going missing on purpose

had a dream that I was arguing with someone who insisted that kissing could be platonic but ONLY within a very specific mathematical range of angles and percentages of lip contact. like a level of granularity you'd need a protractor to figure out. this wasn't about personal comfort, it was a universal law. and I was getting really mad and eventually yelled "TONGUE can be platonic!!" and now I understand how ancient philosophers felt when they had revelations of truth revealed to them in a dream

If I ever wrote media that got popular enough to do interviews, I would be addicted to lying during them. I would make Robert Pattinson look like an honest man. I would go entire interviews telling nothing but lies about my characters and my stories. or I would say like "I told 3 lies during this interview and whoever figures out what they were gets to reveal a fun Easter egg about the upcoming release ;)" but really every single said in the interview was a lie. Sometimes I would tell the truth so people would trust me again, but for the most part I would lie for no reason.

basically every english word that starts with the letter v is awesome. vicious. vivisection. victory. velvet. vigil. verdant. vex. villain. valor. viscous. vacuum. venom. it's hard to go wrong!

come see the big funking dribble! so roomfanf very shiny! discover it on this frustratingly massive area of grarss ! transform your emotion with this metal ? object

everyday i wake up & pray for generative AI's death

when i was 13 i made up a group of ocs who were gifted the ability to teleport but with caveats that made it really irritating for them and everyone else. i can’t remember all of them but two. one of them could only pass from place to place through water. they could jump into something as small as a cup of tea and come out the other side through a puddle or something but notably they did get wet. so any time they teleported anywhere they arrived soaking wet. they had to go everywhere with a waterproof paddling bag as a purse. the other could only teleport between occupied bathrooms. any bathroom in the world was fine but it had to be in use. they could just ask a friend to go in first and cheat it that way but in an emergency they’d just have to barge in on someone with their eyes closed and yell “SORRY! SORRY!” and disappear immediately from existence.

Delay so bad it’s getting me out of art block

Grace being normal (annoying)

pre 2026 pacific rim rewatch: grace and rocky would be drift compatible

mid 2026 pacific rim rewatch: grace would be the third member of the k-sci division and he and newton would have the biggest interpersonal academic beef in the history of xenobiology. they want to strangle each other every day. newton calls him "teach" to piss him off. "heyhey he's the microbiologist, I'm the macrobiologist. you know. size matters?" before the breach newton was the scholar grace called a staggering waste of carbon at the UNESCO conference in denmark.

Does anybody have that image of what cyberpunk dialogue is like. "to crack a cyber lemon this nasty" or whatever

That's the bitch

If you want an idea what more authentic oldschool hacking language sounds like, there is an absolutely ANCIENT webpage called the Jargon File (seems to have been updated from the early 80s up through 2004), aka the New Hacker’s Dictionary, that kept a record. It’s not far from Gibson’s idea but if anything it sounds even dorkier, peppered with coding terms and prehistoric memes

You guys realize you’re interacting with other human beings on here, right?

I just think that maybe some of you should be like, normal

and by that I mean that like. you need to realize there are boundaries with interactions with strangers

“The internet isn’t real life.” The internet is just as real as any other method of communication, as are the people behind these accounts.

This isn’t a Sims game, what you do here has consequences beyond the internet. Be kind.

Fandom spaces have GOT to stop finding out about concept art & saying they were supposed to have x or y. That’s not how concept art works, there isn’t a secret better show they decided to hide from you for no reason

“Look at the animation style we could have had!” and it’s a drawing so detailed that the animators would have killed themselves before ever being able to finish a single frame

how much banger fanwork has been killed in its infancy due to the 40-hour workweek. Do you know how many absolutely rockin comics live only in my head because I don't have time or arm ability left to draw them. As well as weird original comics

even if employed we all have to get more unemployed spiritually

NASA just dropped the closest image ever taken of Jupiter

@hamletthedane’s tags: #Vincent Van Gogh is crying somewhere in the after and I’m crying just thinking about that#you knew!! you saw the patterns!! there is a whole planet painted in the oils from your brush!!#TIL that the craft Juno went as close as 4000km from Jupiter’s weather surface#for context: the craft was closer to Jupiter than NYC is to LA#which is space terms is like. basically being on the planet#holy shit

I wasn't able to find the picture op posted, so it may be fake as people in the comments are claiming, but Jupiter does still look like that!
