His table is piled high with food he will never touch but he will kill you for taking the smallest morsel, even if you are starving

shit how did I completely miss the point of this part

[martunamajor]

Also, his eyes aren’t in his head. They’re in his hands. He only sees what he reaches for, what he desires, what he wants.

[mulletlove-deactivated20200811]

the idea that humans are a garbage species is so obnoxious no one talks about the peaceful parts of history and prehistory because they aren’t as exciting as us killing each other but um homo sapiens have been doing awesome things all over for a long time….we survived the fucking ice age…we made it through the sinai desert….we shared the savana with big cats before we ever made a weapon, we wove baskets from literal plants and halved blades from flint to handles we made, carved harpoons from bone and fought megafauna for our loved ones, cooked food and took care of the elderly and buried our dead, painted pictures and shared stories, built homes from clay and mud and straw, made instruments so we could dance and sing…it is so easy to focus on the negative and i get it ok we are in the middle of a mass extinction event that specific humans are at fault for but listen: they don’t want you to remember it hasn’t always been like this…we were and are so much more than evil

Had to include this tag by @elodieunderglass: “#we were born of risen apes not fallen angels”

[elodieunderglass]

Oh I’m glad you like that, it’s a Robert Ardrey quote from African Genesis (1961) that has resonated with me for a long time:

“But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams however rarely they may be accomplished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses.”

Terry Pratchett paraphrased it notably in Hogfather, but I like the original quote rather better. We’re a complicated species, but we are known among the stars by our poems.

A few people have tried to “well actually” in my activity, by pointing out that early humans were aggressive animals, and it’s like. well. what an absolutely novel viewpoint. perhaps you could in fact fold that into OP’s points and read it again, looking for their point this time.

“Pants were invented for men” not according to my ancestors.

[gardenofgrigoryeva]

Pants were invented for riding horses. People who didn’t have nomad horse culture all wore dresses. Dress wearing old greek men considered pants to be the mark of barbarism. Like the Scynthians and Samaritans.

Also- the Scynthian and Samaritan tribes were known for equality between genders. Where women were renouned hunters and archers. They are where the greeks got the idea for Amazons.

So sorry bro pants are totally for women. You just mad its for riding something that’s not you.

[sexhaver]

i know this exact post has been made hundreds of times but the funniest fucking part about Warhammer 40K lore is that orks are canonically reality-bending telepaths but are too stupid to exercise their abilities consciously; instead, things that enough orks think should work end up actually working, even if they violate the laws of physics. orks think that painting their vehicles red makes them go faster and painting missiles yellow makes them explode more, and so it does. captured ork mechs that get disassembled are usually revealed to be full of nothing but random scrap metal and wood piled haphazardly together and refuse to work when piloted by a non-ork. orks have fucking openable windows on their spaceships to let in a breeze

[gorps]

[robertbahnartwork]

I don’t care about warhammer 40k at large but the idea of orks being tremendously stupid football hooligans who make things that shouldn’t work just happen anyway because of powers they’re too dumb to use consciously is incredibly funny

Korra + Impossible Redirection

Aqueous + Ferrous Fluids

[ryansyn]

This last gif is actually really cool when you consider that Kuvira bent the meteor rock (the ferrous fluid) as if it were just a soft metal - while Korra is bending it like water because she’s trained in water bending and knows how to do that. In the words of Guru Pathik: “If you open your mind, you will see that all the elements are one. Four parts of the same whole.” To the Avatar, why can’t rock be water?

[innthemakings]

Korra is that bitch. Period.

So, VivinkArt on Twitter designed an Australian based Pokemon game, complete with starters, a map, and a regional champion - Steve Irwin

Gallopoli is the Pokemon Nurse companion

This little chicken turns into a goddamn 2 meter tall spider THAT IS BASED OFF A REAL SPIDER

BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE.

All of these are ORIGINAL DESIGNS, and that last one is a regional form of Krookodile.

Most of these have names that in this context are punny. I love it.

“Beauty Tahani wants to battle!”

“Trainer Chidi wants to battle! …Maybe? Actually, hold on, he isn’t totally sure yet. Trainer Chidi is debating the ethical implications of Pokémon battles with himself. It’s… taking a while. Maybe you should just go.

Trainer Chidi… has a stomach ache.”

“Holy shirtballs! Trainer Eleanor wants to battle!”

“Oh, dip! Trainer Jason wants to battle! “

“Trainer Janet wants to battle, and she can absolutely assure you that she does not have a Maractus!”

“Elite Four Michael wants to battle! (He’ll meet you in the dot of the “i”)”
