Allis as a grumpy sailor moon. He doesn't like it very much... but he looks pretty good in it

This is pretty cool. #Repost @cnn with @get_repost ・・・ About 90 #million years ago, #Antarctica supported a swampy #rainforest according to a new study published in the #scientific journal #Nature.

This is the absolute wrong way to open a loaf of bread

Living with roomates is always an adventure. You can find a new best friend. You can find the worst person you ever met. And sometimes, you can find a person who is a perfectly nice bloke who opens a package of bread like a savage beast starving for fuel.

Observe Alasdair Mckay’s roomie’s bread opening habit:

One of my flatmates opens their bread like this. I don’t feel safe anymore. http://pic.twitter.com/z0BFhCZNeN

When Mckay posted this photo on twitter, he couldn’t have imagined it would take on a life of its own with over 40,000 likes and 13,500 retweets at the time of this writing.

But people are serious about both bread and roommate behavior.

Some defend the roommate:

@Almckayy @ChrisMcQueer what’s the big deal, yo? http://pic.twitter.com/o5HvElP4lB

But most clearly think this is a sign of worse and scary things to come:

@Almckayy this surely must be the devil’s way of communicating with the world http://pic.twitter.com/SF9GkswfH2

@Almckayy find yourself a new flatmate. This can’t carry on. He must be stopped!

Ad (@adlynch) March 7, 2017

Though the tweets are in jest (we think), the fact that bread could likely go stale has apparently convinced the roomie to, “never open his bread like this again.”

Be that as it may, let’s not forget a final egregious sin:

@Almckayy OMG It’s not even sourdough

Was this a kinda crazy idea? Maybe... but @roessslyng and me did a collab on redrawing an 80s romance novel cover but with Alasdair and Lukas

[agnessieart]

I wanted to have Lukas and Allis in a captive prince au... they just work so well in this dynamic

[agnessieart]

It was too perfect not to draw

[agnessieart]

DTIYS for @lumassen and an excuse to draw a little norscot... Allis lent Luke his unicorn shirt cause he's his lil bi unicorn. Also 'shut up' 'make me' is a very common piece of conversation between the two, usually resulting in Luke giving Allis a punch instead of the kiss he hoped for (not that he really minds). I do hope I got the sign for 'shut up' right but there were so many different ones...

[agnessieart]

Lukas is super sleepy and super comfy... and Allis is very snuggly

@aphrarepairweek2020, stars

[agnessieart]

"Mon dieu, cher! Sit still!!"

"Fuckin make me~"

Some auld alliance for @aphrarepairweek2020, day 5

Fran loves messing with Allis hair ... And Allis loves annoying Fran. They're both flirty bastards, but Allis sometimes dunnae ken when to stop... Allis also needs someone to cook for him ... or he'll be eating deepfried marsbars and haggis. Fran ain't about to let that happen

[agnessieart]

The only kiss he'll ever get from Nat...

[agnessieart]

Happy st. Andrew's day!

Day 10; Broke back mountain + pattern

A Scot in his natural habitat. Was probably the hardest so far, not in ideas, but for execution... wasn't sure what to do with Alasdair, and I really cannot do mountains ...
