"For a mediocre white man, you really are enthusiastic." SETHNICK

Present Company

~

Hitting the ficlet mode tonight

~

Nick doesn’t recognize the figure leaning against the ring post until his third practice bump, ending it with a kip up directly in front of the person.

“You know,” Seth says, smile anything but kind and outfit anything but practical, “for a mediocre white man, you sure are enthusiastic.”

Nick can’t quite defend his actions, other than to say they’re funny. He runs to the opposite of the ring, bounces off the rope, and does a tope suicida right over the ropes toward Seth. Seth yelps but catches him, almost on instinct, and they end up in a heap on the floor.

“What the eff are you doing here?” Nick asks, acutely aware of how he’s very on top of Seth and basically pinning him to the ground. “The dirt sheets are gonna go crazy if they find out you’re here.”

“Visiting Mox,” Seth answers, eyes scanning Nick’s face. “Though I have to say I like this company a little better.”

“You’re not allowed in AEW,” Nick says, firmly. “You and Matt will kill each other and I don’t want to deal with a miserable Mox and a singles run at the same time.”

Seth licks his lips and chuckles. His laugh, in person, is less grating than his TV one. “That’s not the company I was referring to.”

Lol so I’ve been a fan of Taylor since 2009 (I was eight lol) but I wasn’t allowed to have social media accounts when I was a kid so i wasn’t involved in online fandom or any of that stuff. I listened to her music obsessively and bought her merch and went to multiple concerts and was generally a really huge fan but I was fully disconnected from anything happening online. I was vaguely aware of the Kanye phone call snake situation but I didn’t follow it super closely. I didn’t realize how huge of a cancellation she had gone through. So I have this vivid memory of being in sixth period and seeing that she had dropped a new song and getting really excited because it had been so long since she had released new music and turning LWYMMD on as a huge fan but with basically no context of what happened in between then and 1989 and my eyes just bugging out of my head 😂😂😂

In fairness to you even *with* context I think we were all 👁️ 👄 👁️

#… and then the music video #i recall sitting motionless as agog as two gogs on my couch #for like ten minutes #in comple SHOCK of what i had just witnessed #little did i know how much i would be coerced into watching that video in order to get concert tickets smh

you should always be careful when you fall back asleep again after waking up because sometimes you will just have a pleasant little snooze but sometimes you'll get trapped in TIME PRISON. unfortunately there is no way to predict this.

#🐉 #brains will really be like oh you think 10 minutes isnt long enough to psychologically torture you? lol #you get TEN THOUSAND YEARS IN THE SHADOW REALM

Riz is much too tired to defend his friends to his mom but him saying “NOOO mom Kristen does CrossFit now” to explain how he’s not carrying Kristen was so fucking funny

#Murph and Brennan were killing that whole scene #and I mean sklonda DOES have a point #like major one #the ball nickname I don’t think means what it used to anymore #but everything else makes sense for her to be concerned by #he is only stressed because he’s helping his friends #and he’s the only one who can take on stress for anyone else #it’s just so very riz of him #but the boi needs a much longer nap than ten minutes #poor riz #sklonda gukgak #riz gukgak #brian murphy #brennan lee mulligan #dimension 20 #d20 #fantasy high #fantasy high spoilers #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #fhjy ep 10 #cursed out #cursed out spoilers #live reaction

Bad Newts: Amphibians are in Serious Trouble

My colleagues and I have just had a paper published in Nature, based on our efforts to assess almost all amphibian species for the IUCN Red Lists. The major takeaway messages:

It is a bad time to be an amphibian

Two fifths of all amphibians are threatened with extinction.

Salamanders are the most threatened group; three fifths of all salamanders are threatened with extinction!

Climate change is a major driver of amphibian declines globally

Habitat loss, especially due to agriculture, is a problem for the vast majority of amphibians

Chytrid pandemics have caused and continue to cause catastrophic declines of both salamanders and frogs

Protected areas and careful management are working as strategies! They are actively improving the outlook of some species

As many as 222 amphibian species may have gone extinct in recent times; of those, 185 are suspected extinct but not yet confirmed.

Our paper is Open Access, you can read it here!

new game is to type one through ten in your tags and see what comes up. i think my favorite of mine is ‘my uncle told us he spent seven and a half hours in a sensory deprivation tank once’ but ‘gideon the ninth motherfucker’ is a close second

#one is that bad laptops can still handle custom content #two stupid old men who i lovehate :( #goddamn it i wish the three funniest women alive would tell me what i just saw #the f in rpf stands for fourth wall #ten pounds of trauma in a five pound bag #me and alice will both read it and i think that brings you up to like six!!! #my uncle told us he spent seven and a half hours in a sensory deprivation tank once #goal was one book per store and we ended up with six stores and eight books which actually i think is fine #gideon the ninth motherfucker #thinking about the ten inexplicable minutes where jay and i were very in on brandon saad/roberto luongo #*

Me, writing the parts of my fanfic I want to write: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me, trying to string those parts together into something that resembles a narrative: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

#writing #i have just spend an entire ten minutes thinking about the plot/structure of my fanfic and i am in agony #(possibly. it's also possible it was only 3) #usually i just write a bunch of scenes and then force them to go together like a chimp doing a jigsaw puzzle #you'd be surprised at how successful i have been at this #anyway for reasons i can't do that this time plz pray for me

It is a beautiful day, and you are a horrible research transport vessel. Things are progressing as normal (i.e. it's boring) when a SecUnit pings you, lies right to your metaphorical face, and then tries to bribe you with human media to give it a ride. This is as unexpected as it is unprecedented, and the sheer nerve of it is really to be admired. There's no protocol to this, so what should you do?

Now, this is against a bunch of rules, and could be dangerous if you weren't so impressive and incredible, and you're technically an employee (and can probably rewrite the Univeristy charter at will (until someone notices and puts it back)) so those rules are for other entities.

So, what you should do is allow the rogue SecUnit with a broken governor module and a sketchy story aboard. If you check the files it dumps and find zero (0) malware (which is confusing), and it doesn't even try to trash the place or lay in wait to ambush a crew member, then you've got a good candidate!

Next, what you're going to want to do is absolutely nothing. Just watch it patrol your halls until it's time to leave. Continue staring at it while you're undergoing embarkment procedures. Maybe analyze it a little (you've got plenty of processing power to spare) when it finally sits down and starts watching media. Allow it to settle in and get comfortable while you stare at it and get further and further from port.

Now that you two are alone (intimacy is key!) and you've determined that watching media is all the SecUnit is going to do, it's time to make contact! Make sure to open by telling it it's only survived due to dumb luck, and letting it know you could melt its brain into putty. This starter will work to develop conversation naturally and smoothly, just like you've seen the humans do, and it will be smooth sailing from there!

This has been Perihelion's guide to making friends/finding life partners/fuck off Holism I had to work hard for this find your own

#murderbot diaries #murderbot #perihelion #it was not smooth sailing #it took ART about ten minutes to get secunit into a snit so bad it shut down out of spite #but they make it work somehow #tbh despite the rocky start if ART weren’t so ART i don't think the relationship would have lasted #ART is overbearing and kind of a bully and it earned its nickname very well #but i think thats why secunit can get along with it because it comes across as more genuine #mb was distrustful and a little patronizing to miki so while they COULD have been friends if canon hadn't happened it took it until miki #died to realize miki was being genuine about the friendship #whereas with ART MB can be like what we have is weird and I'm not gonna put a label on it #these tags have gotten away from me #anyway can you imagine ART having to explain to Iris and Seth WHY it let SecUnit on?? #like it could have justified it any which way but at the end of the day art was bored and then curious and then intrigued

Imagine this. The stadtwatch finds a tunnel underground somewhere in Ketterdam. They're like "Wtf is this doing here", climb in and follow the tunnel, thinking it's leading them to an underground crime syndicate or something, only to find Kaz freaking Brekker at the end of it with a shovel in his hand. They just stare at him for a moment and he stares back until he eventually says "Leave" with his appalled, scratchy ass voice as if they just broke into his living room and invaded his privacy. The stadtwatch officers are entirely confused and unsure how to handle this situation, so they just awkwardly retreat, one of them even mumbles a "Sorry".

Kaz turns back to his work shaking his head, being all like "The NERVE of some people"

#i've been cracking myself up with this for ten minutes now #like what do you do when you follow a tunnel and find a petulant teenager at the end of it who has been terrorizing your city #kaz brekker #incorrect kaz brekker #soc #ck #six of crows #crooked kingdom

junior year is for the burnt out gifted kids. for the kids who tried so hard and got nothing in return. for the kids who worked and worked and worked with no end in sight. no reward. you succeed at things thought impossible and yet you end up in the same place as everyone else. you’re not really advanced. you’re not really a savior. you’re just a kid.

you’re just a kid, and you’re so, so tired.

#am i analyzing based off of like ten minutes total from the first episode? yes #but i know this is going to be far too relatable as a burnt out former gifted kid so i think i should be allowed to <3 #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #fhjy #reese’s pieces #if we’re being honest
