I always forget that he has a dental PhD. Which he’s actually admitted provided a lot of fuel for his mouth based body horror.
imagine he’s your dentist and he looks in your mouth and goes “oh that’s a good idea for a new horror story”
I bet octopuses think bones are horrific. I bet all their cosmic horror stories involve rigid-limbs and hinged joints.
To an octopus, a human is like a thinking being with blood-stained coral growing inside it.
I need to sit down and breathe into a bag for a while.
Its parts were obscenely limited in their movement. Each hinge could open or close only a small amount before reaching its limit, yet by working in concert they demonstrated unexpected dexterity, moving and manipulating the objects before it with cunning equal to my own. It was more torso than limb, as though a seal had been stretched and warped, given long grasping tentacles filled with bones like bars of coral. It’s head was most horrid of all, flat and ovoid, jutting out too small from the trunk as though it belonged to a beast half its size.
The thing rose upon its lowermost appendages, two long trunks that ended in flat, protruding flippers that branched into stubby, grasping mockeries of a sucker. It’s triple-hinged uppermost limbs were similar, but the ends branched into five smaller tentacles, each with three hinges of their own.
I froze, as the thing’s gaze fell upon me and it opened its hideous fish-jaw, filled with thick, many-shaped teeth like white shards of stone, and spoke in a shrill, discordant babble. I felt its horrid dry grip on my flesh, as those hinged appendages closed on me like the legs of a crab.
I felt the heat of its body, tasted its noxious, oily flesh through my touch, and prepared for the end, and all went black as a swoon overtook me.
I awoke, some time later, the cold and comforting water, banished back to the comfort of the sea and the dark. I should be grateful I am alive. I should cast aside the experience like a half-remembered dream.
I shall never again go swimming in search of lights above. The last thing I recall before the darkness took me was my right eye popping free of the thing’s grasp enough to see into the distance for one brief moment.
I saw thousands of lights.
ok so it turns out “horror but it’s about something mundane from the perspective of a non-human animal” fucks severely
like idk i think its laughable to put miss "music is the nigger of the world" in the same space as these vocalists????
Thought I would share this here. Image is a clickable link that will take you to the account that posted it! ID in alt text. If anyone wants to pop it out, feel free.

Hercules is the most visually creative of the Disney Reneissance films. If not any Disney film ever.
The three Fates sharing an eye.
Hades’ flaming hair.
The various designs of the mythological monsters and titans.
The diverse faces and body types of all the minor characters.
It’s a very visually engaging movie.
How could I forget the Underworld
And the opening sequence
Y’all need to get off Walter Disney’s cock
Jeez, I just said the movie looks nice. No need to get antsy.
Also like, pretty sure WD didn’t make that movie. It was the effort of various animators who sometimes get overlooked because we don’t see them WORKING on it for so many days, just the two hour long result.
Pretty sure that Walt Disney didn’t work on Hercules since it came out decades after he died.
Fun fact! The reason Hercules has such a unique style is because Musker and Clements brought illustrater Gerald Scarfe (famous for his work on Pink Floyd’s The Wall) to be the conceptual character artist. His original character designs are wild
Hey kids, did you know that you can be critical of a company and acknowledge how shitty it is in its business practices, and appreciate that it produces a lot of good art, much of which is created by artists and animators who have nothing whatsoever to do with the aforementioned shitty business practices?
Fucking wild that you can do that.
I’m glad this thread went exactly where I wanted it to
for some people going on HRT is like suddenly balancing their 4 humours
it's so eternally funny to me that HRT exists and works the way it does like. this is some medieval alchemy stuff. oh you found the distilled essence of Man and Woman and you put it in a little glass vial and it will solve the unbalanced humours of some mysteriously melancholic patients? and you need to go get leeches every now and then to make sure the humours are still in harmony? uh-uh. sure
It definitely makes me feel like a wizard
do you all see my vision here
i think about this tweet a lot
Fun fact: Mandalorians touch foreheads when they want to show affection but cant take off their helmets. It’s called a Keldabe kiss. (This is also an ironic term for straight up head butting someone.)
that makes this so much worse:
FYI Jengo Fett’s (Boba’s dad) head is still in that helmet
I know it’s essentially “affectionate head butting” but I’ve always found the concept of the Keldabe Kiss fascinating bc the actors who played Jango and young Boba Fett are Māori and in māori culture they have the hongi which is a traditional greeting of touching noses/foreheads
Like I know it’s probably not that deep but I’ve always wondering if maybe that partly inspired the above moment with Boba
this is why i always powder the fuck out of my forehead before going to a community meeting lol. you end up leaving foundation on 40 elders’ foreheads if u arent prepared lmao
just wanted to add that one of the writers for much of the mandalorian content to come out when Legends was still the Expanded Universe specifically understood the significance of the Fett actors being Māori and the importance of the hongi, and the “Keldabe Kiss” was a way of canonizing that in-universe.
so yes, it is that deep, and it was intentional.
Shai Davidai (the associate professor who got banned from Columbia for harassing students) forgot to switch to his alt account to post his fake "antisemitism" he could later pretend to be upset by.
"Every accusation is a confession" has got to be studied when it comes to Zionists. This is so embarrassing but so funny. Constantly trying to play the victims lol
He kinda cooked with that one

I understand that museums have to be dark because light can destroy fragile artifacts. That said, I’m always afraid to walk around the blind corners because what if there is a skeleton
Okay yes sometimes there’s a skeleton, I understand how museums work. But I mean what if it gets me
Fact: you can absolutely kick a skeleton's ass. You are a skeleton wearing biological power armor. Skeletons of adult humans typically weigh less than 30 pounds. You are in a superior weight class by orders of magnitude.
i wish someone had told me that when i was a kid and terrified of having to fight a skeleton
I don't want my cellphone to have AI I want it to have 3 days of battery time. I don't want my computer to have AI preinstalled I want it to have seven usb ports and high ram at affordable price. I don't want my games to have AI built levels I want them to be so optimized I could run them on a nokia.
