This is exactly what the 90s would have been like with today’s internet
The three gods of Chaos meet up to party once more before the end of the human world.
The best part of this vid is the fact that they spent enough time out dancing in the streets for the sun to go down completely

glimpse into my beautiful imaginary world where arthropods are really big and we domesticated them
edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.
insane news, today a man in my city stole a bus and just. kept making all the stops.

vampires are so full of shit. "oh the human race is beneath us, you're just livestock to us" I don't think you know what livestock is. do you feed us? care for us? protect us from predators? no. you just slink around dark alleys and ambush people. that's not what a higher being does. that's a bottom feeder. a parasite. karate punches your head off
She Would Say That. She would DO that.
And he’s upset why?
This is a behind the scenes from a TV show. He’s the guy who plays the character whose gravestone it is. He’s mad that people are memeing a behind the scenes photo of a fictional character’s death because he happens to play that character.
I’m not sure if I should laugh or hit my head on the desk over this one.
The face I just made 🙄
My favourite part that this is leaving out is that by the end he and the rest of the cast weren’t getting along and they did a full on photoshoot in front of his grave.
if he doesn’t want us to use THAT photo, it seems like we’ve got three malicious-compliance-ready replacements right here
prev tags tell the rest of the story:
#this is also a guy who crossed the SAG-AFTRA strike line#so he kinda deserves us to keep posting this meme for all eternity
SHALLERGIES
HELL YEAH! I found the tag through @penandinkprincess (great blog & writer, love ur Witcher fics too, happy to see we've another fandom in common!) and apparently it's an entire thing!
Okay now that I got his ask I also feel the need o contribute xD and, headcanoning both of them would be allergic to some things, personally (and I think most of fandom agrees) I feel like Shane would already know all about his own allergies and how to avoid and treat them, meanwhile Ilya is of course completely in denial about possibly having allergies too, even though he's always making sure to help Shane avoid his allergens...
HOWEVER
at some point after therapy and antidepressants genuinely enjoying life at some point he has a realization of Oh My God I Don't Just Don't Want To Die Anymore I Actively Want To Live As Long As Possible and this is when he asks Shane to help him figure out what he's allergic to, what foods are bad for him etc :)
saw a post letting people know that your ao3 bookmarks are viewable on your account unless you make them private, which suggests that the median ao3 user does not use ao3 in what i will call 'the optimum fic-finding treadmill' where you find a fic author you like and look through their bookmarks to find more fics that are good and then look through that author's bookmarks for even more good fics. like a conga line of great but extremely specific tastes. or one of those chessboard rice doubling analogies and oh no that is a LOT of ao3 tabs.

Have I ever shown you guys these weird late 80s Soviet Lord Of The Rings illustrations?
They were made by Sergei Iukhimov, who’s virtually unknown otherwise.
Holy fuck this is absolutely perfect
Some more reasonably sized ones here:
although i’m not able to find specifically when these illustrations were made, they were in a 1993 russian translation of LotR. it should be noted that there were no official translations in russian until after the collapse of the ussr, but samizdat translations were very common (and as i understand still are)
iukhimov was ukrainian by the way, possibly from odesa though there’s very little info on him i can find in english. his now-dead website exists on the internet archive but text only sadly. someone on the tolkien collector site i’ll link below at one point compiled a bunch of his illustrations on weibo though that link seems to be defunct now unfortunately
Thank you Zionius. Some astonishing ones there that i havent seen. If you want me to send you pictures of the silmarillion and hobbit illust

Project MUSE - When Philology Becomes Ideology: The Russian Perspective of J.R.R. Tolkien
These look weird because they are repeatedly and actively playing with exactly the early medieval images Tolkien was playing with. A few are more modern storybook, but at least one is FANTASTIC riff on the Bayeux tapestry. Another two are lifted directly from early medieval paleography (handwriting) right out of a textbook on Insular incipits (how an opening phrase or title of a manuscript was written). Another im pretty sure borrows from the Book of Kells; that’s definitely a specific image, I know that image. And Tolkien knew it too.
The figures look like, say, the illustrations in Old English Genesis A. There might be a little Eastern Orthodox icon style creeping in, or it might just be that that style has a lot in common with early medieval British and Irish manuscript illustration (ca. 600-1100 AD). These are great, and an extremely clever nod to the texts Tolkien was drawing from, and even the literal manuscripts in which he was imagining his work (or at minimum Bilbo’s work, in-universe) to be written:
As Tolkien says, “Further information will also be found in the selection from the Red Book of Westmarch that has already been published, under the title of The Hobbit.” (The Fellowship of the Ring, “Prologue: Concerning Hobbits”). Or, perhaps, in the Red Book of Hergest (Welsh, Llyfr Coch Hergest) — another Red Book of the West (or Wales, that is). Obviously The Hobbit does not actually show up in one of the most important medieval Welsh manuscripts (currently housed at Oxford), but from the very first page of lotr, Tolkien was playing with an incredibly specific manuscript history!
And this guy, Sergei Iukhimov, apparently clocked that shit on day one. And got a lil weird with it. Respect.
oooouuuggghhhh
