Sometimes good posts are made by annoying people so I’ll help out

These are Safe Shorts. They were made by Sandra Seilz after someone attempted to rape her. If the fabric is torn, an alarm will be sounded.

This is the Rape-aXe, invented by a South African doctor by the name of  Sonnet Ehlers. After interviewing a rape victim who wished she had teeth down there, she made this. If someone’s penis is inserted and pulled back out, the teeth will sink in, and can only be removed by a doctor.

The Killer Tampon (couldn’t find a site for it), made by retired anaesthetist Jaap Haumann. When penetration takes place, the sharp end will slice the offending appendage.

The Anti-Rape Belt (also couldn’t find a site), made by a group of Swedish teenagers led by Nadja Björk. It requires two hands to undo.

Anti-Rape Underwear/Bra (once again), as made by a group of Indian students. Will deliver an electric shock when met with unwanted advances, as well as sounding an alarm.

Undercover Colours. Made by 4 male undergraduates at North Carolina U, they change colours when in contact with chemicals or drugs that cause unconsciousness. Used in case you’re wary that your drink has been roofied.

These are just tools to help, but in addition to being mindful of your situations and staying safe, they can help when the worst happens.

Stay safe.

RapeAxe has a gofund me up that barely has 700 dollars. I feel like the inventions that havent even been funded yet should be linked to the page you can support them at.

Marinette: if I died, how much would you miss me?

Damian: It’s cute that you think death can get you out of this relationship.

The fact that our baby's childhood dream was to be whatever his parents (parents, plural; as in, not just Gabriel) wanted makes me so sad...

He's not even a child here, he's a baby, an infant!

And this, this just breaks me.

When he changes, it's himself...

...with a fake smile plastered on his face.

He's spent his whole life appeasing his parents and being what they've wanted, even though it's been killing him inside...

He's sacrificed his happiness for theirs...

...and I could literally cry.

(P.S. Why are Emilie's eyes blue and Gabriel's green? I thought it was the other way around??)

[theluckiestlb]

Luka discovering the reason his recent relationship imploded was due to his ex being a superhero responsible for the fate of millions and constantly risking her life to fight a domestic terrorist—also the guy he came in second to happens to be her crime-fighting partner—but they’re both unaware of that fact.

All within the span of like two minutes.

Miraculous Realizations #28

Ya’ll…

THEY TURNED ALEC INTO RUPAUL!!

[nonbinary-androids]

My mood after wishmaker too

[swiftie-miraculer13]

OMG!! Let's turn this into a fandom meme because this pic is such a mood

[flightfoot]

So one of the reasons I’ve seen for why Luka might’ve lied to Ladybug about knowing hers and Chat’s identities is because he didn’t want her to worry, to have a breakdown (and yeah, she probably would, especially with Luka still being vulnerable to akumatization AND knowing Chat’s identity as well as her own). Which… yeah, I can see that. Luka doesn’t want Marinette to be hurt or unhappy.

Man though, that’s just piling onto the tension and reveals for the end of the season. Marinette doesn’t know that Alya told Nino that she’s still Rena Rouge, or that Nino spilled his and Alya’s secret identities to Adrien, and then there’s the whole mess of things that Chat’s been kept from knowing. The end of this season is gonna be a clusterfuck of lies and secrets collapsing on everyone’s heads, and I am HERE for it!

[swiftie-miraculer13]

AGHHHH! And we thought the season 3 finale was bad. I really don't want to see my babies hurt but I also kinda can't wait see how this is gonna go down...

CINEMATIC PARALLELS

[swiftie-miraculer13]

THIS! This was my first thought when I saw the scene!

[swiftie-miraculer13]

I just realized Adrien's parents' eye colors are swapped in this scene

[ironychan]

I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.

If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.

If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we'd never come up with those ears.

If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn't know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.

We wouldn't know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.

My point here is that we don't know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they'd been all around us the whole time.

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

XKCD

[heyyitsjayy]

So that people don’t need to go through the notes:

- We have fossils of spider webs

- Paleontologists have reconstructed the larynx (voice box) of extinct animals and we have a pretty good idea what vocalizations they were capable of

- Fossilized pigments have been found in a variety of taxa

- Soft tissues fossilize more often than you think; we have skin impressions for like 90% of Tyrannosaurus rex’s full body (shoulder blades and neck are the only bits missing)

[wemblingfool]

If pop culture is your only window into extinct animals, then you do not remotely understand how much we know.

We know the entire lifecycle of a tyrannosaurus. We know from the sheer amount of remains we have, from every stange.

We know roughly how they sounded (as the person above me said).

We know they had remarkable vision.

We know they had the second. strongest sense of smell in history.

We know from their bones that they grew to a certain size and stayed there until about 14 or so, then absolutely ballooned up to their adult size in about three or four years.

We know they likely lived in family groups, because we have bones with certainly fatal injuries for a solitary animal (broken legs and such) that are completely healed.

We know exactly how other dinosaurs look, down to colors and patterns, because bones are not the only information that is preserved.

The Sinosauropteryx is one such dinosaur. Because pigmentation molecules were preserved in the feather impressions, we know it's colors, and it's tail rings (which one would argue would be it's "iconic feature."

(Art credit Julio Lacerda)

Microraptor is another! We know from feather impressions that it had four wings. We know from pigmentation that it was an iredecent black, like a raven.

(Art credit Vitor Silva)

This is not limited to dinosaurs, or feathers. We've found pigmentation in scales and skin. We've completely reconstructed two extinct penguins, colors and all. We've figured out the colors of some non-avian and non-feathered dinosaurs. We can identify evidence of feathers existing on animals without feather impressions.

We have feathered dinosaurs preserved in amber.

We can defer likely behavioral patterns through adaptations we see in bones, and from the environments they were found in. We can see how certain movements evolved through musculature attachments (yes, how muscles attached is often preserved). We know avian flight likely evolved by "accident" by the way early raptorforms moved their arms to strike at their prey.

We also understand behavior in extant animals and can easily speculate likely behaviors in extinct animals. (A predator running for it's life is not going to exhibit hunting behaviors)

We learn and understand way more from "rocks" than paleontologists are given credit for. And if you watch a movie like Jurassic World, which has no interest in portraying anything with any sort of accuracy, and your take away is "We can't possibly know anything about these animals," then you don't understand science.

As for shrinkwrapped reconstructions, we understand how muscles attach, and how fat works. Artists who lean into shrinkwrapping are are not generally concerned with scientific accuracy, or biology. They're only concerned with Awesombro.

If true paleoartists tried to reconstruct a hippo, while they naturally would not get every bit correct, it would certainly look like a real animal, and not that alien monster that tumblr is so fond of using as "proof" that paleontologists don't know anything (an art piece that itself was extreme and satirical, and a condemnation of the particular subset of paleoartists I mentioned earlier)

Every time paleoblr tries to show you how extinct animals actually looked, all we get is a chorus of "thanks i hate it" and "stop ruining dinosaurs!"

STOP- IM DEAD-

[flowerais-deactivated20211031]

gentle reminders if you’re sad:

you are more loved than you think

remember what you already have

it’s ok to not be good at something

just doing your best is enough

be as kind to yourself as you are to others

remember to drink water and eat enough

get some sun, try not to isolate yourself

take deep breaths, believe in yourself

things will go better than you imagined

I’m proud of you and you’re going to be ok

[sassyduckqueen]

So I watched Wishmaker...

And I actually enjoyed it! Surprising given that it’s part of the train wreck that is season 4 but I generally enjoyed the episode. There are one or two things I didn’t like (LUKANETTE BEEN BROKEN UP!!!) but other then that, it was good. The Villain was fantastic. He looked amazing, his build up was good and his power was frankly brilliant. I loved that he actually made the dreams come true. Like just straight up come true. No warped reality, no nightmares. Just pure innocent dreams becoming reality and the chaos that ensured was great. I mean Mr Banana wanting to be a cucumber, Jagged wanted to be a crocodile, the toymaker wanting to be santa… brilliant. 

And the Luka content was glorious. It just makes me love his character even more. From the way he handled Alec’s insult and actually made him cry to the way he tried to help and cheer up Sadrien to how he saved the day as Viperion. Beautiful. And the way he tried to reassure Adrien and Marinette about their futures. Lovely. The fact that he was willing to sacrifice himself to draw the robot away to protect his friends. Amazing. Like that is how you do a self sacrifice. It was the right moment and of course! Viperion to the rescue!! 

Speaking of second chances, I thought Marinette’s wish to be the Knitting Fairy was adorable but chat… oh chat… I get why he did it. I really do. He didn’t remember his childhood dream and it was hurting him not knowing but he knew what was at risk. He knew that his identity would have been revealed and he didn’t know if Viperion had activated his second chance yet, meaning he had no idea if his reveal could be reversed… yet… he still let himself be hit. Let that sink in. He let himself get hit, knowing it would reveal his identity and might not be reversed. Luckily, Viperion is one smart cookie and knew how to save the day but seriously chat. Grow the fuck up. Say he wasn’t Shadow Moth’s son but he was known and his identity revealed. Do you think Shadow Moth would leave his family alone? Because he didn’t with Alya. He was willing to endanger his friends, his family, the entire of Paris and Ladybug… all for a dream that has been long forgotten because as people grow so do their dreams. I will say though I love the character development we got here for Marinette, Luka, Adrien and Alec! 

And Finally that ending. I’m actually glad Luka didn’t tell Marinette but I don’t think it’s because he now fully believes in the love scare. Nope. My personal HC for his sad expressions isn’t because oh look Marinette is Ladybug and is in love with Adrien who is actually Chat Noir and is in love with Ladybug… no, no. I don’t accept that because of Miracle Queen and Truth. You see Luka is the one person who has seen how much pressure and stress Marinette is under. He knows she can’t tell him what her truth is and that it is crushing her so his sad expression isn’t to do with the love square but to do with the fact that the girl he loves is the superhero of Paris. He now knows why she couldn’t tell him and he knows the full extend of the pressure she is under. And it hurts him to know that plus there’s truth. He tried to expose Marinette’s secret so imagine the guilt he must feel now he knows what said secret is. As for the sad expression regarding chat, it’s a similar thing. While Chat is certainly not a great choice for a hero, he is still a hero and both of them are still children who are carrying the weight of an entire city on their shoulders. That is why Luka looked sad! Not because of some stupid Love Scare bull (i’m looking at you asstruck) but because his friends are risking their lives to help the city against a crazy madman! He isn’t sad because of them, he’s sad for them!

So in conclusion, Luka is best boi, Marinette’s childhood dream is adorable, Adrien is an idiot but I guess it’s like father like son, this was the best episode of season 4 so far and it is straight up something out of a fanfic (i know what you did there, writers of miraculous. I know). Oh and a little call to Sass for been the best Kwami and one of the only two adults in the actual show with the other one been Luka himself.

Side Note: While I love the idea of Luka making instruments, his whole thing about Music been his nature and the fact that he can play violin, I do wish they had brought in earlier instead of dropping in this episode and been like ‘surprise, motherf*ckers!’ Like if you want to make him a musical prodigy with the dream of building instruments then show it and build it up!

my country is burning, i wish it was a joke but it isnt. more than 10 cities are burning and our government doesnt help at all. people are losing their houses, animals trees and people are dying. the fire was started on purpose and the people who started it have still not been found. we dont have enough equipment and no one is helping. 53 different forest is on fire they are currently trying to take it under control. If you want to help my country you can message me and I'll give you the links for donate. If you're unable to donate you can use our tags and tell people around you about the situation. we need your help, this is serious.
