*sigh* I mean it was made in the CR, of course it would have to be a cautionary tale.

but I really do need to know if it kills Flight Officer Hordööp-Sklanch. He seems pretty chill

I mean to be fair, it had just started reading his poetry aloud

its name is the one thing it had to itself and you took it

[xsunbirdx]

Well I just have to say, I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT

[xsunbirdx]

It's a good thing for Murderbot that Preservation Alliance doesn't really use currency 😆

i think the reason i like cartoons so much is that i like shows where the main characters are nice, and like each other. so many shows for adults are just everyone being mean all the time

Also the Vikings were known to be complete dandies. They sought bright colors, jewelry, imported Persian silks. Ribbons. Little mirrors sewn onto clothing, in Sweden. The men had long hair that was scandalous to Christians, and they carried combs and earspoons and such things with them. I recall seeing documents where the eastern Norse were big on baths and one of their demands in a particular negotiation was “we get to have baths drawn for us whenever we want”, which was often. They used soap with agents designed to bleach hair to try to make themselves blonder. SRSLY. Look at this stuff. I’m sorry longhaired prettyboy viking men in gaudy clothing and jewelry, bleaching and combing their hair, doesn’t match with your Conan-the-Barbarian manlyman aesthetic. …or the fact that a significant portion of the Norse were traders, fishermen, farmers, and herders, and weren’t raiding, pillaging warriors or hired Byzantine thug-bodyguards.

“werifesteria”

i have a unique art style. i call it “i tried”

I really want a science fiction story where aliens come to invade earth and effortlessly wipe out humanity, only to be fought off by the wildlife.

They were expecting military resistance. They weren’t counting on bears.

I’m so sorry, but this just looks like a rip from a rap video.

Schrodinger’s Monster

The theory that when it is dark and you have been up late reading scary stories, there both is and is not a monster behind you as long as you don’t look.  A monster cannot maul you unless its existence is confirmed, so as long as you don’t look, you are safe.
