In Super Mario 64, positioning Mario underneath the lowest rotating platform on the bottom of Tick Tock Clock at the highest clock speed will result in the platform continuously squishing Mario for extremely brief periods, without actually harming him.
remember that post that said if it got notes I would read homestuck
i never did (i had a bunch fo missing assignments at the time and was near to failing so I just.. didn’t)
…Im doing this again because i feel tumblr deserved another chance to make me read homestuck. but I’m making it WAY higher because I do NOT want to reach it. >:(
the goal… 10k. it wont happen. It won’t. Surely you, dear tumblr user reading this, is not stupid enough to let this happen.
^photo so i can distinguish this post from others in my notifications tab.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
you said that within hearing distance of a gimmick blog
as someone who got 2 concussions this year and inhaled toxic substances at the workplace i can confidently inform you all that all characters in the star wars prequels are absolved of stupidity. they’re all dumb as a box of rocks but its not their fault that no one made them wear helmets in wartime. the introduction of SPOSHA (space OSHA) would reduce incidences of darth vader creation by at least one i just know it
“anakin shouldn’t have done that” he was huffing space gasoline at age 7 literally what did you expect. “obi-wan shouldn’t have done that” he literally goes through a window face first in episode 2. “padme shouldn’t have done that” she’s had a career since she was 10
OVER 20? i thought that shit was at 14 god’s honest truth. which is bad enough but WORSE? holy shit. you could fucking fly a jet plane through the holes in his brain, legend has it if you get a brain scan on that man the scarring on his frontal lobe spells out ‘HELP.’ fucking 20+? that live fast die young ass motherfucker. born with a job, broke both legs by 6, death NASCAR career by 9, logged his first kill at 11, married at 19, 20+ workplace electrocutions by 22. installs his first authoritarian government by 22. overachieving but in all the wrong fields only. i mean 20+? that man hasn’t walked in a straight line in years. holy fuck man. 20+? yeeeeeeeeeeesh. holy shit. fuck
today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned dante’s sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, dante’s inferno dante, who died in 1321.
but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.
the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold dante’s exile.
The objectively funniest part of this is actually that the city that holds his remains, Ravenna, refused to give his remains back. This was a ploy from florence to have his remains moved back for the tourist money and its been ongoing for a long time. Florence had a fake tomb built in the city to trick people into visiting, and have tried to force the return of the remains.
His actual caretakers have been very steadfast in keeping them hidden, moved, or generally out of reach to respect his choice in life to never, ever, ever return to florence, even when he was first offered the chance to return. This is at this point an almost millenium long feud that florence is really, really mad about losing
so basically the five people who wanted to uphold his exile were in the right
my favorite thing about the mystery genre is that we all accept the concept of “world famous detective” without hesitation even though that is absolutely not a real category of celebrity

What I find incredible is that Hbomb really isn’t a detective. Like, I mean nothing against him, but he’s basically just following the research bunny. It’s just that he chooses to research things that everyone else takes at face value and keeps stumbling on elaborate webs of lies.
remember when elomusk asked one of his rocketship employees to give him sex favors in exchange for a horse
I think this tidbit should be more famous than his exploding cars. It’s all I’ll ever need to know. A real human man tried and failed to barter with a flight attendant for third base by offering to buy her a horse (that’s what girls like, right?)
I NEED TO MAKE AT LEAST 500 DOLLARS IN 2 MONTHS OR I DONT KNOW HOW ILL SURVIVE MOVING OUT.
im delilah and im an openly queer plural tgirl living in a shitty homophobic place in texas, and im going to be kicked out on june 1, 2024.
that means if you see this post before june 1, 2024, there is still time to help me. please.
hey yall. this is probably gonna be one of the last posts about this, since im running out of time. because of @punkitt-is-here’s super awesome kind reblog, i managed to make about 500 dollars, bringing me up to 1500, but after that things have slowed down to nearly nothing again. thank you to everyone that has donated, i appreciate it more than you could know, and thank you to the handful of famous people who reblogged and gave me a shitload of exposure.
im not sure if making 500 dollars in the next 2 months is going to be like.. possible. and after all the research ive been doing, im honestly not completely confident that 2000 dollars is going to be enough. im hoping that ill be able to pay for a few months of rent at once, so that im more likely to be able to get a place without already having a job in abq. so right now, my goal is basically “crowdfund as much as i possibly can so i dont have to live on the streets”
im hoping for a miracle right now. maybe, under the right circumstances, that could be you. maybe you just got paid and you dont have anything to use the paycheck on, maybe you have a bunch of savings that you could spare a portion of, i dont know, but god, i could really use as much kindness as i can find right now.
thank you to all the people who have helped already, i appreciate it more than you could know, and im hoping it helps me survive.
hey yall. please dont ignore this one?this is like the worst time to do that please
General tumblr reminder, since some people don’t know: If the person’s URL has “deactivated” plus a string of numbers (a date) after it, that means that they manually deleted their own blog. It doesn’t mean they were banned. Banned blogs don’t have “deactivated” after them and will just be the normal URL you can’t click on or interact with. They look very similar and function the same, but they were caused by two very different things.
Documenting what is quite possibly the best exchange I have ever seen on this website.
He will not be exiled again
I enjoy all parts of this post. The trans leash, the confusion, the heartfelt display of affection we give to our pets. The biography, the history lesson, and the morality of keeping cats indoors are all bonuses.
Do you actually care about transmascs or do you just like slapping top scars on fictional twinks and talking about boy pussy
Do you actually care about transfems or do you just like talking about girl cock and throwing around performative ‘yass queen’s and call people 'mommy’ on their transition timelines
Do you actually care about nonbinary people or do you just like talking about 'they/them pussy’ and drawing skinny white fem-leaning androgynous people and calling them 'nonbinary’
Before this gets much farther: this isn’t a post aimed at cis folk only. being transgender does not prevent you from being transphobic.
people reblogging without this last addition are cowards btw
“the three dots on the side” call her by her REAL NAME.. Meatballs Menu
im gonna say it now so everyone in my notes stops arguing over this. meatballs menu is three dots side-by-side. kebab menu is three dots up and down. bento menu is an array of 9 dots in a square shape. hamburger menu is three lines horizontally. Yes there are others but none of them are nearly as prevalent so i dont care enough to list them. goot bye
Literally what they’re called btw this post isn’t a bit
u ever read a poem so beautiful u wanna live between its lines? u wanna drink it and simultaneously drench yourself in it? u wanna fully become it and make every line of it a permanent part of you???
Reblog if you want more interaction with your mutuals and followers :D
Heck yeah. Send me asks, post weird comments on or do strange reblogs of my posts, send me messages. Even if you think it sounds goofy, I am a very weird person and will ramble with people.
A lot clicked for me when my mom said the reason she was so reactive towards me as a kid was that she assumed intent behind things I did, rather than recognizing my behaviors for being normal kid behaviors or normal autism behaviors. So I got treated as if I was an adult who was intentionally doing things to upset her. She’d react to me like I had the maturity and wherewithal to do things in a cruel or manipulative way, making her life harder, when I was just existing. Just trying to learn how to cope and be a person myself. When she told me this I stopped in my tracks trying to process. Why would anyone’s default assumption be that a kid is trying to antagonize them instead of like, struggling with something they’re experiencing? But she was also raised the exact same way, treated like everything she did carried the weight of adult responsibility, not seen as a kid.
As a child therapist who focuses on audhd kids THIS!! So often parents put intent behind kids actions when it’s just “kid trying to feel safe and comfortable”. babies are not trying to “manipulate “ you, kids and teens are just pushing back to figure out the boundaries of their world, if a kid doesn’t like something don’t force it on them. Stop expecting better emotional regulation from your child than you’ve ever shown them.
Stop expecting better emotional regulation from your child than you’ve ever shown them.
It frightens and discourages me how pervasive “tribal” stereotypes and imagery are in the fantasy and adventure genres.
It’s all over the place in classic literature. Crack open a Jules Verne novel and you’re likely to find caricatures of brown people and cultures, even when the characters are sympathetic to the plight of the colonized peoples - incidentally, this is the biggest reason I can’t recommend 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to everyone, despite Captain Nemo being one of my favorite fictional characters of all time.
You can’t escape it in modern cinema, either. You’ll see white heroes venturing bravely into jungles and tombs to steal from natives who don’t know how to use their resources “properly.” You’ll see them strung up in traps, riddled with sleeping darts, forced to flee and fight their way out. Hell, Pirates of the Caribbean, a remarkably inclusive franchise in many other ways, had an extended sequence of the white heroes escaping from a cannibal civilization in the second film.
And when fantasy RPGs want a humanoid enemy, the “bloodthirsty natives” are the first stock trope they jump to. World of Warcraft is one of the most egregious examples, with the trolls - blatant racist caricatures with faux-voodoo beliefs, cannibalistic diets, Jamaican accents, and a history of being killed in droves by (white) elves and humans - being raided and slaughtered in nearly every expansion.
It doesn’t matter how vibrant and distinctive the real-world indigenous, Polynesian, Caribbean, and African cultures are. It doesn’t matter how much potential these real civilizations offer for complex and sympathetic characterization. Anything that doesn’t make sense to the white western mind is shoved under the same “savage” umbrella. They’re different. They’re strange. They’re scary. They have to be escaped, subjugated, eliminated, ogled at from the safety of a museum.
Modern writers, directors, and developers don’t even seem to realize how horrifying it is to present the indigenous inhabitants of a place as “obstacles” for non-native protagonists to overcome. “It’s not racist,” they say, “because these people aren’t really people, you see.” And if you dare to point out anything that hurts or offends you as a descendant of the bastardized culture, you’re accused of being the real racist: “These aren’t humans! They’re monsters! Are you saying that these real societies are just like those disgusting monsters?”
No, they’re not monsters. But you chose to design them as monsters, just as invaders have done for hundreds of years. Why would you do that? Why can you recognize any other caricature as evil and cruel, but not this?
“he would not fucking say that” but its about a character being a leftist. he would not fucking believe that
media literacy is knowing when a character would say “i dont vote. why are you bringing politics into this?” no matter how mad it makes you to hear somebody irl say the same thing
Imagine being the only person alive who can say this
buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”
Every time I’m busy all the theaters are playing those made up artsy movies that insecure people talk about to make fun of “film snobs” that just end up sounding really cool and whenever I’m free it’s all shit like a Winnie the Pooh Slasher Movie and a Goonies reboot
When I’m busy: Lithuanian film about a homosexual pigeon who travels to Germany and after learning about his pigeon sexuality, witnesses the fall of the Berlin Wall with his lover, a discarded cigarette who is a drag queen
When I’m free: Ghostbusters 7: Bustin Never Felt Better
i think the single greatest example of environmental storytelling in video games is in Unpacking. it’s a game with no dialogue that consists entirely of unpacking your stuff out of moving boxes and placing it into the correct places around the place your character is moving into. there are a lot of subtle storytelling beats, like the same stuffed animal coming with you through every single move, but there’s one level in particular that takes place right after your character graduates college and moves in with her boyfriend that goes normally at first.
but then you get to your framed diploma.
you go to hang it on the wall in the kitchen, but there’s a bigass painting already there that you can’t move (presumably your boyfriends) that takes up the entire wall.
you go to hang it on the wall in the living room, but there are already a bunch of posters there - again, presumably your boyfriend’s. there’s clearly space for your diploma if the posters were scooched closer together, but again, you can’t even move them.
with a growing sense of dread and desperation, you move to the bathroom. this room has the only wall space in the apartment for you to hang your diploma: directly over the toilet.
but if you try to place it there, it gets a red outline, indicating that it’s in the “wrong” spot and the level won’t finish.
you go to the bedroom.
there is no wall space.
you click under the bed.
the level finishes.
the next level has you moving back into your childhood bedroom.
what if instead of Santa Claus having a sack of presents he slid down the chimney and gave a graphic birth under the christmas tree and you wake up to find an iPad covered in Juices but still functional
What if Santa Claus left milk and cookies and the milk was from his overfilled teats and the cookies are just oreos
There’ll be a post like, “ableism is bad” and all the comments will be “yeah! Ableists are all sociopaths and narcissists!” “Ableists all live in their moms basements and don’t contribute anything to society!”
