Hey, do you have any interest in seeing pictures of internal mechanics of planes? My brother is an aircraft mechanic who currently works mostly on 737s and regularly sends me pictures of cool looking plane guts that I have permission to share. (Also, all non military so no warthunder business here 👍)

love the war thunder disclaimer and god yes please send me the plane guts

Glossopetrae (tongue-stones)

Pliny thought they fell from the moon during lunar eclipses, but by the Renaissance it was commonly believed they were the tongues of dragons or snakes, possibly the ones Saint Paul turned to stone. Or that fossils were the earth trying to spontaneously generate life through mimicking existing animals.

Glossopetrae prevent snakebite and counter the effects of poison, so many nobles (who basically made a hobby of trying to poison one another) wore or carried glossopetrae. The idea that they could be shark's teeth was first published in 1554, but didn't take off until 1666, when Niels Stensen dissected the head of a great white shark.

 The real point of this post is fossilized shark's tooth necklaces are historically accurate costuming and tv shows should get on that.

Oh man you were in Bancroft! Do you go to the rockhound gembouree every summer?

Only got to go once, school usually prevents me from being in Bancroft then. I haven’t been to Bancroft in a few years now either. I miss it.

My 11 questions for you:

Favourite birthday celebration? (Your own or somebody else's)

Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate?

What impressions do people have of you that aren't true at all?

If you could retroactively rewrite the end of one piece of fiction (Game, movie, book, tv series, hell--fanfic even, anything you like) so that your end was now canon, what would you rewrite and how would you change it?

What fictional world would you move to if you could?

If space travel and terraforming were developed enough that it would be fairly safe, would you volunteer to help settle another planet? No going back to Earth.

When playing video games with decent character customization, do you make an approximation of yourself, or a 'default' character (a default for you, not an in game default option, eg always playing an elf or a bald character or a thief), or a unique person every time?

Favourite teacher in school? (Elementary, High School, University prof, w/e)

Something from the last month you're proud of.

Something from the last month you regret.

One difference between you today and you last year.

  What type of bizarre animal do you think is the worst?  (ex. red-lipped batfish, blob fish, naked mole rats, tazmanian tigers)

I'm boring but--Sphinx cats. Despite trying my best to like them I just can't. They can be cute I guess, but for me half of the appeal of cats is how soft and nice they are to pet (the other half is how warm and heavy they are when they lie on you). Petting skin is just kinda bleh to me.

What have you done recently, big or small, that you’re happy about?

Lots of things! Some friends and I were planning a renpy monster dating sim but then we stopped talking about it for several months, but ever since two of us got rpgmaker in a humble bundle we've been talking about it again, and I love coming back to these characters that we made and 'lost touch' with and remembering why I enjoyed them so much.

Also I'm pretty happy about the cake I just baked. It smells really good.

Thirdly because I suck at motivating myself to do anything ever and tend to avoid finding out information that might freak me out, I'm happy that I went and double checked that it really was too early to apply to SFUs spring semester and I hadn't gotten applications mixed up with registrations or anything. (Whew!)

What story (Movie, TV, Video Game, Book, Comic, ect) moved you the most emotionally?

This is hard. I tend to get really, really into things and then have forgotten them a few months later. I know there are things that moved me quite strongly but I can't really think of them at the moment (I'm huge fucking crybaby so just making me cry doesn't count). I don't think anything has really moved me powerfully--maybe if there were more movies about ace trans kids or something? Hm... Well if I can cheat and answer the story which affected me most, then possibly His Dark Materials. I used to drive with my mom and dad down to Vancouver nearly every summer, and we would listen to the Golden Compass on tape and sometimes the Subtle Knife or the Amber Spyglass, and eventually I got the box set of the books and read them myself. The first one was my favourite, because I didn't like Will (Sullen baby ace Toby never liked anyone who ended up romantically involved with the main character.), and Lyra was my role model. I was ridiculously upset at the end of the third book (spoilers?) that Lyra lost her intrinsic ability to read the alethiometer and had to learn it again. I hated stories that ended with people being too grown up for whatever.

Whoops long and didn't answer the question.

What is your favorite fragrance?

Uh, food. Does that count? The smell of baking--cinnamon buns!

What is your favorite way to compliment others?

I generally only compliment my friends, I think. People I don't really know but I think are cool get called cool. Friends--telling them what about them makes me enjoy spending time with them so much, or if they think they're not that good at something they are actually pretty good at, telling them that. I like being specific, not vague, because that feels more honest to me, and I hope feels more honest and believable to them. I like to try to compliment people in ways they won't dismiss, but will take to heart and feel good about.

How big is your songs library?

Non-existent. I only listen to other people's music, random songs on youtube (that other people probably introduced me to), AMVs (neeeerd) and random playlists I find on the internet. There is no music on my computer or phone and I don't own a mp3 player of any kind.

Are you a Pink or a Purple?

I think I'm the wrong person to ask. I'd like to be a Purple but I think I'm more of a Pink.

If your outfit today was on a reality fashion show, what would its title be?  (be creative)

I'm not sure I know what this means... "Blue and Orange Go Together Just Fine STFU" ??

Rewrite a verse of a song you like to make it queerer (if possible.  if not, then please link to the song)

A.. song... that I like? Do something music??? poetry talent??? Nope, I'm going to be hugely lame and link to a sailor moon music video that has a line about having a hundred wives. thas what you get for requesting music creativity out of me. not even the proper video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztGgDsPbAQk&

Who makes you smile every time?  (online or offline, fictional or real, celebrity or someone you know)

Oh I'm easy. Everybody I vaguely like makes me smile. All my friends do within seconds of getting together. I guess I will plug Jet Wolf though because she can make me laugh about Sailor Moon when I'm in the grumpiest moods. And since I'm talking about livebloggers I will also plug Mark Oshiro of Mark Watches and Mark Reads for being the horrified victim of all the tragic things I like and letting me bask in his terror and confusion. That makes me smile because I'm awful. (He's doing Utena! He's doing Utena!) (Plus his comment section is the friendliest of any site ever.)

What’s your favorite youtube video?

I don't know I'm seriously a huge fucking loser who just watches AMVs so I'll take this opportunity to advertise a very unappreciated anime by linking to the only decent amv of it I know of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYrZz0wSCpg

Those Japanese videos about the cat some guy rescued that he makes every year with clips of what she did that year are pretty fucking adorable too though.
