Erid receiving a visit from humans years after they discovered that Grace was alive, but Ryland is completely terrified, grabbing anything he can use as a weapon to protect Rocky and Adrian, shouting at the ship while they both r just "/we/ are the ones who should be protecting you"

yes, he saved Earth. yes, he misses Earth and the company of his own species, but he’s still deeply traumatized by his last experiences and fears they might hurt his two mates or try to take him back

[tsunflowers]

I’m reading this book about the changing arctic and the author stayed with the Nunamiut people of inland alaska for a while and talked to this high school kid who was like “ugh I hate going to school in the spring I wish I was hunting caribou” and I thought that was charming. you often hear about people who are devoted to preserving their traditional culture and knowledge but it’s rare to hear about someone who’s invested in the old ways out of pure teenage selfishness. school is lame and hunting caribou is awesome

this is honestly such a good idea

Branson Reese, whoever you are, I keep your words in my heart all the time.

[kaijuerotica]

"branson reese, whoever you are" put some respect on the smooth sharks one fear man's name

[ryemiffie]

I subscribe to the belief that Rocky was not popular on Erid (except with Adrian, he was very popular with Adrian, Adrian loves their social outcast freak partner) and I think it is very funny to imagine how the rest of Erid reacts when their (apparently last surviving?? They sent over 20 eridians what the fuck happened??) saviour of their species is the guy they all thought would die first and he arrives on a whole new ship (where the fuck did he get that?? He's an engineer, did he build a new fucking ship up there??) and now he doesn't wear clothes anymore and is speaking overly simplified Eridian like a pebble and weirdest of all he has seemingly kidnapped a dying alien and is now demanding all of Erid fix the abominable leaky space blob or Rocky will withhold the cure for the universe

what is the child annihilating zipline

in 2010, a camp counselor goon logged on to the somethingawful forums asking for help with the zipline he build from scratch, and with no engineering knowledge, that didn’t seem to be working right. when he tested it with a sandbag, it continued to gather speed during the entirety of the 143 foot drop (19 degree slope) until it slammed into the wooden platform at the bottom at a speed of 65mph, presumably creating a child paste that would have to be scraped off to be sent home. there were pictures.

[acridrainshowers]

groverhaus and the child-annihilating zipline are classics of post and we will never forget them

too bad the zipline isn’t as famous. the fucked-up bathroom has even gained more traction than the child-exploding summer camp zipline. there is no justice

[onceiwashere]

i love this but DON’T denigrate the fucked up bathroom that’s a legend

[patrickdiomedes]

fucked up bathroom?

this looks like a doom wad

[goatplanet]

The extremely good news is that someone DID make it into a doom wad

this is un fucking believable

I’m sorry, y’all are selling RIPline (The Machine to Kill Children) short, so I need to bring in YouTuber and generally amazing person Dan Olson in to sum this up for me

And some visual aides

She’s a girl with a wide taste range ok?

My favorite versions of the Evil Bigtops are the EB’s that actually have mental/emotional dirt on the humans.

“Stop saying those things!”

“Why, you’re thinking them?”

Danku lesbiennes!

If the woman that JK rowling posted an upskirt photo of had been a cis woman snopes wouldn't have said this was "mixed" and you know it.

[vexatiousvic]

Not that it was necessary, but I looked up definitions, and yeah, obviously "taking a photo under someone's skirt" is literally it. Fuck Snopes so fucking hard. I need them to explain to me how it doesn't fit the definition to a fucking t:

And what the FUCK do they mean, "public setting"?? Yeah, upskirts are mistly taken in public fucking settings! That's not an eycuse, that's part of the fucking issue

[pagliacci2]

And truly what do they mean it was in public? Does that mean that the upskirt photos people take on subways dont count because other people are around? OF COURSE IT WAS IN PUBLIC THATS HOW THE PHOTO GOT TAKEN IF SHE HAD BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED AT HOME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BREAKING AND ENTERING

[doe-eyed-disaster]

what do they mean "it wasn't taken surreptitiously"? there isn't any implication here except that because Freda Wallace was in public, she consented to any pictures that might be taken of her? this is just "look at the way she* was dressed". snopes is doing rape culture.

[estrogenesis-vaporeongelion]

according to archives the first version of the snopes article listed it as "true," but it seems to have been changed. given rowling's widely known history of extreme and aggressive litigiousness i'd be willing to bet her legal team probably objected and snopes caved

grace officially moving into his cutesy little biodome house and he immediately is like oh my god. i can take a real honest to god shower. for the first time in... i dont want to think about how many years. i cant imagine how incredible this is going to feel. rocky butts in to supervise which grace is slightly embarrassed about but hey. rocky is probably just... scientifically curious about how humans bathe themselves in ideal circumstances. this isnt a child safety lock type thing. he doesnt actually think ill trip and brain myself somehow. right, rocky? and rockys like no im very sure you will. i dont think ive ever seen you being "graceful" a day in your life. clumsy ass human. and grace is like. :/ RUDE. but he moves the fuck on because hes so excited about his awesome as fuck shower. HOT! RUNNING! WATER! hes going to feel legitimately clean for the first time in ages! sure, they havent synthesized soap yet, but theyll get there! and so hes in the shower, he turns it on and it comes out STEAMING. extremely undignified yelp, he crashes through the shower curtain in his haste to get away, and stands there squinting through the steam. and rocky internally is like WHAT DID I SAYYY but in actuality hes like Ughhh i will consult with biodome team about this :/ (<- was really excited to watch grace lather fluids on himself) wait here. dont do anything dumb. grace continues fiddling with the shower and comes to the conclusion that there are two settings: "boiling" and "off." he has to genuinely deliberate with himself whether a shower is worth stripping three layers of skin off with heat alone. and hes like. Well thats a gamble im fine taking. cut to rocky walking back in like "issue should be solved now" only to find grace crumpled on the ground red as the day he was born and shakily giving him a thumbs up

been reading cicero's rant about words being given obscene meanings and i don't think i've ever seen a latin sentence that made me burst into such immediate and violent laughter before

[thoodleoo]

had a couple people be like "i have no idea what this means" so to clarify: the word penis in latin originally meant tail and only later got the sense of, uh. penis. so this is cicero complaining that nowadays all these hooligans are using the word "penis" for naughty purposes

Wh-what do you mean it’s from a birthday cake

“Zooble is way better trans rep than Jax”

Looks inside:

Of the two Zooble is the most *agreeable* trans rep because they’re out from the get-go, funny, and are also largely considered morally acceptable in their actions.
