I made a bat comic and now you have to look at it

Edit: Apparently it's "not bad" so I changed the phrasing. Um hello thousands of people. You, uh, you really don't need to follow me over this one, uhh, it's not representative of my normal posting habits.

Before we go to sleep, B and I have a little routine where I lay on top of him and tell him about whatever book I’m currently reading. We call it “story time.”

Tonight, I’m sleeping in my office because I’ve got to wake up at 5am to go fly tomorrow and don’t want to disturb him.

A few minutes ago, B appeared, sleepy and disgruntled in the doorway to request that I come participate in story time before returning to my office-bed because apparently it’s now an intrinsic part of his bedtime routine and a simple goodnight smooch is not sufficient. 😂

Fic recs please!

Hey friends, I’m looking for newly-completed or WIP fics that you’re loving right now. Star Trek, COD, and Stranger Things preferred but open to most fandoms provided the writing is solid (and no unhappy endings, pls).

I’ve been doing a lot of re-reads/searching through archives recently and am hoping for something new/recent that I’ve overlooked.

PLEASE watch this. i love chaotic sisters best dynamic in the world

Flight #5!

you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time

I'm curious about what books people consider apart of the canon for tumblr users? not just popular but also that you associate specifically from discussions on this site

like, dracula daily emails ensured a lot of people here read dracula, and i will always associate not just sherlock holmes but the pastiche hound of the D'Urbervilles with my time on tumblr. but i wanna know what other books, old, new, whatever, that people associate with tumblr

i feel like there's a big overlap with early 2010s booktubers favourites, and i would be interested in any genre and style contrasts with booktok too.

First paramotor flight(s) | Atom80 at 5k elevation

I made a compilation of my first and third flights for the mems. Hopefully I can actually land on my feet instead of my butt on my next flight(s) tomorrow! 🤞

[xiaq]

honestly i never thought the phrase “i want that twink obliterated” was like a sexual thing. like when i read the phrase i imagine “a meteor like the one that killed the dinosaurs is summoned from the heavens and hits the twink in question” type situation

Ao3 subscriptions are so fucking wild to me. Every time I write my silly fanfictions and post them 124 people get an email just to let them know that this idiot is posting their fanfictions again. I send 124 people an email every time I write smut. Imagine sending 124 physical letters out just to be like “hello everyone, I put some guys we made up in our heads through the horrors again.” Absolutely absurd. I am kissing all of you on the lips.

If Tumblr could stop automatically flagging open fields as mature content, that would be great. 🙄

Took three more flights this morning for a total of around 45 mins in the air. So worth the hours spent on groundwork (and the bruises from a bit of a rough landing on flight #2).

Car Trunk vs Car Boot: A clear win for US English, trunk was already a thing in which you stored items, frequently for transport.

Crisps vs Chips: I gotta admit, the Brits have this one. They're thin slices of potato that have been made crispy. No chipping of any materials involved.

Car Park vs Parking Lot: Equally matched. What's a car park? A place to park cars. What's a parking lot? An otherwise empty lot where you can park.

Elevator vs Lift: Both equally fail to address that the damn thing also goes down.

[xiaq]

man, The Character really strikes me as someone who would struggle with Same Problems I Have, for no apparent reason

[xiaq]

I want one of those scenes in a dude bro film where “tomboy” chick has to wear a dress to go undercover or whatever, but instead of the guys drooling as she walks down the stairs, they’re like “k. U need to stop. Go put the cargo pants back on. You look super uncomfortable and awkward in that. Brutus, you go be the fake prostitute.”

[xiaq]

Like. I FLEW. In the AIR. And then I landed without dying. 10/10 (even if the landing was 0/10) 😬🫣
