TIL that there's an '80s movie where they portrayed Smilodon by sticking actual fake teeth onto actual live lions.

with bonus internet points to anyone who actually writes a list:

the definition of A Character is overall yours to determine, within the following parameters:

if a Person is Symbolically Nameless, they must have a known moniker to be considered A Character.

for the purposes of this list, A Concept is not A Character unless this is specifically indicated in the text.

misspellings are accepted and perhaps inevitable.

just saw a baffling take and I have to ask: what do y'all think a cowboy...is?

#Noo I hit the wrong button! #I meant person who works with cattle #Typically on horseback #But not always #Rodeo performers are also included so I guess the one I actually chose counts too

I ffeel like I could really get my shit together if this weekend was just one day longer.

additional comment from the anon: this mostly applies to things like smut or nsfw art. I see a lot of blogs that are 18+ and I’ve always wondered if people actually listen to "minors dni (do not interact)" or if they just ignore them.

iIcntly reread a fic where the author complained about how unrealistic it for Sozin and Roku to be Zuko's great grandfathers and I've been reflecting on that in comparison to my own family.

One of my great grandmothers was born in 1924, so this year (about 10 years after her death), we're coming up on 100 years. I think my baby brother is her youngest great grandchild, and he'll be 20 this year.

Compare this to Zuko being sixteen (and Azula only 14) when his supposed great grandfathers were old men 112 year ago.

There should be at least one or two more generations in there.

#Sure my great grandma had my grandpa (her youngest son) at 26 #My grandpa had my mom at 25 #And my mom had my brother at 29 #So if Sozin and Azulon had their kids older that would stretch things a bit #But not most of Sozin's lifetime worth #Sozin's wife would have had to have given birth to Azulon shortly before Sozin killed Roku for it to make any kind of sense #And then I think canonically it was Roku's daughter who was Ursa's mother and Roku's wife was close to his own age #Unless women in the avatar world don't have menopause then there is no way for that family tree to work #There's no way that Ursa and Ozai were much over forty #the math doesn't math #Avatar

There's got to be a Toph is the avatar au out there somewhere. I'm thinking that Aang died with the other airbenders and then the next avatar was born to the swampbenders, but then proceeded to live a long and uneventful life in the foggy swamp.

That cat should be better contained. There's nothing to stop a bird of prey from snatching her up.

I believe in penny. She’s an unstoppable force.

I feel like more people should know about the Filipino phrase bahala na si Batman. quite literally, it means it's up to Batman. on a more figurative level, it means that you're leaving something to God/fate - metaphorically represented by Batman, of course.

big event that you haven't prepared for but you're going anyway? bahala na si Batman. major exams coming up and you haven't reviewed yet? bahala na si Batman. about to do anything remotely risky/luck-based? bahala na si Batman.

anyways, I just think it's hilarious that Batman is now a part of our culture through this saying. is this a thing in other cultures/languages too? let me know!

#I may have to integrate this into my vernacular #The English translation that is #I'm sure I would butcher the Filipino

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

#Following people isn't sending a friend request #You don't have to have a personal connection first #Following people is just saying you would like their posts on your dashboard

rb this and tell me what ur accent is. this has no purpose except the fact i just realized i could have like... mutuals with cockney accents or newfoundland accents or something and thats just wild

#As a Canadian who does not have the stereotypical accent #I agree that it's actually the Minnesotans who have it #And maybe some people from Manitoba/Ontario #And yeah the Newfoundland accent is similar to Irish
