I love rebloging. It’s the adult equivalent of showing everyone the cool rock I just found.

do you ever think it's didn't that we put a lot of effort into taking rocks out of the ground, mixing them up with other rocks from other places, squishing, shaping, and making new rocks out of the rocks, just to put them right back in the ground somewhere new?

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth 💕

Thanks @fleshwizard for sharing this with me! Rather than making stats for it in D&D 5e, here’s an idea based on the aeon stones of Pathfinder and Starfinder:

Aeon stones are remnants of the old Azlanti Empire. Typically, mages with an interest in history will have these items floating around their heads, and they provide various benefits depending on the type of gem or stone used. However, the Aspis Consortium recently found a magical bowl that enhances the crystalline growth of aeon stones, and in their experiments this weapon was produced from a clear spindle stone.

A clear spindle provides life support, with more powerful versions that take care of the need to drink, eat, breathe or survive in space. As a weapon, the “crystal knuckles” deal 1d4 piercing damage, and when they hit there is a flash of white light. The target must make a Fortitude save (DC 14) or be levitated 5 feet, as the spell.

[probablyfunrpgideas]

Other aeon crystal knuckles:

Pale Ruby Trillion - Target becomes magically silenced, and can make a Will save (DC 13) to end the effect at the end of each turn.

Magenta Prism - Target takes 1 point of damage to its highest ability score.

Thorny Silver - The weapon launches its wielder into an unoccupied space on the other side of the target.

Lavender and Green Ellipsoid - The target must make a Will save (DC 17) or lose a spell/spell slot of level 2 or lower.

@sherbertilluminated there's a line somewhere in Ursula Vernon's Digger that goes something like "it is difficult to be metaphysical around the truly geologically minded"

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

…well this post sure took off

this is probably my favorite tiktok of all time and I finally got around to showing it to my dad the other day and now he comes home every day and tells me about all the places he saw crumbling concrete and says "guess they didn't add enough chinchilla flakes"

[thatdisasterauthor]

My dad has worked in construction is whole life, primarily with a company that does concrete foundations, and I immediately sent him this back when I first found it on TikTok, and he IMMEDIATELY shared it with everyone he worked with. They apparently still quote it on his job sites to this day.

I’ve been doing some field work with geologists this winter and I’m kind of amazed by how these dudes can pick up a handful of dirt and talk about it for an hour using terms I’ve never heard of. Like wow you see a whole universe in there that I don’t. The world is truly full of beauty and we only comprehend a fraction of it.

A coworker's child stopped them a morning before work this week to give them a small rock. Saying, "This is my best friend and he wants to go with you to work." At work she and I got talking and she stopped and said, "I don't know why, I feel like you need a best friend." And gave me the rock her son gave her.

This rock now travels with me in my pocket until it tells me to give him to someone else.

This is animism at its finest. Receiving awakened rocks from children that spoke them into being

[lilacandladybugs]

my friend told me that her boyfriend got her a super cool rock while they were on vacation together and you would not BELIEVE my disappointment when i realized she was talking about her engagement ring
