this is a mess

This is what posting your artwork after a mutual posts a big life update feels like

I refuse to let this be lost in the tags

you should be able to say "line" if you don't know what to say in a social situation

nika x dawg

me watching the tv jumping up and down and screaming in celebration and when you look at the screen you don't see a sports game instead you see martin sheen giving a monologue as jed bartlet in the west wing. you also start cheering.

Our celestial lovers are reunited today! It warms my heart to see people reblogging this art again, almost 7 years later 🧡

the grim reaper being armed with an enormous razor sharp scythe becomes a lot less intimidating when you understand just how common a tool scythes actually were in the pre industrial era of agriculture. it's like if we invented a personification of death called "the dark handyman" who takes souls by loosening them from the body with his wrench.

This is hilarious to me… I feel like Paige was bending over backwards to answer the media’s questions about Caitlin without really saying anything positive 😭 if you listen to what she says it basically sums up to “Yes I do know her and she is in fact a basketball player! She sure does like to win games!”

“I know Caitlin, of course, we go way back. Midwestern, we had a lot of battles in AAU and stuff like that, we played together on Team USA. I think she’s just a competitor, she wants to win. She has intangibles of the game, she knows how to play, great IQ, but I think the biggest thing about her is that she competes. She’s just a winner, she wants to win at all costs.”

It’s giving that clip of Harry Styles being like “My favorite thing about this movie… is that it’s a movie”

This is so funny because reporters did the same thing with Cam after she won DPOY. They were desperately trying to get her to say "Caitlin is my Best Friend!"

my fav trope is like, nonhuman characters not understanding human needs/customs but still being super supportive of their human companion

“look what I found while exploring this planet’s surface!” “kilrak please I’m trying to sleep” “ah yes your human circadian rhythm. *stage whispering* I am supposed to be quiet during this time in your rhythm, yes?”

“the book I purchased on ragnok V says humans require physical touch when upset. therefore, I shall engage in a ‘hug’ with you.” *supremely awkward five-armed hug ensues*

*human sneezes* “OH MY GOD SIL'EEN GET THE MEDIC OUR HUMAN IS DYING”

“this pamphlet I received recently says that humans require companions and packmates in the form of small earth creatures. you should have told me this before we departed earth, but it is no worry. we will have to stop at the next trade planet to get you one of these ‘cats’ or ‘dogs’.”

imagine the aliens really purchasing a kitten for one of their rough and world-weary scifi badass human companions and watching in helpless wonderment what ensues 

“she’s been cuddling that small animal for the past fifteen minutes just going ‘kitty, kitty’. did we - did we break our human?”

a more seasoned alien puts one of their tentacles around the younger one as the rest of the team gathers to watch their human make kissy noises. 

“no, kilrak,” the alien says. “we did good.” 

“Human-Steve! I have heard that today is the anniversary of your hatching! According to my human culture pamphlet, it is customary to set a sugary pastry on fire while chanting your species’ growth incantation and presenting sacrifices wrapped in shiny paper. I am afraid to ask, in case this ritual is sacred and this request therefor insensitive… but may I be allowed to participate? It sounds much more fascinating than molting.”

“Human Steve, I have read about your ritual dance called ‘The Hokey Pokey,’ performed mostly at mate-bonding celebrations after the guests reach an elevated level of intoxication. But Human Steve, how do I know WHICH left foot to put in, put out, and shake all about? I do not… Human Steve, why are you laughing?”

“Human-Steve, you are… you are eating, but it is not one of your ritual fueling times. Are you dying? Is everything alright? Have you not been receiving enough sustenance? Do I need to get you better things to eat? Human-Steve, why are you trying to hide that food?”

“Human-Steve, my research has informed me of a grave oversight in your care that I, as your companion, have made! Thus, I have gathered collections of fictional human literature to read aloud at the time of your bed. Which is more to your liking: “The Care and Keeping of Cacti” or “1001 Crossword Puzzles?” Human-Steve? Human-Steve, I am serious.“

One of the things I love the most about this post is how “Human-Steve” makes me think that there is also an alien called Steve in the squad, and I just imagine the first meeting and introduction where there is the human guy introducing himself as Steve and then there is this huge blue guy with like 5 legs and bug eyes and apparently Steve is like a completely regular name on his planet too in some intergalactical coincidence

that was off topic sorry.

that was the best possible tangent, thank you for this addition

awwww💗

april fools day is actually the most sensible day of the year because it's the only day on which people will read something on the internet and stop for a second to consider whether or not it's actually true

# she's just happy to be there okay

Imagine one day Persephone comes to camp and everyone is freaking out "it's so rare for a god to physically show up at camp ! She must have a very important quest to give !" But then she walks to Nico and says "Hi Nico, next time you see your dad can you tell him I forgot my dandelion earrings at his palace?" And he's like "for the love of Olympus Persephone I told you to not talk to me in front of other campers it's so embarrassing"

Bonus point if he's with Will and she looks at him and goes

Persephone, smirking : you must be Will

Nico : Persephone

Persephone: Nico told me quite a lot about you

Nico : I'll ask Alecto to bring your earrings back to you. Can you go now

Me and the boys on Dunsinane Hill

Bonus:

percy when someone asks who's the head councilor of the poseidon cabin

I’m not 😭😭
