There are many animals I expect to see in caves, but I can confidently say that this was not one of them.
“How can you not be angry?”
“I am angry,” the werewolf said. “But unlike you, I don’t have the luxury of showing it without being called a monster. Without someone taking it as a sign of proof that I need to be put down like a rabid dog, that I’m just like what the stories tell you.”
“But everyone gets angry…that’s human.”
“Up until the point when you’re not human.”
such a wonderful metaphor for anyone Othered by society
i had an idea. and that was it
let me tell you- this is the funniest thing i've gotten. and i will cherish this
also the idea in question wasn't super well executed
me when i have 5 arms:
won't beef with people younger than me because that's embarrassing for me. won't beef with people older than me because that's embarrassing for them. won't beef with people my age because i know we both have better shit to be doing. peace and lovr on planet earth
Google Ambient Chaos if you ever need background noises for writing! It's a customizable soundscape website.
Anon, when I first saw this ask, I thought it was going to be one of those mixers of nice, traditional sounds, like rain or a coffeeshop. And it is! And there’s lofi hiphop, my favorite sound to write to! Which means this is legitimately an excellent tool for writers, and I love you for introducing it to me.
But I also want to say. There are some choices here. That I need to point out. Because they’re either fantastic or questionable, and I can’t decide.
Things like …
Couple arguing.
ALTMedieval battle.
ALTBeehive, where you can write to a fuckton of bees.
ALTCrime scene.
ALTAnd actually the perfect soundscape for NaNoWriMo.
ALTSomebody found this last week and reminded me it existed, so I'mma bring it back to this blog because it's about ten days until some of you will need that last one. :D
I'm never using any other noise generator ever again.
Au where everything’s the same.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I've gotta say that there is no better achievement as a neurodivergent person than hyperfixating on a character for so long that you are known as "the 'insert character name here' person"
sometimes people try to tell me that scientists are paragons of rationality and I have to break it to them that I have yet to work in a lab that didn’t have at least one weird secret shrine in it
new guy: why is all of the equipment in this room covered in toys?
me: dONn’t touch those
new guy:
me: they need the toys to function. if they don’t all have toys they get jealous.
new guy:
new guy:
me: when something breaks just take the wizard and wave it around for a while. they seem to like that.
Science is rational, scientists are human.
In Taiwan we have a special brand of snacks named 乖乖 (literally means “well behaved” but in a casual way like when one’s compliment a child or a pet of being good) that has green package.
It has become the lucky charm in the IT industry because engineers believe it will make machine acting good (like the name of the snack) and stay in green light (like the color of the snack’s package) when a 乖乖 is put on top of a server.
It is the only food allowed in a server room and the biggest semicondoctor company in Taiwan (which is also the biggest worldwide) even commissioned the snack factory to make a customized version with blessing on the package.
This is how a server room is blessed by 乖乖. You put at least one on top of each server. It’s important that the engineers change them before the expire date because legend says the snack looses it’s power after expire date.
You’ll hear engineers swearing up and down that their server room
crushed down the one time they forgot to change the snack. Or some
newbie ate the forbidden snack put on top of their server and caused a
disastrous crush down.
The 乖乖 religion later spread to all people who want their machine to act nice. In the lab we put 乖乖 on ultra-low freezer (you really don’t want it to drop dead along with your 2 years’ worth of sample/data), mass
spectrometer etc.
When Taiwan’s about to launch the first self made satellite in 2017, the develop team even put 乖乖 around the satellite model to prey for a successful launch (it did). This shit is real.
Broke: Humans are inherently good
Broke: Humans are inherently evil
Woke: Humans are, for good or evil, inherently ridiculous
Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke waiting for a take while filming the Silver Blaze episode at Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse in Wales, 1988.
This is your reminder that fandom is always more powerful and more enduring than canon. We never needed them to validate us before and we sure as fuck don't need them to now. All the things you felt before are still real. Go forth. Create. Fix. Heal.
They give us the bones.
We make the soup.
And it's good fucking soup.

Ah, they're probably coming up next! I don't recognise the performance off the top of my head, but doing ballet is HELLISHLY INTENSE and doing it without your muscles througly warmed up is just asking for injured tendrons. In between scenes the dancers literally can't sit still for too long or their muscles will cool down, or worse, cramp up, and if they're not changing costumes they're usually stretching, vigorously massaging their legs and, like here, bouncing around to the tune.
So this is a perfectly natural ballerina behavior. They're just keeping warm and bonding. 👍
I love how the last line has the exact cadence of a "is the ballerina video cute" blog
these ballerinas are not distressed and this in fact good enrichment for ballerinas when confined outside their natural habitat (the stage)
These pictures are killing me
