Being seen in pop culture as the damaged version of yourself rather than how you looked like in your original environment
pro lifer blocked me on twitter for asking this but if embryos have souls, and then they're aborted, exactly how sapient are they in the afterlife? Are they forever doomed to float around with no thoughts in their heads? Is it like just animal intelligence like a little happy goldfish? Do they still have an embryonic form? I've always seen an assumption that child souls are still in child form so I guess so. Do the other people in the afterlife keep abortions as little pets? Will they stay in a fishbowl or are they too stupid + intangible and float right out again?
tired: mermaids are all women
wired: much like elves, merfolk are mistaken by sailors for being all women because they have long hair and are very pretty
as promised, the transplanting tutorial
most sources make transplanting sound incredibly difficult, but transplanting young seedlings from areas with sparse dirt, like a driveway or roadside, is actually incredibly easy and can get you some great stuff. Once I worked out the method, i've had a very high survival rate
it took me like a month of trial and error to figure this out so you don't have to.

Religious art leaves out the best part and it’s such a goddamn shame. Livestock, Agriculture and Food is an integral part of any culture and we all need to be pushing for more realistic sheep in religious art. #FATTAILSFORJESUS
One of these things is not like the other…
The bindings of the books pictured in plastic bags contain arsenic, while the un-bagged books do not.
Copper arsenic compounds were used as a green pigment in textiles and home furnishings during the 19th century. In 2019, Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation embarked on a study of green cloth-covered book bindings from the 19th century and continues to lead the way on research regarding these compounds in library materials. Their current findings suggest that the publication date range for volumes containing arsenic is 1830 to 1880 and that such books are bound in green cloth or green leather. Most green book covers from this period do not contain arsenic. (While books containing arsenic are green, not all green books contain arsenic.) Our best current estimate based on the testing we have done is that less than .03% of the print titles in our collection contain arsenic. As we identify print titles that contain arsenic, we will take measures to provide other options to make the content available wherever possible.

Ruggie's VA Ichikawa Aoi comment from the fanbook:
“Ruggie is slender, with a cute face for a member of Savanaclaw, and I was impressed by his unrelenting strength and cunning.
I had such a great time portraying the character from the very beginning, in the audition with how his hyena-like qualities exude from every line.
I believe that Ruggie is good at hiding what he holds in his heart, so I am always conscious of not being too transparent about his inner world when I portray him.”

I was in thoughts the other day and asked myself, what would've happened if Varian was incased in Amber?
Like I'm 70% sure that Quirin hadn't fallen into villiany like Varian did. He would've also gone to the castle and stuff and like... Idk where I wamted to go with this, just think about it
Interesting WAT theory from Reddit: Colot was replaced by the kandra on Roshar and him stepping down from the Windrunners is when it happened. I could get behind it.
"OP" functions like a new pronoun between the third and second person. Think about it, when you write a comment and you mention OP you are giving people in the comments your opinion about someone else, that is third person, but you are also aware OP themselves could see it, so you are also talking to OP directly. This is why there are comments that use OP with third person and second person constructions, for example "OP this is hilarious" or "OP knows how to draw" As technology changes how we interact, it only makes sense language would adapt to it I think the next development should be a way to address people differently if they occupy the same physical space that you do than if they are far away
“Oh Stanley. You weren't meant to see it yet.”
