*crying over fictional people*

based on that one scene from parks and rec

*places an orange just outside a fairy ring to see what comes out* science is more of an art than a science

*the orange grows legs and skitters away*

Fascinating results *places a banana in the same spot*

*clawed hand reaches out of the ether and drags it into the ring, leaving ragged claw marks in the soil as it disappears, back into the ether from whence it came*

“let’s go to the extreme.” *places a pineapple in the same spot*

Real scientists would keep putting an orange in the same spot to make sure the results are consistent before moving on to other fruits or different spots.

The only valid response to this post.

We’re working up the complexity levels of fruit until we feel there is enough evidence to support the judicious placement of a volunteer twink

You sit down, we haven’t seen what’s happened to the pineapple

#this is tumblr we’ve all seen what’s happened to the pineapple

had so much fun drawing and coloring the lingerie here!! another commission 🖤☁️

Aziraphale was such a little bastard (/affectionate) for giving Jim hot cocoa to drink when he knew his old boss's opinion on sullying the temple of his body with "gross matter."

He did the same thing with Muriel, offered them tea knowing what they probably thought of it and then amiably watched them to see what they would do with it.

He's gone rogue, people. He's corrupting Heaven one politely offered hot beverage at a time.

fuck it homebrew boop button. reblog this post to boop the person you reblogged from.

when did wei wuxian learn how to play the flute

like lwj spent years learning how to play the guqin

did wwx practice flute at some point or did he just pick it up and know how to play it by feeling where the notes go in his balls or what

WWX has trained as an accomplished musician on his way to becoming a refined cultivator skilled in the six arts. This is something gentlemen of the time learnt alongside other skills like martial arts and other disciplines.

So, WWX can most likely play a number of instruments and probably picked up the flute as a hobby on the side as it is considered more folk or common than what the snobby cultivation world would probably consider refined instruments. It is most likely a nod to his heritage and is definitely a powerful message when he uses it as his spiritual weapon.

It's the perfect instrument for him as he's battling a classist world and showing them all up in the process.

so.

i guess fanfiction wasn’t a phase….

anyway tag how old you were when you got into fanfiction, and your first fandom, and how long you’ve been stuck in the trenches with all the rest of us

You were just sucked up and abducted by a UFO. The alien inside addresses you, “Is this translator working? Listen. I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend for three days so my parents will get off my back about it.”

"We still need to buy apples!"

Or: Eri making sure Aizawa doesn't forget anything on their grocery run 🍎😌

Excuse me but am I the only one who didn’t know that the day after Kamino the media started calling All Might the “Symbol of the Dead”?!!!

The attention to detail in worldbuilding is amazing. This page on All Might's retirement is basically one of the big problems with this society that's relied on him for so long- they barely see him as human. Like the people who put up that "I Am Not Here" sign on his statue, people in this world seem to feel an entitlement to being served by a hero like All Might. They see him not as a human being doing a(n important) job, but as this superhuman, godlike being.

Even after all he's sacrificed for Japan (his life, his internal organs, his physical and mental health), it's not enough for some people. They're so used to relying on his presence that they take it for granted and even feel an entitlement to it.

When anyone brings up how catastrophic the consequences of All Might's retirement are, just because the country has a dependency on him, it makes me think that All Might was terribly misused in-universe. As a single person, while he was an extraordinary deterrent to crime, the series repeatedly makes the point that the issues that create villains were festering under the surface. Really, All Might and his "Symbol of Peace" was a forty year opportunity for the government to take advantage of suppressed crime rates to invest in long term infrastructure surrounding welfare, which would decrease the necessity of All Might over the years rather than creating a dependency.

Instead, for his forty years of saving lives, he gets flak for physically not being able to do it anymore. He gets flak for ageing like a normal person, for not being able to keep up with the demands of an incredibly physical job close to the age of sixty. Even without his injury, even heroes get old at some point.

The part I'm most bitter about is that despite all this, despite this ingratitude, All Might would still die for a stranger without question. He would die for the person who wrote this blurb. He's a man on the front lines. He's not a politician or an administrator or King of the country, responsible for the welfare of the people. But he does every single thing he can to ensure it. He does community service, he goes into active disaster zones, he fights crime. He does the immediate thing, and is criticized in-universe by people who simply don't understand that anything other than that is a waste of his sheer manpower, and the government and governing bodies are at fault for not taking advantage of his work to make the world a better place.

It all builds up to the overall idea that hero society is flawed on both ends. It's not just that heroes (like Endeavor) receive free reign and too much power, it's also the public that treats heroes as something other than human put there to serve them. The welfare of an entire country resting on the shoulders of an institution that is essentially just celebrity law enforcement.

The elephant is making those chirps because they’re excited at the noise the drum makes. Some zoos give their elephants drums or horns to play with if they noticed they like making noise/“are musically inclined”. Shanthi of the Smithsonian Zoo became an internet sensation for her compositions on the harmonica:

Day 783 of reblogging videos of elephants.

Oh my goodness, the happy elephant chirps. I was dying from the level of cuteness.

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes

and we need that! keeps us humble. 

Then I'm just like WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE AN ADULT

It goes the other way, too, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE A CHILD?!!

I'm 16, that's like, barely a child

I'm in my 30s. You are baby

I'm older than both of you in a trenchcoat.

honestly one of the best things we can do for ourselves is realize that people of different ages than us can still be the same kind of person as us. it's humbling and it gives everyone involved a sense of continuity, and it busts those stupid generational stereotypes media is so fond of.

"(...) as intensely eye-catching as always—an emperor simply couldn't look like a beggar, even if you forced him to dress like one."

There's just something about all the ways Xie Lian describes Hua Cheng. This one here is from book 3. And it's like. Xie Lian is so matter-of-fact when thinking this. There are no second thoughts, or even second intentions. Hua Cheng is pretty, he looks emperor like. Surely everyone who has eyes can see it. That's just hard cold facts.

"Hua Cheng was dressed in plain patched clothes and looked like a winsome little fisherman. Nonetheless, nothing could hide away his bright handsomeness."

Xie Lian truly appreciates Hue Cheng (from book 4)

(Bruce Wayne voice) I’m Bruce Wayne, from Gotham City, I’m participating in Nailed It! because for years I’ve tried to learn how to bake to impress my father [cuts to old pic of baby Bruce trying to whisk in a bowl, wearing a crooked chef hat, Alfred trying to help him with a really loving look on his face], and- (someone in the background yells LIAR!!) (Bruce covers his face, the background music stops) fine I lost a bet to one of my kids and they thought it would be hilarious for me to participate because I’m terrible in the kitchen [cuts to picture of grown Bruce with a pan on fire, looking absolutely frantic, sad trombone sound] [the people behind the camera laugh]

First challenge is recreating justice league cake pops, the camera zooms into Bruce who has the biggest forced smile ever on his face as he holds a cute green lantern pop.

Bruce: nailed it!

Nicole: (cackling as the camera zooms into the ugliest cake pop her eyes have ever laid on) WHAT IS THAT!

Bruce, as the camera pans into the details of the mess of a pop: personally I think it’s an accurate depiction of green lantern

The cake challenge is making a giant cake with ALL the known batvigilantes in Gotham.

Bruce: [makes a paper towel cowl and puts it over his face] Bruce: [stands behind his cake and sort of looms there] Bruce, as foppishly as possible: I’ll be being Batman. [doing the growly voice really badly] I’m Batman. Voices behind the camera: [all laugh]

Paper Towel Batman goes viral in gif form.

(Also Bruce, cutting out Nightwing’s emblem in fondant: I want the vigilantes of Gotham to know that I am making these in a manner designed to be efficient, and not in order of how much I love them. Host: That’s…nice?)

#DCU#camera guy 1: how does he know what every suit design looks like? i haven’t seen him pull one reference. camera guy 2: [shrugs]
