Imagine. Long ago you followed a silly star wars blog that went dead in early 2017. Now, four years later, the blog owner is back. After The Great Tumblr Purge I have returned to give you a simple message: 

I’m back on my Star Wars bullshit and you can find me actively shitposting on twitter @atli__. 

I’m writing a Din/Cassian fic here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30560693/chapters/75378239 

Peep my Linktree for my Etsy and other various socials: https://linktr.ee/Shippymans

That is all, thx

#Am i back on tumblr? who is to say#tempted to leave this all exactly how it is so its well preserved#crack it open like a geode every now and again#a time capsule if you will

honestly fuckin “lovecraft inspired” games are everywhere and in every genre except the one they really need to be in

farming sims

like nothing says lovecraft like being aware of cosmic terror in your town and being unable to do anything about it so you sort of just tend to your radishes and hope everything turns out okay but you pull up one of your radishes and there’s a human head at the base of the stalk and you drop it as soon as you make eye contact with it but once you go to pick it up again it’s a normal radish

a few fun octopus facts:

  • their arms are similar to our tongues in that their muscle fibers are  oriented in three different directions 
  • octopuses are disconcertingly strong (anecdotal evidence says that a 15 inch wide octopus was as strong as the scientist handling it)
  • on that note that same scientist said that when her octopuses escaped she would have to run behind them, “like cats” (paraphrased from sy montgomery’s the soul of an octopus)
  • aquariums have “octopus enriching programs” so they don’t get bored and fuck shit up in their tanks
  • they are crazy smart like. really. really fucking smart 
  • but we can’t compare their intelligence to ours because our evolution branched from the same common ancestor so long ago we cannot comprehend how they think
  • it’s believed that their intelligence evolved when they lost their shell, and had to adapt to predict how countless of different prey and predators would act, how to avoid them, distract them, lure them or trick them 
  • they visualize how other creatures are going to act, which means they have have awareness that others are individuals which is a type of consciousness but i can’t remember what it’s called right now 
  • like, they use tools 
  • they have distinct personalities 
  • aquarium octopuses are socialized from a very young age and even though in the wild they are solitary creatures they become extremely friendly with enough human exposure
  • sometimes they dislike people for no apparent reason and will shoot water at them
  • they have three hearts 
  • each of their arms has a tiny brain that controls movement and sensory input on its own i shit you not
  • they are color blind and yet they can camouflage their color and nobody knows how 
  • they can change the color and texture of their skin faster than human eyes can keep up with it
  • great pacific octopuses are white when they are peaceful, and red when they’re excited 
  • aquarium octopus have escaped their tanks and slithered down pipes into the ocean 
  • escaped their tanks to eat the fish in other tanks 
  • escaped their tanks to go fight other octopuses cuz they were bored
  • octopus fight club
  • learned how to take photographs
  • cost thousands of dollars by flooding new floors
  • they can feel, taste, and smell with their suckers and all of their skin
  • they enjoy tasting their food by slowly moving it through their suckers instead of shoving it in their beaks
  • they can rewrite their rna. no, really
  • the only reason why they haven’t evolved to take over as the next dominant race is because they’re doing pretty well  in the ocean so there’s no need for them to adapt further 
  • there’s a ton more but i’m so overwhelmed by love i can’ think of any at the moment i’m going to cry
  • read the soul of an octopus by sy mongomery no she didn’t pay me i just love octopuses so much

Also:

  • learned to shoot out the annoying light over the tank
  • hid in floor drains when caught out of their tanks by researchers
  • hid the shells of crabs stolen from a tank under a third, unrelated tank

Sy is a wonderful human and a great researcher. NEAq actually named a GPO after her in honor of all her work on octopuses. (Or octopi, or octopodes - they’re all correct). Definitely read that book.

i feel like im never gonna like old dad corvo in dishonored 2 as much as i loved awkward goth corvo in dishonored. it just doesnt compare. nothing will ever compete with corvo “attended a costume party dressed as myself and looked at everyone ominously also pickpocketed some guests” “i eat rats” “there is an old powerful assassin man out there who really regrets ruining my life and who also has a really weird crush on me” “the outsider also has a crush on me” “pendleton also has a crush on me” “martin also has a crush on me” “i love eating rotten apples and other garbage; it heals me” “i wear pieces of bones on my chest” “i want people to stop throwing rocks at me” attano
