With April 8 coming up I feel the need to remind you all to NOT buy weird plants during the eclipse.

Sigh. Well, if you must, make sure they’re not from an old Chinese man in the wholesale flower district.

This is actually very normal human behavior. It's just that most people (in the USA) think "Jesus strengthens me" instead of "I am a pikmin, dandori time"

This is literally why stories and fantasy are so useful to humans. We cannot tackle every mundane challenge with enthusiasm, and facing against profoundly daunting tasks can be deeply demoralizing, and you don’t get to feel cool or heroic for filing 400 pieces of paperwork.

We arm ourselves with stories and fantasy, so that the laundry can become a charming hurdle to overcome, and the daunting stack of bills is the leviathan we the brave knights must slay.

Humans have always been like this. So many cultures have stories or mythology or even rituals about literally embodying another being better suited to the challenge one currently faces.

Stories are armor. Stories are fuel.

The remake reboot prequel sequel industrial complex is killing me but the good thing is I don't have to watch any of that. I can just think "that sounds boring or otherwise doesn't interest me in any way" and do something other than watch it

"They're making a willy wonka origin story with timothee chalamet," you might say to me. "They're doing a live action the last airbender again, didn't you love avatar?" I don't find it necessary. This is nothing to me

In the movie Father Karras is suffering a crisis of faith because his mother has died (or is dying, it’s been a while since I watched the film) and he has a dream where he sees her coming up out of the subway and there’s also a very brief shot of a demons face, the same demon possessing the little girl that he’s trying to help.

I can’t be 100% but I think this might be confirmation that Sister is going to die???

Copia… I’m not sure about… father Karras dies in the movie but he also becomes possessed by a demon at the end of the film so I’m not sure what to take away from this…

JAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJ OMG i need to watch it and try to see what tobias is up to with this whole thing AAHHHHH

Anyone up for a watch party??? lmao 😅🙈

A small, tube-shaped stone container discovered in Iran seems to have once encased a bright red pigment similar to lipstick. Analysis of traces left inside the container show ingredients that are remarkably close to the ingredients in lip pigments used today. It is, scientists say, probably the earliest known example of the use of lip paint by humans. The ancient lipstick appears indicative of a culture advanced enough for the knowledge of metallurgy and chemistry required to develop such innovations.

these tags are so incredible

A screenshot of a post from the vexillologycirclejerk subreddit. OP is boltzmannman.

The title is "trans flag but gender is fluid and the fluid density is determined by color saturation an the mixture had been left to sit for a few hours".

The body is a picture of the trans flag, arranged by colour saturation - a single white stripe at the top, a double width pink stripe and a double width blue stripe at the bottom .

Tumblr tags reading "they emulsified my fucking gender fluid (sad face)" and "the gender fluid has fallen out of gender suspension / get the gender blender"

I'm a big fan of hurt/comfort tropes where the hurt is ongoing and escalating. Characters trying to cope with their situation and insisting that it's fine, they're fine, even as things get worse and worse and worse - especially if no one around them knows what they're going through.

Characters hiding their illness, even as they grow sicker and sicker. Characters trying to cope as their homelife becomes increasingly abusive or neglectful. Characters ignoring their injuries, only for them to become infected. Characters being stalked/ tormented by a villain and pretending that everything is fine, even as the villain continues escalating. Characters left homeless as winter approaches and their money dwindles.

I could go on. There's something very satisfying about seeing a character frantically trying to pretend like everything is okay until eventually they can't hide it anymore and get caught (and helped) by the people around them.
