Things that strike a chord
Right now I like...
Hannibal, Buffy, Maggie Stiefvater, autumn, and blasting Carol King in the car on the way to work

Post reblogged from Rice on concrete (scattered.)
“you can’t forget your mother tongue” okay but have you considered bilinguals and polyglots whose first language isn’t english and whose development during adolescence was shaped by consuming content and media only in english and have ever since viewed that second language, foreign to their own, as a better outlet for their emotions and thoughts? as Yiyun Li said “it is hard to feel in an adopted language, yet impossible in my native language.”

“Oh, Martin saw Jon be a complete mess of a human being and thought I can fix him and that was the reason his crush started”
you fools. you absolute circus clowns. you avatars of pure silliness.
Martin is EXACTLY as unhinged as Jon even before they ever meet each other, and becomes even more so after we meet him. Behold:
List of Reasons why Martin Kartin Blackwood is just as (if not more) unhinged than his avatar-of-all-evil-knowledge-boyfriend:
- in order to get a job, he lied on his CV. Not too bad, fuck academic elitism, etc, but this man. claimed to have a very specific degree in a very specific field. and then he got hired. because of that degree
- and no one noticed. for ten whole years.
- (except the head of the institute, which doesn’t count bc he’s an evil mind reading bastard)
- Also claimed to be like ten years older than he really was (him and jon share this unhinged fun fact which is fuckin wild)
- ALSO also didn’t have a middle name so just kinda. gave himself a middle initial. for funsies.
- let a dog into a building bc it tricked him with its cute face
- but also carried out a con for months on an avatar of an evil fear god by just. frowning and nodding.
- could have been an avatar of manipulation and control, instead decided to be in love. icon.
- actually, could have been an avatar of three different fear gods. said no thanks I will be in love instead ty
- boss is specifically an asshole to him. decides to fall in love anyway.
- had to be told to put his hands in his pockets so he would stop touching plastic explosives
- wanted to kill an old man bc one time that old man kind of threatened to throw him off a rollercoaster
- after being trapped in his flat for three weeks by a bug lady, brought a jar full of her bugs with him back to work to prove a point
- willing to damn an unknowable number of other realities
- met himself. he was an asshole. to himself.
- “sorry elias I can’t hear you there’s a door in the way”
- decided with no evidence that he was going to take his bf on a hiking trip and figure out a way to shove the fear gods back into their little box
- has dreams of making out with his bf over their ex-boss’s corpse
- “Hey, Elias! J o n a h M a g n u s !!!!! …. OI DICKHEAD”
- big strong rowing arms
- (that’s not unhinged i just wanted everyone to remember that martin has big strong arms good for rowing and giving hugs)
- thinks tea is cure to all emotional ills
- certainly has a large fun patterned jumper collection at home
- also advocates that he and his bf “get their murder on”
- stole a possibly evil tape recorder to record poetry bc lo-fi vibes
- spent several months talking to tape recorders more than humans
- wants his bf to do a murder on a hot death man bc he was jealous

Video reblogged from A cure manifactsansibs
The Gimli Glider is one of those stories where every aspect sounds more fake than the last and yet it all actually happened.
-A passenger plane was underloaded with fuel because Canada had just converted to the metric system and everyone supposed to double check their numbers got it wrong.
-When the plane ran out of fuel they were too far away to make it to an in-service airport and had to head towards the Gimli military base. Which was shuttered.
-They were coming in to fast due to a lack of flaps control and had to perform a series of slips (as shown in the video above) to slow down, basically drifting a giant passenger plane.
-As they come down they realized that just because Gimli’s been decommissioned doesn’t mean it’s abandoned because a bunch of people are having drag races on the runway they’re about to need.
-Despite everything they managed to land safely and no one was killed or even hurt which is why it’s one of the best air disasters to meme on.The Wikipedia page on this is fantastic and my favorite line from it is “Flying with all engines out was never expected to occur, so it had never been covered in training.”
Nice

Post reblogged from come on, clotpole!
Considering the declining retention rate I don’t feel like they have the room to lose 20 years of Catholics, pope should just right them a note to give to St. Peter saying they’re excused
what about the people who were baptised by him and then died in the intervening 20 years? do their families just have to accept that their loved one is going to hell because some dude fucked up the paperwork?
The funniest outcome I have seen from this whole issue is a handful of priests have come forward also stating they used “We”
THEN a whole different priest saw his own baptism video and saw his OWN baptism was done wrong as well so he isn’t technically baptized….which to be a priest you have to be baptized, so he isn’t even a real priest any more!
this is a whole fucking thing going back to the age of thomas aquinas and there’s been more than one war fought at least a bit about it. quad mus sumit, et cetera
certainly the most important thing Jesus said is that you have to use the exact words when you perform ritual actions or they don’t work and you go to hell

ALTJonathan Sims – season 3 hunted and abducted
Jon at his most casual.
———
[image description: We see Jon in profile as he is leaning forward, elbows on a metal railing, holding a hand-rolled cigarette in his right hand and blowing smoke from his mouth. He wears a muddy green t-shirt. His dark brown hair is almost at shoulder lenth and has many grey strands. His left hand is bandaged up to its wrist and there is the hint of a big, white bandaid on the front of his neck. his arm and his face dappeled with many small round scars.] -

Hello, I just learnt what “layer type” and “overlay” mean, also I only listened to two and a half hours of cow sounds before I felt they were coming for me and got terrified.
Click for better quality, I beg you.

drivenalphabitchpaulmccartney:
does anyone have that one painting with the ghosts standing in the water?
like theyre in the water and they’re staring off to the side and there’s something so very wrong about it and they’re bending over and trailing along like deer in the headlights but you can’t see what they’re staring at which might make it even scarier
like this
beach day beach day
by the way, the artist is olivia steen (website linked above) and apparently, her other works are just as breathtakingly eerie
look at this!!! it’s cool as hell!!
I thought the last one was very familiar to me and turns out it’s painted over a photo of john lennon !
and after looking at the first one again it is also, a beatle photo
Not going to lie the first picture like the ghost on the water It kinda is referenced on the one picture where the Beatles are in Miami for the Help! shooting I dont have the picture but it really looks like! Especially the bending ghost resembles Ringo and The other Picture where the ghost is sitting down I also remember so much remember that that picture is Brian Epstein sitting I also don’t have the picture cause I cant fine IT aaaaa HAHAH
Now THIS is some fucking forbidden fandom lore lmao
ETA THIS IS THE ONE!!!!
