Pebbling: sending little links and memes to the people that you love. Derived from the behavior of gentoo penguins, who “pick up pebbles in their beak and carry them to their partners or potential partners as a gift”.
TRUTH. What you need is imagination, and you don’t need to go anywhere to use it.
Yeah, sure, seeing new things is helpful as a fantasy writer. But. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that exposure to new things is the same as traveling. You know what else exposes you to new things? The internet. Documentaries. Books. Freaking Youtube. So when you’re bored of cats and cooking tutorials, go on an adventure!
You wanna write create some fantasy creatures but don’t know where to start? Go check out some videos The Weird Creatures Earth has Had.
Want some inspiration for your Super Evil Villain’s Villanous Deeds?
Or maybe you want some weird locations to kick start your Fantasy World Terraforming?
Or maybe you need knowledge of bunches of historical places and cities and cultures?
But maybe you’re basing fantasy on the modern world?
Okay but lets say you want to start from the same inspiration as GRRM? (and part two!)
That’s just the stuff I could quickly grab. Things I’m subscribed to, that I know offhand. There is So. Much. Stuff. Online.
The best thing about the internet is that it means its not just the fortunate sons that get to learn, and explore and imagine and write. We get to see stories from all over the place, from all sorts of people, who bring All Kinds of New Ideas.
I like you.
According to choreographer Vince Paterson, Robin Williams pulled him aside as they were shooting this scene and said he was tired of playing "the straight man," and wanted something funnier to do. Paterson pitched the bit as The History of Dance in Thirty Seconds, and taught it to him behind the walls of the set. After seeing it for the first time, director Mike Nichols said the sequence was wonderful but unnecessary. Williams fell to his knees and begged Nichols to shoot it again properly. According to a biography of Nichols, when they were unsure how the bit should end, it was Nathan Lane who came up with the punchline: "But you keep it all inside." Remembering the scene nearly twenty years later, Paterson said, "We never thought it would become what it has. It’s iconic."

I wish we could teach each other how to love the way we can teach animals that aren’t supposed to be able to feel it.
@kaijutegu is this cute? I know you deal with tegus and not iguanas, but I didn't know who else to ask
This is precious.
So, first thing you need to know is that is a very visibly healthy adult green iguana. Every part of the iguana is sharp. The claws evolved to haul a ten pound lizard up a tree. The spines are like tiny icepicks. The tail is a bullwhip. The teeth evolved to shred leaves, but they'll just as easily shred your flesh. Good luck making a healthy adult iguana do anything they don't wanna. That puts us on our first thing to look at- is the animal capable of defense and getting away, physically? Yes, definitely.
Next thing to know is what does a threatened or scared iguana look like? When an iguana is threatened, it doesn't stand on its hind legs like that; it stands on all fours and puffs itself up to look bigger, aggressively bobs its head (note: head bobbing is a behavior used for a LOT of things, it does need context- for example, they also head bob as part of mating displays), there is hissing, there is tail whipping- iguanas are not subtle creatures. None of this is the behavior of an iguana that feels threatened or is being a threat!
So what does standing like that mean? That's just simple reaching. The iguana sees something they want and is attempting to reach it, and what they want appears to be uppies, because they settle into the human's grip immediately.
Then, we see some GREAT handling from the human. There's really great communication happening between the two of them! The person picks up the iguana very securely- pelvis and pectoral girdles are well supported, and he doesn't grab. (Iguanas typically do NOT like being grabbed around the sides; many of their predators are birds and coming at them from above or gripping the sides is scary!)
As he goes in for the pet, he lets the iguana support their back half on his knee. The hold is secure but not tight; at any point, if the iggy was distressed, they could leave. But they don't- instead, you see them leaning into the pets, actively participating in the behavior. They're not even closing their eyes to block stimulus. They want this to happen.
This is the kind of bond that's possible when you can prove to a big lizard that you're trustworthy, and easily the best iguana video I've seen in a long time. Thank you for tagging me in!
Some green iguana body language resources under the jump!

Finally, the original has crossed my dash.
@strangezeroz welcome to tumblr where the app decides when you can be gifted with the sight of og memes, you cannot look for these yourself via the search engine, you won’t find them, you have to wait to be gifted them
For those of you who might be new here, Tumblr has no algorithm, legendary memes are brought to your dash by mutuals like pet cats bringing you dead birds.
guys shut the fuck up this is the only thing im gonna talk about for the rest of all time
(publicly shared video of a sweetheart’s dance from Rodney Stanger on fb)
This is really the cleanest Sweethearts Dance I’ve ever seen in my life. I am in love! I am transfixed! Footwork smooth and strong like a mfin mountain river! Incredible! 🤩 😳 🥰
Oh my God this is incredible to watch!
Found the credit, from the Great Plains Dance Company. This is Jocy Bird and Trae Little Sky dancing in the Sweetheart Special at the Seminole Tribal Fair in Hollywood, Florida.
Jocy Bird and Trae Little Sky are married and apparently an adorable couple and I am loving their beaming grins as they dance so smoothly together. 💖
have reblogged before, will reblog again

there are people all around you sitting on fences you will never see
what I mean by this is that the people whose minds you change are not going to tell you that you changed their mind. people don't generally announce when they've been wrong unless it was out loud and in front of people. if they just had some misinformation but had yet to act on it, you'll never know you corrected them.
just because you won't change the loudest bigot's mind by pointing out hypocrisy or logical inconsistencies doesn't mean it's not worth doing, it's worth your time to challenge them because you don't know how many of the people around you are quietly thinking the loudmouth lowkey has a point.
it's not about changing the loudmouth mind, it's about making sure everybody else knows they're full of shit
humans will see a swamp and build a city on it and then spend the next 2,000+ years struggling to keep it from turning back into a swamp
everybody saying a different city is cracking me up
@words-writ-in-starlight great news from wikipedia
I routinely tell my chickens that they're good chickens, but just between you and me, they are mediocre chickens at best.
Showed this to my mom and she was like "É, mas também com galinha num tem muito jeito não" which roughly translates as "Yeah, but with chickens, it's not like you have a lot of room for excellence."
All the sadder/funnier that at one point Chicken Excellence was so desperately important that it bankrupted several people and materially contributed to Charles Darwin's work on natural (and artificial) selection:
The mid-19th century was bursting with economic bubbles. There was the speculative bubble in Latin America, followed by …
(It’s probably not a secret that I enjoy finding examples of economic bubbles. So here’s a pretty obscure one, courtesy of some recent readi
Those chickens really were excellent. For a while.

Look, we all agree that Aragorn is hot.
Viggo Mortensen is absolutely a handsome man, but his character in Eastern Promises doesn't have most of the global population ripping their hair out foaming at the mouth screaming crying throwing up horny.
It's something about the combination of long hair, stubble, a mysterious past, quiet confidence, and looking like you've just been riding a horse for 2 weeks, that drives people crazy.
We will call this phenomenon The Aragorn Effect. My theory is that if all those same elements are combined with the correct proportions, any actor may be able to experience The Aragon Effect.
In 1989 movie Roadhouse Sam Elliot plays a veteran bouncer who is asked by Patrick Swayze to assist in a particularly difficult bar. He 1. Has Long hair 2. Has Stubble 3. Looks like he eats cigarettes. In this essay
For reference, this is Sam Elliott in every other role he's been in:
And THIS is Sam Elliott in road house, for literally no reason at all:
