Aatxe

Among the numerous animal-shaped geniuses found in Basque mythology is Aatxe. Usually, these animal-shaped geniuses take the shape of male animals like pigs, dogs, vultures, goats, bulls, and rams. They are frequently found close to cave and grotto openings and are mentioned in myths about a world beneath the surface. They are closely linked to the Basque goddess Mari and are thought to be either her servants or her underlings, depending on which interpretation you choose. Natural phenomena are ascribed to these geniuses, who stand in for the forces of the earth.

The English translation of the name Aatxe is "young bull" or just "calf." For this reason, people sometimes refer to it as "red calf," or Aatexegorri.

The Aatxe is the guardian of Grottes de Sare, or Sara's Cave. When someone in his domain offends Aatxe, who often takes the shape of a red bull or occasionally a man, he is known to exact revenge. He is therefore occasionally referred to as the "enemy" or the "demon".

"Mary: No, no, it's not the English thing.

Deidre: Hope to God it's not the gay thing you're offended by.

James: there's no gay thing.

D: Because I'd be disappointed in you, Mary, I'll not lie.

M: Of course not. I mean, if anything, the gay thing sort of cancels out the English thing."

A show in which being gay cancels the sin of being English and on the street there is the 🍊 band doing the rehearsal of that f march/parade.

there will never be another song breakdown like

“we’ll dance ourselves to sleep- we’re in our jammies

we’ll dance ourselves to sleep- and thank you, lambies”

and there will also never be another song breakdown like

“though I’m not too crazy ‘bout your rubber ducky-“

“-though I don’t love pigeons, still, we’re awfully lucky”

“cause i like youuuuu”

I don't read a ton of books about science or scientists, but Katie Spalding's book, Edison's Ghosts: The Untold Weirdness of History's Greatest Geniuses (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO), which was released in May, is easily one of the most entertaining books I've read in the past couple of years.

When you're sitting down to read a book by someone with a PhD in mathematics, you don't expect it to be fun from cover-to-cover, let alone flat-out funny. In fact -- and I know that the fine folks at Hachette won't be able to use this in a blurb -- but Dr. Spalding's book is fucking hilarious! And that description is especially fitting because Katie Spalding had to have set some sort of record for creative profanity in a book primarily about science and scientists, an achievement that only makes Edison's Ghosts more entertaining by the chapter.

Speaking of chapters, I can't do justice to Dr. Spalding or Edison's Ghosts -- which was published in Harding's native UK under the even better title of The Limits of Genius: How Some of the World's Greatest Minds Were Surprisingly Stupid -- with a couple of quick paragraphs, so I'm just going to share some of the actual titles of the chapters of the book from the table of contents so you can get a hint of how amazing this book truly is:

1. The Mathematical Cult Leader Pythagoras, and His Incredibly Stupid Death 2. Confucius Was an Ugly Nerd with Low Self-Esteem 3. Never, Ever Hire Leonardo da Vinci 4. Galileo Utterly Fails to Read the Room 6. When René Descartes Got Baked 10. Émilie du Châtelet Cares Not for Your Social Mores, and She Will Fight You in Her Underwear to Prove It 13. Lord Byron, the Patron Saint of Fuckboys 16. John Couch Adams Ignores His Mail, Loses Neptune 18. Charles Darwin: Glutton; Worm Dad; Murderer? 20. Sigmund Freud Used Cocaine So Much He Thought Numbers Wanted to Kill Him 21. Arthur Conan Doyle Gets Pranked So Hard He Claims Fairies Exist 23. Real-Life Supervillain Nikola Tesla Takes the Term 'Pigeon Fancying' a Bit Too Literally 24. Marie Curie Defies All the Odds to Accidentally Poison Both Herself and Thousands of Strangers 25. Albert Einstein: Public Nuisance, Love Rat 29. Yukio Mishima and the Shortest, Gayest Fascist Coup in History 30. NASA Forgets about Women, Toilets and the Metric System

And those are just SOME of the actual chapter titles. If you don't want to read Edison's Ghosts: The Untold Weirdness of History's Greatest Geniuses after that taste, you're as big of an idiot as many of history's geniuses, as Katie Spalding so colorfully reveals in this brilliant book, available now from Hachette Book Group's Little, Brown and Company

Gotta love jikook blogs boasting about their ship being real when the two people in question are about to enlist together in the military, where gay relations are still very much a criminal offence. Not to mention the whole cultural side of it. Now is not the time to be "loud and proud" even if you've somehow convinced yourself you know everything about 2 strangers.

Okay so Madame Glask wasn’t just this normal sweet person glad to know I was 10000000% right. She’s also currently beating me up picking me up and body slamming me down with this damn scene.

I just don’t even know how to word how beautiful this is and I’m SOBBING

headcanons for the gun + goo + crystal + kouji + dg found family agenda

inspired by this lovely post and from watching the anime 💖

×

> in the korean dub of the anime, crystal referred to gun as "oppa" which means older bro basically so in conclusion the found family agenda is real, thank u for coming to my ted talk ^_^

> okay but my headcanon is that gun is proud to be an older bro figure to her and she used to be embarrassed but now she doesnt care lol

> ALSO dg's text to crystal in the anime was so funny?? he sends a vid of 2 highschoolers performing with zero context, only accompanied by a text saying "Interesting!" 😭😭

anyways thanks to that i now headcanon in their silly little group chat together he loves sending random things he finds intriguing, even the most mundane shit

ex:

(gun usually leaves them on read lol)

> in james's early days, he got a lot of respect from the others but ever since he changed his identity to become a kpop star, they've stopped taking him as seriously

goo: there's no way you want me to take you seriously when yesterday you were hip thrusting to music for the whole world to see

> gun and his awkward ass older brother energy. who is also an asshole of an older brother. he can get snarky with crystal but he never lays a hand on her. he will toss kouji and fistfight goo tho. as for james? he wants to fight him but james always finds a way to escape/de-escalate the situation lmfao

> kouji demands to be given money everytime his siblings ask him for a favor. "what's the big deal, you guys are loaded anyway!!!!"

> he also tries to use his "little brother pass" to get out of situations but it never works. never.

> goo and kouji make lots of deals with bets and mess with each other the most; they also team up together a lot to prank the others <3

> james and crystal 🤝 being the only ones who don't cause trouble in public

> family nights always end with gun or goo or both in the hospital.

james: we're going to eat out at a restaurant together and you two are not going to fight. got it?

gun: ok.

goo: sure, sure~

[they fought that night.]

[cue crystal facepalming, james shaking his head, and kouji watching with amusement as he eats popcorn]

> everyone treating kouji like a little nuisance but being protective when he actually gets in danger 🥺😭😭😭😭

> when any of the brothers cause trouble or something, they always awkwardly approach crystal like she's a mom they don't want to have yelling at them (bc they'd rather have that than actual consequences from charles choi LMAO)

gun: i killed a man.

goo: i may or may not have burnt down a building or two

kouji: um... i fought with the wrong group of hackers..

james: could you please keep it a secret from your dad that im going on vacation?

crystal: i hate you all.

Corporate office is now monitoring what we do on the internet here at work. I received a warning that I’m spending too much time on the internet. I sent HR a web usage report showing what I’ve been using for the past month……. SPOTIFY! They disabled my Spotify and said “it’s not productive”. I told HR it’s a safety issue so I don’t lose my shit on everybody here. Well next week I’ll be bringing my Bluetooth speaker and they can kiss my ass!

#the warning came from the very person who opened ransomware on a corporate computer #geniuses

It's been a year since my right-hand man Bommush passed. We had over two decades of good times and it wasn't nearly enough time. I think about this guy daily and miss him terribly.

Putting aside whatever your opinion might be on the subject, who would’ve thought, 19 years later, that the romantic lead of NCIS would be... Jimmy Palmer?
