*at a grant nash BBQ*
buck: *staring off into space*
eddie: he's about to say something really funny or absolutely horrifying
tommy: what?
hen: just wait
buck: did you know these two orcas trained other orcas to kill sharks by taking out their liver and testicles?
eddie: yep horrifying
tommy: wait, really?
buck: yup, off the coast of africa there's these two orcas called port and starboard and they hunt sharks to eat their liver and testicles, they tag team them, one goes for their fins while the other takes out the liver, so far they've taken down five great whites, they even killed khaleesi, who was being tracked and traced for research purposes
tommy: oh my god really?
hen: *looks at tommy and smiles*
eddie: *whispers to hen* he's perfect for him
hen: *whispers back* i know!
buck: yeah! port and starboard have even started teaching other orcas to do the same! so far port and starboards record of how many sharks killed in a day is seventeen!
tommy: oh my god, that's insane baby, what else have port and starboard done?
buck: well they also hunt copper sharks and some fish, they even chased the great whites away from africa for seven weeks! but this isn't even the first time orcas have done something like this, in the early 1900's there was this orca called old tom who would help whalers hunt baleen whales, he even tugged the boats into the right position to get the whales, this happened in the port of eden new south whales in australia, you can actually go and see old tom's skeleton in eden killer whale meuseum, and on his teeth you can see marks from where he would pull the roaps! and old tom even has missing teeth because the whalers had this thing called "law of tounge" where they would strap the dead whales down so old tom and his pod could eat the lips and tongues, on the night where he lost his teeth logan, one of the davidson whaler friends tried to bring the whale in instead of pinning it down for old tom to eat, and old tom was pissed and tried to stop him, and he lost teeth, old tom died from starvation, when old tom died they thought he was 35, but the davidson family swore old tom helped three generations of their family with whaling, old tom was actually in his 90's when he died, they called old toms pod the killers of eden which-
tommy: would make an amazing true crime shark podcast name

Things that happened at Thanksgiving today, but I make it DPxDC
Damian: … Richard? What are you doing?
Dick: *standing on the lawn and staring into the distance* I’ve been watching Danny try and struggle to park for the past fifteen minutes.
Damian: Oh. *also stops to watch* Have you seen Danielle and Jasmine come in?
Dick: Tbh, no. I’ve been watching Danny this entire time. And oh— oh! He stopped. Ooh, he turned around. He’s leaving. Damn, he gave up entirely and decided to park on the grass. Oh, he ran over Alfred’s bushes.
Damian:
Dick:
Damian: He won’t make it past the gates without Alfred sniping him.
Dick: Damn, you’re right.
————
Damian: *after Jason did something* what do you think you’re doing, Todd?
Jason: Lol, your mom
Damian: Actually, my mom only used you for her own goals. In fact, your mom abandoned you. Twice.
Jason:
Dick: Now, Damian, that’s not—
Damian: People who have had their mothers die in front of them should not speak.
Dick:
Damian: *pointing at Tim* And you! You may have had two parents at one point, but they definitely don’t consider you as their child! That’s why you had to stay with your neighbors so long! You’re an inconvenience!
Tim:
Stephanie: Hey now—
Damian: I don’t even want to hear you. Does your mother know you go out and fight crime? Does she even care?
Stephanie:
Damian: *looking at Cass* You too, Cassandra! But mommy issues wouldn’t be the least of your problems with your daddy issues as well!
Cass:
Damian: *turning around to Danny* And I didn’t forget about you, Fenton! No wonder you fit right in, your abandonment issues, raging teenage angst, and appearance makes you just at home, doesn’t it?!
Danny:
Tim: …. What about Jazz?
Jazz: *who’s been silent the entire time*
Damian:
Jazz:
Everybody else:
Damian: No, she’s a guest here. Why would I do that?
————
Dani: Pfft— Tim, Tim, can I— *can’t breathe from laughing too hard* can I touch your hair? It just looks so soft! *still laughing*
Tim: …?
Jazz and Danny: *also laughing their guts out*
Dani: *tries to reach for Tim but she keeps laughing and can’t focus on asking him* Your hair looks so soft— keheheh! C-Can I touch it??
Dani: *eventually swipes her finger under Tim’s nose and falls off of her chair from cackling so loud*
Tim: …..
Jason: *also bursting out in laughter* YOUR FACE!! BWAHAHAHAH
*Dani then proceeded to do this four more separate times with other people*
————
Dick: You know how Harley is back together with the Joker?
Dan: Yeah?
Dick: He cheated on Harley again.
Danny: *whirling around, flabbergasted* HUH?!
————
Dick: *carrying several bottles* Alright! Time for alcohol!
Jazz: Uhhh, Dick? Damian is right there—
Dick: He’s getting drunk tonight too!!
Everyone: ????
Damian: Yes! Alcoholism! *takes a plastic cup and takes a big gulp*
Dan: *looking at the bottle* This says sparkling apple cider?
Dick: Shhhh, just watch the show.
————
*dramatic screaming from other room*
Bruce: ….? What’s that?
Dick: Is that Jason? He sounds like he’s in pain
Bruce: *standing up* is he okay? Does he need help? Should I go and help him?! What’s happening—
Tim: Jason is playing ping pong with Dan and Danny. And losing really badly while Jazz is watching.
Bruce:
Dick:
Tim:
Bruce: oh.

yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.
to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!
i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.
also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.
they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.
they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.
i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.
#eve text#elmike#stranger things#byler#only tagging byler because i feel like yall will like this take lol#tagging tagging tagging WHAT ARE EVERYONE ELSE'S THOUGHTS#god i can't believe i'm making a post about stranger things. this feels like poking a bear#i'm not particularly anti m*leven but like... they'd have to do something pretty special at this point for me to feel like it's viable#i'm seeing the bts of s5 and it's got me Having Thoughts#elmike friendship is something i am so passionate about#even before i ever liked byler (didn't ship at all until s4 even though i knew it was a thing before) i've felt this way about elmike#i always believed they were close friends at heart and needed to break up#the romance part of them felt very distinctly young and very much “he was a boy she was a girl” to me#and it hasn't deepened into anything more mature and i don't see how it could based on the current state of the writing...#the fact that lumax exists — a young relationship that is actively maturing and is healthy — makes that clear to me#and the “love confession” in s4 and how disingenuous and miserable it felt was just the nail in the coffin#also the fact that will (who is IN LOVE with mike) was instrumental in making it happen? ... uh... okay... interesting choice…#fucked up and reductive if they make it another queer unrequited love sacrifice for the sake of pushing the heterosexual agenda YUCK#so i really hope the speculation about a m*leven breakup is real!! i think it just makes sense for their characters but who knows#i don't believe in the notion of love at first sight or one true love and i think the writers don't too???#love to me is an accumulation of experiences and we inevitably choose it at some point rather than fall into it... but idk#tv is so fixated on keeping couples together... sometimes it's just not reality guys especially with young people... LET IT GO...#like i said though i'm not 100% sold that they're going to give up their “golden couple” LMAO#stranger things hasn't historically subverted too many tropes if i'm being honest#anyway i seriously need this season to come out quickly... i'm so bored and getting my master's is crushing my soul#i need frivolity#ALSO btw i won't respond to hateful messages about this so please don't bother. it's not that serious. this is a netflix show

Im sorry if this sounds wrong since I don't exactly know how to word this but, Does your Galacta Knight have an accent? For Starspeak? If he does, how would it sound?
this is a super interesting question, but not one i've given much thought! i don't typically think a great deal about how characters sound or 'voice claims'. even less so for kirby characters, as none of them speak our language or live on our planet! the idea that any of them would have any sort of recognisable accent or voice at all is not really one i hold.
that said, when i've described galacta knight speaking in my writing, i've used words like "smooth" and "purposeful" and "low" and "quiet". not necessarily "deep" or a low octave- i don't really have thoughts about that- but just kind of measured and composed. i think he speaks the way tigers stalk their prey; patiently and with great intention. if he doesn't have something he wants to be heard, he doesn't say anything.
i think if he were to have any sort of accent, it would be similarly purposeful and he'd be able to alternate any intergalactic accent with relative fluency. he'd put it on like a glove to sell any kind of lie he liked- that he's from here, that he's got gentle intentions, that you can trust him- and take it off just as easily.
i do think that galacta knight probably has a slightly stiff/formal way of speaking in the modern times, but not terribly so. probably no more than meta knight, who is pretentious by choice.
#i say all this but bandee definitely has a soft country accent. not necessarily an *american* country accent fwiw#just a country accent. aussie country; welsh country; popstar country. just not a 'city' sound. he's a bumpkin of a guy.#also was recently asked about starstruck's accent. the same thing applies to her. never thought about it & she's not from earth#but as she is technically my sona i guuueeess she'd have my accent??? and who even knows what that is.#my accent always causes an argument at parties bc nobody can agree on what it sounds like. so who can say.#and also btw tarazna is a british private school kid. like 100%. true earth accent on that One Guy Only.#galacta knight#my headcanons and worldbuilding

The Lonely House
On a cold autumns eve in a modern rented house, a small family sits down together after a Harvest meal, bellies full and hearts open to share. They traveled here from different places to meet one another, some from as far as the rocky mountains and beyond. But in the past, they all lived together in their quaint family home, in a small prairie town just outside of the city. They reminisce about times they spent there, each recounting their own isolated experiences. Throughout the conversation, a pattern is clearly seen, and they all begin to agree on one truly disturbing reality… That house was definitely haunted.
This series contains 3 very short stories, a bit of poetry, and graphic art related to The Lonely House.
This series is non-fictional and rated +18 for mature audiences only.

I've reached season 5 on my CSI rewatch and I'm a few episodes past "Swap Meet", where a woman is murdered after attending a swing party with other couples from the neighbourhood. Near the end of the episode there's a moment that made me jump from my seat:
(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two cups. He hands her a cup of tea.)
[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - BRASS' OFFICE]
Erin Brady: Everybody fantasizes about other people. (She glances at Grissom.)
Even you, Mr. Grissom. A neighbor, a friend ... girl at the office.
[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - HALLWAY]
(The door opens. Paul Brady walks out of the hallway. Erin Brady walks out into the hallway. Sara is sitting in the hallway chair watching them. She watches as they meet and kiss.)
(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two culps. He hands her a cup of tea.)
LIKE!!!!!!!
Right after Erin ends her sentence with 'girl at the office', the first time Sara and Grissom meet again, he brings her tea. This might be an innocent interaction but to me it seemed like a nod to this relationship they have where both are into each other, know about the other's feelings, but can't/won't do anything about it (although Sara has kind of given Grissom an ultimatum). I don't know if it was intentional - I'm guessing it is, because I picked it up immediately. I might or might not have squealed in delight.
#csi#gsr#i'm very Normal about them btw i don't think about them 50 times per day or anything#need to talk more about these two here#because im obsessed about them in a Normal way#sara is like. my dream wife. i totally get grissom being in love with her for years and barely holding it together#i would not though#i'm 1000% sure she's bi. but the writers have been cowards so far#also she and i dress THE SAME. yes i love 2000s clothes so what#i could talk about her forever she's everything to me#and grissom. oh grissom. i also get why she's been in love with him forever#i mean what the FUCK went down in san francisco did they hook up and sex was so good it scared them#and now they have to live with that tension and they're scared of crossing that line#nah i'm guessing with these two they just REALLY clicked. like. they were an instant match and they knew it#but grissom didnt want to lose focus on work or whatever and they lived in separate states you know#but oh my god i totally get sara. grissom is such a silver fox. he's like one of the hottest old men i've ever seen in my life#you know what i 100% get tumblr sexualizing old men it's completely valid i'm in this now too#he has this LOOK. whenever he's angry at a suspect. and he looks angrily at them. i'm chewing on my keyboard just remembering it#and his smirks#AND THE WAY HE LOOKS AT SARA#im losing my mind#i love all of gil grissom but seasons 4-5 jesus fucking christ#ok enough with the sexualizing i love him as a character SO MUCH. he's absolutely fantastic#one of the things i love the most about him is that he doesn't judge people. whenever the team is confused about someone#or this persons' lifestyle#he's always trying to understand them and not judge them#like a true scientist he wants to understand the nature of things and people#and he's such a sweetheart i love him so much#like there are so many things i love about him i can't fit them all in the tags. same for sara#they're a perfect match for me

One day there's gonna be a person online that will take people's requests of any color and draw it in a person's skintone in a convincing way, see: a brown that looks like a light skinned white person's skin in a darker lighting, a green that looks like a healthy person's skin in neon lights, and so on.
And this will be a huge thing for the online art community in the west. I think the thing it lacks right now is this realization that the knowledge that tree trunks are brown and leaves are green are just something observed under the specific conditions of a sunny day, even in these very conditions these very leaves and trunk can look blue and purple and gray and so on if cast in shadow, especially in art
#Art#This isn't a discourse post btw#Imo this is something that holds many people back from reaching their true potential#That character's purple hair ABSOLUTELY can be 100% gray and look very natural and convincing#And this applies to everything(!) skintones are just something a lot of artists love to draw/look at#and something so 'set in stone' as skin can prove the point well#You don't even have to have a realistic style of rendering if everything goes together well (including the shade of the bg)#It'll look right even if there's close to none of actual shading and it's all base colors#Actually I will go SO far as to say you can be a beginner in art and still have this skill as it's largely disconnected from other art#skills such as cross hatching or perspective or anatomy or whatever#I suppose this is best seen in people who have years of color theory knowledge but *whispers*#you can just go crazy with csp or sai or colored pencils and if you spend enough time you can get something cute infinite monke theory styl#I won't be the person from the post though. My art lowkey too ''sucks ass'' for that. Dare I say. But someone else should. methinks#This post is sponsored by the god tier mostly Chinese twitter artists who's art I absolutely shoot down my veins rn#//#Interesting

hi!!
i'm slowly getting to respond and talk to people about this to make sure misinformation isn't being spread under my posts.
he was most probably alone, i haven't seen any reliable source stating what you mentioned as truthful. foreign students were injured, one from the nethelands, two from the united arab emirates. the gunman was NOT ukrainian. there were 13 people dead at sight, and 1 person died during hospitalization, which makes up 14 victims (stated by the interior minister vít rakušan at a conference). some sources state the number 15. that number includes the gunman.
thank you for reblogging my post, i'm trying to post regular updates, so you can always check out if more additional info has been added <3
stay safe
yes, please!! there are too many misinformation (admittedly some even between us students)
#also btw i mean that all these things are not true#as for sources idk if you're from here but tiskové zprávy a brífingy policejního prezidenta a ministra/ministerstva vnitra jsou nejlepší#případně taky primátor mluvčí nemocnic rektorka univerzity karlovy a děkana filozofické fakulty#god knows i always had beef with lehečková and the way she led her classes but i am 100% behind her in this matter#also i can share the emails from school if anyone is from ff uk and didn't get them#the main part is: the building is still closed if you left stuff there when evacuating#and we are off school till 2nd january#ask#e

Being a chestervelle shipper is so funny to me because some people believe very strongly that I'm wrong about both of their natural hair colors. They're both brunettes btw
#Jo is as much of a real blonde as I am a real redhead#and Dean Was blonde but as he got older his hair became brunette hope that helps#I have a post about how it makes more sense for Jo not to be a natural blonde anyway btw. if you even care#with all the issues Jo has I just CANNOT fathom her never dyeing her hair. her childhood and personality is a formula for dyeing your hair#there's also something to be said about how you can always see some brunette in her hair. it's never 100% blonde. something something about#never being able to completely hide your true self etc

anyways quick reminder to always critically think about anything you see. including things that sound “normal” or “correct”
sometimes fear mongering is in fact just fear mongering, even if it’s against something that should be kind of feared.
always be aware of the tendency on the internet to be hyperbolic and extreme.
very few things are 100% good or 100% bad
#this is specifically about ppl on tumblr and their opinions on tiktok#but this also applies to a lot of shit#that one law in kentucky where everyone was like ‘they’re outlawing roommates!!’#they weren’t btw they were trying to prevent exploitation by landlords#but you see fear mongering about a law from kentucky and think ‘yeah that’s probably legit’#but it wasn’t it was the internet stretching things out of proportion#‘teacher fired for forcing gender neutral pronouns on everyone!’#like no actually they were using the pronouns they/them when referring to a theoretical student not the same thing#‘tiktok will only lie to you and you should never trust anything from it ever!’#like no actually that’s not true bc that’s not how anything that involves PEOPLE works#that doctor who actually has a job at a genuine hospital and actual awards in their field probably isn’t lying to you#all of these examples just require you to either double check them or use your critical thinking skills to asses the probability of a lie#almost nothing is 100% good or 100% bad#there are always pros and cons#maybe this is bc i’m neurodivergent and take everything too literally and so i see ppl be hyperbolic and assume they’re being 100% literal#but i don’t think so#i think some of them are just too reactive to things#critical thinking#media literacy#also kinda related kinda not but some of you seem to be /real/ comfortable ignoring marginalized voices#when they are not in your preferred format#just saying…

#but also i do kinda try to hold back on my boomer opera opinions on here and my general hostility to modern way of singing#god knows ill never stop aching to ✨touch the hem of the old singers' garments✨ but i also really dont wanna shit on anyone's parade#ive kinda stopped caring at this point. a lot of people enjoy it so who am i to tell them they're wrong (WELLLLLL...... clearly a person#who just Knows Better but i dont need to flaunt it 😌💅)#ive had my share of drama on opera tumblr last year and tho i id lie if i said i dont miss it sometimes sjshsjdhdj i really dont want#to repeat the whole vagueblogging party and hear how im bitter and unhappy because all my favourite singers are DEAD! haha!#which is 100% true btw like they absolutely do have a point here sjdgsksh i AM bitter over the state of modern opera#but you see how pretentious and high-on-my-horse even saying that sounds#so before i come off as an even more unpleasant person (which im not i promise im the kindest sweetest gal you'll ever meet <3) ill just say#i hate on opera because i love opera more than anything and i know it can sound not just great it can sound straight up otherworldly#the human body is capable of producing incredible sounds and i wish so badly we could hear them again#instead of settling for mediocrity (IF that...). so many people say they hate opera because they never heard it sung properly#and it breaks my heart#having said that. ill make that post for you prommy i will
