in space no one can hear you moan like a girl
Ground control here, we can hear you just fine
Ah the deadly typo...we've all been there.
I dont remember why I made hmmboob.png but I’m thankful for it every single day
Random headcanon: the reason that Peach and Bowser don’t seem to get a lot of respect in some Super Mario games is because the Mushroom Kingdom is kind of a rural backwater and isn’t terribly important or influential politically, so people tend to regard Bowser as a C-list villain for being so hung up on such an insignificant conquest. Nobody really expects Bowser to be a serious threat – that would be like expecting a guy whose main claim to fame is repeatedly failing to conquer Wyoming to be a serious threat – so they get taken by surprise every single time.
So what you’re saying is that Bowser is more or less on the same level of villainy as Dr. Doofenshmirtz?
Oh, quite the opposite – point him at any target that isn’t the Mushroom Kindgom and he’s this massive outside context problem that rolls over entire armies and cracks planets in half. It’s just the Mushroom Kingdom in particular he can’t seem to figure out, and that bothers him terribly.
The obvious implication is that, like, Mario is an A-tier hero who happens to live in a C-tier nation.
Like, if Clark Kent hadn’t moved to the big city for a reporting job, he’d still be Superman. And there’s be some villain who tried to knock over a bank in Bumfuck Kansas and wound up having a very bad day.
(And eventually we have Lex Luthor spending a huge amount of time trying and failing to run some penny-ante scheme in rural Kansas and failing, and no one can take him seriously despite the fact that he’s just as competent as he would be in canon.)
In Oregon there lives a species of snake capable of surviving tetrodotoxin doses strong enough to kill animals thousands of times their size. This is because they evolved alongside a species of poisonous newt which they consume regularly, which produces ludicrous amounts of a poison thousands of times stronger than cyanide. They got to this point by fighting each other in the same bumfuck nowhere habitat for millions of years. The newts got more toxic to fight the snakes. The snakes got better immunity to keep eating newts. Now we’re left with snakes capable of eating some of the most poisonous creatures alive, and newts so deadly that they are inedible to anything other than these snakes.
What I’m trying to say is that Mario and Bowser are the result of two evenly-matched overpowered idiots fighting the same battle for decades. The consequences only become clear when you square them up to literally anything else.
These are the outlandish and logical takes I want on my dash

sometimes plushies make me cry because it’s like. they’re little guys made to be loved. their only purpose is to be held and hugged and loved. we made them because we love making things and we love loving things. and they’re so cute
Years back, I was working at a specialty store, and we got this HUGE crate of plushy toys. They were all insanely cute and squishy. I knew kids would go nuts for them, as it was the first week of December, so parents and grandparents often had kids with them while shopping for furniture, lamps, cooking equipment, lights, etc.
One night, I was working my last hour of my shift covering the Customer Service desk, which meant when I wasn't busy, I was supposed to help clean up around the cash registers, including taking back items people changed their minds about at the checkout. Earlier, I had witnessed a kid carrying thos cute plushy toy. It was a brown and white hedgehog. The kid, at the checkout, saw a remote control car and he told his dad he qanted it. The dad told him, "The plushy or the car- you can't have both" (by the way, I respect boundaries with kids and parents sticking to their guns about it), and the kid picked the car.
So, I'm cleaning up, have less than an hour left of my shift, and I see the little plushy hedgehog. Somehow, he never got put back nor had anyone else seen him and decided to buy him. He was just sitting there, slumped to the side, unattended.
It's Christmas and I'm a sentimental old sap at heart. My brain starts replaying the scene from RUDOLPH where he's on the Island of Misfot Toys, and is told a toy is never truly happy until it is loved. I picked him up and quickly took him back to the bin with the plushies but... It was empty. He was literally the last plushy toy and my boss was about to wheel the bin out. We weren't getting any more toys till November, so that meant any toys left at this point needed to sell or they'd be sent to the dump.
I brought the little hedgehog to the front, figuring someone would see him with the candy, candles, & Christmas brick-a-brack, and fall in love with him. When I finished my shift, I went to ask my manager a question and as I passed the Christmas candle display - there he sat, the sad little slumped over hedgehog plushy. No one had bought him, or even moved him.
My manager, Phillip, saw me and the hedgehog. He asked how the hedgehog got there. I told him how I'd put him there when the bin got sent back, and he was the only plushy left. Philip had kids, I figured he'd probably get sentimental and buy it for his kids. Nope. He shrugged and said he'd send it back to be disposed of.
That night, I came home with a plushy hedgehog in my passenger seat. My mom saw him and just thought he was the cutest little hedgehog and asked what I wanted to do with him. I told her the story, then added I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do with him.
My mom is a child psychiatrist, specializing in children with PTSD and brain damage that results in learning problems/issues with processing their emotions. She asked if she could have the plushy hedgehog (even offered to pay me for him, she didn't expect me to just give him over), so kids could hug him when they were upset in session.
Murphy, the plushy hedgehog that still slumps a little to the left when seated, has been hugged by hundreds of kids. Little girls have held him tight while explaining about bullies, little boys have held him tight while crying over their panic attacks, younger siblings have held him to whisper secrets while elder siblings and parents talk about self-soothing techniques, teenagers have hugged Murphy while talking about the worst day of their lives. Murphy has also been hugged by kids excitedly chatting about a new friend at school, a teen girl excited to be called by her name instead of her dead-name, little kids proudly saying they've mastered their ABCs, and even staff members who just need to come chat over a case they are having trouble with.
Every now and then, my mom brings Murphy home for a weekend. He gets washed (she calls it a Spa Weekend, to her coworkers, all of them laughing), dried, and sits outside with my mom in the sunshine to get aired out, then on Monday, they are back to work. Some kids even just ask to hold Murphy while they talk, no matter their mood or what they want to talk about. They just want to hug Murphy.
So yes. Plushies are made for one purpose. To be hugged and loved. To be a comfort.

Very late with this, but I was busy and trying to post my favorite reads video first (there’s a video up on my TikTok with short summaries of all of these books and some of my thoughts). Have you read any of these??
• book recommendations •
i’m back from crashing my sister’s work trip to japan and coming to you with some book recs based on the pop culture-tinged dregs of my bookish brain.🤗
We’ve got dragons and cozy small towns, Korean folklore and Shakespeare retellings, and some serious Mr. Darcy meets “You are the bane of my existence, and the object of all my desires” action.
Happy reading!
any book recs where the plot is actually intriguing, with no toxic male love interests?
thanks anon i live for giving recs🩷 prepare to be bombarded I'm sorry

presenting: season 1 merthur data analysis
and supporting graphical evidence:
ok so based on my extremely scientific research, here are the conclusions i can reasonably draw so far:
the gravitational pull of merlin’s mouth is an observable force of nature. arthur is down bad more frequently, merlin lags behind but then late-season suddenly remembers he too has eyeballs and eventually catches up like “huh maybe arthur’s lipgloss is popping”.
my groundbreaking thesis holds so far: there’s a correlation between merlin’s slutty little throat and arthur’s behaviour. not always a direct spike, but enough overlap to suggest arthur does in fact get feral when the collarbones are out (understandable)
limitations of study:
dataset currently restricted to season 1
potential bias introduced by researcher being insane
peer review pending. funding denied :/
Concept: Immortality is a sexually transmitted disease. But only from original immortals. Like, if Merlin sleeps with Arthur, he gets it, but if he sleeps with someone else after, they don't
Arthur: *blushing furiously* okay... Okay, I get that now... but I have a few questions
Merlin: okay, go ahead
Arthur: How do you know this?
Merlin: estimated guess *waves around the room of immortals*
Arthur: ok... ok.... Why is there so many of them?
Merlin: ... I have a life outside of you
Gwaine: A very good life *wink*
....
Arthur: GWEN?!?!?! You slept with Merlin too????
Gwen: *sweating as she tugs at Morgana's sleeve* urgh... yeah. sure... sure. Merlin *quickly takes a sip of lesbian juice*
Arthur: Morgana, please tell me you're just accompanying Gwen
Morgana: *knowing full well she's an original* oh yes, many times, in fact. He's very good with his tongue
Arthur: *blushing and muttering* oh
...
Arthur: You too, Sir Leon?
Leon: no
Arthur: but you-
Leon: not. a. word
Arthur: ....
Leon: *sighs* I trained with Morgana. At some point, she decided 'biting' counts as a form of self defense.... apparently that too does it.
Arthur: oh
Arthur: wait.... you got it from MORGANA?!?!?!
...
Gwaine: hey, if you slept with two original immortals. Do you get like... twice the immortality?
Are the fandom wiki's, wikipedias children or their alter egos?
Thinking about how fanfiction.net would relate to humanized Tumblr x AO3 aus. Would they be a mentor figure to ao3 that later retired from the fanfiction library, and faded out from their lives over time? Or the literal mother of AO3 that raised them on their own but later passed away leaving AO3 and Wattpad to run the library for the readers (even though they have very different methods), like how fanfiction.net and live journal once did before them.
I know in reality there would be zero difference between the blood of a virgin and your favorite friend group hoe, and overall it's almost definitely just a round about way to say that insert fictional vampire/cult of minor God/evil magic system needs "innocent" victims for the sacrifice. But with saying all that why in any way would getting poked with a d*ck affect the quality of your blood? IDK who started it but
