bettsfic:

please stop asking for sequels. i’m begging you, fanfic readers. please. you’re already putting in the effort to leave a comment. just. just fucking type what you liked about the fic. you spent a fraction of the time reading as i did writing and now – you want more. and you will not tell me why. please. i am so broken.

apersnicketylemon:

Stop screaming about how ‘queer is a slur’ every time someone says ‘I like being queer’ or ‘I id as queer’ or ‘let people id as queer’.

We fucking know. All our words are slurs. Lesbian started as a slur. Gay started as a slur. Bisexual started as a psychological disorder, same with transgender. All our words have bad starts, the point in us using them was to reforge their sword into our armour.

Let us id as queer in peace. Stop harassing people over their identities.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING

It’s a baby Jacana. They use those ridiculous stick-figur toes to evenly distribute their weight as  they walk around on waterlillies and stuff. Like snowshoes, but for swamps.

Here’s an adult:

Another really interesting thing about Jacanas is that it’s the dad who does all the child rearing while mom goes off to lay more eggs. Amd their really good dads too! Plus look at how they Cary their babies around!:

All aboard the dadbus

Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil

its so wild like “this generation with no fucking money is learning to prioritize essentials” and all these chucklefucks can write is advertisements for these companies

at least our jeans won’t tear at the seams after two washes

FUCK FABRIC SOFTENER IT’S UTTERLY POINTLESS

AND FUCK DRYER SHEETS LITERALLY NOBODY EVER HAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM WITH STATIC TO WARRANT PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR THAT SHIT

DO YOU WANT CLEAN CLOTHES? YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO BUY FUCKING DETERGENT JUST MAKE YOUR OWN* IT’S SO GODDAMN EASY AND 80X CHEAPER

FUCK THE ENTIRE LAUNDRY INDUSTRY

*Fuck The Entire Laundry Industry Recipe

1 cup Washing Soda (not Baking Soda. Different things.)

1 cup Borax (not Boric Acid. Also a different thing.)

½ cup – 1 cup grated bar soap (you can use literally anything. I often use Ivory because it’s easy to get and I find it works well, a lot of people like Fels-Naptha, which is an actual laundry bar. Some people use Dr. Bronner’s. Really does not fucking matter.)

After grating your soap, combine all ingredients. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Use maybe a ¼ cup per load.

^^^ I’ve done this for years now and it works as well as any store bought detergent

WHAT
Thank you, tumblr user awfullydull! Your URL does no justice to the good advice you give!

Also you can MAKE your own washing soda very VERY cheaply.

Step one: acquire $5 bag of baking soda from Costco.

Step two: lay that motherfucking baking soda out on a baking tray.

Step three: bake the baking soda on a tray in an oven at 400° for 1 hour (to make the moisture evaporate, leaving washing soda)

Step four: revel in how easy and cheap it is to make your own washing soda, and maybe take a moment to be angry that the industry upcharges the fuck out of something that is so easy to make.

I see some of y’all complaining about static and/or wanting nice smelling laundry. Go to a craft store, find 100% wool yarn balls. If it doesn’t come in a ball, ask an employee to make it into a tight ball for you. Wash in the washing machine to make it felted. Remove from washer, add a few drops of essential oil to the ball, allow to seep in. Dry with clothing. Doesn’t need to be rewashed ever, and if it stops smelling, add few more drops of essential oil. Bam, reusable dryer sheets.

I love this post so much it’s filled with helpful advice, hatred, saving money, and fucking the system all in one

ok, so here’s the thing. I don’t ship Harry and Hermione at all. I am actually happy with the way they are, like really happy. they are best friends, they hug, they hold hands, they dance, Harry protects her, Hermione looks after him and they are just friends and I think that is beautiful, because these days you can’t even talk to the opposite gender without people thinking you have a thing. I am so happy with the way Hermione and Harry are. they are just friends and I have never wanted them to be anything more.

More dumb magic items for your D&D campaign:

  • A sword that inflicts emotional wounds
  • A hat that, when left alone with another hat, will mate and produce hybrid offspring
  • Negative gold pieces

  • A map that is the territory
  • Armour that becomes more effective the uglier the wearer
  • A living pocket-watch that never needs winding, but if you don’t feed it, it dies; it’s an obligate carnivore
  • Goggles that put censor bars over monsters of the Aberration type
  • An instructional tome in the secret language of ducks
  • A dagger that glows in the presence of one particular goblin
  • Angry shoes

More stock NPCs for your Dungeons & Dragons game:

  • A hulking paladin voiced in your best Patrick Warburton impression who uses the names of obscure polearms as expletives
  • A ranger who aspires to be a fashion designer, and hunts rare beasts to obtain their hides and fur for use in dressmaking
  • What initially appears to be a dwarven runecaster with a badger familiar, but it turns out it’s actually the badger who’s the runecaster, and the dwarf is her personal assistant
  • A compulsively stealthy rogue who insists that all their thievery is in support of a sick relative; it’s not entirely clear whether there’s one sick relative or many involved, as the details change every time they tell it
  • A bard outlawed from their home village after making a pun so terrible that it killed the blacksmith
  • A swashbuckling fighter who enjoys lavish hospitality on account of their fearsome reputation, but is secretly just very skilled at stage combat and can’t actually fight their way out of a wet paper bag
  • A star pact warlock with maxed out Bluff impersonating a cleric of a benevolent sun god
  • A mysterious druid dwelling on the outskirts of town who everyone politely pretends not to notice is actually three dire raccoons standing on each other’s shoulders in a feathered robe

One these are glorious.

Two what would be some suitably obscure polearms to use as curses?

My suggestions:

  • “Bardiche!” (contemptuous disbelief)
  • “Bec de corbin!” (surprise)
  • “Fauchard!” (dismissal)
  • “Guisarme-voulge!” (mild indignation)
  • “Ranseur!” (frustration)
