A hodgepodge of things that catch my fancy. This is not the Tumblr you're looking for.

Check out my ongoing comic Crow Time. It has crows, and also neat pantheons of epic beasties.

[tweefeet]

One of my favourite channels, one of the very fun sets. Also, mad love for the décor.

this leaves out the most crucial tip you’ll ever need:

-site:pinterest.*

excludes the entirety of pinterest’s evil domainverse from image search

Reblogging for the Pinterest addition

[heroofthreefaces]

I think you mean “reblog for the pinterest subtraction”

[tweefeet]

Have always been a fan of Mr Bowles. All the interesting little stories. And that restroom door.

Loneliness is solitude with a problem.

From NYT’s essay,  Kristen Radtke Considers Another American Epidemic: Loneliness But really, from Maggie Nelson’s “Bluets.”

[nudesornaw]

if you’re having a bad day, here’s a cute little marching band

this actually made me cry with joy also one of them is eating noodles

[readsquirrel]

It just keeps going and getting better. *^^*

[involuntaryorange]

Me two minutes ago: “cry with joy? an animation of cats playing instruments made someone cry with joy?”

Me now: (sobs into a tissue) “OH MY GOD THAT ONE IS PLAYING TWO RECORDERS AT THE SAME TIME” (blows nose)

Chicken Hat made me happy.

When you’re sorting the tank filters and a big boye wants cuddles.

“Gotta make sure they are cherished”

[a-book-of-creatures]

Someone with a degree in biology please explain this, is the grouper really cruising for cuddles or are we misinterpreting its behavior?

Because it looks awful cuddly is what I’m saying

[bogleech]

Fish are WILDLY intelligent and many are so social that they naturally have social behaviors for interacting with other different species as a whole reef-wide community!! When it comes to interaction with humans, many fish can learn to recognize specific humans and increasingly seek attention such as scratches, rubs and simple play behaviors!

[linguisticparadox]

@linddzz can you confirm the fishy desire for skritches?

[linddzz]

I’ve had a 4ft goliath grouper come up to me and stare reproachfully until I started giving her scritches and gravel showers. Picking up handfuls of the gravel and gently dropping it over their back is a nice fish massage. We encourage the behavior bc it’s a great time to check over them for any health concerns.

Also this looks like maybe a diver helping with a gravel vac tube. Basically a big siphon used to take junk out of the bottom of tanks.

But yeah this is pretty standard grouper neediness lmao

My betta fish used to love getting little pets

[irisbleufic]

I’ve had 5-6 bettas over the years that have enjoyed cuddles. Half of those would do just about anything to swim into my hand or butt up against my fingers during tank cleaning to “ask” for attention. Fish are smart and some species are very, very sweet if they happen to imprint on you.

Luke and I were looking at Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights and discovered, much to our amusement, music written upon the posterior of one of the many tortured denizens of the rightmost panel of the painting which is intended to represent Hell. I decided to transcribe it into modern notation, assuming the second line of the staff is C, as is common for chants of this era.

so yes this is LITERALLY the 600-years-old butt song from hell

EDIT: I still can’t believe this took off like it did this is crazy??? Just wanted to let people know that there are indeed errors in the transcription and this is indeed not a very good recording (I threw this together in like 30 minutes at 1 in the morning,) but I’m working with the music department at my college to get the transcription more accurate!

in the meantime enjoy this fantastic choral arrangement by wellmanicuredman i’m in love

[darkshrimpemotions]

I weirdly love that there are crotchety fandom elders around who say shit like “in my day, (insert fandom term) meant this specifically, but now you kids just use it to mean any old thing.”

It seriously gives fandom such a sense of heritage and family, like yes grandma, tell me more about how you had to write fic uphill both ways in the snow when you were my age.

[unanon]

I’m approaching crotchety old grandma.

[laurenthemself]

No but this is me.

DRABBLES ARE EXACTLY 100 WORDS NO MORE NO LESS AND DON’T FUCKING TRY TO TELL ME OTHERWISE.

[pilgrimkitty]

This is me also. A crackship is NOT the same as a rarepair and the two terms canNOT be used interchangeably.

[lil-miss-choc-deactivated201812]

YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE OTP.

It’s literally right there in the name. It is your ONE true pairing.

[pilgrimkitty]

I get around this one by have one OTP for each fandom. It’s my OTP for that fandom.

[nubianamy]

I am a crotchety old fandom grandmother and I approve this message

[ladybubblegum]

the drabble thing irks me SO MUCH it makes me feel like an old lady yelling at kids on her lawn

[stupidlullabies]

#oh fandom #THE DRABBLE THING #DRABBLES ARE 100 WORDS #ONE GODDAMN HUNDRED WORDS EXACTLY #jfc that’s what made them such a fun and interesting challenge #was getting it to exactly 100 words #and the rush of FINALLY getting there after picking and poking #or the sheer dumb joy of nailing it within a word or two on the first shot #so you only had to do the most minor editing #do not give me a fucking 8000 word fic and call it a drabble #ThAT IS NOT A DRABBLE (via @wasoncedelight)

IF IT IS MORE THAN 100 WORDS IT IS A FICLET NOT A DRABBLE OMG WHY DON’T YOU JUST CALL IT A HAIKU WHILE YOU’RE AT IT???

[gethporno]

I WILL DIE ON THE DRABBLE HILL!!! GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

[mynameis-not-littlegirl-deactiv]

WHY DON’T YOU JUST CALL IT A HAIKU WHILE YOU’RE AT IT

[radical--softness-deactivated20]

I didn’t even write fic except for that one brief period between 2007-8 but I HAVE DONE A LOT OF INTERNET OKAY so even I know this to be true. Fandom culture grandmas are awesome.

[gritsinmisery]

All of this.

[desert-neon]

A squick is not a trigger! Triggers are real and dangerous things for some. Mild discomfort at an idea, theme, or plot point does not fall into that category.

Say it with me, kids: a squick is not a trigger!

[ruffboi-mags]

I, too, will live and die on Drabble Hill

[neil-gaiman]

I failed miserably the last time I wrote a Drabble. I could not get it down below 102 words. Eventually I gave up, and made the first two words the title, Nicholas Was. And then I retired from Drabble writing.

It is truly hard to be alone with a fat cat nearby. 

[tweefeet]

So I have been browsing this guy’s channel for nearly a year and...suddenly this pops up. 

[tweefeet]

May or may not be political, but stumbled across this one after logging into Spotify after a long spell. It has got to be one of the better covers of this track so far.  Also, Bones UK is right up my alley. Does one shape the algorithms that feed one’s music list? Or is it the other way round?

[tweefeet]

Not a fan of the commentary, even if it is very interesting.  Oh, but the lovely ASMR noises. Acid-free paper and wired glasses may be my new favourite things.

Rediscovered this cover of a local songbird’s while trawling my old FB account for the name of a local photographer whose name I can’t remember but whose works I can recall in vivid details. (There was one with what looked to be the local swim team posing while an “aunty” tosses a pail of water in the corner.)
