radicalapologist-hugs-you-and:
oh no my heart
can someone explain this to me ? i feel dense
Basically, I think what it’s saying is that Tavros had a brain ghost just like jake (due to them both being pages)
HIS was Rufio.
Terezi could “See” Rufio.
She was seriously trying to cheer him up.
AND OH DANG THAT’S REALLY SWEET?????
oh
OH!
So pages have brain ghosts that essentially represent their potential!!
If that’s true, then it’s ominous as fuck that Jake’s brainghost is Dirk.
I think it’s more like pages have brainghosts that are there to encourage them to reach their potential.
Tav’s ghost is Rufio, who gives him confidence to do the things he’s normally too afraid or timid to do.
Jake’s ghost is Dirk, who has been pushing him to be as good as he possibly can be from the start.
a good post.
Interesting. My personal theory was just that Terezi can see people’s imaginary friends.

Well that was a shitty “Bring Your Daughter To Work Day”. (Am I talking about Bioshock or Portal? Whoooooo knoooooowwwwws)
An ex-prisoner tries to save lot of grey racist assholes and their mostly yellow gods from a former buddy of the gods by stealing old trinkets that try to kill him and asskissing his/her way up through the ranks of above mentioned racists. As a bonus the hero gets bitched at a lot, manipulated even more and hunted by zealots. Catching a nasty disease is obligatory.
^^^ Well, you sure have me baffled!
Let’s see…
Big ugly jerk and his pet talking skull try to figure out where his memories went and why he can’t die for good.
Wait, shit, I’m doing it wrong, aren’t I? :|
A bleachblond idiot goes on a mission to help his girlfriend kill herself and ends up fighting God.

Anon plz, I’ve already heard it all.
I like when people use “men working longer, harder, more dangerous jobs” thing as proof that they’re marginalized by society while completely ignoring the fact that they’re almost exclusively granted the opportunity to work those longer harder hours because women are still thought of as weak, incapable, and in need of protection. The best example is probably the American military, even if women want to put in the blood sweat and tears that it takes to rise to the top and get all the great promotions they can’t because the United States still holds onto that idea that letting a woman fight like any of her male peers would cause the country to crumble.
If women weren’t consistently thought of as weak, in need of protection, and good for nothin’ but babymakin’, there wouldn’t be any discrepancy when it came to the draft, who gets to ride in the lifeboat, child custody, and police brutality either! Funny how equality for women means equality for men too!
I know a lot of people talk about the wage gap without really knowing what it entails, thinking it just means “on average men make more money”. The most commonly used accurate example would probably be “the woman is the ‘secretary’ the man is the ‘administrative assistant”, identical duties, different salaries. My own brush with this was the first job I ever had, as a janitor one summer. They hired three students for the summer, me, another girl, and one guy. By virtue of being a dude, the guy was designated more capable somehow, given a different title and an extra buck or two an hour.
The idea was “having a dick makes you more qualified to use heavier machinery, and that means you deserve more cash”, and it meant that he would get to use things like the riding lawn mower, the rug doctor, and the floor polisher while the other girl and myself swept, mopped, and scrubbed things by hand. After maybe the second week on the job he broke his arm roughhousing with his brother or something like that, and was only able to complete tasks he could do one-handed. This did nothing to change his apparent “stronger and deserving of more pay” status, so the rest of the summer was full of fun adventures like the time he drove the riding mower over a stump and broke it, leaving the other girl and I to finish his landscaping with push mowers (that he couldn’t push due to his broken arm). Or the time he came down to have a nap in the room I was cleaning because his only job was to shampoo the rug when I was finished.
Believe me, had the requirements for the “harder” job been something beyond “Has Y chromosome” I would have loved to have taken the responsibility. The girl I was working with probably would have to. Honestly, she was probably the most physically capable of the three of us.
OP = ‘Next time you want to whine about your poor woman troubles, remember that some men still have hard lives and stop snivelling. Nobody wants to hear about you while there’s still one hard-done-by man in the world.’
That’s about what it amounts to, right?
Red blood cells under an electron microscope
Beautiful!
I am filled with trillions of tiny red spaghettios.
is it bad that I’m actually more fascinated by the precision engineering of that needle?
Like, OMG, we can see individial red blood cells and it’s still smooth and sharp and almost completely flawless. You’d think there’d be pitting but there’s just this matte finish, that is a fine needle.
I wish it was still legal to carry around swords
a lot of fuckshit wouldn’t happen if everyone had a sword on their person
Like a lot of fuckshit that wouldn’t happen if everyone had a gun on their person?

This one is longer than usual, over a thousand words. It’s a bit of background for one of my minor characters from the Azan’s Law RP I played with Liz.
——-
Today a random guy, standing with his girlfriend outside my house, both of them covered in body glitter, stopped me and asked if I was looking for him. I said no and left, and they laughed at me.
As I rounded the corner I realised I should have stared at him, gasped and said, ‘Oh my god! Come with me, we don’t have much time!’ and dragged him off in the direction of the park.
Ah, well. Esprit d’escalier, as they say.
