Maria Skłodowska-Curie's notebooks are crazy once you think about it. They're so radioactive they have to be sealed in a lead box. Imagine a world where atomic theory is forgotten and a dude just goes "yea there's a book that details the secrets of the universe, the machinations of the creation of existence down to its barest essentials, but if you get close to it you fucking die. The more you read it the more your body slowly disassembles into mush." like wat excuse me
dry humping in its specificity as a term implies the existence of wet humping
not my best work
it's the shadow that is first seen by the restless eyes of the lover, and when the name is spoken, only then will he turn to the light. oh, beautiful prince of silver chain and a crown of gold, how much does your duty weigh? how high does the sword rise? to whom do these golden eyes accompanying your every move belong to? and does your love for him amass heavier?
“A white dragon is indeed a rare thing – and fitting! For in the dragon tongue you named him after the light of the sun.”
Antagonistic Ghostmaker but when he kidnaps batman but instead of throwing him in a cell or something he just locks Bruce In his own room, gives him his clothes forces him to sleep makes sure he bathes and eats and then spars with him when he's bored.
Everyone's panicking because Bruce has been missing for a month meanwhile my guy is just getting Princess treatment- Minhkhoa insulting him and mocking him for getting caught as he gives Bruce his pancakes with extra chocolate syrup because Bruce has a secret sweet tooth. He's wearing a pink apron and he's cooking him up some more food.
It's basically vacation for Batman, he's not getting tortured and he's relaxing (reluctantly)
Ghostmaker is still sending in threats to oracle and vague messages about how he has the batman trapped and in his control as if Bruce isn't currently getting manicured and carried around.
ALSO- Minhkhoa takes him shopping but he just makes Bruce carry all the stuff because he's still the "prisoner"
By the end of it bruce is dropped back to Gotham looking better than ever and thoroughly spoiled.
oh horsie we’re really in it now
Standard sword and sorcery fantasy film periodically interrupted by cutaways to an in-universe historian from a notional period hundreds of years after the depicted events explaining the film's various historical inaccuracies. There's a recurring tangent about how the film's protagonist is a conflation of three different guys, all of them much weirder than the end product of that conflation.
At one point the historian remarks that the film's principal villain probably never existed, but you can tell from their thousand-yard stare that there's some Poe's Orangutan level discourse about that topic.
Honestly would love to see a King Arthur movie with this framework.
Still thinking about this.
Except now I’m envisioning:
Standard King Arthur movie with the usual ‘back in the 6th century…’ establishing blub, which looks a little odd because it started with a specific year, which was crossed off and replaced by another, which was also crossed off and replaced by ‘~6th century, give or take’ along with a few other editorial addendums.
Opens with Uther and Merlin discussing the siege of Tintagel. Things go smoothly until Uther’s name is used, cue the first interruption to explain that Uther was probably an ‘invention’ of Geoffrey of Monmouth, but then that academic is interrupted by a Geoffrey apologist (possibly yours truly) to defend his work with a complicated spiel that gets interrupted by the actor who plays Merlin insisting ‘we should get back to the story’
What follows slowly unravels into a poorly disguised academic debate mediated by the Merlin actor as the voice of ‘well I was actually There!’ And it slowly becomes clear that not only does he genuinely believe he’s Merlin, but his version of the story is absolutely the most unhinged and least academically supported version and relies largely on the French Romances for some reason*.
*the reason being that this is an accurate representation of many fans, who hold the Romance era as the ‘Cannon’ for King Arthur even knowing it is not the ‘Historical’ or even ‘Original’ narrative.

I love how it doesn't matter what expedition it is.
They all turn into excited kids when they meet penguins.
The Penguin: GIANTS! no way! I’m gonna wave at them THEY WAVED BACK! Holy Shit they’re dancing with me! My Wife is never gonna believe this OMG I got to dance with a Giant today so cool.
The Humans: Penguin! No way! I’m gonna wave at it IT WAVED BACK! Holy Shit it’s flapping with me! I got to play with a Penguin today; so cool.
where's the joy and whimsy guy? Have they found this one yet?
Joy and whimsy detected! This post is joyful and whimsical!
Who am I to deny a penguin some joy and whimsy 🐧

Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.
I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have historically been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.
