notallfay:

These are art in themselves, in a some of them point out what lockdown was like for us, they’re expressed themselves in a really cool way. But I think these are going to be talked about in the future.

why don’t people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?

4b06860586f2fca82d6ad43b454d0e56c8082aef

I’m gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail

​

aliiiiiiice:

everyone else is like “oh we gotta stay inside the most secure places possible and never leave” and I’ll be storming through the wastelands in my bloodstained suit of armor, blasting the Doom (2016) OST and plowing my way through waves of the undead. one of them tries to bite me but his shitty rotting teeth don’t even leave a dent in my armor before I turn his head into paste. I’ll be unstoppable until I die of dehydration or something like an idiot

​

earlgraytay:

this goes along with my other pet peeve about zombie apocalypse stories, namely: why does no one ever think to ride a bike?

bikes are quiet- if the zombies react to loud noises, they won’t hear you on a bike the way they might hear you in a car. bikes don’t need gas, meaning you won’t be stranded if you run out. bikes are much, much easier to maintain than a car- there’s no computer that can short out, no fiddly engine bits that could kill you if you mess with them wrong. you can learn how to maintain a bike with a couple weeks’ worth of classes. almost every adult knows how to ride a bike, and without cars on the road, it’d be much safer to do.

what i’m saying is

American author Mark Twain (b. 1835) lurches from his grave only to give you a massive thumbs up and die again

​

elodieunderglass:

Mark Twain essentially invented the genre of a bystander sent into a time-travel sci-fi plot just to get someone to draw this image for him. And today we can simply search for such a picture. It is a time of wonders

whetstonefires:

The thing is that the most interesting and novel invention of the MCU is a universe where billions of people turned into dust and then were physically reconstituted on the spot five years later, in a world that had just barely adapted to their absence.

That is wild. That is intense! That is a series of pathos-ridden emotionally complex doorstoppers waiting to happen. Half the entire world! All dead! And somehow we coped with that! And now we have to cope with them all being back?

A whole street of empty houses–surely not everyone there became ash. Some of them moved to better places, now opened by the mass mortality. Some of them died afterward. Who will live there now? Even if inheritances are reversed by resurrection, surely leases aren’t renewed. What the fuck happens to everyone who remarried?

What happens to the children snapped back to a world where their parents didn’t survive, or the reverse?

But they had to then hastily smooth over this utterly batshit sci-fi premise and get the world mostly back to normal working order as rapidly as possible, without too much emphasis on how literally every person in existence has been placed in a mason jar by a narcissist and shaken twice in five years.

So they could get on with more superhero whack-blam business, which is customarily done against a background of Normality.

This is, tragically, the most Comics thing these movies have ever done.

It is beyond satire that they did this immediately before and during a worldwide pandemic that everyone was pressured to smooth over and ‘return to normal’ about within 2 years if not sooner.

I’m still bummed She-Hulk wasn’t “Law & Order: MCU” featuring such disputes as

  • A dog’s owner is snapped and someone else adopts it. Now it’s five years later and the owner wants the dog back.
  • A baby’s parents are snapped and someone else adopts it. Now its’ five years later and the kid is now 6. Absolutely fucking devastating custody dispute ensues.
  • All the snapped people were legally declared dead and their remaining next of kin got their assets. Now some of them are demanding their money back, but their heirs already spent it.
  • All the snapped people were not legally declared dead, and life insurance companies are still claiming that some people who actually died were snapped so that they don’t have to pay out.
  • These senators were elected to a 6 year term but they only got to serve one of them before blipping. They think they should get to serve the next five years.
  • School funding is based on enrollment, and was thus slashed when there was only half the student population. Now everyone is back midyear and there isn’t enough funding, and parents are suing.

oh man i had a notion ages ago to start doing like an october-ish Event of getting a bunch of people together to get flu shots and donuts (or something else tasty idk) and I forgot about it til today

I think if getting yearly vaccines was more of a fun social event it’d be a lot easier to do it promptly

and it’s like– if you have a reaction and the vaccine(s) end up making you feel sick the next couple days, well, at least you just got some fun social in right beforehand!

homunculus-argument:

A fantasy book where many characters have dramatic High Fantasy epithets, but for incredibly non-dramatic reasons.

An adventurer known as The Herald of Dawn, but it’s because she tends to wake up naturally at 4 or 5 am and every single fucking time wakes up the whole damn camp before sunrise by banging pots and pans together while making herself breakfast.

A nobleman known as The Lord of Shadows, but it’s because his land is shaded from all sides by cliffs and mountains and all the other nobility are roasting this guy for not being able to grow or farm anything on his shitty, shady, no-sunshine-having estates.

A courtesan known as The Emerald of [location], but it’s because the county she was born in is known for manufacturing forged jewels and gemstones, and so far she is the fakest pretty thing to ever come from there.

An assassin known as The Kiss of Death, but it’s because he has somehow acquired every single known and documented STD in his mouth.

The Dark Huntress, named so to distinguish her from The Blonde Huntress.

A prince known as The Raven Prince, but it’s because he’s autistic and can and WILL tell you everything that is known about ravens, for five hours straight.

The Fallen King, named for falling off his horse, and deciding to build his kingdom there (because his horse ran off).

The Chosen One, ruler of a democratic state

mxmarkargent asked: i think it was you who mentioned something here or on twitter about using a desiccant pack in your respirator to tackle moisture buildup, did you ever get to try that out and if so what were the results?

~ Brin ~ Leave a comment

3liza:

it works excellently, i highly recommend it. buy a fresh pack of dessicant sachets from Amazon or somewhere and use double sided tape or blutack or whatever to stick them to the inside of the respirator in a place that’s out of the way of your mouth so they don’t bug you. carry extra packets if you go somewhere so you can swap them out if they get saturated. respiration volume and therefore mask wetness is usually roughly correlated to body size, small people usually will go through packets more slowly but that’s not a hard n fast rule. you can dry out wet packets in the oven and reuse them indefinitely if you want to.
