Still thinking about this one situation in university where I had a study colleague, with whom I got along very well. I think I also had a tiny crush on him (but that’s just a side note)

So one day I asked him if he wants to watch the newest marvel movie with me. And he instantly said: „no sorry, I can’t. I have a girlfriend“

And I am still thinking about this a lot. Because after that I really got careful asking boys to hang out. Because I realized we live in a society where it is nearly impossible for a girl to hang out with a boy, without people smelling some hidden motives

Which is sad… I loved to hang out with boys, and everytime i now know one where I go: „wow, he is cool, I want him as my friend!“

I have not a single clue how to ask: „wanna grab a coffee after work?“ without the man saying: „sorry, I have a girlfriend.“

Maybe that’s dumb…. But this thought is in my head a lot

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

I had a dream that I went to a video rental store (???) and they had a gundam manga where everything was the same except the entire cast was cambrian creatures (?????)

For a bit of fun I've been working on arms for the Shivadh novels -- one for the country, one for the royal family, one each for the duchies of Shivadlakia and Askaz, and also one for Eddie, Duke of the Orange, which is a title created for him so his arms are brand new. (For the curious, Richard the Librarian does double-duty as King of Arms, demonstrating that under his orderly and slightly fussy exterior beats the heart of a vicious punster.)

Anyway Eddie's is going to involve ducks, because his title is technically "Dux a L'Orange", and I had to google what heraldic ducks might look like and I can't stop laughing.

THEY LOOK SO LUDICROUS. IT'S PERFECT. They're so adorable and dumb-looking it tickles my very soul. This is the arms of Athis-de-l'Orne in France, and I'm sorry if you live there but your ducks are absurd.

[ID: A shield-shaped coat of arms; it is white with two black chevrons on it pointing upwards. At the bottom and the top two corners are ducks done in black, with one foot forward as if they are in the act of walking; they are only very slightly cartoonish, but their odd proportions and pose are extremely funny. At least, if you're me.]

I love memetic communication when it gets to the point of being incomprehensible because can you imagine showing someone this picture

And asking them what Greek god it represents

Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences
