Literally any other colour would’ve been a better choice guys.
I’d like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings.
im sorry but this reply absolutely killed me
red can mean whatever the heck you want it to mean, that is never going to change that this straight up looks like they DRAGGED A BLOODY BODY ACROSS THE FUCKING FLOOR 😂
Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Red does has more positive connotations than negative like the @mintymaiden said. Red is associated with more love, lust, passion than blood and death just like the chart shows you but If you want, here’s a link for you to check it out yourself. Also, check out “The Designer’s Dictionary of Color” by Sean Adams. Have fun learning something
You can theorize to Nebraska and back but that doesn’t change my immediate reaction which is that someone is literally dragging a corpse around
I like that the presumption here is that “No One On Tumblr Has Heard of Color Theory, Let Me Explain in Depth” rather than simply acknowledging that the VISUAL EFFECTS of this particular color choice, applied in the manner it was, can still amount to “this is a hospital and that looks like blood”
like, color theory doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If your design of choice for Blood Red Paint is asymmetric splatters and sploches against the wall, or in this case, a snail trail on the hallway’s floor, an infographic won’t override the viewers’ instinct.
this post is the perfect summation of tumblr’s reading comprehension and critical thought abilities

Ive looked at this guys deviantart. He likes making comics where judy dies, but only if its funny. There are a lot of comics like that in his gallery, or there were last time i checked. The fox in the picture is not nick wilde, its a female fox oc who he wrote about judy getting with and marrying and adopting kids with after she broke up with nick. The abortion comic was not actually pro life, it was just meant to be a one shot soap opera type story that happened to use abortion to create the drama. Judy is supposed to be the one in the right in that comic, which is why she gets all those nice things happening to her in the follow up comic.
I think the thought process is that he wants to write overly dramatic and silly stories and just happens to use zootopia characters to do that instead of making up ocs for it for some reason.
Oh wow, this actually is a soap opera. That’s insane.
Shout out to this one woman from Blair Witch Project. According to the directors everyone involved in the scene was a plant, except for her, some random woman from the real Burkitsville who was asked about the Blair Witch and immediately made up a story about seeing a documentary on the Discovery Channel about disappearing hunters. While carrying a child. Unsung MVP of horror
as a nonbinary person I shall only be posting my left titty which is my boy titty, and not the right one which is the horrid unclean girl titty, this is as tumblr has decreed
Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying “I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store.” The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen’s face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.
You ever think about how weird hippos are ecologically speaking?
There’s literally no other megafauna on earth that spends the entire day lounging around in water, mostly just socializing, only to come onto land to feed at night.
I remember when I used to do education programs on hippos, most people assumed they ate aquatic plants, and that that’s the whole reason they were in water. Meanwhile, hippos are basically just giant nocturnal cows that eat only grass.
most animals that start adapting to live more of their lives in water:
“i must grow my bones lighter and less dense so that i don’t get trapped on the bottom and may float easier in this new environment”
hippos: “denser. heavier bones. MOAR dense. Make sink the most.”
mother nature: but how will you get off the bottom when you sink?
hippos: Make muscles more too, give all muscle.
mother nature: and to stay warm in the water? a big layer of fat?
hippos: no! no fat only muscle.
mother nature: o….kay. And, you eat aquatic plants, that’s why you spend so much time in the water?
hippos: lol no. eat land grass, like cow.
mother nature: i see. right. You eat mostly grass, so, flat grinding teeth?
hippos: hell no. big spike teeth. sharp big teeth. Biggest
mother nature: what, like lions? 3 inch fangs?
hippos: course not. giant fuck-off teeth, 18 inches. Also, not just one pair, three pairs of giant sharp teeth. give
mother nature: but you eat… grass?
hippos: yeah. lol. Sometimes eat a zebra tho. Or a antelope. Maybe eat a crocodile, you don’t know. Give all teeth, giant fuck-off teeth. Most bone! most muscle! most teeth! Me.
mother nature: y'know what? fuck it, sure, here you go
hippo: …
hippo: i’m very angry now
so idk about layers, and they are not all the same size, but they have three pairs of large sharp teeth on each side of their mouth, or you could say six pairs of …? anyway they have a bunch of molars you can barely see through the gums, and then they have these teeth:
looks like this in the mouth
so those are their, yeah i guess actually six pair of giant fuck-off teeth
I don’t have time to draw it right now but while driving home from the winco I saw a happy mustached man pedaling a bike, towing a cart built to look like a chariot, inside of which stood what I can only imagine was his completely expressionless 13 year old in a makeshift corinthian helmet

What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?
Partial transformation - mummy rot is slowly turning you to sand, a near miss from a medusa left you with partially stoned body parts, etc.
Hypnotic suggestions from being mind controlled persist after the controller’s death, causing the victim to occasionally take actions to support the cause of a mind flayer cult that no longer exists.
Repeated demonic possession has left the patient with permanent gaps in their soul’s defenses, causing them to immediately get re-possessed if they go outside a consecrated area.
Post-resurrection trauma as the revived soul remembers an unpleasant afterlife.
Magical healing can get very weird if something is stuck in the wound. It’ll get you back on your feet, but you can get outcomes like “there’s a chunk of wood fused into your chest because the magic couldn’t figure out how to get the arrow out of your chest and just healed it in place,” and this can cause mobility issues or infection vectors down the line.
SHealth tied to something else - the health of a tree, the amount of frost on the ground, the inverse of another person’s, the political power of whoever cursed you
Curse of bad luck - makes any small illness or injury potentially fatal if not treated with anti-curse in addition to anti-infection procedures
Magical reliance on a magical or nonmagical substance - can have any number of side effects
Repeatedly being drunk by vampires can cause an increase in blood production and therefore high blood pressure and related ailments. Can be treated by blood letting.
There’s a lot of hybridization happening in a lot of fantasy settings, and that’s just asking for a lot of people with weird half-dragon genetic disorders. Works out fine for some people, not so much for others.
Parasitized by (insert creature here). If you don’t take the correct precautions to keep it dormant it will continue to spread and eventually hatch out/transform you.
Repeated contact with the undead has left you open to their influence - leading to hearing or seeing things that other mortals can’t, which can distort or distract from more mundane concerns.
Alternately to being more vulnerable to intrusion, one’s soul can form a scar that makes helpful magic more difficult to take in.
Sleep disorders that make one fall into an impenetrable sleep at a specific trigger, or to do so for years at a time.
Out of phase with 4D space, one’s body not connected to itself or anchored in place/time in the usual way. There could be a consistent two hour gap between the things you hear and what has happened, you might clip into the floor as if it was in a different place for you, or you might slide through the material plane in cross section.
Intermittent intangibility.
Split into two people, each with only half your traits.
Stuck in a mirror.
Sensitivity to ambient magic - like the thing where peoples’ joints ache before a storm but for being near ley lines or people with a lot of magic built up or other magic reservoirs. - The potential for magic, but where the magic has not yet begun.
Heal spell dependency: years of repeated serious injuries being healed by magic causes the body to stop healing naturally. seen often in professional fighters and those with a long career in hazardous occupations.
the forgotten dread: memory modification magic has caused the subject’s conscious mind to forget some past trauma, but their subconscious still remembers, causing them emotions that they cannot explain or justify ranging from mild discomfort to blind panic when presented with triggers related to the aforementioned trauma. often encountered in cases where the subject has paid an unscrupulous mage to make them forget their past as an ill-advised alternative to therapy.
Psychically Transmitted Memories: the subject’s mind has been linked to another person’s and, although the bond has since been severed, they have retained memories or thought patterns from the other person that are difficult to distinguish from their own.
Negative Life Syndrome (previously “False Life Syndrome”): seen most often in cases when the subject is exposed to dark magic while in the womb, Negative Life Syndrome leaves the subject’s life energies tainted by undeath without making them truly undead. common symptoms include intolerance of radiant magic, aversion to sunlight, and the inability to set foot on hallowed ground; rare symptoms include healing from negative energies, sudden necrosis, and the desire to eat flesh or drink blood of living beings.
lycanthropy
Early Life Possessions: the subject was possessed by a spirit or demon during early childhood or infancy, and the possessing presence was in control of them when they learned important milestones, such as how to walk or speak. The subject is now dependant upon the possessing presence to help them perform these tasks or, in cases where the presence has since been exorcised, performs the relevant tasks at a level appropriate for an infant or small child.
Body requires nutrients not found in human food, and you must eat rocks, or gems, or some other alternative. You may or may not have the ability to actually digest these without magical assistance
Awareness of too many dimensions makes it difficult to interact with just this one - either to keep track of conversations, or walk to specific locations without ending up on another planet instead
Telekinetic psychosis - delusions tend to physically affect those around you (but HIGH chance for ableism in this one!)
you have flare-ups where your skin tends to slough off and be replaced by some other substance
After sharing life energy with a dying loved one, you’re now both trying to survive off one person’s supply. Like chronic fatigue, but if your loved one gets too big of a bruise you won’t have the energy to get up until it heals
living in reverse
stuck at a certain age
supersenses lead to constant overstimulation
you’re a changeling, and if you don’t have someone who loves you close by, you’ll turn back into sticks and mud
The year is 2551; fantasy writers have started highly romanticizing the 90s~early 2000s(much like how most fantasy novels today are written in a medieval setting)when technology was still primitive. You’re a writer who decides to cash in on this trend, but your knowledge on the era is…limited.
“Okay, so I think I want the main character to find an old audio file of a warning message left by a dead person. But their computers at the time didn’t process audio files did they?” I said to my college professor. She’s an expert on the 1990s.
“Well their computers could process audio but it took a really long time. They didn’t quite have mp3 technology perfected yet, and even then that became outdated shortly after. Maybe your character could find an old tape.”
“Tape?? Like, the sticky stuff?”
“No, no, a cassette tape. It was a little plastic block with a plastic film that had the music on it. To be truthful, we aren’t exactly certain how it worked. But the tapes had to be played in a boom box or a Walkman in order to be heard.”
“I don’t know what any of that means.”
“Well, a book box is a giant radio. It has loud speakers. The cool kids would hold them on their shoulders. Some say that was more prominent in the 1980s, but it was prevalent in the following decade as well.”
“… what’s a radio?”
“Oh, yeah, I forgot this was before wifi and streaming technologies. Those didn’t really become the norm until the 2010s decade, like right before the first pandemic.” The professor took a sip of her tea. “So radio was a profound thing that was invented in the early 1900s. It’s the first technology that even remotely resembles the streaming services we have today. A radio station would broadcast a live show or recorded music, but it was all sound, no picture.”
“Okay, so my character finds a cassette tape and then has to find a radio to play it, got it.”
“Or a Walkman.”
“What’s a Walkman?”
“The first portable tape player. It was still quite large compared to what we have now, but it was relatively smaller and kids would wear them on their belt, plug their headphones in and jam to whatever was on the tape.”
“… PLUG the headphones in?”
“Oh yeah, headphones and earbuds predated the first AirPods and other Bluetooth products. They had cords that had to be physically plugged into the Walkman. This was about 50-70 years before Apple bought Microsoft and started implanting the sound chips into our heads. In fact, cordless stuff didn’t become common until after the first pandemic, and our society didn’t go completely cordless until 2150.”
“Okay, so where would my character be likely to find a cassette tape?”
“That would be hard. If it wasn’t preserved in a museum, then it would’ve had to be somewhere that was never touched. Maybe an abandoned home or someplace super haunted? But even then, the home would’ve had to have been abandoned in the ‘90s for that to work. And the tape may not have preserved well enough to hear.”
“Would it be likely my character could find the tape and boom box in the same place?”
“I suppose if you set it up that way, they could be found in the same place. Your character could even find the tape already in the boom box. They’d just have to hit the play button.”
“Did the play buttons have the sideways triangle symbol on them like they do now?”
“Yes. But it was an actual, physical plastic button that clicked when you pushed it. It’s not virtual like it is now.”
“This is such a foreign concept. Maybe I should try writing about something else.”
This was awesome, but when you said “first pandemic” I gave an involuntary shutter. (Hopefully the strategies we’ve learned will reduce the damage of the future pandemics)
And then when you said ‘Apple bought Microsoft’ I knew this was a true dystopia
texas is funny. this one time a guy(in his truck) yelled at me(outside)(in summer) for wearing a cowboy hat(to provide shade)(while working)(in the sun) while i was working in the garden (in summer)(in texas)(on a sunny day)
sorry i’m a #FakeCowboy for wearing a cowboy hat(in the summer)(in the sun)(while working)(in a garden) instead of wearing my cowboy hat(meant for working)(in the sun) while driving a truck(air-conditioned) like a #RealCowboy who does Manly Work (with his truck)(spotless)(unblemished)(with AC)
does someone have this post. i need to see it again

God, even when they exist, I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve seen those services cut for lack of funding, turn out to be abuse schemes by some religious group, be in conflict with a law that means they can’t actually help anyone…
his name is redd white and he runs a company named bluecorp we dont ask questions here
if you mix redd white and bluecorp together like paint you’d get a light purple or pink depending on ratios. we’re just not on his level. we never will be.
His hair is purple which is red and blue
His suit is pink which is red and white
And his jewels are light blue which is blue and white.
his shirt is beige there’s something going on
he’s a murderer also I think that’s worth mentioning
This needs to be added though this post is so damn old
his friends call him WHITE BOY
not to mess everything up like a stupid language nerd, but, as a spanish speaker…. they would call him white boy if it was NINO BLANCO, if it was BLANCO NINO, they would call him Boy White :3
This feels like a joke they would make in aan ace attorney game

Forget the wash before wash after using the bathroom dichotomy, tell me whether cafés see you and insist you pay first or are comfortable letting you pay after
I just turned 43, but I have to say, trying to figure out what Skibidi Toilet was, made me feel much older.
It’s basically a bunch of 14 year olds (and younger) who have had their first taste of surrealist content and because it is so novel to them, they can’t get enough of it. And it has become extremely popular.
It has a perfect storm of features built in to appeal to that age group. First and foremost, their parents don’t get it. It frustrates older people. But it isn’t objectionable enough for parents to put their foot down and say they can’t watch it for arbitrary moral conflicts. It’s like Baby Shark for tweens.
And so these young people get to truly explore what weirdness is. How it makes them feel. And it gets to be… just theirs. They get to claim ownership of it and have this community surrealist experience together and then laugh at their parents because they’re all, “Okay, but why is the head in a toilet?”
Kids are exploring the limits of their imagination and finding the wonders of surrealism… in the most infuriating-to-parents way possible.
A tale as old as time.
I’m betting there were some caveparents thousands of years ago looking at doodles on the cave walls and just shaking their head.
