“I could fix him” well I could turn him into a flea, a harmless little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box and then I’ll put that box inside of another box and I’ll mail that box to myself and when it arrives AHAHAHA I’ll smash it with a hammer!!!

Absolutely a sucker for the “ARE YOU HURT” once over. The wandering hands, frantically checking for blood or pain just SOMETHING. ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of what they might find while searching. The panicked look on the face of the person doing the checking, the glossy, confused “I’m fine” from the person being checked. HOO BOY just inject that shit right into my veins

Zombie setting where the undead are drawn towards unhygienic scents, so survivors constantly bathe to avoid being eaten.

  • Zombies are docile when adorned with flowers.
  • Settlements overgrown with herbs and flora.
  • Barely any banditry; everyone is focused on farming and gathering.
  • Different human factions and towns named after flowers like Lilies, Orchids, Roses, etc.
  • Instead of immediately killing an infected survivor, they’re given special funeral rites - the zombie is covered with flowers to keep them calm, and  allowed to walk out from the settlement to join the hordes.

me to zombies:

Thank you all for the responses!!!! I got a few more notes to share from folks asking me about this setting :D

  • It’s incredibly risky to attack zombies. The scent of the attacker’s aggressive intent coupled with spilled pungent rotten blood drives other zombies into a frenzy.
  • Zombies given funeral rites grow flowers within their bodies, eventually bursting from their chest and head area. These zombies are naturally gentle and their presence tames other zombies in the vicinity. Due to their helpfulness, it’s taboo to harm “blooming” undead:
  • Sweaty summers are the worst and everyone hopes they have enough dried flowers to last the winter. 
  • It’s a colourful apocalypse! An overabundance of flowers in the world leads to plenty of dyes and busy little honey bees!! Scented candles are a thriving export.
  • Survivors who help spread flowers, look after “blooming” undead, cull the hordes, and herd zombies away from safe areas are affectionately called Florists.
  • Regular weapons such as guns and knives are still used but everyone prefers perfumed water guns, spray bottles, and incense.
  • Zombies are so overwhelmed by the pleasant scent of rain that entire hordes cease movement until it’s gone.

if i ever met satan the first thing i would say is “did it hurt…when you fell from heaven??” It would be hilarious. The next thing I would do is probably burst into flame and get impaled dozens of times but it would still be hilarious

Uh yeah holy shit remember on deviantart when you were talking to people you could insert reaction pics into your messages because you could at people so that you can see their icon and people made accounts for different reaction pics and you would post them into your comments by going like :iconragefaceplz: and it was extremely specific the amount of :iconplz: accounts were infinite? What I’m describing is very specific and was a huge part of da culture

It’s 2018 and I still have no clue how CDs work. It’s a shiny disc, how do they get data on that, let alone that much?? Magic

Like a vinyl disc, where a physical groove is marked into the vinyl, a laser marks the ink of a CD in a similar manner. A laser (your disc drive) can then look at the pattern in the ink and understand it.

There’s no grooves on a CD tho???

They’re just really tiny, hence the laser. The smaller grooves means that more info can fit on a disc of the same size.

Man how the fuck did they figure out how to make that

well they looked at a record and said “How do we fit more information on this?” to which the reply is “Well either you make the record bigger or the grooves smaller” and making the grooves smaller is way more convenient so they say “Well how do we make the grooves smaller?” and that’s when a total madman comes out with eyes flashing and yells “WITH A LASER!”

And that’s how the CD was invented

how did they figure out how to fit information in grooves in a piece of vinyl in the first place????

probably got some ideas outta this

Fucking mad lads

yoooo that’s Clara the rhinoceros - she was towed around Europe so much in the mid 18thc. as an exotic attraction that she became like a fad and all sorts of artists drew, painted, and sculpted her (and also randomly stuck her in the bkgds of anatomical drawings)

lol, for everyone asking about the ‘void face’ woman - she’s wearing a mask called a ‘vizard’ or ‘moretta’. they originally show up in late 16thc upper class European ladies fashion. They were worn while traveling to maintain a fashionably pale complexion, but they evolved over time to become a popular component of masquerades. 

In Venice in particular, the style lingered and became popular to wear during Carnival, or as a way for upper class women to disguise their identity so they could engage in activities that might otherwise be considered improper (gambling, flirting, or just like... going about the city without a proper chaperone) 

an interesting construction note - these masks weren’t tied on. They were made with a bead or button attached inside the mask which was held between the teeth. If a wearer wanted to speak, she would have to remove the mask.
