@hellsitegenetics
I love them
I didn't know I needed to know that the weed-smoking girlfriends post was genetically a wolf, but I did, and I do. Also puts great stuff on my dash.
it’s so fun to be scrolling unhinged posts and then boom. an organism!
so many moths‼ also, unexpected comedy with some of the matches
perfect blend of silly and informative, and makes for an excellent punchline at the end of a long post. puts creatures on my dash. literally what more could you ask for
It's a really unique blog concept and a lot of times the results are pretty funny. It's great when the sequence matches the post content too!
Creatures 👍
Finds beautiful creatures out of the mess of the hellsite
Offers finality AND gives us a creechur.
I love them. English speakers talk like moths
If this blog wins, they could run the text of the winning announcement, and determine the post's genus and species!
They're also very good about tagging the type of creature depicted in the results, so as long as you mute tags of creatures you don't want to see, it's a very fun time seeing iconic legacy posts (and new submissions) being reduced down to a string of letters and assigned a random species of fish or moth or something!
uhh it’s cool
BLAST
There are so many weird bugs in the world
Yippee!!
If, as Haldane said, God has an inordinate fondness for beetles, then surely this blog proves that Tumblr has an inordinate fondness for moths.
Top tier blog as a geneticist, I love seeing obscure organisms and MOTH
Admin got rate limited after trying to blast the bee movie
the knowledge of biology to pull this off (i have taken one biology class in my life) and also the work to find all the strings honestly deserves quite a bit of praise
This gimmick blog has it all: science, pictures of animals, interaction with the text of other peoples' posts, interesting information, and a unique and fun premise. As a biologist, I'm rooting for hellsitegenetics to reach the end and take the tournament, because it is truly a standout among gimmick blogs.
If they win, perhaps this blog too shall become a cool organism :3

Survey #231
too lazy to even think of song lyrics to put, just have this
Do bridges make you nervous? Somewhat. Are there any movies that you find so dumb, you find funny? Aha, Napoleon Dynamite. Do you have any older siblings? Four + one I don't know. How often do you vacation? Pretty much never. Are you currently having any cellular problems? My phone is ACTUAL horse shit. Have you ever tried to meet up with someone from online? With Sara, multiple times now. :') It'd be fantastic if when I go to South Africa I can meet Shaylee when I visit to the KMP, and my other friend Alyssa knows how badly I wanna meet Mark, so she insists on me going with her one day if he ever goes back to PAX East. I'd love to meet Connie, too. If you could have any car right now, what would you want exactly? Eh, I don't know car types. Something medium/smallish (I don't want very small for safety reasons) that's either burnt orange or red and just pretty and sleek. Do you think it’s cruel to leave a live fish to die in an ice box? Um???????? YEAH????????????????? Have you ever done anything sexual with someone of the same sex? Yeah. Do you collect issues of a certain magazine? No. Have you ever pawned anything off at a pawn shop? Nah. Do you have stomach abs? Ha, I wish. Do you know anyone who is trying to physically impersonate a celebrity? No, but oh my god, so my friend Leon, right? He looks UNCANNILY like Leon Kennedy (WEIRD name coincidence????) from the Resident Evil series so much that he dressed as him one day. The resemblance is fucking unbelievable, especially when his hair was longer in the front. Do you have the Bakery Story app? Haven't heard of it. Do you watch Sister Wives? Haven't heard of that, either. How do you feel about polygamy? It's definitely not for me, but if it's KNOWINGLY between a consenting, happy group of people, you do you, man. Just hardcore practice safe sex. Have you ever seen a shuttle launch? No. What would your parents say is the worst thing you’ve ever done? I haven't got a clue. I'd assume Mom would probably say me texting her "fuck you" even though she deserved it. Dad, probably the letter I wrote him after the divorce. Are we having signs of the apocalypse? I don't even remember the Biblical signs besides like, swarms of locusts and humanity's focus shifting to materialism. I say rather we're having actually scientific signs of a mass extinction coming in the next few centuries, probably, or sooner. Historically, we're extremely overdue for one, anyway. Global warming, the ozone, overpopulation, pollution... you know, all that jazz. We're killing the earth. Would you rather see The Blue Man Group or Fear Factor live? Blue Man Group. Do you have any vintage clothing? Man, I wish. Are you glad to accept any certain person’s hand-me-downs? "As long as it fits and it’s like, clean, I guess?" <<<< This. Have you ever bought anything at Rue 21? Yeah, I like that store. The graphic tees section, at least. What color of colored contacts would you like to have? Like, purple or something. NO, cyan. Gimme a Manson feel. What’s on your bed? Me, Teddy, Roman, my laptop and mouse, my pillows, sheets, blanket, phone... Your floor besides furniture? My bookbag and purse. Wires. Shoes. Your dresser? My meerkat collection, along with some other plushies. The top shelf in your closet? I have no clue. Are there any dead stuffed animals in your house? Uh, you mean taxidermy? No. I am viciously against hunting "trophies." HOWEVER, I'm deeply into vulture culture and have mixed feelings about making art of NATURALLY deceased wildlife... A part of me says that's disrespectful, and then the other says it's very honoring and respectful, to immortalize an animal's beauty as art after experiencing a good life. It's something I semi-want to get into, but again, I'm torn on my thoughts about it. Do you know anyone who goes fishing, but doesn’t like fish? Do you mean like, eating fish? I'll fish with Dad if he invites me (I otherwise stopped as I don't support it if not necessary for food, but this has always been my and Dad's "thing"), but I hate fish as food. If you mean they don't enjoy fish as animals, I don't think so. What’s the best prize you’ve won on an amusement park/carnival game? I don't have a clue. Have you ever done anything sexual in a school? No, besides simple kisses. Have you ever been indoor skydiving? No. Would you have any interest in going on a cruise? No. Being out in the ocean scares me. Have you ever been to a Chinatown in any of the cities you’ve been to? No. How old was the oldest person you’ve dated? Maybe like, five years older. Do you know anyone who has their own podcast? No. Have you ever been to couple’s counseling? No. How many children do you want, and how did you decide on this number? None. I decided because 1.) I would be a terrible mother, 2.) I'm not putting anyone's well-being above my own ever again, 3.) I'm not dedicating the remainder of my life trying to raise someone who might end up not even caring about me, and 4.) they're fuckin expensive and I've been poor my whole life and will do almost anything to keep my bills and expenses in general as low as possible. Where did your last kiss take place? The airport. Did you often read for fun when you were a kid? Oh, definitely. I loved reading. ^ What were some of your favorite books? Little-little kid books included Stellaluna, What Makes a Rainbow?, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Rainbow Fish, 10 Minutes 'Til Bedtime... a lot. As like an elementary student, I was really into the Magic Tree House and Hank the Cowdog series. Then in middle school, Warriors dominated my bookshelf. Are you more of a visual learner or an auditory learner? Visual. Do you have any dietary restrictions? No. Do you prefer Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, or something else? I've never used any. What is your favorite coffee brand? N/A What is your favorite tea brand? N/A Have you ever worn false eyelashes? No. I probably only will for maybe my wedding. How old does someone have to be for you to see them as an adult? 21 I guess. Do you ever ‘manspread’ when you sit down? Uh. I actually don't know. I don't pay attention. Which of your good habits has made the biggest positive difference in your life? Coming to understand I have to put myself first, probably. Or learning how to talk to myself gently. Have you ever dated someone who was very lazy? No. Have you ever turned down a job offer? No. Have you ever been fired from a job? No. I always quit too early for that, really.

Tyler and I watched the first one. I don't remember what I thought about it, really. Have you ever worn black eyeliner? "Yeah. That’s the only kind I wear." <<<< This.

Have you ever skipped for a long distance? Maybe as a little kid? Are you excited for the holidays? Halloween was disappointing, as I did absolutely zip. I honestly don't care about Thanksgiving. We always just go have dinner with Ashley's bigot in-laws. I'm VERY hyped for Christmas 'cuz I'm probably gonna be with Sara!! Can you play any instruments?

Silent Hill 2 and Shadow of the Colossus. What song represents your life the best? "Get Up" by Mother Mother makes me think of myself A LOT. Are you into anime? Yeah.

No. What’s the worst injury you’ve ever had? As a kid, I was running on the gravel road and slipped and fell. I scraped my knees to the point of pus coming out. It took a loooong time to heal. I cried SO fucking loudly. Bad, bad memory made only worse because Dad got so annoyed by it that he yelled at me to shut up. Happy beyond words he changed so much after the divorce and stopped drinking. What is something you like to have conversations about? MARK and other YouTubers I love to an unreasonable height, meerkats, vidya games I enjoy, RP, bands I love... What all is in the trunk of your car? I don't have a clue. Do you ever put fruit on your cereal? EW no. I hate that shit. How do you usually celebrate your favorite holiday? By doing nothing, lately. I don't have anywhere to go, so no point in even dressing up. Plus I can't afford costumes. When was the last time you drove something other than a car or truck? Uh. I have zero clue. Have you ever eaten/drank something and then realized it was past the expiration date? Probably at some point. Do you own any jewelry containing your birthstone?

Well, besides the obvious things like my niece and nephew's b-day parties, I don't know. What item should never be shared? Stealing the last person's answer: your toothbrush.

Have you ever sat all the way through Gone With the Wind? No. Does drinking alcohol make you act more like your true self? I don't know if it's my "true" self, but I'm more extroverted and calmer. Have you ever googled a name and found somebody? Uhhhh so this is probably so incredibly creepy, but I jumped through hoops finding Jason's landline a few days before my suicide attempt because I was absolutely desperate to talk to him. It was in the dead of night and his sweetheart mom picked up and spoke with me for like two whole hours trying to calm me down. Jason was asleep, apparently. I miss that woman. She was so patient and gentle that night. Okay I'm honestly getting pretty emotional recalling that night so MOVING ON. What is your favorite possession? My iPod, really. I've had it since middle school and has 1k+ songs on it that I, like an idiot, am too lazy to back up... soooo when it dies, which it's WAY overdue to do, I will probably tear the world in two.

About the Jedi Mic thing, that was super friggin funny and I was wondering if you'd write a scenario based on the headcanon? It had me laughing my butt off and I really love your writing.
Yoo I know your feel. I laughed my ass off at work break my colleagues thought I’m insane. Was actually thinking about writing it myself! :D
Mild NSFW warning (just sex mention).
___________________
It was the day after midterm exams, and Hizashi was still pretty pissed about having lost against his students. All of the teachers made fun about of fear of bugs, calling him a shame of a hero.
Tumblr media
“This little brats…” he mumbled while kicking a stone out of the way. “I had spiders in my beautiful hair for hours and one beetle bit my toe in the midst of class.” After school, he didn’t even have time to relax, having some stuff for his radio channel to do. This day really was no fun.
He just wanted to see you. You already knew that he felt pretty down since he wrote you many texts today, telling you how much he misses you and how much he wants to punch that mischievous grin out of Aizawa’s face. So instead of walking home and falling into the bed like he intended to firstly, he headed for your home. When he stood in front of your house, he realized all the lights were off. “Weird, [___] is usually already home this late in the evening.”
When he opened the door, everything was dark and lighted with candles. He expected some “sexy surprise” for him, yet he wasn’t really in the mood. He rather wanted to let off some steam and talk to you about his shitty day.
But suddenly, you came out of the bedroom, standing at the end of the hall - dressed in a bathrobe, your face covered. As walked at his direction, you pressed the “Play”-Button on the CD-player you prepared. “Duel of the Fates” started playing. “Babe?”
Tumblr media
You got a toy-lightsaber out of your sleeve. After powering it, it covered the room in a red light. “At last, you’ve arrived” you said with a serious voice, “I’ve been waiting, Jedi scum.” “Oh.My.God.” You threw a blue light-saber at his direction, stating “Just so it’ll be an even match. And now: Die!”
Hizashi almost exploded out of exitement, immediately participating. “Oh god babe I love you so much!” “I don’t know who this “babe” is!” you said, as you tried your best to remain serious. “Of course. A Yedi master I am. Easy for you it won’t be” he snorted. Starting to battle like madman, the two of you would knock over a vase or two, but you didn’t care in the heat of the moment. The two of you made many weird moves, trying to mimic Star Wars fights, while laughing your asses off the whole time.
Tumblr media
Mic was pretty fast, of course. He’s a pro hero, after all. Yet he went easy on you. After you accomplished to his head a few times, he just got fired up more. But he didn’t want to accidentally hurt you, so he’d just poke your stomach a bit. Then, jumping onto the couch, he yelled “It’s over babe, I have the high ground!”
Tumblr media
You just stood in front of him, unimpressed, while firmly holding your laser sword. “Don’t underestemate my power!” you yelled, an evil grin showing up on your face. With a powerful smack to his ankles, you made the overconfident Hizashi lose his balance and fall to the ground. When he tried to get up again, you tackled him and pushed him down with your own weight. Sitting on his hips while confidently crossing your arms, you teased: “Now who has the high ground?”
“Oh, are you flirting with me?” he smiled, while pulling you down to him, kissing you intensive. “Up I give. Anything you want you can do with me.” You bit your lip, your voice changing it’s tone to a rather seductive one. “Oh? I’ve got an idea how to punish you, Yedi scum” you mumble while taking off the bathrobe and revealing that you’re only wearing fine lingerine under it. “I might pass out from such beauty, I think. Hmmmmm” he babbled with a dumb, lovestruck grin on his face. “Don’t talk to much. You need your strenght for what’s to come.”
A few hours later and still lying on the floor (this time without any clothes) Hizashi and you crawled into bed after stopping being out of breath. “Babe, you’re amazing.” You smile, rubbing your nose against his. “I love you too, ‘Zashi.” He leaps towards you as he hugs you firmly, enjoying the feeling of your skin onto his. “I want to marry you.”
“Don’t be ridiculous” you mumble, almost falling asleep. “I mean it! You’re the best partner in the world! Who else would come up with such a thing? We’re soulmates or something!” Suddenly your heart stopped for a second, but you tried to keep playing it cool. “So you want to marry me bcause I play Star Wars with you?”
“No. Because you make me happy like no other could! I had the shittiest day, but you turned it into the best in no time!” he states, rubbing his cheek against yours. Goddang it, he’s so cute when he wants. ���How do I deserve such a wonderful partner? I’m never letting go of you.” “Hizashi, I can’t breath” you gasp. “I’m only letting go when I get an answer.”
“The answer obvious it is. Jar Jar loves you, Hizashi” you giggled. With this answer, he tried to kick you out of the bed. “There are borders not meant to be crossed, babe. Total mood killer.”
“You goddarn idiot! Stop it, Hizashi!” “We are still totally going to marry but you have to think about what you just said. I only do this because I love you!”

Some people seem a bit confused as to what I'm talking about. There's apparently more than one Tiny Heist, so that's 100% on me. ^__^;;
The Tiny Heist that I'm talking about is a new mini series on Dropout's show, Dimension 20.
Dropout is College Humor's streaming channel. You can get a free seven day trial. (I'm going to stay subscribed longer, because there are other shows I want to watch now!)
Dimension 20 is a show where a bunch of guests play tabletop RPGs of different sorts.
I have to admit, when I first heard the concept of listening to someone else play DnD, I did NOT understand the appeal. I thought, what's the point if you're not the one playing? If you feel the same, please give me a few moments to convince you to give this a try.
1: The game master, Brennan Lee Mulligan, is incredibly charming, clever, and will go ALL OUT when acting the various NPCs. He brings an energy to the production that really keeps your attention. I've only heard him in two shows so far, Tiny Heist and Dadlands (an Adventure Zone live show where he was a guest DM) but both times he's been wonderful! And I really look forward to seeing him in more shows.
2: The McElroy family (three brothers and their father) are accomplished comedians who have had several years of experience writing and playing RPGs specifically for a listening audience. They know how to weave a compelling narrative and keep you laughing along the way, without getting bogged down in the kind of DnD minutiae that might otherwise make for difficult *coughtorturouscough* listening.
3: The setting and characters are just *chefs kiss*
There are Moochers and Stewards (non copywritten versions of Borrowers). Moochers live a difficult life outside. Stewards are elitist innies who seem to be keeping the Moochers out so they can continue to live in comfort.
There's two Moocher player characters. Bean, a monk/scavenger whose home in the compost heap has recently been destroyed. He makes friends with the human child in the first scene. It is adorable and heartwarming. ;w;
And Ti-83, a tech savvy girl who lives with her tribe in the community center tech drawer. She loves explosions. The scene where these two characters meet is honestly the best thing I've ever heard. I can't spoil it, but it's amazing. XD
There are also fairies. We don't know as much about them as a society, since there is only one fairy character. But Agnes is this upper middle aged woman who runs a casino, wears pink leopard skin pants, has a fanny pack with fairy dust in it, is constantly smoking, and often dabbles in crime. What is not to love about that???
There are living toys, which come to life either through the love of a child, or by being exposed to fairy dust. There is a noble Car-Mo-Bot (transformer) named Car-Go Jones, who is dedicated to saving his owner from some sort of sinister plot masterminded by a Borrower crime lord named Flick. (We don't know what the danger is yet. There is only one episode up)
And a Clicko-man (lego) named Rick Diggins, who spent two years stuck between car seats, and has become somewhat jaded by the experience (hmm, sounds familiar) He has multiple different outfits and personalities, four out of five of which are in debt to a bug crime boss named Garbanzo Bugless.
And last but not least, we have a Hercules Beetle named Boomer Coleoptra, who is hired muscle for Flick, the main Borrower crime boss. He's not a violent guy. He's just big. He has a sensitive soul and just wants to be an actor.
If you haven't been enticed by this little synopsis, well, that's probably my fault. I am not very good at this sort of thing. 😅
But please, please give this a try! It's so funny and so well thought out (and cinematic as heck! I could envision everything perfectly clearly) and I REALLY want to talk about it with other people!
Here's the trailer.
https://youtu.be/kR6vADysaxM
youtube
GT FRIENDS! GT FRIENDS!
You have to watch Tiny Heist! It's GOOD MCFREAKIN' CONTENT!
So far the two borrower characters are my favorites.
I am CRYING I'm laughing so hard!

Does your favorite uncle have any children? Yeah; he has one son and a daughter. If you want children, what are some of your reasons for wanting them? I don't. I'm selfish with my alone time, and I want to live for me. I don't want to essentially hand over my life for someone else, give my all for them, and then I wind up not being enough.

After finishing a bowl of cereal, do you drink the leftover milk? No. What’s something that’s been bothering you lately? I've been pushing it to the back of my mind to avoid panicking, so I probably shouldn't even talk about it, but I worry quite a bit that Girt will eventually leave me because of me not being "adult" enough, like having a job, a car, knowing how to do basic adult stuff... you know. I don't feel like he will, given just how devoutly he's been by my side since HS, and especially now that we're together, I'm working harder towards those goals, but still. I worry it'll happen.
