anything that appears before my eyes

And they say the age of heroes is dead.

moth update ! theyre threatening me

WELL, stop being so BIG and LOOKING AT THEM.

Concepts like sex magic and fertility deities in fantasy are actually really interesting to me as a person with a lot of interest in anthropology and mythology like Yes I am curious about the weird sex that elves have but its pretty much exclusively explored by authors who are Weird Horny Dudes and forget about putting that stuff into a d&d campaign

Oh we’re talking about sex in fantasy settings are we?

Oh, famed fantasy author Ed Greenwood! So good to see you, we're having our panel down here in my wine cellar,

WAIT I HAVEN’T FINISHED TELLING YOU HOW THE DROW MATRIARCHS DISCIPLINE THEIR UNRULY MALE CONSORTS

This is funny and I don't even know who that is

caving as an extreme sport is sooo unfathomable to me why are u as a creature of the daylight doing that. were u born without the dread in ur bones or something

come 9 year olds let us sleep in the hell fissures where time goes to suffocate

I feel like people hate on white in interior design too much. White, just like black, has its place in visual design. Light and dark hues are both necessary to create cohesive and delineated spaces, especially in small quarters

In this space, the white of the walls and the dark of the floor act as foils. The white is expansive, drawing the eye in the line of the window beams and to the walls.

The dark colors of the floor flow into the colors on the wall pictures, and create a similar eyeline. Both the white and the dark colors cradle the center focal point, and draw the viewer outside. If the walls were a different/darker color, the interior and outside scenery might clash or struggle for visual hierarchy

In this room, the walls are a busier pattern. Note the brightness/vividity of the two tones. They are different colors, but in grayscale would look very similar. They create a mush of tone, despite being different colors. If no other item in this picture had a difference in brightness, it would be difficult to discern what you're meant to be looking at.

In this way, the white of the desk helps separate the wall/working space. It breaks up the pattern and draws the eye across the sitting objects. If the desk was a similar color/brightness to the wall, it would be harder to focus on what is in the area

Consider the spider. Do you see him?

Just like visual static allows animals to camouflage themselves, similar color level/hue hides objects from the eye.

Let's look at a room with poor white/black delineation

There is a large difference in color and hue, but not in brightness levels. The lightest objects in the room are the lamp and painted baby. The darkest are the painting background and bed frame. Everything else is very similar in brightness level.

Do you notice the complexity of the pattern or does it overwhelm you? Does your eye travel to a special/interesting area or are you following the shadow where the wall meets the ceiling instead?

In this image, brightness hierarchy is not clear, so you miss so much of what makes this room special. There are gold accents and statuettes that are not seen due to the visual static. They are effectively camouflaged.

Overly white rooms similarly have this issue.

What am I looking at? What items in this room seem interesting? It may appear easy to delineate objects due to how uniform and bright everything is, but that's deceptive. The areas that stand out (the legs of the table, the underside of the couch, the fireplace) are not things the designer would have wanted to showcase. The designer failed to make visual hierarchy decisions and so had those decisions made for them. A good designer knows how to use just enough light and dark to create a mood in a space, and show exactly what they want to show. This room communicates nothing except a lack of decision or personality.

White has it's place in interior design, just like vivid colors and dark colors. It's used to draw attention to things you love best and want to show off. White walls/light colored rooms should not be treated like a bad design choice. They're simply waiting for you to add something to them.

my favorite work memory from this store will always be “hey remember when the subway inside the store closed down and they let me take a bunch of their shit for free and now it lives inside my house?”

my life is a joke

HER BRAIN

Imagine being buried alive and then seeing this little guy with a backpack suddenly arrive

It gets better. The little backpack has a two-way radio.

So you’re trapped under rubble, and then a rat shows up. Flicks a switch on its little tumtum. And starts talking to you.

The Rescuers live action adaptation looks good as hell actually

My friend said this but this is a very important point that yall need to understand.

Shel Silverstein wrote and illustrated poetry for children,

drew cartoons for Playboy,

and made the most terrifying album cover of all time.

Don't put artists in a box.

I’m not sure you could make a box that could contain Shel Silverstein.

best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say

sometimes the subject of your thoughts is just in this thing

I’ve been trying to leave Rome for a few weeks now, but all their roads have this weird design flaw

Hotelius Californium…

such a dulce et decorum place…

Limmy deleted best tweet of all time I'm so mad

*goes to Coachella in a white linen suit like an antebellum lawyer, sweating profusely and dabbing at my forehead with a handkerchief* now, I’m no fancy scientist, but would you folk know where a simple gentleman such as myself could obtain some acid? Now, I’m no big city lawyer, but could any of you fine youths point a country boy such as myself in the direction of some fucking acid?

easily a contender for post of the decade
