once you recognise the ubiquitous and inevitable fandom life cycle it becomes much easier to free yourself from it and just keep enjoying things in a more healthy way while still thinking critically about them

So, uh . . . is there a Mr. Understanding?

[cipheramnesia]

Yeah but he won't ever shut up about how all the hot girls only date jerks and keep him in the friend zone.

Largest whale ‘graveyard’ discovered, with skeletons spanning 5 million years

The fossilized remains of more than 450 whales have amassed along a 750-mile-long stretch of the Indian Ocean floor

GRAVEWHALE!

A vast whale necropolis has been found

In the Indian Ocean, a deep-sea area roughly 1,200 kilometres long and 7 kilometres deep was found to harbour an ecological landmark site of

Okay seriously this is some fascinating shit.

And I don’t know shit about fossils, marine biology or ocean research.

Whale graveyard dating back five million years discovered

The Indian Ocean site is "far beyond anything we had imagined", one researcher says.

Fascinating stuff!

One of the better parts of The X-Files keeping its monster-of-the-week episodes and mythology episodes completely separate is that several of the monster-of-the-week episodes just have other aliens in them and it's never addressed. Like in the mytharc it's said that only the colonists and humans are left & the colonists have killed every other species but no. There's genderfluid Amish sex-murderer aliens, once. There's aliens who abduct animals to save their DNA from extinction and/or make them invisible, once. There's a ghost alien on Mars, once

Not only this, but some of the monster-of-the-week episodes have massively powerful international conspiracies that just... never seem to interact with or be part of the massively powerful conspiracy that the Cigarette Smoking Man is part of? They're just alongside it?

Some of them had powerful resources at their disposal! Once Mulder and Scully were dealing with dudes who controlled an entire array of orbital weapons satellites that could hit targets with energy weapons in very precise ways, and that was a one-and-done.

there’s an alien who is hiding on earth so he can play baseball

Not only an alien hiding on Earth to play baseball, but an alien who is physically turned into a human being by his love of baseball

Some Touching Sentiments lore :3

As part of the ruling following Zeenoth's trial in 836 PD, the Cobalt Soul seized assets of his estate. The Valley Archive incorporated seized properties into itself and repurposed them into facilities for both the public and staff. One property, a tweihouse one block from the Valley Archive, serves as staff housing.

While based in Zadash, Beau moved out of the Valley Archive dorms and into the house in 837 PD along with Yasha, Caleb, and, less officially, Essek. They occupied the house until late 839 PD.

considering that canonically we know anakin is a robotics nerd with 1 friend (who he calls Dad by mistake at least once a week) and 0 rizz, i’m very enamoured by the fact that in any NO66 Good End AU, all of the jedi would be so confused that HE was the one with the secret wife. i have a scene in my head where a couple council members, let’s say depa and mace, are chilling gossiping and depa says “omg GUESS who’s secretly married” and mace names every single member of the order living and dead before guessing anakin
