favourite thing about overwatch is still how hanzo killed genji and regretted it like immediately and just single-handedly dismantled the whole organisation that made him kill genji in the first place and completely upended his whole life in this big quest for redemption and forgiveness and he goes to genji’s grave every year on the anniversary of his death to pay respects and it’s like we get it you super regret killing genji and then he goes back to genji’s shrine to cry or whatever and then genji shows up and reveals he’s still alive and hanzo tries to kill him again

Why does this potato have legs?

what if vampires aren't affected by the sun they all just heard the stories and decided not to push their luck

An elephant casually stealing and then returning a wildlife photographer’s hat 

(Source)

He doesn’t just steal it though. He puts it on his own head. He takes it, tries it on, looks around (I swear like he’s going “Look look I’m a Human! Don’t I look good in my Human head-thing?”) then gives it back. There is so much playful and good-natured intelligence in this one gesture I’m losing my mind here. Elephants are too freaking good for us. 

This is a very small thing but that means, to an elephant, the top of their head is where they put the hat. That is not what I’d consider the top of their head lol.

They’re placing the hat right over their eyes, like how we wear them

writing a cover letter is just like: here is my worksona she has no mental illnesses and hates breaks! i would like to larp her for 40 hours a week with full pay and benefits

Okay but

Nobody:

Not a soul:

Legolas, vibrating: Yes I like him the normal amount

Diver convince octopus to trade his plastic cup for a seashell

imagine if a fuckin……. giant alien just showed up and stuck a huge hand in front of your face and then proceeded to offer you three different houses and wouldn’t stop until you moved out of your old shitty apartment and then helped you fuckin move

and then just left

This is an excellent example of thermal blackbody radiation. I especially love when they squeeze it the second time, and you can see it blowing out high energy radiation in the visible spectra. Somewhere between electric arcs and lightbulbs blowing out.

This sparks were radiation?!

follow up question: why the FUCK are they so close to that

Radiation doesn't unilaterally mean "murdering you" radiation.

Heat, the visible spectrum of light, and radio waves are also forme radiation. The radiation you're thinking of is ionizing radiation. Beta, alpha, gamma, and x-rays.

They're probably close because the type of radiation they're dealing with is non-ionizing radiation and in this case specifically probably light and infrared

I was getting pretty fed up with links and generators with very general and overused weapons and superpowers and what have you for characters so:

Here is a page for premodern weapons, broken down into a ton of subcategories, with the weapon’s region of origin. 

Here is a page of medieval weapons.

Here is a page of just about every conceived superpower.

Here is a page for legendary creatures and their regions of origin.

Here are some gemstones.

Here is a bunch of Greek legends, including monsters, gods, nymphs, heroes, and so on. 

Here is a website with a ton of (legally attained, don’t worry) information about the black market.

Here is a website with information about forensic science and cases of death. Discretion advised. 

Here is every religion in the world. 

Here is every language in the world.

Here are methods of torture. Discretion advised.

Here are descriptions of the various methods used for the death penalty. Discretion advised.

Here are poisonous plants.

Here are plants in general.

Feel free to add more to this!

An exceedingly useful list of lists for writers.

This is super useful peeps. Share and share alike!

Good evening transformers Tumblr please look at this Twitter comment on Alex Milne’s commission art. I’ve been reeling for ten whole minutes

king minos: get this monster out of my sight!! put it in a labryinth so i never have to look at it again!! gods holy fuck!!!

the minotaur, born like a day ago:

my hand slipped

when we try to befriend cats we mimic their meows and get down on the ground to their level and try to gently coax them to interact with us right

that horrifying entity mimicking human noises at us maybe just thinks we’re cool and wants to pet us?

had to draw it

i, and i can’t emphasize this enough, would literally die for merlin

perfect!!!!!

I love him

*consults the cards to find what the coming year holds*

*draws the Seven of Swords, the Jack of Diamonds, Miss a Turn, a bus pass, and an inverted foil Pikachu*

Too many ideas too little time, yet steady the work goes, lost opportunities, well tread paths, a distinct lack of energy. 

Well the years start coming and they don’t stop coming

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

Didn’t make sense not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see

So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?

You’ll never know if you don’t go

You’ll never shine if you don’t glow
