imagine ur mortal enemies with a vampire and they just fucking. take a nap until you die. 100 years later they wake up like “i win” how embarrassing,,,
The best revenge is living well……..
i think the best revenge in this case would be killing ur vampire enemy
Ok but imagine ur an immortal vampire and your worst enemy is a world renoun author who’s been dead for 500 years but people still quote him. Like imagine if ur mortal enemy was william shakespeare or dante aligheri. Like you cant even kill them by any means. Everybody loves them but you remember them and you hate them but everyone disagrees with you
oh god,,,, that’d be my worst nightmareeee. yeah ur right the best revenge is getting so famous that u become immortal and then ur vampire enemy can never escape u
I love how we’ve lost the plot so thoroughly on what “pov” means as far as a TikTok/reel/whatever and now it’s functionally the same as rod serling saying “imagine if you will”
i am not a smart fellow but i am wise enough to not ask for context to this.

this isn’t even the whole story tho this makes it look like something that happened recently but this happened all the way back in 2002. one of their managers (who booked their first show, founded their record label, and was a HUGE part of their success) came out as trans shortly before being diagnosed with colon cancer. they wanted to make sure she had the opportunity to live the rest her her life as she wanted, but also knew she wouldn’t accept the money if they just gave it to her, so they told her it was back-royalties for one of their albums. they didn’t make any public display of it, they didn’t do it to make themselves look good or to take a stance on anything. they did it because they saw an opportunity to help someone they cared about.
Cashier at the grocery store was blazed out of his goddamn mind. This man was so high he kept forgetting to speak the first half of his sentences. Nothing but respect for our soldiers.
Panel 1: A news anchor is next to a world map, implicitly in the midst of coverage.
Anchor: “…leaving millions dead in its wake and devastating the region. And now for more important things: Sports. The Worldwide Go-Karting League has taken a brave stand for fairness today, with a ban on green people at all levels of competition.”
Panel 2: A stick figure with a bulky torso wearing a cap is now on screen alongside the anchor, with the world map gone.
Anchor: “Joining us now we have… this person, who’s a famous go-karter I guess.”
Famous go-karter: “Thanks for having me on, so after my devastating loss of my rightful 12th place in the last world cup to some greenie, I realized I needed to fight.”
Panel 3: A view of the green trio’s living space. There is a window showing residential blocks outside, they have a drawer with a cup containing both a green flag and a rainbow flag, their couch is on the right and the TV is mounted on the wall on the left. Moss is face down on the couch, snoring. Lime is at the edge of the couch, hunched over in frustration. Leaf is sitting on the floor, petting a small grey creature.
Famous go-karter: “It’s honestly a travesty that this was ever an issue in the first place, I mean obviously green people have an inherent unfair advantage at kart racing…”
Leaf: “Was it always this obvious that they’re propaganda, or…?”
Lime: “Kart racing. Fucking kart racing. A biological advantage at that, too.”
physically incapable of being upset by being rickrolled. if it’s well executed i get to engage in the playful wink-nod with the jokester. and if it’s obvious. well then i just get to see my beautiful friend rick astley
i’m always a bit unsettled by disdain for intellectual or creative labor in leftist spaces. there’s this commonly held belief that academics are a bunch of rich old white men, rather than a wide variety of people who are barely getting by. most lecturers in universities are adjuncts living paycheck to paycheck. authors make very little money as a general rule. most researchers are overworked and underpaid. and yet there’s still this idea that academics are overcompensated to sit around and smoke cigars together while making shit up
I just finished reading Tevinter Nights and it’s a shame how a lot of low income folks like me don’t have access to it or any of the other Dragon Age novels or the cookbook or the two editions of world of Thedas *sigh* I did put a photo of my cat right here though if you want to see how beautiful he is, please ignore the loose pdf files in the folder!
Also you can reblog this so more people can see the picture of my cat. And since there’s nothing in this post relating to Dragon Age please don’t tag it with anything related to Dragon Age because there’s nothing related to Dragon Age in the folder I’m just putting it on a blog that is dedicated to Dragon Age because I love my cat
That’s a very cute cat and I also have seen this username before and I can’t help but wonder if there’s more Dirthlavellan you got hidden somewhere.
more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.
they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.
i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.
PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP. so many comments saying “blocking x celebrity was hard until i remembered they don’t care if i die. it got a lot easier then. they aren’t my friends, why should i feel like im betraying them?” what a beautiful thing to see
worst relationship status to have w someone is “objectively they’re a fine person who is nice but i don’t enjoy their company as much as they enjoy mine”
second worst relationship status to have with someone is “objectively they’re a fine person but they Bother You”
secret third technically more harmless but in practicality more frustrating relationship status is “objectively they’re a fine person and they like so many of the same things i do but they like them in a fundamentally different way that is harmless but reads wrong to my brain and it has made attempts at forming an actual bond with them aggravating more than anything”
tbh i think stuff like this is why so many people, especially younger people, fall into this trap of “well if i don’t like a person or thing, they must be bad”. it would be so much easier if you could dismiss them as bad and move on. but it’s like, no, Objectively Fine people or things can just not mesh well with you for totally subjective reasons. and sometimes when they’re people you mesh much better with their brain than they do with yours. and sometimes you have to live with that.
Had a girl who was very into me, liked me a lot and thought me a good man, a fine catch… but I found her boring. Nothing interesting to say on any subject, no strong opinions about any big topics. She was just… boring

To mark the 10th anniversary of Shovel Knight, the #1 indie game that first came out on Nintendo 3DS and Steam before it was ported over to other platforms (i.e. OS X, Linux, PS, Switch), I went ahead and pieced together an 80’s inspired portrait with him holding the shovel way high and running like a proud fi– uh, I mean, hero he is. Excuse me.
For this background alone, I used spraypaint to give it a much more inspired tone on a certain album that always helped me cool down with a much needed breather after a lot of work was done. If you haven’t, I suggest doing so right away!
My first time with Shovel Knight dates back five years ago when I got the game for my birthday present, exactly a few months before COVID-19 made me stay home and worked hard on animation. I was able to get through the Shovel of Hope campaign while going for a perfect run without having to lose a single life or any health whatsoever. And once it was done, I thanked the boys the Order of No Quarter for finally coming to their senses and it was a fascinating experience. No problems were needed.
Now to relax and wait for that DX edition so I can be patient for another round. But entirely different! Or was it physical?
it’s okay to do things that make your symptoms worse (as long as you’ll stay safe)
every once in a while you need to eat something yummy. or go on a walk. or a trip to the zoo. take a hot shower. cry your eyes out. dance. listen to music. draw for way to long. write. laugh. sit in a cafe with a friend. paint your nails. dye your hair. go on a run. pet a cat
sometimes you need to do things that are cathartic or make yourself feel alive. sometimes you need the reminder of why you’re fighting so hard to stay alive
this is your reminder that just because it makes your symptoms worse, it isn’t always the wrong thing to do. there can be value in these actions
If you think about it too, abled people do it all the time. Deciding to drink to excess at a party knowing they’ll have a hangover. Going to a theme park knowing walking all day is going to hurt their feet by the end. We have the right to make those same decisions.
This is called Dignity of Risk, and it’s an important concept in disability justice.
Everyone weighs their physical and mental/emotional health against one another in constantly shifting balance; inevitably, there are times when we choose to accept consequences to one for the sake of the other.
Infantilsing us by undermining our agency in the name of “protection” or “care” is yet another way that we are disabled by society.
