I’m 5'0" in real life, didn’t reach my Adult Height until age 19 so I sympathize with Yugi and Atem because this is what like half my pre-college photos look like.

Since It’s Piccolo Day let’s remember that one time a Piccolo cosplayer went to a Toys R Us during the Holiday season and paid off every single layaway at the store.

I can’t stop thinking about Neon Genesis Rivergelion, where god’s not in his heaven, all’s not right with the world

Saw this on Twitter. What 3 potions would you drink?

I would take brown, white, and yellow!

[hikaridranz]

orange, red, blue (or purple?)

orange would be useful to remember everything even if you lose the files, and helps to avoid inconsistencies/ holes in ideas when writing

I assume red works for any languages so even if I'm not fluent in them, it's one less (giant) hurdle to pass to understand or communicate in any language I learn, which I suppose could be a plus point to marketability

blue, assuming it gets done timely/ as intended; purple is also tempting if I were to rely on a creative career, though I write mainly for personal satisfaction so far so it doesn't matter as much (plus the petty peeve of disliking purple)

---

everyone already has a (limited) mental thesaurus, and with easily accessible tools both online and offline, pink doesn't seem that useful to me

I feel like even without green there would be other personal faults to hinder the experience, and eliminating it wouldn't help me with the actual work

I would just need a break to ease the grey, or work on something else if I get sick of reading my work (and blue would let me finish it anyway)

blue > brown, doesn't matter if first draft is incoherent if I can finish the WIP (as intended/timely)

blue > white bc finishing the work (as intended/ timely) is enough, and I would only consider it finished when a certain standard is reached (clear writing, clear of typos, etc.)

blue > yellow bc distractions wouldn't be a big deal if you can finish the WIP (as intended/ timely)

blue > green bc blue would let me do it even when I lack the motivation to

I wouldn't like black as sometimes I get fresh ideas from typos, and it'd just block one avenue of idea-making for me. Plus it seems to be the easiest mistake to fix

Scully’s Apartment.

[xfilesgeekery]

I love this little peek into Scully’s apartment. And LOL at her bathroom phone. I wonder if Mulder ever heard a “Mulder, it’s me.” from the toilet.

[mappingthexfiles]

The real ongoing X-Files of the series: the floor plans of Mulder’s and Scully’s apartments. There’s hardly a time where their residences aren’t shape-shifting in some way, if not outright defying the laws of physics. (I really shouldn’t worry about Scully’s apartment moving from the first floor to the third floor when half the time Mulder doesn’t even have a bathroom.) Since I started this blog two months ago, though, I’ve already had a handful of comments about the floor plans— so at least I’m not the only one who’s always trying to figure them out. Finally I just sat down, sorted through my screenshots of all the variations, and tried to find the geometric mean.

So here’s what I consider to be the canonical layouts. Where there’s a conflict, I’ve generally gone with the later episode trumping the former. Like with Mulder’s kitchen: his refrigerator in Chinga, S5, trumps its S1 layout in Deep Throat. However, for something like Scully’s couch, I went with the most well-known arrangement. It’s angled facing her fireplace for most of the show; it’s not until S8-9 that it’s centered in the room, facing the bay windows. Or Mulder’s aforementioned phantom bathroom: in All Things, its position with a window does not make sense, so I’ve used its appearance in Orison, earlier in S7, as the canonical one.

The tallest tree in Wales got damaged by a storm and was supposed to be cut down, instead chainsaw artist Simon O'Rourke found a better solution to symbolize the tree’s last attempt to reach the sky.

translation from turkish the guy: are you hungry? are you really hungry? didn’t they feed you in the street? you poor thing. let me give you something then. come. come. do you like spleen? it’s hematinic. (this sentence wasn’t the exact translation but it’s the best i can come up with) like this look. let me give you some spleen. this much. is this enough? get it.

[deehellcat]

this is so cute. I love the butcher chatting away and the cat responding, him pulling out a package of meat and showing it, just like he’s dealing with any customer. 

[randomslasher]

one of those posts that makes me happy every time I see it

[elosoquelee]

A bitter sweet update to this video, the cat passed away :( But there is a silver lining. The Butcher, sad and despondent took her body in and buried in his garden in a little grave.

And to honor his friend he added this to his shop.

*gets dressed up to spend time in the woods alone*

[benchowmein]

once at dawn i dressed up in my regency suit and went for a walk in the woods where i heard someone go “oh” (a little like a moan) and i got terrified i’d interrupted someone dogging or something so i immediately tried to walk away before i saw the person in question, who was just walking their dog (dogging in a sense!) and i got even more scared because they were wearing black skinny jeans and a black hoodie so they looked like they had very long slender arms and legs, and both of us were really shaken so i quickly tried to get out of sight. anyway i forgot i was wearing full 1810s regencywear complete with hat and probably looked significantly more like a ghost than they did. remember you’re never alone in the woods

[bowling-with-skulls]

imagine walking your dog in the woods and seeing an obvious Regency-era ghost notice you and bolt out of sight, visibly shaken

[a-humble-waffle]

I'm CRYING this is hilarious

[deliriumcrow]

Remember, they're more afraid of you than you are of them

[mdintraining]

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who has trouble remembering developmental milestones. I put these together, but can’t take credit for any of the photography. Hope someone finds them helpful!

[thelastpilot]

This is very useful to me i have absolutely no gauge for how old children are and what they can typically do at what ages

[johncribati]

I’ve been on Tumblr too long I was definitely expecting this to turn into some existentialist meme

[bogleech]

Every writer needs to see this because I’m really tired of otherwise competent novels in which a two year old is like “mother dearest I do believe I am quite frightened” or conversely they’re supposed to be five and going “me hungie!!!”

[watertightvines]

I highly, HIGHLY recommend people check out the child development book Yardsticks. (Link goes to OpenLibrary for free perusal!) It has quick breakdowns of what each age are typically able to do and what they’re still working on physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. It’s intended for teachers, but it’s a great resource if you’re writing child characters!

[majinzelpher]

Definitely a good resource! Just want to add that milestones are just estimates, not expectations. Many kids may still be fairly early or late to these, and it should only be when extreme delays where there’s a concern.

Whether you’re a parent, sibling, or writer, don’t stress too much about child development!

We sharing anaesthetic stories?? I had to have dental surgery when i was in middle school.

According to my mom and sister the very first thing i did upon waking up was BOLT upright and proceed to try and shove my ENTIRE fist in my mouth as fast as possible.

I had to be physically stopped, and i proceeded to sob my eyes out for the next 20 minutes. Somehow, i didnt damage anything 🤣

sorry that imagery is so vivid i just..

?????LOL
