"I can't believe people are calling this post ancient, it's making me feel old" buddy, people on this site call posts from six months ago ancient.

Hey, so... I know that the "animals with eyes on the side of their head are prey- and dragons on eyes on the of their heads" post is like...funny. very Tumblr. A+ content.
But I'm starting to see people just like...repeat that as though it's like....a fact?
But...we do know that 1. Front facing vs side facing eyes are just about whether field of vision or depth perception was selected for and 2. .... dragons are based on predatory *reptiles* right?
Yall know crocodiles aren't a "prey" species, right?
Isn't there a version of the dragon post that outright explains this? I'm pretty sure it even used crocodiles as an example.

went to miami to recover father sotirios. and made some new friends.
these animals... they are wise. I recruited them to avenge my dear brother. I was then escorted out of the sea world.
Better than the 1596 Marseille dolphin exorcism I suppose.
In 1596 dolphins were infesting the port of Marseille. Back in those days, y’see, dolphins didn’t have the cuddly image they enjoy today. They were pests and were causing damage.
So the cardinal of Avignon sent the bishop of Cavaillon to do something about them. In front of a huge crowd, the bishop sprinkled some holy water into the waters of the port and told the dolphins to begone. Whereupon the dolphins indeed turned tail in terror and fled, and were never seen again.
Still not as dramatic as Saint Bernard excommunicating the flies though.
What happened to the flies?
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux built a monastery in 1124, but it was plagued by flies. So the good saint promptly excommunicated them. By the next day the flied had died in such quantities that they had to be shoveled out.
Still not as nutty as the Basel rooster trial though.
*everyone in unison* um what rooster trial?
In 1474, a rooster in Basel did the heinous and unspeakable act of laying an egg. As everyone knows, an egg laid by a rooster will hatch into a basilisk (or cockatrice).
So to avoid the creation of a cockatrice (or basilisk), the rooster was tried, found guilty, and burned at the stake along with its egg. A huge crowd was present.
The “rooster” in this case was likely a hen that had developed male characteristics (it happens).
Still not as properly legal as the Savigny pig trial though.
Ok, clearly you want an excuse to talk about the pig thing, and I now DESPERATELY want to hear about the pig thing, so PLEASE tell us about the Pig Thing.
In 1457 a sow killed Jehan Martin, a five-year-old boy in Savigny. For that crime she was put on trial and judged guilty, and sentenced to be hanged from a tree.
Her piglets, however, were judged to have been innocent of the murder, and so were returned to the owner, with the caveat that he had to surrender them to the law if they were later found to have eaten any of the boy.
Not to be confused with a whole bunch of other, similar porcine trials.
I won’t mention the 1454 excommunication of eels in Lake Geneva then.
okay Scheherazade, would you tell us about the eel thing?

u know i feel like something that would help w a lot of shipping discourse would be remembering that not everyone in fandom spaces is here to do textual analysis & people sometimes (often) ship characters solely because it's sexy
like ur absolutely welcome to be critical of smutty fanworks (you can be critical of whatever you want go nuts) but occasionally i'll see people like 'why would you ship these two characters romantically don't you see that their relationship being platonic is important to the underlying themes of the work' and be like oh yeah for sure, you're absolutely right about the Themes and stuff, however, i also think it would be hot if they fucked. i contain multitudes.
ALSO!
the themes of the original work are not necessarily the theme of the fan work! So even if you ARE doing a textual analysis, you might not be analyzing the original text.

Sooo where was the close-up of this kiss? Hello?
I think my favourite angst ending for Ryan is definitely the one where Dylan is still a werewolf at the end of the night because they didn't know about Silas.
Just think about it: the Hacketts are all dead. No more werewolves, no more hunters. Everyone should be safe. Assuming they survived the night.
Ryan gets back to the lodge with Laura and Max, all the other councilors have managed to gather there from their various happenings.
Except Dylan.
Last Kaitlyn saw him he was transforming in the scrapyard, maybe he's just further away than anyone. They wait out the night, hoping he'll show up but also planning how they'll search for him if he doesn't.
Dawn comes, they're gearing up to search, and a mostly naked Dylan comes stumbling out of the trees. Instant relief, he's alright. He made his way back.
Except... Dylan woke up on the roof of the radio hut. He wasn't making his way back for hours, he only just transformed back.
And it sinks in that whoever bit Dylan, it wasn't one of the Hacketts. He's still a werewolf.
And its awful for everyone. They though it was over, that this night was done and they could just get through the aftermath and more on with their lives.
But its even worse for Ryan. Because he's just thinking of that moment in the radio hut when Dylan begged him to amputate the bite, and he refused.
And now Dylan is going to be a werewolf for as long as it takes them to hunt down Silas, all because Ryan didn't trust Dylan's judgment.
(Dylan points out it wasn't a rational demand and Ryan had no reason to think it was necessary. But it doesn't help Ryan's guilt)
Ryan: What did you do with Kaylee and Caleb's bodies? Laura: What didn’t I do with their bodies? Ryan: Laura: Okay, that sounded more sexual than I intended. I disposed of the corpses respectfully.

trying to plan out a Quarry fanfiction covering the camp months, and I am quickly realizing I have no idea how summer camps work and the information we get in the game is not helping
(rumbling under cut)
Immediately realizing the calendar is even WORSE than I thought. Tuesday is meant to be alternating bike rides and picnics. But only the first day has a bike ride listed, and the only picnic is on a Saturday. what the hell is going on here???
