*tapes scissors to my dick* why won’t anyone fuck me, edward scissordick?
I’m sobbing
I love going trough the notes every time bc there’s always someone in the notes insisting we’re all mean and that you can just wear thick dish gloves over your fake nails as if I wouldn’t assume you’re going to Patrick Bateman my ass if you walked into the bedroom with claws and yellow rubber gloves
psychosis needs to lose its negative connotation, its a thing that happens. you are far closer to psychotic episodes than you think and we need to all know how to deal with them properly
I always say that psychosis is a natural part of human experience or state of mind. And guess what, non psychotics get MAD when I say that. "No, its not natural or normal at all! Dont normalize it!" Guess what happens when you haven't slept in a few days? Psychosis. Guess what can happen when you're too stressed? Psychosis. Guess what can happen from physical conditions? Psychosis. Psychosis is the same type of normal that any other negative state of mind is. Someone experiencing depression due to circumstances? Normal. Someone dissociating during a stressful event? Normal. Psychosis isn't different. ANYONE can experience psychosis and it doesn't even have to be a disorder. Psychotic disorders are disorders due to the frequency and intensity of psychosis.
People need to stop demonizing normal human experiences

The alphabet, a monolith in the community community, hits it off right from the beginning by going for a rather charming ee sound theming, but like any creative work its important to understand your limits. The cracks begin to show at F, and from H onward we only see intermittent returns to form, usually at the end of each phrasing, which admittedly is a nice homage for long-time fans to enjoy. Overall I can't recommend the alphabet for beginners, but diehard fans and completionists will likely get something out of it, perhaps even to the point of coming back again to play next time. 6.5/10
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: one of the only few bad things about Tolkien's legendarium is that it makes 90% of all other fantasy worlds look either completely or somewhat mediocre in comparison.
Like, what do you mean you don't have a fictional language for your fantasy world? WEAKLINGS
This man right here gets it.
Yep, Tolkien's linguistic puns and translation jokes are legendary. Although it's not accurate to say the in-universe origin of the books is that an elf told the stories to Tolkien. Rather, Tolkien is translating them from a volume he found, written in Westron, called the Red Book of Westmarch. This contains Bilbo's book (The Hobbit), Frodo and Sam's additions to it, (LoTR), as well as Bilbo's translations of Elvish histories he encountered during his time in Rivendell (The Silmarillion). These were all in one volume and Tolkien himself made the editorial decision to publish them all separately. Even more fascinating, the Red Book is not even the original writings, which of course would have been lost by now to time and disintegration. It's actually a copy of the original, or probably a copy of a copy, multiple times removed. And it wasn't copied from the original, either, but from a copy that made it to Gondor where it was annotated and corrected. There's probably even more to its history that I'm forgetting, but yeah, even this kind of metatextual provenance was something Tolkien thought a lot about that very few writers even consider anymore. Which, of course, they're not obligated to; but the fact that Tolkien was even interested in that kind of thing just shows how above and beyond he went

Wait I thought eunuchs just had their balls cut off, do they take the peen too??
i believe in the persian and roman/italian traditions just the testicles were removed, but the chinese tradition (which i’m more familiar with) involved the amputation of all external genitalia
you can domesticate one animal species of your choosing, which do you pick and why? explain your reasoning

I’m curious—how is everyone marking their pages in books?
Dog-earing the page
Using a bookmark for it’s intended purpose
Using things that aren’t bookmarks as bookmarks
Marking the page with the dust jacket flap
Something I forgot to put here (put it in the tags!)
I can't do much but maybe this will interest someone. This cookbook is by a classically trained autistic chef, made for people with sensory issues. It's sold 1/6th of its initial run because apparently no one wants to have an autistic person interviewed on TV.
Apparently it's also very funny.

Spread this around! I bet someone here can use this.
More info from the link:

Professional chef Matthew Broberg-Moffitt’s advice is broken down by category (The Five Tastes, Texture, Color, Aroma, Presentation, and Plating) in order to address each and every aspect of food aversion, and a Food Preference Profile and Worksheet is included for you and your child to quickly identify and summarize their preferences. Instead of leading to mistrust by disguising or slipping in foods your kids don’t want to eat, this cookbook supports caretakers in a way that maintains a healthy relationship with food, and a joyful, less stressful experience around the table."
Can someone explain Dwarf Fortress to me???
It’s a colony sim in a somewhat standard fantasy setting, with the twist that nearly everything is procedurally generated in unnecessary detail. Town names? Procedural. Instruments? Procedural. The history of the world you’re in? Procedural. Ancient horrors sealed deep below the world? Procedural. The gods themselves? Procedural. Your job is to help your horde of alcoholics survive whatever meticulously simulated nonsense the game decides to throw at you. It ranges from pretty standard, like invading armies, to fantastical, like vampires you have to solve criminal cases to catch, to deranged, like that time I dug up a demon made of fire that was effectively invincible in combat because everything’s pathfinding was too messed up by the smoke it gave off to fight back. For a general idea of how strange it can get, read Boatmurdered, an old written Let’s Play still beloved by the community.
So the Developers are Playing God playing god
In addition, virtually everything is simulated, which has led to some hilarious bugs in the past. To get a good idea of the level of detail, the tears in a dwarve’s eyes are tracked, and can be theoretically spread onto other things (though granted im not sure if it has been tested, hard to get them off the eyes i imagine), these ‘other things’ (any part of any creature/object in the game) would then be stained with those tears, which is itself tracked, and those tears will remain there until removed.
Wasn't there also the issue with cats just turning up dead in someone's tavern, and then it turned out that when a dwarf decided to do something while in the middle of drinking, they would just toss their alcohol on the floor, and then cats would walk through the tavern and get the alcohol on their paws, and so when they later groomed themselves, they would technically ingest the alcohol and immediately die of alcohol poisoning?
Unforeseen Consequences, The Game
A classic way for a new player's fortress to fall is by failing to make new clothes. After a couple years the old clothes start to rot off the dwarves bodies and then the sight of naked children causes a huge negative mood spike for the whole fortress. This causes what is called a "tantrum spiral" fortresses rarely recover from a tantrum spiral.
Once I had a vampire problem. Vampires are hard to find, but you'll know when you have one due to the dead dwarves with bite marks that show up. Eventually I found out what happened: the very first vampire had fallen down a well and died thus tainting the fort's water supply with vampire blood. So the entire fortress was vampires. They fed on incoming migrants with the new members of the fort living or dying based on whether they drank from the well before one of the other vampires got to them.
Dwarf Fortress is a game where things just sorta happen.

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
Last year I finally had an excuse to illustrate this simple little Tumblr story I've had bookmarked forever for class.
I hope you like it :]
