today i found out that when monarch butterflies migrate south for the winter, all the ones that go across the middle of lake superior suddenly stop going south and go west for five miles and then continue south. which really freaked scientists out cos like What is in the Middle of Lake Superior what do Butterflies know that We Dont Is This The End Times etc. anyway turns out about a hundred million years ago there was a mountain there and the butterflies still think they gotta fly around it. classic butterflies
Every single time someone tries to make Jasper and Peridot sympathetic I wanna bash my head in.
like theres this thing where if someone likes a character, they suddenly cant be evil? like??
there’s a way to add depth to a character without completely rewriting that character and ignoring whats there and this isnt it
but sympathetic≠not evil. Like Jasper is definitely evil, she’s a bad guy, but when we saw her chained desperately calling out to Steven I felt a ton of sympathy for her.
sidenote: I don’t think we know enough about the circumstances of homeworld gems to say if they’re redeemable or not
…You and I are clearly watching two different shows because Jasper was PISSED and wanted to kill Steven.
The furrowed brows and the way she was angrily repeating “You.. YOU!!” don’t read as sympathetic.
They read as murderous. She wasn’t trying to get Steven to help her she wanted the person who ruined all her plans dead.
^^^ This isn’t a cry for help. This is a “I’m going to destroy you”.
I love both Jasper and Peridot AS VILLAINS. and tbh idc if people wanna head canon/draw all the redemption arc or other fun stuff. That’s what Fandom’s about. It’s when people blindly love these trash lords without recognizing the fact that they are trash lords.
A Evil/Bad character does not become sweet and misunderstood because you like them
Not to mention peridot was creating abominations of nature by forcing the corpses of fallen gems to fuse, putting them in great pain. I really don’t think that frankensteining without remorse is redeemable.
Temporary jobs or not, you should still be able to house yourself on a minimum wage salary.
You can house yourself on full time minimum wage, it’s called having roommates.
^^^^ this is called derailing
In the fifties a single working man at federal minimum wage could support a family of him his wife and two children. Housing, food, transportation, and education. Quit this roommate shit and let’s be better.
“Yeah, that one bedroom apartment is gonna be $800, plus, electricity, internet, heating, and water. So, about $1200 on top of the $400 for your outside bills, and whatever else on food, gas, and clothes. If you work 3 jobs at $8.25 for minimum wage, you’ll just make it! :D”
Just gonna wait here till a cis white gay man comes and attacks me for raining on his parade.
She was invited in, and then interrupted the president’s speech with heckling, repeatedly, and was even given an opportunity directly from Obama to stop and let him finish. It’s not like they saw her and were like “oh I’m sorry you can’t come in” she did something to get kicked out.
Oh my god, being trans doesn’t stop you from being an ass. It’s not like one or the other, “she’s trans, so obviously she’s just 100% victim”.
imagine a muggleborn enchanting a bath bomb so it works like normal but it works instantly and never dissolves so it can be re-used over and over again but then they’re showing it to their friend on the deck of a cruise ship and they drop it overboard into the ocean and because all the oceans on earth are connected it only takes a few hours for all the water in the world to be contaminated by the bath bomb and because the water cycle is broken the only potable water left on earth is the stuff that was already bottled but that runs out quickly and all the plants die, destroying the food chain and rendering Earth uninhabitable. Within a few years, earth is completely lifeless, although fragrant, and from space it is a brilliant sparkly pink.
No no, you don’t understand, moose really do get that big. Take it from a Canadian. I’ve seen that bullshit in person. Scary as all heck.
And that’s how people can die if they hit a moose. Seriously, one of our fears when driving in the country is having to deal with this scenario of a moose jumping out in front of the car.
moose are actual legit ice age megafauna; theyve been here since the ice age, they are old as fuck. they also are pretty terrifying and ive echoed this before but i went to wiki and “In terms of raw numbers, they attack more people than bears and wolves combined” and “ In the Americas, moose injure more people than any other wild mammal and, worldwide, only hippopotamuses injure more.”
like, fuck off with that
I was dog sitting a dog once who insisted she had to go out in the middle of the night it was an emergency, so I took her out. Suddenly she starts pointing and barking and I look up and can just make out the outline of a HUGE moose. I’ve been accidentally face to face with a black bear and that scared me less than being up close with a moose. I’m 5 foot so imagine staring up at an animal several feet taller than you that is debating charging the dog who’s leash you are holding. I was terrified as I grabbed the dog by her collar to get better control over her and backed up slowly til I was out of line of sight and bolted for the house at a dead run. Did you know most Canadian lake monster stories come from people seeing moose swimming? They are massive animals.
They are massive and they charge. I get so scared when tourists are all “oh yeah, we got out of the car to get a closer look and, ya’ll have some mighty impressive animals around here.”
Yes, yes we do, and they have mighty tired guardian angels because moose can, and do, charge at people.
I’ve always said that moose hunting season is the one time of the year we’re allowed to fight back.
Someone my mom worked with died hitting a moose on the highway. Their eyes don’t reflect light. In the dark they are literally nothing but a big slightly darker shape in the night.
Roughly every year in the town I grew up in, a cow (moose) and her calf will wander through downtown. Maybe once or twice. If she’s aggressive enough, the local Mounties will escort her through to keep idiots away.
I’ve definitely talked with people who thought moose were deer-sized or maybe horse-sized and I was like NO YOU DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND MOOSE ARE TERRIFYING
Moose are terrifying, you guys.
I finally live on a province where moose and deer exist.
I do not drive at night in fear of meeting one. If you hit a moose going 90 on a highway, not only is your car trashed, you are probably trashed. I’ve seen cars that got wrecked and there seems to be a consensus that at least half the time, the giant fucking beastie just shakes itself off and continues gallumphing along the countryside.
If you fucking hit a moose with your car and their legs go through your windshield, congratulations, you are dead. Massive hooves kicking you to death? Yeah.
Moose are fucking terrifying. Bull moose won’t fuck with you too much unless you fuck with them, but the time a bull moose casually swaggered his way past 7 year old me when I was sledding literally put me off winter sports for a solid month.
Momma moose and their babies, though? I legitimately had to call in to work to be like “ey yo there is a moose in my driveway and I can’t get out” AND MY MANAGERS UNDERSTOOD.
Moose. MOOSE.
Congratulations Canada! Your wildlife has successfully freaked out and Australian.
So Thranduil riding a moose wasn’t an exaggeration?
I went “eh, Photoshop.”
And then got as far as “no, you don’t understand, our moose really do get that big” and scrolled back up, and entirely without my consent the phrase “sweet holy Jesus“ came flying out of my mouth. I think I just begged for protection from a deity I don’t even worship and I live in Arizona.
This puts my “I was chased by a snapping turtle the size of a manhole cover” story to shame, man. Holy fucking shit on a stick.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
