there are so many "if this gets (insert number) notes i'll do something productive/good for me!" but has there ever been one where someone goes

if this gets 10k notes i'll slap myself in the face

i suppose i'm wondering

would people be so eager to reblog if it would cause something slightly unpleasant?

Seriously though how does the Sainz camp have so much influence

does anyone else set up their guest room with different areas for different activities? for example, this is my guest room currently:

here, we have the reading nook,

the film and media area,

the music practice corner,

the dining / board game table,

and the sitting / conversation (or as Azul suggests, "negotiation") area.

I am sure that organizing it slightly differently would probably provide me with a higher comfort level, or more dorm points (I'm still working on collecting those Large Lavender Crystals for the statue and Floyd tsum!), I just need to make it a 'functional' room.

anyways, how do you organize your guest rooms?

Those who follow the Pern stuff on this blog will know I've thrown math at the dragons and whers and what we're told about them to work out height:length ratios and estimated average sizes. For the dragons this was one thing, and I eventually settled on a 1:2.4 ratio with average shoulder heights ranging from 9.3 ft greens to 16.6 ft golds. The whers also had their easy spot, as we get solid numbers for them and can presume from them that their height:length ratio is about 1:3.25.

The problem there comes with the whers' actual size range, as our best information outside of the ratio is Todd's stating that gold whers are of similar size to brown dragons. This has to be across one measurement, since the ratios don't line up. So we either have golds being as tall as browns- giving us an average height range from 7.4 ft greens to 13.5 ft golds and length range of 24.1 ft greens to 43.8 ft golds- or as long as them- giving us a height range from 5.5 ft greens to 10 ft golds and length range of 17.9 ft greens to 32.5 ft golds.

The latter is accurate to my estimates for 3rd Pass whers, but we can't know whether that estimate itself is accurate. We can be reasonably certain they grew much like the dragons overtime, as presumably they also started with browns and rankers and the first wher clutches are described by the DLG (the source I've got, if this is contradicted elsewhere show me) as being small horse-sized, definitely far smaller than either option gives us.

With all this in mind-

okay the announcer said The Whale used digital makeup to transform Brendan Fraser. that’s cool but I have gotten annoyed for years that Avatar won for Best Cinematography when it was computer animated. can someone please tell me how this is different? isn’t this a little insulting for the h&mu artists who do it by hand or??

Okay, I wanna know this: how many pages do you have in your AO3 history?

[inthecarpets]

i have a question that might sound silly, but it's genuine.

Why do some of nowadays communists use USSR flag as their icons etc?

[dynamic-k]

john homestuck egbert reminds you of alan, huh?

… yeah I can see some similarities

I am unfamiliar with who this is, sorry.

If you are implying that my fanfiction portrayals of Alan's character align with this person's character, feel free to elaborate, I'm curious.

:)

Hm... if I were to start taking commissions, would any of you be interested (based on what original works I DO post, like that art trade or what-not)? I’m thinking of maybe testing the waters... see if there’s any demand... I just know that if I do a test-run of commissions, it’ll be discounted JUST for the first run.

As we approach the next arc in the story, an outfit change is now on the horizon! The question is, what are our lads going to wear?

(Please also vote in the Lan Wangji poll!)

[zhukzubast]

...so about those preview costumes

[midnite-enjoyer]

okay, I'm curious

RB for sample size!

You know this scene in modern warfare II where Alejandro says "ehh I can't call Soap Johnny 😔" and Soap answers "Don't. Only Ghost can pull that off"

This scene in polish dubbing is so funny to me because somehow they kind of changed the meaning of this conversation (honestly most scenes in polish dubbing make me laugh)

In polish dubbing the literal translation would be

Ghost: "Johnny [...]"

Alejandro: "eh I WON'T call Soap "Johnny" 😡😤"

Soap: "Good 🙄. Only Ghost can say that"

In english dub Alejandro sounds like he's actually kinda disappointed that he can't call Soap "Johnny" like he knows it's reserved for Ghost (for some reason). But here he's just mad, and nobody even forces him to use this nickname so it doesn't make any sense. It's so silly I love them

and then Soap in eng dub says "Only Ghost can PULL THAT OFF" which suggests that nickname "Johnny" only sounds good? when Ghost says that and nobody else. Like this nickname only works if Ghost uses it.

But in polish dub he just says "Ghost is the only one allowed to say that 😇". Love him for that

I have love/hate relationship with this dubbing. I can't stand Soap's voice actor and at the same time I can't get enough of his voice. This is driving me crazy
