what if farts were really just ghosts that got trapped in us escaping through our butts
Farts are actually just the gasses produced by the anaerobes living in your large intestine. When they come across a complex carbohydrate, like beans (very little already digested), they have a “Fermentation Party,” generally made up of sulfur and methane gas.
You’re welcome.
oh my GOD I KNOW WHAT A FART ACTUALLY IS YOU UNFUNNY ASSHOLE
“YOU’RE WELCOME” ARE YOU SERIOUS
I’M NTO WELCOME
YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO WELCOME ME
“Also fuck you. You’ve apparently got no sense of humour either. I was adding a nice little science fact and you decide to throw it in my face. Way to be the overreacting asshole.”
#wow some people #should seriously be kicked in the teeth
you just got real serious about farts
look at your life
look at your choicesSeriously, I just wanted to talk about biology on my fucking blog.
Oh, you’re the op? Doesn’t matter. I wasn’t talking to you. Now kindly go bugger off somewhere.
dude you seriously need to calm the fuck down and think about what this argument is about right now
it was a joking post about ghost being farts
please say that out loud “it was a post about ghost being farts”
it was a post about ghost being farts
and for what it’s worth, it wasn’t the “science” that brought the reaction but the implication that i’m too fucking stupid to know what farts actually are. “you’re welcome” like seriously, dude? you can post about “biology” all you want son but you just seriously physically threatened me over farts.
really think about that ok.
Excuse me, but the correct grammar for that sentence would be, “It was a post about ghosts being farts,” with an “s” at the end of “ghost.”
You’re welcome.
LKMFLAKSDKMLF KELLY like the sad truth is i typed ghost farts and i was like well that’s not scientifically accurate bc i was talking about ghosts BEING farts so i just added being and totally forgot to make ghosts plural and now my life is difficult
YOU’RE HAVING A SERIOUS DEBATE ABOUT GHOSTS BEING FARTS YOU CAN’T AFFORD THESE KINDS OF MIX UPS
oh my god this actually happened
i love tumblr
look what happens when people forget that tumblr is for play-play.
This dude on my Facebook does not know who Kevin Jonas is or even who the Jonas Brothers are.
I can’t even…
Who?
(No, really. I think I heard the name once. Musicians?)
i think they are musicians.
srsly pop music/pop culture is not that big a deal after high school, unless you want it to be :/
As someone who is completely obsessed with the music business, I live, eat, and breathe pop culture. I’m just so obsessed I don’t see how anyone can not keep up with it.
one time a friend of mine spent like fifty bucks on a piece of ‘genuine citrine’ that was actually just amethyst that had been heat-treated. i never got done teasing him for that—i mean, what kind of person can’t even tell the difference between natural citrine and baked amethyst?

i’m pretty sure like 99% of people who read/watch soul eater have no idea that kim diehl’s name means anything. or sid barrett’s, for that matter.
or kilik’s “aphex twin” attack.
okubo’s first comic had a proto-crona named “emine” (-m). now that is current!
these bands have been around waaaaay longer than the jonas bros, who i seem to recall as being a sort of Hannah Montana analog, but i could be wrong.

also man would you look at the puzzle pieces in that pattern there, wtf
so misshapen
and the colors are kind of like bargain basement plastic preschool furniture colors
what, do we not rate an actual spectrum?
or did whoever stuck knobs on squares all halfassy like that also not know that the word ‘spectrum’ can refer to a rainbow as well as like
the autism spectrum
and that we like colors to be arranged in order
actually while i’m asking rhetorical questions did anyone associated with the making of this gif know jack shit about autism at all
inquiring sperglords want to know
the colors are red, blue, yellow and teal—representing the three primary colors and cutting out all need for a fully represented and nuanced spectrum.
the teal is a token minority, brought on board for a photo op after being carefully screened before test groups to make sure it’s not upsetting or offensive in any way. it exists to perpetuate the public image of red, blue and yellow so that they can continue to make money (green, not pictured).
Sign I am/was Autistic:
You know when people say “Close your eyes and imagine ________?” Well, I never had to close my eyes to picture something. I was always the only one in the group sitting with my eyes open because I could see whatever the thing was that we were supposed to be imagining.
Wait
Do allistics actually have to close their eyes?
Yeah. An NT friend of mine said he thinks in words.
That seems to be independent. I’m autistic, but think almost entirely in words; I can visualize some kinds of things, but not all. I know at least one non-autistic who thinks entirely in pictures.
closing your eyes to visualize is not a mark of the neurotypical, it’s a filtering behavior. cutting off your vision blocks external stimuli. i have to close my eyes sometimes to preserve the image of something i’ve just seen so i can process it. rummaging around in a bag with my hands? close my eyes so i can see the items inside by touch.
i think in sound clips/other people’s voices when dealing with memories of words, but i also visualize a lot of my thoughts. when i was at the height of my library career, folks would ask me the author or DD number of a book i’d shelved at some point, and i could shut my eyes, call up the image of the cover, and read the name or the number off the spine. that was boss.
and utterly useless outside of my job, le sigh.
This is so true. I love this.
I am a little confused. “Living with this disorder” makes it sound like there’s something horrible about being me, and if only I could be someone else I’d be happy.
didn’t you know? You ought to be very sad that you Have This Condition, and wish to Raise Awareness thereof. Because, like, nobody else knows that autism is a thing that exists and people have varying versions of it.
I’m sort of wondering when we myopics get our ribbon. RAISE AWARENESS OF SHITTY VISION, man.
i love puzzles. i sperg out on them like a motherfucker when i can (not as often as i used to, though). puzzles are a perfect metaphor for life—you figure shit out a bit at a time until bam, picture of a bunch of technicolor whales frolicking in space.
making me the puzzle piece is just lame. symbolism got away from you there, bub.
ps - the brightness of the ribbon represents the three primary colors, because the full spectrum is too scary for certain motherfuckers, plus teal, because teal is inexplicable by any natural means as a color, and does what it wants.
Seeking Answers from the Homestuck Community
I’m writing about the Homestuck fandom, its growth, and the Homestuck Kickstarter’s success, as examined through the lens of Malcolm Gladwell’s book,The Tipping Point.
The trouble is, as the fandom is spread far and wide across the internet, it’s hard for me to get much information about when and why people joined the Homestuck ranks.
It would be a tremendous help to me (and my grade!) if you could take a moment to reply to one or more of the questions below, either by reblogging with a comment so other homestucks can see, or dropping a note in my ask box.
- About how long have you been reading Homestuck/been part of the Homestuck fandom?
- What caused you to start reading Homestuck?
- What was your initial reaction to Homestuck? Has that reaction changed over time?
Thank you in advance to anyone kind enough to reply!
First read in 2010 because of the Something Awful avatar army, but I thought I had the wrong comic because of the art style and seemingly different genre, and wandered off after 3 pages or so.
Started reading for real in March of 2011, a day or two before Seer: Descend. Someone posted a comment on my LJ using a Feferi icon and I liked the style, and I was ill and bored and had nothing better to do, so this time I stuck with it.
Initial reaction: dry amusement, warming as the sylladex shenanigans increased. Bad jokes and facepalming incidents continued to draw me in. I remember Safe: Level up for slaying the Imp was the page where I said yeah, ok, this is the best webcomic I have ever read in my life.
Over time my reactions have mainly gone from “this is some awesome goofy shit” to “this is some awesome goofy shit but oh god who will die next”.
this comic turned me into a fanfic writer and a tumblr user. and then i turned around and recruited every. single. person. i. know. so i would have people to sperg out about the updates with.
it was a cold couple of weeks though, waiting for my first converts to catch up. i spent them wandering the web, crying like la llorona for my unstoppable feels.
Okay, new theory…
The Fucking Ugly Stuffed Bee is a juju.
Think about it.
It always exists and there is a version of it in every universe.
Clearly it is a thing of great power and great evil.
And has about as much creep factor as Lil’Cal.
Ergo -> Juju
let’s just send this back around
I buried Penny today.
BEST FUCKIN CAT RIGHT HERE, FYI. JUST LOOK AT HER:
SOFT LITTLE PROSPIT-DREAMER <3
UPDATE
guys i’m scared.
i didn’t find vr*ska to be completely unbearable in this update. there wasn’t even hardly any testicular agony upon reading her dialoglog.
thank fucking god she seems to have grown up a little bitam i coming down with vriscooties? WILL I SOON BE ONE OF THE VRISKERATI????????EDIT: i’ll trust her motivations when the comic is over and not a minute before, right now i’m mostly just boggling at the lack of annoyingness.
Yeah, same. It’s like, wow, she was pretty tolerable and actually kind of funny and waaaait a minute, there. But then again, her breezy dismissal of John’s feelings and getting on Tavros’s case was all Vriska, so I have faith that she will continue to be terrible. (UUUUUGH.)
what if she follows a real life human pattern and all this new sophistication means is that she has learned how to not telescope her moves? a more adept mind molester who thinks she knows everything and that she’s totally over making mistakes. we’d have no defense left against her dumbfuckery.
that would be pretty damn horrifying. we’d have to pray for her to join lord english, try some stupid bullshit to win the fight for him, at which point she’d roll snake eyes eightfold and OHK the end boss while all the goodies stand around in slack-jawed amazement at the sight of Andrew Hussie’s lips descending from Heaven to kiss him on the skull and whisper “Calliope. <3”
but i digress.
ominous man. really ominous.

YAY~! It’s the weekend, which means:
I got to work on cosplay today!
I know I have paint on my face, and I’m pretty sure I have it in at least one ear. I’m only maybe 25% done…
…and I’ve been either laying tape, mixing paint, and painting all day. 14 hours. ::flops over::
Galley’s blood color was difficult to mix—it’s an interesting shade of yellow-green, but my printer won’t agree with either computer screen! One ref image came out kind of olive-brown and the other one came out somewhere in the vicinity of lime. I just gave up and just mixed my own shade of Gemini goldblood. Thanks to the black background and the lighting in my apartment this time of night/morning, it looks super-bright. It’ll look less so if I decide to dirty it up some—still debating whether I want to be dirty and beat-up or clean and beat-up.
This is a close-up of the pattern-mapping I did a while back ago—I can’t draw people correctly so I just googled a person wearing a black zentai, chose a shot with the right pose, and drew all over the printout. (Note to self: In the future—if I ever have to do this again, that is—I must remember to turn my SafeSearch back on when searching for zentai reference pics. There is a lot of NOPE under that keyword.)
I kind of had to wing the part from the crotch on down because there aren’t any drawings detailing the lower part of the suit the same way. I started on the left side first and just kind of fudged it based on the patterns in the torso, then I changed up and decided to repeat the patterning on the sleeves for the other leg. Now I’m kind of torn whether I should do both legs like the sleeves or go with the way it is on paper… ?
For the back I…honestly forgot about that part until I started painting (eheheheh PTL). I mean, I obviously have to either reverse the pattern or make something up again. I keep bouncing back and forth about it. Fortunately I gave myself lots of time to work it out.
It’s looking so damn pretty right now! I’m probably gonna cry when it comes time to shred this thing. I definitely have to get photos in it during the short time it’s in pristine condition.
oh my god. how did i not see this before.
you freehanded the legs *perfectly*. i hadn’t gotten around to drawing the full suit yet but i think i will just canonize your leg patterns, if you don’t mind?
*continues to watch this awesome process*
