official vampire post

Listen, it's a common mistake. That being said, despite their similarities, clowns and vampires are natural enemies.

Interesting choice on behalf of the creators- having John ( in Sherlock’s head ) point out Sherlock’s ‘feelings’ for lady Carmichael and then foreshadow what happens to Mary through Eustes.

Interesting. Intriguing- that they had lady Carmichael as a parallel to John. And that they explicitly call out Sherlock having feelings for her. Also interesting that this is all in his head. So Interesting, what he says about lady Carmichael in the context of her being a parallel to John.

Interesting that Sherlock used Irene Adler to prove that love is a fatal flaw in the very episode we get some of the cutest Johnlock moments. Interesting that the episode right before that one, shows John risking his life for Sherlock and vice versa.

Interesting that in Sherlock’s head, John is so brilliant he knows he’s not real. Not even Sherlock figured that out in his own head.

Interesting that the episode after Johns wedding is the first time we see Sherlock high. Interesting that Sherlock has proven to be a great actor time and time again and yet did not just fake being high for the case. Interesting that Mary likes Sherlock and Sherlock likes Mary. Interesting that they have a bond over loving the same man.

Interesting Mary says the ‘the man we both love’ and doesn’t specify that Sherlock’s love is platonic. Interesting that Mary says ‘neither of us where the first’. Interesting that Mary was the first one to show Sherlock any sympathy when he came back- as if she can see Sherlock does care. As if she sees something that others don’t. As if she recognizes the feeling behind his eyes.

Interesting that Sherlock risked being sent on a mission he would surly die on just to make sure John stayed happy. Interesting that Sherlock thought John would be happy when he came back.

Interesting he almost expected the reaction of a dog. Like redbeard. Like when a dogs owner comes back and they are so happy to see them again. Like how, despite death, a dog still waits. Interesting, all of John’s parallels to redbeard- interesting idea that Sherlock’s mind has a jumbled mess of dog and freind- interesting when you look at it.

It’s all so interesting if you dig.

… Sherlock always loved John. They told us. Again and again and again and again- it had to be intentional. If it’s not- it’s one hell of a case of accidental renaissance- because the sheer beauty of it. The writing- the psychology- it’s all so perfect. It’s so heart breaking if you just look.

I find it so hard to believe that a show about the little details- the show that spent 3 seasons dropping redbeard hints- the show that knows it’s main character is not a sociopath but allows him to label himself as one anyway because that’s what his character would do- I find it so hard to believe that they didn’t mean to slip us these clues. These little hints.

This show has the best foreshadowing and parallels I’ve ever seen. The most clever- well shot- well acted- well researched show I’ve seen in a very long time.

They know. They wrote it in. They weren’t just going to tell us where they? Of course not.

Sherlock would never admit it. Ever. He spent a whole episode proving that admitting your love for someone is a mistake- feeling love in any way is a flaw. Having him say it- having anyone say it at any point would not make any sense. People poke fun at them in the show- point out how much they care but God forbid anyone actually asks.

Because they don’t need to.

Everyone but John knows that Sherlock is in love with him.

Even the writers.

The H5N1 (bird flu) virus is going around, and cats are proving especially susceptible to it. A big cat sanctuary in Washington state had TWENTY of their big cats (cougars, tigers, etc) die of bird flu.

There have also been cases of indoor-only domestic cats getting sick or even dying of bird flu after contracting it from raw cat food. And of course coming into contact with birds also puts your cat at risk.

To keep your cat safe:

Keep them away from birds, preferably keeping them entirely inside. If they are indoor-outdoor then remove any bird feeders from your yard to make cat-bird contact less likely.

Do NOT feed them raw food of any sort, including freeze-dried raw food. Freezing will not kill the virus!

A lot of raw pet food companies are using PR speak to assure customers that their raw food is safe. Remember that at the end of the day their priority is to make money and stay in business. Unless they are testing every bird carcass for the virus their assurances are meaningless, and they certainly are not testing every bird because it would be too expensive.

Cooking kills most viruses and bacteria, including H5N1.

Men love me for my cadaver swag. The way my skin is cold like a corpse, my off-putting demeanor, and the way I stand in the threshold of the still-living and the dead.

So Venus is my favorite planet in the solar system - everything about it is just so weird.

It has this extraordinarily dense atmosphere that by all accounts shouldn't exist - Venus is close enough to the sun (and therefore hot enough) that the atmosphere should have literally evaporated away, just like Mercury's. We think Earth manages to keep its atmosphere by virtue of our magnetic field, but Venus doesn't even have that going for it. While Venus is probably volcanically active, it definitely doesn't have an internal magnetic dynamo, so whatever form of volcanism it has going on is very different from ours. And, it spins backwards! For some reason!!

But, for as many mysteries as Venus has, the United States really hasn't spent much time investigating it. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, sent no less than 16 probes to Venus between 1961 and 1984 as part of the Venera program - most of them looked like this!

The Soviet Union had a very different approach to space than the United States. NASA missions are typically extremely risk averse, and the spacecraft we launch are generally very expensive one-offs that have only one chance to succeed or fail.

It's lead to some really amazing science, but to put it into perspective, the Mars Opportunity rover only had to survive on Mars for 90 days for the mission to be declared a complete success. That thing lasted 15 years. I love the Opportunity rover as much as any self-respecting NASA engineer, but how much extra time and money did we spend that we didn't technically "need" to for it to last 60x longer than required?

Anyway, all to say, the Soviet Union took a more incremental approach, where failures were far less devastating. The Venera 9 through 14 probes were designed to land on the surface of Venus, and survive long enough to take a picture with two cameras - not an easy task, but a fairly straightforward goal compared to NASA standards. They had…mixed results.

Venera 9 managed to take a picture with one camera, but the other one's lens cap didn't deploy.

Venera 10 also managed to take a picture with one camera, but again the other lens cap didn't deploy.

Venera 11 took no pictures - neither lens cap deployed this time.

Venera 12 also took no pictures - because again, neither lens cap deployed.

Lotta problems with lens caps.

For Venera 13 and 14, in addition to the cameras they sent a device to sample the Venusian "soil". Upon landing, the arm was supposed to swing down and analyze the surface it touched - it was a simple mechanism that couldn't be re-deployed or adjusted after the first go.

This time, both lens caps FINALLY ejected perfectly, and we were treated to these marvelous, eerie pictures of the Venus landscape:

However, when the Venera 14 soil sampler arm deployed, instead of sampling the Venus surface, it managed to swing down and land perfectly on….an ejected lens cap.

Percy at ease

Percy calm, but a little on edge

Percy when mildly angry

Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.

No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.

But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.

like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord

One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.

Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.

And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.
