“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
#tapping the reblog button with utmost care because i’m handling a historical artifact (via @malarkiness)
holy shit OP is not only still active but is still making absolutely banger posts in this exact style 11 years later
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
Might I add:
The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed
The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child
The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship
The adventures of a space roomba
Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)
I don’t know a snappy description but the my nemesis cynthia story certainly lives in my head
hilariously, these are almost all in my fic tag. so, a compiled list from the notes (and some extras):
The God of Arepo (graphic novel 1 / 2 / 3) (ebook)
The Monster of Sentan
The Witch’s Cat
Raise Both Children
Stabby the Roomba (honorable mention)
Cinderella Marries the Prince (comic)
My Arch Nemesis Cynthia
Pirates and Mermaid
Eindred and the Witch
The Demon King
The Cornerwitch
Grandmother Beetroot
Apocalypse Daycare Worker
Grandmother Accidentally Summons a Demon
New Year Saga
A Story About Changelings
Ranger in the King’s Forest
The Difference Between a Hare and a Rabbit

The Last Contact 40. The 100 Parent-Point Children 41. And the Heavens Wept 42. The Night Gentleman 43. The Serpent God and their Priestess

Wow! @writing-prompt-s contributing to like half of these!
I can hardly take any credit for these stories! But I love sharing them. Unfortunately I cannot read all the prompt responses so please tag me if you want me to reblog a story that resonated with you so I can give it a little boost :)
3 components of worldbuilding:
1. The author’s kinks
2. The author’s power fantasy
3. The author’s political agenda
Plot and logic optional
4. The author's formative trauma(s), unrecognized until after they hit post and then reread it for typos, only to blink in shock and say, "Oh. Oh. Oh fuck."
5. The author's personal grievances with other works in the same genre. (May relate to #3 but not always)
6: the author's rage at seeing a great idea executed like shit and going "i could menstruate a better text"
hey if you're trans in the us i love you. hey if you're queer in the us i love you. hey if you're a person of color in the us i love you. hey if you're a woman in the us i love you. hey if you're disabled in the us i love you. i love you i love you i love you
Is it too much to ask to be able to keep my hair long and wear something pretty without people seeing me as a girl?
AMAB person: *wears lipstick once*
People: Gender non conforming, for sure
AFAB person: *cuts hair* *binds chest* *wears hoodie and jeans* *wears suits* *shops in the man's section* *literally does everything they can*
People: Oh, look, a woman doing tomboy woman things. What a beautiful she/her female
It's kind of tragic how homophobia affects insecure men.
Like sometimes they want to experiment with a bit of anal and instead of just buying a sex toy and some lube like a normal person, they instead shove random objects up their ass that inevitably get stuck and then they try to get them out by themselves which makes things worse and then they lie to doctors about it and like this all leads to all kinds of extra complications like internal damage, risk of infections, bleeding, the fall of Yugoslavia, etc.
Come on guys, just buy a dildo. It's way safer and it leads to way fewer problems.

ok i just wanna check something.... reblog if you've never watched/opened tumblr live
reblog if you’d open a cursed tomb before even considering opening tumblr live
East Asian fanartists are starting to migrate back to Tumblr because Twitter is insane, toxic, and dying, and what we're NOT going to do is let the fucking exclusionists get them, do you hear me? We are not going to let a bunch of feral idiots try to apply the most myopic version of puritanism to foreign artists we're not we're not we're not. Form an armed brigade if you have to, do you hear me. We're not going to bully the artists who may or may not even speak English because we have our precious standards of moral purity. If we see art that makes us uncomfy we're going to block the artist and tumblr savior their name so we don't have to see them again AND WE'RE GONNA MOVE THE FUCK ON.
Important note for mobile users, you don't actually need tumblrsavior to do this!
All you need to do is go to your account settings, scroll to "Filtered post content" and input their username. This will filter
all their original posts
all mentions of their username
threads where they made an addition
posts that were directly reblogged from them (unfortunately, these get caught up too)
I always thought this option was common knowledge, but apparently it's not..? It's especially useful since new users and artists who don't speak english are notoriously inconsistent about tagging, which normally means their posts slip between the cracks with the "filter tags" settings.
Another thing I recently realized you should do is look up the translation of various ship names in other writing systems, since they might not use the english equivalent. Also, remember that depending on character dynamic and "who tops", the order of the names in the shipname gets swapped! So you actually have to block two tags per ship. Alright happy filtering MWAH!!
#not sure how related to the post this is so I'm leaving it in the tags#but CP is a common abbreviation for the word ''couple'' over in Chinese and Japanese corners of the Internet#maybe some other languages too#point is it does not mean child porn#so we're clear#discourse
This is important enough to not only get peer reviewed but that I wish it had its own post with a thousand reblogs honestly.
the russians are being way cooler and more eloquent than me on my own post. i fucking love this.
oh hey it's this post again. one more thing: some of the artists who don't speak english or speak very little of it still use machine translation tools to see what their followers are saying. things like "screaming, crying, throwing up" and other meme compliments like that do NOT carry the same tone after translation if you lack the cultural context behind them, and they might think you're insulting them instead. please try your best to avoid misunderstandings
shoutout to the aces who didn't always know or wonder what everyone's deal over sex was. shoutout to the aces who were horny teenagers who couldn't differentiate between their libido and sexual attraction. shoutout to the aces who only realized they were ace much later, perhaps after sexual experiences they regretted and couldn't understand why something they were so curious about felt so wrong. shoutout to the aces who made peace with these experiences and are now open to try again. shoutout to those who didn't and/or aren't. we're all valid as hell
“spicy pillow” jokes aside, I think @flowerkrone’s tags deserve a serious reply:
#my old phone looks like this on my shelf lmao #im too scared to touch it to throw it away #idk what trash this even goes into when its at this point
The pillow-shaped object here used to be the phone’s battery. It’s not a battery anymore. Now it’s a balloon full of corrosive, pyrophoric chemicals and hydrogen gas and it’s one puncture away from burning your house down. I am 100% serious. You should be scared to touch it.
But you gotta touch it, because you gotta get it out of your house before the pressure builds up to the point where the balloon pops. This isn’t going to happen soon – there is no need to panic – but it will happen eventually.
And, indeed, it doesn’t go in the ordinary trash. You put this in the ordinary trash and you’re gonna set the garbage truck on fire. Don’t do that to the garbage collectors, their job is hard enough already.
The first thing you need to do is get a fireproof container. The most common household item that qualifies as a fireproof container is a cast-iron cookpot with a cast-iron lid – often sold as a “Dutch oven.” Any other cooking container that’s unreactive, has a very high melting point, and has a lid made of the same materials will also work: enameled or stainless steel, Pyrex with glass lid, etc.
However: Do not use a pot with a PTFE-based non-stick coating. If the battery does explode, the fire will probably be hot enough to degrade a PTFE coating, producing toxic smoke. (Not that you should breathe the smoke from the battery fire either, but PTFE breakdown products are worse.) Do not use a pot made of aluminium or copper. The fire might even get hot enough to melt those.
Whatever container you use, you might have to throw away along with the phone, so don’t use your good Dutch oven for this. Go to a thrift store and buy a cheap one.
Once you have the fireproof container:
Gently pick up the phone and put it in the fireproof container. If possible, gently tape the phone to the bottom of the container to prevent it from bouncing around. Don’t put any padding in there, that’ll just make a fire worse if it does happen. Put the lid on and tape it shut.
Put a label on the container, something like “DEFECTIVE LI-ION BATTERY – FIRE HAZARD”.
It is now reasonably safe to move the container around. However, if the battery does explode, the container is very likely to leak smoke and get hot, so keep it in a well-ventilated area and away from things that will be damaged by heat. Don’t leave it exposed to the weather, either.
You need to find either a hazardous waste disposal site, or an e-waste recycler that will accept defective Li-ion batteries. I can’t help with that because I have no idea where you live.
However, your local fire department, if you have one, will probably be happy to help. Call their non-emergency number. Nothing is on fire yet, so this isn’t an emergency, but things that can easily start a fire are still within the fire department’s responsibilities. Tell them you have a phone with a bulging lithium-ion battery, you put it in a fireproof container, and you want to know how to dispose of it safely.
If the fire department tries to tell you this isn’t dangerous or it’s okay to throw it out in the regular trash (with or without fireproof container), hang up on them and write a cranky letter to your local government representatives, then keep looking for a proper disposal site.
When you do find a a hazardous waste disposal site or an e-waste recycler, call them and make sure they will take defective Li-ion batteries, before showing up. That’s also a good time to ask if they will let you have the fireproof container back.

I remember reading this a while back, I’m glad it’s made it’s way to my dash again
things like this are more important than 90% of tumblr
bye im crying
This comic made me feel things!
Hey, the source is not credited properly, so I thought that should be mentioned here. The short comic is from volume 5 of “Flight” comic anthology series. You can get a physical copy if you want to support the comic! The comic artist’s name is Svetlana Chmakova. Please check out her other works “Awkward”, “Brave”, and “Crush” at the library or bookstore! Also available in the ebook version. They all appear in the cute style and the color palette like the short comic.
For a fun fact, Svetlana Chmakova is the same artist who created “Dramacon” and “Nightschool” manga. Also the manga adaptation of ”Witch & Wizard”!
Beautiful

A while back people sent me fake fic titles, but instead of writing a fake summary for this one, I went a little insane and did a ficlet instead.
transphobia and harassment cw!
And so, the outside, it bashes us in
"Come on," Burgess teases while tugging at Dream's skirt as if to lift it up. "We're all grown ups here. Show us what's really going on under there."
Dream tries to turn away and pulls the fabric away from Burgess. He can't believe that he's being treated this way in a supposedly open minded office, especially with people just standing about staring. He's only been here for two days, and now he's about ready to quit.
Burgess tries to pull again, but then fingers close around his wrist, holding him in an iron grip, and Dream manages to pull the skirt free.
"Are you insane?" Burgess bluffs, staring at the man who's holding him. "Let me go."
Dream recognizes the other man. His name is Robert, and he showed Dream around on his first day. He's friendly and very generous with his smiles, but now his expression is right out frightening.
He takes a step closer to Burgess, their faces only inches apart. "You touch them again, and I will crack your ribcage open and show everybody what's really going on inside of you."
"You're crazy," Burgess huffs before wiggling out of Hob's grip and walking away.
The people around them stare, and Robert waves them away. "Nothing more to gawk at. Go to your desks and be ashamed of yourselves."
Everybody shuffles away quickly, and Robert turns to Dream. "I'm so sorry this happened. Are you okay?"
"Fine," Dream says, finally able to catch his breath. "Thank you."
Robert fishes a business card out of his pocket and writes something on it at the nearest desk before handing it to Dream. It's a phone number. "If anyone does something like that again, you tell me."
While Dream is thankful, he doesn't feel like being in Robert's debt. "I can file a report with HR, you don't have to do that."
Robert huffs a laugh, and shakes his head with a smile, but it isn't friendly at all. "I wouldn't go to HR. That's why you tell me."
He winks at Dream before he leaves, and suddenly, the thread he made sounds a lot less empty. Robert seems to be more dangerous than his appearance lets on, and Dream likes it way more than he should.
I surely can't be the only one in this
