So we definitely need more positive representation of DID, but you know what would be funny? Mildly inconvenient representation of DID.

Oh the world is ending and you need to know about this one specific thing? Yeah I have a guy for that but he doesn't feel like fronting right now

Sorry what's happening rn is this the bad guy? Yeah I just switched in idk what's going on

I know you're dating one alter but we're currently co-con with another alter who hates you so idk how I'm feeling rn

And just who do i think I am? It's funny you should ask that I actually don't know right now

Wait I just remembered this. here u go :3

honourable mention

I just had to browse tags on this one

Anti mint guy is really getting me lol

it's hard being a polyamorous action hero because whenever i have flashbacks to all my dead wives it takes like 20 minutes to get through all of it

it kind of sounds like youre just feeding local women to the deadwife montage

A character idea that's been stuck in my head for a while. A computer/web assistant program desperately trying to justify its own existence as someone goes through their old computer from the 2000s. It's personified as a cat, because of course it is

a friend wanted to move it from the recycling bin to a folder with furniture and food pngs

Phalera bucephala, otherwise known as the buff-tip moth, is a remarkable mimic that can easily disguise itself as a twig. This moth has a unique resting position that makes its body seem narrower and more cylindrical, and its wings are covered in silver patterns that resemble tree bark, while the buff-colored patches on its head and forewings mimic the appearance of freshly-snapped wood.

Above: three actual twigs and one buff-tip moth

This type of camouflage is also known as a "protective resemblance" -- a form of mimesis in which an animal can avoid being preyed upon by mimicking an unremarkable or inedible aspect of its environment. Many other moths are able to disguise themselves in similar ways, often mimicking dead leaves, twigs, moss, and/or tree bark.

Above: more photos of Phalera bucephala

The buff-tip moth is particularly adept at disguising itself, however, and the fact that it so strongly resembles such a specific object (not just a dead leaf or a piece of foliage, but a broken twig from a silver birch tree, in particular) makes this disguise seem even more impressive and unique.

Above: the photo at the top shows a buff-tip moth in its resting position, while the photo at the bottom shows the same species with its wings unfurled

It also tends to look like there's a weird little smiley face in the setae surrounding the moth's head, which is arguably even more striking, but for some reason none of my sources seem to mention that weirdness.

This species is distributed throughout the British Isles, mainland Europe, and parts of Asia, with its range extending into Eastern Siberia.

Tim Cain's Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins -- They're the shadow king's favorite!

preheat oven to 350. grease muffin tins (one dozen regular size) or use baking cups. mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Break eggs into another bowl. add pumpkin and butter and whisk until blended. stir in chocolate chips. pour over dry ingredients and stir until just blended. do NOT overstir! scoop batter into tins and bake 20-25 minutes. after cooling, keep muffins wrapped in plastic to avoid drying.

I'm sure people have pointed it out already, but

Tim Cain is one of the creators of Fallout

and he is an overall delight

English does have formal and informal language but it’s just not stored in the pronouns.

If you’re wondering whether or not to use formal or informal pronouns in a language you’re learning, ask yourself. Would I greet this person with “hey wazzup” as a greeting?

(Generally but not universally) If yes, informal. If not, formal.

If calling them “buddy” or “my dude” or “mate” or “sis” or something similar would be an insult because you don’t know them like that and/or you aren’t the same age, using informal pronouns would probably be a similar insult. Depending on local cultural context obviously.

And I mean you might want to insult them so also good information for that.

I'd just like to call attention to the best photo ever posted on inaturalist

“Dark World food has no nutritional value, she can't eat breakfast there” I have great news about the breakfast situation implied by someone eating classroom supplies the moment they get to school

screenshotting prev tags because it's important. toby's been around the block! he knows how many artists and writers and musicians were inspired by the works of fiction he's created! he's seen the messages everyone sent in for the 10th anniversary of undertale! it would be a ridiculous heel turn for him to be like "actually that's stupid and you need to stop investing yourself in this"

Like you do need to recognise sometimes that a person is not picking up your social cues and adjust your communication style accordingly. If someone isn't understanding you then you need to change up how you're communicating and not just say the same thing over & over.

Gen AI is nothing special I can also draw / write badly, help you with math inconsistently, answer you dubiously, and consume amounts of water you would think are physically impossible

People throw the MEANEST fucking fits when they're faced with the fact that pregnant men are treated far worse than pregnant women.

i think this post is improved by the knowledge that i got renamed "punished ant" after getting banned for posting a gift of optimus prime twerking, completely forgot that was my nickname, and didnt understand why i was getting yelled at for typing
