I keep getting ads for this ai dating app called blush, and i keep watching them in horrified fascination. Because they look *almost* human. At a glance you wouldn’t see it as strange. But you look at it, you watch the video, and something is *wrong*. It’s not clear what exactly it is. Any specific element looks fine, if a bit airbrushed. But together, something is wrong, something is deeply deeply wrong, that isn’t a human, that’s a predator, and you need to run before it catches you and eats you alive and feeds you to its children

it's the start of the week, there's still time!

Uh oh! You are now a were-animal! This means you become a human-sized animal hybrid with uncontrollable bloodlust every night!

Spin this wheel to get your species

Sometimes i look at the world and remember why most of what i look at on the internet is gravity falls fanfic. Goddamn everything is on fire, but at least we have scientists with npd and evil gay triangles and old men punching the shit out of anything that threatens their families and redemption arc aus and hurt no comfort and mullet stan doodles and fanmade ocs and salamander deities and weird books

Tonight i think once again about the cannibalistic ocean-dwelling scaly llamas

HAPPY BPM DAYYYYYYYYYYYY

Happy Brutal Pipe Murder Day, everyone! Here are some of my favorite Leitner memes to celebrate. How are you celebrating?

Retribution

Also it should be a middle school math textbook. Those things weigh like ten pounds for absolutely no reason

If Gerry had killed jurgen leitner he should've beaten him to death with a random hardcover book.

I put every bird I c could think of into this wheel. Spin the wheel. You're that bird now.

ANOTHER WEIRD BROKEN POST FOR THE COLLECTION

There’s arcane content on my dash and I don’t understand it but people seem to be having a good time screaming about their faves being in situations. I support 👍

So much imposter syndrome you could call me the NotThem

Being in fandom spaces is so surreal-

Bc once your age hits a 'serious' number, you start to think - "damn, I should probably stop geeking and get more serious." But then you scroll and see a 34y/o woman writing fics after driving her kids to school, a 40y/o dude making fanart of his fav super heroes and you realize - "nah, I'm actually good"

listen

nothings really all that real. like time is split into 12s and 60s because of sumerians and babylonians. the ideal ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide is based on what it was when our specific shape of stupid meatsack evolved and thus what were adapted to. we make noises into our electronic boxes all day and they get turned into and exist as 1s and 0s on a server somewhere until someone else asks the server to show it to them at which point they're converted back into something people can read. or maybe they can't read it so they send it to another server that changes it from one human language to another and then shows the translated version, represented by a different sequence of 1s and 0s, to them. sometimes a lightbulb burns out because too much charge ran through it. your walls might have asbestos on them because it was a really pretty green and they didnt know it was toxic yet. you can actually buy peppermint bark at any time of year, its just harder to find them in spring. people do yoga with goats. pomeranians and great danes are the same species. you can usually extract an image from a webpage by going through devtools, which i only learned how to do because i wanted to see someones discord profile in higher definition. you can go to a pharmacy and get hair dye, ibuprofen, nail polish, and a candy bar in the same trip.

seriously this existence is completely arbitrary and mostly artificial and we should all just chill the fuck out. i advocate being nice to each other because nothing really matters so why make things worse?

not wanting to look stupid in front of a superior (professor, boss, etc) who just explained something to you and it makes even less sense now

reverse gaslighting where i pretend to know exactly what you are talking about

they call me the problem ignorer for reasons that i know but dont feel like addressing right now

Its post breaking time

the notes are broken 😂

Ive really only ever used tumblr, so tags on other sites are a mystery to me. But like.. does tagging “#fyp” actually do things on other sites? If it does, why doesn’t every post have that tag?

Every younger sibling I know feels like they can’t do the older sibling’s “thing”. Older sibling is a soccer player? Can’t do that! Older sibling is a computer geek? Computers are now impossibly confusing. Older sibling likes star wars? Your only two options are star trek or to forgo science fiction altogether. I don’t know why this is the case but my guess is so that the younger sibling’s successes can’t be directly compared to the older one’s, which will probably be better because they’ve done it longer.

Now, I know Stan and Ford are twins and thus the same age. But I think something similar applies here: Stan couldn’t be a nerd because Ford got the title first. So he didn’t even try. Ford would always be smarter, so he embraced his other skills (of physical prowess and later scamming).

In order to rebuild the portal, Stan not only had to process his grief and guilt enough to do things, but also get over the feeling that math was “Ford’s thing” that he was “taking over”. He had to get over the “Ford’s the smart one” rhetoric. Stan gets way too little credit in the fandom for what he managed to pull off to bring Ford back, both mathematically/mentally, and emotionally.

I love how the #the axolotl tag is all gravity falls, but the #axolotl tag is about half gravity falls and half random unrelated axolotl content
