leave them alone and let them hang out around in ur room (normal)
trap them with a cup and a sheet of paper and put them outside (mostly normal)
slap them in the air or on your skin (sure)
hit them while theyre on the wall or a piece of furniture so it leaves a stain (absolutely fucking deranged)
ABSOLUTELY love these tags I respect this person so much
You can tell OP has never lived in an area infested in mosquitoes, those assholes suck to the highest degree
Plot twist, OP is an alien researcher attempting to gather information and wildly misinterpreting humanity’s reactions
OP this you?
i had to live the majority of my life in the louisiana heat, terrified of malaria and the west nile virus since i was a child, and breathe in the mosquito killer gas that trucks regularly spray down the street in the summertime just to read someone on tumblr say that its normal to let a mosquito live
I promise mosquitoes are not in short supply. Smash those fuckers flat
i hope i never ever ever see this image while im high or it will also straight up kill me. it would make me so scared my skeleton would run away And id be a boneless scared heap on the ground
spiders have got to figure out contracting I need to be able to call my local spiders union and be like “hey can you send a guy out for a few days the fruit flies are back” and then pay it in spider currency. I’ll learn the conversion rates. I’ll be generous with my rounding. please.
started a multiplayer campaign with my sister and they accidentally cast entangling vines directly in front if the control station in the nautaloid so none of us could get to it and we started yelling at each other over call and I like to think of it all as in-game dialogue. like lae’zel and shadowheart won’t even get a chance to aggress each other over our shouting
i hate to say it but. the healthy eating people are kinda onto something. if you can figure out a way to get all your greens and proteins and fiber in ways that taste good to you you start to prefer the healthy option over junk food 7/10 times
to be clear rice-heavy stirfry with a lot of soy sauce and whatever freezer veggies you can toss in count as healthy. bread with butter and jam, with eggs, is healthy. frying your veggies in butter and oil is healthy. eating until you are full is wayyyy healthier than counting calories. dieting is a fucking scam, the true way to eat better is to just balance the kinds of food you eat and try not to eat a bag of chips and one (1) mandarin orange for dinner too many nights in a row
it’s so wild that the best lyric in pop music history (“tell your boyfriend / if he says he’s got beef / that I’m a vegetarian and I ain’t fuckin scared of him”) and the worst lyric in history (“do the hellen keller and talk with yo hips”) are both from the same song (“DONTTRUSTME” by 3OH!3). just. crazy how that works
There are people who play BG3 without reloading saves for anything short of a TPK and while, yes, I guess, that makes it more like an irl d&d game, irl d&d games have dungeon masters willing and able to warn you about doing stupid shit and fudge die rolls. I guess if you want a brutal Gygaxian experience, you do you, but as a kid I always stuck my fingers in the Choose Your Own Adventure books to mark major decisions in case I needed to undo something and I still don’t see anything wrong about that.
This is part of my ongoing Discworld jacket embroidery project. Of course Great A'Tuin has to be on there. And of course it has to be the biggest one of them all.
I’m going to put the finished product in my masterpost, but I’m so proud of the thing that I have to put it in an extra post beforehand. Enjoy!
Update!!!
Behold: the elephants! 😁
The turtle moves! Now it’s just the “cargo” left. And the universe. Well.
Update 3: Why did I have to try single thread for the disc. Why. How did I ever think that was a good idea. This is taking aaaages.
I’d say never again, but I know myself too well…
Still trying to decide whether to outline the landmass with darker thread or not. It would make the lands more distinct - but it might also make it look more like a comic. If you have any thoughts on it, let me know. I’ll only decide once I’ve finished the rest of the disc and that’ll be at least a week, if I had to guess.
I finally had some time to continue and the disc is done! Now just some stars, planets, etc…
My estimate is that this took about 150 hours. About half of that went into the disc because I discovered single thread embroidery.
And because I always think it’s really interesting to see the back of the embroidery - bonus:
On to the next one! Maybe I’ll do the luggage now.
Wow..!
Fuckin HELL, bud. You’re an embroidery 🪡 HERO. SPECTACULAR!!!
