Giant isopods can curl into a ball just like their terrestrial cousins, it seems.

Bulbasaur is such a sweetie, seriously.

#SERIOUSLY #ASH’S BULBASAUR IS ONE OF THE COOLEST POKEMON IN TERMS OF PERSONALITY #HE ROCKS TOGEPI TO SLEEP WHEN IT’S CRYING #IT PROTECTED AND LOOKED AFTER OTHER POKEMON BEFORE ASH CAUGHT IT #IT ACTUALLY SAW RIGHT THROUGH ONE OF TEAM ROCKET’S DISGUISES AND DECIDED TO FUCK THEIR SHIT UP FOR TRYING TO STEAL POKEMON #in other words: bulbasaur is a kind and caring pokemon who looks out for others and will fuck you up if you try to hurt it’s friends

UGH YES

pikachu and squirtle just look so fucking impressed they’re like

“DUDE

DUDE HE WAS SAD AND NOW HE’S NOT SAD

YOU UNSADDED HIM

DUDE I THINK YOU MIGHT BE MAGIC”

and this is why Bulbasaur is my favorite!

To me it seems like having a giant dog that can’t fit through doors or inside a house would cause more accessibility problems than it solved, even if you took the “dog doesn’t eat because magic” route

I’ll give you a good transport fantasy animal.

I LOVE it.

Imagine the crab acting a bit like a decorator crab, picking up pillows and stacking them in the lap of its owner.

Off to bed, gotta remember to finish working on writing Alzu smut tomorrow. And NOT at 1am.

My bunny boy Wesley turned 9 this year! His hobbies include chewing up paper (the more important the documents the tastier), following you around the house and sleeping on your bed.
He’s a Netherland dwarf if you’re wondering.

Excellent hobbies for anyone, especially a bun bun.

i.e. why when you or someone else gets stabbed or impaled, you should leave the object in the wound until medical help arrives.

THIS. RIGHT HERE. This is an amazing example!!

If you take the thing out, they’re going to bleed a lot more.

SO. DONT.

News Flash from the Medical Help ™ — we don’t touch it either! Unless the object they’re impaled with is literally too big to fit in the ambulance, We. Don’t. Touch. The. Thing.

The only people qualified to Take-The-Thing-Out are surgeons. End of story.

Okay, but for the love of God, please, PLEASE, if you did, if you panicked and took the thing out…. DON’T…. PUT IT BACK IN.

Or else, congratulations, you just stabbed them AGAIN. I reeeeeally shouldn’t have to say this guys, but I do.

Could I PLEASE stop seeing period dramas where women aren’t wearing chemises under their corsets

Also to add- corsets were not because of “patriarchical oppression”. In most cases it was how you held up and supported your boobs with the benefit of shaping your figure at the same time. Just like a bra today. I hate it when some actresses refuse to wear corsets for a role that ABSOLUTELY WOULD HAVE WORN ONE because they’re trying to express their feminism. Like, I get it, it’s 100% okay to express your feminism but for goodness sakes do some historical research about what it actually was before making assumptions

Also, also, please no more “I can’t get into my corset without help” because that’s nonsense. I’m sure there were a lot of rich ladies who were laced in every day but a lot of other women managed to put on corsets themselves just fine. There was a study done in the 1887 about how women laced their corsets and the majority of them didn’t lace it so tightly they couldn’t breathe. In fact most women laced it to a comfortable place, with a 3 to 4 inch gap at the back.

There are so many myths about corsets and I’m passionate about accurate depictions of historical clothing

Tightlacing a corset and just wearing one to support your boobs are two different things!!!!

I made these gifs from a couple of short films made by Eadweard Muybridge circa 1872-1885 (link goes to my original post, which includes links to the videos themselves which are better of course than the gifs) because they clearly show how women put on a corset, as well as how much space (2-4″) was left in the back. It’s also obvious that it’s not excessively tight, nor does it overly constrict her waist or torso. They also show the correct underpinnings for the time period.

My mom’s worn corsets for ren fair costumes a couple of times, and I’ve tried hers on. I don’t think I’d want to work out in one, but you can breathe in one. You just can’t take a really deep breath. They’re not that uncomfortable, either, I’ve worn bras that are worse. Heck, if I had big boobs, it’d probably be an improvement on nudity to have that much support.
