Aren’t people who get married embarrassed at their wedding? I would be so embarrassed at everyone looking at me and listening to me talk about how much I love the other person. I’m gonna turn to them and say why don’t you all mind your own business
the term “edgelord” implies the existence of an entire hierarchical structure of edgenobility. there ought to be like, edgedukes and edgeviscounts running around. edgesquires. edgecomtessas.
Edgemarquis
Hah!
Historically, the distinction between a count and a marquis is that a marquis’ domain lies at the border of the kingdom, and is thus more likely to be attacked by hostile forces. This position of elevated trust is why a marquis traditionally outranks a count.
Now, the domain of a marquis is called a “march”, derived from the Old French marche (”border, boundary”), and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European mereg, which translates as… “edge”.
A marquis, then, is a literal edge-lord; i.e., lord of an “edge”, or border domain.
We must therefore conclude that an edgemarquis is twice as edgy as other edgelords.
Person A owns a flower shop and person B comes storming in one day, slaps 20 bucks on the counter and says “How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower?”

MY TIME HAS COME
so you’d need a bouquet of geraniums (stupidity), foxglove (insincerity), meadowsweet (uselessness), yellow carnations (you have disappointed me), and orange lilies (hatred). it would be quite striking! and full of loathing.
im no Florist but I thought I’d try my hand at such a beautiful gift of absolute loathing

I, like many of you, love coffee. I decided to look into coffee drinking habits of various countries. Here is what I found. This information was obtained from the Huffingtonpost.
The Germans know how to warm up a cup of coffee: sneak two ounces of rum in it. Mix dark coffee, rum and sugar to taste, and top it with whipped cream.
This decadent coffee is more like a full-on dessert: beat two egg yolks with a half teaspoon each of condensed milk, honey and vanilla extract until fluffy. Pour into a cup and top with hot black Vietnamese coffee. The egg mixture will float to the top, where you can spoon it into your mouth or drink right away.
This popular Spanish coffee is for those who like it sweet. Mix equal parts strong coffee with sweetened condensed milk.
Turkey: Turkish Coffee

It’s said every
Turkish family has its own recipe for this tradition. Super-finely
ground coffee is brewed in a copper pot called a cezve, sweetened and boiled several times over heat. It’s kind of complicated, but well worth the work.
Traditional cafe au laits are essentially equal parts brewed coffee and steamed milk. To spice it up, we like to add chicory, like they do at New Orleans’ Cafe du Monde.
Austria: Kaisermelange

The kaisermelange (or “emperor’s blend”) is popular Austrian way of drinking dark coffee, served with an egg yolk, sugar and cognac. Some people blend the yolk with sugar and maybe a little milk.
We’re doing it live guys, right here, right now, because my Tumblr experience has been a low-level trash fire for months and at this point I’m getting high-level exasperated. Because to be in any fandom, to be safe in any fandom, there is a golden fucking rule we all need to live by:
There is a line between fiction and reality.
There is a line between fiction and reality.
There is a line between fiction and reality.
That isn’t to say that fiction can’t affect your reality. It’s perfectly reasonable to read a work of fiction and feel inspired by it - or afraid of it. It’s reasonable to say “my god, that’s too close to home, I can never read again”. It is NOT reasonable to say that a work of fiction is responsible for your behavior in real life. You are a human being. You are the star in charge of your destiny. It’s you. If you read a murder mystery and learn how to stab people with casino chips, it’s your responsibility not to become Serial Poker.
There is a line between fiction and reality.
Likewise, reality can absolutely affect fiction. Humans write stories for all kinds of reasons. To teach. To inspire. To caution. To feel heard. There will be times where some authors write things that horrify you, and it may not be a good story for you to read. That does not mean it’s not good for someone. It does not mean an author is evil for producing it. Again, ideas versus actions: if I write a murder mystery, I killed a couple pens. I didn’t stab anybody and leave them on a craps table.
There. is a line.
And lastly, there’s nothing saying fiction can’t be criticized. You can talk about themes in a work that are fucked up or unrealistic; you can even talk about how it was a bad story for you personally to read. But you cannot jump from reading a fictional work to divining that an author does these things in real life. I got some dark places in me, yeah. We all got some dark places in our heads. But I am not a god, and my imagination does not truly turn the floor to lava. If my fic burns you, then please - leave me concrit, or even just protect yourself by unfollowing or clicking the back button. I am not obligated to write what is safe for you. You are not obligated to pay attention to me.
There is a line between fiction and reality, and it’s everyone’s job to respect it.
You know Godwinning, right? I’ve long wanted fandom to adopt a similar rebuttal to all these “this darkfic makes you evil” things, a simple term with which we could encapsulate everything that’s said above. And I’ve come up with a term for it that I’ve been championing for a long time, and that’s…
The Agatha Christie Rule.
As in Agatha Christie. The Queen of Murder. She looks pretty evil, right? If she knew so much about poison and different ways of killing people, she must’ve had a backyard full of bodies, right?
Nope. She didn’t. The body count in her books is absolutely ridiculous, but she wasn’t a murderer. The same way Stephen King isn’t possessed by supernatural powers. Probably.
So, basically, can this be a thing? That whenever you’re too tired to dig out all the posts like these to point out to the young and the impressionable that yes, it is in fact, possible to read and/or write evil dark murderous wicked fiction and not be an evil dark murderous wicked person–you just call “Agatha.”
Say it with me. “Agatha.”
Simple as that.
The fact that any of this needs to be said is just fuckin sad.
It sorta ties into “the umbridge effect” people came up with a while ago, Where people who are obsessed with everything being light and fluffy and kind are usually the ones with the worst skeletons in their closet. Especially when they demonise people for being into what they consider unethical or immoral.
Liking bad stuff in a fictional setting doesn’t make you a bad person. Treating people badly over fictional happenings does.
imagine you getting a job at a gamestop and your manager is the type of guy to chug a whole monster energy drink and then say “haha level up!” and he does that every day.

GUYS. In the promotional art of Death Stranding we can see Norman Reedus’ character wearing multiple dog tags. Two of these read out equations. What do these equations have in common? Black Holes.
One of these is the Schwarzschild Metric. It’s related to black holes. It describes gravitational fields outside of spherical masses or the assumption that electric charges of mass and momentum of the mass are all zero before calculating the stability of a black hole.
The schwarzschild black hole is a black hole that has no charge or angular momentum and is surrounded by an event horizon. Though the equation itself relates directly more to the Schwarzschild radius, which is the maximum radius of a really fucking big thing which the escape velocity reaches the highest thingy it can. (See, the speed of light).
Basically there’s some crazy ass space/time shit going on here This could be the most scientific way ever to explain “The light will escape from the darkness”.
The other equation looks like the Dirac equation, which relates to waves in quantum mechanics and particle physics. It usually covers the hydrogen spectrum. Considering antihydrogens are the most presumed type of element that would be used for the development of the warp drive, this could only go into further confirmation this is all in relation to wormholes and black holes.
Even with all of this involved, it’s still a mystery what the trailer could really be trying to portray. The baby/fetus in the trailer could very well represent himself, considering the space/time fuckery possibly involved. The C-section looking scar on his stomach could very well be something to do with himself as a variable.
First my mom’s birthday had to be postponed because we all had work, then again last night because my dad had to go to the hospital for possibly a heart attack. Her cake has been made for three days hahaha.
I must be in the minority of people who actually love Fallout 4, the development of the series, and that we're getting 3 DLCs over the course of 3 months!
Why are people so pissed about the DLC announcements? We’re getting more content! If you don’t like it then why are you playing and/or still paying attention to the game? Don’t judge the DLC until it’s out >
I’m mildly disappointed because we’re only getting three more dlc hahaha.
But in all seriousness, I’m excited for NukaWorld after seeing the trailer. I guess there might be complaints because it doesn’t feel “grand” or world-altering from the trailer. Also I really, really wanted more companion-related DLC ala Far Harbor.
Who knows though! It might have all of that!
Yeah, the fact that these are the last of the DLC add-ons is the only real disappointment. I guess it could be to divert more staff to TES and other projects maybe? =/ I love that people can already tell Nuka World supposedly isn’t grand enough. Such a fine superpower! To deduce such facts from a 30 second teaser revealing an entrance to a massive amusement park and a radroach is phenomenal! These people should pool together and help change the world with their incredible perception, intuition, and precognition!
Man I would have loved some DLC quests dedicated to Hancock, and Strong’s quest to find the Milk of Human Kindness. How cool would that have been?! =D
Yes! It’s always bugged me how Strong’s milk quest is just… forgotten? Like yeah it’s absurd, but come on, he talks about it so much, just let me help the big guy out!
I know it’s hard to get voice actors back, but man I’d loved to just get a Companions DLC with even just a couple of small new quests for each of them. Getting Piper a new printing press from a rundown factory; recover some of the Quincy gang’s belongings from the ruins for Preston; help Hancock find out the truth about his brother (or maybe defend Goodneighbor! ); help Cait rebuild the Combat Zone; Curie finds a stash of ingredients for her Miracle Cure; DRINKING GAMES WITH LONGFELLOW!
I’d 100% slam cash down for little things like that, hahah.
who wants to speculate about Death Stranding with me
I’ve never played a Kojima game before, but I just watched the trailer, and it reminded me of (hear me out) this one freaky part of Moby Dick.
I want to say it was “the savage” Queequeg who notices in a pod a mother whale with a baby whale still attached by the umbilical cord. He remarks something to the effect that it looks just like how when they harpoon whales, the whale is attached to the boat by the harpoon’s rope. The boat carries around a dead whale like a fetus. It’s supposed to be one of those whacky Melville life and death are the same moments.
In Death Stranding, we see the same thing, a bunch of dead whale with fetuses attached. The black handprints look like they fill up with oil, the principle byproduct of whaling which Melville spends chapters discussing the importance of for churches, coronations, day to day life, and also relates it to a giant circle jerk (seriously.). However, this oil looks more like petroleum, much like what happens when there’s an offshore oil rig accident and it kills marine life. Given the once importance of whaling oil and the hopefully eventually obsolete petroleum oil manufacturing, and how they both come at a great cost, I think it’s another freaky life and death correlation.
I have no idea what to think about the implied cesarean section mpreg though.
I’m going crazy reading all the delusional posts on this website about yesterday’s tragedy but I’m staying in my lane because I don’t have the emotional stability right now to deal with mob frenzy.

I’m not someone who believes in ghosts, but I was sitting in my room, alone and in the dark, and I heard the strings of my violin being softly plucked.
My violin is hanging on the wall several feet away.
So I gathered my courage, grabbed my phone, and used the camera light to investigate.
And found this.
A goddamn spider was playing my violin. Not even joking. The little shit.
So I was writing a small paper in Microsoft Word and the program suddenly crashed (I saved a couple minutes before, thank god) and I get this message in the corner of my screen two seconds afterward
