Tolkien is having his first ever egg. It’s. Not going well.
TOLKIEN IS A SNAKE. HES MY SNAKE. MY PET SNAKE. AUTHOR JOLKIEN ROLKIEN ROLKIEN TOLKIEN IS NOT BIRTHING AN EGG
“Walrus on your doorstop” this “fairy’s more unrealistic” that my professor just uttered the sentence “there was one day I found a real octopus in my backyard” this man hasn’t left Utah his entire life. How was there an octopus in his backyard in Utah. He then said “I do not have time to elaborate we need to cover a lot today in class” GIRL WHAT DO YOU MEEAN
YEAH
I enjoyed the case report a lot.
Nona didn't get all the dogs she wanted at her birthday party- not the brown one by the fish shop, or Stop It (name presumed) who lies underneath the counter at the dairy. She didn't get a chance to invite the white-and-black one she saw one time at the park, or the spotted beach dog.
But Noodle was in the back, and that was its own kind of miracle.
She didn't get to have any of the gang at her birthday party, either- not Hot Sauce, or Honesty, or Born in the Morning, or Beautiful Ruby. Not even Kevin.
But Hot Sauce did let her back in the gang, even knowing that she's a zombie. And that's not nothing.
Everyone from Blood of Eden was able to make it, though! Crown Him with Many Crowns was there, and Cell Commander We Suffer and We Suffer- even Captain Deuteros was able to make it, technically, and Camilla said that wasn't even possible. (Take that, Cam.) She may have spent most of the party seizing in the back of the truck, but she still showed up. Captain Judith Deuteros would never dream of doing something so impolite and improper as declining a formal birthday invitation.
The Angel made it, too.
The last thing on Nona's list (as transcribed by C. Hect) was "And you three." (Good to know. —C.)
She didn't get all three of them, in the end, exactly. But Pyrrha and Paul were there to give her her birthday presents. Or tell her what they were, at least. (It's the thought that counts, Pyrrha.)
Planet Earth didn't get everything she wanted for her birthday. It wasn't at the beach, for starters, but there was Ninth House grave dirt for sand, and a saltwater moat for an ocean, and a ceiling full of glow-worms for stars. But she got presents- a fancy handkerchief, and a shirt with a sex joke on it, and she loved them both very much.
And almost all her favorite people were able to make it.
also what is with people tossing out support for nonbinary people when the nonbinary person is a celebrity. as soon as demi lovato changed their pronouns from they/them to they/she everyone, including supposed allies of the community, IMMEDIATELY dropped the “they” part of “they/she” and started referring to them as a woman again. then when “unholy” by sam smith and kim petras won a grammy people talked about how kim petras (just her) made trans history by being the first trans person to win a grammy. and yes this is something to be celebrated, but is sam smith not also trans by virtue of being nonbinary? did they not also make history? or do you not see them as nonbinary because they’re amab and not feminine enough to cross the man threshold for you? and yes nonbinary celebrities are not going to see you referring to them as if they were cis but your trans acquaintances sure as fuck are
I realised this video isn’t available on mobile so here’s a tumblr version.
If you want to watch it at full quality you can find it here on youtube.
I thought this was gonna be a funny compilation of people getting smacked around but this was amazing, holy god
self care is bringing back this video
found this at a second-hand/culture store and absolutely lost it
An explanation.
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
;-;
Anyone crying over this needs to think about how insufferable a dragon raised by a seagull would be
You bring French fries onto the beach. You angrily shoo away seagulls that predictably try to grab them. A HUGE shadow swoops over you.
Ok, the last two are new additions to me, and I am LOVING it
Look.
I will take a dragon raised by a seagull over one raised by a pelican.
tbh the fact that cats purr was an unnecessary bonus we don't always acknowledge. they're already cute and baby and little and soft and make silly noises and do funny shit. but they also like to cuddle and make a soothing pleasant noise to indicate they are happy when they cuddle you? huge. huge for the human race.
I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
