[tarotsunset]

I’ve seen yall reblog the unfinished ones SO MUCH that I’m getting pissed, anyway here’s the full chicken nugget saga.

[extraterrestrialsprobably]

Awesome! Hope you’re happy somewhere, Chicken Nugget!

[magical-game]

I have missed this post so much! Let’s all celebrate Chicken Nugget!

[frivolousphantasies]

do you guys realize that,,,, chicken nugget is one of those butterflies that is perfectly half female and half male?? nugget’s left wing is typical of a female spice bush swallowtail and the right wing is typical of a male

a gender role smashing icon

[krystal-prisms]

I wondered why the wings looked different

[decorativeskull]

Incredible

[babygoose-deactivated20240106]

intersex icon

[oddity-txt]

He’s a bilateral gnandromorph!!

[sleepy-sphinx-deactivated202012]

WE STAN?????

[matthew-gubler-fangirl]

chicken nugget said intersex rights

[cowboybaedling]

This whole post is wonderful, but I think a lot of people don’t realise just how rare bilateral gynandromorphs are. Research has shown that only approximately 1 in 6,000 butterflies is a bilateral gynandromorph! So thanks so much @oddity-txt for sharing this wonderful being with us!

[piper-p-c]

This is like finding a shiny and not knowing until after you release it into the wild.

[masterofhamsters]

So can we talk about how Tokyo Mirage Sessions has more Shadow Dragon representation than Fire Emblem Warriors?

As much as I love Cordelia, I think making Caeda the main Pegasus Knight is the better choice.

(Plus, I’m still a little salty from the lack of overall representation but that’s irrelevant now that I’ve kinda come to terms with that)

[masterofhamsters]

Update: I didn't come to terms with it

[masterofhamsters]

So like do people still ship Elsa and Anna?

And if so, why?

Also, please stop.

[masterofhamsters]

I've come back from my long hiatus to say that while Endgame is not a perfect movie, I'll never understand people who are Anti-Tony Stark or who thinks Thor's character was assassinated.

Give a character very vital flaws and they become the scum of the earth.

Have a character regress for traumatic reasons and suddenly nothing about their previous endeavors matter.

Shut the fuck up already.

[tropiyas]

“i am a monument to all your sins” is such a fucking raw line for a villain it’s amazing that it came from halo, a modernish video game, and not some classical text or mythos

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

classic texts have nothing on the crazy people come up with in modern times tbh

[cerastes]

“I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.”

this is the source for this text and it haunts me on a regular basis

Huh, it’s almost like art isn’t just fine art…

“A world without forgiveness is a world without compromise and a world without compromises is a world without life, for even a simple-minded beast may forgive it’s transgressors to share a watering hole in the middle of a drought”- A meme I made at 2am before deciding to quit my last job

[cogcomics]

greatest spider-men conversation ever

[empgonzo]

You forgot the best part, because he gave him that burger Owen makes sure to bring Miles’ mom (who had died in his own series several years prior) back to life in the new universe. I’m not kidding.

[sindri42]

That is the absolute best bullshit comic book resurrection I have ever heard of.

[dyscomancer]

At this point there’s no excuse for a baby boomer to be technologically incompetent anymore. It’s just willful ignorance, this shit is not fucking hard

[dyscomancer]

“why is it asking for a password” because you’re logging into something martha, that’s how it’s been for the last 20 fucking years

“how do i do [x] can you show me” no dale you can Google it like the rest of us. it requires one exposure to the concept of googling to understand how it works. your generation was smart enough to cause a total economic collapse out of malice but not smart enough to type in a few words I guess

“im just not tech savvy” no you just refuse to learn because like in most things you are stuck in your ways

[dyscomancer]

the worst part is after you help an old fuck with some sort of tech bullshit 9 times out of 10 they’ll give you some kind of bullshit passive aggressive thank-you

like “oh i guess you young people have to know something about those phones you’re always on, huh?”

give me a fucking break gretchen i have depression from living in the economy you created and my phone is more of a reprieve than dealing with your stubborn inconsiderate ass

[dyscomancer]

AND ANOTHER THING that just gets my blood boiling is their ability to get into their settings, completely fuck things up, and then manage to develop total amnesia about how it happened

what do you mean you set your phone to japanese on accident, phil? there’s like 15 separate menus you have to navigate through to get there

“i think it’s because i got a virus” no greg it’s not a virus, the only viruses here are your rampant stupidity and the deadly pathogens carried by your unvaccinated grandchildren

[dyscomancer]

i just absolutely loathe that the people who decide if women should be executed for having abortions or not are the same people who can’t figure out how to work a blu-ray player with the instructions in front of them

[masterofhamsters]

So I don't know what to say but RWBY V6 has been quite enjoyable after turning my brain off a little. Maybe I should just try not to expect too much, but I've found these episodes quite good.

[rivalwrites]

I think the best piece of character design advice I ever received was actually from a band leadership camp I attended in june of 2017. 

the speaker there gave lots of advice for leaders—obviously, it was a leadership camp—but his saying about personality flaws struck me as useful for writers too. 

he said to us all “your curses are your blessings and your blessings are your curses” and went on to explain how because he was such a great speaker, it made him a terrible listener. he could give speeches for hours on end and inspire thousands of people, but as soon as someone wanted to talk to him one on one or vent to him, he struggled with it. 

he had us write down our greatest weakness and relate it to our biggest strength (mine being that I am far too emotional, but I’m gentle with others because I can understand their emotions), and the whole time people are sharing theirs, my mind was running wild with all my characters and their flaws.

previously, I had added flaws as an after thought, as in “this character seems too perfect. how can I make them not-like-that?” but that’s not how people or personalities work. for every human alive, their flaws and their strengths are directly related to each other. you can’t have one without the other.

is your character strong-willed? that can easily turn into stubbornness. is your character compassionate? maybe they give too many chances. are they loyal? then they’ll destroy the world for the people they love.

it works the other way around too: maybe your villain only hates the protagonist’s people because they love their own and just have a twisted sense of how to protect them. maybe your antagonist is arrogant, but they’ll be confident in everything they do.

tl;dr “your curses are your blessings, and your blessings are your curses” there is no such thing as a character flaw, just a strength that has been stretched too far.

[mareebrittenford]

This is such a fabulous flip side of what I’ve always known about villians. That their biggest weakness is that they always assume their own motivations are the motives of others.

[sawyersscribbles]

This is brilliant!!

[wizardshark]

“lol Android users be like-” your phone is designed to break down after a year, your apps are all programmed to draw unnecessary power after 2 years, all your accessories and hardware are arbitrarily made with only 1 kind of plug in mind so you can’t use them with anything else or get them from anywhere else, the cables are 150$ and break in a year, your phones will not charge if there is lint in the port, the stores will ask you for 150$ to remove that lint, the phone itself is 900$

But your chat bubbles are blue so that balances it out right

[wizardshark]

they literally removed the audio plugin and called it a benefit that it can now only work with their arbitrary wireless headphones. They coloured the phones a pinky gold and sold it for twice as much.

This isn’t a drag against you this is a drag against apple, the company. Their products are price hiked to an insane, impossible degree. They aren’t selling you the product, they are selling you the superiority of being able to smugly say you have an iphone. 

They deliberately built up a culture of apple supremacy (especially as a class barrier but i aint even gonna go into that), and now people are making posts like “lmao android users have a bad camera” (they dont) or “lmao android users send bad snapchats” (the android version of snap is deliberately coded to force lower resolution images in order to, surprise, get people saying that exact thing to further encourage #iphoneculture)

Buy an iphone if you want lord knows I’ve bought frivolouss things but can you PLEASE recognize youre being deceived??? theyre playing you every single time you make a post about your iphone and buy into their culture to squeeze more and more money out of you and divide the market and inevitably the classes. 

[dogaholic-catholic-deactivated2]

If I ever don’t reblog this assume I’m dead

[roseerin-deactivated20181218]

The iphone stands as a testament to the power of brand loyalty. theres no qualitative reason to buy iphones.
