in tonight’s edition of very specific kinds of people i can’t fucking stand:

kassasaurus-rex:

 men who drive fucking gigantic shiny pickups that they obviously just have as ego-boosters who fucking tailgate you on an empty stretch of freeway at night and they’ve replaced their headlights with fucking military-grade 500 proton scatter billion lumen searchlights that they fucking utterly blind you with while honking for you to get out of your lane because they just desperately have to go a full 40 miles over the speed limit or their dick will just jump clean off their balls and hurl itself out their window in shame

themintycupcake:

I remember a popular old art piece called “Unusual Patronuses” or something like that, and one of the patronuses in question was a mantis shrimp. No joke, though, I would be fucking thrilled to have a mantis shrimp as my patronus. Can you imagine having a magic shrimp punch your enemies into sumbission? No one would wanna fuck with you.

A normal-sized mantis shrimp. You’re facing off against a dementor and this little six-inch-long streak of blue comes shooting out of your wand and punches the fuck out of it.

This is why you should have a cat y’all. Egyptians believed that cats repelled evil spirits.

Cats are evil spirits. They’re just the strongest so all others must bow to their greatness.

Actually according to legend, cats are guardians of the Underworld. So once you are dead if you try to sneak back into the land of the living they send you back where you came from. They protect the living from the dead.

If you ever wonder why a cat stares off into the wild blue yonder and then bolts off for “no reason…”

That cat even looks like it’s accusing him of something like wait a Fucking minute here are you dead did you really think you could slip that shit passed me

Unrelated question, but…

Why is it that Transformers look like metallic human (regardless of continuity)?

I know that Transformers are creations of human beings, and human beings generally prefer humanoid characters over some weird “realistic alien life form” shit, but that’s the matter beyond their universe. Is there any explanation that does not break 4th wall?

Aligned continuity may have some explanations for this, because they’ve got Unicron as Earth itself. but what about other continuities? 

I think that GI Joe comic from Tom Scoli had humanity and Transformers being made by a godperson called Daiakuron, buuuuuut the entire comic’s just batshit.

G1 cartoon has the transformers as having been made by quintessons, who I guess designed them humanoid because it’s a useful shape despite the quints not being humanoid themselves. Kind of a cop out & it’s not my favorite origin but yanno, it’s there

Fair point, but it still doesn’t explain directly why humans and TFs look so alike… did Quintessons ever seen humans? Or did humans just miraculously evolved into what quintessons thought would be the useful shape by some sheer dumb luck???

Depends on the continuity- ALSO in the G1 cartoon Primus is made not by Quintessons, but by a humanoid creature (Primacron) so it’s implied that Transformers actually look like that, not just humans. Humans and Primacron just kinda look like each other (there’s also some additional less-canon stuff from comics that’s supposed to suggest Quintessons looked humanoid before they became big squid cyborgs but I can’t find anything about it so idk where or when that was.)

Though I have seen suggestions for concepts where Transformers are not, in fact, humanoid- but they also scan humans as a secondary altmode- their actual “true form” being more quintesson like in that they’re just metal octopuses.

Well, in TFP, Unicron is the Earth’s core. It’s likely that he subconsciously influenced the development of life on Earth. So, in TFP, it’s because humans look Cybertronianoid.

Executive chef at a top Thai restaurant tells Gordon Ramsay that his Pad Thai is trash [x]

Lmao “what do you want to know from me?” Fuck!

So no one thinks that Gordon’s being “Put in his place” or something, this is from Gordon’s show where he specifically goes to places around the world to be schooled in how they do their cuisine and un-fuck the British (Imperialist but we can’t admit that on TV, but he does hint STRONGLY at it in some episodes) way of cooking “exotic” dishes by learning from the people who do it best.

That’s the world’s most successful chef putting himself in a position to learn from chefs around the world in world-class restaurants, grandmother’s houses, in a cramped make-shift kitchen on a rocking and speeding steam train, and more. He doesn’t shy away from learning from people who’ve never been in the remote vicinity of a culinary arts school or run a “professional” kitchen.

And here he’s showing a chef what he thinks of as Pad Thai and if you don’t think one of the most talented chefs on earth didn’t know he was specifically setting himself up to fail to make a point to his audience, then hopefully you do now! ❤ 

the context- he wasnt saying ‘heres my world famous pad tai for you to sample, a recipe i hold more dear then my own mother’ its closer to  ‘here, this is how i was taught to cook pad tai in liverpool by a man named charles, how far off am i?’

If you’re someone who wants to make original stuff for people to see, DO IT!!! 

Your worth as an artist is not determined by the number of Tumblr notes you get. Followers are NOT a currency. Don’t worry about instant gratification, because you’re creating something only you can own for the rest of your life! It will take you longer to build up an audience around something that doesn’t have a pre-loaded fanbase. In fact it’ll probably take longer than you think, but you’ll have a much more satisfying artistic career.

Every artist needs to see this

Yesssss
