Avoiding a bed time

@mussthemoose

Muss, [CENSORED], still living my life angrily to destroy capitalism but now with more love (and also spite)

My favourite thing about the D&D movie is it never stops trying to be a D&D movie even down to the most minute, unsung details. There's initiative order gags (I'll go last!) there's rolling a 1 gags (setting off the trap on the bridge by inexplicably just walking up to it) there's stat gags (nobody had high enough Intelligence to be in danger from the Intellect Devourers). Almost every spell is identifiable, from Xenk using smite to Sofina whipping out Finger of Death. Simon's character arc is about his self-confidence being tied to his mastery of magic because Charisma is the spellcasting stat for sorcerers. The era of movies based on games being afraid of their source material is over.

And the second best thing about it is that none of this makes it inaccessible to newbies who have never played the game, it works great as a pulp fantasy story, with a truly great mix of genuine character moments and humor. It takes the subject matter seriously but also embraces the absurdity of living in a world where a cat could fall down your chimney then turn into a young woman and walk out your front door.

Yall sleeping on this Sam L. Jackson interview about trump lmfao.

It’s your uncle, Sam.

He was an activist before he became an actor. He was told to get out of town before he ended up dead as a young man, due to his activism.

This is just more of him being himself, which is as it should be.

People really forgot that Sam Jackson was a Black Panther

I reblogged this without saying anything earlier, but damn it’s so refreshing to see a celebrity that doesn’t feel the need to appeal to literal fascists.

Just figured out something about Diesel that makes me feel like such a dumbarse

So for those who don't know, Diesel is a typical housecat. He has typical cat behaviours and enjoys typical cat things. He's my neighbour's cat, not mine, but I feed him even though I probably shouldn't, mostly because somebody has to.

Like most cats, Diesel enjoys tasty food. He gets wet food each afternoon and can get pretty pushy in the hour or so pre-food, which is normal for cats. Sometimes, he also gets pushy at random times of the day, including a couple of hours after already having wet food, which is also not unusual for cats, so I just chalk it up to his annoying cat behaviour. It'll be a few hours after his dinner and he'll stand in front of my computer screen staring at me and I'll go to make a coffee and he'll run to the fridge and meow at me, and grab my leg when I try to leave the kitchen; it's all very annoying but hey, some cats are annoying, whatever. It's particularly annoying because he mostly seems do to it when I'm super hungry and then it feels awkward to fix myself something while he's looking at me like this, then pushing him away from my food, and somehow after I eat he's never

He does it when I'm hungry.

If you can see where this is going then you're a lot smarter than me, because it wasn't until this week that I started paying attention. When Diesel started badgering me and luring me into the kitchen, I started going. I started making myself some food. I sit down to eat it, he jumps up to smell it like normal; I push him away like normal and he goes to eat some of his dry food (the same dry food that's been there all day but he's been ignoring and bugging me instead) while I eat my soup. Afterwards he stops bugging me and either goes off somewhere to do his own thing or comes over for a snuggle.

Diesel's not leading me to the kitchen to ask for wet food. He's leading me there to tell me to eat. I'm being fuckign. Handled. By a half-stray housecat.

He's currently purring at me and asking for post-dinner snuggles but it just feels condescending now.

Me: Diesel do not eat my soup.

Diesel: I am confirming that you have food and not yet another craft project to get lost in. Good. Now I will go to my bowl and we can eat together.

My husbands favorite past time when we come come to visit my family is to just...fix mistakes that were made by my family in an attempt to be tall and sing "biiiittty family"

He just saved a TV from falling off a vestibule that my dad tried to put up there himself and 100% couldn't see what he was doing or check his work after

For reference the tallest person in my family (other then my nonverbal autistic brother) is 5'6" and my husband has a good 6 inches on all of us he looks like I giant next to us 🤣

"TALL MAN CAN YOU COME BE TALL" - what my husband will hear for the next 7 business days nonstop

"I said tall man, we are all just too damn small!"

I say tall man! We will loudly applaud when you GRAB! STUFF! OFF! THE! HIGH! SHELF!!!

As a research scientist who studies making very precise modifications/damage to glass with lasers, I cannot describe the level of sheer fucking skill and practice which must go into this.
