I think we need more Amos Burtons in fiction because the whole “if you kill him you’ll become just like him. I’m already like him. Give me the gun.” is such a fucking MOOD and he does it REPEATEDLY

James Holden is so funny.

Every time he goes somewhere and opens his mouth, someone is like, wait, is this going to be another Eros?

And he flashes his big brown eyes in either his most sincere or most serious expression like, it's my number one goal to make sure that doesn't happen.

Except the fact that James Holden is there at all means the situation is already 95% on the way to being another Eros and the only correct reaction to seeing James Holden is to fucking evacuate as fast as you can.

When you’re writing science fiction, THE most important thing to ask yourself isn’t how soft or hard you want the science to be, but to ask yourself “who would Shohreh Aghdashloo play in this story” and if you do not have an answer, re-evaluate

Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

very strange to be a fan of a "classic" thing bc like. its overrated. its underrated. everyone knows OF it but its a toss up if theyve actually ever engaged with it. you want to talk to everyone about how good it is but its so culturally ingrained that everyone waves off your glowing review as "well duh, its [classic thing]". its dismissed and overlooked BECAUSE it is so good. you cant find anyone to talk to about it except for deranged ppl on tumblr bc the masses havent actively thought about it in 30 years. its been referenced in every form of media since it released. no one gives it a second thought. youre going crazy.

bass pro shops needs a esports department i want to try weird mice i want to choose a desk pad i want to browse decorative rgb lighting

[magicratfingers]

im really not

this is a best buy — a chest high labyrinth of brand displays and loss leaders stalked by unreliable salesteens

and this is a bass pro shop

best buy puts sets out a tiny selection of product by brands that can pay for the privilege and says heehee money for our spreadsheets

bass pro shops shows you 15 versions of everything imagineable and their own versions and says whoooo look how big our dick is

so imagine the fundamentally bad ass experience if your gaming shit was sold by people who deadass put a whole lake in a store

I can't count how many times I've researched a word because I don't know exactly what it means, only vibes

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know
