scooby doo taught us that the real monster was daphne for keeping a smooth talking limp wrist twunk like fred in a straight relationship when he was born to cruise literally designed to suck and fuck
i had a vision last night that absolutely ruined me. a bra, but itās overalls. denim with the straps you have to tie and everything. but itās a bra!
overbralls
Iām horrified that sheās actually considering it
I mean, of course I would be considering it, having dumb sewing ideas is basically 90% of my personality.
ā¦oh wait no I went one further than considering it I did do itā¦
I ended up not going with the front fly closure, in part because the shortest opened ended metal zipper I could get was 40cm long and also TWELVE DOLLARS(!) but also because I got annoyed with trying to work out the equivalent of a waistband for the bust curve - this one has a button closure at the centre back but I think next time I would go to the effort of sewing a proper bra hook-and-eye closure because it is a bit hard to wrangle on and off.
(If you want one of your own, the pattern for mine was onceĀ McCalls M7937Ā before I re-did it to my personal preferences and to be a bikini top rather than an outerwear top, but view B is pretty much this except slightly longer and with straps that are, you know, not overalls.)
This is honest to god the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life

The execution is like slam poetry but the content is clearly a shitpost and that’s def the most powerful combination I’ve encountered in a while
Love when an ao3 story gets a sudden burst of interaction all at once and it’s obvious it was because one person found it and shared it with their friends or posted it in a fandom discord who all came flocking because it’s like “a book club :) a book club has found me :) hello”
You know a little detail I love in The Martian book? That Mark is obviously smart, but to different degrees depending on the subject.
He’s a mechanical engineer and a botanist. This makes him especially good at math, biology, food science, physics, and techy stuff that involves building things or taking stuff apart and making it do something else and general problem solving
He’s also generally good at chemistry. He knows that to make water he can breakdown hydrazine, but doesn’t think about the fact that it would cause the place to fill with hydrogen and almost blow up until it does. He also knows you exhale some oxygen each time you breathe, but doesn’t know how much.
He knows that solar panels are held at a 14 degree angle but doesn’t know why, and only knows the angle because he was in charge of setting them up
When he gets injured he doesn’t say what muscles, just that his back hurts. He fixes most of his muscle injuries with pain killers and warm baths while thinking about how the medic would have more detailed instructions
He has no idea how the pilot is so good at pilot stuff, and never differentiates different kinds of rocks like the geologist would
It’s just cool to have a smart character who is smart at things that make sense for their degrees and experience. So many characters get the Sherlock Holmes treatment where they’re good at whatever the plot needs, but in this case the book uses his blind spots as part of the plot. He knows enough chemistry to solve problems but not enough to anticipate the problems the chemistry would cause as well. It’s refreshing to have a book where what a character is bad at, or just not super good at, works with the story rather than just getting glossed over or having the character magically good at everything because if you know botany obviously you also know anatomy and geology and meteorology, etc
“…knows enough chemistry to solve problems but not enough to anticipate the problems…” is such a good way to put it.
“Each crewman had their own laptop. So I have six at my disposal. Rather, I had six. I now have five. I thought a laptop would be fine outside. It’s just electronics, right? It’ll keep warm enough to operate in the short term, and it doesn’t need air for anything.
It died instantly. The screen went black before I was out of the airlock. Turns out the “L” in “LCD” stands for “Liquid.” I guess it either froze or boiled off. Maybe I’ll post a consumer review. “Brought product to surface of Mars. It stopped working. 0/10.””
i feel like tumblr would really benefit using tone indicators. a lot of people may use them, but i havent seen a lot of it! as a neurodivergent, it helps us understand the tone of what youāre saying. sometimes itās hard to tell whether youāre actually mad, or itās just lighthearted, or if youāre being sarcastic!
hereās a chart of tone indicators if youāre interested in using them:
also: please do not use any of these as a joke. do not put /srs if you are not being serious. these tone indicators are supposed to be helping neurodivergents and neurotypicals alike.
[ID: a list of 26 tone indicators and their associated meaning. Each one is preceded by a forward slash.
/j = joking
/hj = half joking
/s = sarcastic
/srs = serious
/p = platonic
/r = romantic
/I or /ly = lyrics
/t = teasing
/nm = not actually mad or upset
/nc or /neg = negative connotation
/pc or /pos= positive connotation
/Ih = lighthearted
/nbh = nobody here (for when youāre vaguing someone in a vent)
/m = metaphorically
/li = literally
/ij = inside joke
/rh or /rt = rhetorical question
/gen = genuine question
/hyp = hyperbole
/c = copypasta
/sx or /x = sexual intent
/nsx or /nx = non-sexual intent
/th = threat
/cb = clickbait
/f = fake
/g = genuine
End ID.]
thank you for this! and also just to get this out there, iāve seen people call tone indicators redundant, useless, or unnecessary and i have news for those people; if you donāt want to use them, you donāt have to! but calling something that was made to be an assistive aid for disabled and neurodivergent people useless and unnecessary is rude as hell! a lot of us find these very helpful so i donāt want to see anyone complaining about them :)
