I need to stop following dice aesthetic blogs that don’t tell me what set I’m looking at because it just makes me want to go dice shopping and my tastes are expensive and I end up wanting to buy 3-5 sets at a time and they’re not even the set I was looking for in the first place.
I have begun to question head researcher Hof'Lag Dagon’s change of the human classification to that of a Superspecies. While they are entirely unique in many ways, and while their intelligence does seem to border on the higher standard as far as a race average, they are truly stupid.
Yesterday, I came across a small group of human males whispering in a secluded corner. When I confronted them, they swore me to secrecy, which led me to believe that they were planning something nefarious. Hesitantly, I agreed, and they let me in and brought me “up to speed,” as one of them said.
It turned out to be that human Andrew had misplaced the engagement ring he had bought for human Angela. Human engagement rings are very expensive and carry a large emotional and sentimental status, which leads to a law binding relationship humans call “marriage.”
Understanding the incredible value of this item, I questioned how human Andrew could have misplaced it. He said he didn’t know how he had lost it. He swore that he had kept it in his uniform’s chest pocket for the past few weeks and that he had checked every day to make sure it was there, only to find it missing at the beginning of this day’s cycle.
I personally suspected theft, but the other humans argued that it was merely misplaced and should be of no challenge to locate. So, we formulated a plan of search and split up.
1.75 hours later, I received a private message from human Andrew saying that we were going to include the entire crew in this search, save for human Angela. When I asked how this was going to be accomplished, I was informed that the captain was going to be in on this as well.
Human Andrew somehow actually convinced the captain to distract human Angela long enough for a ship-wide broadcast to be sent over the screens of all posts onboard, which read, “Andrew’s engagement ring to Angela has been lost. Find it at all costs. If questioned by Angela, tell her that there is a search for Nerva’s missing implant.”
I objected to this once I saw the message. I have no implants, and I cannot lie! What if human Angela asked me? I panicked, but I continued the search.
Another 3 hours passed before a message was sent over the ship’s comm system: “The implant has been found. Repeat: the implant had been found!” The entire crew began cheering and clapping, and the mood across the entire ship was bright. My research had held true: when one human experiences a great joy, all other humans share that joy.
When I later came across human Andrew, I asked him where the ring was located. He told me that it had been in is chambers, on the nightstand next to his bed, in plain sight, where he had put it after polishing it because it had gotten dirty in his pocket.
That’s right, a human, revered as one of the deadliest and most cunning species in the entire galaxy, had misplaced his most treasured item in his chambers in plain sight.
Honestly, if anything like this ever happens again, I am going to request a permanent leave of absence and return to J'Gardia where I will retire. These humans are aging me much faster than I should.
Republicans in Congress have rotted to the core. They truly have the worst judgment.
BTW, they will have to borrow the money to pay for the wall because the deficit is exploding, and is only going to get worse as the Trump Economy slows our country down.
truly one of the funniest things about lotr to me is how much hostility
the hobbits, a race of cheerful, fun-loving farm people, bear towards
gandalf for absolutely NO reason except that he kills their chill vibe
the hobbits of the shire whenever they hear gandalf is in town:
We’ve all seen that Gothel makes Rapunzel come to her for hugs, but today I realized it goes deeper than that. Gothel doesn’t want Rapunzel showing physical affection unless she has been given specific permission. Opening her arms is that unspoken permission.
For example, towards the beginning, when she’s reminding Gothel that it’s her birthday tomorrow, she grabs her arm in exuberance. Gothel is put out and then pries Rapunzel’s hands off her arm, all the while pretending she doesn’t remember (or care) that her birthday - something Rapunzel is extremely excited about - is fast approaching.
She also uses Rapunzel’s need for physical affection, deliberately taunting and “teaching” her with it by pretending to offer it, then taking it away immediately.
The first bazzilionty times I saw this movie, I always assumed Rapunzel was relieved to see Gothel towards the end of Mother Knows Best just because she was scared.
But now I realize it’s not only because she’s scared, but because Gothel is now giving Rapunzel permission to seek the creature comfort of physical contact that she so desperately needs after the gamut of fear she’s run.
Eugene, on the other hand, starts showing physical affection as soon as he starts feeling any affection for Rapunzel at all. He uses it as a comfort. Yet Rapunzel keeps her hands to herself.
It continues when he gives her the little flag, touching the small of her back in an affectionate way. But her hands (and attention) are full at this moment.
In fact, the first time she realizes she’s touching him, and he’s touching her, and there’s affection and enjoyment buzzing between them, she’s the first to pull away.
She’s alarmed at first, then apologetic and sheepish. Sorry I was touching you, Eugene. And he politely takes a step back, tuned in to her discomfort and giving her a little more space.
But that is why the moment on the boat is so important, and why Rapunzel has the reaction she does.
In taking Rapunzel’s hand, out of the blue (as far as she can tell), it’s sending her a clear message that he feels the same about her that she does about him, and that physical affection is both alright and wanted. That he will seek out her attention in a way Gothel never has. And from this moment on, she touches him often, holding hands for the rest of the song, brushing his hair from his face as he lay dying, and never letting go of his head, even after he’d died in her arms. Not to mention kissing him when he lives again, holding hands on the balcony while they wait for her parents and end-of-movie smooching.
Bruh.
ouch my heart
Mother Gothel was such a great villain because she was so realistic

First of all, I can’t believe this has almost 3,000 notes. I’m so glad that people are sharing this - both as a cool design, and also as an important accessibility feature.
Thanks to pseudosoph for linking to additional info (above) regarding weight limits, lift height, and product background – the creator is a wheelchair user himself! Very cool stuff. Keep sharing!
This isn’t a fail. Just wanted to share an accessibility win so people can get ideas for improving accessibility
