I am a professional Sideshow and Circus performer...and all around friendly guy (Who is really awkward in person...it is terrible really). I love geeky things and am in a lot of fandoms. And I like critters. Any kind of critters I post what makes me happy or makes me think. It's all over the place. I am also a Dad...and I love giving honest, nonjudgmental dad advice.

Here’s a dinky little short film I made recently!  It’s only a minute long, so check it out if you have the time.

Big fan of the new Obvious Plant for obvious (plant) reasons

[ID: An Obvious Plant branded toy package in pink, orange and white with a realistic plastic prawn in the blister pack. Text reads "Fuck it, let's PRAY TO THE PRAWN GOD. Benevolent! No church! Visibly patrols the sky in exchange for small fish and invertebrates! Bad stuff continues to happen, maybe try worship the Prawn instead? WARNING: VENGEFUL. do not cross the prawn" end ID]
[ID: The reverse of the package, with a prawn drawing at the bottom. Text reads "THE 8 TENETS OF PRAWN GOD. 1. Nature is sacred. 2. Do no harm. 3. Ingest of the BRINE. 4. Cleanliness is prawnliness. 5. Greed corrupts. 7. The number [REDACTED] is forbidden. 8. Devoutness shall be rewarded with: (1) A RIDE ON THE PRAWN. This prawnduct is not real. Nothing is real." End ID]

Catch me being a modern-day cyberpirate screaming up alongside you on the 405 in my mad max car with half a bitcoin farm's worth of RAM in the backseat as I hack your Bitchless Towyota™ device and steal the boat you're towing right off the back bumper of the tesla your dad bought you

As i roar into the sunset you have to swerve* to avoid the small flotilla of hacked Towyota devices trailing behind me

(*in fact you do not swerve because you're on hands-free driving to go along with your hitch-free towing so you can only watch helplessly as your tesla mistakes your stolen booty for a small child and accelerates crashing into it and killing you instantly)

That sums it up.

Just because you like one doesn’t mean you’re automatically required to dislike the other.

I am a little high but what if people proposed with beautiful, intricate knives. Ladies would gather around the table and be like “guess what finally happened!!” And pull this beautiful, intricate dagger out of her purse and all the other ladies would gasp and congratulate her

Me: I’m a little high but –

Y'all rushing to that reblog button:

Because I have a tag for pretty weaponry, some knives I’d accept as proposals follow:

I said yes! 

(but, actually, hubby bought me a dive knife when we got married so this works…)

I can 100% get behind this as a new tradition.

Ok but this is amazing becuase knives are dangerous and you can use them to hurt other people but when someone proposes with one it’s symbolic like “yes I love you and trust you so much I’m asking you a very vulnerable question with something you could hurt me with but I know you won’t”

@lady-redshield-writes this seems up your alley

This isn’t just up my alley, it’s traveled all the way down the alley, through my front door, and is sitting on my couch. I love this so much.

@sparklemotion24 I know we’re doing rings but these are amazing

I’m going to take the opportunity to plug a blacksmith whose work I adore who is among the many small-business artisans and vendors whose livelihood has been slash by the pandemic. This is Iron Wolf Forge, and they make these beautiful flower daggers (and other custom work!). If anyone earlier in the notes on this with a larger following sees this and can reblog, that would be amazing <3

A + Proposal plan: Pulling one of these out of a bundle of flowers.

So I stumbled through the Barbie aisle at Walmart the other day…

…and y'all, I almost cried. Just look at these. LOOK AT THEM.

So many skin tones!

PLUS SIZED BODY TYPES!

NATURAL HAIR STYLES!!! MULTIPLE SHADES OF DARK SKIN!!!

A WOMAN AS A DOCTOR!!!!!

I’M NOT DONE, THERE IS A PHOTO LIMIT!

LOOK AT THIS PROFESSIONAL LADY!

SO MANY SKIN TONES AND BODY TYPES AND LOOK AT THAT MERMAN!!!

FRECKLES!!!

Y'all, I’m just…so so happy.

I’m 35 years old and I’ve never seen a Barbie that looked like me, and then there I am as a Barbie in a purple sweater with thick thighs and evenly proportioned boobs and pink hair and a cat.

I can only imagine how other girls must feel.

Nicely done, Mattel. Nicely done!

Mattel also just announced some new Barbie dolls who have wheelchairs or prosthetic limbs!!!

Like screw anything calling this “politically correct,” this is what the real world literally is.  And the world’s population of children is just as diverse as its adults.  Kids deserve to see themselves represented.  As a disabled person myself, I can’t tell you how much this would have meant to me as a little girl.

Human: Deal.
Fey: Very well. When you return home tonight, your mother will be in pristine health again. It will be like she never fell ill at all. Even the memory of her suffering will fade…
Human: Thank you so much. She means everything to me.
Fey: I know, I know. Let’s hope the price wasn’t too much for you after all… Only time will tell.
Human: So, when do we start?
Fey: …If I may ask you to elaborate?
Human: You said you wanted my firstborn.
Fey: Yes? And you agreed?
Human: Yeah, so, when do we start?
Fey:
Fey, blushing: Ah.

In Japan, radiation creates monsters (Godzilla) and in America radiation creates superheroes

Shockingly, it’s almost like Japan and America have very different narratives surrounding nuclear fallout. Now, if we all think very very hard, maybe someone could think of why this might be.
