Tiaras To Stab Someone With
aka the pointiest fringe tiaras I could find
Countess of Feversham’s Fringe Tiara
Tumblr media
Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom’s Sunray Tiara
Tumblr media
Baroness Juel-Brockdorff’s Fringe Tiara
Tumblr media
Queen Rahimah of Selangor’s Diamond Fringe Tiara (the top row of diamonds would have to be removed from this one)
Tumblr media
Queen Victoria of Sweden’s Baden Fringe Tiara
Tumblr media
I feel the need to add a disclaimer that I’m not planning on stabbing anyone.  I saw one of these and thought ‘oh that would be a good tiara for someone to stab someone else with’ because writers and others in need of character inspiration have been reblogging my tiara motifs series lately based on the tags.  My thought process was more along the lines of what if the character was a spy or being chased by a murderer and they were at a formal event where they needed to attack someone or defend themselves but their gown made hiding a weapon difficult so they are using a tiara.  Is this not the kind of thing other people think about?

friendly reminder that “kudos” means “glory” in ancient greek, so if you give someone kudos you are wishing them renown on the battlefield

knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.
knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.

Bunjy, how close to a human liver do you need to have to eat chocolate? Can great apes eat chocolate? Can any other primate?
no, other great apes can't have chocolate, and other primates can't either! you need an actual hominin-line liver to pull this trick off, so humans and human ancestors only as far as primates go.
other primates can and do eat the flesh of the cacao fruit, which chocolate is made from, but chocolate is made from the seeds, aaaand those are where the cacao plant is hiding all of its secret and most potent poisons.

(theobromine. it's theobromine)
were a chimpanzee or smaller monkey to pig out on chocolate or cacao seeds, they could expect to experience hyperactivity, tremors, increased heartrate, seizures, and heart failure. in roughly that order.
Tumblr media
"oh god! I should have stopped thirty seeds ago!! why did I do that!!!"
so you know what? sometimes it's good to be a human, actually.
Tumblr media
"oh, boy! poison!! my favorite!!!"
humans stand head and shoulders above every other primate on earth when it comes to the enormous variety of foods they are able to eat without getting sick or dying about it!
but also just literally. humans are very tall.
Tumblr media
okay that's all, good night love you

Cryptozoology is my favourite kind of fake science stuff. Wish there was also cryptobotany, like mothman but its just a really big fern in the middle of a field with literally nothing else around it , that spawned in the dead of night, might have killed a few people and never shows up in photos, and no one is sure its even real
