this is what plays when you’re dying and your life is flashing before your eyes

*puts this on my End Of The World playlist*

Ok @peachcrushedvelvet is 100% accurate but here are several other situations I feel this beautiful creation could apply to

1. End of the world type of experience as noted above by @nero-neptune i.e. meteors falling and people running, things exploding and desperately trying to survive

2. Desperately running through your house avoiding attackers (guns, projectiles, of some type)

3. You’re in a library and you accidentally knock something over which knocks over all of the shaves domino style and you’re running down the hallway with them falling in the background. 

Everybody please contribute

4. You finally experience love at first sight, but they’re in the middle of a bank heist and you’re getting caught in the cross fire

5. You’re getting arrested in roller skates at the laundromat

6. Intergalactic space travel in the form of a gay cruise

Really nice recipes. Every hour.

Author/writer intent is more important than reader/fandom desires.

Imagine coming upon Rivendell after a long tiresome journey and the Elves taking you in as their guest.

Do y’all want to hear the story of the most ridiculous church I’ve ever encountered?

Shoot

>Be me >Be taking an internship over in California for a few months between school years >Be looking for a church >Mom recommends one she found on Facebook >All their stuff on the page is for the Lorax >Figure it must be some thing they’re doing with their children’s classes >okayletsdothis.jpg >Pride flag flying outside >Okay that’s a little weird for a church, but it’s Cali, maybe they’re just trying to be welcoming >Go in >They sing a couple hymns I haven’t heard before >Is nice >Pastor goes up to preach >Eventually I notice he doesn’t have a bible >He pulls out the Lorax book >Reads it in its entirety >Keep in mind this is the adult service >Proceeds to wax poetic about nature and environmentalism for the next 45 minutes >Mentions a vague ‘creator‘ maybe twice the whole service >Still never mentioned the gospel the whole time >By the end of this I’m beginning to think maybe the Catholics are right about us all being heretics >My family still jokes to this day about the Church of the Lorax

That’s the second worst I’ve seen.

The story of the worst one goes like this

>Same summer >Family is in Cali for another reason so they visit me while they’re there. >It’s Sunday Sunday Sunday! >Figure we’ll find a place to go to service >Already know to avoid the Church of the Lorax >See that Stanford chapel is nearby >Figure we’ll see what that’s like >Place is gorgeous >Looks like a cathedral inside >The ordained minister comes up >She’s a woman >First thing she wants to tell us is that she’s a lesbian >The rainbow stole already kind of gave it away >californiansbelikethat.png >Preaches on the sermon of Jesus driving the legion of demons into the pigs >Seems weirdly fixated on the legion character >Quotes his lines a lot >Not a lot of focus on Jesus >Gets really passionate about LGBT people and how people may hate them but they’ll never back down >Flat out says ‘We are Legion, We are Many‘ at one point with no trace of irony >Tries to use it as an inspiring slogan >I think by this point she’s forgotten she’s flat out endorsing the demons >In what is nominally a church >Rest of the congregation just nods along like ‘hey, maybe the demons had a point‘ >You know, maybe it’s not protestants >Maybe California is just Hell

Vault-Tec Vaults; Game Origin & Location

Hi I'm going to back to my "Fallout Blog" roots. Here is a summary of all of the vaults and experiments (starting with a timeline) because I'm insane ^_^ I had to add a weird break bc I literally hit the tumblr character limit, but I used it to section off the major spoilers for the TV series :)

Happy Great War anniversary to all who celebrate!! 💣💥

How Much Territory Are the Fallout Player Characters Actually Micromanaging: An Analysis

I did some amateur research to figure out which of the Fallout protagonists (specifically 3, NV, and 4) have a reasonable area of land to constantly traverse. I used Apple Maps to find the straightest possible walking path from a point on either end of the game map, then multiplied the north-south and east-west figures to get an approximate square mileage. Since none of the walking paths were completely straight, these numbers will all be a little higher than actual. BUT the game maps also don’t completely correlate to the real-life locations, so consider these numbers to be estimates.

The Commonwealth: Around 600 square miles. This is honestly pretty manageable, especially if you’re teleporting or helicoptering all over the place. It would be exhausting, but you could theoretically get across the map in a day with time to spare for questing.

The Capital Wasteland: Around 800 square miles. Fairfax is the halfway point; very few locations on the western half of the map actually correspond to anything in real life. The exception is the cavern Little Lamplight is based on, which would make the game map 100 miles long. The map definitely doesn’t extend that far into Virginia.

New Vegas: Kind of hard to calculate at this scale, but we’re looking at a little under 3000 square miles! Through. the Mojave. Desert. The Courier is really going to have to commit to a course of action before traveling, because they won’t be coming back for about a week.

If you’re a fanfic writer, remember that you don’t owe realism to anyone. BUT, if realism is something you care about for your writing, keep these distances in mind!

(Sequel: distance from game maps to DLCs)

It is near 3 in the god damned morning and I am losing my mind.

who keeps making these weirdly specific videos of cans of junk food exploding in lava while circus music plays in the background?

When God first shows Moses how to turn his staff into a snake, the original Hebrew word used to describe what the staff turns into is נָחָשׁ, which means snake or viper

Moses tells Aaron to do the same trick when they get to the pharaoh’s hall in Egypt, only when Aaron throws down his staff in the pharaoh’s hall the original Hebrew word used to describe what the staff turns into is תַנִין, which is a bit less specific. Depending on context the word can mean asp or cobra, but it can also be used for crocodile, sea serpent, or dragon

It’s entirely possible that based on context it’s meant to be assumed that Aaron turns his staff into a snake, but imagine:

Moses: “Oh, Aaron, God wants me to tell you to throw down your staff on the floor of the pharaoh’s hall. He’ll turn it into a snake”

Aaron: “Cool, got it”

Smash cut to a dragon thrashing around in the pharaoh’s hall, knocking over columns, people are screaming, pandemonium

Aaron: “You said it was going to be a snake”

Moses: “I WAS EXPECTING A SNAKE”

Cute version of events:

It’s a teeny tiny dragon. No bigger than an English bulldog.

It just breaths a little angry breath of fire into the air.

Did anyone else know that the juices you can make with produce and the juicer in Seasons gives cool hidden gameplay effects? It doesn't outright tell you, but here's a good list from The Sims Wiki about it.
