so i haven't stopped thinking about this ever since- what the hell was happening when tubbo ran into charlie and flippa?

like sure later on charlie was glitching out a bunch around everyone, but apparently just being around these two made even tubbo super unstable. he was being teleported around out of his control, and the longer he was with them it seemed to get worse, eventually into and through the other side of the wall. and the whole time charlie was totally oblivious, apparently not noticing anything wrong or weird about it at all?

Mocking the deer whose severed head you have on the wall is horrible

I fervently hope that if I die, someone mounts my skull on a plaque, decks it out in pearls and crystals, and makes puns about it. Ideal afterlife, tbh

In case you haven't heard yet, Colossal, the biotech company that earlier this year showed off their "woolly mouse," has announced that they de-extincted "dire wolves." I put this in quotes, because just like with the mice, they didn't truly bring them back (nothing can actually do that, yet) or even really make them.

What they actually did was kind of neat; they copied genes sequenced from dire wolf DNA and inserted them into the grey wolf genome (replacing grey wolf DNA, as they said gray wolves shared a significant percentage of their genome (which isn't saying a TON considering how much the human and chimp genome have in common without being nearly the same animals, but it's better than taking, say, a turtle's genome or something else super unrelated), to create a wolf with genes that dire wolves had.

And while that's not really the same thing as building a dire wolf completely from scratch, so to speak, and it's not really "cloning" them either, it's still pretty cool science, and just like with the woolly mouse, the work (ie, altering/editing multiple genes at once from sequenced DNA of deceased individuals) COULD apply to conservation of actual species (for example, having the ability to widen the genome of remaining breeding individuals of an endangered species, with DNA from deceased individuals). I'm not sure if it IS applying to other species right now (at least not through this company, despite their stated claims to want to), but it is one of their stated goals and it would work.

Also, they're pretty cute

As they were born in October 2024, they now have their own 2,000 acre reserve where Colossal is monitoring them closely. There are two males and one female, but as they've stated they do not have plans to breed them, I'm not sure where the female is being kept in relation to the males, but I suspect she's the solo-wolf pictured, vs the pics of the pair.

Anyway, that's all happening.

absolutely adore that early stage when satoru is just starting to fall for you and it’s all new and fresh that no one else has noticed yet. maybe he’s not aware himself or maybe he’s trying to deny it but he’s already way too captivated and way too desperate to know more and to see more to the point where he’s spending ungodly hours on your socials. he doesn’t just scroll through your instagram photos; he combs through everything — the comments, the likes, who’s tagging you, who you’re following, who follows you back and etc. and when you post a story he’s practically vibrating with the urge to click it the moment it goes up, but he forces himself to wait and play it cool bc otherwise he might look like a freak (since he already did that a few times to begin with). he also notices everything. like back in that selfie you took in the park… it’s beautiful ofc but what gets him is the random passerby in the background who was clearly caught mid stare with his eyes lingering on you. satoru saw it instantly, and yeah… he didn’t like that one bit

3/4 of the original group on SAMS, aka Eclipse and the Celestial Twins (Lunar's missing, but oh well—I hope I'll do him some justice next time :3)

I know this will never happen (halfly because I dont think theyre on great terms and halfly because of the virus which makes either unable to visit if they ever wanted to) and that they may be SO out of character, but let me dream because my son just got stressed out more during EAPS newest ep :'D

THIS ISNT A SHIP BTW.

Cant the people at the EAPS dimension just agree to not piss Eclipse off?? Like please, give him some consideration and patience, especially a little understanding. Please. :(.

(also thats a font, but I wish my penmanship were as clear as that😔.. + Andrew, Andy and Jake making a tower at the beginning of the ep was hilarious—)

i made a post like this the other day but deleted it because 1. it got rambly and ranty and 2. i was admittedy afraid of backlash or being accused of attacking someone. so i'll try to keep this short. i'm not writing this in any sort of animosity, but simply as a reminder of basic cult and internet safety.

please please please question people (particularly people you do not know) behaving as a priest-level educator or teacher on helpol.

this goes double if this is a single person going off the deity's word alone, and this goes triple for if they're inexperienced in the actual religion itself or have little or no tangible history in the community.

it's suspicious at best and cult behaviour + dangerous at worst.

please don't put some random person on the internet on a pedestal. this kind of behaviour should not be normalised.

they are not a prophet.

they are not an authority.

don't let anyone else but you dictate how you worship.

edit: please check the reblogs because i made an additional commentary to this.

as much as I love batgirl 2024, I have to admit the lack of Barbara Gordon mentions in the whole series so far, especially with the first arc having such a big theme of motherhood/daughterhood and the things that comes with it, makes me soo sad. Barbara was the first person Cass actually considered as a mother! Barbara, although she wasn’t the best at it at first, truly did try to understand and love Cass unconditionally even when she was separated from the Bat mantle! And that panel where Cass overhears Barbara tell Dick that she doesn’t know how to really care for Cass could’ve been the perfect parallel to the whole “is a Mother just being connected by blood? No, Something more is owed/Being a daughter is more than being connected by blood” lines that Cass says in the last (current) issue because Barbara, though she did not physically bring Cass into this world, has sacrificed SO much for her, and in return Cass gave so much back.

Every other harbinger: My coworkers are fucking insane and I hate them. I'd probably have killed them by now if we weren't on the same side. Why in the fuck am I forced to put up with these selfish, pathetic, obnoxious imbeciles?!!!

Capitano: *Exists*

Every other harbinger: omg Capitano

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

Them focusing on Mike(usually by zooming in on him or having him center of the screen) whenever it's about Will will actually be my 13th reason. bc wtf was all that for, why would they do that and then tell us will loves mike and expect us to not want or think mike could love him back-

[callmeselfish]

How have I not seen anybody else point this out?? Am I grasping at straws... these scenes were shown one after the other (if we count pre intro helena scene as one)

Eddie pretty much inviting himself to stay with Buck at the loft until Chris comes back from the mystery trip he was shipped off for plot convenience to escape his girlfriend he just asked to move in with and doesn't want to see anymore because she might want to have sex with him and he doesn't want to is actually canon.

PSA/Reminder

its NOT okay to vent about wanting to end yourself in a server that has mostly minors when you yourself are an adult.

NO MATTER if you say it isn't that serious and it's just a casual "drop in" vent and go
