As much as I think it would be fun to have emotive anthropomorphic ears, I also recognize I can barely control my facial expressions. Like hell can I keep from Angry Ears-ing during meetings

[initiala]

This is who you’re having a meeting with, by the way.

In an ancient forest, shallow pools reflect not the trees above, but a luminous city of elsewhere.

The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.

I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

I feel like zombie settings could do more to make slow zombies scarier in quiet, creeping ways. Zombies facing away from people. Walking backwards. Only moving if they're not seen. Holding a survivor but not hurting them. Motionless but their eyes follow you. Soundless horde.

Encountering fast zombies: Physical challenge

Encountering slow zombies: Psychological terror

[ibapoque]

Ohh okay okay okay I like this.

If zombies are a representation of the breakdown of society, the traditional zombie is a more noticeable, violent, immediate collapse of society.

The slow, quiet, still zombie is more about the societal collapse we don't see until it's too late, one that doesn't happen suddenly and drastically but one that happens without a fuss. The violence doesn't become the focus of the tension, the violence is the release of it.

Zombies sitting at tables, doing nothing for days, just staring silently while you search for food. Zombies walking endlessly through the same trails they did in real life. Zombies sitting at the bus stop, waiting for the bus to move. It never will. Zombies that are not mindless drones, they're beings whose sanity is lingering in darkened secluded places of their self, ready to burst forth in unsuspected ways. Humane in absolute cryptid ways and inhumane in the most human way possible.

Character in a zombie series: What are those Things™? Those Things™ can’t be human… at least, not anymore. If I get bit, take me down, I don’t wanna be one of those… Things™. Me:

Viserys being mad at Daemon for what he did to Rhaenrya when she was 17 and saying “She's just a girl” when he literally married her best friend when she was 15. Viserys I'm glad you're dead.

[futuregws]

If you seriously think Rhaenyra raped Criston in that scene on episode 4, you really need to take a step back and evaluate the situation they were both in bc not everything is black and white there, and if y'all wanna say that act wasn't consensual then if anything SHE was raped, bc she was a minor, he was a grown man, she was drunk and he was sober, he was supposed to protect her but didn't. So really get your brains working, or just stop pulling shit out of your ass bc it gets to a point

The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"

[caspercryptid]

On the one hand it's a bit of a pick me up in a dark place to know that this will pass because it has passed before on the other hand sometimes it isn't entirely a pleasant thought to go "wow, I used to feel like this all the time. That was pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad right now too also."

[caspercryptid]

Someday your current baseline will be the sort of thing you consider A Really Bad Day. It does get better.

The death of credible government is darkly hilarious in a cosmic sort of way. Obviously, the FDA is useless now. Therefore, we must place our trust in more credible institutions, such as Taco Bell, which has been far more transparent and proactive in handling this parasite business.

[peachesandcows]

I’m gonna need you all to get more obsessed with Supergirl 2026. It’s literally every single sarcastic, messy, depressed, grieving, male lead from recent media that accidentally adopts an angry, young girl (also grieving) which forces him to confront his self destructive behavior and realize the impact he can still make. But she’s a girl. This is the character you all love in every piece of media. I’m begging you all to adore her the same way.
