*Hanging out w/ The Husband in the Technicolor Living Room*

Hubs, playing Clair Obscure Exp. 33: "WELL, FUCK YOU TOO, GAME!"

Me: ?!

Hubbysan: "I took on an optional fight of a really hard enemy, and died, and the Game has the Gall, to tell me on the Reload Screen 'yOu CaN tUrN dOwN tHe DiFfIcUlTy FrOm ThE lOaDiNg ScReEn At AnY tIiIiMe!'." >:(((

Me: ..."how many times did you die?"

Husbando: "ONCE!" *pouts*

Me: ... "well! That's just an unreasonable level of taunting."

Hubbers: "And what happened to Lune's Shoooes!??!"

what if soulmates were real and you met your soulmate and suddenly started seeing in color or they said to you the words that have been branded on your skin since birth or something but your soulmate was a Disney adult

[hotcupoteckla]

Okay, but How 'Disney' of 'Disney Adult' are we talking?

Knows song lyrics & can quote a variety of the movies?

Or every vacation ever is Disney Related & runs marathons at Disney Parks in full cosplay?

And just so we don't forget, Star Wars nerds are now Disney Adults, too.

[ladygrinninghole]

obsessed with star trek repeatedly writing themselves into a corner by creating alien races that are supposed to be The Bad Guys when that explicitly conflicts with their previously established notion that no group of people is inherently good or evil.

first it was the klingons—they’re originally supposed to be this cruel, bloodthirsty, war-obsessed people—and then tng comes along and it’s like wait no maybe war and violence is a part of their culture and actually ties back to ancient traditions and philosophies so we have to be woke about it.

hey these are the ferengi and they’re supposed to represent everything we hate about capitalist society; they’re greedy, scheming, profit-obsessed, and they look like ugly little trolls to emphasize how much we fucking HATE capitalism. oh wait fuck here comes deep space nine and we have to recognize that they’re PEOPLE. okok what if the pursuit of profit is actually part of their culture and ties back to ancient traditions and philosophies. so we have to be woke about it.

this is the borg, they’re a hivemind race of cyborgs who have no sense of individuality and their only motivation is assimilating people into their society. they want to assimilate humanity and we are completely defenseless against them because their technology is eons ahead of our own and they’re incapable of being reasoned with. oh sweet we have a borg prisoner this is the perfect opportunity to commit genocide against them. fuck actually we can’t commit genocide we’re woke and communists and in space.

hey these are the cardassians, they’re part of a cruel and vicious empire which is supposed to be a representation of fascism and authoritarian regimes, they’re a cold, bloodthirsty people with no sense of empathy or compassion, their society literally references 1984 on multiple occasions, and they’re known for the insanely cruel and inhumane methods of torture they use against their prisoners of war. we hate the cardassians…….. except, here’s a cardassian kid who grew up on bajor, and……. fuck. he’s a person. now we actually have to consider his humanity. and being racist is actually……. bad.

this is the jem’hadar, they’re genetically engineered soldiers who have no sense of individuality and only live to defend the state. they’re all born addicted to a synthetic drug that’s manufactured by the state and administered by their masters—this is how they’re kept subservient. they’re ruthless and powerful and they’re incapable of being reasoned with because their only motivation is violence and killing. so we should kill them all, right? FUCK….. what if they’re actually people. goddamnit. now we have to consider their humanity.

hey these are the romulans. hey these are the founders. the list goes on. i just find it really interesting

if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills

[the-supernatural-atheist]

where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*

[makaeru]

I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".

[hotcupoteckla]

Courtyards!!!

[toskarinfr]

must feel good as fuck to curse a prince for being rude to you while you were larping as an old woman for no reason

[hotcupoteckla]

Actually, yes. Yes, it fucking does.

rocky hunting grace while hes working like heh. going to pull big prank on grace. stupid human hearing so bad very bad and only 'see' with light-sense organ in one direction at a time. eridian best hunter on all erid, evolved best hunting veeeery quiet. scare grace a lot. very funny.

rocky is HORRIFIED mid stalk when grace suddenly stiffens and turns around to stare directly at him. HOW GRACE DO THAT HOW GRACE KNOW HOW GRACE KNOW

[hotcupoteckla]

So, big, scary, stalking, hunting animals also have super low frequencies that we can't hear, BUT CAN STILL SENSE!

When you're around old buildings & machinery, the infra-sounds you hear are giving you the "Oh no spooky!" Vibrations (literal vibe check).

Earthquakes, unstable ground, tornados, etc, emit infrasound. Ghost sightings are thought to be caused by your eyes vibrating at that sound level causing a hallucination. Your eyeballs natural vibration frequency is 18mHz!

Feelings of impending doom? Infra-sounds!

All this to say that Rocky probably doesn't realize the noises he's making when stalking Grace.

@avoid-avoidance hows it feel to be a supergenius

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

I see your “Rocky swears like a sailor but only in pitches humans can’t hear/refuses to teach Grace what those words mean” and raise you “Rocky swears like a sailor and now has to explain to Grace that ‘bad bad bad’ isn’t actually a sequence you play on your Eridian speech piano in polite company.”

Grace is both horrified and amused to realise that a more accurate translation for what Rocky’s been saying is “shit shit shit”.

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Eridian government representative: Greetings Rocky, Saviour of Erid, and Grace, Saviour from Beyond the Stars. We are pleased to welcome you home.

Grace, haltingly on the keyboard Rocky built for him: Wassup bitches. Fucking jazzed to—

Rocky: GRACE STOP TALKING NOW NOW NOW I EXPLAIN LATER

[spaceshipsandpurpledrank]

[minart-was-taken]

On earth most animals aim to be symmetrical and so have an even amount of limbs. Reading that Rocky had five left me puzzled, obviously he's an alien, but was there precedent in nature for such a phenomenon? What was the point of five rather than 4 or 6? ...Then, I looked at my own hands and felt silly. Still, that connection made me happy.

[hotcupoteckla]

Also, if they needed two for arms(to manipulate something with their trigripper hands), and had to have feet, while being rocks, three makes a good number for stability.

[thecryptkeeper]

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

[notes-and-violets]

I've been seeing some very fun/cursed Eridian Ocs circling around, and I wanted to finally toss in one of my own..! Meet Tall Creature, Archy!

[hotcupoteckla]

OP, this OC is beautiful - point to note:

This eridian could not have be slept on until it was a large eridian, so this might have been seen as a ostegensis imperfecta type disease amongst eridians(FRAGILE), until they grew past their support threshold. This might be why they don't mind being climbed on; they didn't get to as a kid.

Can you imagine how Grace would cry if he found out the full story of Archie??

A weakness over time turning into a strength? <3
