A few years ago, I went to an anatomy conference and they had a huge 3D printed vampire skull, and these thoughts have been on my mind ever since I saw the teeth up-close.
The under-utilized potential for this bothers me a lot… like in movies… it’s just bite and done!
What happened to ritual shaving or elaborate skin engraving?
I know a lot of artists/writers follow me…. can you guys do Vampires a solid?
did i tell y’all that one time when my friends and i were making a joke mockumentary about a fake cryptid, my sibling and i got into a really bad hospitalizing car crash and instead of delaying it we just decided to film in the hospital and also convinced my mom and dad to play roles in it as well?
hey just wanted to say thanks for this incredibly chilling remark i’m so scared now
I love deep diving vids cause at least some of these animals have never seen a human before and they all so gagged.
THEY’RE SO CUTE
“Food? Food? Are you food? Is it food?”
I’ve been tagged in this a bunch, I’m but reblogging this untagged version because @lyrslair added the only accurate commentary I’ve seen on it so far.
These are tuna crabs (which are actually a type of squat lobster, A+ naming job, science) and this is investigatory behavior. These guys spend most of their time as adults living on the seafloor on the continental shelf off of Baja, California. In deep water, most things that land on the sea floor are probably food - think whale falls - and so this is most likely them checking out the diver to see if he’s edible. Notice that they’re mostly interested in his hand, not the sea star he’s holding at the beginning.
I just watched a man release every Pokemon he caught except for a level 5 Magikarp, waste all of his money and throw away all of his items at the Pokemon center just before the elite four in Pokemon red in order to trap himself in an unwinnable game. He couldn’t beat the elite 4 with a level 5 magikarp, and it couldn’t learn the hm moves necessary to leave victory road, and Magikarp only knew splash and had absolutely no chance of beating the level 40ish Pokemon there so… This guy wanders around victory road hoping a Geodude or Graveler would use selfdestruct or explosion in the first turn of an encounter and miss his Magikarp, which is technically possible because even moves with a 100% hitrate have a 1/256 chance to still miss. It happened eventually, and he beat the elite four with a level 100 gyarados
What the actual fuck
For some context, this is from a video series called “SoftLockPicking” where a guy’s followers come up with challenges to get him stuck in an unwinnable game and he tries to see if he can get out of them. Sort of a video game escape artist.
Things just happen in Russia in a unique way that I’m not sure can ever be explained. Like how a fucking meteor landed in the middle of the Russian wilderness and resulted in the equivalent of a nuclear bomb going off but no one really even noticed.
russia requiring drivers to have dashcams for insurance purposes is literally the best law ever enacted bc we get to see shit like this
tory power stance is still the funniest thing to come out of uk party politics in a long time
CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER
I feel like I need to talk about the random shit I know about this pose. As they paid a guy a lot of money to come up with a pose that’d make the important tories look POWERFUL and IMPOSING. And they guy came up with this, but it was only meant for photos of the torso up and none of them realised.
There are a couple of interviews with kids that were on the show floating around and basically they were stressed out from filming all day with no breaks and Nick could only afford to give out like 2 prizes a year so they screwed with the kids to make sure they messed up. One of the girls interviewed mentioned she still has nightmares about the temple guards 25 years later.
I’m sorry
WHAT
okay, filming this show was wild
we today hearing ‘nickelodeon’ think of the industry giant sitting uppon the golden hoard they squeezed out of spongebob over the last two decades, but at the time this show came out they were facing serious competition from, well, everybody including pbs. this was one of the spearhead projects they had, buckling down on the ‘for kids, by kids’ mindset by having gameshows that not only feature kid contestants but seem like they were dreamed up by kids as well
one of the cheats they did is that during one day they were actually filming three or more separate episodes, one team of kids would do the first section, then go to an arcade/lounge in back while the next team of kids used the hastily re-set first stage to cut down on having to setup. then all the cameramen are repositioned for round 2 and the teams are brought back to do the next part. this often meant those kids were trying to hold together for many hours, there was enough rest period for them to physically recover but not enough for them to mentally or emotionally get over having been filming stunts
there were multiple reasons behind this working- you at home might see over four episodes where all the maze sections look the same, and wonder why the kids didnt know ahead of time as obviously theyre on rotation. well that was the only day the maze was setup like that way, and there were purposefully deadends and guards in the most likely places for kids to pick, the loud countdown reminders also made the kids panic. the guards were kind of a dick move
yeah, it was setup specifically to freak kids out, as it was basically a speedrun haunted house.
also dont forget the kids had to collect medallion pieces, which were required to finish the challenge, however those medallion pieces could also be used to save themselves from a guard, which the show was relying on the kids doing to mean they couldnt finish
so i didnt know this about smash for glory. apparently theres a blacklisted server you get redirected to if you get reported enough, and it is such a salt mine.
The blacklist server changes a person.
Imagine if they did this with IRL sports, like if you have enough fouls in basketball you get sent to Dark Basketball and have to play against a bunch of other bastards
i would actually care about sports if that were the case
I like haunted houses in theory BUT I have no idea how to react when the actors speak to you. They ask me a question and I just… answer it…
The scariest part of a haunted house is the unscripted social interaction.
Scary nurse in a creepy voice: “Do you have an appointment to see the doctor?”
Me: “Uh. Do you accept walk-ins?”
Scary farmer: “I like to kill people!”
My friend, brightly: “I like to die!”
Zombie : “AARRRGH”
Me : “Do you get dental insurance?”
Zombie : “TEETH!!”
This happened to me.
Scary prison dude: HELLO
Me: Nice to meet you!
Him: (pause) No it’s noooooot
My worst horror house experience was when I couldn’t find the (rather obvious) exit and the guy chasing me with a chainsaw stopped, sighed and pointed me to the exit, saying “please scream as loud as you can when you run out there” and just left. I disappointed the horror house chainsaw dude and I will never get over that
Guy: They are all my friends.. (motioning to hanging corpses; then grabs a noose) Will you be my friend? Me: Sure totally, you made me a friendship necklace? Oh my god your so sweet? Guy: … Yes.. Please, let me.. I cant I cant just go (laughing).
– Got to walk a second time through–
Same guy: My friends -wailing- Me: I came back I just really wanted to be friends so bad Guy: (laughing more) Please, Im not allowed to laugh.
I went to a Haunted House and literally befriended every actor there.
Specifically, I remember;
There were zombies walking around in the waiting room. I said “Hi!” and he gave me a high five. Every time he passed from then on, I got a high five.
Near the end, there were these twin little girls. “Come play with us.” They said. “Okay!” I said. “Forever.” They said. “Oh, sorry, can’t do that. I’m busy.”
I could hear them giggling.
Guy playing Freddie Kruger: Remember, you are all my children!
