Recently, while staring far too long at a potato chip, it occurred to me that the ridges could possibly be used to create a lenticular effect. So I got out some chip dip (and the smallest paint brush I have) to test it out. I started with a simple 2-frame illustration of a football and a basketball, then I painted a little sour cream and onion dip bird. 🥔🕊️ - via my new @brockdavisart instagram

If I were rich here’s what I’d do with my free time okay Mermaid pranks Let me explain. So, I’d get one of those super fancy mermaid tails, like those sick as hell silicone ones that has the super long thick tail that uses like, toe pullies and stuff to make the fins move in cool and impossible ways. like this

And I would go all fucking out on this fit okay. We’re talking diving lessons until I can hold my breath for 7 minutes and go deep as fuck. Long hair, starfish, scales up to my tits, those funky contacts that make it so you can see under water, all of it- everything I could to make myself look as “thing of the deep but hot” as possible.  Then, I’d go get some shiny valuable rocks. Pearls, Uncut gems, like super fuck’n nice ones like diamonds and shit, and ofc some gold coins. Then I’d dawn my mermaid fit and hit public waterways. Rivers, beys, lakes, places where people are around and might be swimming, but where I’m not gonna die via boat propeller, and not super crowded areas where a lot of people are swimming.  Then I just prank people by poking my head out of the water and surprising them, then I motion them closer and reach into my hair or satchel or something and give them a fucking emerald, smiling all big the whole time then I just- swim the fuck away.  What the fuck they  gonna do now!? Keep it as a fun memory of that time a fuck’n mermaid larper gave them a shiny rock? Never know it’s actually valuable? Or do they take it to a jeweler and find out it’s real? How the fuck are they gonna explain that. They gonna tell the jeweler a fuck’n mermaid gave it to them?! I think the fuck not.  Gonna pop up at the peir and smile at people and give gold coins to whoever stops. Kids are gonna freak. Put a little wonder back in the world. Flirt with pretty girls. Swim down rivers, pop up and surprise some old lady sitting by the water and give her an uncut diamond then swim away without a word. 

Get a reputation as the weird lesbian mermaid who gives out precious gems and never speaks then suddenly stop without warning for like three years to give people time to forget me then do it all again.

Anyway with anti-sodomy laws back on the discussion table I'm going to repeat that you can personally be squicked out by the consensual sex someone else has, but saying that their consensual sex between willing, active, adult participants should be illegal and is indicative of some sort of moral failing is L I T E R A L L Y a major facet in extreme homophobia and absolutely has gotten people killed.

You don't have to like their business but as long as everyone involved in the encounter is saying yes, it's also really not your business.

This is the precident you are helping further by digging your heels in and saying 'but I think it's gross and makes them bad people'. This is what happened last time that was the reasoning for law, and what is being threatened to happen again.

Can I just say that no one who likes The Greatest Showman, myself included, thinks PT Barnum was a good person. Every single TGS fan I’ve met or spoken to has acknowledged it’s a highly fictionalised version of PT Barnum, so much so that TGS!Barnum is a completely fictional character, and that he was an extremely problematic person in real life. None of us think the real Barnum was a good person.

Most of us view the film like we would any other musical film; everything is fictional, these weren’t real people etc. In fact, the only thing PT Barnum in TGS really has in common with the actual PT Barnum is the same job and same name. None of us are watching that movie and coming away from it going “wow he was so revolutionary and incredible in real life!”. We know PT Barnum in TGS is a completely fictional character and that the real Barnum was shitty.

Am I still able to join the discord server? I clicked on the link and it said it had expired 🥺

Hi love, Charity here! Unfortunately that server no longer exists. We all logged on one day and it was just gone. Phillip owned the server and hadn’t logged on discord in a while, so the best we can figure is that it was deleted due to inactivity on his part. We all spent the better part of an afternoon trying to fix it, but there was nothing to be done.

[ask-the-greatest-show]

At some point, probably

Charity: let me see what you have

Helen: A Knife!!!

Charity: nO

P.T., distantly: oh my god why does she have a knife

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!”

With that scream, the doors to the Barnum’s bedroom burst open and two little giggly girls flung themselves onto the bed, practically strangling their half-awake father. Charity laughed from the doorway a her startled husband. She held a tray heavily laden with pancakes, toast, bacon, and eggs.

[ask-the-greatest-show]

Genuinely ALL of them. Every one of these.
