i wanna be so offline but unfortunately i love my mutuals and fanfiction

[vamptits]

it's just really apparent that people think it's okay to want pain but morally abhorrent to want to give it. sorry but the sadist gets to have fun too. it's actually pretty crucial to the process.

[vamptits]

if I said I was going to a taekwondo class would you feel the need to tell me kicking people on the street is bad or.

[Image IDs: Image #2: Tumblr post from crybabyyangel reading: why do normie blogs feel the need to put 'as long as everything's consensual' in the tags on informative or affirming king posts

yeah Jan without the consent its just assault, we don't really need you tell us you're not ok with assault on every kink post i think we could infer that from the fact that the post is about kink and not about assault

I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it

[the-punforgiven]

I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally

[the-punforgiven]

Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere

[the-punforgiven]

Also there is no way ravens wouldn't figure out spells, tbh

They're smart fuckin birds, I believe in them

Either through observing or just figuring shit out ravens could 100% learn how to cast spells I'm sure of it

[the-punforgiven]

Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it

[rathayibacter]

group of wizards who ask this in-universe, and after extensive study learn to their surprise that animals are casting spells all the time, just that their magic is so fundamental as to be unrecognizable to humans. turns out the only reason acorns grow on trees is because squirrels keep wishing for them.

[thatquietkid108]

When a species becomes extinct humans have to figure out what kind of magic they were doing to keep the ecosystem from becoming out of balance

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

You wake up one day and discover you've lost control over a random action or feeling!

Spin the wheel to find out what!

How bad is it?

Actually way better than before!

Its good

It's alright

It's annoying but I'll be fine

It's pretty bad

IM DEAD

worse than death

Nothing changes/results

thank god vampirism is a flexible metaphor

[quietwingsinthesky]

it’s about being queer it’s about surviving assault it’s about alienation and most of all it’s about how everyone who loved you before might not be able to even look at you now, no matter how many times you try to explain that you didn’t ask to die and you didn’t ask for that death to leave you only half-eaten when it got bored of you.

[marypsue]

This is without even mentioning the broader metaphorical implications of disease and contagion; foreign invasion; colonial or imperial violence; interpersonal abuse; generational trauma; religious trauma; violent cultural assimilation; repressed or suppressed desire; the fear of no longer being able to recognise or relate to someone you love; and on and on and on.

Vampirism is a flexible metaphor that reflects the anxieties and desires of its age and its authors, and I love that for it!

good morning to the beaten and the damned only

[beansfrombeans]

[dyrdeer]

when ur talking to a new online friend and they say "bloody" for the first time

[dyrdeer]

I have been corrected

[kosmogrl]

[transfemmbeatrice]

thought of this immediately and was delighted to discover it’s the same op

[ineedtogointhesea]

Motherfuckin NHS is ridiculous cause 5 max gastric emptying studies a MONTH is just stupid

Like ah yes don’t mind me I’ll just be in so much pain I’m unable to eat more than one meal a day most days and I’ve been waiting since MARCH and there’s still people waiting since DECEMBER 2025

Oh and they prioritise cancer pathway patients as well regardless so fuck anyone else basically

Not to mention it’s taken 2 AND A HALF FUCKIN YEARS TO EVEN GET THE APPOINTMENT TO BOOK THE FUCKIN STUDY IN THE FIRST PLACE

Like ah nah don’t mind me I’ll just be in pain till I die then! And I can’t even NOT eat because I have stupid insulin resistance which causes post prandial hypoglycaemia which then makes me feel even WORSE so the solution is to eat high sugar high carb foods so I don’t get hypoglycaemia as often BUT THEN THEY JUST MAKE ME PUT ON WEIGHT BECAUSE IM STILL HOUSEBOUND AND IN BED 23 HOURS A DAY

I’m just so fuckin tired of needless waiting. Someone tell my body to either get on with it and kill me or fuckin fix itself because I can’t deal with this shit anymore

[catilinas]

everyone i've talked to about this has been completely unaware so: if you didn't know already, there's going to be a solar eclipse, with totality or coverage of 90% or more in some places, over a lot of europe, on august 12th 2026. in the uk it will start just after 6pm, and the maximum will be at 7:13pm.

here is a map of the path of the eclipse (from timeanddate)

get eclipse glasses if you want to look at it. it is not safe to look at through sunglasses. ok informative post over o7

[delta-orionis]

If you’re not in the path of totality (the red part), you won’t get to see the full eclipse, but if you’re in the orange parts you’ll still see part of the sun covered!

This does result in funky shadows, like you said:

It’s easiest to see with shadows cast by things like leaves.

You can also make a pinhole projector:

DIY Pinhole Projector to Safely Watch a Solar Eclipse

Instructions on how to DIY a pinhole projector using cardboard and household items, to safely see a solar eclipse.

DO NOT look directly at the sun even if it’s a partial eclipse. Use eclipse glasses or something like the pinhole projector I linked above.

One fun effect I’ve noticed during a partial eclipse is that the temperature will significantly drop for a few hours, which is especially noticeable in the summer. It can drop as much as 30 degrees F (~15 degrees C) depending on how much of the sun is covered in your location, so keep an eye out for that as well.

Have fun watching the eclipse!

[darkersolstice]

One of my favorite ways to play with a partial eclipse is to use a cheese grater or colander:

The holes are perfectly round. But in this moment, the sun was not.

There are SO many ways humans and Eridians compliment each other, and I don't even think some were intentional. For example: Lots of fan content I've seen has been kind of thoughtlessly projecting humanity's heat seeking behaviour onto Eridians. Reading the biology document, however, has made me infer something — Eridians love the cold.

They sleep at night, even in the absence of a light cycle, because that's when the temperature drops. Unlike humans, they don't use blankets. They don't try to preserve heat. They want to cool down faster, because because that's what their body needs shut down and rest! They RELAX in the cold!

Not only that, but their version of breathing is a constant influx of cool air. If they're without that coolant for even a few minutes, they're in serious trouble, and after half an hour, they're dead. Unlike us, they're at constant risk of overheating.

But not while they have a source of cold nearby. Like, for example, a human who lives at a fraction of their temperature.

On the Hail Mary, Grace spends a lot of time pressed against Rocky. Their temperature differences are extreme enough that xenonite can't entirely halt the heat transfer, so it's pleasantly warm. He feels like a cat curling up by the fire. It's relaxing. Of course, he also feels a little bad that he's draping his freezing raincloud of a body all over Rocky, but he figures Rocky puts up with the unpleasant cold okay.

Except: Rocky is chasing the cold just as much as Grace is chasing the heat.

Grace's muscles unwind with a constant heat press. Rocky relaxes with en endless source of peaceful, relieving cooling. What a funny quirk of biology, Rocky thinks, that being so incomprehensibly opposite to each other is so pleasant. What a lovely quirk of fate, that they've been given the opportunity to learn that through each other.

[wildminti]

Rocky was going to say "fans of PHM" but Grace panicked! 🏳️‍🌈

[wildminti]

I think the most logical reason for "why can Rocky say that word?" is that he bullied Grace until he got what he wanted (100% success rate)

[whoreiorcats]

i think ao3 should have a feature like an anonymous kudos but instead of kudos its "i jorked it to completion" and you can leave as many of these as you want and obviously authors would opt-in to this feature on a per-fic basis but like. i want the stats, you know.

[whoreiorcats]

jerk it to fanfiction??? noooo bro i was just joshing ya. wouldnt that be crazy? haha. fucking got you bro i cant believe youre so gullible. what a far fetched notion. that people would do such a thing. cant believe you fell for it

[teaboot]

what annoys me about explaining evolution to people who don’t think it’s real is that everyone’s idea of how it works seems to be from this

Whereas the reality is far more like

Was not expecting this many of you to resonate with Millennium Death Plinko

it’s psychological horror to YOU. to me it’s a romcom
