Does anyone know why I can’t report blogs? I click on the person/pawn icon and it has a “Block” option but no “report” option. Trying to report bots – I got five of them in my notifications today.
More language trivia: although in context, the Shakespearean idiom “to be hoist by/with one’s own petard” refers to an obscure metaphor about a demolitionist being blown up by their own bomb, etymologically it can also be read as describing someone being propelled skyward by their own thunderous fart.
my favorite part of this is how WAY more people know the “it can also be read as” definition than the contextual one. still fun trivia, but probably not how you meant it
In my experience, most people know neither the contextual definition nor the etymological one. Outside of French-speakers, folks familiar with the idiom mostly seem to be under the impression that a “petard” is either a hangman’s gibbet, a snare trap, or some sort of pole weapon.
I assumed it was an article of clothing worn below the waist.
I have this headcanon that when Asgardians reach Earth(Infinity War Who?), Thor and Loki start practicing new styles of fighting because of Thor’s blind eye. They come up with ideas that how they can be positioned in a fight to look after each other. Thor rejects any idea that can put Loki in more danger for protecting Thor’s blind side. Loki gets angry because of it. They practice in a way that Thor can improve his other senses and defend himself if someone wants to attack him from his right side. Even when they are not practicing, Loki randomly attacks Thor from his right side to improve Thor’s reactions. Loki teaches Thor to make a shield from his lightning and keeps it in his right side just in case he needed more protection. Loki teaches Thor how to control his elemental magic because using it without a weapon to channel it is new to him and sometimes he can lose control of it because of his emotions.
Head canon accepted!!
I just can picture in my mind Thor having some PopTarts as breakfast and then Loki running towards him screaming with a knife from Thor’s blind side
:)))) Yeah. But screaming would defeat the purpose because it makes it very easy for Thor to stop Loki. So I imagine Loki approaches and attacks Thor in complete silence 😀
Bonus points if it’s during an Avengers meet up and everyone else can see Loki but are too stunned to say shit.
You say “attack” but all I see is “casually and nonchalantly stab while Thor is waiting for his hot pockets to microwave”
I have a friend on here who is looking to get published without an agent and wants some advice for how to go about it (tips for avoiding potential scams, thugs to watch for, etc) if you’ve been published before and willing to answer some questions and help a fellow writer out please reblog or message me! It would mean a lot, from one writer to another ❤
Less Than Three Press publishes a lot of LGBTQIANb+ romances!
Edit: based on your blog, it seems like you write wlw love stories, which they are looking for, if you want to submit a manuscript. I can send you a link to their submissions site when I’m not on my phone!
I really appreciate it and I would love a link just incase I ever do finish a novel, but the post was actually for a friend of mine @vell-vet
(I mostly write a lot of queer poetry and I’m personally looking to publish a book of poems, not sure if this place accepts poetry submissions though)
Hmmm… I don’t think LT3 does poetry books, but there are places that call for poetry. Can’t give you advice on how to self-publish a book of poetry, though – sorry

Obviously I want you to take care of your pets and make sure they get food and fresh water on a regular basis, but cats being huge drama queens and screaming hysterically at you and acting like they’re tragic famine victims who haven’t eaten in weeks and are about to drop dead from starvation right mcfuckin now, because you’re 10 minutes late feeding them is always going to be one of the funniest things to me
the cat who lives at the vet clinic i volunteer at was mad yesterday because his dinner was half an hour late due to a busy day. he proceeded to go to all the (empty dw) garbage cans and tried to knock them over and started desperately scavenging for scraps of food because obviously no one loves him or cares about him and if he must eat garbage to survive then so be it
not food related, but one time my cat cried at me for 20 minutes before i worked out that the reason why she was upset was because there was a coat hanger on her favourite cushion
This is absolutely beautiful and changed my life, thank you so much. Please protect her from hangers at all costs
wow. am STORVING and humaines here making joke laugh at cate honger ?!
My cat is a social eater who is not food motivated at all, so I was baffled when I first got him because he didn’t seem to care about food but he would SCREAM at me for hours when I knew his bowl was full. Any time I went to double check that he did indeed have food, he’d book it to the bowl and snarf like his life depended on it, but as soon as I walked away he’d follow me screaming again.
Eventually I figured out that he just wanted a dining companion and was screaming about how we’re a family and families eat together, god damnit! I moved his food bowl under my computer desk and it fixed the problem. But if I’m ever out for more than 12 hours I’ll come home to find him in a passive-aggressive kitty huff because dinner has been ready for hours but he’s been trying to be considerate (unlike some humans) and waiting for me to eat it.
My cats are indoor cats. Being indoor cats, they can’t go outside to hunt for food (mice, rats, birds, etc) to gift to my sister and I.
But they know that the kitchen has food. They know where the easily accessible cat food is. And obviously my sister and I are just Really Big Stupid Hairless cats.
So if my sister and I go without leaving our rooms for too long? My cats will sit outside our doors and scream for our attention, lead us to their food bowls, and then only stop the screaming and leading once they see us sit down at the table and eat something. Because they think we’re hungry.
Your cats are the sweetest beings on the Earth, it makes my heart warm knowing that they exist. They love you very much and they care so much, they want you healthy and happy and will make sure you don’t neglect yourself and oh god they are so perfect. Real pure love exists, I am happy to be alive today.
My neighbor is a hardcore drunk. Like, 9am and dude is drinking vodka, but he had a cat that’s pretty much his honest to god caregiver because I have seen this cat visibly screaming at this man to keep him from hurting himself and sometimes when he hasn’t been outside for a while, the cat will scream at my door until I go outside to knock on the door to check on him. Cats are literal angels.
I have a cat named a Kitty Pryde who has an extra thumb and these giant paws and while she’s not super bright she did learn that she likes being pet. So I must like being petted right? So if I’m watching TV alone she’ll come up and just with her giant paw gently stroke my arm or hand until I pet her back and she waits and pets me again and it goes on a while. Cats are angels.
My cat once stuffed my bath mat into the litter box
Mine wakes me up if I sleep in too long cuz she wants me to take my pills. Fiance said she was yelling at him all day yesterday. She stopped whwn I got home…and asked him if he tooks his meds. He hadn’t.
My girlie screams at me if she thinks I’m up past bedtime. Apparently this transfers to my new roommates too: Maeve led @katculator to her room, yelled until she was under the covers, then came back to the kitchen to do the same to me.
Atem greets me when I get home from work. He’ll sit on a stool, wait til I get in, and then headbutt my hands til I pet his ears—and then scent-mark my chin.
Remember Neopets? It’s an online game where you can raise virtual pets that can grow, train, and battle one another in a virtual arena.
Although I’ve never played it, people keep mentioning Neopets to me because apparently Neopets has very weird foods. I found a list of them at JellyNeo’s and oh wow, yeah. They look like they came straight from a neural net.
Thanks to a list of 2,500 names provided by Nyssa Busko and May, I was able to see what an actual neural net program would make of these. I fed all these foods into textgenrnn, and waited to see what kind of imitation it would produce.
Turns out it loved them. It generated foods that were both exceedingly weird and entirely Neopets plausible.
Cheesy apple Orangeberry cookies Pink sundae Rainbow salad Baby sandwich Space cone Squid cheese cone Butter sandwich Moon sandwich Strawberry sand crisps Striped carrot cookie Strawberry covered crisps Green coffee Bacon bread Spiral soup Pizza apple Strawberry hot chips Spicy ice cream cereal
Some of them were weird even for Neopets foods, though. I tried my best to illustrate these, but I’m not sure if I even got close.
Terror negg Chocolate milk sandwich Chocolate dog Soysaus cookies Water sandwich Starless sandwich Purple cheese flam toast Green sliceball sundae Spaghetti burger flower Candy fried cheese barge Battle cupcakes negg
And some of these I don’t know what they are, and most of them I don’t WANT to know what they are. I illustrated the ones I could.
Slum floss Left soup Fancy stink Boron cheese core Bloody sandwich Hollow cone Meta pizza Chicken sought Sparklogg Flosh cake Potato day merry sandwich Bam steak people cake Spicy tea shaped and chocolate fount scorf long
Sometimes fanfiction is a love letter to the original canon, sometimes it’s just that one telegram that says “Fuck you. Strongly worded letter to follow”.
Three kinds of fanfic:
I love the original story
Okay, sure, but WHAT IF—
*rolls up sleeves* back off, I got this. The original creators done goofed and I’m here to fix it no matter how many thousand words it takes.
