#I'M IN IT FOR THE COMBAT

[basshole-astard]

PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!

regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!

regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.

gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!

no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!

Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!

honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3

Hot take: the authors purposefully kept the Animorphs from ever properly taking advantage of a raccoon morph (until Book 52, maybe) because racoon morphs are too OP. Change my mind, tumblr.

I guess I'm not of the mindset that there are animals more OP or UP than others. It feels antithetical to the whole philosophy of Animorphs, which is all about all animals having unexpected advantages and there being no such thing as a "best" animal.

That said. What advantages does raccoon have? Genuine question — all I know about them is a) rabies and b) trash theft.

No one on tumblr understands what a changeling is. It's not an infant troll for you to raise. It's an ancient creature, magicked to look like an infant. It's not a friendship to be fostered, it's a foe you have to beat. The changeling is not an innocent victim, it is completely on board with kidnapping your real child, and only stays with you to fool you into forgetting your real child. Changeling lore is cruel and unjust. You cannot 'win' in a changeling scenario - you either have to abuse the changeling until the trolls bring back your real child, or you have to accept that you'll never get your real child back. Changeling lore is cruel. It came about in a time of cruelty. To clean it up and make it appealing is naïve and disrespectful.

Is anyone else thinking about how one of the only things we learn about Listener culture in twok is that they do not disturb each other's bodies in any way after they've died to the point where they don't have any burial practices of any kind

And later we find out they broke off from the other Singers thousands of years ago so their gods wouldn't kill them and take over their bodies

when Kaladin apologized to Rlain for desecrating Listener bodies, do you think he felt the weight of that? That bridge four wore their bodies in a horrible echo of the way the Fused would have? That it was probably the single worst way anyone could possibly think of to desecrate a Listener's body?

I think Rlain will carry that pain for the rest of his life even if he has forgiven Kaladin and understands it was a horrible last resort

2023 has been, without a doubt, the most depressing, dire, enraging year for the internet. youtube is blocking adblockers. twitter is a racist homophobic NFT bro incel's paradise. tumblr is shoving their dumbass live service in our faces (yet it's still the most habitable social media right now). reddit had that whole API disaster thing. instagram killed hashtags and now it's basically impossible to grow an account on there...and horrific everything-phobic comments are allowed, and if you report them or call them out, YOU'RE the one who gets banned.

at the beginning of 2023, most of these websites were still themselves for the most part, but for some reason it was this year when they all decided to burst into flames. the internet is literally uninhabitable. we live in a world that's suffering from inflation, where the average neurodivergent youtube junkie like me isn't able to afford 15 dollars a month to remove ads. there are too many streaming services. everything is too much. it's too overstimulating.

How would your boys be with an MC that likes to play fight? Would they let her win? Would they refuse all together?

Sans: He does enjoy play fighting - but only the relaxed kind, and exclusively with people he really really likes. It's a lot of physical contact for him. You have no idea how much of a privilege it is that he engages with you like that, tussling and teasing when he normally can't even stand to sit too close to somebody. When the play fighting comes out, it's a very reliable sign you're one of his 'forever people'.

Oh, he'll let you win alright; oh noooo, he's pinned under a hot human, oh nooooooo truly he is defeated. He's totally dead, only a kiss can bring him back. It's the only way. Right on the mouth, please.

Red: Play fighting might as well be one of his love languages. He likes it rough, after all. A bonus of having to do a lot of actual fighting while underground is he's very good at controlling his strength, he's aware of his body, he knows exactly when to apply pressure and when to ease off. Red is probably the safest and most fun skeleton to play fight with; he has an extremely gentle nature underneath all that swagger and he loves letting it out.

He enjoys casual displays of his strength. He'll let you think you're winning, then flip you onto your back, or pick you up and toss you over his shoulder, easily disarming you. Though like Sans, he's also not adverse to "losing" and having his very hot human love interest all over him. He'll happily ruin the moment with sexual remarks too.

Skull: He loves play fighting.

... Well... he likes when you TRY to play fight. He appreciates the effort, he likes any consensual contact and anything that shows you're not scared of him. He won't be doing all that much fighting, he's far too big, as soon as he even gently play fights he immediately wins. But he'll act the part, faux collapsing when you've defeated him, even if it's as convincing as a bear pretending to be defeated by a small cat.

You'll win every time. You've gotta understand, though, that play fighting with Skull is playing with fire. He'll get swept up in how cute you look when you have that victorious glimmer in your eyes, and his cute aggression will rapidly rise. You'll end up crushed by cuddles sooner or later.

wriothesley who uses his handcuffs or boxing wraps on you because he adores seeing you squirm and pout for being unable to run your fingers across his pecs or pull him for a kiss.

wriothesley who kisses your nose with a loving grin while also folding you in half and moving his hips so he can hit your deepest spot and overstimulate you until you cry.

wriothesley who huffs and growls and snarls right beside your ear as he plays with your chest and ruts between your thighs ー because he knows you're too sore from the night before, but he's insatiable and you just had to look so cute, sitting on his chair with his jacket around you so endearingly, waiting for him like a good puppy.

"Can the Fire Nation be redeemed?" "Dude, they were about to 'win' the war using Sozin's comet, I don't think they can be redeemed the next day!"

The situation is like that the story could easily continue with many (and I mean many. Half of the nation even) FN characters still being the villains.

Their new Fire Lord took the throne via a dubious Agni Kai duel against Azula who hadn't yet been officially crowned, and their previous Fire Lord Ozai was taken down by the Avatar, who (supposedly) most of the Fire Nation does not recognize as a legitimate authority figure due to a century of propaganda that elevated the Fire Lord and FN's own "greatness".

The Fire Nation was winning and suddenly overnight, they are informed that not only do they have a new Fire Lord, they're also immediately halting all war efforts, have surrendered, are retreating their army back to homeland and are about to start paying reparations. At least half of the country would be outraged. They were profiting from the war! And they're not about to give up because a branded traitor, scarred boy king ordered it.

The peasants are mostly glad the war stopped, the industry is confused and worried about profits, and the military is furious. Zuko and Iroh would probably have a very difficult time establishing control over it, as many splinter factions would pull it apart and plunge the Fire Nation into civil war in a desperate attempt to quickly resume the old course, especially when the information about Ozai being still alive and Azula still having her firebending spreads.

There could easily be another season where these problems are tackled, and villains still aggressively bend fire and spread destruction.

The thing they don't tell you about getting into history is that sometimes you'll end up googling 18thC coats specifically to see how noticeable a flat ass would be in them.

Etoiles: Yes, but it's ok, I can't die. But- Like, Richas- Did you know- Did you know Richas you are an Egg. Do you know what it means?

Etoiles: Richas, I don't give a sht about dying myself, but I don't want you to die!

Richarlyson: AN I AS THE BIGGEST BRAZILIAN! I say you have free pass to never be banned on Brazil

Etoiles: [Laughing as he reads Richarlyson's signs] Richas, I will be ban on myself to listen to a kid of 5 years old when I'm an old-ass grown man!

Richarlyson: Tonton if a 5 months old kid die we blame the universe.

Etoiles: Richas, I know you are trying to tempt me, but I won't, because-
