A newly hatched allosaurus based on the recent peer reviews that dropped:

#allosaurus #the “fuck it we ball” theropod #lmao #dinosaurs #dinosaur #i always knew they were vicious #but damn that paper that came out really amped them to another level #edit: for clarification this peer reviewed piece was published in 2020 i read it just now within the last few days #so while its not fresh off the press new its pretty recent

lesser evil for who? because i don't think it's the lesser evil for the gazan children being massacred or for the millions world wide who have been ravaged by us imperialism regardless of who was in the white house. the system is rotten to its core and simply voting blue once every 4 years will never save us

#“it will be even worse for gaza under trump!!” so? that means biden is cool? #fuck off #i remember how scared i was of trump winning the 2020 election and i was talking to my partner (an iraqi kurd) and he pretty much just said #lfmao idc they will fuck us over either way 💀💀 #and i was like. oh #changed my perspective a bit #so again lesser evil for WHO #and when do we stop choosing between evils and fight for something better #fuck biden and fuck voting blue #palestine #gaza #israel #free palestine #politics #geopolitics #joe biden #donald trump #american politics #biden #trump #vote blue #stop clinging to the scraps of lesser evils and force yourself to confront reality #then start pushing for better #genocide joe #butcher biden

Shopping Trip Detour

[AO3 Link]

It was a beautiful day in Toad Town, and Mario and Luigi had just finished their grocery shopping.

Bags loaded into the back of Luigi’s kart, the two of them had decided to wander around town for a little while longer before going home; it had been a while since the last time they’d visited. And the Toads made sure they knew it, too, waving at them and calling out to them and roping them into enough small talk to make their heads spin.

In a lull in socialization, Luigi examined the surrounding shopfronts. “That one looks new,” he remarked, gesturing to the colorful sign of what looked to be some sort of toy shop. He changed course towards it, and Mario followed behind him.

Peering through the window, Luigi contemplated the thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle and the little robot with its remote resting in its arms, and whether he could convince his brother to buy either of them for him. He glanced at Mario, considering. Mario was also looking through the window, but his focus was further inside, where the presumed shopkeeper was arguing with a person in a hooded cloak. The person was leaning over the shopkeeper threateningly; the shopkeeper was gesticulating wildly, face dark.

Mario pushed the door open. The sound of the little bell connected to it drew the attention of the squabbling pair. From where Luigi still stood outside, he saw the hooded figure turn for one last parting insult before pushing past Mario to exit the store. The shopkeeper yelled something unintelligible but no less angry after them.

While Mario dithered in the doorway, staring after that mysterious figure thoughtfully, Luigi squeezed past him to enter the store himself. The interior was quite modest — and mostly full of toys for much littler kids — but the sprawling active toy railway network hanging suspended by the ceiling was particularly impressive. Getting all of those toy trains up there to begin with must have been quite the ordeal!

As Luigi ruminated over the existence of extremely tall ladders, Mario went up to the shopkeeper to ask what that earlier patron was arguing with him about. The shopkeeper huffed, pointing at a figurine sitting in an unassuming display near the back of the store. “That uncultured idiot was talking about her like she’s some common doll he could buy for cheap!” he spat. “As if! She’s the rarest item of the series and the highest quality! Show her some respect!”

Luigi walked over to the figurine. A little plastic woman wearing a semi-elaborate gown stared dourly back at him through her glasses as she posed with a wizard’s staff, her hat barely fitting over her puffy hair. She was very pretty, but Luigi wasn't really sure she was worth the shopkeeper’s continued rambling about “scales” or “articulation” or whatever. There were certainly other things in the store he would rather spend his money on, at any rate. But when Luigi turned to whisper as much to Mario, he found his brother reaching into his pocket for his wallet.

“Eh?” Luigi goggled at him. “You wanna buy that?”

The shopkeeper crossed his arms. “Oh, yeah?” he said, going for an air of nonchalance and mostly failing. “That’s cool. But you’re not getting a discount just because you’re a celebrity.”

“How much is it, anyway?” Luigi asked, and then regretted asking because then the most absurd price for a vaguely fancy-looking toy left the shopkeeper’s mouth.

Mario rocked on his heels in shock. “But it’s just an action figure!” Luigi exclaimed.

“She’s not an action figure!” the shopkeeper shouted over Luigi’s immediate apologies for setting him off. “She’s priceless! I’m doing y’all a favor!”

Hesitantly, Mario began counting his coins. Luigi watched with bated breath. With a frown, Mario emptied his wallet. He didn't have enough.

“Too bad,” the shopkeeper said, not looking all that sorry. “Guess she’s not going home with you!”

Mario’s frown deepened. It tugged a frown onto Luigi’s face as well, and after a moment of watching his brother sulk, he sighed. “Alright,” he said, pulling out his own wallet.

Luigi counted his coins. Mario watched him with bated breath. While he didn't have nearly as much money on hand as Mario did, on account of being the one to pay for the groceries earlier, it was somehow enough to make up the difference. Mario beamed at him.

---

Sale made, the bros exited the toy store, their purchase dangling from Mario’s arm, both politely ignoring the shopkeeper’s tears about the loss of his “Darling Dami” — the name of the character the figurine was modeled after, apparently.

As they walked, Luigi asked Mario, “So why did you really buy that?” because Luigi knew full well that Mario had no idea of the show the figurine-lady was from, let alone anything about her specifically.

Mario only winked. With purposeful steps, he made his way towards the outskirts of town. Luigi followed behind him, full of questions but nonetheless letting his brother lead him to a clearing just outside of town, where that hooded figure that had been in the shop before them was grumbling about stupid Toad stores and their ridiculous owners. They reached into some hammerspace and pulled a broomstick longer than they were tall, and the motion of doing so knocked their hood off their head, revealing —

“Kamek?!”

Kamek started, whirling around to face them. “Wha — you?!”

Out of all of them, Mario was the only one who didn't look surprised. How in the world had he known?

Kamek was the first to recover, schooling his expression into something sardonic. “Two against one?” he drawled, brow raised. “That’s hardly fair.”

Mario shook his head. He reached into the bag on his arm and pulled out the box containing the figurine they’d bought.

Kamek’s face soured. “Oh, of course it was sold to you. Here to rub it in my face, then?”

Mario shook his head again. He put the figurine back into the bag and held it out to Kamek. Kamek regarded it warily.

“We bought it for you,” Luigi added, finally catching on to what Mario was trying to do. “No need to thank us!”

“I wasn't going to.” With a harsh wave of his wand, the bag was ripped out of Mario’s grip and settled on the end of Kamek’s broomstick. With one hand securing it, he gave the bros a long, considering look and then flew off, kicking up an unnecessary amount of dust that had the bros coughing and shielding their faces. They watched him shrink to a speck in the sky in silence.

“...You're doing my laundry for the next month.”

Mario made a face.

“That was all of my pocket money!”

Mario sighed.

#dont mind me this wip is from 2020 lmaooo i just wanted to get it off my plate #also i couldnt decide what the figurine was gonna look like so i was like 'fuck it its me but a magical girl' #because i'm a writer and i can do whatever i want #anyway #mlv.fic #smb #super mario

Yknow if they just didn't add dates to the tapes I don't think the lore of the roblox game would be as bad

#Chip Chatter #the fact it's in roblox is still ridiculous I won't act like it's not #but the DATES are what throw me off the most #other than that it just seems like typical AR shit #company makes robots for Special Delivery service using weird chips and maybe some soul/remnant bs #like that's #that's whatever #it's just AR from a different perspective idc #but 2018-2020 makes NO FUCKING SENSE WHAT ARE THEY ON!!!!!

strength and temperance for thanatos? 😳👉👈 thankyouu😳❤️

Strength - How outwardly passionate is this yandere around their darling? 

Easily one of the most different around their beloved in private vs in public, even when he is utterly smitten, he can't change his stony exterior. So in public he's sliiiightly kinder and softer to you than his other close comrades, but in private it's a whole other matter. Only when he's alone would you find him acting emotional, and honestly needy for you and your affections.

Temperance - What made this person yandere for their darling? 

As mentioned before he's very emotionless and coy on the outside, so even if he were feeling a romantic connection, he would likely need at least some kind of romantic validation or security from you to feel as though it were "safe" for him to pursue you like this. Likely, Than is more drawn to people who exude "warmth", "security", people who embody what he struggles to provide for himself.

(Also, if you happen to gain his mother's favor, he will be all the more sure you're the one for him!)

it’s finally starting to settle in that christmas is in 3 fucking days

#like. it doesnt even feel like winter #maybe i’m js getting older but last i checked i was counting down the hours and it was getting hard to sleep at night #it was a “its finally cold out! my favorite time of year! we’re off on break! christmas is almost here!” #n now its a “oh right christmas. free stuff” #my parents apparently have something big planned for my 18th this year and i can’t bring myself to even look forward to it? #like. yeah. my fucking eighteenth birthday is in like a week #and the start of a new year is less of a celebration and more of a sigh of relief #its more of a “yippee. another year. at least it’s a fresh start.” #i think this is the 2020 effect #2020 was 4 years ago guys. that is absolutely insane #its not even nostalgia it’s just “wow. okay.” #its like getting punched in the gut yk #2020 was the last year the holidays felt right. #now my whole life feels like a blur and i cannot believe it was four whole years ago #and now we’re entering 2024 with nothing but see you again by tyler the creator and a few loose hopes #the election is this year #maybe things will fix themselves and go back to normal #thats all ive ever wanted since 2020 ended. was for things to just be normal #after the masking mandates were lifted i felt like maybe they could #but im just kinda being rushed through life #and i wish it would just be normal.

there's a road opposite me that used to just lead to a school and a footpath, but they're building houses on the field behind it so the footpath has been turned in to a road to get to the building site and double yellow lines have been put in the existing road and thats all fine. but this morning we could see someone painting words on the road and when they left we realised it said 'private road no through' which we found funny because it doesn't make sense, my mum posted it on facebook (dont i know its embarrassing) tagging the locally councillor and he was like 'erm. who's done that'. then we've realised its not even the right font that they use on roads and it absolutely was not the council who have done and the councillors like 'well we might not ever find out who did it' ?????????

#3 housing estates have been built off my road since 2020 and every single one has caused everyone nothing but grief #but this is just so funny what the fuck is going on hahahaha #stacey speaks

Matt on Muse ♥︎ 

On Zane Lowe's Apple Music show during lockdown, talking about recording Tomorrow's World

#fucken did it #pretty post achieved. hah! #Matt Bellamy #Muse band #Muse #gifs #Muse quotes #I love that they have what they have #bands #music #musicians #Muse interviews #Zane Lowe #2020 #Tomorrow's World #rock bands #Matthew Bellamy #the last gif kept fucking up and it pissed me off a lot so it's under a cut #it should've been spaced better and I just couldn't deal with it for longer than 20 mins

you know. it only just occurred to me that i've never shared a particular assortment of OCs on here??? (<- notoriously bad at talking about his own cretins and knows it) they've been on the mind lately because i wholly intend to torment a couple of them this year but i'm not quite sure as to how yet soo.

i feel like y'all might be partial to a certain Dr. Thorne because she's very normal and very well-adjusted (lie). she's also 6'2 and once beat the shit out of someone with a fire extinguisher. she's a very cool and swell gal and there's nothing wrong with her at all. :)

#texts. #i've been holding off mostly because i don't know what to do with Callan. #god i've been sitting on these four since 2020. #tbf two of them were originally a stobot reskin but i've stripped them even further of their origins and now they're just Some Guys. #Emil is also very very cool and chill and not all batshit fucking insane. #Julien is the only one with a level head and that's why he gets to have a gun. <3 #those of you in my server already know who they are/look like even tho it's been YEARS.

fuck it’s 3am and I can’t get my wheezing under control and I’m tempted to use my nebulizer but it’s loud af 🙃 I’m tempted to wait until my mom leaves for work but that’s in like 3 and a half hours

#We’ve also got so many dishes and I gotta do at least some of it 😭 #I’ve literally been wearing a mask to sleep hoping to reduce how much dust and hair I’m breathing in #But I didn’t hydrate well enough today and my nebulizer session today felt like it was wearing off quicker than usual #I really need to see someone… #We’re working on getting me disability so I can be on my mom’s insurance #Covid has genuinely ruined my life even before I caught it earlier this year #And now it’s seemingly destroyed my lungs #I had agoraphobia like 2 years before Covid and I started getting it under control in early 2020 #Now I have agoraphobia because im terrified of unnecessarily risking illness #That was before my lungs got so fucked up now I’m scared a second infection will actually kill me #I keep thinking of how much I let my guard down at that small NYE party/wedding party at my cousin’s house why did I not keep my mask on? #The pressure of social a situation that I felt wrong footed in might literally kill me great 🙃 #What’s so fucked up is the fiancée literally was going to have heart surgery soon and I have no clue if he got Covid #I’m convinced I got it from the bride’s relative who I literally had never met before #But who I felt socially pressured to hug for NY I just hate it I feel so stupid
