It's like standing in a field with a friend and watching a huge cloud bank build and build on the horizon until the sky is dark and green and suddenly your friend is like, "Holy SHIT I think it's going to rain!!!" and you're like...yes? I thought we were doing that Midwestern thing of watching for a tornado? Are we not?

I think the only Poison Ivy sex pollen story I’d be interested in would be a plot in which Ivy’s toxins (which do Not function as generic sex pollen) get stolen and reformulated and patented as aphrodisiacs or date rape drugs and she has to go to court to try to sue for copyright infringement or something. And she wears a pant suit. No shirt underneath the blazer. Cigarette legs and a high waist. Emerald green.

OR Ivy gets roped into a court case and has to prove that her pollen does not cause irresistible sexual impulses and the rapists attributing their actions to exposure to Ivy’s pollen are lying. And also she wears a pant suit with no shirt underneath etc etc. She’s still evil and stuff of course she’s just offended at the idea that she’d create a substance directly responsible for encouraging human reproduction.

cast iron? yeah thats a pretty common spell to learn

The idea that the Norse were highly-individualistic is extremely funny to me. These are people who were cooped up in the same abode together for 4-5 frozen months out of the year. Optimizing their ability to cooperate was essential.

If you think quarantining during the pandemic made you crazy, try doing it when you, your spouse, your kids, and probably your parents all live together in a drafty 14'x14' hutch, and the only think keeping you from dying of hypothermia at that very moment is a single fireplace, the presence of warm bodies, and your ability to emotionally self-regulate.

Oh yeah. Your cows and goats would be in there with you as well.

it’s a shame more vampire media doesn’t pull from vampire bat behavior because they’re such sweeties. they can only survive their incredibly specialized diet because bats will share blood with colony members that didn’t find a meal! there’s evidence that suggests the donors sometimes initiate this behavior themselves by approaching hungry bats! the colonies are mostly harems of females with a few males but they’ve been observed letting unrelated males in when it gets cold so they can all stay warm! cute little social critters!
