complimented a cashier on her turtle pin this morning and she said "oh thanks, I am a little bit of a Turtle Person" with the carefully contained energy of Cookie Monster telling you he's mildly fond of chocolate chips

I hope she and the multiple tons of turtle merch she definitely has at home are having a wonderful day

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF NATIONAL MOTH WEEK

what is ur favorite moth of all time?

[toldentops]

do not get me wrong here. Senshi is a beautiful man. A sexy man, even. But a “tumblr sexyman” he is not. first and foremost the hallmark of a tumblr sexyman is going to be “you want to fuck That?”. You do not Make something a tumblr sexyman on purpose. “Lets make senshi a tumblr sexyman so theyre not all white and skinny” defeats the point. And do not get me wrong! There is something to be said about how the majority of non-human characters in fandom(bill cipher, wheatley, purple guy, etc) get interpreted as skinny white men…white majority fandom spaces, yknow? Anyways my point is. Tumblr sexyman is an observational category. Do you see people making hyper specific aus of senshi to the point that he might as well be someone’s oc? No…but you know who they are doing this to…? Tenna. He needs to win that tumblr sexyman poll. Ryland grace has nothing on him. I’m begging

[toldentops]

I have more thoughts on the matter. The status of “tumblr sexyman” is almost never a measure of the quality of the character itself. It’s always been the fandom response. I’m going to compare Senshi to Sans Undertale because unlike all the guys on any tumblr sexyman list, sans isn’t a skinny white guy and thankfully isn’t portrayed as one, shockingly. Someone in the tags mentioned that liking tumblr sexymen has a certain level of theater kid esque indulgence/shame to it. Sans is a cartoon skeleton and every who likes him knows it. I don’t think anybody is doing “hear me outs” on senshi because he’s already hot. You know you’ve hit gold on a tumblr sexyman if the character itself is producing its own fandom largely divorced from the source material. People making extensive AUs where different sans interact with each other, “sans fangirls” being a thing, sans himself being a meme outside of being an undertale fan, making up lore about the skeletons in general and making skeleton ocs…the list goes on. With all due respect I earnestly do not think this is happening with Senshi! And again, none of this has to do with the quality of their characters, they are both excellent characters. I think part of this is due to the fact that Dungeon Meshi already has such an established world that taking a character and running with it would feel out of place. I’ve seen Kabru get more of a tumblr sexyman treatment than Senshi does.

Putting Tenna side by side to sans, and people are doing the exact same thing. “Spamtenna” feels like its own fandom. People are drawing Tenna shipped with himself. People are drawing yuri of him for crying out loud (something to be said about fandom caring more about yuri versions of men over canon female characters but that is a discussion for another time). People like The Character so much they are doing literally anything with him! Even with Tenna thankfully the times are changing, his most popular human interpretations aren’t even white.

Maybe it isn’t fair to allude to Sans when talking about Tenna because they’re both made by the same guy, and similar fandoms are going to have a similar response to these kinds of quirky characters, but I digress. The fact that Tenna fans on twitter are drawing him pathetically begging for him to be voted for, in increasingly skimpy outfits, speaks volumes

did a bit of driving through the state of georgia today and wound up driving through a small town that i later discovered was called newborn, which is an odd name but doesn’t technically have anything wrong with it, except for the fact that i nearly gave myself whiplash doing a double-take at a building sign advertising NEWBORN TAXIDERMY

It's my cat's birthday (anniversary of me getting him) so I told him the story of his life while petting him real good

Highlights include:

For your first two years (when you were small) you lived in a foster home with people who raised you into a very polite young man. Two is like you plus me, that's what two is.

Some people adopted you before me and they called you Timmy (which is a stupid name) and they returned your ass almost immediately because you were so annoying at that age.

Like think about how annoying you are right now at seven years old, but way worse.

I'm better than them though, I don't call you Timmy and I wore earplugs to bed for three years because you love to scream at bedtime. Earplugs are like when I roll over and go back to sleep even when you are yelling so so so loud.

I got you at a time in my life when I was really sick (being sick is like when I'm up late because I'm throwing up and you are a very handsome good boy who sits with me) and they had to put me asleep for a procedure. A procedure is like what happened to you when they put you asleep and took your balls away.

Now you've lived with me for five years. Five is like the number of toe beans on one of your feet. When I clip your nails five is when we're halfway done. But we're hopefully not even halfway done with how long we get to be together. I'm gonna have to figure out new ways to help you count.

Actually I've decided this is a poem

[thesummoningdark]

The last week has been so ridiculous even the satirists can’t take it any more

[the-stray-liger]

the fucking timestamp

[thesummoningdark]

Happy tenth birthday to this post which will apparently haunt my notifications for all eternity.

It’s about Brexit, by the way. The timestamp is a week post-referendum. Newsthump is UK-based and I myself am scottish. And yes, things have 100% got worse since then, but personally I regard the referendum as the point at which we entered the Clownshoes Timeline.

Being 30 is fun. I was discussing anime with a teen at work and asked her how much of bnha she had watched. She had trouble answering and wasn't sure how to approach it. I said "better question was who was your husbando" and she turned bright red before mumbling an answer. They never expect me to know how deep their love of anime boys runs....

[fangirlinginleatherboots]

One time she said she used to be into BL and another employee down the hall asked what BL was and I yelled back "ITS YAOI" which reduced the teen to yelling "ITS SOFTCORE! SOFT CORE!!" So I yelled back "ITS SOFTCORE YAOI" anyway I get why dads are like that now

Nova's tips for beating the heatwave:

1. Check that you have good access to shade trees, a shelter custom made to fit you and all your friends, and plenty of good airflow

2. Find the hottest, sunniest, and least windy part of you pasture and lay down

3. Make sure you look as much as possible like you have died of heatstroke

4. Get your friends in on it
