“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma

and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND

I didn’t know about zeugmas until just now! That is so awesome, everybody: 

zeug·ma ˈzo͞oɡmə/

noun

  1. a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g.,John and his license expired last week ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g., with weeping eyes and hearts ).

ISN’T THAT AWESOME??

One I’ve loved was “on their weekend trip they caught three fish and a cold”

I love these they’re like a pun and a metaphor wrapped up into one neat phrase

I'm sorry if this is seems as rude, but there is actually a very good explanation for this, tasers are only meant to stun you and don't actually cause any long term damage, this happens because tasers only shock you for a very short and controled period of time, and because of that they can have higher voltages, they also need higher voltages to be able to go through skin and clothes to hit muscle. The number you see in wikipedia, 100-250 volts, yes is capable of killing a person but that is because this shock, which usually happens from touching power outlets, happens for an indefinite ammount of time, and is thus able to reach deeper in your body, namely brain and heart, and so can easily kill. Basically taser can have non-lethal higher voltages because the electric discharg they emmit is veeeeery controled, and so they only present a danger to people with pre-existing conditions, other electric discharges on the on the other hand will fuck you up at lower voltages because they can run freely through your body for way longer than the taser energy will.

I hope that explains why nightwing has an actually very reasonable voltage in his escrima (I do feel the need to clarify that this voltage can still kill but much much harder to do that)

imagine if doorways grew back like scabbed over with fresh drywall and you had to keep carving them back out with a jabsaw to keep the doorway clear etc

Imagine if the membranes recoiled in pain every time you did this. Imagine if over time, some doorways became accustomed sensation. Imagine that very rarely, some even seemed to enjoy it.

*sleepover host voice* imagine if you two went to sleep

Oh for gods sake kids it’s like piercing an ear - that’s why you put a doorframe in - you don’t hang a door in drywall, you gremlins. You frame the door. It’s like those gauges that people put in their ears - the hole stays. It won’t scab over with a doorframe in it. You’ve lived around doors you whole life, you little clowns. Lights out

I have used these pens!  They are, indeed, awesome.  Very good for drawing outlines and then using watercolors over.  One of these, a water brush, and a tiny set of watercolor pans and you have an awesomely portable art kit.  Like so (though that one has a different black brush pen).

Crane Wives songs will be like *folk guitar intro* ooowoahhhhhhhh ooowaoahhhhh. I am a wolf in the river. I am worried that I'm too volatile to ever be in a stable relationship. *guitar interlude with some percussion now* ooowoahhhhhhhh ooowaoahhhhh. There is ash in my hair. I am so tired all the time. I think I'm a bad person.

This is modern art. The tragedy and hopelessness is perfectly encapsulated in your lack of a choice. Were you in his place, you would do no different. Because the gods have deemed it so, because fate is stronger than you. I’m usually not a big art person but holy shit
