Legendary whiskey distiller Jack Daniel actually died from kicking his safe after forgetting the combination. He injured his big toe, which got infected, and eventually led to foot amputation. It was too late though, the infection spread, and he eventually died from complications.
The ability of the human body to survive immense injury while also succumbing to the most bizarre things has always fascinated me.
actually when I was in 8th grade and obsessed with twilight my master plan as a twilight vampire was to sit around in famous shipwrecks like the super deep ones where they can only send robots with cameras from their submarines and when they sent one down i’d be sitting there, pretending to drink out of an old tea cup you know for the drama of it all and the guys in the submarine would know what they saw and that it was real footage but who else would believe them? no one important.
but it didn’t stop there. at the next party they threw to celebrate one of their latest finds, some museum-y banquet idk I was 13, I was going to show up. I was going to show up and make eye contact with them one at a time from across the room and they were going to lose their goddamn minds and then before the volturi could catch wind i was gonna be back in the ocean. how could they find me?
the drama. the theatrics. i can’t believe i didn’t realize i was gay right then but that’s another story, also involving vampires,
hate to burst your fantasy, but
1) vampires don’t show up in film
2) vampires can’t cross moving water much less sit at the bottom of the ocean
you’ve got me a in a difficult position here because on the one hand, this post is specifically about vampire lore in Twilight, so you’re wrong, but on the other hand, saying “you clearly didn’t read twilight” doesn’t exactly make you look like the bad guy here
i mean one could argue the reason they didnt show up on film awas because film was developed using silver which si the purest metal and vampires would show up on digital cameras so it would still be applicable

silver-tongues-blog asked: hot take, the ultimate villain of homestuck is paradox space for making everything happen the way it did and punishing anyone who wanted to deviate from the path set out
see i wish i could subscribe to that theory but that’s like saying that truth from fmab is a villain! ultimately paradox space is but an all encompassing entity—it is space, it is time, it is life, it is doom. it isn’t bad or good—it just is, and without it, there is nothing.
true unabashed evil in homestuck stems from power, but isn’t that the case with reality as well?
the rason i subscribe to the theory is because i also subscribe tot he theory that john beat paradox space. that his retcon powers are the only thing that could properly derail its plans without punishing everyone involved. the most paradox space can do is try to clean up the duplicates which is why once john got the retcon powers, it gave them a position to beat lord english who i think is the avatar of paradox space reflective in john kicking caliborns ass.
basically, my theory is that paradox space is an asshole and its self insert is LE which is why all the events lead to LE being created up until the retcon.
