Here it is! Corvo’s folding blade from Dishonored. Needs some cleaning up and a paint job, but I think it’s pretty damn cool (I was threatening all of the Kreo guys with it). The first gif is the motion to open it, the second gif to close it. I’m just gonna carry it around with me wherever I go…
The entire island chain of the Shattered Teeth being infused with primordial chaotic energy from Avalir detonating and diffusing Ka'mort and Rau'shan being so fucking whack that the islands supposedly can move around is the coolest shit i have ever heard
i never thought global warming wasn't real but it really hits when it's winter and i'm out here in summer clothes 🤡🤡🤡
NO SHIT... THATS WHAT IT IS THEN
File attribution theory
In Undertale, there are 10 numbered SAVE files, going from “file 0″ up to “file 9″.
The UNDERTALE folder on the player’s computer may contain file 0, file 9 and file 8 depending on certain conditions.
These files mutually take each other into consideration. The fact that “file 6″ exists means that there was a “file 5″ already, otherwise file 6 would have just been called file 5. File 5 implies the existence of file 4 and so on.
This means that either all of those files are canon, or none of them are.
The game makes it pretty clear that we are in the first scenario given that the Flowey X fight directly refers to those files being an in-world thing.
Another case in which we can clearly see the impact of the different files within the game has to do with Frisk.
Lets say that a neutral route is played, then, the player SAVES just before fighting Asgore. Afterwards, instead of fighting the king, the player decides to RESET. The player then decides to go through the ruins without SAVING even once, but is eventually killed by a monster.
Where does Frisk come back to after dying in this situation ?
One would expect Frisk to either go back to the flower bed at the very beginning or to LOAD back to near Asgore where the player last SAVED.
But neither of those is what happens. Frisk actually comes back to this location :
And that’s not all. Lets say that now, the player closes the game and opens it up again. Where does Frisk LOAD to then ?
This time, they do LOAD back to near Asgore.
Frisk has just LOADED to two completely different points in space and time without having SAVED in between the two. This should be impossible with Frisk having control over only a singular SAVE file.
What happened here was that two different SAVE files were actually used :
“file 0″ and “file 9″.

Just got Volume 1 of Lore Olympus and it’s so lovely so I did a quick color
I am sorry,
What is OneID?
oh jesus christ
OneID was a Yahoo scheme. I'm not sure how much I can reveal here, but given that Marissa Meyer is long gone and this water is very much under the bridge, it doesn't really matter. What happened was probably one of Yahoo's worst and most nefarious efforts to bring Tumblr into the Yahoo ecosystem:
the more I read about the internal history of this dumb website the more inclined I am to give em a little walking around money for ad-free
reading very briefly on Chinese history and it’s always like oh China had a civil war in this year. Really wasn’t that serious to be honest! Anyways casualties: 50 million
It's extremely funny to compare major events in European history to contemporaneous events in China. The European ones are always like "this was one of the deadliest world events of the middle ages, with almost 100,000 deaths, it wiped out nearly a third of the European population." Then you find out in the same year China had a single battle with 250,000 casualties or something.
I like how it says 13-36 as if there isn't a huge difference between those numbers
Caitlyn by Miguel Mercado
I am obsessed with this.
So because parkour is such a ridiculously male dominated sport, the "correct technique" for a lot of these movements that you're taught when you become an instructor plays to a male body's strengths: upper body strength, higher center of gravity, etc.
She demolishes this course by moving in ways that make sense for her body. She doesn't muscle her way up to her over a wall, she just throws a leg up over the wall. She doesn't use upper body strength to do the salmon ladder, she uses her hips!!! And it's fucking incredible.
So many girls and young women walk away from parkour because every movement caters to the strengths of men, because doing what makes sense for their bodies is seen as "bad technique" to be trained away.
If pre-transition me had seen this I would have cried tears of joy.
most who met them thought they shared a mother. but in truth, they only went to the same school, far away from either of their homes and rich enough to turn them from rebels into citizens when they came of age.
one preferred green. one preferred gray. they each had a talent for the arts of life and death. together they learned, until the day they were offered a choice: to specialize, become greater. become someone worth being.
the one clad in green chose the path of life. she began by learning to treat cuts and scrapes, then gashes and broken bones, then organ damage and fatal wounds.
the one clad in gray chose the path of death. she began by learning the shape of bones, the stages of decay, the strength of failing flesh.
healer and resurrectionist. the healer’s skill was great, and her power greater, and this endeared her to the people she served. she grew to whisper wounds shut in a single word, to cure a child’s illness with a brush of her hand.
the resurrectionist was not as beloved, for she lacked a crucial power that people around her sought: to bring the dead back. that a spirit once departed could never return was common knowledge, but often logic left those in mourning. time and time again she had to say: i cannot bring them back. i cannot ease your pain.

‘they love you,’ said the resurrectionist. beyond the temple walls a crowd stood vigil - not in rememberence but in thanks. the healer had saved the life of the high priest earlier, when his heart had stopped in the middle of the solstice ceremony. ‘you’re a hero,’ she said.
‘it was nothing,’ the healer replied. ‘it was easy.’
‘it won’t always be,’ said the resurrectionist. ‘someday you’ll meet someone you can’t save.’
the healer raised her chin. her eyes were hard in the darkness. ‘we will see about that.’

"Forty nights in quarantine" by Apollonia Saintclair
amazing double dance by hao ruoqi ( in blue)and wang xuerou(in red)
OH MY GOD OH MY GOOOOD A FEW THINGS ABOUT THIS:
- the facial expressions
- the effortless sensuality
- I AM SO GAY
- the inexplicable moment in which the dynamic between the two shifted like they changed bodies
- did china allow this to be shown? china?
- DID I MENTION THE GAY
- what is the lore of this? I figured that it was a malevolent spirit shifting from one body to another
- the part with the leg. you know which one I mean
- seriously are they actresses cause this level of portrayal is more astounding than any Hollywood actress has ever amounted to
- the end with the smile and the head grab and the beating heart
- O H M Y G O D
For those wondering, the dance is based on a soul-switching scene from the movie Painted Skin II: The Resurrection and the music is Su Yunying’s Moment.
hideo kojima unleashed. im not even surprised
Assuming the Calamity happened 1000-ish years ago, doing some quick math, only 41 years (roughly) would have passed within the Happy Fun Ball
Conceivably, someone in their 20s could have stayed in that ball since the Calamity and still be alive and well in their 60s today
The dragon may have been born pre-Calamity
That is… crazy
