PLEASE DON'T ASK ABOUT THE HEADER IMAGE I mostly reblog/post stuff about horror podcasts, or Jekyll and Hyde. Occasionally I reblog other things. they/he, adult call me Briar, or butterfly or origami, or any nickname you think fits!

[origami-butterfly]

Finally making an intro post!

My name is Briar, but you can call me origami, or butterfly, or any other nickname!

My pronouns are they/them and he/him, and very occasionally she/her

I am a christian, but I respect all other religions, and if you don't like the fact I'm a christian, you can leave

I am an adult, but my blog is mostly sfw

I have a gimmick/poll blog, called @wouldyoutrustthemtodoyoursurgery and also a jekyll and hyde themed project which I have an intro post for, here

I don't really see the point in having a DNI- I think I reblog enough to keep bigots away, but if you are pro-israel, don't support queer christians, or are a harry potter fan, please leave. Also no "trans masc vs trans fem" discourse people, all trans people face oppression and you should stop aiming your anger at each other. 🍉🇵🇸

If you want me to share a fundraiser, please don't send it to my asks, I will assume you are a bot, and it will be deleted and reported as spam.

Explanation of my tags under the cut

All personal posts or rambles are tagged as #my random stuff

Ask prompts, and responses to them are tagged as #ask game

Miscellaneous asks are tagged as #asks and asks from mutuals will usually have the tag #friend [name or nickname] <2

Interactions with mutuals are normally tagged #mutus (because I hate the word "moots")

All the "you must reblog this" posts, I will tag as #not ocd friendly and #reblog bait, and I will always use the trigger tags #tw suicide or #tw suicide mention and #tw trypophobia when needed- if you want me to trigger tag anything else, let me know.

If you ask very nicely, I will show you pictures of my cat, her name is Missy, and those are usually tagged with #my cat

That's all I can think of for now!

you ever think about how funny it is that basically every animal on earth has a secret shiny player 2 palette swap just in its back pocket

[inhumaninterest]

Would it help to know there's more?

Melanism is the reverse of albinism, the animal has an excess of pigementation.

And then there's Abundism; where there's only a partial excess resulting in much larger patches of melanin but without completely covering the animal

And Leucism which is partial albinism.

Apparently in China peach wood (Along with the rest of the plant) is believed to have properties that repel evil spirits, a little similar to silver in European legends or iron for both European fae and West Asian/Middle eastern Jinn. Taoists sometimes keep swords made of peach wood because of this. This made me realize something. If you took a peach wood stick, and attached studs to it of both silver and iron you'd end up with a club or staff (or mace, flail etc.) that would have the weaknesses of many kinds of supernatural creatures while still retaining effectiveness as a normal weapon (peach is a hardwood and silver's poor edge retention doesn't matter for studs). You could even keep adding new stud materials to get something ridiculous that affects over 120 catalogued folkloric monsters. Since you just need a few little studs you could even get some really expensive materials like meteoric iron (a thumb tip sized meteorite can still cost like 10-20 bucks I think). I could somewhat feasibly make a weapon that affects every monster ever thought to walk the earth, from vampires and werewolves to jinn and jiangshi and even mankind.

[danielkanhai]

it would suck being a new immortal. like it’d be 2109 and people would go, “what was it like seeing ancient civilizations rise and fall like that? seeing the pyramids being built? watching the expansion and growth of the new world?” and i’d just be like, “no…no i was born in 1991. so like, wow i’m gonna see some cool stuff, but, i mean i’m not that much older than just a really, really old person, you know? phones were big back then. so big. but only for like ten years, then they got like, as good as they are now. uh. rhinos existed. don’t think i ever saw one in person. cool, good talk.”

[ayellowbirds]

even worse, imagine being an immortal who keeps missing stuff. “What was it like seeing the pyramids being built?” “Fuck if I know, I was in Madagascar.” “Oh, okay. Well, how was the Renaissance?” “I fell down a hole in Scotland and people thought I was an enchanted well for four hundred years, it was over by the time I convinced someone to get me out.”

[erkhyan]

And now, a lesson in biases:

We barely know anything about Madagascar pre-500CE. We don’t even know whether the island had a permanent population before then, despite finding a bunch of much older signs of temporary human presence.

Malagasy mythology makes mention of the vazimba, a “precursor” ethnic group that might or might not be distinct from Madagascar’s current population.

The point is, we do not know.

So you were in Madagascar when the pyramids were being built in Egypt, i.e. during one of the most obscure, most undocumented parts of Madagascar’s human history?

Oh, buddy, you better go and make a bunch of anthropologists and archeologists really happy RIGHT NOW instead of feeling bad about missing everyone else’s pet Major Event.
