I love this so much, I’m gonna start saying “nuts” we need to bring it back

I love animals that are, like, the opposite of cryptids: we know for a fact they exist and have a clear idea of what they look like because we have photographs and individual specimens, but we haven’t the faintest idea where they’re coming from - they just keep showing up out of nowhere, and the locations of their actual population centres are a complete mystery.

"Baby...We can’t both exist. I’m going to become half of you and I need you to know that every moment you love being yourself that’s me loving you and loving being you because you’re going to be something extraordinary…. you’re going to be a human being."

I tried to save as much of Jay's commentary from the livestream as I could (the chat was moving pretty fast) so here you go!

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

Made friends with the old lady in the waiting room, both of us waiting for ultrasounds. She went in first. When she walked out and then made eye contact with me down the hall. She gave me a thumbs up, and a smile I could see even through her black KN95 mask. Good luck! She clearly was saying. Bye!

Then her brow furrowed and she pointed at the technician behind her back, and gave me a HUGE thumb’s down. … then pointed again and gave a bigger, more exaggerated thumbs down. pray for my coochie y’all

The thing about Monster that I'm currently obsessed with: the way Odysseus humanizes his enemies as he dehumanizes himself. He correctly describes the motivations of the Cyclops, Circe, and even Poseidon which takes a level of understanding that people struggle with under the best circumstances. But then in the same verse he describes himself from the view of the Trojans. ("Does a soldier use a wooden horse to kill sleeping soldiers because he is vile?")

and of course the whole song is "Monster". If Odysseus can't stop seeing his enemies as people (seeing his own son in the Trojan infant), if that is what is killing his men and if there is no future where he makes it home as the person he is, then of course he has no choice but to stop being a person.

I will say it is hard to be nice to people here when so much of casual tumblr vernacular is just… inherently hostile. Some of you genuinely do not seem to understand that there are alternatives to flippantly insulting strangers.

U keep reblogging coffee poll are you ok?

It's sparked a separate unrelated thread about my caffeine habits in particular and because of how this site works, answering them means sharing the poll again, it's such good design, what a website
