PLEASE tell me anyone else has thought of a C!Techno AU where heโs an Andabatae gladiator in the Roman arena???? PLEASE??!!! The Andabatae were criminals, sentenced to fight in the arena as a form of execution, and they FOUGHT BLINDFOLDED. Their helmets were designed without eyeholes, so they had to RELY ON THE CROWD TO TELL THEM WHERE THEIR OPPONENTS WERE. LIKE CHAT. They were only given one weapon, usually a sword, and were usually without other forms of armor and they didnโt often last long, but can you IMAGINE. the SYMBOLISM. The idea of Techno fighting blind, maybe even BEING blind and thatโs why he survives for so long. He made a name for himself as the blind convict who could not die, until eventually fate or the gods or a good old fashioned sponsor (Philza mayhaps???) decide to free him and make him something else, something greater, but he never loses that weight on his head. He can never walk out of that ring of sand. The Chat follows him now, the echoing voices of the crowd, still stuck in his head even though heโs decades, centuries older than the arena. A thousand years later, heโs been a king and a general and a god amongst men. The Universe has kissed his head and called him friend, and the people have named him Justice for how his loyalty is blind, how he fights and rules equally, unbiased, unswayed by bribe or threat. And none of them know the truth. They know nothing of why he stands in his tent before each battle in silence and allows Philza to carefully, gently, fasten a thick strip of cloth around his eyes beneath his helmet. He steps onto a battlefield, deep in the heart of the Antarctic Empire, and he can taste sweat and metal in his teeth. His armor is weightless, the hot air licking at his skin, and congealed bloody sand crunches beneath bare feet. He can hear the crowd. He can hear the crowd. He can hear the-
Wild that folks keep saying beekeepers abuse bees as if bees are not both venomous flying animals and fully unionized
Hubris to think you COULD abuse bees
I think that if you see a balrog in an unlocked kitty kennel then you can assume that it wants to be there
Actually, beekeepers take many precautions to keep their bees from leaving.
many clip the wings of the queen, destroy new queen cells, cull queens they don't like and use bee pheromones to prevent a hive from naturally swarming or absconding. They also try and prevent mating with the African honey bee, which makes them less docile among other things. During artificial insemination of queens, drones are crushed and โspareโ queens are killed.
Coupled with the fact that there is evidence that insects do feel pain, this is not great.
It is so fucking bold of you to link the exact same paywalled book thirteen times in your reblog to throw people off the fact that you're using one source from 1859.
I don't think there's ever been a funnier vegan response in the history of this hell site. This is actual gold. If you cited an argument like this in a first year undergrad intro to bio module, then your lecturer would be legally entitled to fire you out of a cannon. I think I'm dying
silly asl comic โmeal timeโ
this is the guy they made video games for. literally nobody else
one day i will make a masterpost of all the shit T does to your junk of only to spare the dozens of young trans guys i see panicking about it the embarassment of having to ask a bunch of strangers if their dick is okay
fuck it im doing a cliffnotes version now:
-bottom growth varies widely. I've known guys who get barely any growth and I've known guys who end up with huge t-dicks (lucky bastards ๐) it really just depends
-it feels weird at first, but it's not particularly painful. i would get mild pain occasionally when mine first started to grow but I've known a lot of guys who haven't had any pain whatsoever. it's really nothing worth panicking over, relax.
-it is extremely fucking sensitive when it first starts to grow. like EXTREMELY sensitive. i had to switch from boxer briefs to boxer shorts because the chafing was too annoying
-you are going to end up with a foreskin if you get any growth at all and you will have to learn to clean it. thankfully it's very easy to do.
-to put it bluntly, your junk will start to smell like balls. I've seen a lot of guys panic over this. it's normal, i promise you're fine
-atrophy is a bitch but there are things you can do to fix it. I've never tried any of them because i wasn't really big on bottoming to begin with, but I've talked to guys who have had success with it. just ask your doctor.
-while I've known a lot of people who have gotten dried out by T, i haven't really noticed any change myself so ymmv
-you will probably at some point have to compare notes with other transmascs because most doctors dont know shit from fuck about medical transition. it can feel awkward at first, but you'll be surprised how quickly it dissipates. it helps to have a handful of transmasc friends you're already comfortable with vs a bunch of random strangers.
-the "you will never be able to orgasm again" myth I've seen terfs spread is laughably untrue. don't worry. there was a bit of a learning curve for me figuring out how to jerk off since i was used to working with smaller equipment, but it's fairly easy to get the hang of
-you aren't going to be unable to find any sexual partners because of your bottom growth. that is a myth and a particularly cruel one at that. i have met people of every gender and sexuality, cis and trans, who have been very very into t-dick. you'll be fine, bottom growth is hot.
Adding that bottom growth tends to start significantly earlier than a lot of medical timelines show, at least in my experience and in the experiences of those I know who are taking T
forgot to say this but yes for me it was iirc the first physical change i noticed
random stan pines lore that sends me every time i think about it:
- attended the kentucky derby in its 'decadent and depraved' era, lost everything
- had a cocaine problem
- invented pink sauce in the 1980s, and probably also gave people botulism
- was institutionalized
- was a diaper commerical mascot as a baby
- is on the no fly list
- got into a fistfight with stan lee in 1973
- was in a biker gang
- was a male stripper
- still has a rotary phone in 2012
- tried to start a pyramid scheme at the age of 12
not sure if you mean source on the sauce or just in general??? lmaooo
but sure what the hell source list
attended the kentucky derby: tale of 2 stans and cut storyboard that it was a horse named paycheck that he lost on sorry for the amino link but i couldn't find the direct scribd post he was talking about (it's probably been lost to time) but i figure thatgffan is a reliable source
had a cocaine problem/was a male stripper: this was on thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com
how like 'i'm fine juice' is clearly beer, there's kind of nothing else that 'edible flour' could be alluding to
the sauce: the book of bill in the lost journal 3 pages with ford's pros and cons list for contacting stan
"Stan Sauce: The Miracle Sauce that's too cool for the FDA!" Is clearly goofing on the pink sauce debacle.
was institutionalized: in dipper and mabel's guide to mystery and nonstop fun
baby model: in code in dipper and mabel's guide to mystery and nonstop fun and not in code on the website
is on the no fly list: admits this in blendin's game
got into a fistfight with stan lee in 1973 and tried to start a pyramid scheme at 12: admits this in the lost legends comix up story
was in a biker gang: mostly cut content from the jimmy snakes episode pitch, but is alluded to with the leather biker jacket and helmet in stan's closet in scary-oke
still has a rotary phone:
"text me a photo? now you're just not speaking english at this point"

I don't think most people fully appreciate how free it truly is to roam. not far. the close stuff. the nearby buildings. you can actually just go most places, reasonability permitting. there are places you do not go because you do not need to, but you can go there. most buildings are designed to allow people inside of them, you can look around any store, all the sections, and then you may leave
go as high as you can get in every building that permits, and then go back down. some elevators won't let you do that, but many will. if they ask why you are there, say it is for an interview, wander around a bit, enter the washroom, and if they get suspicious, ask where you are, then apologise. this will only work so many times. if pressed too hard, say you are here for an interview with someone, use your last name for them, and when they say nobody works there with that name, slap your head and leave quickly. if they try to kill you, you've entered into the martial portion of your journey, and I can offer you no guidance
if someone does work there with that name, you need to try playing the long lost heir card and hope it works. it might be your building soon, and then you can go up and down it much as you please.
Hello it's me, your mutual that lives near (ish) the opla set. Here are some updates from the past few months:
-they built a huge purple cave opening. Massive. It was there for some weeks. Then they removed the entire thing
-I discovered that there are two Going Merrys. These seem to be moved around the set, for whatever reason.
-the other ships are HUGE. There are maybe 4? of them that I can see from the highway
-in the place of the huge cave, they've now built half of a white building with like wooden trimmings. It's also pretty big. I googled 'One Piece white building' to try figure out what it might be but turns out they're visiting a fuckton of places in this damn anime. lmao.
-not really an update but when I was driving past with my mom in the car, I was like do you know all these pirate ships lined up on the grass are for a really popular tv show? And she was like, awesome let's pull over and go look at them. Had to explain to her that's probably not going to be possible lol.
YOOO FUCK YEAH UPDATES!!!! anon i think about you every day.
purple cave purple cave purple cave hmmmmmm little garden? perhaps? thats tje only island w caves i can think of. intriguing
huh interesting. id think it was the whole 'gets wings for skypiea' thing but theyre not doing skypiea (yet). interesting interesting. maybe like one of them is more detailed interior and one is exterior? one is rigged for stunts and one isnt? i am Invested
fuck yeah i love the ships theyre so cool im so excited
choosing to believe the building is part of a set of robolle. because thats where we see ace for tje first time and i want to see. him.
akskdjhffh love that love tjat
A Timeline of Events
Since One Piece events (especially those related to the world's past) tend to get very complicated when many characters and happenings are involved, I decided to specifically make a Vegapunk and MADS focused timeline.
With Egghead having just ended and having provided a lot of interesting information around these characters and the scientific past of the One Piece World, I thought it'd be useful to have it all in one place.
This timeline also includes some events relating to some other groups that are directly and/or vaguely connected to the group, such as the Rocks Pirates, the broader Egghead Family, Vinsmoke Family, and some mentions of the Beast Pirates and Franky/Tom's Workers. If you're interested in these groups, this might be useful to you!
haven't drawn this man in months, that had to be changed
Okay okay okay so Iโm changing like every recognizable detail of this for privacy purposes but yall need to appreciate this
So I know how to retain CCTV footage, right? It doesnโt come up everywhere but I know my way around- and if someone gets jumped in a parking lot or whatever I can go backwards and see whodunnit
So Iโm at this one place, right? And I get a call that an older woman in a wheelchair got hurt somehow and we need to see what happened.
Nobody remembers the exact time, because of course not, but they tell me she was wearing like a massive hot pink jacket and sheโs in a wheelchair and she left with a medic round 09:45ish, so I figure Iโll start there.
So I find the incident itself no problem, but they need ALL footage for liability and insurance and stuff, so I have to keep going
And about ten minutes backwards, I lose her. She comes into view past a single shelf on one of the worse cameras and vanishes.
like. VANISHES. Hot pink jacket, big bulky black chair, gonzo. No idea where she came from.
So, I pull up entry cams. Zoom backwards till I see her come inโฆ at like 06:15.
THREE AND A HALF HOURS EARLIER.
So first off, this is gonna take me like two hours minimum to write down, forget retention. And Iโm kind of dying in my soul a bit but I start over there, watching her come in and meander and whatever.
At about 08:30ish she disappears.
Doesnโt leave. Doesnโt head to a bathroom. Doesnโt take her coat off. Her trail just stops.
Now, Iโve done this before. Typically, a location only has the mandatory minimum amount of room for a chair or walker to get around, so a person using one can only go forwards and itโs hard to 180. That limits options and makes it easier to follow, whereas a little unattended and fully mobile kid will zoom around in circles and shit and go who the hell knows where.
Then I see her again on the other ass end of the building, and I have to go back again to see how she GOT there.
My guys.
Her two and three-point turns are INCREDIBLE.
Sheโs popping on the wheels, flip, zoom, sheโs out somewhere I didnโt think she could even GET to. Iโve been planning my search for places that fit a wheelchair or least-resistance fast-paths from A to B and sheโs likeโฆ doing some Tokyo Drift shit.
I donโt know WHY. The whole place is basically completely accessible so long as you put up with having to reverse, but no. No, she goes where she wants.
Iโve been at this for half the day, and I still have no idea where she went for like an hour and a half.
Fuck me, Iโm taking a lunch break
This is barely an exaggeration
This is the opposite of the girl struggling on that chicken nugget
the aforementioned godawful chicken nugget scene, for the uninitiated
also a big fan of the sushi vcr
this keeps being reblogged by people and i donโt know. why
Gonna add my favorite scene of an anime girl eating
first girl threw those fries in her mouth like darts
People forgetting the best anime diva eating scene
