NerdyNordic’s ramblings

Just stuff I come across that appeals to me

[penny-anna]

Do Eridians know they are different colours. I bet Grace's alien kids love finding out what colour they are. It means absolutely nothing to them but they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Some of them think he's making this whole 'colour' thing up to mess with them and try to catch him out by asking again on a different day to prove he's just saying random noises but he's like you are still blue buddy and they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Like if we met an alien species who had extra senses & they said that some humans felt spingly and some humans felt spoingly I bet we'd all want to know if we were spingly or spoingly humans

Where’s that one post that’s like Reasons Why My Wife Cried This Week and when are we gonna get a fanfic of that but Ryland Grace.

[stargirl-and-potts]

Reasons my human has cried:

* New student, very small. Grace said it was pebble. Pebble is small Earth rock. Pebble likes name.

* He found out Eridians have no gender rules.

* Students brought him mineral sample. After he stopped crying he said he loves show-and-tell game. Human naming conventions oddly literal.

* I told him Earthsun grew bright.

* I took him up atop atmosphere bypass elevator to look at stars.

* He woke up from nap and found me still with him. I did not wait on his chest; he says I am heavy like “elephant” and he “couldn’t breathe.” I laid my arm over him instead, kept him close, feeling safe. He said “cuddle” was warm.

* Before class he heard younglings singing.

* He has plants in house from sprouts on ship. Plant grew “bud.”

* Engineers got seawater temperature right. He took off shoes and stood in water, sighing. He didn’t care about pants getting damp. Cried until shirt was also damp. Humans very endlessly wet.

* He missed “Doritos.”

* Adrian helped food scientists make taumoeba dried paste. Made it crunchy after heating. We fused it into triangle form. Told him it was Tauritos. That made him laugh-cry. Laugh-cry is rare and precious.

* He remembered Eridians have no gender rules.

* We made him celebration outfit. Used metals he calls pretty. He can see frequencies named “colorful” and “shiny.” These make humans happiest.

* I gave him hug when he wasn’t expecting it. Easier to hug close now with exosuit. Hug when Grace sitting down so he does not fall over.

* Told him to think long time, stay with me as long as he can.

Murph's extremely genuine, "Emily WE'RE married." When she said she'd marry one of their cats if she could sent me

murph and the highest compliment he can bestow in defense of an npc

[aspiring-wildfire]

brennan really said “some might run art galleries and some might run christian nationalist weed farms but at the end of the day all rich people are on the same side (evil)” and i think that’s very sexy of him actually

[unreal-unearth-undead]

Call me zac oyama the way I was fucking LOSING IT at Murph and Emily’s choices in the scenes with Beth/beth’s husband.

DIMENSION 20: ON A BUS Season 2, Episode 1

[nerdynordicstitcher]

Matt’s sad little grin and Brennan knowing he can’t argue with it 🤣

[papillenjolras]

Watching Zac sliently wheeze laugh for at least five minutes during the "You don't talk to Beth that way!" scene was maybe my favorite part of the entire episode.

[not-a-smartass-just-a-nerd]

there is something unironically and genuinely beautiful about watching darkness man IMMEDIATELY jump a guy whose tone was off while he was speaking to his wife, and then feed said man to darkness man's irl wife and in-game partner in vigilantism.

that's romantic as shit, actually

At first i was like: why the hell is this on tumblr?! And then it suddenly made sense...

[ekjohnston]

This is incredible.

I.D. a clip from the first episode of dimension 20. Murph, playing "Darkness man" talking to Brennen, the DM.

Brennen: you go in. He is rapidly dying.

Murph: "Okay, don't worry citizen. All right, keep this quiet." And then I'm gonna go around. I'm gonna share blood with the...

Brennen: So you have to fully exsanguinate him and then share blood. You gotta get all the blood out of him

Murph growls while mimicking biting someone, laughing afterwards.

Brennen: All right, so you extinguish all your hunger. And immediately pour some blood into his mouth

Murph: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

End I.D.

I got so flustered by Murph's growl I'm ngl.

Same girl 😳

the game master’s barely concealed tim curry impression

[nerdynordicstitcher]

Yes, I was so happy for Brennan that he got to bring that out again 😅

[hrnydimension20confessions]

murph did a little growl thing while miming how darkness man would drain the paramedic's blood and UGH it was so hot. I have it saved in my camera roll and have rewatched it like 10 times I think I have a problem atp

As an autistic/adhd person going through the job search process I’ve learned to phrase my autistic/adhd traits as corporate friendly things. Here’s some examples:

I have trouble reading between the lines and picking up on implicit information? Actually, I’ve learned the importance of giving and receiving precise, specific instructions in order to avoid time consuming miscommunications.

I’m easily bored with only one task? Actually, I have a curious mind and thrive in places with a wide range of tasks as I prefer dynamic environments where I can contribute to many projects.

I have trouble with white lies that are merely social niceties? Actually, I prioritize a transparent work environment where we can tackle issues head-on.

This way I don’t have to lie, but rather just spin my truth in a way that’s palatable to them.
