I'm new to tumblr but seems good so far. I only choose the Title fond just because it has "gothic" in it's name

I've never understood the talk about the bees and the birds. I mean what are they doing in the bedroom. Swallowing each other whole?

I really enjoy having this post show up in my Tumblr thing that shows posts
every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

Better fitting and more practical clothes true (we have pockets!), but the cool and dramatic looking stuff is in the woman's section.
i promise no matter what your body type or assigned-sex-at-birth, u will always have a better chance of finding clothes that fit and look good if you check the men’s section first.

Recent studies show Corona leads to a distinctive T-Cell immunity. Does this mean it’s a T-Virus?

I know probably no one will read this, but I need you all to send me all of your chicken related memes like Diogenes “behold, a man” or shakespears “what, you egg! [stabs him]”.
I want to create art

I don’t know if Pokémon fans from english speaking countries are aware that many of the Pokémon names are “translated” to fit the language better.
For some reason I decided to go through all of the Pokémon and look for my favorite names in my native language german.
The entries in the list will be structured as follows:
german name [ pronunciation advice], name origin (english name)
Might I suggest to play a little game and try to guess the Pokémon from the german name and take the origin as a hint.
But now to the list
Pummeluff [”u”s are pronounced like “oo” but short], from “pummelig” engl. chubby and according to the Pokéwiki also “fluffig” engl. fluffy, but i don’t really see that (it’s of course the beloved Jigglypuff)
Mauzi [as you’d think, maybe the z a little bit sharper than usual], Well it’s the sound of a cat, what did you think (It’s team rockets Meowth)
Snobilikat [ the first syllable ends after the o, “kat” is pronounced similar to “cut”], From “Snob”, “nobilis” (latin for famous, glorious) and “Katze” (Cat) (since I make this list in Pokédex order you might already guessed Persian)
Quapsel [the a like the a in Naruto], From “Quappe (or the loner version ‘Kaulquappe’)” engl . tadpole (It’s Poliwag)
Kleinstein [like Einstein just with Kl], literally “little stone” (well it’s Geodude)
Sleimok [like slime only the m belongs to mog], pretty close to english, because “Sleim” is closer to “slime” than to the german translation “Schleim” and “Mocke” apparently is a dialect word for mud related to the english word “muck” (I already wrote the name, Muk)
Nebulak [even though an english pronunciation would sound cool as well in the correct one the u would be like “oo” just short and “lak” like “Jak” just with L], The wiki sais it’s latin (nebula) but the german word “Nebel” makes sense too. both mean “fog” (It’s Gastly. " ghastly “ is a fun word because like “gift” it sounds like a german word but means the opposite (in german “gastlich” means ‘hospitabl’ and “Gift” is Poison or venom)
Traumato [the “au” sound is hard to discribe but some people in pain make it], From “Traum” (engl. dream) and “Tomato” jk. “tomato” would be “Tomate” in german. it’s rather from “traumatisch” (engl traumatic) (with two dream related Word parts you can bet it’s Drowzee
Owei [the “ei” like in Einstein], again the wiki tells me partly latin with “Ovum” and “Ei” (latin and german word for egg) but also a word play with “auwei” similar to “oh dear” but a little bit more neagativ (how many egg related Pokémon are there? well at least two but this one is Exeggcute)
Schlurp [ Shloorp (”sch” is pronounced like “sh” and “u” like “oo”)] , it’s a wet sound with air... like if you drink through a straw (an other name close to an english word (slurp). the english name though is Lickitung)
Smogon [the “o”s a little bit flat. more like oe], Obviosly from Smog and the wiki sais another word but that’s a bit Farfetch’d ( It’s Koffinf)
Goldini [as you’d think], it’s from Goldfisch and mini but i like to pronounce it like an italian ( I didn’t bother to translate anything, because everything is nearly as obvious as that this is Goldeen)
Pantimos [ “pant” like “(to) pant” in a british accent], “Pantomime” is mime in german (at least as obvios as Goldini, it’s Mr. Mime. This is one if not the only one that I choose just because I like this better than the english one)
Evoli [the “i” as “ee”], Evolution is the same word in german ( apparently we are in the obvious part of the names because it’s Eevee)
Aquana [that’s latin], as I said, it’s latin for water (a bit harder, bacause there are more then one water Pokémon. It’s Vaporeon. you might be suprised because there isn’t the -eon as the ending of all eveelutions, but in german the ending is just -a)
Flamara [the “a”s like the a in Naruto], from “Flamme” engl “flame” (some words actually mean what they sound like) (that’s Flareon)
Amonitas [the a like the a in Naruto or like “Amon Amarth” if you like death metal], Same name origin as the english one. Ammmonit, one of my favorite dead shelled animals (we’re back to obvious names. Amonitas is Omanyte, but I like the german name more)
Lavados [as you’d think], apparently from Lava and “dos”. why is there a spanish two? I have no Idea. (the english name is Moltres. Why it’s now a spanish three? I have still no idea)
Fluffeluff [”u”s like a short “oo”], the cutest Pokémon name, especially if you make the vowels as short as possible. The name comes from “fluffelig” or “fluffig” which translates to...you guessed it... fluffy (as you might remember the first entrance in this list was Pummeluff (Jigglypuff) and that sounds a bit like Fluffeluff. That s of course due to the fact that Fluffeluff is Igglybuff)
Waaty [If you’d say this name when your denstist works with you, they’d be proud], combination of Watt and something other (the wiki can’t decide) but maybe it’s “Watte” actually cotton wool, or “baa” as the sound of a sheep. So it’s a Electric Sheep... ELECTRO SHEEP... ELECTRO SHEEP (I think there’s more then one electro sheep in Pokémon, but this one is Flaaffy)
Hoppspross [the second o should sound exactly like the first one], “hopp” or the verb “hopsen” are exactly what they sound like and “Spross(e)” is a scion or shoot (of a plant) (they just changed one word from pip to scion. yeah, its Hoppip)
Well that’s not the complete list, but I’m exhausted so I’ll continue this list an other time.
Until then I’d really like to hear some Pokémon names in your language in your language, because language is interesting. And of course if you like the geman names. I personally think, some names suck, but many of them sound pretty good and are much more telling for a german child then the english ones

Since it's pretty possible that there will be Dino clones at some point in the next 50 years (rough prediction by me) someone in like 100 years or so will discover the Jurassic park movies. Their first thought will be "oh, they made a documentary about those horrible events" shifting to "wait... Those movies came out even before it was possible to clone Mammuts successfully?" and then to "they KNEW this would happen and STILL CLONED DINOS???".
And then they receive a strange signal from an uninhabited planet but when they arrive they only find a space shipwreck. No living creature anywhere around, but some kind of unknown egg shaped object and they will think "we should take these to our ship to study them, what's the worst that can happen
