Whenever people ask me "why don't you know xyz, it's so popular" well see it's because
The world doesn't revolve around one country. What is popular over there might not be the same in another country and it's totally normal but pop culture for example is a global thing like most people know Ariana Grande. This is just an example.
Yeah pop culture is universal and most societies like the same stuff, just like how everyone knows who Zhou Xuan, Dhanush, and Mia Guissé are and we all know and love the classic holiday season movie Al-Risâlah

I think this is the dumbest comic ive done lol
Today a student had me talk to their mom on the phone to explain that yes, they really did have a field trip today, and yes, that does happen in college, and normally at this point (in my admittedly limited experience with calls like that) the next question is less a question and more a ‘well that’s dumb, don’t you think that’s dumb’
but this lady asked me if snacks would be provided and if so what kind because her son was a picky eater & this poor boy is just bright red and yelling from the back seat that he packed his own lunch and snacks & mom (who is very aware she’s on speaker phone) goes ‘sorry for loving you and worrying about you, you little shit’ which made him just screech the word ‘mom’ like he was a tween in full angst mode
& as of right now I’ve heard two students do radio checks on the other field teams where they signed off with ‘sorry for loving you and worrying about you, you little shit’ which gives me a very unprofessional case of the giggles
For the anon that requested the princess and knights au... the concept of the boys club being the knights club with only 1/3 members being a knight 😭
Experiments in Shrink-Wrapping
There was some recent discussion on the Palaeoblr Discord server about the ridiculous amounts of “shrink-wrapping” that a lot of prehistoric animals get in palaeoart.
A QUICK EXPLANATION:
For those of you who don’t know, shrink-wrapping is a word used in palaeoart to refer to a reconstruction where the skin of an animal is shown basically clinging to the skull or the skeleton, as if it has been shrink-wrapped onto the animal. Here’s a good example of shrink-wrapping in modern palaeoart:
[source]
Although this is a fairly tame example, the shrink-wrapping is still visible. See how the skin traces around every hole and dimple in the skull, the teeth are exposed and you can see the outlines of the shoulderblade, backbone and hips? That’s shrink-wrapping. In real life, these bones were probably covered in muscle and fat, like in most modern animals.
OKAY, BACK TO THE STORY:
So, in the light of this rampant shrink-wrapping epidemic, fellow palaeoblr artist @cheetahtrout decided to take suggestions for animals to “un-shrink-wrap”, restoring them with a proper amount of muscle and fat. I joined in, and we both drew the same animal, then compared the results.
First up, we drew Titanophoneus, a large predatory synapsid, based on this skeletal diagram. I gave it a big, thick neck and some powerful jaw muscles, filling out the shape of the head. I also covered up the teeth with some nice thick lips, to protect them from drying out. If you look, you’ll notice that most modern mammals have lips covering their teeth, even animals like hippos and baboons, which have enormous teeth for their size.
The other challenge was the gorgonopsid Sauroctonus. The reference was this skeletal diagram. Gorgonopsids are very often shrinkwrapped in palaeoart, usually to make them appear more menacing, as they were the apex predators of their time. The shrinkwrapped example I showed at the start of this post is also a gorgonopsid. @ridiculouslyphotogenicsinosaurus joined in on this one.
And here it is! Compare this Sauroctonus to the gorgonopsid at the start, and you should be able to see some key differences. This guy has a lot more bulk to him, since in modern animals the shape of the skeleton is often covered up with muscle, skin, and fat. Gorgonopsids were most likely built for power rather than speed, so they would have been quite thick and muscular.
The other main difference is in the mouth. I’ve drawn an open mouth for this guy as well to make it easier to tell what’s going on. The lips droop down and cover the teeth when the mouth is closed, and when it’s open you can see that the actual mouth does not go all the way back to the edge of the jaw like it does in many shrink-wrapped restorations.
After all that I though I should try taking the idea of ‘anti-shrink-wrapping’ to its extreme. And so, I proudly present to you … the Bullet Man
this is what the Psittacosaurus actually looked like trust me I was there

please read this story of a man accidentally discovering his wife is the world's best Tetris player
[image description: an excerpt of text that says:
“It’s funny,” I told Flewin. “We have an old Nintendo Game Boy floating around the house, and Tetris is the only game we own. My wife will sometimes dig it out to play on airplanes and long car rides. She’s weirdly good at it. She can get 500 or 600 lines, no problem.”
What Flewin said next I will never forget.
“Oh, my!”
/end id]
TL;DR on the article
The husband was writing an article on classic video game records, was surprised to find out that holding the Tetris record is a bit of a big deal, and mentions how good his wife is at it.
The guy he’s talking to mentions that the record is 327, way lower than his wifes usual scores of 500-600.
They travel to a tournament, and she goes to do her attempt. Just after she beats 327, and is climbing higher, a judge brings up to the husband that the specific version she’s playing actually has a different record of 545.
She overhears that she needs to beat 500-something, and keeps going, setting the record at 841.
which, they later find out, is her second-best record
There was a decent but ultimately forgettable fantasy novel I read a long time ago that had a single moment that stuck with me.
The protagonist has just won the world famous sword fighting competition in the big, rich capital and is talking to his mentor, and says something about being the best swordsman in the world. The mentor frowns and tells him that no, he isn't. He is the best swordsman out of the people that could afford to show up to this tournament. There could be a mercenary way out in the mountains, patrolling a snow encrusted fort's walls that could kick his ass and there was no way to know until he was already losing to the guy.
I think about that a lot, and how for every apparently dominant competitor, there might be a fucking ronin out there somewhere capable of destroying them.
Always reblog tetris ronin lady
It's somehow genuinely infuriating when someone who's a shitty person is also a genuinely talented artist. Like how can you have enough intellectual drive to develop a good eye for aesthetics and a great taste for visuals and also somehow never develop enough as a person to have something worthwhile to say. Like fuck off.
fanfic is extremely hard
