In what might be becoming a tradition, I have once again coded a site skin themed on the assassination of Julius Caesar in the Roman Senate in 44BCE.

If you too would like to go all out for the bit, you can grab the code from over on my github. There's a readme file if you need instructions for how to add a site skin to your AO3 account.

Mass Effect: Turian Edition #13

It was a huge success. The Great Dictator was the first Hollywood movie to condemn Hitler and made him look like a fool. Hitler banned The Great Dictator in Germany and all countries run by the Nazis.

However, years after it was released, Charlie Chaplin said that he would have canned The Great Dictator had he known about the actual horrors of the Nazi concentration camps at the time. “Had I known, … I could not have made fun of the homicidal insanity of the Nazis.” [x]

Until you see this sick shot.

Aries: Good things are often made by terrible people, terrible things are made by good people. Do not mistake an artist for their art. 

Taurus: There is a depth to exhaustion, a wellspring to the true self. Be careful how deep you dig.

Gemini: A big stick means nothing if people don’t know you’re ready to use it. Smash some stuff!

Cancer: Intimidate your enemies by maliciously sewing things to other things.

Leo: High-speed faceplanting for self defense. 

Virgo: Set yourself apart at work by encasing everything but your legs in crystal. 

Libra: With practice, you can learn to lurk anywhere, regardless of light level or zoning laws. 

Scorpio: Save time and energy by simply submerging your entire head in food and absorbing nutrients through your skin.

Ophiuchus: The creepy carnival set up outside of town that only certain people can see is not to be trusted, not matter how cool the rollercoaster looks.

Sagittarius: Pretend to be a hive mind with your friends by speaking in unison until you actually do become a hive mind.

Capricorn: The person who looks exactly like you wearing exact copies of your clothes but soaked in blood that you see at target is just a wild coincidence. They did murder someone though.

Aquarius: Make sure annoying strangers dont bother you by covering yourself in honey and leaves. 

this dude actually found a large fossil deposit that was created not just close to, but actually DURING THE K-PG EXTINCTION EVENT.

IT’S LITERALLY A WINDOW BACK IN TIME TO THE CHICXULUB IMPACT, AND TURNS OUT IT WAS WORSE THAN ANYTHING WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE IMAGINED

- chicxulub is the given name for the meteor that struck/initiated the event

- the paleontologist within is described as making groundbreaking discoveries of multiple species every day, but many of his peers discount him because they’re grouchy old dudes he accidentally had a fragment of a turtle bone involved in a larger reconstruction of a fossil this one time and they won’t let him live it down.

- the extinction event was so fast and so destructive, this guy describes this particular dig-site as being so densely layered with dead and dying creatures, there is a lot of organic tissues that have been preserved, and he is able to even discern that many of the marine and freshwater fish may have still been alive as they were buried due to molten glass being found in their gills, implying they were still attempting to breathe.

- they looked into exactly when and how this could have happened, having freshwater and marine animals stacked on top of mammals and larger dinosaurs (including an amazing deinonychus forearm discovery he was able to match to feather fossils he was finding atop the pile), and rather it being the initial tsunami, they are fairly sure that it was caused by a seiche of catastrophic proportions, which would have been set off within the first hour of the event. denser and larger creatures sunk to the bottom, leaving lighter debris like leaves, small fish, feathers, and molten glass on the surface.

WHAT THE SHIT.

I knew the meteor/asteroid was bad. But...
