How can you not include the video?

@lordcephalopod

THEY’RE ROASTING HIM

Nothing could make me more curious about your taxidermy than this.

I need this as a t-shirt as “zoologically improbable and/or terrifying to small children” sums me up.

Finally I know what I want inscribed on my tombstone when I die.

I remember the news article, this is the lion that was removed:

THAT IS FUCKING TERRIFYING

OH MY GOD THAT IS HORRIFIC

hahaha

I’M LAUGHING SO HARD OH MY GOD

I can’t remember the last time I actually laughed this hard at something on tumblr. Oh my shit.

ZOO-LOGICALLY IMPROBABLE DOESNT FUCKING COVER IT

I’ve reblogged this before, but not with the lion attached. OH GOD THAT LION

IT’S BACK WITH THE ACTUAL ANIMAL

AHHHHHH

Oh god, I recognize that lion.

It’s mentioned in Still Life:Adventures in Taxidermy by Melissa Milgrom (which I recommend).

This reminds me of that meme cat that’s like “how you feel when you’re wearing socks and step in water” that I spent 15 minutes trying to find a picture of on the internet but cannot.  

JESUS FUCKING CHRISTMAS WHAT THE HELL IS THAT DEMONIC MUPPET

me (cleaning up): holds knife

intrusive thoughts: what if-

me: ok edgelord we get it what if i slit my wrists right now can we please just focus

Additionally; me: *waiting for the subway* intrusive thoughts: what if you jumped me: it would cause a four hour delay while they pick your body parts out of the rails you fucking prick, can we please for once get on public transit without going through this

Also; Me: *walking along a busy road* intrusive thoughts: What if you just fell over in front of this truck? Me: It would back up traffic all fucking night and probably hurt a lot of people you prick.

Gosh. I never have thoughts like this

didnt ask but that sounds nice

Me: *walking down the stairs* Intrusive Thought: I could throw myself down these flight of stairs and leave more time for everyone else! Me: Or you end up with a broken wrist and sprain ankle you dickhead keep walking

Me: *driving on a bridge* Intrusive thoughts: I could just drive straight into that lake and finish it right now. Me: You asshole, this is a new car. Just fucking keep going like everyone else you prick.

oh my god,^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I needed this

Me: *standing at a lookout* It’s so beautiful here…

Intrusive thoughts: yeah, look at that view, you could just step out into it and you’d probably never feel the impact when you hit the ground 20m below…

Me: Bitch, don’t ruin the view for everyone else. Fucksake.

Me: *doing literally nothing*

Intrusive thoughts: What if-

Me: Can’t you just shut the fuck up and chill for once? God damn

My favorite thing about Thomas the Tank Engine is that it canonically takes place in a train post-apocalypse where the Island of Sodor is the only safe zone in a totalitarian dystopia in which steam trains are routinely killed and their body parts are sold or cannibalized for repair

If you think I’m kidding you need to read the original books

could you please direct me to a source? i would feel much better if this was validated.

It took me so long to find this quote online but I did it because it’s so much darker than one might expect from Thomas the Tank Engine:

This illustration, by Gunvor and Peter Edwards, accompanied the above text in the original book, and depicts a pair of unfortunate Other Railway engines moments before being disassembled with a blowtorch.

HOLY FUCK LOOK AT THE ONE IN THE BACKGROUND THEY TOOK ITS FUCKING FACE OMG

the early thomas the tank engine books are pretty standard stuff. saccharine bubblegum type stories and illustrations. if you watched the show, it’s like that in book form. the second half of the railway series are so fucking dark and surreal i’m convinced they were a result of reverend wilbur awdry doing copious amounts of lsd and having hallucinations of his own death.

Excuse me but the very first story in the Railway Series is about an engine who hides in a tunnel and refuses to run because he doesn’t want to get his paint job ruined in the rain, so railway management seals off the tunnel.

They eventually let him out because another engine breaks down or something, but the original plan was to just leave him in there forever.

On the show, didn’t they also hook up one engine to a generator, so he’d never move again? That was literally one of the lines, I think. It’s on some other post on here. It was chilling.

Yes!  This also happened in the books, to an engine referred to only as “No. 2″, but the television series applied the same scenario to an invented character named “Smudger”, in the episode “Granpuff”.

This is so fucked up

No, listen.

Okay, so we see Railway Management doing all this shit, right, but supposedly it’s so much worse in the Other Railways? I mean, sure, you might get turned into a generator or bricked into a tunnel for not doing as you’re told, but at least you’re not cut up and sold for parts, right? It’s not so bad on the island of Sodor, right?

Or maybe that’s just what Railway Management wants the engines to think.

Maybe the island of Sodor is the real totalitarian regime, and the engine citizens (slaves) are fed propaganda, illustrated in hellish grays and sulfuric yellows, about how bad it is everywhere else, at all the Other Railways.

You are lucky to be an engine of Sodor.

Railway Management cares about you.

Trust Railway Management.

Stay on Your Track.

It Could Be So Much Worse.

Wtf the fuck is this train based 1984 bullshit

Overview of Instinctual Stackings

so/sx

Motivation: to create lasting connections with those they are interested in - the “best friend.”

This type has very strong one to one social skills, but is usually uncomfortable in group settings. They enjoy cultivating multiple relationships, and can be intensely involved when in the presence of someone they are interested in, but have difficulty sustaining these bonds when apart. This may give the impression of being flighty and rootless, willing to adapt and mirror others in order to connect, but lacking a defined approach that would give their relationships a more solid standing. They may have political interests, but are generally more pragmatic and less partisan than the other social variant. They are often attuned to pop culture and the latest trends.

so/sp

Motivation: to attain status within their chosen sphere - the “social climber.”

This type is often the most comfortable in group settings, but tends to be a bit formal and awkward in one to one relations. This is the natural political type, affiliating themselves with groups or theories which best defend their social and material interests. They may lack warmth and individual identity and this could lead to problems in forming meaningful relationships outside of a shared social interest. They know what they like, but often find it difficult to get deeply excited or enthusiastic about anything.

sp/sx

Motivation: to live in a secure, comfortable environment where they can pursue their private interests in depth.

These people often have an earthy, mysterious quality to them. They are quietly intense, but to others may seem oblivious to the greater social world around them, instead favoring personal interests. They are slow to commit, but once they do it is with an attitude of life commitment, to the establishment of an impermeable bond. Others can be taken aback by how suddenly and completely this type can lock into them, and by the depth of understanding of the other’s condition. They attach to others at an organic, root level, in contrast to the other sub-variant’s surface formality. Somewhat hesitant to enter new relationships, they instead preserve the select few enduring bonds they carefully form along the way. The sanctuary of home is of paramount concern, and this type takes particular delight in decorating their spaces to reflect their cherished sense of taste and depth. Depth and discrimination characterize this stacking.

sp/so

Motivation: to attain a position of material and societal security.

This type is generally private and reserved, and especially serious and practical minded in their focus to gain material security and in making useful connections that support their goals. When they do form a connection, loyalty is very important to them and they will not hesitate to end a relationship on grounds of disloyalty. This type may lack a certain degree of interpersonal warmth which can give the impression of coldness or disinterest in others, even a sense of selfishness. May be drawn to groups that attract like minded individuals, as in business clubs or volunteer organizations where a shared professional culture can facilitate social bonds. They tend to live conservatively and dress in an inconspicuously appropriate fashion befitting their status in life. May have a characteristically blunt and direct style of communication that can take others some getting used to. They are particularly strong in matters of commitment and sacrifice, and enjoy being the benefactors in assisting society’s practical needs.

sx/sp

Motivation: to know the heart, reconcile inner conflict, form a secure union.

This is perhaps the most internally conflicted of the stackings, and potentially the most inconsistent in behavior. This may occur as a blockage of the sexual instinct which can be redirected as a more generally brooding and troubled personality. They may isolate themselves for long periods of time before reemerging. They live according to a strictly personal outlook and are not particularly concerned with the approval of others outside of their immediate concern. They seem to be searching for something, the missing piece. If they find a soulmate they will unite without fanfare, forming a secret bond, dealing with formalities as an afterthought. Powerful sexual impulses facing inner resistance may manifest symbolically in the psyche, giving way to soulful interpretations of the unconscious. Under periods of stress severe sexual tensions may manifest as erratic, impulsively destructive behavior. Can seem restless, torn between the comforts of a stable home life and the urge to wander. May be prone to self-medicating.

sx/so

Motivation: to impact others, question assumptions, challenge convention.

This is the type that exudes the most raw charisma and sexual energy. They may identify so strongly with whatever they’re involved with that they often become the symbol of its core essence, and sometimes its lead agent for change. Hardly content with the status quo, this sub-variant seeks to alter the fundamental structure of something while at once embodying it’s purest or most extreme form. Possibly attracted to radical views on politics, philosophy, spirituality or creativity that reflect their penchant for testing boundaries. They enjoy pushing other’s buttons, especially those resistant to their modes of expression. It’s not uncommon for them to have a pet social, political or spiritual cause which they’re able to support with heartfelt conviction. May exploit and seek to redefine sexuality to reflect their own colorful and uncertain understanding of it. While prone to exhibitionism, they are strongly attracted to grounding influences which can anchor them and provide stability. Failure to satisfy an especially intense desire for connection may cause this sub-variant to spite others at the risk of jeopardizing the need for an equal, stabilizing force. Can feel pulled between wanting a life of maximum intensity and reassuring episodes of peaceful convention.

art tips post

for all the artists following me

I love this. And rule 2 is my absolute favorite. When I got into my arts highschool the first thing my favorite teacher did was take away out pencils for a week. We had to draw two things in our sketchbooks a day (could be anything) but it had to be in pen or marker. After a week of this she explained to us that we get so caught up in using our eraser that we fall into a pattern of common mistakes. If you draw in pen you force yourself to NOT make the same small mistakes that an eraser can fix. You improve so much faster. 👍 when I’m struggling with something in particular I will always sketch it in pen over and over and over again until I start to feel improvement.

My room mate found this 9-1-1 Emergency Education VHS and we watched it together. We seem to have the only record of its existence. And here’s a taste.

Kill the stereotype that Se-Ni types are better at everything than Ne-Si types.

Lmao but they are though?? I am saying this as an Ne-Si type, by the way.

the first step to solving a problem is admitting that there is a problem

What problem? I don’t see any problem there. It’s a fact, that’s all!

pros & cons of the mbti-types: ENTP

pros:

- always ready to party!!

- sarcastic lil shit

- “so what it´s rock and roll!”

- flirty and attractive personality

- has the combined charisma of 20 000 people

- mischiveous

- patrick from the perks of being a wallflower

- sirius black

- will make any infj swoon

- THEY ARE WONDERFUL OKAY

cons:

- may bottle up their feelings

- what are the cons of these beutiful people anyways???

Lol ok, this is sweet, but there are CONS! -never, never, never ever satisfied. -we want to be efficient but routine kills it for us. -poor time managing skills. -so much we want to do, so little time. -we can be so heartless and we don’t notice until we see your tears. -self second guessing all the time. -the line that divides cockiness and a true concept of ourselves is too much of a thin and blurry line, and that’s always on our mind. -we can’t fake attention. If we don’t find it interesting, we can’t force ourselves to focus, not even for the sake of our survival.

👆🏻all of this 👆🏻

-Cocky as fuck but somehow we also want to kick our own ass -Pride. Shit tons of pride -Never ever ever satisfied is right- and because of that we struggle to accept things as they are, often drive ourselves crazy being perfectionistic, because there’s always so much more to know and improve -Which is ironic because we can self sabotage and procrastinate like fuck -Once we have something in the bag, we have a tendency to get bored with it and leave it behind, which not only hurts people but can cause us to miss important things -Unhealthy Entp’s can definitely struggle with a stable sense of self if they misuse their fe
