unfortunately a lot of the corny self help advice turns out to be true but the thing is you have to come to those conclusions yourself otherwise it just sounds dismissive and dumb

Hahaha that’s great. By the way, this is the picture of him with his head in.
Well, you know, some bathroom graffiti offers insight.
Red marker handwriting on a bathroom wall. Text reads:
“Boss made a dollar Granddad made a dime But that was a poem From a simpler time.
Boss made a thousand Gave pa a cent But that penny paid the mortgage Or at least it paid the rent
Now Boss makes a million And gives us jack Smugly blames the workers For the labor that he lacks.”
And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls.
quiz enjoyers! i am now inviting you to come create something in my workshop❕
many people having a wonderful time engaging in the act of creation
i honestly hate how much people use "this is the only body you get" as a reason to not do anything that might be permanent. its the only body you get so you need to make sure you like it! get that tattoo! get those piercings! forsake your humanity! let an old and vengeful god replace your beating heart with an ice cold stone which yearns for the warmth of blood! start hrt!
This is… the exact opposite of that dark souls gif
I don’t think it’s possible to adequately state how fucking ballsy and skilled this player is considering the EXTREMELY specific timing of that dodge and catching the spear attack WHILE TAUNTING BETWEEN EACH THROW
I’m wheezing

I figured they were referring to this gif
Since they do the same pose and it really seems like the opposite outcome lol
Ah yes. Shroom.
linking arms with my fellow beloved transes who like nonconsensual and/or monstrous transformation story tropes because it allows you a fantasy where you get to change your body without being made to feel at fault for it
i shouldve been born into the universe where i get bit by a werewolf or something and struggle with my new monstrous form a while until i ultimately realize that i love being an inhuman beast and start living my best life, instead of this universe where i have to stick myself with a needle once a week to achieve a form that will only be seen as monstrous by a select portion of the population and i cant even render their bodies unidentifiable about it
to the people saying this is awakening something in them, its never too late, and if imagining that youre being experimented on by a mad scientist to turn you into a Creature against your will is how you get there, then thats how you get there

i don't think everything is supposed to feel catastrophically overwhelming all the time. i think that's probably not great.
For my 3D production class I had to create a three shot short that was a remake of an existing movie scene- with muppets. I ran out of time to do the particle water effects, but this is basically Pacific Rim anyway.
Honestly I miss the energy Tumblr had when the first Pacfic Rim movie came out. Everybody was talking about who they were drift compatible with and that was like a huge compliment. Ppl were drawing Kaijus, and Jaegers, naming ‘em. It was a better time
My brother in law recently became a veterinarian and it has really driven the point home as to how fucking bonkers veterinary medicine is. We don't expect human physicians to really know much outside of their own specialty - a dentist, an otolaryngologist, and a maxillofacial surgeon are three totally different dudes. Meanwhile a veterinarian at a wildlife rehab center is doing orthopedic surgery on a hawk and then doing rounds on baby hedgehogs in the hedgehog NICU and administering antibiotics to a ratsnake. And he also knows how to perform surgical interventions on a cow! What the fuck! Those are all totally, wildly different kinds of animal!!
Shout out to veterinarians, they know Too Much.
I always think about that one post that was like "how come the surviving doctors in zombie apocalypse stories are always veterinarians" and the reply "because veterinarians make 'not getting bitten by their patients' a core skill"
