ok sure fine

this is so great i don’t think you’ll ever understand how much i love this

hello im HERE and i wanna talk about TAAKITZ

a skeleton? getting seduced by an extraplanar alien in a pointy hat? it’s more likely than u think

actually what i want to talk about is how taako is an alien. he’s an elf but he’s also an alien. yeah. he’s not like the other sun elves on this plane… his teeth are sharper. his eyes do that thing cats’ do when you happen across one in the dark. that’s not normal. he can echolocate. that’s not normal! that’s canon, babey. 

taako echolocates to find something in the quad one day and avi’s like “what the fuck” but this seems very ordinary and mundane to magnus and merle. yeah, they say. all elves can do that, right? avi’s just like what??? n. no???

taako just stands up and screams. oh, tight, there’s his magazine.

across the quad, lucretia, suddenly realizing that elves here do not echolocate, whispers “fuck" very quietly to herself. forgot to put that one in ya books, huh, luce.

OH MY GOD

I went out of order, i was too excited to draw evil old men...... and xue yang is there too i guess XD

am always obsessed when someone says to a character “call off your dog” about another character.

the phantom of the opera and the hunchback of notre dame? opposite ends of same spectrum 

And beauty and beast falls somewhere in the middle

someone do a graph

you rang?

I couldn’t resist

This is the science I’m here for

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

@holyknuckled you get it. lterally what are we here on earth for if not to occasionally impose gastropods upon unsuspecting customers. this story is delightful

@holyknuckled like that?

oh? my god???

yeah, Exactly like that

Alfred really told Bruce to shut the fuck up and stop complaining 😂

LOOK AT THE CAMEOS.

An explainer for why I don't fuck with algorithmic social media

If you give a pigeon a little button to peck that releases pigeon food, it will push the button when it's hungry.

If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food every 5 pecks, it will peck it more often.

If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food at a randomly selected, always shifting number of pecks, the pigeon will peck that fucking button all day long.

Algorithm based social media is not set up to give you the best most fun stuff all the time, it is set up to give you a bunch of stress and nothingness with a randomized reward of something that actually makes you happy, because they want you pecking that button all damn day. It is a slot machine of content, meant to keep you putting in quarters made of your time and attention till you've nothing yet.

At least if I'm having a shit day on my own Tumblr feed it's because I've made a bad choice about who to follow and I can fix it.

I understand the value of artistic liberties but what exactly is Yugio's haircut supposed to be. I've wondered this since childhood

Yes yes yes its just supposed to look interesting and cool, it's not supposed to translate into the 3D space, but if it did what would it be

As we can see above, this haircut:

Obviously this is an anime, and as other features such as eyes, ears, and legs are exaggerated I feel it is safe to interpret the length of hair as exagerrated as well.

This is a convenient assumption because otherwise, spiking shoulder-lrngth hair into seven (minimum) rigid vertical spikes would be impossible to maintain.

Assuming a real-life Yugio haircut could exist as inspiration got this style, I imagine a haircut that is either short and spiked in the back with natural bangs, or long in the back and textured with shorter bangs to frame the face. Either way, either the front is bleached, or the additional blond spikes in the back could be interpreted as highlights throughout the darker, perhaps natural hair.

Given these criteria, I have narrowed the possibilities dow to these three hair styles:

No fourth option because I'm right

So there is a definitive answer for this, according to the people I know who Cosplay Yugi/Yami of Yugioh and style wigs for it: They start with No-Bangs Bobcut , Dye it the appropriate colors but in the same pattern as "That Thing" (AKA 'White bangs") above, usually by applying sucessive layers of warm colors (yellows, then reds, then warm blacks), and then Gel into a Hyper-Karen Bob.

So it's a Red-shift-White-Bangs-Hyper-Karen-Bob cut-and-color, and that's one hell of a mouthful, so it's fine to just call it a Yugioh for short.

I think I may have a guess for this

Yugi and Atem have slightly different hair, with Atem having a more extreme version of Yugi's hair. However, it is important to note that there is likely no actual physical difference in Yugi and Atem's appearances. His close friends, before finding out Atem existed, simply noticed that Yugi seemed more confident, not that he got taller, voice changed or hair changed. So that might not be diegetic, but a difference for the audience's sake.

It's also worth noting that anime tends to exaggerate things, particularly hairstyles. So in reality, Yugi's hair may be less like this:

But more like this:

This is a bonkers haircut for a shy, quiet, goody two shoes Japanese schoolboy to have

That's cus he's goth!

He wears chokers and stuff. He's shy cus nobody talks to the weird goth kid who loves gaming.

It's actually Visual Kei, though there was definitely overlap between the goth/punk subcultures and the Visual Kei world! The author was pretty openly inspired by the Visual Kei culture of the 80's and 90's, which has many many hairstyle examples that are similar to what Yugi wears:

The show itself had many collaborations with Visual Kei performers and bands, too, so it's pretty obvious how the series takes inspiration from the culture aesthetically as well. You can see it in some of the fashion choices, too, not just the hairstyles, as well as how visual kei took cues from and overlapped with goth and punk styles as well:

It's the costume designer in me, but I always think it's important to remember and reference the period and location something was made when you're trying to figure out why it was designed the way it was, and how to realistically recreate it.

Yugioh is very obviously of its time, and that's a good thing! Take a dive into learning about the period subcultures and you'll find lots of cool things there, and a lot of insight into why your favorite things were made the way they were, too. :)

Literally every single Neuroscience guy I listen to on audiobooks and podcasts: Multitasking is a lie. You are not more efficient. You're just rapidly switching between tasks and doing all of them slower but your brain is tricking itself into thinking it's more efficient because you get a little dopamine reward when you activate the 'change task' neurons. And you're burning up way more glucose in the process, leaving you more tired with less done. STOP MULTITASKING. JUST DO ONE THING. PLEASE IT'S ONLY WORSENING YOUR ATTENTION SPAN. WE'RE BEGGING YOU, PLEA--

My ADHD: Don't listen to them, babydoll. You are sooooooo efficient and attractive. Whoop. You got an email. Whoop you got a text. Whoop you got a blog ask. WOW look at all the tabs open on this window. Do you even remember what they're all for? Better look through them and close the ones you're not using because you're soooo sexy and efficient. Whoop, email again.

Obi-Wan wears like 53 layer of robes so everyone assumes he’s kinda soft especially compared to his ‘in the prime of his youth’ former Padawan but then one day he goes shirtless to spar and he’s shredded, he has an 8 pack. Clones and Jedi alike are choking on drinks and tripping into walls. Ahsoka is covering her eyes and screaming because that’s basically her grandpa. Anakin has to throw a robe over Obi-Wan like The Birth of Venus. 

I BLAME YOU ALL

Why isn’t this in the Met or the Louve, I ask kindly.

Guys I just refreshed the site and everyone's profile pics went round

someone could probably make a "who do you think took your boobs?" edit out of this with discord making its server icons squarer

lately my kids have been playing Baby Knife, which consists of somebody acting as a baby with knife hands chasing people while going "baby knife baby knife" over and over. is this a thing or are they just insane

we have a new teacher this year who has never had kindergarten before & she rounded em all up & told em No Baby Knife and No Zombies and idk how to tell her that 1. all kindergarten recess games boil down to Give Birth And Kill Each Other and 2. the absurd vaguely inappropriate games they make up are usually better than when they try to play an Actual game like soccer

Baby Knife is straightforward. theres a baby knife. baby knife chases you. thats about it. when they try to play Real Sports every single child is playing by a different set of rules unbeknownst to the others and none of them are playing by the Actual rules. everybody is mad at everybody else and running up to tell on their colleagues for cheating every 3 minutes. this doesnt happen when they play Baby Knife

if no one's said it, it's normal. It's just Tag with flavor. Tag is boring so you gotta add imagination.

Our baby knife as kids was Raptor Tag. Raptors hunt in packs so the person who was "it" had to run around pretending to be a velociraptor and to tag people they had to actually tackle them and "eat" them for 5 full seconds (others could come to the rescue and save them in that time, but risked getting eaten too or instead if the raptor switched targets). Eaten players then became raptors, until the whole pack was teamwork-hunting the last wily or lucky kid. There were no winning survivors- the game was won as a group once everyone was a raptor.

My kindergarten played "wolves" where a pack of 4-12 children, usually all the girls, would try to chase down and "kill" the deer (usually me)

I was bulled extensively in elementary school, but 1. Mostly by my teachers and 2. Not during this, because we ALL had PBS Nature and as Deer, I was allowed to gouge, kick, bite, keep running even after being grabbed, or body-check the larger children into the picnic tables and other architecture.

You know, for realism.

In point of fact, I was usually The Deer because I was the best at evading/ not going down without a fight, whereas most boys would just start crying or tattle, which is no fun at all.

everybody is drooling for the blond guy from dungeon meshi. that guy is 100% real and I know like six of him, what you are looking for is a marine biologist

1. spends a long amount of time doing something weird far away from society

2. will not stop talking about their animal

3. has definitely eaten their animal and has strong opinions on how to cook it best

If you are into the sexy dwarf what you want is a mycologist btw
