Kit Kats are made of Kit Kats. The manufacturers leave no Kit Kat uneaten, so every reject is mashed into a paste that’s used to fill the wafers. Because every imperfect Kit Kat was already filled with other imperfect Kit Kats, and some of the Kit Kats they’ll fill will also be rejected, every time you eat a Kit Kat, you’re basically eating layers of Kit Kats within Kit Kats within Kit Kats.

Well, deathclawmusings on their blog both called!! Someone!! The!! N-word!! And said they hated the LGBT community so they’re officially cancelled and I deleted their story I just published and will delete all their other shit off this blog when I can.

Receipts for anyone who wants them. Fuck this person.

Found some more! Man this guy doesn’t give up.

I just went to block them and their blog is riddled with red flags that point to them being a bigot and nothing else. They used the n word, they reblogged post saying that gay people are annoying for mentioning that they are gay and wearing rainbow stuff, they said the word r*tard and there’s probably a lot more I didn’t stick around to see. They are racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist and just a bad person all around so please block their stupid ass.

Tagging everyone I follow from the terato community so that they are aware of this and can alert their followers

@teradoration @terato-love @terato-fuckor @tera-art @the-ink-brothers @carbonoid-nsfw @somanyfangs @itsthemonsterbin @advanced-teratophilia @monsters-withbenefits @monster–boyfriend @fangs-and-talons @knotyourboyfriend @monster-lovers-anonymous @knotyourboyfriend @morningterato @kaibuntsu @ahnon-art @always-a-slut-for-dragons @outinthedark @fangsandfuckery @werewoof-boyfriend @lekink @fangedknight @canned-teeth @monstrous-suggestion @dragonafterdusk

To all my followers: We’ve ended up with this piece of trash in the community. Happens in the best communities I’m afraid. Luckily, like most racists, they’re terrible at holding their shit-filled personalities back for long.

Another coward that hides behind “lol u triggered???”

And like all self-proclaimed trolls, their blog’s full of blatant racism that only becomes a “joke” on the posts that get called out.

Here he is in his racist safe space:

Time to take out the trash.

Stay safe my loves. I love you all, all my followers of colour, my immigrant followers, my queer, lesbian, gay, bi, pan, trans, ace, and intersex followers, my disabled follwers, neurodiverse followers, my mad and mentally ill followers, my freaks, my weirdos, my outcasts. What I’ve seen of what you go through breaks my heart. Your rage sustains me. And your compassion gives me hope for the future.

This blog is run by a mad, neurodiverse, dyke witch. I am unable to check every blog I reblog from. But please, if I promote something made by a bigot, never be afraid to send me the reciepts. Its never intentional, and I always want to know.

This isn’t my politics blog but I want to be perfectly queer: To any racists, bigots, nazis, alt-righters, Trump supporters, right-wing nuts, or even just anyone who thinks this post is too harsh/I should stick to reblogging monsters.

FUCK YOU

You aren’t welcome here.

Coyote Peterson met a young ocelot in the jungle. This ocelittle frequents tourist trails in a wildlife park, and so it’s accustomed to people and doesn’t see them as a threat.

It fiercely “attacked” him.

It stole his socks.

It picked a fight with a crab.

You should watch all of these. But especially the crab one.

You’re welcome.

He is so clearly enchanted with her even when she’s chewing on his head. It’s wonderful.

What a fantastic world we live in!!!

I mean, realistically, though, Solas should be downright terrible at wilderness survival.

He’s woken up to an ecosystem that, between time passing and the impact of the Veil, is fundamentally different from the one he developed the vast majority of his practical skills in. Any survival expert can tell you that not knowing the region, the plants or terrain or wildlife’s behaviour, puts you at a huge disadvantage for this kind of a thing. Considering that Solas has only been awake for a year pre-Inquisition, and that during that time he was devoting a lot of his efforts towards manipulating Corypheus and just figuring out what the general hell was going on, I don’t think even he would have a lot of time to familiarize himself with all the changes to the regional flora and fauna.

Ever since that thought occurred to me, all I can think of now is Solas nearly eating raw berries that require special prep to not be poisonous (because he knows these berries go in pies, so logically, he thinks they’re safe). Solas forgetting that he can’t just ask spirits for directions when he’s lost and wandering way the hell off from the rest of the group with no means of finding his way back. Solas trying to cast a rain-repelling charm that would ordinarily last for 24 hours and instead only keeps up for fifteen minutes, and leaves him feeling unreasonably exhausted. Solas not knowing what the fuck to do about blisters because he’s so used to his ambient magic just… protecting his feet entirely.

(Solas also having no idea what to do when he eats something slightly off and gets wicked diarrhea, sitting in the bush wondering if he’s facing the ignoble end of shitting himself to death as he tries to reason out the right healing spells that could work…)

Lavellan just looking at this man and squinting because somehow he has ostensibly survived to adulthood while living in the wilderness, mostly on his own, but damned if she can see how.

While this is cute and funny, I lowkey disagree. 

Even if the the ecosystem has changed since he was last awake, the basics of wilderness is the same no matter what environment you are in. And I don’t think he was ever clueless about this. 

I believe he used to be a general, a leader, from his Trespasser speech (generals became trusted elders became kings became gods…). And I think a good general, someone who has been leading many men, knows how to get down in the dirt with them. And this includes some wilderness survival, some roughing it. 

Furthermore, Solas also led a rebellion. Don’t tell me this was easy, don’t tell me this didn’t include hiding and using the wilderness at times. 

Even if these assumptions are wrong, Solas is very intelligent, very controlled and in many ways very careful. He has ways of learning things, from observing, from the fade, and he has. He would not be picking the wrong berries. 

I don’t think his magic is useless or that he forgets either. He is perfectly able to use a sunburn spell, so why would he be ‘surprised’ about the length of a spell? He understands magic, theoretically and intuitively, even more so with the veil up, in my opinion. 

Lastly. His avatar is a freaking wolf. Don’t tell me a wolf doesn’t know how to survive in the wilds. 

It seems I must cheerfully defend my conclusions here!

*cracks knuckles*

Even if the the ecosystem has changed since he was last awake, the basics of wilderness is the same no matter what environment you are in. And I don’t think he was ever clueless about this.

The basics of desert survival are very different from the basics of rainforest survival. The basis of arctic tundra survival are very different from the basics of jungle island survival. People who are wilderness experts in Australia often hit massive road bumps when they come up to Northern Canada (firsthand witness to that). And I imagine the reverse is true too. And these are people who also make a point of knowing stuff, who’ve had access to info about the environment here for way longer than just a year of their life.

Solas comes from a world where magic is so interwoven with reality, spirits are as common a sight in a forest as animals or trees. You can’t tell me that isn’t going to have a major impact on the environment, or his assumptions on how to navigate it. 

Furthermore, Solas also led a rebellion. Don’t tell me this was easy, don’t tell me this didn’t include hiding and using the wilderness at times.

Where did I say that he had an easy time of that, or that he didn’t know a ton about wilderness survival in his own pre-Veil time? 

Listen, sometimes people make especially weird mistakes because they’re experts in a field, and they’ve just moved to something slightly left of that. It’s like how you’re more liable to bump into furniture if everyone just moves stuff in your house two inches to the right, than if you enter a completely new building. Habits and deeply-ingrained assumptions can and will mess you up, because you already think you know what’s going on, and therefore you make mistakes that you wouldn’t have if you were coming to the whole thing fresh.

It’s been at minimum more than 2,000 years since Solas was actually walking around the world. We’re giving him a lot of leeway just assuming he doesn’t die from the bacteria in most of the food, to be honest.

I don’t think his magic is useless or that he forgets either. He is perfectly able to use a sunburn spell, so why would he be ‘surprised’ about the length of a spell? He understands magic, theoretically and intuitively, even more so with the veil up, in my opinion.

His magic’s not useless, but most evidence points to it being severely depleted until after he kills Flemeth. Solas accidentally sets his own coattails on fire. Canonically. He also forgot to bring water with him to a desert. Canonically. So far as we know, the guy has never actually tried to live in a post-Veil world, just sleep through it. And he was notably shocked and appalled by the state of the world he woke up to. So by my interpretation, he’s brilliant at magic, but there’s still a vast gulf between ‘brilliant’ and ‘infallible’. 

Lastly. His avatar is a freaking wolf. Don’t tell me a wolf doesn’t know how to survive in the wilds.

If you take a wolf and release it into an environment it’s never been in before, it will probably die within a year. ‘The wilds’ is not one big nebulous space. Solas is doing amazingly, all things considered, but what I’m trying to say is that based on the evidence available, ‘amazing’ for his situation is ‘not dying altogether’. Not ‘actually being expert level at surviving in a world he’s never really tried to live in before’.

The real wilderness survival experts here are the Dalish, who’ve had thousands of years to adapt to their particular surroundings. So it’s especially amusing to me to imagine the vast gulf of difference between Solas’ improvised survival skills, and what Lavellan would actually consider ‘expert wilderness navigation’.

I mean, he’s not quite a cloistered Circle mage when it comes to these things, but there are probably more than a few gaps in his claims of having lived the past 10+ years just wandering the current-day wilds of Thedas on his own.

I spent a good 10 mins trying to find the original post but I wanted to play monster hunter. @feynites pls enjoy!

The Sea Women of South Korea

photographs by Hyung S. Kim

“For hundreds of years, women in the South Korean island province of Jeju have made their living harvesting seafood by hand from the ocean floor. Known as haenyeo, or sea women, they use no breathing equipment, although a typical dive might last around two minutes and take them as deep as ten metres underwater. Wearing old-fashioned headlight-shaped scuba masks, most dive with lead weights strapped around their waists to help them sink faster. A round flotation device called a tewak, about the size of a basketball, sits at the surface of the water with a net hanging beneath it to collect the harvest. Some use a sharp tool to dig conch, abalone, and other creatures from the crevices on the seafloor.

“For me, the photos of the haenyeo reflect and overlap with the images I have of my mother and grandmother,” Kim says. “They are shown exactly as they are, tired and breathless. But, at the same time, they embody incredible mental and physical stamina, as the work itself is so dangerous; every day they cross the fine line between life and death. I wanted to capture this extreme duality of the women: their utmost strength combined with human fragility.” ”
