Your typical urban fantasy/supernatural story with your average every day normal girl, and your brooding guy who turns out to be an immortal supernatural in some way.
And you have all the “romantic” cliches and suspense of will they won’t they.
Except the big moment, is basically the brooding immortal supernatural becoming the eternal dad friend to the girl instead of a romance, because ‘my god have you looked at our age difference? You’re a literal child?’ ‘Says the old man who has worst dad jokes than my actual father’
Look instead of a romance between the main two protagonists please picture a friendship where the supernatural immortal’s broodiness is just them being a long suffering old grump who is 1000% likely to adopt people, and the plucky young average girl behaves like an actual teenager and her fatal flaw is that she’s 100% willing to fight in any given situation no matter what.
When supernatural plot happens almost everyone who knows broody supernatural immortal is completely unsurprised that he’s hanging out with plucky heroine because his whole reputation is accidentally adopting stray humans.
ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
I love this idea. We used to do things like this in Improv.
Related game: “THINK ABOUT IT.” You’re given a random topic, and your job is to build it into an epic conspiracy theory, the crazier the better. You end your rant with a serious face and the command that your listeners “Think about it.”
Another related game: Illuninati. Similar to Think About It except you are given 2 completely different topics and you have to connect them to each other in a wild conspiracy rant
I think leftblr is a little too quiet about sensible drug policy and that’s really telling 🤔
Access to clean needles should be free
Testing kits for fentyl and stricnine and other laces should be free
Narcan should be free (and is given out by a lot of opioid awareness groups thank god)
Access to methadone and suboxone should be free
And this is all like… really basic stuff. I personally want full repeal of the scheduling system and other measures regarding the prison system
Drug addiction is a direct result of suppression of certain populations and the pharmaceutical industry’s push for the normalization of opiate use.
Anti drug policy is almost entirely rooted in racism and it serves to build up our prison system, while simultaneously denying addicts access to safe withdrawal measures. The war on drugs never served to help the people as a whole, and always served to isolate people of color and divide the classes even further. There’s a reason mostly poor people and/or people of color face real time for drug charges.
A lot of you are inherently against drug addicts and supplying them with clean materials because you have no idea how addiction works. If you come off certain drugs like meth, heroin, or spice cold turkey, you could DIE. Needle exchanges provide safety, health screenings, and information on recovery while providing disease free, smooth needles to taper with.
And if we don’t destroy the system that enables addicts (capitalism) then we’re not going to solve the 97% relapse rate that addicts have.
You can’t claim to align with the left if you want addicts to die. It’s a blatant ignorance of why addicts become addicts and it’s an engrained hatred of neurodivergent people.
Not to mention alcohol withdrawal as well! That shit can kill you hard fucking core and you’re in agony the whole goddamn time. Helping people taper off of drugs and alcohol in a safe environment with a lot of support is the best way for most folks to get sober AND STAY SOBER.
They’re still people. They deserve basic human respect. They deserve safety. They deserve to live, for fuck’s sake.
sam’s faces when bucky rips the steering wheel out through the roof of his car in tws are funnier than any joke anyone at marvel has ever tried to write
how are u going to tell me mermaids dont exist then
dont quote me on this but im pretty sure weve only found baby giant squids so we dont actually know how big they can be
we also know like nothing about lobsters since most of them on the ocean floor and some marine scientists predict that, theoretically, there could be submarine sized lobsters
this is all EXACTLY the way my brain works about the ocean.
Y’all remember the leviathan from the movie Atlantis?
How am I ever supposed to sleep again when I know they’re could be submarine-sized lobsters out there
listen y’all i hate to ruin your day but i can promise you without a doubt there are submrine sized lobsters. i grew up with these little bastards and i’m here to tell you, they’re definitely down there
the thing about lobsters is that they’re functionally immortal. the only thing that kills a lobster is a predator. either they molt and become vulnurable and get eaten, they lose a claw in a fight and again, become vulnurable and get eaten, or they get pulled up in a trap
so obviously the biggest ones we’ve seen are the ones we pull up in traps, but past a certain size, they stop fitting in the traps, so we stop seeing them. but they’re still down there, molting and growing ever bigger
and sometimes, draggers will haul one up. my captain’s father once pulled one up that was pushing five feet in length. but even those are limited to the max weight a dragger can haul. eventually they’re gonna get to a size where nothing short of an aircraft carrier is gonna pull them up out of the water
This is probably one of my favourite photos of all time. Altangerel Perle, a Mongolian paleontologist, with the arms of Deinocheirus.
Altangerel Perle and his Stand (Digging Up Bones)
my favorite thing is that you’d assume those arms meant some enormous terrifying murdersaur but actually
a big weird duck
Hey, you want some fun? The discovery of the REST of the dinosaur is almost as weird as the beast itself.
The original arms were discovered in 1965. That was basically all they had for a long time because most of the fossils found since then had to be recovered from fossil poachers with the help of the Mongolian government (as that’s where the fossils were found)… and that process was only really coughing up Deinocheirus bones as far back as (roughly) 2010, with actual semicomplete headless skeletons finally being assembled and announced in 2014. They finally found a skull and a whole bunch of other parts in a private collection from the black market, and once those were wrested away, it was discovered they were parts missing from one of the skeletons they’d already partially assembled. As in, the literal exact same singular dinosaur.
