Say what you will about our universe, at least we live in a world where mosquitos can't transmit HIV.
#mosquitos#science#science facts#entymology#for anyone wondering why who doesnt wanna click the link#there are a few reasons#1) HIV affects T cells#(a type of immune cell in the body)#and mosquitos do not have T cells which means the virus cannot replicate in their body#2) mosquitos actually have TWO tubes in their snout#one of which delivers saliva into the host#the other sucks blood#since a mosquito only injects saliva when it bites HIV infected blood is never transmitted to the host#3) The HIV virus gets digested in the mosquito's gut#4) the HIV virus circulates at very low levels in the human body anyway#according to the source in the link it would take ten million mosquito bites to transmit one unit of HIV#and people who are HIV positive typically carry “no more than 10” units of HIV.#so an individual mosquito cannot carry enough HIV to generate a new infection#even if it had a way to transmit it to you (which it doesnt)#sources:#1) my friend who is a doctor#2) the source in the link#so anyway#today i learned#whateverelse is going on in my life ill always be grateful for the fact that mosquitos cant transmit HIV#glad i dont live in that timeline

oddly familiar. isn't it?
Do you think when Jason was beating to Tim at himself he only saw his own bloodied corpse? Metal against skin. A familiar sound.
Do you think he felt sympathetic...? or maybe he felt like Tim should know what it felt like.
based on this panel ;)
#artists on tumblr#tim drake#dc red robin#robin tim drake#jason todd#red hood#dc#batman#batbros#batfam#the reds#we NEED to compare these two MORE they parallel each other so MUCH#dont look too close bc the persectives on all of these suck#tw blood#robin jason todd

hmmmm… i want to watch nosferatu and have malleus on the brain…
(tw possible yan mal? blood and death, not reader tho)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ed3adf926a42ea5ea0552f8e14c84f4b/1df29b7124f710ac-f7/s540x810/e455191a6938be5ee2e6c05e3dedba48459949b0.jpg)
Vampire Malleus that sees you trembling through the ruins outside his territory. A shaky hand holding onto a heavy flashlight and the other wrapped tightly around your midriff. A pathetic form of protection, he muses.
Mortals tend to steer clear from his area. He wasn’t even sure when was the last time he saw one. Surely by your indecent way of dress, it's been quite a long time. Ah, how time flies when you're a creature of the night.
Vampire Malleus that follows you throughout the night. Always stepping out of sight everytime you squeak and flash your light in his direction. He could see the tiny tears pricking at your glossy eyes. Throughout his years, he’s seen fear plastered across the face of many and yet, something about yours has his dead heart thrumming in his cold chest. Maybe it’s your eyes, big and shaky, or your trembling lips that squeaks like a little mouse. Or perhaps, it's because you're just so pathetically human that it lights up his curiosity.
Faintly he could hear the sounds of other humans approaching the area. And suddenly, your fear has disappeared into relief. And Malleus’ serene smile twitches. His fun is over and soon you’ll disappear beyond his reach. It can’t be helped, Malleus sighs. For as fleeting as you were, you sure were entertaining.
And yet as your voice met your friends and you turned to face them, your foot slipped and you came tumbling down. Yelping as jagged rock embedded itself into your palms and exposed knees. You hissed in pain as you examined the blood that began to leak out your poor cuts, dripping and collecting into a puddle down below.
And just like that the smell of your blood has awoken the beast.
The moment your friends made it up the hill they fell down wordlessly. It didn’t even click in your brain what had happened. Eyes couldn’t even follow the large black blurr that seemingly flew down from the sky and picked off your friends one by one. Leaving them not a second for them to scream, not a second for them to feel an ounce of fear.
Shakely you called out for them. No response came, just the sway of the wind. Fear mounted you to your spot. You couldn’t see anything, couldn’t hear anything and the smell of blood, thick and metallic clung to your nose.
And that smell only became more apparent as a pair of sharp slender pale hands reached for you from the darkness. Twisting your head from the lifeless bodies of your friends to the glowing red eyes of a beast. Domineering, lustful. The beast gazed down at you with such ferocity, you were sure you were about to pass. Those hands, stained with the blood of your friends, trailed down to your bloodied hand and lifted it up to its mouth.
A forked tongue slithered from its mouth and slid across your open wound. And just like that, its eyes rolled back and closed, and it visibly shivered. Disgust thick with fear coated your throat at its reaction and your body fought to move. And yet, it’s hold on your wrist turned harsh, knife-like nails digging into the delicate skin of your wrist and you stilled.
Its eyes opened into narrowed slits. Lips parting into a pleased smirk, allowing you to see its long, sharp teeth. And with a voice, deep and smooth and seemingly human, it purred.
“What an interesting find…”

#something something abt vamp malleus being so enthralled by readers blood and suddenly for the first time in centuries hes felt true hunget#maybe he obsessed with the feeling it turns into an obsession for reader and he’s constantly trying to balance between letting his obession#consume him or allowing him to see reader as more#a slowburn fic where mal slow begins to see reader as an equal and yearns for her love and trust while reader slowly overcoming her fear#and seeing mal as more then a blood sucking monster#or or or mal lettinf his obsession overtake him and boom yan mal that wants reader all to himself#such a perfect little human for the king of monsters#his lust for his blood turnung into his lust for her entirely#maybe rollo some sort of vampire hunter sent yo kill mal and also falls madly obsessed over reader too#so they fight to the death tehehe#or maybe the other housewardens are vamps too and also become obsessed with reader and her blood#hehe#twisted wonderland#twst#twisted wonderland x reader#twst x reader#twst hcs#malleus draconia x you#malleus headcanons#malleus draconia x reader#yandere twisted wonderland x reader#yandere twst#yandere malleus draconia#vampire au#mari rambles

// When I’m trying to convince people that Yui is a girl’s girl, but then I remember when Yui got jealous and more concerned about Ayato sucking other girls’ blood than those girls literally getting murdered—
Yeah… you’re alone on this one, girl.

transcript below
Image One - Luigi, internally: What if he died. What if he exploded.
Image Three - Waluigi: Your bull-headed brother sent Wario to the hospital. Luigi: Well, you shouldn't have encouraged him. Waluigi: Yeah? You're lucky we're not pressing charges. Luigi: You're lucky Mario cares enough to send flowers.
Image Five - Mario: ...So could you at least consider forgiving me?
Image Six - Wario: Stars, you're so lame for even asking.
Image Seven - Mario: I cracked your head open. And you're not even a bit mad?!
Image Eight - Wario: Yep! Not a lot of people can say that. You should be proud!

thinking ab love hangover with rin... because contrary to popular opinion i think he'd be a GREAT ex (at least outwardly). breaks up pretty detached, behaves normal-ish (however normal rin is) with you on the street, lets u have all ur hangout spots, ur friends hate him, 10/10 ex behaviour. just when he thinks he's over u you come back to literally HAUNT him. clingy af making bad jokes intercepting him at training forcing him to have lunch with u his totally desperate ex that makes him realise he's not over you at all!!
#goddd he's so annoying I know he'd be the PERFECT ex because he can be yearning pining for u back but the most you're gonna get is a nod#from him while crossing each other on the street and hes MORTIFIED he thinks hes SOOO CLINGY while ur plotting 15 different ways to meet hi#again in one day. “blue lock boys as toxic exes” BEEP. WRONG!!!1!1 blue lock boys WITH a toxic ex who they actually love having around like#a little pest who wont go away. that man is so emotionally constipated he NEEDS someone to viciously suck his blood. anyways I'm so normal#junetwt#rin itoshi x reader#the song is driving me maddd

I honestly prefer the queer ships (samtory, kiaz) but I'm not delusional enough to actually think that they're in any way going to be canon... so if keenry & samguel aren't going to be the endgames of Cobra Kai istg I'll fucking lose it
#cobra kai#cobra kai season 6#samtory#kiaz#keenry#samguel#pls don't come at me for shipping kiaz bc honestly idgaf bc they knew each other before johnny/carmen was a thing#and they are not in any way blood related#plus it's a fictional show and all of those are reasons enough for me#if they aren't for you i get it and that's fine#robby keene#sam larusso#samantha larusso#miguel diaz#tory nichols#honestly I'm pretty sure they are going to be canon bc it would make no sense to break them up this late in the show#but what do ik the writers lowkey suck at times so#respect tho those who still have hope in samtory or kiaz though

Did some people have their eyes gouged out like Oedipus while watching Nosferatu (2024) to have this bad of an understanding of the movie

Let's go to Georgian Dublin and take vows of celibacy and let pints of blood from one another's arms as a means of physical release whenever we have a sore head or a bout of melencholia or brain fever or a moral qualm about our actions let's go let's do it

actually i'm still thinking about the moral orel finale.
he has a cross on his wall. do you know how much i think about that bc it's a lot.
a lot of stories ((auto)biographical or fictional) centering escape from abusive/fundamentalist christianity result in the lead characters leaving behind christianity entirely. and that makes complete sense! people often grow disillusioned with the associated systems and beliefs, and when it was something used to hurt them or something so inseparable from their abuse that they can't engage with it without hurting, it makes total sense that they would disengage entirely. and sometimes they just figure out that they don't really believe in god/a christian god/etc. a healthy deconstruction process can sometimes look like becoming an atheist or converting to another religion. it's all case by case. (note: i'm sure this happens with other religions as well, i'm just most familiar with christian versions of this phenomenon).
but in orel's case, his faith was one of the few things that actually brought him comfort and joy. he loved god, y'know? genuinely. and he felt loved by god and supported by him when he had no one else. and the abuses he faced were in how the people in his life twisted religion to control others, to run away from themselves, to shield them from others, etc. and often, orel's conflicts with how they acted out christianity come as a direct result of his purer understanding of god/jesus/whatever ("aren't we supposed to be like this/do that?" met with an adult's excuse for their own behavior or the fastest way they could think of to get orel to leave them alone (i.e. orel saying i thought we weren't supposed to lie? and clay saying uhhh it doesn't count if you're lying to yourself)). the little guy played catch with god instead of his dad, like.. his faith was real, and his love was real. and i think it's a good choice to have orel maintain something that was so important to him and such a grounding, comforting force in the midst of. All That Stuff Moralton Was Up To/Put Him Through. being all about jesus was not the problem, in orel's case.
and i know i'm mostly assuming that orel ended up in a healthier, less rigid version of christianity, but i feel like that's something that was hinted at a lot through the series, that that's the direction he'd go. when he meditates during the prayer bee and accepts stephanie's different way to communicate, incorporating elements of buddhism into his faith; when he has his I AM A CHURCH breakdown (removing himself from the institution and realizing he can be like,, the center of his own faith? taking a more individualistic approach? but Truly Going Through It at the same time), his acceptance (...sometimes) of those who are different from him and condemned by the adults of moralton (stephanie (lesbian icon stephanie my beloved), christina (who's like. just a slightly different form of fundie protestant from him), dr chosenberg (the jewish doctor from otherton in holy visage)). his track record on this isn't perfect, but it gets better as orel starts maturing and picking up on what an absolute shitfest moralton is. it's all ways of questioning the things he's been taught, and it makes sense that it would lead to a bigger questioning as he puts those pieces together more. anyway i think part of his growth is weeding out all the lost commandments of his upbringing and focusing on what faith means to him, and what he thinks it should mean. how he wants to see the world and how he wants to treat people and what he thinks is okay and right, and looking to religion for guidance in that, not as like. a way to justify hurting those he's afraid or resentful of, as his role models did.
he's coming to his own conclusions rather than obediently, unquestioningly taking in what others say. but he's still listening to pick out the parts that make sense to him. (edit/note: and it's his compassion and his faith that are the primary motivations for this questioning and revisal process, both of individual cases and, eventually, the final boss that is christianity.) it makes perfect sense as the conclusion to his character arc and it fits the overall approach of the show far better. it's good is what i'm saying.
and i think it's important to show that kind of ending, because that's a pretty common and equally valid result of deconstruction. and i think it cements the show's treatment of christianity as something that's often (and maybe even easily) exploited, but not something inherently bad. something that can be very positive, even. guys he even has a dog he's not afraid of loving anymore. he's not afraid of loving anyone more than jesus and i don't think it's because he loves this dog less than bartholomew (though he was probably far more desperate for healthy affection and companionship when he was younger). i think it's because he figures god would want him to love that dog. he's choosing to believe that god would want him to love and to be happy and to be kind. he's not afraid of loving in the wrong way do you know how cool that is he's taking back control he's taking back something he loves from his abusers im so normal
#i had a really big fundie snark phase a year or two ago so that's part of like. this. but im still not used to actually talking about#religious stuff so if it reads kinda awkwardly uhh forgive me orz idk#maybe it sounds dumb but i like that the message isn't 'religion is evil'. it easily could have been. but i think the show's points about#how fundie wasp culture in particular treats christianity and itself and others would be less poignant if they were like. and jesus sucks#btw >:] like. this feels more nuanced to me. i guess there's probably a way to maintain that nuance with an ultimately anti-christian#piece of media but i think it'd be like. wayy harder and it's difficult for me to imagine that bc i think a lot of it would bleed out into#the tone. + why focus on only These christians when They're All also bad? so you'd get jokes about them in general#and i think that's kinda less funny than orel and doughy screaming and running from catholics lsdkjfldksj#i think the specificity makes it more unique and compelling as comedy and as commentary. but that's just me#like moralton represents a very particular kind of christian community (namely a middle class fundie wasp nest)#you're not gonna be able to get in the weeds as much if you're laughing at/criticizing all christians. but they accomplish it so thoroughly#and WELL in morel and i think that's because it chose a smaller target it can get to dissect more intimately. anyway#moral orel#orel puppington#(OH also when i say wasp here i mean WASP the acronym. as in white anglo-saxon protestsant. in case the term's new to anyone <3)#maybe it's also relevant to say that i'm kindaaaaaaaa loosely vaguely nonspecifically christian. so there's my bias revealed#i was never raised like orel but i like to think i get some of what's going on in there y'know. in that big autistic head of his#but it's not like i can't handle anti-christian/anti-religious media/takes. i'm a big boy and also i v much get why it's out there yknow#christianity in specific has a lot of blood on its hands from its own members and from outsiders and people have a right to hate it for tha#but religion in all its forms can be positive and i appreciate the nuance. like i've said around 20 times. yeah :) <3#(<- fighting for my life to explain things even though my one job is to be the explainer)
