“average Person Eats 3 Spiders A Year” Factoid Actualy Just Statistical Error. Average Person Eats

I can’t handle this 🥺

it goes against so much of what i stand for to share "palestinians are humans, they have hobbies, they have pets, they laugh and cry" kind of posts because i've spent so much of my life and career completely rejecting the notion that we should humanize ourselves, that we should ever be defensive, that we should entertain this racism at all

but it breaks my heart when i have to share them from people in gaza, who are using their five minutes of internet connection, their 25% of battery charge collected from a macguyvered car battery, emotionally exhausted, thirsty and hungry, sleeping in schools that have turned into refugee shelters and still making the time to say "please, i am human too, i am still alive, please fight for me" in english to appeal to the only people who have the power to help

i shared a tweet from a jjk artist in gaza i follow about a bts photocard being found in the middle of the rubble. even the love of anime and kpop and sports is no longer just a hobby, but an appeal to humanity. what was once a source of joy is now proof of life.

the worst part is that you won't find this content in arabic. palestinians don't post like this in arabic. but when they translate themselves, they recognize that they must humanize themselves first. it's an unspoken understanding of dehumanization, one that has dictated a whole region's understanding of the value of human life. in arabic they speak with dignity, with anger, with sorrow. in english, they appeal for their existence.

i share these posts not just because we have to reach everyone we can, because im being asked to and i will not refuse. but i also share them because they're evidence of how deep the racism has run. at what dehumanization leads to. of war crime after war crime. this too i will not forget.

what if cait sith's accent is reeve's normal accent but he just pretends to have a midgar/american accent so he doesn't stand out

bro hits his big toe on a corner and the irish in him comes out of hiding

i really like looking at google image searches for “firemen rescuing cats” or something because you get super cute pictures like

AND THEN THERE’S THIS ONE

Behold! A crack fic idea!

Extra point if each time one of the Desmonds does something that goes against the timeline we get a flashforeward to the present day, and it's a different kind of post-apocalypse each time.

Extra extra points if the post-apocalypses get increasingly absurd and ridiculous as the story goes on.

Okay, so for this one, we have:

Clay!Desmond

Layla!Desmond

Minevra!Desmond

The Reader

which means I can do this:

How the Desmonds met cat!Desmond:

I kinda like the idea that we never learn who sent cat!Desmond into the past. Hell, we never learn he’s actually a Desmond as well. He just keeps following them and likes to use his claws to get a ‘piggyback ride’. XD

A visual representation of how the Desmonds are tackling every major events of their ancestors:

(not part of the visualization: the dude in charge of the Templars in Cyprus because the Desmonds actually forgot about him and thought he was just one of the mooks)

And then we have Elijah who tries to act all serious and kinda like a dick (it's the Aita genes) but can't help but lean into any kindness and gentleness the Desmonds show him.

The poor modern gang:

(It would be funny if they didn't realize that there are multiple Desmond running around at first so they assume they only have one Desmond to worry about)

Rebecca updating her notes every few weeks:

The modern day gang's relationship with the Desmonds (that the Desmonds are unaware of)

Also... this was the first ridiculous 'apocalypse' I thought of XD

What the structure of the idea would probably be:

apparently ppl don’t know about waifu2x??? despite its… concerning name it’s literally the most convenient website i’ve ever come across as an artist

it allows you to resize artwork without it becoming pixellated. this is a MASSIVE help if you, for example, make lineart too small or something. it works best with things that 1. have no textures 2. have smooth lines 3. have cel shading, but it still works really damn well for things that don’t fit that profile

here’s an example:

normal size

2x in paint

2x in waifu2x

so like, there’s that. go wild

omfg im laughing so hard i fell asleep on my keyboard last night and i just found this
