Hello, Greetings, and Hi!

Welcome to my blog of randomness!

This is my main blog! If you are looking for my art/Writeblr blog, please head on over to @the-down-upside-finch! That’s where I post my original work. (Don't worry, you are not obligated to follow my main blog if you follow my sideblog! I totally understand not wanting utter chaos all over your dash.)

Anyways, I'm Zéta (she/her), but you can refer to me by my username if you would prefer! I'm an artist, writer, and linguist. Proudly ace! 🖤🐘🤍💜

My queue is my main method of posting, usually at a rate of 3-5 posts per day. These posts can and will be just about anything that I find interesting! (I'll put my hashtag key down below the cut.)

Please don’t be scared to interact with me! I promise I will not attack anyone for being friendly. :}

(I also now have ANOTHER sideblog specifically for reblogging the responses to the WBW and STS asks that I send out, over at @the-olive-finch-da-riggz!)

The reason endermen don’t like it when you look at them is because they communicate telepathically with one another by locking eyes! Humans are absolutely not designed to do this so when we look at them we are accidentally projecting all of our thoughts into them at the same time and it hurts :(

But like, since the player is not of the Minecraft world, the player is just what the use to explore it, what if it’s like:

Enderman: *looks at player’s eyes*

Player: 01010010 01100001 00100000 01110010 01100001 00100000 01010010 01100001 01110011 01110000 01110101 01110100 01101001 01101110 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 01110010 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01010010 01110101 01110011 01110011 01101001 01100001 01101110 00100000 01110001 01110101 01100101 01100101 01101110 00100000 01101111 01101000 00100000 01100110 01110101 01100011 01101011 00100000 01100001 01101110 00100000 01100101 01101110 01100100 01100101 01110010 01101101 01100001 01101110

Enderman: oh ok *attacks player*

I don’t even play Minecraft but this is hilarious

There was a young man from Peru

Whose limericks stopped at line two

There once was a man from Verdun

There once was a man from the sticks Whose limericks stopped at line six. They were fine till line five Then they took quite a dive — But the problem is easy to fix If you just ignore the last line, it doesn't even follow the rhyme scheme oh god I've really lost control of this thing I'm so sorry...

There once was a man

From Cork who got limericks

And haiku confused.

There once was a man from the sticks

Who liked to compose limericks

But he failed at the sport

Because he wrote them too short

There once was a fellow named Dan, Whose poetry never would scan. When told this was so, He replied, "Yes, I know-- It's because I try to squeeze as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can."

On Tumblr did lasses and lads Their way with fail poetry had. You're having your fun But you're fooling no one - It takes skill to do something this bad.

I feel like this is another thing "history" has lied about.

These guys were plenty agile.

It is absolutely the case, and keep in mind you're watching the absolute peak level of craftsmanship that went into plate armor, this is a very late example with every joint covered by minutely articulated telescoping plate. Most plate armor throughout history just had those covered by maille, which is straight up flexible. Medieval people were smarter than people often gives them credit for, blacksmiths and armorers' craft was very respected and they understood that protection could not come at the expense of mobility for martial prowess.

also, i really want there to be more vampires and so on who, instead of speaking in a charming, cultured, but vaguely old-fashioned way because they are a 275-year-old consciousness in an undead, unaging 19-year-old body, talk in embarrassingly misapplied or outdated slang and pop culture references in a failed effort to blend in with their apparent peer group

…or who speak pretty normally most of the time, but lapse into saying stuff like “GOD’S WOUNDS, YOU CUR“ when they get upset enough

vampires who got turned 30 years ago and still say “radical”

vampires who just use WAY too much 90s slang. vampires who say “booyah” when they get too excited.

vampires who mix all slang from the past 5 centuries mercilessly within the same breath and don’t even try to stop it anymore.

Unhand me, you egg-sucking, lily-livered, jive-talking, whackadoo. Foul villain! Cur! I bite my thumb at thee, you ugly motherfucker, so hasta la bye bye, daddy-o!

Went and bought a new blender. When I got home, I found someone had sent me a late Christmas gift. It was a new blender. It was even the exact same make and model as the one I just bought.

Well I guess it's a good thing I bought another one because the one that was sent to me literally died while I was using it. It didn't even last 10 minutes.

The other one just broke.

some woman on the street below just hit an operatic high c and then screamed “i’ll fucking kick your ass”

That was the wardrobe from Beauty and the Beast

hey syd-the-avenger, this post has over 50 thousand notes. people have added on that the woman on the street below was brendon urie, christine daae, kristin chenoweth, roger taylor, starkid, “literally me”, and “literally you”. and this is the only valid addition.
