#and I find it fascinating tbh

"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.." MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.

i see a lot of debate on komaeda’s music taste, and i want you all to consider a komaeda that exclusively listens to classical music.

he doesn’t know what’s popular or mainstream, you pass him the aux chord and he starts playing shostakovich like it’s lady gaga. bed time? he puts on his night gown and cap and starts blasting prokofiev’s dance of the knights. class 77-b throws a party and everyone knows that komaeda added a song to the playlist because coriolan overture starts playing in the middle of rave music and he’s giggling and clapping his hands talking about how it represents despair vs hope

odysseus has "hurt more lives than i can count on my hands" which doesnt sound like a lot by our standards BUT the ancient greeks had a finger counting system that they got from the babylonians (probably a few middlemen there too but whatever) which is where WE get the base-twelve grouping names such as dozen and gross - they counted on each knuckle, which got up to twelve on one hand (a dozen) and by using the other hand as a "tens column" could get up to 144 (a gross) so the 600 of his own men, plus the infant prince, anyone he killed in the war, the cyclops, the sirens, calypso, and poseidon equal a whole lot more than 144 so yes, he hurt more lives than he can count on his hands.

penelope is from sparta and she was cunning on her own, so she was definitely into that shit ody had nothing to worry about 😆

my controversial tdv opinion is that mark seibert's krolock is good, actually. like i get why we clown on mark. i do. i do. but his krolock is actually. he's a bitch. he's a clown. he has the STRONGEST dad energy. he will PERFECTLY play the part of the lovestruck hero for sarah if that's what she wants and then will go and hiss at a bunch of vampires like they're misbehaving kittens.

other krolocks might have more consistent performances, but BECAUSE he switches it up so often it gives his krolock the feeling of being a fucking chameleon. he will lure you in by pretending to be so earnest and sincere and a little bit goofy and then he'll rip your throat out. and then he'll turn and go back to being a little goofy with his son.

Pike: You know, I once heard that sometimes you SHOULD defy your deity. It's good for you!

Vax: Who told you that?

Pike: A demon from literal Hell, why

Actually, after taking some time to think about it, I'm kind of glad they answered the alt!jmart question so quickly. I'm nervous enough about what they might do with Basira, Helen, Georgie, and the rest without also having to worry about the two former main characters on top of it all.

talking to someone at work today and—

them: i didn’t know there were star wars books!

—and i felt my face try and have like. eight expressions at once while still being tightly layered under my managerial worksona.

me: haha no yeah there’s a couple. anyway, what were we— no, real quick, you have to let me explain about legends

aro culture is obsessing over and glorifying fictional love and romance because you know this is closest you’ll get to actually being in touch with the concept yourself

mod comment: if you struggle with obsessive thoughts, aka something you just can’t shake and find distressing, here’s a helpful guide for some common practices around thought stopping.

I know this is a very unoriginal observation (much like any other), but I'm finally reading The Great Gatsby, and even I wouldn't describe men the way Nick does.

I think something that would be fascinating to explore (and that Heaven should really be aware of) is that Charlie isn't running the Hazbin Hotel and trying to get her people into Heaven because she *likes* Heaven. I mean, sure, she probably thinks Heaven is a fantastic place to be. Especially after her tour with Emily. But the main reason she's trying to get her people there is because she thinks they won't be getting murdered up top. Should that ever change, she won't be nearly as nice

That's why I made her ambition "Greed" in my Sinsmas 'fic! Charlie doesn't give a rat's ass about Heaven. Yes, she liked it while she was there, and it being nice is definitely a bonus for her, but the place itself is irrelevant. She just wants her people to be safe.

nhfjsdfjnh- rewatching movie clips- and i'm not gonna lie-

steven, i LOVE you, but

"as much as i've looooved dismantling the empire and saving all your planets" is the absolute most FULL of it possible way you could've ever stated this concept

it's probably for the best he stepped the fuck away and didn't "take" the throne as white and the others wanted him to, i really don't think he needed the ego boost

hate yttd twitter sm all they talk about is whether liking charachters or ships is morally ok or not and arguing like. y’all have no media literacy, a charachter is allowed to suck a lil but still be interesting like my GOD 😭

hello hello!!

learned about this fun thing called mycorrhizal fungi (myco=fungus), rhizal=root) which is complicated words used to describe the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi that grow on their roots. the fungi are called mycorrhiza and the long and short of it is that they attach to plants roots (plants roots can only grow so large, that's their root zone or rhizosphere big words are fun) and eventually they use up the nutrients in the soil in said root zone and some nutrients (namely phosphorus which is important for the plants to copy DNA and make nucleic acids that would tell other stuff how to make proteins etc for the plant to grow and stuff) don't move so the phosphorus in the rhizosphere cant be replenished once its used up. that's where the mycorrhiza come in. they effectively extend the area the roots are able to draw nutrients from and in return the plant produces glucose (through photosynthesis) that the mycorrhiza use as food because they cant really produce their own

tldr: cool fungus lives on plant roots, it makes sure the plant gets everything it needs, the plant allows the fungus to eat the food it makes

this train of thought led me to grian as mother spore

which led me to hunger au grian

and working out a symbiotic relationship with him and other people

which led me to the idea of him being a hireable like. hype man..

like,,, need help asking someone you like out on a date? he'll heighten your confidence so you can go do the thing and he gets lunch in the process! /silly

p.s. will gladly take blame for use of the word apricity :]

SKHWJDNEKDJKDBKWHDKEJDK REALLY FUNNY IMAGE, HELP... he's got one of those ads on facebook that pop up during the holidays for ppl who need to piss off their families /j /j

OKAY ACTUALLY FUN FACT but ive actually compared the Listeners to mycorrhizae before!!! In my head they are very fungal in nature, and thats the best way ive been able to describe the symbiotic relationship they have with the Players they fuse to. Honestly i love fungi and mycology in general, its such a deeply fascinating subject to pour a bunch of time into, and im glad you seem to be enjoying learning more about it!!! :DDD
