“genre-savvy” no i want a genre-unsavvy protagonist. scratch that, i want a genre-deluded protagonist.
i want a protagonist who is convinced until the last possible moment that they’re in a lighthearted romcom–despite the proliferation of slasher murders. give me a soccer dad who is just so determined to enjoy family vacation, despite the fact the kids summoned an eldritch deity from the lake. a preteen who is experiencing a coming-of-age saga and annoyed their parents aren’t emotionally present (the parents are distracted by a literal zombie apocalypse). endless possibilities
You, a fool, when characters state different or contradictory things about backstory events or how the world works: This is a plot hole!
Me, wise, enlightened: Not so, neophyte. Have you considered all the exhaustive possibilities in which one of these characters simply has no idea what they are talking about, or better yet, is a fucking liar?
A life sized crochet Sinosauropteryx prima complete with pico-feathering in as scientifically-accurate of a pattern and color as I possibly could. I had to read some literature to get it right but I think this is one of the best projects I’ve ever made. What do I name her? 2-L 7Up bottle for scale
I’ve been working on her since September. The entire base was crocheted in this mustard I had a million skeins of. She didn’t even use up one
I love her so much she’s gonna sit above my TV in the living room for now until we move and I can have a Designated Spot for her <3
Her mouth can open and close and I purposefully put her in a laying-down position so that she can lay on surfaces well. 4 toes on each foot and 3 fingers on each hand :)
Oh, this is really neat, this is the same thing they did in Sh! The Octopus in 1937 to do this transformation scene. In black & white, the color of your light can hide makeup, then all you have to do is flip the color, and the audience just sees the difference in the light levels, but cannot see the color shift. The quick explanation for why this works is the blue makeup absorbs red light, looking very dark when only red light is present, but also looks about the same as relatively fair skin when only blue light is present. Same goes for the colors the other way.
Ahh, I think that they had this in one of the early Jekyll and Hyde adaptations as well. :)
Twilight Zone used this trick too, in The Howling Man, where this guy morphs into the Devil.
And again in Long Live Walter Jameson, where this guy loses his artificial youth
I think the first time it was used was Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in 1931.
the sexiest man alive should just be some dude. like, “this year the sexiest man alive is this jacked dude who works at Home Depot!! He’s hot and he’s forklift certified!!”
Google has restricted the gazaesims e-mail account, leaving the team without access to any eSims that have been sent as well as any new ones coming in. They ask that we refrain from sending more eSims for now.
I still think a genocide takes the #1 spot on the tragedy list, but the auto-captions are in the Top 5 after that for sure.
sim kern is easily, EASILY one of my all-time favorite activists and educators on tiktok. cannot recommend enough that people follow them on whatever platforms you use. they’ve been centering palestine in their work for years and educating on real antisemitism the whole time. any time i catch myself feeling hopeless, they’re a great reminder of the kind of world we can and should strive for.
Yknow. If you’re like, a tow truck driver or something. And you get a call. “Oh no, there’s a strange camper van parked on my street for two days” like
If you get there and someone’s living out of that van. You can just. Not tow them. Like. Let them know what’s up so they can find a friendlier place to rest maybe but just. Idk. Tell your boss it was gone by the time you got there or something. Don’t do shit like that to people who are already struggling.
Maybe you’re not a tow truck driver. Maybe you’re someone with some other kind of power. You can just. Lie. Protect people. Say no. Pretend you didn’t see it. Move on. Let people live. Have some class solidarity, use your power for good. You have choice. You have agency. You have compassion. Don’t let being an employee strip you of that.
We need a ceasefire NOW and end to the occupation that controls the food, the water, the economy, and the livelihood of 2.2 million people who are caged in by walls with little to no freedom of movement outside of the barriers.

any body part is automatically more erotic when viewed from an uncommon angle, like looking up at a dick, sideboob, backsack, etc. this is known as the Rare Sex Pepe Effect

I think it would be very funny for like characters in a fantasy setting to walk into a pub and try to order and the bartender sighs and goes “species and age?” While pulling out a massive book holding the drinking age for every type of species capable of purchasing alcohol
I seriously want to know why they took her body. I also want to know (and pardon how ghoulish this is) if she still has all her organs, given the reports of bodies being desecrated and harvested.
There is no justice in this world, my days, she was just a little girl.
Adding to the point of organs being harvested:
I want the idiots who keep “debunking” the stolen organs thing to understand, that even if it wasn’t for organ harvesting, the Israeli army has shown us enough of their depravity to understand that they could be doing this just for the sake of violating the body. We’ve seen and heard how they violate the living; now imagine what they can do to the dead who cannot resist or fight back.
Remember that we’ve only seen the crimes FILMED and shared. How many more couldn’t be filmed, and how many more were filmed but couldn’t be shared?
when one guy (afflicted by an insaitable hunger) meets another guy (afflicted by an insaitable hunger) and they’re both outwardly arrogant and privately terrified and on the run from a higher power and also (this is essential) they are both fucking losers
why do they want to make discord more inconvenient for everyone? first it was the whole ui change, now its click on the plus sign to add a picture but u have to click another thing first to choose what to add, and now also its when i click off a discord server, then click on it again, it puts me in the first channel instead of the one i was just in. so annoying! stop make me click when i didnt have to before!
