Wavemother's Robes this wavemother's robes that... When are we going to start talking about the game's ACTUAL sexiest armor set?

[meanbossart]

I never beg for numbers on posts but can we keep this one going only so I can keep enjoying reactions like this. Like, can DU Drow Booty just become a staple in everyone's feeds until everyone is sick of it

[liminalbeauty]

Will happily do my part.

[jelalee]

meanboss ass... meanboss ass...

drow ass found

[cannidolly]

ponyplay but I haven't been desensitized yet so you just wave a plastic bag in my face

how it feels to message a friend who's having Problems that you can't do anything to help with.

this tiktok screenshot ruined my life i need to see the serbian pigeon movie so so badly but it doesn't exist it's so foul to make this bad of a point with something so cool and then take it away from me.

[deseretgear]

Tiktok marvel fans really will be out here like "movie fan SHOCKED because i'd rather watch superhero movie #54 in blue and not a sensual 1987 french horror film about a man discovering his wife may not exist set in what is gradually revealed to be a space station" as if you're supposed to agree that superhero movie #54 is the clear winner in this comparison

[kirbymongerr]

Love the idea of a story about a complex issue that's told from the perspective of something that cannot comprehend or care about the issue. The way the story would be sliced up and moments that a human would consider pointless would be focused on because the pigeon happened to be there would be hype as fuck

Ok FINE I made the movie poster of it

Mališa, otherwise known as Little One, is a pet pigeon owned by a conservative butler of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. She is loved, and she is pampered— until her owner is murdered in cold blood, and she is left to fend for herself in Sarajevo.

In the wilds of the city, she feeds from the poor, working nationalist radicals, and the vieux riches alike.

To Mališa, there are no ethical concerns. No politics. No burgeoning nationalism.

There are only hands that feed her, and hands that do not.

[headspace-hotel]

This is compelling. Consider me fucking compelled.

Final shot is the bird hearing, but not seeing, the sound of a .32 ACP pistol, and flying away in shock

so sorry but no, fanfics don't count (even if they're novel length). you can define "read" however you'd like -- physcial book, ebook, audiobook, etc. and it's up to you whether you count dnfs!

[sadclowncentral]

so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.

it makes you a fruit.

You know, I’m not autistic but sometimes people think I am because I’m blunt or something but really I’m just German

[what-even-is-thiss]

Something something about how other peoples cultural norms are often seen as some kind of disorder or something.

I mean my German-Russian/Scandinavian family is just straightforward and doesn’t show a lot of emotion because that’s what we do?

It’s like how in some cultures any eye contact at all is rude and those people have a difficult time adjusting to cultures where eye contact is expected.

Like armchair diagnosing people based on surface level behaviors is kind of rude also in my opinion.

I don’t care if I’m autistic or not. I mean I’m not, but it wouldn’t matter to me if I was. My point is that behavior outside of what you personally expect doesn’t necessarily mean anything about a person. And also maybe don’t armchair diagnose strangers on the internet.

Delighted to inform you that this quiz exists:

A rigorous diagnostic. 15 questions. One uncomfortable truth.

[what-even-is-thiss]

As I thought.

[apricops]

I think I’ve been reading too much about early modern Europe because I just heard someone go “of course Christians don’t think the communion wafer is actually the body of Christ, it’s a metaphor” and I said out loud “girl no they started wars about this.”

Which is kind of a pedantic thing to say! because absolutely that’s a benign and perfectly reasonable statement in the year 2026 but for a second I felt like there was an absolutely gobsmacked 17th century Austrian priest watching over my shoulder

[animate-mush]

A perfectly reasonable statement in the year 2026 if you've never met (or heard of??) a Christian who isn't Protestant I guess????

Heck I think most High Protestants have some sort of doctrine of the Real Presence - Anglicans sure do at least.

This isn't some esoteric historical curiosity, it's a pretty egregious misrepresentation of the majority of modern Christendom

[exactly-one-gremlin]

preserving the tag because oooooooooo boyyy it is both correct and important. saying "nobody really believes that" makes it sound -- intentionally or not -- like you think it's a stupid thing to believe and everyone with that sincere belief is either stupid or self-deceptive. so maybe don't be an asshole! if you sincerely think that a piece of theological doctrine is less relevant or less literally interpreted than it used to be in the same faith ... say that instead!!

[mysticismmess]

My church is using AI for their social media and it makes me so angry, especially when they use it for stuff I'm running. How do I explain to the social media manager that this is deeply unethical and is going to reflect badly on the church and its ethics 😩

Also how hard is it to type up a bloody weekly schedule

[victusinveritas]

God, can you imagine someone from Finland (or wherever) heading to a Midwestern state fair and eating every variety of fried thing imaginable?

[lumiklovstad]

I can, and arguably I must.

[babystarbeam]

I always think that sport events, especially international ones, are primarily about fun and cultural exchange and hanging out together; it gets lost sometimes when people pay too much attention to keeping scores, but joy and building bridges should be more important. So glad this seems to be happening right now!

[raychleadele]

I don’t follow soccer at all so I have no feelings on the World Cup, but I’m loving seeing people discover the US for the first time and finding joy here.

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

I cannot emphasize enough how much fun it is to stuff your face full of barbecue and fried goodies, or how enjoyable it is to end up at a diner at 3 in the morning, shooting the shit with your buddies as you devour simple breakfast food.

"going out to get milk" is a common turn of phrase used to describe a man abandoning his family.

the "milkman" is a common figure in stories depicting a woman's infidelity and adulterous affair.

this implies that the ability to provide milk would both decrease the likelihood of a man abandoning his wife and children, as it would eliminate the need for leaving to get milk AND would secure that man's marriage, as his wife would have no need to seek milk from an extraneous source.

therefore, all men should produce milk, through various means such as:

- being a cow

- being an almond

- being a woman

- being a coconut

- being in the omegaverse

- being an oat

(list is exemplary and not finite)

in this essay, i will redefine the nuclear family and explain the seductive and inflammatory nature of the 1993 "Got Milk?" commercials.

[hppjmxrgosg]

you shut your mouth.

when i was a tiny baby queer (aka a 24-year-old), i went to my first pride festival probably three months after i kicked ex-gay therapy to the curb and came out to my parents. being the people they are, my parents came with me. they weren’t really sure about this whole gay thing, but they loved me and wanted me to be safe and happy and wanted to be involved in what was important to me, so they came along. (i also think my mother still might have thought i might get drugged or murdered or beaten by a protester of which there were plenty.)

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

“…it’s a cock and a pussy, Jules,” she says flatly, and that is the story of how i died at the age of 24 while attending my first pride festival.

[finnglas]

I love how every June this one gets dug up and passed around again, lmao.

[finnglas]

oh no is this what we’re doing now

[chanth-thara]

okay, i’m curious. let’s play a game. reblog this post and put in the tags the name of a fictional Indigenous character.

No headcanons, no ‘coding’, only CANONICALLY Indigenous characters. You have unlimited time. Go.

[chanth-thara]

if another FUCKING person mentions the fucking werewolves from twilight I'm going to burn this whole site down and take you all with me

[ivys-garden]

I first thought was Tiger Lily from Peter Pan but that's not exact... the best representation

Uhhh

Lily & T. Hawk from street fighter?

Damn we gotta start making more indigenous charaters

[ivys-garden]

OH WAIT!

Naru from Prey!

[myresin]

Ok so I somehow can’t think of any mainland Indiginous ppl from the US aside from Pocahontas and that dude she was supposed to marry…

My mind keeps going to pacific islanders. There was that dude on Rocket Power (the dad’s friend — idk most of their names anymore).

Oh and John Redcorn from Kind of the Hill

KAYA from American Girl!

Sometimes I wish you could block everyone in the reblogs of a post you’re not already following all at once. Sometimes basically everyone’s an asshole and I don’t want them talking to me

[lilacstarshine6]

At some point in writing your very weird fic you will look at it and wonder… does killing an egg once it’s laid and gestated count as infanticide or abortion
