Does anyone remember that "Humans are weird/humans are space orcs" style writing blog from a while back where a human woman was captured and presumed to be a wild animal by a race of plant-based aliens? I believe the name of their race started with a V... She also had an alien bestie scientist that realized she was sapient and freed her. It was really good. I wanted to read it again but I can't seem to find it. Combing through my hundreds-strong Following list is not working out lol

Edit: why are you guys only liking this instead of boosting with reblogs 😭

hi, tumblr user strawberrycamel here, I'd like to take a moment and remind everyone that if you like something, consider reblogging it too. That's how communities thrive and connect with each other, and that's how you tell creators "hey this thing you made is great and I enjoy it" . Reblogging also makes a copy of the post on your own blog that will stick around until you delete it; if the creator gets rid of the post, your copy on your blog will still exist!

Let's get rid of the mindless consumption and try to interact with our fellow tumblr users a little more, shall we?

Mizu made such a huge deal about how no man is worthy of her blade

But she gave it to Mikio without second thought

And what did he do in light of this unfathomable display of trust and respect? Act like a brat cos a girl was better than him, boo-hoo

Johnny: "Look at the little guy.." Daniel: "You're lucky we found you!" Johnny: "We should keep him." Daniel: "We can't keep him. We're sworn enemies, we can't have a cat." "..." Johnny: "Maybe we should have a cat." "..." Daniel: "Let's call him Gizmo." Johnny: "Sounds about right."

Who says the episode title phrases in each episode of Wolf 359?

I've created a spreadsheet to show which character says the episode title phrase (i.e. the words which form the name of that particular episode) in every episode of Wolf 359. Graphs summarising this data can be found below, but to look at the full spreadsheet in all its glory, and see the progression through the series, you can follow this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cQLkhxbDAItU6rdiUAYGn54FXXxYC-JXlCmP_Dqe9FA/

(Please note: I’ve focused here on which character first speaks the exact title phrase within the episode itself. In some cases, this is not the only - or the most significant - time that the title phrase is spoken.)

EDIT: This post previously stated incorrectly that "the devil's plaything" is not said in Ep57. In fact, it is said by Pryce (through Minkowski). Thank you to @yaghoulghosty for pointing this out!

we are making this post in the hopes that it reaches someone able to afford to donate to these families. we have been contacted by numerous Palestinians fundraising for evaluation and/or basic necessities. we donate when we are able, but the small amount we can give is simply not enough. please consider sharing with these families. and if you can't, please consider sharing this post. if by us writing this one small donation is made to one of these fundraisers, it will have been a thousand times worth it.

here is an image shared with us by @asma-famil88 highlighting the inflated prices in Gaza.

notes: to the best of our knowledge all of this information is accurate- we have done our best to ensure these fundraisers are legitimate and will send money to these Palestinians. the majority (if not all) are also donation protected. we tagged the blog that reached out to us- the majority have multiple blogs due to tumblr shadow banning or outright terminating Palestinian's blogs.

if any of the people that sent us their campaigns and pleas for help see this- we are so, so sorry we can't do more for any of you. we pray this post will reach someone who can.

A DEVIL REBORN

Happy Halloween!!! A detailed ID will be placed under the cut (it's close to being 1K i could literally post this to Ao3)

p1. ड्याम्म (dyamma) - Nepali for "(feeling) full", "hitting something"

p3. Chutiya - Hindi for "idiot", "moron" and other related insults

p5. க்ரீச் (kreech) - Tamil onomatopoeia describing scraping/screeching sounds

[Extended Image ID: DYAMMA! Slamming his hands on a table, Achanba Okram finds himself in the darkness of his laboratory. He is wearing black clothes and a white lab coat on top, and has a bowl cut with rectangular glasses.

His thoughts whirl within boxes that are coloured gold and are outlined with red; they put a voice to the uneasy feelings Okram knows are stirring inside of him. The thought boxes read:

With Pavitr gone, I finally have time to string my thoughts together. Half-drowned answers bleed out of my pores. Coalescing like some great, abysmal creature of unknown origin.

Bracing his hands against the table, Okram is acutely aware of his body, of the gaping holes in his back that bubble with demonic energy. His thoughts narrate, My body quakes when I begin to question, wracked with paranoia. With dread, as if the idea of what I had to face was unbearable.

The holes in back — four of them, spaced evenly from each other — begin to ooze golden liquid, hot like fire and viscous like tar.

And yet, Okram thinks, I felt it all the same: that crawling, scintillating horror of my reality. Of my tainted flesh and blood. My being here is the work of demonic forces.

Golden arms, fluid yet bony, powered by some otherworldly thing, unravel from the void in his back. They flounder and expand around him, filling the lab with a cold glow. The fingers are tipped with talons, and, if he looked hard enough, Okram swears they are edged with blood.

I died years ago, Okram thinks. I lost my humanity to the fire of the devil's madness. Thus, the question remains: what is the future of Achanba Okram, a DEVIL REBORN?

The lights of the lab suddenly brighten, and Okram hears him before he sees him. His arms register the presence of the other person, immediately unraveling and slipping out of reality. Just outside, Pavitr Prabhakar's voice calls, "HEY, DOCTOR OKRAM! Sorry I'm late! Traffic was abysmal today."

Pavitr's entrance catches Okram by surprise, and he stutters out, "PAVITR?! You- ah- you have one of your shifts today?"

His thoughts reprimand him, You CHUTIYA! Pavitr always has his shifts on Tuesdays!

Pavitr is unaware of Okram's turmoil, sauntering into the laboratory while hefting up a white plastic bag. He's wearing a black and white flannel shirt, and he has circular earrings. Pavitr's eyes are trained on the bag in his hand. He answers Okram's question with, "Yeah, I do. I, uh, got a little hungry along the way (I'm always so hungry)." Pavitr whispers the last part as he lifts the bag up. He continues, "so I went and bought some vada pav, and—"

He suddenly pauses, his eyes locking onto Okram. He can't tell what is going beyond Pavitr's eyes, but the other man's analysing gaze unnerves Okram to a degree beyond description.

(In Pavitr's POV: his Spider-Sense was just triggered. Red and gold squiggly lines emanate from and surround his head in a halo.)

Pavitr lowers the bag slightly in concern. "Uhm," Pavitr says "are you okay, Doctor?"

Dread and fear floods Okram's system. Suddenly he is hyperaware of everything in the room, including the golden arm that has sprouted from his back and was lying on the workbench behind him, right in Pavitr's line of sight.

Play dumb! Okram's mind screams at him. Accordingly, Okram replies, a tad too tightly, "Of course I am, Pavitr! Why wouldn't I be?"

KREECH. The golden arm scrapes its taloned fingers across the table, no doubt giving away its location.

Okram chuckles nervously, sweating almost immediately, at which his mind howls, Not that dumb!

Pavitr narrows his eyes at Okram and at the golden arm on the workbench. "Are those...demonic arms?" he asks Okram, a shadow crossing his face.

(In Pavitr's POV: In the back of his mind, Pavitr sees a vague and faded image forming in response to seeing the arms. He remembers Doctor Octopus, the man with two extra sets of arms who had attacked him many years ago; he was one of the first villains Pavitr fought as Spider-Man. But... Doctor Octopus died a long time ago. Perhaps...?)

"Oh, Doctor..."

Pavitr's gaze softens as he asks, "Are you being haunted by demons? Have you been attacked by them? Why didn't you tell me? I'm so sorry this has been happening to you. I can't imagine how stressful this is for you." A moment, and then, "Do you want to talk about?"

Okram hides his face in his hands, quickly responding, "No, I'm alright, Pavitr."

Pavitr walks forward, placing his bag down and reaching down to place a reassuring hand on Okram's shoulder. "But, Doctor, men of your generation have ignored their mental health for too long."

"Yes, I know," Okram sighs.

"It'll be okay, Doctor," Pavitr promises, "we can figure something out!"

"And what?" Okram asks somewhat sarcastically. "You will be here with me 'every step of the way'?"

"One hundred percent!" Pavitr says.

Behind them, one of Okram's demonic arms reaches out to peer at Pavitr and Okram; if an arm could be happy, it certainly was. The arm is seemingly pleased with Pavitr's helpful and understanding nature. /.End ID]

Fuzzy alien moth AU version of Noir. Because Spaaaaceeee fantasy is fun.

His wings are an adaption for cold climates and energy absorption his kind cannot fly. He's from the ass end of the universe and a planet that doesn't do much outside trade so most people have never interacted with his kind before and there's very little info about them in circulation.Mostly that's not an issue but Noir gets some dumb comments and doesn't like dealing with people. He gets along really well with a lot of mechanical entities and spaceships though, so he barters those skills in exchange for food and passage between stations. A lot of the time his attitude gets him thrown off the ship before the agreed destination, but he doesn't particularly mind, even if he will grumble about people not just leaving him alone.

"Divineggtion":

This is something I created with the help of my mutual @coquette-lunalovemystique as a non-appropriative alternative to "modern" egg cleansing

For those you who do not understand why "modern" egg cleansing" is appropriative: It is true that various cultures throughout history have used eggs for cleansing and divination, including in Europe. However, "modern" egg cleansing does not have roots in any European practices. Instead, it is appropriation of limpia con huevo, which comes from curanderismo — an initiatory Latin American traditional medicinal practice — and is believed to have ultimately originated from Indigenous peoples and/or enslaved Africans in what is now Mexico. Furthermore, not only is curanderismo initiatory (and no, contrary to what wannabe "shamans" claim, you cannot become a curandero by taking a 12-weeks $4,000 online course), it is still ridiculed, demonized, and even criminalized* in the US

"Divineggtion" is a method of egg cleansing, which while similar to and inspired by limpia con huevo, is not straight up cultural appropriation. The major difference between "divineggtion" and the appropriative "modern" egg cleansing is that "divineggtion" does not involve rubbing the egg on oneself or reading the whites or yolk

How to perform "divineggtion":

What you will need:

An egg

Somewhere to dispose of the whites and yolk. "Divineggtion" does not involve reading the whites or yolk

Steps:

1) Grab the egg and hold it in your hand(s) and visualize it absorbing all negativities from you. Do not rub it on yourself

2) After the egg has become "heavy" with whatever negativities is absorbed from you, crack the egg open and immediately dispose of the whites and yolk. How you dispose of them is up to you, but I'd recommend against eating them

3) Read the shell. Now this part we haven't quite worked out yet. However, one idea is to interpret crack patterns:

4: Dispose of the eggshell. Follow up with either a second cleansing (if needed) or protective measures

And that's how you perform "divineggtion!"

Another non-appropriative alternative to limpia con huevo is this:

I call it "egg showering"

*The criminalization of curanderismo comes mainly in the form of criminalizing traditional medicinal plants
