HAPPY PRIDE :D

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

Depending on the severity of a concussion, recovery can often take weeks to months of constant vigilance and care, and you can spend almost that entire recovery time feeling sick and dizzy every time you stand up or go for a short walk. It’s usually not quick and easy.

A second knock to the head (however small!) soon after receiving a concussion is likely to trigger what’s called ‘Second Impact Syndrome’, which is mostly fatal. A character receiving Second Impact Syndrome will not walk away without permanent brain damage.

Within the later stages of recovery from a concussion, even just the tiniest knock to the head can put you back weeks of recovery time.

Though sleep immediately after a concussion should be monitored carefully, the myth that you shouldn’t sleep at all is wrong. Sleep is what actively fights concussions.

Sometimes, the symptoms of a concussion can take hours or days after the head bump to appear.

The monster that Legend and Hyrule are fighting is a daira, not a lizalfos. Daira look like alligators, wield axes, and have mohawks. They are monsters that are exclusive to Hyrule's adventure.

Lizalfos have several incarnations, but they usually look like lizards and wield swords/knives or spears. The Lizalfos we have seen are specifically based on the ones from Ocarina of Time and Echoes of Wisdom. The Lizalfos in The Shadow seem to interestingly use the red spikes to indicate rank of some sort, with some having no spikes, some having one shoulder, and the Shadow having both shoulder armors spiky (and more elaborate armor in general).

Jojo pours a tremendous amount of attention to detail into these posts, so it feels a little unintentionally reductionist to take something which clearly had a lot of effort spent to make a cool and dynamic daira and just call it "a lizalfos with a mohawk". Part of what makes this comic so special to me is it doesn't just rely on a generic design for monsters, or only use designs from one era! But I also know not everyone knows all the monster designs, so I am putting out this PSA so people can admire the differences with me!

i love them. although, y’all, someone’s gonna get hurt if they get any more competitive. legend isn’t focused on the fight at ALL. WHAT IF GREG’S COUSIN IS BLACK BLOODED???

i mean, he isn’t. look at him. but still.

“Alright.”

“You sure? Cause if you're about to leave the room and come back in with a white nightie and drape yourself romantically across my fainting couch with your neck and half your bosom exposed, then I'm going to ask you to leave.”

“It's fine.”

"Really. Cause again, it just isn't a thing for me. This is the way in which I eat, it would be like if every time you had a sandwich the sandwich awkwardly tried to have sex with you. Which, again, no judgement on the sandwich! Full respect for the sandwich! But I. don’t. Want. To fuck. The sandwich.”

“… I solemnly swear that both slices of bread will stay on at all times, and I won't even try to show you my mayonnaise.”

“Phew. Okay. Can I ask why you're doing this then?”

“You live in a giant fuck off mansion with like a bajillion rooms and servants. During the cost of living crisis. Give me some rooms rent free and a stipend for food and entertainment and you can drain me fuckin' dry for all I care.”

if you copy a url by sharing on the website, the link will look like this

getting rid of tracking in these is easy, just delete everything after the question mark and you are golden

in the case for the app, its slightly more complicated

first you have to delete at. that appears before tumblr(.)com the other tracking shit on this one has a lot more info, so please, clean app urls. after the first set of numbers, there's a / you have to delete everything after it

a clean Tumblr url should look like this

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

DO NOT CENSOR TAGS

don’t get me started on ‘$u!€!d3’ or ‘hart self’ (both are ACTUAL examples btw!)

for the love of god just tag it as what it is, no censorship. tag with ‘eating disorder’ not ‘3@+!ng d!$0rd3r’ or ‘ee a ting diss orr derr’

The Magic School Bus can time travel

When asked, Ms. Frizzle denies that she “knows everything”

However, Ms. Frizzle always knows what her students are up to, knows the answer to every question they ask her, and never shows fear even when in extreme mortal peril, as if she’s experienced this all before

Although we know she was in a rock band called the Frizzlettes and was a Shakespearean actress, Ms. Frizzle’s childhood remains mysterious

Ms. Frizzle is EXACTLY the sort of person to travel back in time to teach herself, and is in fact the most likely fictional character to do so

Nobody is ever named “Valerie Frizzle” at birth

Ms. Frizzle dresses queerly and laughs at her own bad jokes

A lot of the series is about Arnold learning to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy - that phrase is more or less targeted at him as a student

Here are some more “ambiguous” phrases which courts have found DO NOT invoke your right to a lawyer:

“Maybe I should speak to my lawyer first.”

“I might like a lawyer.”

“I think I should have a lawyer present for this.”

“Could I speak to my lawyer first?”

“How long until my lawyer gets here?”

And perhaps most egregiously – “Get me a lawyer, dawg – ‘cause this is not what’s up.”

Here are the magic phrases which you need to know if you want to invoke your Miranda rights:

1) “Am I free to leave?”

It’s worth asking this even if the answer is obvious. Even if the officer does not let you leave, by forcing them to admit that you are not free to leave, you are creating a record which your attorney can use to prove that you were in custody. Miranda rights only apply if the interrogation is custodial, meaning that police officers will frequently claim that their suspects were “not in custody” to get around their Miranda rights.

2) “I am invoking my right to remain silent.”

Simply staying silent will not invoke your right to remain silent. As absurd as this is, you must explicitly say that you are invoking your right to remain silent in order to invoke that right.

3) “I am invoking my right to an attorney.”

As stated above, you must be not only clear and unambiguous, but clear and legally unambiguous. Don’t get cute. Don’t get sassy. And on the flip side, don’t get intimidated and use verbal ticks to minimize your request. Say the line with those words exactly – say it clearly, and say it once, and then say nothing else.

Because even after you’ve done all this, the police can still try to get you to talk. They’re not supposed to interrogate you, but they’re allowed to make casual conversation, and if that conversation just happens to circle back around to the thing they wanted to question you about, well, that’s really your fault for talking after you said you wouldn’t, isn’t it? Can’t possibly fault the poor officers when you initiated – if you really wanted to have your rights respected, you wouldn’t have talked to them in the first place.

The police know this, and they will mercilessly exploit this loophole. So, once you’ve successfully invoked your Miranda rights, any and all conversation you have with police officers will put those rights back into jeopardy. 

Putting it all together:

Ask: “Am I free to leave?”

If they say no, say: “I am invoking my right to remain silent and I am invoking my right to an attorney.”

And then shut up and do not say a single thing to them for any reason whatsoever until you have actually spoken to an attorney. Yes, even if it takes hours. Yes, even if they start talking to you about something else.

Finally, a very important disclaimer:

Every single cop lies. Every single cop lies and manipulates and twists the situation around to get a confession. Even when they know that the person is innocent, even when they know that what they have isn’t enough to convict someone, even when they know that that confession has been made under duress or manipulation. All they care about is getting anything to put someone behind bars.

ALL cops are out to get you. They do not care about you, not do they care about proving your innocence. A cop’s primary concern is painting you as the villain and getting you behind bars so they can look like the fucking hero.

All cops are the fucking enemy, they will take any sound you utter and use it against you.

But can we talk about the psychological effects of testosterone though? The physical effects are always what people talk about, but that shit fucks with your brain, too.

Don't start it without a therapist to talk to and a doctor who knows what they're talking about. Seriously. The anger, the inability or difficulty accessing your emotions, the irritability, the sex drive spike. Yeah you'll look like your dad, but in a lot of ways you'll act like your dad, too, for better or worse, unless you have a system in place to help you with that.

Some things are meant to be thought through.

Some things are meant to take time.

might get cancelled for this, but y’all. you do realize that anger-issues, sex-obsession and lack of emotional awareness are mainly caused by the way some men are raised by society, right? not testosterone. like yeah the hormones will alter your brain chemistry a little bit but not like that.

i’ve seen way too many posts talking about how ‘men are emotionless monsters who only crave sex and violence’ or ‘men can’t feel love, they’re incapable of wanting genuine connection’ and all sorts of blatant misandry.

listen. some people, especially men, are told their whole lives that emotions are weak, that sex is a core value, and that anger is strong. they can internalize this belief, but they are not born that way.

it’s a societal problem, not men being inherently evil. it’s sexism (which heavily impacts everyone!).

taking testosterone won’t turn you into a violent horny monster. growing up being told that’s all you’ll ever be will.

i don’t mean to ignore men who do act horrible, i just don’t want little timmy growing up thinking he’s destined to be horrible and can’t change it. because honestly, most men are perfectly good people. if you go outside, 90% of the guys you see are average, honest, kind people. (note: this can vary a bit depending on the area, but my point stands: most people are good or neutral, we just don’t hear about them much online because they farm less engagement.)

some people suck. many people don’t. this applies to everyone, regardless of gender. being born with a Y chromosome or taking testosterone doesn’t make you a misogynistic asshole, it just makes you have certain physical characteristics.
