Just some gurl on the internet. On Twitter at @Mar_Mar42, on AO3 as Some_Gurl, and on YouTube at @Some_Gurl1353

My favorite thing this quarter is that half of my classes are pretty normal and the other half are WOKE. Like I'm taking figure drawing and quantitative math, but I'm also taking facism/counter revolution and gender identities, sexuality, and religion. I shall become the woke mob if I don't die over reading all of these different texts for those classes and/or die from doing a math class for the first time in like 2 years

mythbusters was so good because it wasn’t a killjoy show. they didn’t just say “see, it doesn’t work” and leave it there

whenever they find that the stunt doesn’t work as portrayed in the movie, they immediately ask “what would it take to make this happen?”

Some myths I’ll always remember:

* Are elephants scared of mice? (They only did that because they were in Africa and had access to elephants.)

* Will a bull run amok in a china shop?

* Is it better to run zig-zag or straight when chased by an alligator?

I love these because NONE of them turned out the way they expected. They went into all three with pre-conceived ideas of how it would go, and each time they “failed.” Elephants WILL cower from mice. A bull moves very gingerly through a china shop. It doesn’t matter how you run because ALLIGATORS WON’T CHASE YOU.

And each time, they reacted with just… pure glee. “Holy shit, we were wrong! Oh my god! This is great! We were so wrong!”

And that, to me, is what science is. Being excited about being wrong because either way it’s information.

I'm like 90% sure the person sitting next to me in class is drawing really good looking Maria Robotnik art (the movie version of her specifically) and I'm not sure how to tell them without admitting I've been watching them draw said art out of the corner of my eye

Worked up the guts to tap them on the shoulder after class like “hey I really like the Maria art you were drawing” and I swear their face was just 🥹 as they said thanks

HOLY COW I JUST ACCIDENTALLY FOUND MY CLASSMATE’S INSTAGRAM BECAUSE I HAPPENED TO FIND THE EXACT PIECE HE WAS WORKING ON IN CLASS

So like a week after I found my classmate’s art I ended up telling him after class like “hey your art by complete chance was on my for you page and I just wanted to say it was really good” and he said thanks and admitted that he was shy about his art so after that I felt low key bad for bringing it up.

So then imagine my surprise when today he ends up posting this on his story

I made the mistake of bringing up this Sonic guy saga to my family while at home for spring vacation and I think my mom + aunt now ship me with this dude

this website’s easy watch. *dangles a bunch of greek gods like keys*

i know what i’m doing dw

Keep in mind I only know like. Two Greek gods by name. Homer is one of them, and he was good friends with Odysseus I think?

Wait fuck Homer isn’t a god he wrote the fucking thing. Fuck

POST CANCELLED NO ONE LOOK

desperately google searching for “greek gods to pray to when people notice your online idiocy”

You're failing.

You don’t think I know that, God of Death? Can I pray to you so I can DIE ALREADY

Pluto is Roman, not Greek

Short version is that Pluto is a later name for the god of death, which is often associated with the Roman era/Roman mythology. Hades is the earlier name.

I set up my own house made of sticks and it has promptly fallen on me

HE’S NOT EVEN REAL?????*

I made this post thinking I knew what kind of fire I was playing with. Hephaestus, God of Fire, looking upon me from his fuck off tower or whatever said “Oh you think you know? Check this shit” and promptly set my post ablaze for everyone to observe

Hephaestus doesn't have a tower, he lived in a volcano

FINE THEN. BIG FUCK OFF VOLCANO. WHATEVER

Lightning Bait

You're basically doing the post equivalent of standing out in a field during a storm with a ten-foot copper pole, you better hope Zeus is busy hiding from Hera.

FUCK'S SAKE NOT AGAIN

I need you to name every greek God you know and what they are for plz

For science

OKAY FINE HERE'S WHAT I'VE FOUND

  • HERMES: DA FUNNY ONE
  • ZEUS: DA LIGHTNING (NOTE: THOUGHT HE WAS NORDIC, FATHER OF THOR)
  • POSEIDON: DA SEA ONE
  • HEPHAESTUS: DA FIRE/FORGING/STEEL ONE
  • APHRODITE: DA HOT ONE
  • KRATOS: GOD OF WAR
  • HADES: DA HELL ONE. ROGUE LIKE
  • APOLLO: DA DODGEBALL/PROPHECY ONE

ares is the god of war, not kratos

WHY THE FUCK DOES THE GAME CALL HIM GOD OF WAR THEN

I can't believe this post is less than 24 hours old, it feels like something out of classic tumblr lore

agree, feels almost... legendary
