Memes Dreams and Automobreems

Back from hiatus with a new obsession! Mostly Critical Role and Hozier appreciation posts with some memes mixed in. Will tag for spoilers but remind me if I miss one!

[wizardarchetypes]

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

Are there any other particularly egregious examples?

[theglintoftherail]

This book already exists, sort of! Or at least, it’s a biology textbook but I bought it for writing purposes:

It starts with a chapter about freezing to death, and it is without a doubt the scariest thing I’ve read in years (and I read a lot of horror fiction).

[wandercuriosity-deactivated2024]

This book can be downloaded for free on Researchgate, posted there by the author himself:

The Biology of Human Survival: Life and Death in Extreme Environments

Reblog if you also think Toph shouldn’t have been a cop.

I want to see how “unpopular” this opinion really is outside cop-worshipping Reddit.

Since it’s missing Travis hours and seasonally appropriate, I’m bringing this iconic gem back:

It's good to learn, remember, and share stuff like this.

[heroineimages]

When my mom or her sisters did crochet growing up, their dickhead older brothers thought it was hilarious to snip the yarn somewhere in the middle of the bundle. I suspect mom would've found a trick like this really handy.

[prismatic-bell]

Oh, this is a modified Russian join!

Here’s a full one:

1) find the end of both pieces. I’m using an off-white and a variegated green so you can easily see what I’m doing, but this can be used to join any two pieces of yarn that are the same weight as each other whether they’re the same color or not.

2) wrap the ends around each other like this. You don’t actually have to lay them down, I did it for clarity in the photos.

3) you’ll need a needle like this. They’re sold under the names “tapestry needle” or “yarn needle.” If you ever manage to find them made out of bamboo or wood, PLEASE TELL ME.

4) thread the yarn through itself as shown in the video above. HOWEVER, where that video shows strand #1 being threaded into strand #2, with the Russian join you’ll thread strand #1 back into itself, using the wrap around strand #2 as an anchor point. I use my toes as a “third hand” when doing stuff like this, but I’ve also seen people use the heel of their hand or a convenient paperweight or even nothing at all. Whatever will let you create a tight join is what you want to use.

Make sure you get this loop as small as you can.

5) repeat on strand #2. Trim the remaining ends.

6) you’re done! This is one of the strongest joins in crochet and knitting. It’s virtually undetectable in a finished project, and because of the wraparound shown in step #2 it can’t pull apart like a knot will.

Actually, wait…

7) don’t forget to put away your needle! “I’ll just stick it in the ball for later” is a comforting lie. The needle will disappear into the ball and you will never see it again, unless your foot finds it later. Don’t do it to yourself. PUT IT AWAY.

Okay, this made me pause and literally write out every letter that 'fell' in order (‘oomngouuhhrsrtutpntnue’), then make sure they were all contained in 'turntomushuponthergroun'.

They are, and it's very satisfying.

[mortimermcmirestinks]

coincidentally, "oomngouuhhrsrtutpntnue" is the sound I make when it's autumn

Help Us Help Canyon the Kitten, organized by Brian Goulart

Hello everyone! My name is Brian and this cutie calico kitty is Canyon. This fundraiser … Brian Goulart needs your support for Help Us Help

My friends found a tiny kitten in an alley. They've taken it on themselves to get her medical care, she was looking pretty rough at first and they didn't want to risk her getting euthanized bringing her to a shelter. She's SO much better now, but multiple medications, vaccinations, and tests have been expensive

Any little bit helps, please reblog & if anyone in Norcal can take in a 7 week old kitten for foster or adoption let me know

Fullmetal Alchemist (all iterations):

Beaten so far: Andor, Star Trek: TOS, The Addams Family, Ninjago, Gravity Falls, Phineas and Ferb

"Not only has it given us some of the best memes in tumblr history. But it's a damn good show tackling the intersection of fascism, religious corruption, disability rights, and the power of revolution"

"Has the single most satisfying ending in any series I ever watched"

"Has to be one of the greatest shows of all time and one of my top favorites"

"FMA:B one of the best animes (and mangas) in history and you can't change my mind"

"FMA wins in my heart every. single. time."

"It's one of the best shows of all time (both 2013 and FMA:B) and deserves it"

"full metal has some of the best writing and I base my romances around the way they are written here"

"sorry [opponent] cannot fucking touch fullmetal alchemist are you kidding its fullmetal alchemist"

Revolutionary Girl:

Beaten so far: Cutthroat Kitchen, Glee, House M.D., Star Trek Voyager, Doctor Who, Scooby Doo

"its a really compelling and symbolism-rich show about cycles of abuse, homophobia, patriarchy, gender roles, societal narratives and what it means to operate within the bounds of them, and coming of age and realizing you’re gay. it has incredibly striking visuals and music. also i love lesbians and anthy is such a character of all time."

"vote utena if you care about unhinged lesbians and sillygirls"

"the narratives THE FUCKING NARRATIVES"

"vote utena because it makes you feel like you're being microwaved"

"wlw existentialism wins"

"utena literally helped shape me so i gotta go with rgu"

"its a highly complicated allegorical hellscape of symbolism that highlights patriarchal structures unlike anything ive ever seen before"
