i can understand the use of large house for a family but what do those single rich fucks with the goddamn true mansions do with all that space exactly? like let's table all valid criticisms of the spending and constructing of them aside and just focus on what exactly you do with that space

As a real estate photographer I can tell you with a confidence that most of that space is entirely unused. Extra kitchens which have never seen a meal, billiards rooms with untouched felt, an office that no one has ever worked in, a second, or third family room, that no family member has spent any significant amount of time in. I once shot a place with a walk-in closet so large the dude had an 8-person dining room table in the middle of it.. like.. no one is hanging out in your closet homie.. maybe downsize?

this is a fantastic answer, thank you for replying. sadly it confirmed my fears that these people are all insane

Traditionally mansions and manors had a lot of space because they were the lifelong homes of multiple generations of a family (the lord and lady, their unmarried children and heirs, and various widowed aunts and in-laws), dozens of servants, and rooms or even wings set aside for a constantly rotating cast of guests who had travelled days or weeks to visit so of course they were going to stay a while.

Now there's just Hank, Kate, Keighleyee, and their sterile palace.

Part of me is opposed to the idea of big houses on principle and just wants a nice, some would say tiny, cottage in the woods to settle down with my own small family. 

Part of me wants to buy one of these ridiculously large houses and just adopt like 3 or 4 other families. 

The mashup you never thought would work

Congratu-fucking-lations.

I would pay so much to have this as a ringtone I’m not even joking.

Why?????

The face I made while listening to this was so visceral I had to draw it before reblogging it

How…dare…

I literally hate everything about this fucking website but especially this

My mouth legitimately just dropped open….

I didn’t ask for this

This is a bop actually y'all just have no tastes 😔

Sighhhhhh guess this is what I’m listening to for the next ten hours

So far my favorite AU Logan that I've made is the one where he is basically the definition of Logos. Where he has definitions tattooed all up and down his arms, only the closer that you look the more vaguely threatening the words of the definitions are.

He is not neat.

He is like a jumbled dictionary sewn together out of spite itself.

His eyes never stay the same, and the same goes with his outfit.

Rapidly changing on a whim to fit with whatever series of definitions take up his skin.

He's more partial to the dark academia look, and he reflects that.

I recall you making the comparison (at least once) that Twitter is to blogging like crack cocaine is to a nice glass of wine (or something to that effect). I was wondering what comparison your Tumblr experience would elicit, or would Tumblr kind of fall under the generic "blogging" umbrella?

Tumblr is junk food. It’s mostly really nice junk food, though. Like the kind of chocolate that comes packaged in wrapping that points out that nobody was enslaved or murdered to bring you this chocolate, and that trees were planted and anyway, cocoa is an antioxidant. So you can absolutely almost forget that, at the end of the day, you’re still scoffing chocolate.

sci-fi MUST have:

-idiot found family on a spaceship

-gay people

However it can be improved upon by also having:

-train but in space

-ocean creatures but in space

-gay people again

Post it- your theory- I'd love to read it!

Avatar

One ask but we're gonna do it anyways-

Okay so remember how Remus said he was Cain and Roman was Abel during DWIT? Based on the theory of Cain not knowing that he killed Abel (another theory we came up with that Cain was the first to murder and is blamed with being the beginning of evil and Abel was the first to die but since he was the first to die, Cain didn't know that death was a thing so what if Cain was just like "oh I'll just hit him over the head with a rock as a joke" and then Abel's just...dead), what if that was foreshadowing for a future episode where Remus hurts Roman in some way (physical or otherwise) but he doesn't realize it? However, the fandom (or at least the rest of the sides) think he's even more evil because of what he's done. Since Janus has started to be accepted by Thomas, there's a chance his mentality slowly shifts to how Virgil's is, thus making him turn his back on Remus as well.

...but what if it already happened?

So when Remus bonked Roman, it knocked him out right? So what if that actually changed Roman? Like before we know he was super princely and an egoist and all that jazz but we know he started to shift at some point in the series where he became easily manipulatable and vv confused and kind of lost in a way like he had lost sight of his purpose so-

what if, when Remus hit him, it changed him?

What if Remus killed a part of Roman? More specifically, his happiness? We know that Roman got progressively sadder as the series went on. He was less outgoing and kept to himself more, lashing out in defense because of his fragile state of mind. Remus is intrusive thoughts and they're mostly seen in a negative light, usually making you feel bad or unnerved. So what if he gave Roman intrusive thoughts so bad that it killed his happiness?

Remus did it unknowingly, of course, not intentionally meaning to hurt Ro. But what if Romans redemption (?) arc is him confessing that he changed and that it all started when Remus showed up? He wouldn't want to blame it on Remus (mostly because the last time he declared a side was at fault or evil he was ridiculed and manipulated into thinking so), but he knows he played a part in it, but the others would still blame Remus for it and most likely shun and/or disown him. Then again, Roman might take up for his brother and we might finally get the brotherly Creativtwins content we love bUT THATS FOR ANOTHER DAY.

Anyway, this was just a lil theory we came up with and we thought we'd share :)

Hope you enjoyed and we may share other crazy shit we come up with later :)

(also bible enthusiasts don't come after us we're just throwing out ideas pls don't bombard us with facts and shit okay thankssss)

Logan: The man I want to be romantically involved with must be classy, intelligent, sophisticated-

Remus: Hey, Logan! Are you made up of dark matter? Because you’re indescribable.

Logan: That one, I want that one.

Fun fact! Water actually turns “blood red” when it is contaminated by sulfur creating sulfuric acid. And scientists have discovered that around the time of the plagues a volcano went off that disturbed Egypt’s environment. So the plagues are scientifically proven. The other parts of the plagues are explained by the sulfuric acid river making the animals leave the river and escaping into the human population.

WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME THE PLAGUES WERE PROVEN

if anyone wants a full list heres how they happened:

basically they all stem from a massive eruption of a volcano on the island of santorini off the coast of greece. the ash then floated over to egypt which kickstarted the plagues

1) blood: the ash carried the mineral cinnabar, which has the capability of turning water red

2) frogs: the ash also had many toxic and acidic substances so naturally, all the frogs are gonna flee the river

3) lice: given what was going on insects would have burrowed into dead animals/peoples skin and laid eggs, which then hatched

4) beasts: everything is getting poisoned from the ash and toxins, causing animals to freak the fuck out/die

5) pestilence: toxins again

6) boils: the ash would have caused storms that carried acid rain which when it fell, would irritate peoples skin causing boils

7) hail: the storm again

8) locusts: again with the insects and the amount of dead bodies and such which attract more insects. a lotta insects basically.

9) darkness: the ash covered the sky, blocking out the sun

10) slaying of the first born: given that children’s bodies were found in higher numbers than others, some archeologists think they may have been sacrificed to stop all the destruction, but they aren’t 100% sure about that. this is just me but I would say another possibility is that babies/kids are a lot more susceptible to toxins and shit, so while an adult may have been fine or gotten a bit sick, it might have been very dangerous/deadly for kids or babies

the volcano would also attest for the parting of the sea weirdly enough. the red sea was in fact the ‘reed’ sea, and was very shallow, probably waist deep or so. given the amount of shit dumped into the ocean from the volcano, this wouldve caused a tsunami to head towards egypt. the water would get sucked out from the reed sea right before the tsunami hit, letting people pass it easily, then the actual tsunami would hit, fuckin up anyone who tried to follow.

another theory is that the red water was caused by algae, which would cause the frogs and stuff to jump out as well. the algae also carried substances toxic to animals so if they ingested any they’d get sick and die, so more insects. in this theory there was a sand storm coincidentally that caused the rest

The volcano wasn’t ON Santorini - it WAS Santorini, then called Thera. It completely blew away the Minoan settlements on the island and was one of the largest eruptions in human history

  • The tsunamis from the Theran eruption devastated Crete, weakening the then-powerful Minoan civilization, leaving them open to being invaded by the Mycenaeans.
  • The volcanic winter it created devastated crops in China leading to the fall of the Xia Dynasty. 
  • The abrupt and catastrophic loss of the people of Thera may have also inspired the myths about Atlantis.

this is blowing my fucking mind

I love that if you really boil all this information down, what you get is something approximating “the sinking of Atlantis caused the 10 Biblical plagues of Egypt” which is, like, one of the greatest mythological mash-ups I have ever heard of.

I’m sorry but I strongly refuse to accept “married man finds the love of his life in another woman and leaves his wife and children behind (to get married to the new one)” as romantic - not even a little bit.

same but im not sorry

you know what is romantic, unmarried carefree man meets love of his life, single mother with several kids and he bonds with them and loves them and becomes a part of the family and is a total sweetheart

yes Im aware this is aristocats

Random Headcanon: That Federation vessels in Star Trek seem to experience bizarre malfunctions with such overwhelming frequency isn’t just an artefact of the television serial format. Rather, it’s because the Federation as a culture are a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles, tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don’t really understand. Endlessly frustrating if you have to fight them, because they can pull an effectively unlimited number of bullshit space-magic countermeasures out of their arses - but they’re as likely as not to give themselves a lethal five-dimensional wedgie in the process. All those rampant holograms and warp core malfunctions and accidentally-traveling-back-in-time incidents? That doesn’t actually happen to anyone else; it’s literally just Federation vessels that go off the rails like that. And they do so on a fairly regular basis.

So to everyone else in the galaxy, all humans are basically Doc Brown.

Aliens who have seen the Back to the Future movies literally don’t realise that Doc Brown is meant to be funny. They’re just like “yes, that is exactly what all human scientists are like in my experience”.

THE ONLY REASON SCOTTY IS CHIEF ENGINEER INSTEAD OF SOMEONE FROM A SPECIES WITH A HIGHER TECHNOLOGICAL APTITUDE IS BECAUSE EVERYONE FROM THOSE SPECIES TOOK ONE LOOK AT THE ENTERPRISE’S ENGINE ROOM AND RAN AWAY SCREAMING

vulcan science academy: why do you need another warp core

humans: we’re going to plug two of them together and see if we go twice as fast

vsa: last time we gave you a warp core you threw it into a sun to see if the sun would go twice as fast

humans: hahaha yeah

humans: it did tho

vsa: IT EXPLODED

humans: it exploded twice as fast

I love this. Especially because of how well it plays with my headcanon that the Federation does so much better against the Borg than anyone else because beating the Borg with military tactics is nigh-impossible, but beating them with wacky superscience shenanigans works as long as they’re unique wacky superscience shenanigans.

Yeah, I love this.

Reminds me of the thing I wrote a while back about Humans in high fantasy realms - they’re basically Team Fuck It Hold My Beer I Got This.

Impulsive, passionate to a fault, the social structures they build to try and regulate this hotheadedness ironically creates even greater levels of sheer bull-headedness. Even their “cooler” heads take action in months or weeks.

All their great heroes of the past were impossibly rash by galactic standards. Humans Just Go With It, which is their great flaw but also their greatest strength.

klingons: okay we don’t get it

vulcan science academy: get what

klingons: you vulcans are a bunch of stuffy prisses but you’re also tougher, stronger, and smarter than humans in every single way

klingons: why do you let them run your federation

vulcan science academy: look

vulcan science academy: this is a species where if you give them two warp cores they don’t do experiments on one and save the other for if the first one blows up

vulcan science academy: this is a species where if you give them two warp cores, they will ask for a third one, immediately plug all three into each other, punch a hole into an alternate universe where humans subscribe to an even more destructive ideological system, fight everyone in it because they’re offended by that, steal their warp cores, plug those together, punch their way back here, then try to turn a nearby sun into a torus because that was what their initial scientific experiment was for and they didn’t want to waste a trip. 

vulcan science academy: they did that last week. we have the write-up right here. it’s getting published in about six hundred scientific journals across two hundred different disciplines because of how many established theories their ridiculous little expedition has just called into question. also, they did turn that sun into a torus, and no one actually knows how. 

vulcan science academy: this is why we let them do whatever the hell they want. 

klingons: …. can we be a part of your federation

Come to think of it, I mean. Look at the “first human warp drive” thing in the movie. That was… Not how Vulcans would have done it.

you know what the best evidence for this is? Deep Space 9 almost never broke down. minor malfunctions that irritated O’Brien to hell and back, sure, but almost none of the truly weird shit that befell Voyager and all the starships Enterprise. what was the weirdest malfunction DS9 ever had? the senior staff getting trapped as holosuite characters in Our Man Bashir, and that was because a human decided to just dump the transporter buffer into the station’s core memory and hope everything would work out somehow, which is a bit like swapping your computer’s hard drive out for a memory card from a PlayStation 2 and expecting to be able to play a game of Spyro the Dragon with your keyboard and mouse.

you know what, I’m not done with this post. let’s talk about the Pegasus. the USS Fucking Pegasus, testbed for the first Starfleet cloaking device. here we have a handful of humans working in secret to develop a cloaking device in violation of a treaty with the Romulans. they’re playing catchup trying to develop a technology other species have had for a century. and what do they do? do they decide to duplicate a Romulan cloaking device precisely, just see if they can match what other species have? nope. they decide, hey, while we’re at it, while we’re building our very first one of these things, just to find out if this is possible, let’s see if we can make this thing phase us out of normal space so we can fly through planets while we’re invisible.

“but why” said the one Vulcan in the room.

“because that would fucking rule” said the humans, high-fiving each other and slamming cans of 24th-century Red Bull.

there must be like twenty different counselling groups for non-human engineering students at Starfleet Academy, and every week in every single one of them someone walks in and starts up with a story like “our assignment was to repair a phaser emitter and my one human classmate built a chronometric-flux toaster that toasts bread after you’ve eaten it.”

Humans get mildly offended by the way they are presented in non-human media.

Like: “Guys, we totally wouldn’t do that!” But this always fails to get much traction, because the authors can always say: “You totally did.”

“That was ONE TIME.” 

There’s that movie where humans invented vaccines by just testing them on people. Or the one about those two humans who invented powered flight by crashing a bunch of prototypes. Or the one about electricity. 

And human historians go, “Oh, uh, this is historically accurate, but also kind of boring.” To which the producers respond: “How is doing THIS CRAZY THING boring????????”

There are entire serieses of horror movies where the premise is “We stopped paying attention to the human and ey found the technology.”

reblog for new meta.  RE that last line: McGuyver. 

“MacGuyver” is the equivalent of Vulcan vintage human horror television.

during orientation at a human college, vulcans are presented with a list of swear words. 

“what is the word ‘fuck’ for,” the innocent young vulcans want to know. “surely there are more logical intensity modifiers.”

“yeah, you’d think so,” say the weary, jaded vulcan professors. “you’d really fucking think so.”

there is a phrase in vulcan for ‘the particular moment you understand what the word ‘fuck’ is for’. 

This is why the Federation is the only organisation to ever stand a chance against the Borg

The Borg can adapt to the brilliant millitary strategies of the Romulan Star Empire, the Klingons and even the cold logical intellectual prowess of the vulcans

The Borg weren’t prepared for a starship captain to lure them into his 50′s noir detective holo-novel and then machine gun them to death with a weapon made out of hard light

This thread is amazing. Even as a baby star trek nerd that only really knows the new movies.

“there is a phrase in vulcan for ‘the particular moment you understand what the word ‘fuck’ is for’.”

I just died

I lost my shit at “toasts your bread after you’ve eaten it”

Oh please please someone write this

the best thing about this post is that the way it’s written - by multiple human authors getting over-excited about ridiculous, wonderful, impossible ideas that ought by rights to be terrifying - is itself proof that we’re like this

aaaaaand @fozmeadows wins the thread.

“One of the serious problems with planning against Federation (especially human) doctrine is that Starfleet officers do not read their manuals nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.”

Klingon: “You are far more technologically advanced than humans.”

Vulcan: “Yes.”

Klingon: “Why have you never fully shared your technology with them? Are you afraid they would turn it against you?”

Vulcan: “Not particularly, no.”

Klingon: “Then they might unknowingly bring disaster on all with any new tech they’re given?”

Vulcan: “They do that every other Tuesday, but they always fix it.”

Klingon: “Then why?”

Vulcan: “Humans are exceptional problem solvers. That is one of their most innate drives, solving problems. And if they don’t have any problems to solve, they create problems. And then they solve them. For now most of their energy is directed towards solving several technological problems. It keeps them happy. It keeps them contained. The day I learned what the word “fuck” is for was the day I learned what humans do when they’re bored.

what?

Skull poop L?

what is this really supposed to mean tho

Dea poo L

Deaadpool advertising is really weird.

Isn’t there one that makes it look like some chick flick too?

Yes

fuckin love all of this nonsense

don’t forget this gem

so apparently ryan reynolds told fox they didnt have the balls to put up the emoji one 

also there is the dick joke one 

and the one they made in response to people misinterpreting the emoji one 

Deadpool movie advertising is best movie advertising 😆

This is even better than the tiny billboards they had for the Antman movie.

lets be real; deadpool’s marketing “team” is just ryan reynolds sitting in his deadpool onesie in his home office at 2am designing posters for the movie.

miles “who’s morales” morales’s biggest weakness is the cover story

peter, lying out of his ass: i was, uh, married to his uncle aaron. he just never let you know

Jefferson, later: Do you think Aaron never told us because Peter’s…

Rio: …Tall

Jefferson: I didn’t think Aaron liked … Tall people.

Jefferson: “But listen: Aaron might have married a white boy just to annoy me, specifically. It’s a thing he would do!”

Rio: “I can’t hear you. I’m asleep.  I have a shift in four hours.”

I really wish there was a way Uncle Aaron lived and came back to meet his “husband” at some point now.

Aaron: …Miles…I love you, and I am proud of you…but you are somehow the smartest and dumbest boy I have ever known.

Miles: Says the man who used his big brain to become a criminal when he could’ve been a black Tony Stark with that gear he made. And thought working for the Kingpin, who everyone knows will throw his minions away like tissues, was a good idea!

Peter: He makes a good point, babe, you did kind of mess up first–

Aaron: Call me babe again and see what happens. I’ll whoop you with a collapsed lung.

All I see is “fake marriage au, but it’s also enemies to lovers”
