andrew talks to babies like they're full grown adults and neil is afraid to be around babies at all and kevin thinks babies look at him weird and judge him but he's actually pretty good with them

irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers

Some people wonder why people fight wars, but I have no trouble imagining reasons for people to just haul off on each other. 

Anyway I still refuse to believe Viktor Arcane has bright fuckass yellow eyes they're literally just brown and stylized. The fanartists are lying to us. Amber colored eyes aren't real and gold colored eyes are especially not real they're brown. Natural blue hair is fine though

The bluenette is one of god's creatures but never let anybody tell you The Character has amber colored eyes. They're brown and just look like that when the light hits them right. Trust

shipping the popular yaoi pairing but shaking my head while i do to indicate that i also care about the work's themes and other characters

Die temu ad die

Hmm. Accidentally looks like latin.

Accidental latin is my new favourite thing.

@theshitpostcalligrapher

Agree, @qqueenofhades, except on the matter of breaking “die ad die” apart. It’s a common structure in poetic and oratorical Latin to jam one phrase in the middle of another. I can’t think of an example exactly parallel to this construction, but I could believe a Roman poet would write it!

....oh my god. You might be a genius. Because what else does Tumblr do but daily disgrace [itself, oneself, and/or numerous others] in the manner of the day, and make numerous scribal errors.

how dare you say we error on the scribes

this is what happens when you buy your latin on temu

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.

because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing

to my audio drama mutuals: does anyone have a recommendation of a short audio drama that someone could listen to in a day or so? I really want to get back into audio drama but all of my favourite shows are quite long and with a lot of them I kind of need to relisten to parts before I catch up and I think this is making me procrastinate getting back into them. I think if there was something that I could listen to quickly I’d get reinvested in the form and feel more motivated to catch up on my favourite shows if that makes sense. Really any genre is fine just as long as it’s shortish and it’s something you really like.

Chiming in with one of my favorites, Janus Descending! Sci-fi horror about two scientists who go to a distant planet and what happens to them there (not good things). Chel's parts are told forwards, Peter's parts are told backwards, as they slowly reveal what happened to make it go so wrong. Approximately two hours total.

I work in landscaping and the image of having to move snails out of my way but now they’re big™️ is cracking me up

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane
