i truly truly will never stop being tickled by how law's braincell count just plummets into the negatives whenever he's around luffy and kid SPECIFICALLY at the same time. like if it's one or the other he copes more or less just fine. kid's a shit-starter but he's predictable and easy (and fun) to rile up. luffy runs on baffling logic but he's fundamentally easy to get along with so long as you maintain your zen and understand that he usually doesn't MEAN to get under anybody's skin. separately they aggravate law in different ways. but when they're together kid's penchant for starting dickswinging contests (or inability to not take the bait of one) collides with luffy unhesitatingly answering with a one-up that no sane person would conceive of and what the hell is law supposed to do against THAT fuckin wombo combo. get left behind and called a bitch for it? not goddamn LIKELY!!

I was in a submarine with my parents and their coworkers, until it got attacked for no reason and it started flooding, while GFDI Dave played on the speakers. We drowned.

Russian Submarine Destroyed
The significant damage sustained by a Russian Navy Kilo class diesel-electric attack submarine after a Ukrainian cruise missile strike last week. The Kilo class boat, together with a Ropucha class landing ship, had been in dry dock in the Black Sea port of Sevastopol, in Russian-occupied Crimea, when it came under attack in the early hour of September 13.
The submarine in question is the Rostov-on-Don (B-237), an Improved Kilo boat, from the Project 636.3 class, which is capable of launching Kalibr land attack cruise missiles, of the type widely used against targets in Ukraine. This submarine entered service in 2014 and is one of four of its type with the Black Sea Fleet.

Lightoller pictured around 1941 with his son Roger, who died in March of 1945 during the Granville Raid--an enthusiastic attempt to liberate Allied prisoners of war being held in the tiny but heavily fortified remnant of German Occupied France. Lightoller had previously lost a son in the Royal Air Force (shot down over Germany, September 4th, 1939).
From White Stars, Black Sea on Facebook: Remembering Titanic’s Second Officer Charles Lightoller on what would have been his 150th birthday, born in Chorley, Lancashire on the 30th of March, 1874. He is seen here at the age of 65 (at right) c.1939 along with his eldest son Roger, who would join him shortly thereafter aboard the yacht Sundowner in his heroic and ultimately successful evacuation of 127 of the stranded at Dunkirk on the 1st of June, 1940. Twenty eight years earlier, Lightoller had narrowly escaped the Titanic disaster as her highest ranking officer to survive, pulled down near the vessel’s bridge as the liner went under and eventually finding lucky refuge aboard overturned Collapsible B.
Even had it not been for Titanic, Charles Lightoller’s life story is itself otherwise worthy of more than a couple riveting biographies. At sea from the age of thirteen beginning in 1888 (save for a brief period spent in western Canada as a prospector during the Klondike Gold Rush and later as a cowboy in Alberta), he served specifically with the White Star Line after 1900, sailing aboard vessels Medic, Suevic, Majestic, and Oceanic before transferring as Titanic’s original First Officer in late March of 1912. He saw service as well during both World Wars, and directed the evacuation of Oceanic after her grounding off Shetland in 1914, seriously damaged German Zeppelin L31 from a torpedo boat under his command in 1915, destroyed German U-Boat UB-110 by ramming it in 1918, and famously rescued personally 127 of the stranded at Dunkirk in 1940, he himself then sixty-six years old. Lightoller would live until the 8th of December, 1952 (he died of heart failure during the Great Smog of 1952).

earth fact time. cookiecutter sharks took down nuclear submarines during the cold war!! they'd bite off chunks of the rubber around sonar domes and cause the oil to leak, blinding submarines and forcing them back for repairs. the americans thought it was some kind of secret soviet technology but actually, it was these little cat-sized, glow in the dark bitches that will bite anything that moves.

brooooo world war z is amazing. can't believe they made the movie like THAT
RIGHT?
The detail and effort Brooks put into the accounts, the exploration not only of the horrors of a world ending plague set loose on humanity, but also of the (sometimes necessary) evils humanity inflicted upon itself in its wake! It felt so introspective and troubling and yet hopeful as well, and when I first heard there was a movie coming out I was so EXCITED.
Then I saw the massive zombie-tower and that they didn't even have the respect to keep one of the most basic aspects of how the zombies functioned (a slow moving, relentless but gradual force compared to a fricken wildebeest stampede) and I immediately lost all enthusiasm. Never watched it and tbh I hope I never have to, it'd make me too sad for what could have been.

Hey Zesty how would Megalodon look in Fossil Fighters style and what would it stats and typing be? You reignited my love for Meggy which I’m grateful for pard! 🤔🤠
Megdon!
Tumblr media
A very chonky lad, I decided I didn't wanna make megdon look overly scary and just made it more beautiful instead. Megdon still learns a bunch of scare skills of course, and it's a powerful close-range water type. It's not particularly fast but it does have quite a bit of bulk.
