Doctor: What do you see in this X-ray?

Students: *collective gasp*

Doctor: Please don’t do that in front of patients.

[drferox]

Some alternative statements you could consider when your initial reaction is just ‘!’:

I’m glad we took that X-ray

Well this is almost certainly diagnostic

[gallusrostromegalus]

When one of my classmates broke my leg in 2nd Grade, there was an entire fiasco and I nearly died but I do remember the guy from radiology storming out to the little curtain area I was in and SLAPPING the X-ray up on the back light and the doctor actually shouting "JE-YAY-SUS! No wonder the kid doesn't have any damn blood!"

[hellenhighwater]

Whereabouts do you live, roughly speaking, and what drew you to that place in particular?

I'm in Michigan, and that's as specifically as I will answer that question! We have really lethal lakes.

[lucime]

Seconding the tags. Lovely poetry

[hellenhighwater]

look, yes, of course a pond will kill you. A little-L lake will kill you, if you are careless enough, but they are lazy things, pitcher plant predators, and they do not hunger. The Great Lakes remember when they were the blistering endless winter and the slow crush of ice reshaping the land. They remember the implacable starvation of an unbreaking cold across the continent, and they carry that ancient ice water in their bellies, hungry still. Lake Superior wears her winter boldly, and she will wrench frigid breath from your lungs in the heat of August and pull you, unrotting, to her depths. Huron beckons you further and further from shore with such a gentle slope, so easy, until you are finally chest-deep in the water but you cannot see the shore anymore, only the endless expanse of her. Erie sends her fogs like snowfall, whiteout blizzards, blinding you to her rocky shallow basin, reaching up to claw the belly of boats. Lake Michigan pretends, charming, a child's ocean, and her longshore tides creep along her beaches and tear away anyone foolish enough to believe the clear blue lie of her docility, most lethal of all.

Ontario is no business of mine.

[hellenhighwater]

Here, in order of appearance: Superior, Huron, Michigan and Erie.

[hellenhighwater]

The Great Lakes aren't haunted. No matter what anyone says, the Lakes aren't haunted. They are the memory-eaters, the old dark painted over with charming blue, and what sinks does not rise, not even the dead. When the Lake raises goosebumps, it isn't the bodies in the depths. It's just the Lake, reminding you that you are mostly water and water calls to its own.

The oceans, the old saltwater womb, warn you with every breaker that they are dangerous. The oceans never let you forget that you crawled from their hold, with your saltwater veins, but not all of your ancestors did, and there are things beneath the ocean tides, waiting with teeth to spill the blood you stole. The oceans with their shawls of hurricanes, their steady beating, make it impossible to forget the threat of them.

But the Great Lakes? The Lakes will lie to you. The Lakes will not gift you the buoyancy of saltwater, will tempt you with still surfaces and cool drinkable freshwater. The Lakes will promise that there is nothing with teeth waiting below, as though the Lake itself is not the maw of something hungry. The Lakes are new to the world, in the scale of epochs, and they play games. They lap at your knees like they are tamed, but if you swim long enough there will be a moment where the Lake throws you sideways, pulls you under, and you remember that this is a wild thing, with teeth of ice and nothing but water in its belly. They hold the last breath of every foolish swimmer that lowered their guard for a second too long, and the carcasses of centuries of shipwrecks, and they do not surrender what they take. No, the Lakes are not haunted. The Lakes are not cursed. There is no monster waiting in the depths, only the depths themselves, and that is enough.

They say that freshwater doesn't lay quiet in its bed until it's had its measure of blood, and the Great Lakes are thrashing at their shorelines.

[hellenhighwater]

Oh, my darlings, bodies and shipwrecks and memories are not the only things the Great Lakes devour--seasons, too, the Lakes cling to. All summer long the Lakes hold tight to the chill of winter, scattering cool breezes off their shoulders onto the coast. All summer long the Lakes hoard heat, storing it down in the deep thermal reservoir of fresh water, the golden heart of sunlight tucked away for the dark winter months. All summer long the Lakes steal warmth from the air and store it away, and when the sharp northern winds bring winter, the Lakes breathe out the last ghost of summer and fling themselves skyward. When the air is freezing, the Lakes have held fast the deep battery of summer, and the warm memory of July evaporates from the water and crystallizes in the atmosphere as January snow. All summer long the Lakes trade in winter winds, and all winter they shake out the white storm coat of summer.

[anotherdayforchaosfay]

For those who don't understand their size: lay a map of the lakes to scale over Europe, then tell me they're not terrifying. I fucking love The Great Lakes.

i love seeing my non-ygo followers in my notes going "what the actual Fuck happens in yugioh" because there is no adequate way to answer that question. everything happens. everything you can possibly think of that could ever happen, happens in yugioh.

Malik mind controls a mime and turns it into an unstoppable killing machine

Yugi confesses his love for Joey then gets dragged to the sea floor by an anchor

Seto stops a guy from shooting him by blocking the gun's hammer with a card

Ancient Egyptian laser beam battle

Bakura gouges out a man's eyeball and licks it

Yugi's grandpa tries to beat a ghost to death with a frying pan

This is self-made. Date of creation: 14.12.2024

The influence the dc tv shows have on ships including certain characters like Barry Allen is just... wow. If you read fanfictions with Barry Allen you might not be surprised but I sure was...

I assume no guarantee or liability for the completeness, correctness and accuracy of this chart despite my best efforts.

Includes fanfictions in all languages available, NOT English only. Includes all fandoms on Ao3 connected to Barry Allen.

Percentages were rounded up or rounded down to natural numbers for easier comprehension.

Poly ships were included.

More charts will follow. :)

Happy black cat day!!

Here are some black cats I've drawn through the years

[urists]

Headlights are just too bright now. We gotta regulate them.

(And before anyone says it’s just an aiming problem - no. Like I apologize to the headlight aficionados clearly lusting after lighthouses, chernobyl, or the death star, but no amount of aiming is gonna fix the fact that the moment your car encounters any kind of hill, curve, or bump, my retinas are vaporized by a shade of blue-white previously known only to god. Just accept your limits and settle for a soft orange like the rest of us)

[brainrotallthewaydown1312]

this is no joke.

it's a legit safety issue. plenty of drivers who wear glasses or get migraines or any number of other things legit can't handle the brightness. it fully blinds multiple drivers I know. I have friends who do not have actual night blindness who avoid driving at night and limit to back roads at night because of this. I don't drive, but as a low vision passenger with photosensitive migraines, going somewhere at night is horrible for me. my vision comes and goes from the impact of those fuck-you-bright lights and I almost always come away with a migraine. I have been in cars where we have had to pull over because someone passed us with "cops spotlight" bright headlights and the driver legit couldn't see for a minute. I've been in a car that was inches from being driven off a protected drop because someone had lights bright enough that the driver flashed them to turn their brights off and the other persons response was to actually turn their brights on and it legit blinded the driver (and me in the passenger seat) for several minutes. we had to pull over and the other passenger had to drive because the original driver had a migraine after that. a few of these are definitely examples of assholes whose lights cannot be street legal, but several of them ASR just normal cars with center of the sun headlights.

after a certain point of brightness, it adds nothing to safety for the person driving the eye of Sauron car. and even if you want it past a certain brightness, the normalcy of the colder and colder blue white lights makes it even more dangerous. the brightness should be standardized, and the color of the light should be standardized to a warmer shade. more similar to the lights you used to see on cars. it's okay if the brightness standard is a bit higher than what those old lights were, but it should be far less than some of the people I've seen
