if you want butterflies, you need to live with caterpillars.

i am not being metaphorical, i work in a garden center, stop buying plants 'to bring in the bees and butterflies' and then immediately poisoning every caterpillar that dares to consume a single leaf

you will not get butterflies if you kill all the things that turn into butterflies! what are you doing!

[bbyologist]

This! The people that I share my garden with hate this about me but every ounce of weed killer/insect repellant that gets used in or around my part of the garden needs to be really well justified or I will be making a scene about it.

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

NO its a JOKE and YOU DONT GET IT. ITS NOT THAT DEEP

[hiveswap]

While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive

[midnight-revolucion]

alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife

im going INSANE thats MY POST.

[marlinspirkhall]

It's your post but the journey to posting it changed it to such a degree that even its closest intimacies are now foreign to you. Sorry dude.

Medusa and her autistic girlfriend who can't make eye contact. Is that anything

Ok I just had to draw it

It is so ridiculously easy to gain a reputation for being competent by just reading signs.

This is not metaphorical. I mean actual, literal pieces of paper/plastic/metal/whatever explicitly erected to inform the public.

“How did you know this was the right trail?” I read the sign.

“Wow, how did you know what that flower is?” There’s a SIGN.

“How did you know we needed to use the side door?” THERE IS A SIGN POSTED ON THE FRONT DOOR.

Just…why are we having such different experiences of the world? People can read. I KNOW they can read. There’s nothing wrong with their vision.

Just. READ. THE. GOD. DAMN. SIGN.

This is what I was alluding to when I discussed that the volume of name changes you have to make as a trans person highlights the ridiculous amount of documentation attached to you.

One of the things Frieren does so well in the beginning is our intros to Fern and Stark. Not just the normal narrative, but the cunning deception. Fern and Stark are the apprentices! They're just starting out and so clearly much lower power than the 'professionals' right? Standard narrative logic.

Except they aren't just apprentices to anybody. They're apprentices to two of the four heroes who defeated the demon king. The bar is set differently. Yet even *they* don't realize this, because they haven't been around what would be their peers. This makes it easy for us to forget this too.

Which makes Stark vs the Dragon such a wonderful wake up. Oh right... Apprentice.... To Superman... Right. Expectations adjusted.

The same with Fern. The way she's taught to use 'basic' magic and her humble demeanor makes it easy to forget she is *really good* at that basic magic. It's the 'I fear not the man who has practiced one thousand kicks. I fear the man who has practiced one kick a thousand times.' angle.

All this makes the times they do flex pop so much more. Instead of being bombarded by over the top anime Godpower 24/7 until we go numb, when it hits it hits like a train.

July 24, 2026 - Anti-imperialist Venezuelan workers took to the streets this week in protest against the government's renewed ties with Israel, which the people condemned as a betrayal of the revolution and the Palestinian people, as well as the continued US occupation of Venezuela.

Since the kidnapping of President Maduro the Venezuelan state has expressed complete subordination to US interests, reopening access to the country's oil for American capitalists, and allowing the IDF to enter the country under the pretext of humanitarian aid. The US is estimated to have already extracted $15bn from Venezuela since the kidnapping of Maduro earlier this year. [video]

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

[watermelon-converse]

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

[sarostheghostcat]

MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY

[wafflebloggies]

moon day is 20th July!!!

[silly-jellyghoty]

Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!

[sashaforthewin]

Happy moon day to all who celebrate

[kitsuneofthemist]

This is your reminder to prep for Moon Day on July 20th.

[airagorncharda]

OH HEY, THATS TOMORROW

[starcrossed-sky]

Today (7/20/26) is also the 50th anniversary of the touchdown of the first spacecraft on Mars! Let's give Viking I a little love today too.

[overthinkinglotr]

Another hilarious thing I feel we should talk about more is the fact that *film* Aragorn and Arwen break up right before Aragorn leaves Rivendell……. meaning that film!Aragorn spends most of the quest in an “oh my god my relationship of 50 years just ended what do I even do with myself????” depression haze. 

It explains so much…..

Like. Externally Aragorn is on an epic quest to save Middle Earth, internally he’s crying on the couch in his sweatpants eating a tub of the Middle-Earth equivalent of Ben and Jerry’s

[overthinkinglotr]

Legolas: Aragorn?

Aragorn: Arwen used to call me Aragorn…..

Legolas: Because it’s your fucking name

[overthinkinglotr]

To be clear I actually love the film’s version of Aragorn/Arwen’s relationship, there’s a lot of Dramatic Potential/ angsty meta you could write on it, but–.

BUT

It’s also like– you think Aragorn has to put up with Legolas and Gimli’s annoying romance antics? Legolas and Gimli have to deal with Aragorn spending half the quest staring wistfully into the distance and sighing dramatically about What Can Never Be™…with how often he sings the Lay of Luthien,  basically the Middle Earth equivalent of Adele’s Someone Like You….

[overthinkinglotr]

Gimli: You haven’t washed your hair in MONTHS. We’re staging an intervention.

Aragorn (lying flat on the ground with his face in the dirt): aweralwkerjwae

Legolas: You’re only 87– you’ve got your whole life ahead of you. You can find love a second time!

Aragorn: I did. Boromir died.

Legolas: Maybe three is your lucky number!

[teddy-after-all]

#for me film Legolas’ main character trait#is that he’s incapable of reading the room (tags via @overthinkinglotr)

[sweetiepie08]

Aragorn, any time he gets a moment to himself during the quest:

[starr-bryte]

Gimli: This lovely Rhohirrim woman is clearly into you. She’s a fighter. You’re a fighter. She loves horses. You love horses (also you smell like one). Give her a chance!

Aragorn: *flashbacks to him and Arwen making out in Imladris while the elvish version of “when somebody loved me” plays in the background.

[ruffboi-mags]

He literally did this. (and then imagined Arwen kissing him before getting woken up by his horse)

[trickster-archangel]

At least he managed to wash himself AND his hair

I love hearing “I saw this and thought of you”
