@natalieironside what's it like being one of the funniest mother fuckers on the planet?
I wish it paid more
Honestly? Valid.
yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.
I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.
Stole this from somewhere but i think it’s appropriate
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER | 6.07 "Once More, With Feeling"
nobody asked fitz to describe it as 'I felt myself turning and opening to it, as if it were my lover's mouth upon mine'. for that matter nobody asked ROBIN HOBB to describe it that way.
Rereading all systems red and the first 2 chapters are strong contenders of funniest intro to a book series. Jumping straight to action, and mb is giving us absolutely no info about anything. Who are those people? Some weird hippies it's not important. Why are they here? Mb does not give a shit. What is this planet? Fuck if it knows. Here is a small paragraph that fucking states everyone's relationship status like a wiki article that we are never gonna get back to. Ugh there are hostiles that keep us away from our media #our media.
Good evening everyone, specifically my murderbot peeps.
As we know, sometimes MB uses the entirety of its logs as a message for someone (the Mensah letter, helpme.file etc)
Well I was listening to fugitive telemetry again today, (I'm not gonna think about how many times I've listened to this book, but anyways) and this line at the end jumped out at me:
Indah said, “Good to see you in one piece.” Yeah, whatever. “You read my report?” “I did.” She added dryly, “I’m glad you documented the whole process. It’s good to have a reminder that we actually didn’t do too badly, except for that one basic wrong assumption.” The assumption that the perpetrator had entered the transport from inside the station instead of outside, she meant.
...
Unlike Indah, I wasn’t happy with our performance. Especially since I’d been the one to confuse everything by insisting the surveillance video on the transport dock had been altered. I just said, “I didn’t want anything to be left to the imagination.” “Probably for the best.” Then Indah sighed, and said, “I wasn’t the one who sent that photo of you to the newsstreams.” It was unexpected and it made me drop some inputs. I picked them back up again. I didn’t know what to say, because obviously what I should say was I didn’t think it was you except that was absolutely not true, I had been 96 percent sure it was her. She continued, “I wouldn’t use the newsstreams like that. If we have to fight about Mensah’s security, we’ll fight, but I won’t undermine you. Since we are actually both on the same side.”
Given that it includes a whole section in the book about how it assumes Indah sent its picture to the news feeds as petty revenge, and how much time it spends complaining about how lax they are about Mensah's security... Should we assume that Murderbot sent basically the entirety of Fugitive Telemetry to Indah as its mission report???
Desperately curious to hear people's thoughts about this.
Its my birthday, and ive realized ive not posted art in SO LONG, but ive never stopped drawing
so ive made myself a little birthday/new year goal, to suck it up, and just post stuff
so expect a very diverse amount of fanart and sketches in the coming weeks
starting with MURDERBOT, a series im obsessed with, new book in the series is out this month, Message me if you want to yell about it.
I sighed (internally, because if there aren’t any humans to see it and be annoyed by it there’s no point).
yeah this tracks
It is implied through gameplay mechanics that the two kingdoms at war in chess both formally permit regnal polygamy, allowing the King to take at least nine wives of equal status, and that marriage can be bestowed as a military honour, but curiously that honour - in stark contrast to the conventional attitudes of the aristocracy - can only be bestowed upon soldiers of the unlanded class, leaving great questions to be asked of the material interests and stability of these kingdoms' aristocracies

do Ents reproduce by sexual intercourse or by pollination
But if they reproduce through pollination how can they be sure they no longer reproduce? Maybe they’re anemophilous and are wind-pollinated and if they stand in a strong enough breeze an Entwife, somewhere, conceives an Entseed.
oh my god maybe the Entwives were bees
you are a mad genius
Ok, so, we have a few options:
1.) Ents reproduce exclusively through sexual intercourse, or something close to it
OR
2.) Ents reproduce via pollination and...
a.) are dioecious, with Ents producing only male flowers and Entwives producing only female flowers, and pollinated either by wind or by animals (or by hand?)
b.) have bisexual flowers, but which are so specialized that they can exclusively be pollinated by one specific species of pollinator...
The Entwives left the forest so long ago that the Ents no longer remember what they looked like. Treebeard says the Shire sounds like the sort of place they would have loved, with its gardens and flowers and agriculture. Hobbits have folklore of giant bees, named after bumblebees. Certain flowers only release pollen to “buzz pollinators”, like bumblebees.
Could it be that the Ents—who notoriously do everything slowly—failed to evolve quickly enough to compete with agricultural crops for the time and attention of their only pollinator species? Did the Entwives dump the Ents to evolve into regular bees faster than the Ents could even consciously process? DOES SAM GAMGEE THE GARDENER’S BOY KEEP ENTWIVES?!
I think we’ve done it. I think we’ve cracked the code. (Shut the fuck up, Jirt, no one asked you.)
It’s only in the movies that the Ents cannot remember the Ent wives. In the books they’ve described as having golden hair, red cheeks, and eyes like the Ents. Meaning the Entwives probably resembled the ents in appearance.
Likewise in the books the Ents were basically tree like giants instead of giant trees. As seen below
Peter Jackson reimagined the Ents as being giant trees instead of tree like giants so returning to the original question I propose a compromise:
Treebeard from the movies reproduces through pollination by the Ent Wives who are giant bees.
Treebeard from the books fucks. 
“Golden hair”?
“Red (butt) cheeks”?
Sounds like a rusty patched bumblebee to me.
reminder that despite decades of radio silence and through several layers of false identity, the fujoshis of Buckkeep Castle were so invested in Lord Golden/Tom Badgerlock that Fitz has to address gay rumors from his own daughter in his fucking 60s.
like Nettle is fresh off reading the vellums of smutty Goldenlock slashfic that have been traded about the Buckkeep washing court like the sacred texts they are for 20+ years and Fitz is all "I loved him like I loved no one in my natural life, our bond went beyond sex" babe she DOESN'T BELIEVE YOU. you just confirmed suspicions she even didn't know she had until she read Garetha's Fool's Fate fix-it ficscroll.
you gotta include this photo

This is it. The internet has come full circle. You can all go home now. We’re done.
saying "question mark?" and "however comma," out loud are game changers. punctuation on the go. and it's always the funniest thing that anyone around you has ever heard
