The first thing that the Creators made was the Titan, a colossal being whose body was composed of all elements and whose mind could know only truth. They were pleased, and decreed that they could never have made anything better.
But as time passed and they continued to fawn over their masterpiece, the Creators saw how they had foiled themselves: with the perfect being created, there was nothing...

one time i saw this show that started out with this intro about how this human lady totally did it with a huge dragon dude??? and i was like “that’s hot” but the show wasn’t about their awesome interspecies romance it was about their dumb stupid kid who had orange skin and it was dumb and bad
what i wouldn’t give for a show about a consensual romance between a babe and a monster
tips for writing a "trans* character" from a...
monsterhugs:
hold up one second!
you’re not writing a “trans* character”
you’re writing a character who also happens to be trans*
and you can go through all the stereotypical ‘coming out’ stories and ‘shocking reveals’ that some fiction does
many of which are pretty gross
and uneducated
and, again, stereotypical
or you can be chill about it.
the smaller of an issue it is in your fiction

MTV and Tumblr have announced another step in their growing partnership: an animated sitcom based on the popular “face memes” of Tumblr. Tumblr founder and creator David Karp (his blog can be found here) is the mastermind behind this collaboration, which will feature many icons familiar to the Tumblr...

I need help.
My family went back on their promise to help me pay for my plane ticket to see my boyfriend Chris, who lives in England, in March. I was counting on this - I’m unwell and not able to work and Chris is a busy full-time student working hard to earn his degree.
I don’t know what to do. Plane tickets from the US to the UK average around $600 - $800 USD. This trip means so much...

That’s right: Tony Tony Chopper, ship’s doctor and talking animal companion for the Straw Hat Pirates.
Born a normal blue-nosed reindeer, he ate the Hito Hito no Mi (Human-Human Fruit), which gave him the ability to take on two different humanoid forms: one large and hulking, the other (pictured here) small and cute. He was taken under the successive wings of Dr. Hiriluk the...

Looks like this essay was needed, so I went ahead and did it. Not sure I said everything I wanted to say, but I tried.
So, there’s this girl. She’s tragically orphaned and richer than anyone on the planet. Every guy she meets falls in love with her, but in between torrid romances she rejects them all because she dedicated to what is Pure and Good. She has...

One of my favorite recurring gags in MST3K
is when there’s some kind of monster or creepy crawly on screen and the guys are like, “Hey folks, I hope you’re enjoying the picture. Now watch me scare these kids!”

To be honest I don’t think he’s that much of an asshole. Tumblr is pretty damn quick to mob on things when one person with a generally accepted opinion says “oh look at how much of a bad person this he/she is”. A lot of the people reblogging it are being just as abrasive and shitty as they claim…
This. I really, really miss the days of “if you don’t like...

ardeb:
I am going to start an interactive text adventure dating sim webcomic thing (you know like Be Calm and I guess that thing called MS Paint Adventures but better) relying on user input for commands and suggestions and stuff
It’s going to be sort of a dating sim involving entirely monsters
But I need at least one dedicated artist willing to help me with this because while I can write very...
Serious inquiry?
ardeb:
Would any of my artistically inclined friends who are looking for a regular fun project be interested in working on a text adventure type monster dating sim aventure fun text internet monster thing with me?
Reply to this if interest
I can explain more shortly but now I’m going out to get teeeEEA
Oh hey artist friends check this out!

I am, of course, talking about werewolves.
(Also, the “read more” button was being stupid. I apologize.)
My main dilemma is not with the creature itself, but rather the use of the word “Werewolf” in modern fantasy.
I mean, the word “Wer” in Old English indicates masculinity. This is all well and good for antiquated patriarchal societies, but in modern...

sometimes i wish i was a philosophy major and then went to grad school and became a professor so i could subject my college students to xavier: renegade angel and make them write papers about it

You have no idea what kind of shenanigans I would get up to if I had a teaching job.

When I think about it, Skyrim did a pretty good job of presenting homosexuality as Not a Big Deal. Gay marriage is exactly the same as straight marriage: shallow and kind of awkward. But that’s okay, because you have better things to be doing than wooing your Orc bride over the course of the game. There are dragons to be slain, dungeons to loot, and buckets to place over unsuspecting...

Does anyone ever have this problem on Skype?
I can’t click away from this one conversation and it’s not notifying me when people post.
Goodnight everyone.
Only two weeks to go until Christmas is here~
Just in case my paranoia is correct:
If any of my friends are trying to talk to me on Skype, I’m not ignoring you, I just can’t see your posts.
