Low-level Dungeons & Dragons adventure where one of those big goofy skywhale things has died and crash-landed in the middle of town, and what initially appears to be a simple cleanup assignment abruptly takes a combat-heavy turn when the party gets to find out what feeds on skywhalefalls.

Dracula at the beginning of the novel

[meme-spren]

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"

One of the true losses of popular media moving away from ambiguous homosexuality as a signifier of evil is that we don't really get thematically coordinated pairs of villainous henchmen with weirdly intense chemistry anymore. I'm not saying we need to turn back the clock on villainous queer-coding in media, but that in particular I miss.

The first image is a CNN article with a photo of a hippo eating grass. The title reads 'High-speed hippos can get airborne, says new study'.

The second image is a screenshot of tags, reading: "#THAT IS A GREAT WAY OF WORDING THOSE STUDY RESULTS........ #fantastic #what theyre talking about is a study saying that when hippos run fast enough they have phases where all 4 limbs are off the ground #which isn't unheard of. other animals do it. including humans #also big cats. horses. any animal you picture running really fast #its just surprising to see it from hippos #and somehow every single headline about this study has been like #HEAVILY insinuating hippos can fly"

Ok so fish is the plural when it's only one species, and fishes is the plural when it's many species. But what about fishies? In what situation is that the plural?

Fishies is the plural when you feel whimsical and when there’s fishies

this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN

are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,

YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE

you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!

Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!
