Happy Star Wars Day! I’ve decided to make my Skywalker comic into one easily rebloggable post.

Here’s a bonus page in honor of May 4th!

Friend in an alleyway | my wife sent me this photo the other day and said "you HAVE to draw this." and I agreed completely <:

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

Nitrile and latex gloves that scientists wear while they are measuring microplastics may lead to a potential overestimation of the tiny poll

The gloves leave stearate particles, a kind of soapy thing, but it *looks* like microplastic, hence the contaminated data! Gloves are NOT shedding microplastics. (Adding this bc this was a misconception I had from the headlines! Glad I read one of the articles in full! Yay learning!)

A YA romantasy writer filed suit against another writer for copyright infringement, and as is always the case with these things, she padded her claims with delusionally spurious examples. The judge issued a 160-page ruling against the plaintiff where you can tell from the start how resentful they (or whatever clerk actually did the work) are to have been forced by duty to have read the works in question.

Do we actually know what happened to Maglor after he chucks his Silmarill into the ocean? I've been trying to find out but about all I can find is that he walks down the beach ever to be heard from again. Like, is that it? Does he die at some point that we know of and I'm just missing something?

As far as I know there is no information in any of Tolkien’s works about what happened to Maglor after that, and there is certainly no canon evidence that he dies or sails to Valinor, hence all the fics where Maglor is still around during the War of the Ring or in our modern world.

Maglor is a cryptid, and that is canon

Every time I hear Maglor is a cryptid + beach/ocean = I picture him as some kind of crab man with claws/pincers for hands

How does he play the harp then? 

Like this? Can someone please draw this who can actually draw worth a damn? Or maybe not? What have I done?

(@actuallyfeanor this is so much worse than me trying to draw Egalmothman)

Thanks I hate it

I seem to have suddenly forgotten what crabs and harps look like

[faustandfurious]

And here we see the elusive cryptid Crablor Fëanorion in its natural habitat

[faustandfurious]

@ahsnazg this is the original Crablor post. My reblog above is the first ever mention of the name Crablor

It makes me think of the mysterious Williamcoin I received in the mail recently.

Behold, One William.

So, very unfortunate news. I actually received a follow up in the mail, too.

[flowerbleedme]

You got me good. And it's funny. But WHY

[flowerbleedme]

So the subtitles are still the actual Naked Lunch subtitles, leading to some very funny syncs

I'm just skipping around because this is great. william s boroughs' writing was always meant to be seen this way
