A Gremlin's hoard. She/her. A "Read Before Following" is at the top of the page. “There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.” ― Martha Graham

BLACKOUT.

Have a nice day.

absolutely in love with these pictures omg

oh i see i get it now the phrase comes from stopping/nipping a flower from growing before it even gets the chance to bud. Makes a lot more sense than lightly biting another individual's rear end. Which i still believe would stop things before they progressed but whatever.

I was searching the Latin/Greek section of a used bookstore for some ~aesthetic~ antique Latin books, and I came across this beautiful 1889 tome:

This is going to look great on my “look at me I’m a pretentious twat” bookshelf.

But then… the first few sentences read:

“In 1875 delegates of the Oxford University Press proposed to me that I should undertake the compilation of a new Latin-English Lexicon, of something the same compass as the Greek-English Lexicon of Liddell and Scott. I acceded to the proposal in the expectation, for which I had at the time what appeared to be good grounds, that I should obtain adequate assistance in the work. My hopes were, however, disappointed.”

Ouch.

He goes on to detail how he spent 12 years working on A all by himself. Then the university asked him to publish what he had, so he threw together the rest of the book, clearly caring less and less the further he got in the alphabet - the entire Q section has four entries - and published… this.

Obviously this is going straight onto my pretentious twat shelf as a goofy conversation starter, but it is interesting and potentially useful if obscure Latin words are your thing. (Did you know “ramen” is a hapax legomenon meaning “a small chip or shaving”?)

So if you ever come across a really obscure Latin word or name that you can’t find anywhere, hmu… but only if it starts with A.

Saw something online that said "questions are way more intimate and romantic than compliments" and honestly I feel this so hard, like, compliments are lovely of course, but nothing feels nicer than knowing someone wants to get to know you and find out things about you and learn what makes you you

where can one find these dbz/spn crossover jokes you mentioned in your tags…

cas = vegeta is so real. what if you were a genocidal war criminal space alien who became a husband and family man against all odds and also your human family had you wrapped around their little finger even though you used to be able to crush a planet with your pinky. (bulma is basically dean but rich which makes this even funnier) there are even some fun trunks/jack parallels if you squint hard enough

Another plane has hit the blog.

I mean, HunterCorp is a lot like CapsuleCorp. Maybe we're sleeping on an opportunity to draw HunterCorp Dean like this:

they even have their liddol euro car that fits the vibe

Listen, sister, when are you going to get wise to yourself?

people will see dean driving his own car that was given to him specifically as a gift AND which he himself ended up picking out when he time traveled, effectively making the car even more his, which is also portrayed as a metaphor for his own body and soul, and be like: hmm is this dean being an abusive control freak? 🤔

paradise lost satan really said “i tried to do something and i failed, and now i realize that i was always destined to fail, and i want revenge for that but i also see that my every effort to spite authority will just satisfy that authority more. so i guess i will just be as good as i possibly can be at the role that i now know i was always meant to play, in which the more i succeed, the more i’ll disgrace myself. i cannot escape. i never could have escaped. i am going to be the adversary, and i am going to destroy myself, and there is nothing i can do about it. ok. ok. let’s get started.”

“hbo sam” what is that. what do you mean hbo sam. he literally drank demon blood and had horny demon blood sex with his demon girlfriend on the television screen. you think he’s not hbo sam because he’s on the cw well that is your mistake. moving supernatural to hbo would only bring everyone else’s insanity up to sams level. show some respect

literally one of the first things he does is crash a car into a house on purpose. what the hell

this. dean makes bonkers choices and decisions but they are clearly because of the absolutely fucked up cocktail of neuroses that bangs about in his head and it makes you go Wow that guy has obviously seen some shit to think that’s a good idea. whereas sam is like so nonplussed and accepting of doing fucked up shit with barely any justification other than “yeah ok” that you go oh something is Wrong with him. he’s so awesome
