With the new fankids you got I immediately thought Morgan meeting their future selves and asking "who's kids are you babysitting?" And being devastated by the answer they get
It’s funny how sacabambaspis is like the funniest looking animal in every hypothetical except for that one picture that makes me feel like I’m about to be killed

Sooooo few people are actually willing to defend the basic human rights of people who have committed crimes. Like I know it’s not fun but if you genuinely believe in human rights as a concept you can’t be okay with the state violating them in prisons I’m sorrrrry. Having moral principles is not always a fun time.
the pope dying on Easter Monday would’ve gone hard back in the day. full on embroidered carpets, bible revisions, and martyr/devil implications hard. sigh
i like to think i’m secretly in a tv show or book so everytime im on the verge of breaking down some 14 year old on tumblr is going “ohh the blorbo… blorbo having a bad time 2day:(“
well personally i like it when there’s incest and necrophilia and murder and cannibalism and abuse and torture and gore and mutilation and body horror and sexual depravity and death.
Vikings didn’t have horns on their helmets but I bet if you showed them a single modern Viking depiction they’d all start doing it like gangsters imitating The Godfather
I took a Norwegian to the Norwegian pavilion at Epcot one time and she immediately bought a horned viking helmet and refused to take it off the whole trip.
Rough scene storyboards that I do not have the motivation to clean up so I’m dumping them here. Still not feeling good about my art lately I can’t even get past the sketchy phase anymore lmao
The Bad Guys: “Marginalization and negative stereotypes of people often forces them into harmful, dangerous ways of life, which is reinforced by police brutality and oppression, and the rich and powerful pay shallow lip service to the idea of reformation for their own personal gain.”
The Bad Guys 2: “People who have criminal pasts face workplace discrimination that prevents them from living honest lives, which forces them back into the very same crimes that they wanted to move on from and reinforces biases against them.”
Hey uh I wonder if there’s a pattern to these films’ messages or something.
cop donut stereotype is bad because being fat and eating many donuts : hot. but police officers: not hot. the humble donut, one of the most sexual foods, the reliable donut. we should take this practice and give it to a different more sexy profession, such as electrician, or professor of linguistics
an online self-describing ‘tradcath’ in ~250 A.D. in Dura-Europos, Syria: guys the church has gone woke. they have drawn Our Good Shepherd in a vulgar, pagan manner. they literally painted Orpheus in the style of the hellenistic frescoes and thought we wouldn’t notice. this is sacrilege AND satan worship. we are living in the end times.
Perhaps one of the biggest fish tragedies of all time is that tunas, the large, fast, powerful apex predators of the open ocean that have evolved to be perfectly hydrodynamic thanks to millions of years of evolution, with fins that can be retracted into grooves in the body for maximum smoothness, which can heat up their swimming muscles and brains and eyes to become even more efficient hunters, who are in fact several species of fish, the largest of which (Atlantic bluefin) can reach four meters in length and rivals the marlins in being the largest perciform fish…..
….are just kinda known as a food item by most people. Like cod, this animal should be a symbol of raw power and speed, not fish dinner time
Yeah !! I don’t think it’s all too fair to the tuna that the eating thing is what they’re known for first and foremost, most of the time the only thing they’re known for. I mean, people eat horses, but horses are also known for lots of other things, they are a symbol of agility and speed and strength, and they’re known for being used for work and for leisure, and sometimes they’re fragile and anxious. People eat reindeer but there’s also the Santa Claus aspect and major cultural aspects. Similarly the tuna simply deserves more than what she’s getting </3 A deadly angel of the ocean and her capabilities are underestimated time and time again.
Oh and you’re welcome, I love talking about fish :)
Ooooh, now I also wanna learn about cod!
Oh no, this is a little bit embarrassing, “like cod” is literally just a version of “like god”, as in, “like, god/gosh!!!!” when you’re really frustrated about something. I say “oh cod/by cod” and other variations because fish pun. I don’t sadly have any cool cod facts ^^’
One of my all time biggest pet peeves with historical(ish) fantasy is when the writer constructs a religion with a clear bias that it’s stupid and false and therefore only the Stupid People and/or commoners believe in it and all the smart/elite main characters are like, quasi-atheists or otherwise just routinely flout established religious conventions of orthodoxy and/or orthopraxy because they’re Too Smart for it or etc.
It’s usually an extension of assumptions that people in the past were just less intelligent than in the contemporary, just being like “I know that the sun is a star millions of miles away that the earth orbits, but this ancient religion describes it as a chariot flying through the sky” and not really bothering to learn the context and just (consciously or subconsciously) settling on ‘that’s a crazy thing to think and was probably believed in because they were Stupid’.
And that whole attitude pisses me off so much. People were as 'smart’ 10,000 years ago as they are today. These beliefs aren’t just desperate, random flailing to explain phenomena that could not directly be accounted for either, it’s not like people just looked at the sun and went “Uhhh I don’t know what the fuck that thing is, actually. I guess it might be a chariot or a boat or something?? Yeah let’s go with that.” and based entire religious practices on this. Every well-established belief system exists within broader contexts of cultural values/subjective perceptions of reality/knowledge systems/etc, and exist as part of a historical continuum of religious practices that came before. Even when not Materially Correct, they have context and internal logic, they’re not always dead literal with zero levels of allegory, and they’re never a result of stupidity.
i was irritated as FUCK when i had to make a lowes run yesterday mid-project when it was pouring down rain, but i found out when i got home that the power had gone out briefly while i was gone
so if i hadn’t needed to run an errand, i would have been alone in the room of my basement with no windows and the staircase to nowhere when it all went pitch black
and tbh? i think the fright might actually have killed me
just imagine it being completely dark and you just know that this
is in the room with you
I may be an atheist, but I think the Bible is a good addition to that space…
