In what world is tall muscular man not conventionally attractive
We've all been down here too long. I truly think there's a chunk of tumblr's population that can no longer survive sunlight.
women will say “hear me out” and show u a photo of pyramid head and then tumblr users will go “this is a perfectly normal man and an ice cold take”

This is my favorite line.
I have learned so many things from this.
No "show results", if you're not a fanfic writer just be patient.
I saw a post about an anon saying it was embarrasing to have an ao3 account in your 30s (it's absolutely not), so I want to do a poll and see what the age range actually is.
boop the kbity

Reblog In 5 seconds for good luck

I really need some good luck rn
I’m not sure whether I want the $100 or the baby goat; I guess I will leave it up to fate.
i dont care what i get. luck is luck mates
I'm going to preface this by saying that i am not an expert in ANY form of poetry, just an enthusiast. Also, this post is... really long. Too long? Definitely too long. Whoops! I love poetry.
If you ask most English-speaking people (or haiku-bot) what a haiku is, they would probably say that it's a form of poetry that has 3 lines, with 5, and then 7, and then 5 syllables in them. That's certainly what I was taught in school when we did our scant poetry unit, but since... idk elementary school when I learned that, I've learned that that's actually a pretty inaccurate definition of haiku. And I think that inaccurate definition is a big part of why most people (myself included until relatively recently!) think that haiku are kind of... dumb? unimpressive? simple and boring? I mean, if you can just put any words with the right number of syllables into 3 lines, what makes it special?
Well, let me get into why the 5-7-5 understanding of haiku is wrong, and also what makes haiku so special (with examples)!
Needless to say, I am HORRIFIED.
‘All that you need to know about boars can be summed up in the fact that if you wish to hunt them, you must have a specially made boar spear. This spear has a crosspiece on it to prevent the boar from charging the length of the spear, driving it all the way through his own body, to savage the human holding the other end.’
-Boar and Apples, T. Kingfisher
fuck OFF
Note that pigs are also HUGE. So, yes, they ARE slightly larger pigs.
So I grew up in the city and have never seen a pig in real life and I just googled it and WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
I thought they were like labrador sized, like, fat labradors, not mini-cows.
every time I see this post there are more people discovering how fuck off huge pigs actually are and I love it I thought this was a thing everyone knew but clearly not and I’m laughing
This is me with our Tamworth boar, a heritage breed closer to their wild cousins than the Yorkshire above. I am a fully grown, average sized human. He was a gentle sweetie who, sadly, is no longer with us. His name was Mr. Big.
FUCK OFF
Forever laffin’ at people who don’t understand how enormous, terrifying, and tenacious wild boar are.
They’re like if bears had knives protruding from their closed mouths and Didn’t Know When To Quit. Their survival instincts when they’re wounded aren’t “run away and minimize injury” it’s “take the thing that hurt you down with you” They also make sounds like someone crossed a pig with an alligator.
Their head and neck alone can be like the size of an entire human torso.
Also forever laffin’ at people who think pigs are tiny, ‘cause we designed those things can get in the neighbourhood of a thousand pounds in ideal circumstances.
It’s like when people assume Tuna must be small because they’ve only ever experienced them in hockey puck form.
Like seriously why the fuck y'all think everyone FREAKED THE HELL OUT when Dorothy fell into the pig pen in Wizard of Oz? It’s because pigs are HUGE and weigh a shitton and would crush her in an instant.
also dont they eat like, basically anything?
YUP. Pigs will eat people, if given the chance. They dgaf.
That’s why boar hunters use a team of very tenacious dogs to hold the boar so they can be speared without fucking you up. The dogs wear body armour.
I’ve heard stories of people shooting boars, and if it didn’t kill them, it just pissed them off.
how the hell did we ever domesticate these things?
…“how the hell did we ever domesticate these things?”
Very carefully, I would imagine.
WIld boar babies are rather cute, like living humbugs…
…but the adults and their ferocity have been associated with warriors for thousands of years, from Mycenaean Greece (a helmet made from sections of boar tusk)…
…through Celtic Europe (reconstructed carnyx war-horns and standards)…
…Ancient Rome (the crest of Legion 20 “Valeria Victrix”). A couple more legions also used a boar as their crest - I wonder did they squabble over which was the “right” one the way a couple of Swiss cantons had a little war over whose bear was best…?
…then Anglo-Saxon and pre-Viking helmet crests…
…right up to the late Middle Ages (here the white boar badge of Richard Duke of Gloucester, later Richard III of England)…
…and the blue boar badge of the Earl of Oxford, more usually represented by the De Vere arms, quarterly gules and or, in the first a molet argent.
After Richard was defeated at Bosworth in 1485, there was a run on blue paint as inn-signs were changed to reflect new loyalties since Oxford was on the winning side…
It gets mentioned in the movie “Snatch”, the book/movie “Hannibal” and the webcomic “Lackadaisy Cats”, among numerous other fictional sources, and IRL it’s suspected to be the reason why numerous missing persons have stayed missing.
Here’s some boar-hunting armour for dogs, ancient…
…and modern…
…and the modern one looks very like a simple style of ancient…
So when Odysseus’s old nurse recognizes him by the scar he got from the boar-tusk slash that almost killed him… now you get the resonance.
This post…it just really went places on me.
i feel like we didn’t spend long enough on the tuna
I just like looking at them all together 🥲
p l a n e t s of MASS EFFECT 1
Originally belly dancers were not supposed to be stick thin they needed to have pudge and rolls and just body because thats what makes the dancing all the movement and vibrations and rolling are supposed to be there to enhance the softness of the feminine figure.
i watch black and white (arabic) movies with belly dancers and they all look closer to this, hell if i ever find myself in a belly dancing show the serious ones will always have beautiful rolls and soft bodies, because belly dancing was never about the movements its self but about how the movements serve the body thats why mindless vigorous sexual shaking never actually looks apealing. Seriously it was an art a Performance art but then outsiders came in and saw it as purely sexual because of thier "exotic" kinks, sad.
which is why i hate it when i see foreigners dancing it without minding that its an art, cause they almost always turn it into aerobics just sharp overly done movements no thought or rhythm behind it no fun just extreme muscle control like its a sport only.
but the lovely person in the tiktok is one of the first ones i see dancing correctly just fun performance and movements that are meant to show how beautiful she and her body is (this is all in a non sexual way its like how the Statue of Aphrodite is supposed to show how beautiful the feminine body of 1000000's of women celebrating it instead of showing and overly sexualized ver. of it)
this belly dancer is honestly the perfect belly dancer in my eyes like someone in the tagsaid s tier dancer! i want to watch her for 50 hours straight cause she is doing it right the most right i've ever seen actually. (I hope this makes any kind of sense lol ) also i FUCKING love the design of the suit the colors are so pretty!!!
A thing I love to do is telling prepper dudes that one of my disaster readiness skills is making stuffed animals. They never get it. Like, my dude, when things get very bad and we're all sharing overcrowded shelters, you're gonna want the power to comfort children. Trust me.
You know what, I got a whole bunch of fabric / old clothes at home and no idea what to do with it. I might just learn how to do this too
Then you might be interested in a database with hundreds of free plushie sewing patterns of just about any animal, as well as dinosaurs, pokemon, etc: https://craftresource.fandom.com/wiki/Plushie_Sewing_Patterns
& If that's a little overwhelming, here's some easy beginners plushies: - Manta Ray https://cholyknight.com/2021/05/14/manta-ray-plush/ - Whale https://craftresource.fandom.com/wiki/Whale_Plushie_Sewing_Pattern_(Lacey) - Simple dino: https://welivedhappilyeverafter.com/diy-long-neck-dino/
and a little more chalenging but my personal favorite: - totally not that one shark from a Swedish furniture chain store that everyone loves: https://freesewing.org/docs/designs/hi
As a bit of a prepper myself any sewwing ability is a vaild skill that is essential for so many things anyone who says otherwise is objectivly wrong
Oh yeah, sewing has tons of practical survival uses. However I chose stuffed animals in this example because survival is a social thing. To survive these prepper dudes are going to have to be around a lot of people who are not their prepper buddies. And a big part of effectively doing that is just passing the time well together. Which requires earplugs and card games and things that comfort children. These are not luxuries, they're essential because they maintain the social structures that keep us alive.
#I never understand how people don't understand this#then realize that we live in societies where the essential interpersonal skills we once had to have have been eroded over the industrial re#the more we industrialized#We are losing the things that made us survive. The things that made use thrive as a species. All to convenience.
While it is true that industrialization has limited out practical understanding of what it means by the scrape by to survive, I would argue that that's a good thing. There are specific things that stop us from thriving right now - capitalism being at the top of the list - but not having to worry about our survival is a big part of what should actually allow us to thrive. Having to deal with survival is miserable and stressful. Other parts of industrialization - like global warming, colonialism, capitalism again - are horrible, but the fact that many of us (though not enough of us) have never needed to worry about access to shelter, heat, drinking water, electricity, food, clothing? That's great! If convenience means having your basic needs met: more of that please!
I think that where the gun-hoarding prepper dudes go wrong isn't the fact that they grew up in that convenient industrialized world. If they were serious about learning survival skills they could just listen to and learn from people who live in places where drinking water, food etc. are scarce. They could listen to and learn from refugees and homeless people who have to carry all they need to survive in one backpack. They're not doing that. Why?
I would argue that they never started out with a true desire to learn survival skills. They started out feeling inadequate. They started out feeling like they couldn't meet ideals of rugged masculinity. And so they decided that modernity was the problem and that they needed to return to an imagined past of rugged self-reliance and ruthless violence. But this imagined past has never existed. Living with precarity has always sucked and community has always been the best antidote against that.
