Hmmm….

Hmmm……

Oh come on!

Someone had to make this comparison eventually!!!!

It’s a coincidence, most likely.

Lower Decks icons for some of my favourite minor characters/deep cuts, because I had so much fun making my Knicknac icon. Screencaps from some youtube videos, memory alpha, and @trekcore

128 px square, might look a little rough on dash but should be fine for a tumblr avatar

Working on the next chapter and I never expected my brief hyperfixation on sperm whales like 10 or 15 years ago would ever come in handy in a fanfic but here we are.

The Red Thread: Chapter 158

The Library of Pastaxandria has recorded for its shelves: Chapter 158 of The Red Thread.

Ship: Matt Murdock x F!Reader

Chapter Summary:

You froze, your blood running cold. Fuck. Fuck. Fuckfuckfuck— Karen slowly spun to face you. There was a triumphant light in her eyes, the gleam of it fiery and merciless. There was only one way out now. “I’m having an affair with Daredevil!” you blurted out. Or: in which you and Karen have a Very Important Talk

Wordcount: 9.8k so a NICE MEATY CHAPTER, LET'S DO THIS

Warnings for this chapter: some metaphorical descriptions of the deep ocean (I'm sorry to thalassophobia but it's for plot purposes), and a joke about pregnancy (the pregnancy is not a plot clue either, I say that seriously this time).

Read me on AO3 to find out why Matt is basically a sperm whale

do you ever think Lance feels cheated that he didn't get hit with the 'get buffer in space' beam. I mean. I think it's his fundamental nature to be a beanpole, but do you think he ever looks at Shiro, Matt, and Keith and wonders what he missed out on that they got.

I don’t remember if this was a niche joke at my school or an internet thing, but there was a point where everyone was freaking out about how at one point in evolution horses were bigger than whales.

I feel like Andrew would say that fact at some point and the Foxes would have a meltdown before putting on the documentary explaining that bit of evolution. At the end one of them would state they are less trusting of horses and another would insult whales for going back into the water.

On this rainy morning, Matt was trying to approach a mother and her calf.

Mom was resting below, coming up for air every twenty minutes, swimming a little while before heading back down.

Her calf was quite shy, coming up every five minutes (they can't hold their breath very long) but would quickly return to his mother.

Matt stayed at a distance for a while, observing how they would react to his presence. Their behavior didn't change, so he was not perceived as a threat. After some time, Matt dove.

The two were resting at about fifty feet deep and he managed (almost out of breath) to capture this image which expresses pure love to him.

Matt left soon after that. Although he wasn't seen as a threat, they didn't show any interest in interacting with him either. This was reason enough to leave them alone.

Being able to have a glimpse of the particular bond between a mother and her calf was a privilege.

Bit more about my au that's still being worked on:

First up the dc friends ;

Bruce Wayne is a retired wrestler, trained the bats a bit (that's really their only connection here) , but he's doing commentary now. Has a very clear rivalry with one of the other commentators.

Ted Kord does more of announcements instead of commentary. He'll be down with the other two when he feels like (which is most times honestly) ((pretty much he says this person is here and stuff))

Jason Todd is a wrestler. Uses the name Red Hood (@livingzombie is his handle). Pretty much his deal is. He got bored so took an unannounced vacation that last a few months. He comes back w/ a new costume and a tan. Fans start saying he was risen from the dead as a joke and he goes "that's actually hilarious. I'm doing that" and starts leaning more into being a "zombie" during matches (does like decaying flesh make-up with bones showing) ((his matches get blood sometimes))

Astra Logue is aged up to be an adult (like in legends of tomorrow) and part of the women's wrestling. Her whole ordeal is that she's "brutal but pretty" and has a gf on medical. Uses the name "Hellstar Astra Louge" (her at is @hellstarlouge)

And our marvel buddies;

Matt and Mike used to be part of a tag team called Daredevil but matt got severely hurt + he was loosing his ability to see quicker then he wanted too so.had to leave. But mike stayed and took Daredevil as his name and makes it clear he's fighting for his brother's sake

Tony Stark is the 3rd commentator. Has a rivalry going on with Bruce. Has very clear favorites too. Also used to do wrestling but got too old for it. He didn't want to leave so like. Yeah

Peter Parker is one of the younger wrestlers here. He's a lot stronger than he looks (ppl laughed when he came out into the ring. Then he body slammed jay)

Marc Spector is just. He's brutal and in trouble most of the time. He bites be careful about that. Has been forcefully removed by security MULTIPLE times

idk if pro wrestlers have walkout music like ufc does but jason's should absolutely be living dead girl of rob zombie fame. this au is so so so fun!! laughed at marc's paragraph

hey, friends, I need your help. I loved dracula daily and want to do another serial read, but for me the real fun was the group setting. I care less about what we read next and more about doing it together. I want more memes, more discussion, more fanart, more community. I’ve seen a few posts about whale weekly and letters from sherlock, and people have been discussing frankenstein for a while. so here’s a poll!

if you guys could be so good as to tell me what you’re reading (and maybe reblog to catch as many dd readers as possible), I’d appreciate it! I’ll post results, too.

ive always imagined the targargens looked so unnaturally beautiful, it was almost repulsive at times.

[stardreamer28]

I spot a wolf shirt! frankenwolf reference or fluke? ;) (also it’s freakin adorable how close he is to greg’s family and jake <3)

[nounpolycule]

The thing. About the episode The Doctor's Wife. (And I say this as both an Eleven enjoyer and a The Doctor's Wife enjoyer, as well as someone with a reputation for sexualizing Eleven) Is that some of the lines make it really fucking hard to watch.

Going to rec two illustrated editions of Moby-Dick for your viewing pleasure that go in opposite directions

First, the Arion Press version. Moby-Dick is difficult to illustrate without falling back on melodramatic poses, so this version focuses on places, creatures, objects or tools, and processes connected with nineteenth-century whaling with original  engravings by Massachusetts artist Barry Moser. Want to know what a whaling ship looked like? How a whaleboat was equipped? How a whale was butchered after being killed? Look no further. Available used in pb from the usual sources

Moby-Dick in Pictures, art by Matt Kish. For a year and a half, Kish drew an image inspired by one line of text on each page. Unique and brilliant. Not a reading text, but I pulled out my copy to enjoy again alongside whale weekly. Expensive, but worth it - my birthday present to myself when it came out https://www.matt-kish.com/moby-dick
