Doing silly things

“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

Good Job.

do you think no one else has time travel

Happy one month anniversary to this post that has not allowed me a single day of fucking peace since I made it.

wow if only you had a time machine

Honestly having reached a billion notes I think it’s safe to say that in the Year of our lord 2041, this is the most popular tumblr post out there.

I’m killing your parents before you’re born

:)

Still here, why’d you hesitate @derinthescarletpescatarian

Your mum’s ability to hold up under active gunfire was really hot. I’m your dad now.

Isn’t that the plot of Terminator

Where do you think the plot for Terminator came from?

This is such a classic trainwreck post that has the vibes of a 2014 screenshot posted to Pinterest and then the last addition is just last Tuesday I can’t even

Imagine how I feel

It doesn’t have to

Yes it does.

Of course it has to, it gets a billion notes in 2041

What if oxygen is poisonous and it just takes 75-100 years to kill us?

My science teacher said he thinks that’s true actually

Yeah this is actually pretty much exactly what is going on. It’s why anti-oxidants are such a big deal. Bonus fact: oxygen oxidizes stuff in your cells or, in other words, it’s not toxic, just setting you on fire very very slowly.

What if there are aliens out there but they subsist on entirely different substances and they’re just scared as shit of us and our crazy ass hell planet? Once in a while some alien anthropologist type suggests checking out the people on this inhabited planet out towards the galaxy’s edge. The other aliens just look at the naive academic with horror. No!! We do not go to that world. That is where the DEATH BREATHERS live. They recreationally consume poisons and are more or less composed of biological fire. Their atmosphere is made of rocket fuel. We must leave the DEATH BREATHERS in peace. Do not go there. Do not.

I tend to always reblog posts about humans being terrifying weirdos to aliens.

@brainsforbabyjesus

OH HOW I LOVE THIS POST. It makes me so much happier about being alive. I AM BURNING VERY SLOWLY. *hugs it*

And once again, the internet makes learning history and science a thousand times more interesting than school ever did.

I love shit like this.

I was totally having thoughts along these lines and along comes tumblr to pretty much sum it all up. Bravo~

And they were roommates

Had a conversation earlier about whether Temeraire counts as Young Adult, and I feel fairly confident no, it's adult fiction. Not to say it's not perfectly approachable by teenagers-- in fact, I believe a great deal of adult fiction is, that's why we teach it in schools-- but just that I think that was Novik's intention, and its born out by its language, style, and primary themes. All that said-- if we can imagine an alternative version of the series entirely from Temeraire's POV, and that has the potential to be the purest YA that ever YAed. "Hi, my name is Temeraire. No last name, I don't need one. I'm named after one of the most magnificent sailing ships ever, because my captain won my egg in naval battle. Egg? Oh, I suppose I forgot to mention; I'm a dragon. In fact, I'm the only black dragon in all of Britain. My captain-- who's a gentleman, by the way-- and I went to a special dragon training school. The other dragons made fun of me at first because I look different, but I earned their friendship by showing off my keen intelligence, combat prowess, and my special sonic blast abilities that no other dragon has. Now I'm on a journey across the ocean, because it turns out I'm a secret Chinese prince. But despite by noble lineage, I refuse to stay only to enjoy those royal luxuries-- British dragons are being discriminated by a system that views us as little more than rabid animals, and I must lead my fellows to revolution!"

JESUS IS DEAD ! JESUS IS DEAD ! SATAN RULES AND JESUS IS DEAD !!!

WHERE THE FUCK IS HE

the sign in button?

fagging out in these most treacherous of conditions

book 1 laurence "looked the other way" at the abuse and neglect that rankin was inflicting upon levitas. however! i fully believe that book 9 laurence would have just quietly given temeraire the thumbs up to radicalize and liberate levitas, which sure is a specific kind of characterization

??????

@bronzong-detector let’s find out

Sometimes I can still hear their voice

I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it's a blogging platform with social features.

I like the use of Metroman here because if there's one thing Tumblr users collectively agree on it's that we want everyone to think we're dead

UM NAOMI NOVIK I WOULD LIKE A HAND WRITTEN APOLOGY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO LEVITAS

The funniest of the Golden Age drabbles is Emily trying to fuck Demane, Demane going refusing bc "he won't dishonor her" and Emily blaming Laurence over it.
