i had a dream last night that i organized a tumblr meetup and we all agreed to go to a local bar together. so i go to the bar but it was a really busy night and i didn't want to ask every stranger "are u here for tumblr reasons" bc that's embarrassing and i'm shy. so i just got a drink and felt very awkward & hoped someone would approach me. tried to look inviting and like i was from tumblr but not like i was "from tumblr". when i left some girl stopped me to ask if i was there for the meetup but i was too shy and asked what's tumblr?

in the dream i went home to make a post about how nobody showed up to the tumblr meetup but my entire dash was people saying they'd gone to the bar but were too fucking shy to admit to being on tumblr so we'd all just had a drink and gone home

I have this one "OC" that does not yet have a name that I've drawn several times for a couple years. I was thinking that if I tried making them in FFXIV that I'd use elezen as a base... but then I remembered what other race have their near exact hairstyle... and now I'm like damn... I played myself...

*me immediately after going through a terrifying and traumatic experience* haha yeah I guess it was rough but I'm fine now like I'm totally chill. It was kinda funny actually if you think about it

Honestly with all the overlap between sci-fi and fantasy fans, I’m really surprised that “high fantasy in space” isn’t more of a thing.

There are some things generally assumed by most to be sci-fi that I’d personally label space fantasy, like Star Wars, where the high tech is just there as a backdrop to a classic heroic story of good guys vs. bad guys, who are definitely doing magic (by using the force). The point of Star Wars isn’t the tech or anything, it just happens to be a tale told in space. It contrasts pretty starkly with something like Star Trek, where the vast majority of episodes revolve around exploring whatever scientific or philosophical concept the writers thought would be kinda neat that week, using established characters as a vehicle for said exploration.

I think one of my favorite things about Honkai Star Rail is that it freely and unabashedly mixes sci-fi and fantasy. It just goes “You are a walking neutron bomb. Also turns out your bestie is from a self-reincarnating race of dragon people with powerful water and illusion magic. They live on this big, planet-sized ship that’s dedicated to hunting down this one cosmic horror that cursed all the ship’s inhabitants with immortality, under the banner of this other cosmic horror that exists solely to kill the first cosmic horror. Let’s go on vacation to the theme park planet, the actual resort is technically an Alice-in-Wonderland style dream triggered by the same kinda cosmic-horror-gifted bomb as you. Your new friend is a meme. By the way, did we tell you about the one time this super-genius harnessed the power of *imagination* to build a death ray that instantly obliterated a bunch of planets? That was kinda fucked up, huh.” Sometimes Star Rail tries to give explanations for its tech in a way that seems believably sciencey. Sometimes shit’s just straight up called magic or it’s from some deity or another and none of the characters present have a good understanding of why, so you all just go about your bullshit. It makes it work within the context of its established universe.

Cosmic horror in general is often (but not always) found in sci-fi, but where the point of sci-fi is to expand on and detail a concept in a believably scientific way or explore the impacts of a scientific thing, the point of cosmic horror is that there is a Thing that is beyond human understanding or comprehension. Sci-fi is a fun thing to insert it into, because the more scientifically sensible and well-understood elements of the world you have, the more jarring that becomes.

Then you’ve got things like Dungeon Meshi, which exists in an inverse of something like Star Rail: it takes a very Tolkien-inspired Dungeons and Dragons-esque setting, and then details it in a very scientifically sensible way. There is magic, and there are these fantastical monsters, yes, but the monsters are parts of their own delicate and intricate ecosystems, they are edible, and they have very particular nutritional values and ways you can cook them! The protag’s biggest strength lies in him being a nerd about monster biology. Magic, too, by the end of it, ends up with a plausible enough explanation as well. And the explanation is a cosmic horror! In this way, Dungeon Meshi, despite being built entirely off of very easily recognizable and classic fantasy tropes, is probably more accurately classed as sci-fi.

I just love all of it. Can I get like 50 more of these fucked up lil mixtures of science and magic please?

I think Slay the Princess is so popular partially because the *gets stabbed* "I'm in love" reaction is both intentional on the part of the developers and then they completely follow through on it.

Was working on something before I forgot that I can't fucking draw.

Yeah this is what a grown-ass adult's art should look like, this is the quality expected of someone whose been drawing since they could grasp a pencil. This measly scribble is worth 2 days of effort using all my free time.

Been a while since i stuffed my gut in my car 😏

I seriously can't believe how much of a pig i've been this past month. I just can't get enough fast food. This is from when I went out to find some clothes and before I went in the store I picked up 4 burgers and a large coke and finished it all in my car in the parking lot.

I think you know what happened next 🙈

lactation anon i took ur emojis & just applied them to Regular Milk😭😭😭😭😭 im sorry ik its not the same at all but as i dont go to lactation this is the best i can offer

🤒 Your character isn't feeling good at all. They don't really have much in the way of home remedies, but they know that milk makes you strong, so maybe drinking some will help them feel better? What's the worst that could happen?

🥵 It's a million degrees out and your character is desperate for something cold. Right now, the thing that sounds best is a nice big glass of ice-cold milk. They just have to be careful not to guzzle it down too quickly.

👻 Your character has been possessed by a ghost who's been craving milk for ages. They've finally got the chance to drink it again, but unfortunately, the body they're using to enjoy it isn't taking it so well, and the ghost dips, leaving your character with an upset milk-filled tummy.

🌝 Your character is a big fan of liquid bloating and decides to give it a shot with milk, determined to see how much they can fill themself up before they have to quit. Milk is a lot heavier than the water and soda they typically use, though, and it's not long before they realize this might be more than they can handle.

👰🏾‍♀️ Your character is the beautiful bride-to-be--or somebody who has to get into a fancy dress for whatever reason--and they're also prone to bloaty tummyaches. They make the mistake of drinking some milk the morning of the wedding/event, and, combined with their nerves, it sets off their belly, leaving them so bloated that they're not sure the dress is going to fit.

👩🏾‍🍳 Your character is baking cookies, and they realize the milk they're using is going to expire tomorrow. They still have a lot left, though, and make a point of having a LOT of milk and cookies that day so it won't be wasted.

🥇 Your character and their friend are having a competition to see who can drink the most milk in a set amount of time. No matter who wins, there will be no winners here.

One thing I can't stand is people who haven't actually had much experience with politics so they don't understand the difference between "policy that would be ideal" and "policy that is culturally/monetarily/politically feasible to enact" and then they attack the people who are trying to enact feasible policy irl for being too moderate when all they ever do is talk online about how great it would be if we could have ideal policies
