Stop being scared and start being yourself

[myfairkatiecat]

Reading Russian literature is crazy cause everyone has a billion names and reading British literature is crazy because everyone in every family seems to have the same name

Reading Russian lit is like “okay so Raskolnikov is also Rodion Romanovich is also Rodya” and reading British lit is like “Miss Crawford told the other Miss Crawford that Mrs. Crawford was visiting Mr. Crawford so Mr. Crawford (different guy) told his brother Mr. Crawford that their father Sir Crawford is in town with Lady Crawford”

[jamiebythesea]

Meanwhile Swedish literature is like "yeah this guy Holger Eriksson he killed that other guy Nils Holgersson, so I put Erik Holgersson and Holger Nilsson on the case"

“There’s simply no room for me to park my hellcat” wins best in show for me.

Is this a horrible thing with legs or...a horrible thing with fingers? Or just a horrible thing?

That’s cephalopharyngeal, a word which ought to help. Thank you so much for thinking of me!

[belovedbright]

Wouldn’t it be cephalophlangi? Since fingers are phalanges, and pharynx is the throat

[elodieunderglass]

Ooooh yeah, that’s better as an accurate description - but no, it still needs the

🤌 flow

How do we feel about cephalodactyl? And we can use phalanges for “phalangipod.” Cephalodactyl phalangipod. How do we feel about that

[sufficientlylargen]

The Greek prefix for "hand" is "chiro", so perhaps it is a chirocephalic pentapod, or maybe a pentapodactyl cephalochiroid?

[elodieunderglass]

I like “pentapodactyl” tremendously!!! but hate “chiro” in this context, and I don’t know why. Obviously I have no authority to be the arbiter of this but I do feel strongly!!

There’s a gorgeous rhythm to:

Cephalopharyngeal pentapodactyl monstrosity of the alarm

[sufficientlylargen]

@elodieunderglass I'm curious how you pronounce "Cephalopharyngeal" - my instinct is to pronounce the opening as a dactyl, like in "cephalopod", i.e. "SEF-uh-lo", but the scansion of that line feels better to me if it's an amphibrach, i.e. "suh-FAL-lo"

[sufficientlylargen]

The Cephalobrachial Pentapodactylus! Palmate monstrosity of the alarm! The sesquipedalian's best pernoctalian psuedo-mammalian hand without arm!

This maniform, bursiform, digital deep-dweller drifts through the darkest demersal domains, A five-footed fingerling phantasm floating full fathoms afloor from the foam-freckled main!

It hunts with its quick hyponychial cnidocytes fully envenomed and ready to kill! If nocuous toxicants don't cause cessation its rostriform mandibles certainly will!

By ripping and rending, it ruptures its rations with razorlike radulae housed in its jaw; Its great glabrous grub-grippers gather the gobbets to go in its ventropharyngeal maw!

The Cephalobrachial Pentapodactylus seldom comes skyward while it's still alive, But sometimes some singular specimen surfaces, stalking the shore like a deadly high-five,

So if you should witness, in perambulation, gressorial fingertips roaming the sands, I beg you, consider this simple hortation: observe from a distance, and do not shake hands!

woman yelling at cat meme but make it ancient greek red figure pottery

[swirling-orbs-of-disorder]

From ancient to abstract, this one sure got around.

Japanese one made no sense to me until I finally saw the “sale sale/sasa lele” version. セール　セール。 But then it’s a meme so it has to be misspelled?  🤷‍♂️

welcome back victorian era cross-writing!

[herssian]

your art can objectively suck it can be awful it can have negative rizz but it's still good because you made it. it can be incredibly bad on every level, technique, subject, execution. it still fucks hardcore. because you made it. and it's hard to accept because it's your art and you made it from nothing and you know how much it sucked to get it to suck you were in fact there for all steps and they all sucked. but ya gotta remember. it's good! because? you made it!

idk why people are still trying to do "hear me out"s on tumblr

you could talk about wanting to fuck the space needle on here and people would still call you a poser for insisting on fucking "conventionally attractive architecture" as if that's a coherent, easily-recognizable category

[charlesoberonn]

I want to fuck Antoni Gaudi's unbuilt Hotel Attraction skyscraper design

[anatomizer]

"hear me out" and it's a picture of the most fuckable building you've ever seen. c'mon now.

Coming into a fandom late

[baxterdamus-deactivated20130513]

Coming into a fandom early and watching it become an angry clusterfuck

[valorious]

Being in a dormant fandom that suddenly comes alive again after a new book/movie

[leatherpatches-deactivated20150]

Don’t forget about those who come in the midst of a fandom war.

Accuracy at its best

[street-of-mercy]

Being in a fandom and not even knowing there’s a war going on…

I always enjoy it when a good post comes around again and has been improved by the reblogs like the years for a fine wine.

[priory-of-stars]

Being in a fandom when shit goes down and everyone has different opinions

When you are in a fandom and don’t care for others people opinion…..even if they are right…(believe me, I have met several of those)
