You are 60% water and every lake, river, pond, swamp, creek, and ocean you encounter wants to reclaim it desperately. Be careful out there.

Good, I hope it haunts everyone about to enter a body of water so bad that they wear a life jacket. 🙌

[should-be-sleeping]

Every single person I knew (past tense) who has drowned was "a strong swimmer." Water in the wild does not care how good you are at swimming.

[should-be-sleeping]

I mean this with all due respect:

You are not going to pass a skillcheck against a rip current once it has you.

Waves will not bow to your physical prowess no matter how impressive.

Shock does not care that you used to be on your school swim team.

If you hit your head, being good at swimming isn't going to turn you face-up while you're unconscious.

You may be unable to return to shore. Rescue may be unable to find you quickly.

Scheduling this for when weather starts warming up. Be careful swimming this summer

midsummer: if the feudal strictness of your home kingdom can’t give you what you want, try going on an adventure guided by magical supernatural beings

macbeth: but not like that

hamlet: if you’re in a duplicitous violent world, your king and your peers and your girlfriend may lie to you, so only follow the advice of your steadfast best friend

othello: but not like that

as you like it: if you undergo a misfortune that causes you to hate your life in your city, give yourself a makeover and run away to the woods

timon of athens: but not like that

two gents: if you’re in love in italy, you can quickly and easily communicate important information via the verona postal service

romeo and juliet: but not like that

[ros-sauce]

I'm not against portraying uncomfortable things obviously but some of you are way too excited about depicting bigotry in stories that don't benefit from it

[ros-sauce]

If you're going to write that microaggression or macroaggression you need to think long and hard about Why it's there. Because I am so sick of seeing copies of the hatred I see in real life used for

Manufacturing a situation in which your damsel in oppressed gets romantically rescued from the bigots by their partner

Showing everyone youre an edgelord

Shut up !!!

the prince has begun practicing curtseying in the mirror. which could mean nothing.

[heydocverdant]

we have good news and bad news, my liege. the good news is that we now know what that curtsying was about: you will be pleased to know that, after several heartfelt conversations between your child, the court jesters and a myriad of singing woodland creatures, you are now the parent of a proud and joyful new princess. the bad news is that, due to a series of events related to the dragon-sized hole in her bedchamber wall,

[illmoraineakoi]

I love the insinuation that the second the princess realized she was a girl and thus actually a princess, the dragon was there. That thing wasted no time. It heard "princess" and was like "I need no further invitation, here I come."

Gender affirmed by Dragon. Amazing.

pretty sure you’re literally the only person who understood my vision on this accursed post

The funniest bit of information we got this episode is the fact that Occtis "Died a virgin, catastrophically fumbled Dr. Amry Talter" Tachonis somehow doesn't have the worst game in his family. That honour goes to his brother Ethrand, the mere idea of whom causes women to flee in the opposite direction.

A creature I designed for Subnautica 2: the Hycean!

Inspired by pelagic snails like heteropods and siphonophores.

someone who is attempting to put their fav male character in a blender will say you hate your fav female character if you put her in a slight angst scenario, don’t let this deter you, she deserves the blender as well

I don't think I've ever posted any of my cephaloshroom art on here, so let's fix that! Starting with this scientific poster of them.

[cerastes]

I don’t think we ought to normalize or justify bullying as a means to keep people from being annoying — a sentiment that in and of itself could make for a whole article’s worth of conversation — but I do think we should make a habit of politely but directly telling people “hey I didn’t like that”, “that wasn’t funny”, “you are mistaken”, and the like if it’s called for, and more importantly, you should be able to take a “that wasn’t funny” for instance without taking it personally, because protecting a polite harmony where no one can criticize each other, not even politely, is also really, really bad.

In light of the no.1 trending topic on this site, I'd like to inform youse that Kitty Kendall, one of the survivors who bravely spoke out against Neil Gaiman and accused him of rape in 2025, has said here and here that if you are looking to support her and other survivors, you can make a donation to OurVOICE (the counselling service Kendall herself used) or your local rape crisis centre. If you can't make a donation, you can help to ensure people do not forget what Kendall and other survivors have gone through and continue to go through as they pursue legal action, and that Gaiman has already spent a lot of money in the attempt to sue these women for speaking out.

Can't wait for the Seekers to get back so Thaisha and Occtis can learn that their weird coffin ate Lady Cormoray. Can't wait for the Soldiers to get back so Wick and Tyranny can learn that Grandma is Jesus now. Can't wait for the Schemers to get a well-earned paid vacation and free therapy
