

Old enough to have been raised not to share my age online, not changing this habit now. (Also I throw most reblogs into queue to become Future Me's Problem)

tried to hatch an easter egg once

[dr4g0nwh1sk3rs]

I- I don’t think I wanna know

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

didn't have a heat lamp so i kept it under my armpit for a week

[antifa-furry-soldier]

If this were anyone else I'd be confident this is a bit

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

it was elementary school. the year before our class hatched a batch of chickens in an incubator, i knew they needed heat. plus i didn't want an adult to confiscate it. during class i alternated between my hoodie pocket and my armpit (warmer). solid logic

[webber-da-spider]

Was it a plastic one or a painted one?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

well see that was the big issue

[webber-da-spider]

Answer the question gaud

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

this happened in June. Easter had been over for 2 months. Easter was not on my mind. so when i found a single perfect intact egg (not hollow) just sitting on the ground under a tree, it did not occur to me that

the tree was next door to a church, places infamously known for organizing easter egg hunts

a single perfect white chicken egg rarely appears in nature nestled against a suburban tree trunk

to read deeper meaning into the small splashes of color on the base (thought it was pollution or smthng)

no, i did not see a forgotten easter egg that had been left for 2 months to weather the elements. i saw a random egg, in need of hatching.

[rhynereads]

You see Gaud, I don't believe you. You absolutely saw a forgotten Easter egg and tried to hatch it

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

*sighs* let my motives be washed away by the tides of time. whatever my intentions, I tried to hatch a rotten easter egg under my armpit.

tragedy, naturally, struck.

[androgynousmushroomlad]

I hatched a goose egg with th3 armpit technique once

[androgynousmushroomlad]

Her brother is also there, but their mum actually managed to hatch him. Her name is Riley and his name is chucky

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

well see now i feel cheated

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

still annoyed my mom threw out my wisdom teeth. you don't just RECYCLE SOMEONE'S TEETH, MOTHER

[rueval]

My sister got our cousin’s baby teeth (both graduated from college at this point) for Christmas and they were perturbed to say the least

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

always, this website beckons me back with its siren song

[wubrh]

@biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist well, since you asked so nicely :)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the post that keeps on giving

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

can't decide if the notes on this post are a goldmine or a minefield

[hbmmaster]

how do you pronounce Ralsei? I’ve always said rælsaɪ but my friend says rælsi and it occurs to me rælseɪ would also make sense

/ˈɹælzeɪ/ RAIL-zay (I have the pail-pal merger)

[hbmmaster]

I'd do a pronunciation poll for this but unfortunately it is literally impossible to present different ways to pronounce a vowel before the letter L in a way where laypeople who have the various relevant mergers will understand which options best describes their pronunciation. and yes obviously the ambiguity of the first syllable matters enough that I wouldn't want to just poll for the second syllable

[janmisali]

but ykw fine I'll just ignore the ambiguity of the first syllable. how did you pronounce the second syllable of the name of the character "Ralsei" from Deltarune in your head just now when you read this question?

I have never considered this before and do not have an opinion

say

see

sigh

zay

zee

zigh

-ay, idk if it's s or z

-ee, idk if it's s or z

-igh, idk if it's s or z

something else

[show results]

Remaining time: 5 days 16 hours

[duncathan-salt]

I'm indecisive and end up pronouncing the name differently just about every time I say it

[janmisali]

not the question

[prettycottonmouthlamia]

Is this a fucking joke????

[prettycottonmouthlamia]

This is what I mean about content labels existing as a way to control and suppress posts. I don't believe for a fucking minute this post was automatically assigned. But of course, their stupid fucking AI mod exists so now there's no accountability. The machine cannot make a decision :)

FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS IN THE US!

Someone over on bluesky posted this and I figured I'd better repost it here. It's the pre-RFK 2025 vaccination schedule for babies and young children, ya know, just in case it mysteriously disappears. Save this and give it to your child's pediatrician; tell them this is the schedule you want your child on.

[splendentgoddess]

Got a hold of the older children/teen and adult versions of this chart. Vaccines for everyone!

[leebrontide]

You all may be sick of me banging on this drum but I got whooping cough in my mid/late 20s because I had no idea I needed an adult booster and I coughed so hard I broke my rib. And guess what? Then I got to keep coughing that hard, but now with a broken rib.

Please get your boosters.

[orteil42]

I must not explain the joke. Explaining the joke is the joke-killer. I will face my followers who did not get the joke. I will permit them to pass over me and through me

[orteil42]

you are making this so difficult

[microsff]

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?"

"I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands."

After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?"

"This, too, is magic."

[penpaladinjules]

In the immortal words of Terry Pratchett, it doesn’t stop being magic just because you know how it’s done.

Since the new round is live I offer you, patrons of tumblr, more propaganda on why Simon from iron lung should be the 2026 tumblr sexyman.

1. The bit. Markiplier winning the tournament would be ridiculous. Also he’d probably say something about it and that would be even more funny

2. LOOK AT HIM he’s a sad hot man drenched in blood and trauma. What more can you ask for????????

3. I would get to never shut up about it

4. Tangential propaganda: what if we make him and Ryland grace go at it in the finals?

5. It supports fandom morale for crossovers. Simon is one half of bloodymary, the most fun thing I’ve seen happen in fandom in the few years I’ve been around here.

6. My friends would never hear the end of it

7. YOUR friends have the opportunity to never hear the end of it

8. He has so much angst potential. Like so much. You can throw buckets of it on him and he’ll still stand up afterwards and want to live.

9. Have I mentioned how funny it would be for him to win????

[codex-entry]

i for one would just choose to love the shadows on the wall of the cave, someone out there is putting a lot of work into making them after all

[codex-entry]

:D

[idlelizard]

cookie beast, stay tuned for his post-oven evolution...

[idlelizard]

wait he's cute!!!

[bloggingboutburgers]

We're getting there little by little, sure. But it's a road.

Anyway happy international asexuality day back to work I go

[genderfluid-druid]

hurr hurr I'm a human body hurr hurr I'm gonna solve all my problems using mucus

[genderfluid-druid]

"i require more fluids" well what did you do with the fluids I already gave you. hmm? did you make more mucus with them? you made more mucus with them.

[faggystrogen]

this post genuinely helps me when i'm sick because it reminds me to slime it up

[cryptotheism]

I'm fascinated by how the formatting of different social media sites affect how text is read.

For instance, a line break on Tumblr indicates a new idea.

[cryptotheism]

But a reblog break indicates that time has passed.

Saw this on twitter and THIS is the fandom mindset I learned and follow.

I enjoy reading and writing darker things. I do not give a shit what fictional things or ships you like. That is your business and if you don't like what I like? Great! I also don't give a shit!

Find what makes you happy, brings you comfort, makes you feel those emotions you want, or what gives you closure from something

Fandom is what you make it. Don't make it shitty
