my poison ivy hot take is i actually think she would be some kind of weird carnivore rather than a vegetarian because she only really has empathy for plants and sees most people as meat sacks i think she would eat people is what i'm saying. what i'm saying is they should let her do sexy lesbian cannibalism

the fact that a river ends at the mouth implies that the source is the anus, and a river flows from anus to mouth

not for this one I don't think so

I want a peek into the universe where all my favorite gay cartoons got to exist in their full glory and work in all the plotlines that were originally planned before the shows got censored, shortened, or outright cancelled.

I also wish people would stop saying that those shows "felt rushed" and use that as evidence that the writers are unskilled or lazy. Like, duh, jackass, of course they felt rushed. They were rushed. By the network. Because they got fucking cancelled. God damn it.

Y'all ever notice that it's always the writers who get blamed for issues with shows? Even when it's really blatant that the network was fucking them over?

Support the WGA strike, support writers, stop blaming them for shit that's the result of studios and networks trying to play god and dictate what's allowed to be shown on television.

- What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey Gordon

Ok so for those who didn’t see the news, recently 5 rich people went “””missing””” (they’re totally fucking dead) in a “Titanic tourist submarine”, basically made as a way rich people can tour (what’s left of) the Titanic’s wreckage for a small fee of $250,000 per person.

Anyways, setting aside the horrific implications of dying in a submarine at  13,000 feet (~4km) below sea level, the more I learn about this entire situation the more I become morbidly…amused??

so for starters, the submarine was literally the submarine from Iron Lung. its a metal cylinder with one singular porthole at the front of the vessel that is bolted shut from the outside, and has no seats, its literally just a cylinder

the second thing you need to know is that this thing was wireless, as in it was being controlled from the surface and the people inside had no control, which is concerning in multiple ways because a ship this scuffed should have a safety cable leading to the “mothership” (basically if you’ve ever watched ocean documentaries and they always have that long cable attached to the sub, that’s for in case the wireless control fucks up and they need it to be wired)

what makes this little fact so much more morbidly funny is that this thing was controlled using the remains of a Logitech Gamepad controller from ~2004/2005, a controller notorious for being one of the most clunky pieces of gaming equipment ever designed. so clunky in fact that few people even recognized it, originally mistaking it to be a combination of an Xbox 360 and a PS1 controller. estimated price of $30.

“but Fortune” I hear a very few of you asking, “it shouldn’t matter what its controlled with, as long as the connection is good”

and to that my dear reader you would be correct! there are indeed submarines out there controlled with even simple joysticks, and using game controllers to control stuff like this isn’t new (why do you think army recruiters prey on low GPA high school gamers to fly drones)

no you see the issue comes when you realize that what this sub was using to transmit controls. was fucking. STARLINK.

Yes, that’s correct, Starlink, the service that can barely do its job on land was being used to transmit data through 2.5 miles (4km) of water, at a depth where anything that isn’t highly pressurized is crushed instantly 

—–

And at the end of this, if some of you still feel bad for the rich people who spent a quarter of a million dollars to get bolted into a metal cylinder with no seats and a singular porthole that was being controlled by Elon Musk’s barely functioning wireless service and one of the most notoriously clunky gaming controllers of all time that was probably bought from a thrift store, just know that it was most likely over quick. 

The likely thing that ended up happening was cabin depressurization, and at such a depth this means they were knocked unconscious by the rapid loss of pressure in the vessel almost instantly, and then shortly thereafter crushed by the weight of the ocean around them. 

Scientifically speaking, they were likely dead so fast that the brain likely couldn’t even comprehend what was happening, the most they would’ve felt is a little pop in their ears for a fraction of a second.

tw x mbav gets me so bad bc like.

Ethan and Lydia both being psychic except Lydia envies this sense of control that Ethan seems to have. His visions have some sense of direction, while hers are dark and unpredictable, unwarranted, filled with death and sadness. She wouldn’t wish it on him, only wishes that whatever being or entity out there that granted them these visions had shown her some mercy and given her that level of control too. Ethan not knowing how to explain to her that his powers scare him too, that he can feel a light in her that is bound to her desire to help others with her power. Their wish that they could do more than just predict, but prevent, protect.

Sarah and Scott loving their friends and wanting to keep them safe, but feeling this ever-present dread that stems from their fear of becoming the worst version of themselves. A version that doesn’t hold back, a version that has lost all morals, a version that doesn’t care about protecting the people dear to them. A version that gives in. Scott understanding why Sarah doesn’t want to embrace the monster side of her because of it. Sarah expressing those painful and all-too-familiar thoughts of regret that she ever became a part of the supernatural world. Their struggles and victories in learning to accept all parts of themselves and find balance again.
