Me and the boys misunderstood the arcane nature of the stone and now the Toyota is king of England
hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
reblogging for personal use
ART REFERENCE NOT FULL OF AI?! YESSS
i was so naive in thinking that spirk shippers were exaggerating. what the fuck is wrong with these two.
SPOCK HAS A MATING CYCLE?????
when i was a teenager i used to catch myself thinking "i'm really glad i'm alive right now because of all the cool personal technologies that exist" and when i did i'd think it through and reckon that well, its not like teenagers in the 70s and 80s knew they didnt have ipods or facebook or whatever. they were also happy with the tech they had. and i'd reason that in the future there would be more fun technologies that i dont know i'm missing out on right now and the future will be an even cooler time to exist
anyway i was dead fucking wrong about that last part. i hate personal technologies now. i miss having an ipod that doesnt advertise shit to me and i miss when my htc wildfire didnt harass me 45 times a day to install an ai assistant and then install it anyway when i say no and i miss when the internet wasnt 5 websites all of which i have to log into and i miss when i didnt need an app to talk to my landlord. sorry past me you were actually right about 2009
The reason you can't be the next J R R Tolkien isn't because you don't have the talent, but because you're not the right kind of unwell. Tolkien wasn't bent for fantasy worldbuilding; he was bent for constructed languages, and got into fantasy worldbuilding in order to provide a material context in which to ground the notional evolution of the languages he invented. If you want to be the next Tolkien, you can't start with the worldbuilding; you've gotta find something extremely specific to fixate on, and develop it in such depth that inventing a world to contain it is genuinely the most logical next step.
#the best route is clearly to get really into a specific kink scenario and invent a world to justify it (via @salix03)
That's not even a joke. Developing a kink scenario so elaborate and so excruciatingly particular that it can only properly be contemplated in the frame of a world created specifically to contain it is genuinely closer to Tolkien's actual creative process than 99% of the stuff that plays at being heir to his legacy.
me: isn’t it funny how captain kirk was supposed to be the sex appeal of star trek but it ended up being spock
my dad: i thought it was bones

how the fuck did you figure him out this fast
Tbt my laptop 😭
i recently found out what the * * * that sometimes separates parts of a text is called and youre never gonna fucking believe it
you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.
lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.

It's funny that the online tropical plant community - a community that basically only came into existence during Covid - has already splintered into several microcommunities with distinctly different characteristics. Let me stereotype them for you:
Monstera People: The Monstera deliciosa is the archetypical pandemic houseplant, so you think these guys would be the chillest. Incorrect. Monstera people love nothing more than to scour the garden centers of the world for the most tortured, fucked up, barely-viable Monstera they can imagine. This one has no chlorophyll and looks like it went through a blender? Perfection. They literally call themselves 'sport hunters'. Approach with extreme caution.
Philodendron People: Gatcha Enthusiast behaviour. Gotta catch 'em all. Aa philodendron person will spend hours explaining the minute differences between two plants that look basically the same, and they will expect you to listen. One of those plants cost 400 dollars. They will expect you to understand. Also come in the Moss Pole Guy varient, which is basically just pokemon training in real life.
Anthurium People: Eugenicists. Anthuriums hybridize quite easily, unlike everything else on this list, so it's possible for people to cook up their own unique variety in their own home if they're so inclined. This is the sort of power with which most people should not be trusted. They'll be measuring sinus curvature with callipers any day now.
Hoya People: Control Freaks. Hoyas can look nice, but on some level they are plants for people who don't like plants. Every Leaf is Sacred. Nothing must ever change. This one grew two inches last year and it's throwing off the whole display. You wonder if they wouldn't secretly be happier with artificial plants.
Alocasia People: These are the grindset side-hustle guys. They just won't stop talking about how it makes total sense to spend 500 bucks on a two-leaf plant that will probably survive, you know, if you keep it in a hermetically sealed box and pH balance your water enough and never look at it, because once you get it to start making corms you can sell them for a steady stream of passive income that definitely isn't undermined by the fact that the only people who will buy those corms from you are also just doing it to eventually sell corms.
Syngonium People: Stoners. It's the only explanation for those varietal names.
Epipremnum/Pothos People: This is my plant :) He's green :)
#what about the orchid people#(hi it's me i am an orchid people)#also op is 100% correct (tags via @madis-hartte)
Orchid People: Orchid people are easily identified by their instinctive flinch reaction to ice cube trays
Oh, also: you don't get to choose which of these you are. There will come a day when a plant will simply find you and you will be forever changed by it. My plant obsession began with a half-dead syngonium and jade plant I found in my apartment building's back staircase. Now I lie awake thinking about how I can get my hands on a variegated Philodendron billietiae all night
#can we come up with a funny bespoke stereotype for me#we have so many marantaceae around#i was told they'd be difficult#they're fine and they won't die#even the ones i don't like (tags via @robustcornhusk)
Maranta People: As far as I can tell, there are exactly two kinds of maranta people. The first kind are actually mostly cat/dog people who decided that it might be nice to have some plants as well and picked out the humble maranta as the coolest/most interesting plant that won't poison even the worst-behaved of house animals. The other type are people who live with the first group and are desperately resentful of the aforementioned worst-behaved house animals for not letting them get other plants.
Carnivorous Plant People: This community predated the 2020 boom of online plant content and it's more than a little salty about it. Unlike their water, which is being filtered through at least two phases of reverse osmosis and one of distillation before it's even in the same room as their beloved collection. No, you can't touch them. As much curators of beautiful antique websites as they are of plants.
Calathea People: Masochists who get everyone else involved in their kink. It's harsh, but it's the truth.
@cassolotl !
Ah, thank you Verity! I am the "succulents that look like tasty sweeties [US: candies]" variety. In the past I have been in a deep relationship with aloe vera, and currently I've got one I don't know the name of but it looks so edible when I remember to water it, guys, so edible.
I now duly pass on to @averixus, who is way deeper into this than me, and they do Tradescantia: doesn't understand why anyone bothers to grow anything else because trads are so super easy, low maintenance and drought-tolerant due to being succulents, and they look amazing! but also always exhausted due to having to pull up, snip the good bits off and poke back into the soil every three days, and also water them all the time
Everybody say "thank you south america" for the humble potato
Actually let's get specific with it
*checks wiki*
Everybody say thank you indigenous people of present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia from 7-10,000 years ago for the humble potato
i think even if someone lives there right now they should let you go into your childhood home like once a year just to check it out
rice, like humans, is mostly water. thus, eating rice may be essentially equivalent to cannibalism. and as we know, cannibalism is frequently used as a metaphor or even stand-in for gay sex. therefore eating rice can be seen as the same as gay sex. in this essay I will
I have faith

when you save alarms for specific things but then you just keep reusing them. like sure wake me up at the chocolate milk alarm, what do i care
"how do you feel about labels as a queer person?"
but ykw at least i'm not on mount everest. at least i'm not paying tens of thousands of dollars to slowly suffocate in a 300-person line at the gates of hell. never in my life will i have to be steered in a hypoxic stupor through the maze of poop and corpses atop mount everest. on this earth a lot of horrible things can happen to you without your permission but there are a few that you have to opt into. you can just say no thanks! and be guaranteed never to have to be on mount everest. much to be grateful for actually
still not on mount everest this morning 😌 alhamdulillah
