Actually wait, cuz I could go on for hours about Damian al Ghul- Wayne becoming a doctor.

Every single other robin, chose to be there at some point. Damian was literally born and made for this shit, but he's the only one that made it out.

Dick is still Nightwing, fighting crime just like always. Jason CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD just to continue doing the vigilante schtick. Tim is... Tim is tim. Steph is still spoiler, hanging with fucking oracle and black bat. And Duke is the fucking Signal.

Damian was trained, prepared, and in some timelines, genetically engineered to do this shit, and he CHOSE to be a doctor, just like his grandfather, Thomas Wayne.

I... I should stop before this post gets too long.

Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

[studio105animation]

hey you know what studio DIDN’T get absorbed into the netflix/warner bros/hbo deal? us!!

In just a year and a half we’ve completed NINE animations (one of which we cannot release until it finishes going through the film circuit), and we have much, much more planned.

It’s important to not lose hope! Support indie animation!!

i don’t want to be angry anymore i’m never going to hate again unless someone says something really stupid or if i see something i don’t like at all or maybe just whenever i feel like it

My Tiger Tiger secret santa gift for @nunyaisland

I went a little off the rails with it but I hope you like it anyway :]

ramblings and alternate color version below the cut vv

I struggled for a while to think of something fun to draw for this, but then just ruminating on the comic itself led me to the realization that Maldoror is kind of the perfect inverse of a sea sponge? Because on one hand, we have sponges, these beautiful, unique creatures that started from a single point (if we're going off Ludo's theory about an original sponge) and expand ever outward into separate individuals, living forever by simply making more new things whenever they "die" by being broken. and on the other hand, we have Maldoror, the exact opposite. A writhing, burning mass of countless different creatures that used to be separate, but have been boiled together into one thing, living forever by becoming everything it kills. If Maldoror is endless desire, sponges are endless generosity. Then of course there's also the dichotomies between like, maldoror's burning islands versus the sponges' watery depths, and Ludo being born of land but irresistibly called to the ocean versus Maldoror being born from the ocean but bound to the land. So I was kind of trying to communicate ALL THAT with this drawing. I like this comic a lot, if you couldn't tell.

okay rant over here's your alternate color version as a prize

for those who don’t remember, “mole interest” was an experiment I did 2 years ago because I wanted to test what causes tags to go trending on tumblr. My hypothesis was that all it takes is one (1) post blowing up in an established tag to make the entire tag trend.

I had randomly generated 2 words, which is where “mole interest” came from. I failed to consider that by generating a new tag, it wouldn’t have had enough posts already in it to prove what I now call “the mole interest effect”.

But now it does.

In 2023, we said “fuck it” a la mythbusters and ended up doing whatever it took to get #mole interest to trend. And it did. And it happened to be September 11th that day, and we managed to get #mole interest to trend ABOVE #9/11.

So, in the name of science, I ask you to reblog just this post. Let’s put the mole interest effect to the test.

[handbasketofdreams]

Yeah I'd say it's working

[sabertoothwalrus]

it’s not trending for me!! but I think that means we need to keep going!!!!!!!!!!!!

also a lot of people are making other posts tagged #mole interest 😭 you’re contaminating my data!!!

It is not possible to think your way out of an interpersonal conflict or ambiguous social situation. The information that you require in order to move forward dwells inside of another person, and you literally cannot figure that out yourself, no matter how good at perception, pattern matching, fawning, making up scenarios in your head, preparing, or minimizing your feelings you are.

can anyone tell me the watch order for every movie ever so i can understand all references and homages

[caucasianbuttslut]

@dionrevel PLEASE share the link.

[dionrevel]

Lol sure!!

For movies, here is the beginner's list:

Modern Civilization Essentials

Beginner's guide for getting in the loop.

And the more advanced list:

Full In the Loop

Advanced guide to getting in the loop. Supplementary to "Civilization Essentials." If a movie is on this list, then it has one of these: -Po

Not all these movies are necessarily good, but the ones that gave me small pop culture epiphanies. It made me realize that 30%-40% of the jokes from modern sitcoms are references/parodies- and these movies are their source material.

^^ This is also true for socializing. So many people I thought were naturally funny were just doing movie bits.

why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

[spacefinch]

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS IN THE US!

Someone over on bluesky posted this and I figured I'd better repost it here. It's the pre-RFK 2025 vaccination schedule for babies and young children, ya know, just in case it mysteriously disappears. Save this and give it to your child's pediatrician; tell them this is the schedule you want your child on.

I wanted this but the original poster is transphobic

[anarchopuppy]

This is called the "analog loophole" and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. They can encrypt and copy-protect all they want, but eventually the file has to be sent to a speaker and/or screen, and it has to get there in a human-readable form because that's the whole dang point

The simplest way to exploit the analog loophole is just pointing a camera at a screen or a microphone at a speaker, but direct recording is also always possible and always will be. Anything that can be displayed can be saved and displayed again

Back in the day, people also used to share software over the radio with this technology. Because computer programs and files are really just sets of binary code, and that code can be turned into audio tones.

The resulting audio file can be played over the radio (sounding a bit like the old dial up noise, as it's just two quickly oscillating notes) and recorded to a cassette tape, which you can then give to your computer to "decode" back into 0's and 1's, which gives you the program file. You can then run it as if you'd installed it from a disk.

NPR did a very cool podcast about this.
