“Hey Goediun, did you finish- ah hell, not MORE earth wildlife.”

“This planet’s completely fucked up Clyod.”

“What the fuck are THOSE?” Guenoid demanded, peering over his co-worker’s mass to squint at the pojection.

“Third-most dominant carnivore on the planet.”

“Yeah but what’s the little thing next to it?”

“Same species.”

“You’re emusifying me.”

“Absoultely not.  This thing’s got the genetics from hell.  Apparently they just have hundreds if not thousands of copies of any gene they might need and can suffer drastic radiation, inbreeding or rapid enviornmental selection and come out mostly functional organisms.  Both of these are actually pretty far from the species average- here, this is a more common specimen.”

“Oh that’s not so bad-”

“Remember how the Humans are Pursuit predators?”

“Oh no.  Don’t tell me it can do that endless “Fun Run” Human-Steve did last year for the Beeblebrox Children’s Hospital?”

“It can!”  Goeduin writhed gleefully at his partner’s discomfort. “They can do continuous runs for hundreds of miles through the polar regions of the planet, and at tremendous speed!  Some of them have a sustainable gallop of over 50 miles per hour!”

“What’s that in civilized Units?”

“uuuuhhh… 210?”

“FUCK.” shouted Clyod, collapsing back into the sleeping tank, though he suspected that there would be no rest for him this cycle as images of the wretched earth creature pursuing him flashed through his ganglian network.

“They’ve got a bite strength that can snap through our building materials and even human bone!” Goeduin continued, vibrating with the kind of wild humor that belied genuine terror.  “Thier senses are even more accute than Human-Steve’s!  It’s got his entire hearing range and then up into our ‘hypersonic’ vocal range!”

“Great, it can tear me apart after hearing me talk smack. Terrific.”  Clyod sighed, dedicating himself to another round of nightmares.

“And it’s Chemosensitivity! They can track prey by the oils left from the prey’s footsteps for MILES!  they can even track scents through the air and underwater or buried in in six feet of ‘concrete’!”

“Good grief.  With compettion like that, it’s no wonder the humans are so barbaric.  Please tell me it’s stupid.”

“They’re comparable to juvenile humans in terms of reasonaing capacity and may be more socially intelligent than adult humans, living in communal groups that can have DOZENS of members.  Also they hunt in packs.”

“WHY??” Clyod begged “Why do you even subject yourself, and furthermore, why subject ME to this kind of knowledge?  I won’t be able to rechage and be all gross and floppy in the morning.”

“Human-Steve is getting one.”

“…Pardon?”

“Humans keep them as domestic companions.  Apparently they’re socially intelligent enough to get humans to raise and feed thier young for life.”

“and.  Human-Steve.  Is taking on one of these?  He’s not worried about it eating him?”

“He said it might nibble on his appendages while it’s teething but that the one his parents kept when he was an infant-”

“HIS PARENTS HAD A DANGEROUS CARNIVORE IN HIS HOME WHILE HE WAS AN INFANT?”

“He showed me many images of them playing and cuddling together.  They are quite fond of human children, and not just as snacks.”

“Please tell me he’s getting the little kind.”

“He’s getting a variety called a “Siberian Husky”.  He said it was very fluffy.”

7 Ancient Ruins Around The World “Reconstructed” with GIFs 

In these GIFs made for Expedia by NeoMam and Thisisrender, seven architectural wonders are reconstructed into their original form, allowing us to see how the ruins visible today developed from the initial structures in all their glory.

Identified from the top:

The Parthenon Athens, Greece / 432 BC

Luxor Temple Luxor, Egypt / 1380 BC

Nohoch Mul Pyramid (Coba) Quintana Roo, Mexico / 100 BC-100 AD

Temple of Jupiter Pompeii, Italy / 200 BC

Milecastle 39 (Part of Hadrian’s Wall) Northumberland, England / 100 AD

The Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacán Teotihuacan, Mexico / 200 CE

Area Sacra di Largo Argentina—Temple B Rome, Italy / 101 BC

The strongest warlock in all the land uses his power to constantly kidnap the princess. Most people believe it’s because he’s in love with her, but they have it all wrong. He’s in love with the knight who always comes to save her.

The royal family employs no bodyguards. A would-be assassin discovers why.

You drop a small piece of food on the floor, and decide to kick it under the oven/couch/whatever because you can’t be bothered to pick it up. As you’re walking away, you hear a very quiet “Thank you!” from under it.

my storytelling final! or, that week i almost went blind cross-hatching!

it’s a couple weeks old at this point, but i’m still proud of it (all that cross-hatching…) even though looking back at it now i can see a ton of flaws or things i just could’ve done better. maybe i’ll redo it one day.

the page colors are kind of wonky because they’re photographs; i didn’t have a scanner big enough for the pages.

hell yeah monster/human friendships

You are the wind’s interpreter. What’s it saying?

Fic idea I was struck with the other day and keep thinking about: a Vulcan adopts a cat.

Humans are unstoppable...Until they aren’t.

I’m not the most eloquent writer, but I’ve had this idea kicking around for a while and figured I’d put it out into the universe.

A lot of the basis for the “humans are space orcs” stuff is the idea that we’re pretty durable compared to many species, yeah? When it comes to physical trauma, we can bounce back from most things that don’t kill us outright, especially given the benefit of hypothetical space-age technology, and adrenaline is one heck of a drug when it comes to functioning under stress. 

But that doesn’t make us unkillable, and even though we can survive debilitating injuries and not die from shock, it doesn’t mean it’s fun. Dying of shock sucks, but at least it’s probably quick.

So - Imagine a ship, adrift in space, slowly being drawn into a star or something. In order to save the ship, someone has to repair the hyper-quantum-relay-majig on the hull or in the engine or whatever. Bit of a problem though- there’s a ton of deadly, deadly radiation (Wrath of Khan style) or poisonous fumes or, I dunno, electrical current, between the crew and the repair. Like, enough to kill most species instantly, so the crew is just like, ‘welp, guess we’ll die then’. But then.

BUT THEN

They ask the human. Because everyone’s heard the stories - you’re basically unkillable, right? Could you survive long enough in there to fix it? And their human goes real quiet for a second, but still says ‘Yeah, I could fix it’. And the rest of the crew is like, ‘Whaaaaaa, it won’t kill you?’ and the human repeats “I can fix it” (which isn’t an answer, but no one catches that, not yet at least), so they send ‘em in. And the human fixes it, they come back, the ship flies to safety, and the crew is thrilled to survive. If the human is a little quiet, well, they’re entitled after pulling off a miracle. Everyone else is just excited to get to the nearest station’s bar to tell their very own human story, cuz, ‘those crazy humans, amiright?’.

The good mood keeps up until the human is late for their next shift. At first it’s just faint unease, but- but they earned a bit of a lie-in, right? No reason to begrudge them some extra rest, even if it is a little weird for them to oversleep. They’ll be fine. Humans are always fine. 

(Right?)

(…Wrong.)

- What is… help. Help!-

- ake up! You have t-

- been days. You need sleep, you-

- nother transfusion. We could-

- out of sedatives!-

A week later, the crew finally reaches the station. They stumble into the bar, haggard and haunted. And over the next months and years a new rumor about humans starts to make its way through space. A rumor unlike any before.

‘Be careful with your humans’ it whispers. ‘Their strength is not always a blessing. Be sure they don’t do something they can’t come back from, because when a human dies… they die slowly.’

Everyone who’s been talking to me knows i’ve been working on this comic about wlws and cats for a while and i’m so so happy it’s finally here!!! :D

idea stolen from this post :’3

[kookiehao]

humans inviting aliens to visit earth after a long mission and aliens being really excited to go and see the infamous planet that led to the development of such universally renown species but get one look at the ocean and are just. what the fuck is that. 

and humans are like oh yeah we don’t fuck with that

and aliens are like you literally hop galaxies with little to no understanding of what you’ll find but you won’t venture into your own aquatic abyss?

and humans simply say scan it

five kicks later and aliens say fuck that fuck that fuck that what the fuck how are you all alive let’s go back to the black holes

seventeen’s semicolon teasers but make it 70s

What’s encrypting your internet surfing? An algorithm created by a supercomputer? Well, if the site you’re visiting is encrypted by the cyber security firm Cloudflare, your activity may be protected by a wall of lava lamps.

Cloudflare covers websites for Uber, OKCupid, & FitBit, for instance. The wall of  lamps in the San Francisco headquarters generates a random code. Over 100  lamps, in a variety of colors, and their patterns deter hackers from accessing data.  

As the lava lamps bubble and swirl, a video camera on the ceiling monitors their unpredictable changes and connects the footage to a computer, which converts the randomness into a virtually unhackable code.

Codes created by machines have relatively predictable patterns, so it’s possible for hackers to guess their algorithms, posing a security risk. Lava lamps, add to the equation the sheer randomness of the physical world, making it nearly impossible for hackers to break through.

You might think that this would be kept secret, but it’s not. Simply go in and ask to see the lava lamp display. By allowing people to affect the video footage, human movement, static, and changes in lighting from the windows work together to make the random code even harder to predict.

So, by standing in front of the display, you add an additional variable to the code, making it even harder to hack. Isn’t that interesting?

1.  I have 2 chinchillas! One’s female and the other is male and they have had some babies along the way but we had to give the babies away cos we didn’t have the resources to keep so many chins. They are nearing their middles ages now and unfortunately had to be separated :((( any further pregnancies can cause harm to the female chin :(((

2.  I love angst. I seriously do. All the characters and ships I like are so damn angsty. And my all-time favourite songs and fics are also damn angsty. I’m not really an angsty person, my life is pretty chill but boy do I love angsty stuff.

3.  Went through some personal stuff/conflicts over the last 2-3 years and that’s why I kinda went MIA for that time but now things have cleared and freed up so I’m back on tumblr :)

4. I am a sucker for sentimental family scenes, they always get me. I cry a lot when watching such scenes T_T esp that marriage montage scene in Up omg…that is such a tear-jerker. Special mention to cm s11 ep 18 , Derek Morgan leaving the BAU made me bawl like a baby like I’ve never cried that much for any character :(

5. I really love sleeping. When I wake up, all I look forward to is the time when I can just lie down and sink into my bed…ahhhh bliss…ok this has tempted me imma lie down and sleep now bye guys zzzzzzz
