Everyone when watching AvA 11 when victim was being tortured:

Nooooooooooooo! Alan you bastard! Victim deserves so much betteeeeeerr!

Me:

Heh....heheh- IS THAT A FUCKING STAIRS REFERENCE?!?!

Edit: it's called stairjump I just forgot, I wasn't even born yet... I have an excuse-

#I literally didn't see all the hidden Easter eggs and background lore first time #came to Tumblr and saw the yapping then I understood #But the stairs #IT HAS TO BE A REFERENCE #THE ORIGINAL VIDEO IS SO FUNNY #ava #animation vs animator #animator vs animation #alan becker #ava victim #animation #yes I did laugh while victim was being tortured....

ohhh… you guys are like… STUPID stupid

#you couldn’t pay me to admit tech illiteracy of this magnitude in public in a million years #for reference the warning they’re talking about not being able to navigate has two buttons #one that says yes continue and one that says no go back

when will we talk about the willful helplessness epidemic on here. So many people on this god forsaken website demand to have any and all things that exist outside their personal experiences directly, personally pre-chewed and spoonfed to them. And when you do, they'll then ask for you to swallow for them, too, because, you see, in THEIR experience..,

#this is about people who show up in the replies asking shit that has already been answered in the replies #this is about people who show up in reblogs asking people to explain very obvious things to them that'd take one second of listening to #others' experiences to be aware of #For the love of god if you're presented with information or turns of ohrase that conflict with your personal experience don't just sit down #Consider that perhaps things unlike you exist and that things that are one way for you may be different for others #This isn't difficult you just need to stop centering yourself as the only point of reference you have #you're not. There is so much more than you out there. And you can hold it and know it #you just need to get the FUCK OVER YOURSELF #fucking christ #mumblr #problemnyatic thoughts

something something three high guardsmen and a mentally unwell emo kid walk into an abandoned energon depot

inspired by this and this

#they put my chemical romance in megs’ playlist #i was too lazy to find a proper reference for their legs #starscream is extremely uncomfortable and also slightly disgusted by bots crying #i imagine this either puts him off or drastically escalates his power plays #avq art #transformers #transformers one #tf one #maccadam #soundwave #shockwave #starscream #megatron #d 16 #tf one spoilers #tf one megatron #girliepop has not yet learned how to suppress his trauma under 1000 layers of deep set resentment and anger

give me your complete and unwavering devotion.

#cant have a vampsona without some religious imagery #i love the dynamic of a god and a devotee #a servant completely and utterly devoted to her god and yet a god is nothing without its worshippers #still has that power imbalance yet that necessity of being together #yummiii #also i hope the three wise monkeys reference was clear !!!#its basically telling her to turn a blind eye on others. telling her to avoid having evil thoughts i.e. not being devoted etc #idk does that make sense ??? eh whatever thought it was p cool #𓆩♱𓆪 #my art #tw blood #hints of cannibalism if you squint hard enough

Meet the seven new frog species we just named after iconic Star Trek captains!

Artwork by A. Petzold, CC BY-ND 4.0

At the right time of year along rushing streams in the humid rainforests that stretch the length of Madagascar's eastern and northern mountain ridges, otherworldly trills of piercing whistles can be heard.

Are they birds? Insects? Communicator beeps? Tricorder noises?

No, they're little treefrogs!

Until recently, we thought all of the populations of these little brown frogs across the island were one widespread species, Boophis marojezensis, described in 1994. But genetics in the early 2000s and 2010s showed that there were several species here, not just one.

Now my colleagues and I have shown that they are in fact eight separate species, each with unique calls!

These whistling sounds reminded us so much of Star Trek sound effects that we decided to name the seven new species after Star Trek captains: Boophis kirki, B. picardi, B. janewayae, B. siskoi, B. pikei, B. archeri, and B. burnhamae.

Photos of all new species described by Vences et al. 2024. CC BY-SA 4.0

I subtly and not-so-subtly built some Star Trek references into the paper, but probably the best one is this one:

'Finding these frogs sometimes requires considerable trekking; pursuing strange new calls, to seek out new frogs in new forests; boldly going where no herpetologist has gone before.'

— Vences et al. 2024

There’s a real sense of scientific discovery and exploration here, which we think is in the spirit of Star Trek.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that there are at least two Trekkies amongst the authors (including yours truly). As fans of Star Trek, we are also just pleased to dedicate these new species to the characters who have inspired and entertained us over the decades.

On a personal note, this marks a milestone for me, as it means I have now described over 100 frog species! I am very pleased that the 100th is Captain Janeway's Bright-eyed Frog, Boophis janewayae (if you count them in order of appearance in the paper)—she is probably my favourite captain, and I really love Star Trek: Voyager.

You can read more about the discovery of these new species on my website! You can also read the Open Access paper published in Vertebrate Zoology here.

The Jamil Viper decision tree when he is (most unfortunately) caught off guard (please disregard the fact that he does in fact have a hood in the "object nearby" branch. he is simply panicked.)

#my art #twisted wonderland #twst #jamil viper #my favourite flustered loser boy #the cocoon is a dandadan reference btw if you can catch it #i realized he still had a hood while holding the frying pan and wanted to change it #then i went through his sprites and gave up #bc bro almost always has a hood 👹#anyways wonder what mayu did this time....

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #lost in the book with nightmare before christmas #hajimari no halloween #calling dibs on skeleton kisses as the name of my band #man scully is just a delightful little weirdo and i'm enjoying him immensely #(i'm going with scully until we get something official just because it makes me think of x-files)#(スカリー is also how the agent's name is transliterated and i don't know if it was intentional but i love it as a bonus reference)#(i want to believe™)#gosh though #'no one at school likes me because i won't shut up about halloween and jack skellington' i'm feeling VERY attacked right now twst #look scully your people are out there #just get on the forums and -- oh wait you're probably from like the 1800s or something #(my theory is that he's from the past and there's just some Book Magic going on to bring us together)#(LOOK they made a point of saying that the book fair has been held annually for a super long time)#a hot topic goth born before hot topic was invented...so sad 😔#i dunno i could be wrong but that feels like a good working theory for now #if it wasn't for mal sensing twsty ~magic~ on him i would think he's like. a christmas elf who's going to kidnap jack in a reverse-nmbc #(not ruling that out though because it would be amazing)#god all the sprites in this event look AMAZING. loving the desaturated colors and the extra drawn-on lines 😍#i'm genuinely kinda sad that we aren't gonna get to see every character like this #who knows...maybe halloweentown will be imperiled again next year...#come back and destroy my keys again please #(that said i'm doing weirdly well so far?)#(i promised i'd save for sebek and just do cursory pulls to get the SRs and not hope for the SSRs)#(...but then leona jumpscared me four coffins in anyway. halloween magic is REAL)
