I like writing, drawing, linguistics, and playing video games.
You'll mostly just find random crap here, however, lol.
Demons and monsters that torture people because they feed on human suffering are so dumb. People are suffering everywhere my guy go literally any place and take a deep whiff.
Monster that feeds on suffering becomes a professional caretaker for people with chronic pain and terminal illnesses. They can’t change the fact that these people are suffering, but they help a bit and in the meantime they’re fat and happy off that Sweet Sweet ambient pain in the air.
Two towns over there’s a demon lord trying to get their cult to abduct people for torture, but they keep getting stopped by heroes and the like, so they’re barely scraping by. Meanwhile Belogarth the Registered PCA is chowing down on back pain, medication side effects and looming mortality for eight hours a day and has become the most powerful demon on earth without realizing it.
“But don’t their clients feel weird knowing that they’re feeding off their suffering?” No they think it’s hilarious and they’re real shits about it.
Finally a medical professional who believes that they are in pain. Because the fucker is actively chowing down on your agony. Not only am I going to get treated by them I’m going to invite all of my chronically ill friends to come as well.
Turns out if you treat the pain then the humans will bring you more humans who are suffering. It’s like a restaurant where the waiter is so impressed by your ability to eat food they’re giving you more on the house
They say things like “well, it’s a real feast day for Belogarth today!” and “if my meds are held up at customs again I’m gonna put Belogarth in a food coma” and Belogarth is the one feeling weird about it
The Demon King dies and by tradition, the strongest demon is to take his place. All the big bad demon lords go to the demon seer or whatever (I dunno) to determine the strongest and are surprised that it’s some rando they’ve never heard about whose kingdom isn’t on any map and seems to consist of a single assisted living facility. They go to crown him the Demon King and are directed to a tired-looking man counting out pills and pouring juice who just looks at them and says, “we are WAY too understaffed for me to take on out-of-work hobbies right now.”

disgruntled-foreign-patriarch:
Once again for the IFLS crowd:
QUESTIONING “ESTABLISHED” SCIENCE IS HOW YOU DO SCIENCE
the IFLS crowd is basically a cult/religion by this point
Honestly though it’s important to distinguish between the levels in this cult:
Level 1: “TRUST THE SCIENCE” initiates. They will share whatever articles their preferred social media site recommends, not reading beyond headlines and certainly not reading actual studies. Motivation: have correct and socially acceptable opinions with the absolute minimum level of effort.
Level 2: Pseudo-intellectuals. They took a couple science classes maybe or watched a couple YouTube videos and know just enough jargon to make you think they read the studies. They will rarely read further than the abstract, however. Their motivation is to be perceived as intelligent and be respected by others as an authority. Since they have no actual qualifications, they piggyback on establishment organizations and media to back up their claims.
Level 3: Cult media, celebrities, talking heads. They push narratives handed down to them and highlight any story that confirms the narrative, while ignoring or twisting any story that contradicts it.
Level 4: “The Experts” - scientific organizations and government departments and the public figures who represent them, many of whom have very little actual credentials or have not done actual research for decades. Frequently seen on Level 3 shows to push narratives. Motivation: secure funding, power, and influence by pushing narratives that will always give them more funding, power, and influence without requiring them to actually solve - or even correctly identify - any problems.
Auxiliary members:
- Cult-supported researchers/scientists: They will construct studies and manipulate data to get the “correct” answer. Motivation: secure funding by doing the research that the Level 4 individuals and organizations are willing to fund. Manipulated data then feeds meta analyses which then are fed to Level 3 media.
I put the actual researchers off to the side because most of them don’t actually care one way or the other. They’ve got grad school student loans and doing the “in demand” research and getting the “expected” results gets them paid.
meow? meow- *demonic screeching*

when internet people are like “i love gothic literature but i hate anything that discusses incest, sexual violence, oppression, misogyny, abuse, torture, gore, murder, or death”
no actually me and everyone else who’s ever watched crimson peak were brainwashed by guillermo del toro into believing that incest and violence are cool and awesome. sorry
Horrifying that this pearl-clutching over horror actually being dark is unironically becoming A Thing…

The most offensive part is they call it tradpublishing.
This isn’t traditionalism. This isn’t dogma based on the belief horror and the occult and ‘indecent’ sexuality are straying from an organized religion’s interpretation of god or secular traditionalism.
This new wave wet blanketing is entirely progressive in nature, not conservative in its nature. It’s regressive-progressivism, but it’s still ideologically progressive.
It believes that culture and society are fundamentally linked, and that published material, “is that society giving the green light to such behavior.” They have a top-down view of exactly where these standards of decency and mental health come from, and suggest the reason we have violence and rape is “cultural.” And that culture approves of rape and violence, therefore, they argue, that’s why we have rape and violence in our society.
Attributing it to classic traditionalism simply blames the religious right, again, when objection on the basis of secular moralism is being trafficed largely by these social constructionists that believe you don’t have a thought in your head or a feeling in your heart that doesn’t come from propaganda, and that’s why they demand so hard to sanitize every bit of literature and movie. Because god forbid you have a scary movie that does something that personally horrifies you, because, “people have phobias and that could trigger their anxiety and mental unwellness, and we should not celebrate such things.”
The people objecting to bare tiddies don’t say, “Nudity is temptation before God and that’s why you shouldn’t be allowed to depict that in culture, tempting them to Satan,” anymore, because Separation of Church and State tells them to legally fuck off. The people objectifying to bare tiddies are saying, “Objectification and commodification of the female body is exploitation of an underprivileged and oppressed minority, depicting and iconographing their biology for the oppressive white supremacist patriarchy.” And see bare female breasts on screen not only as oppression of women, but a knife through the heart for transgendered people that don’t have breasts of their own or can’t acquire the gender affirming surgery.
And the reason these parties try to argue to legally strangle humanity’s access to both produce and consume this literature and media, is because they want to be the gatekeepers, and by being the gatekeepers, demand producers conform to their standards and carry water for their beliefs and ideology, or say they aren’t allowed to participate.
But don’t call it trad. That allows the social constructionists to duck behind the usual enemy and get exactly who is most dangerous in this situation mixed up. The courts can win an argument by a local church by saying, “Our court system does not recognize the authority of your religion,” while telling the local tenured professors at the university staging a protest to fuck off because they’re arguing in the name of religion gets into more murky territory .They don’t consider their dogmatic faith to be a religion, just “mental health and civil rights.” And if you oppose them, they argue, you are against both of those things.
I mean I dont disagree, but I’m pretty sure they mean ‘traditional publishing’ as in ‘contracting with a large company to print, market and sell the book’ as oppose to self-publishing or epublishing

Dude has a death wish
Delighted to announce this bird is real and is a corvid.
Truly the family that just keeps giving.
I haven’t seen it in the notes yet, so afaik, here’s the source of that video! So now you can see the funny poison bird much more clearly.
It was taken by a biologist that studies birds so it seems like he knows what he’s doing. For the most part. Here’s his caption:
You all know that he 100% licked his fingers after handling that bird
I can’t leave this in the tags, I’m sorry.
Normie: Did you LICK your FINGERS after HANDLING a TOXIC ANIMAL???
Biologist:
FDR was a giant piece of shit.
Can I hear more on why you think so?
Can’t speak for @luchadoreofliberty but FDR was a politician, which should be proof enough but there was also
- His rounding up people at gun-point and putting them in concentration camps due to their ethnicity
- cartelizing businesses to enrich the politically connected at the expense of poor consumers
- FDR’s slaughtering pigs and destroying food in order to raise prices while millions were hungry
- His prolonging the depression for the purposes of his own ideological vision and interests in expanding his own power
- His illegally canceling all private air-mail contracts and then putting unequipped Air Corps pilots in charge of airmail delivering, resulting in almost daily plane crashes,
- His raising taxes on the poor and middle class during the height of the depression,
- His using police powers to arrest and try people for working more hours than FDR wanted them to, or for growing wheat on their farm to feed their families without permission,
- His dispersal of ‘New Deal’ ‘Aid’ & ‘Relief’ funds for overtly political purposes–lavishing money on key battleground states while ignoring often poorer and more needy people in states which were either too solidly democratic too need to be bought off or too solidly republican to be worth trying to bribe,
- His conscripting people (and jailing the dissenters) and sending them across the world to kill or be killed in a massive war which the american people wanted to stay out of but FDR maneuvered them into through backdoor aiding of Britain and agitating of Japan, going as far as to do nothing to stop (and in fact doing everything to encourage) the attack on Pearl Harbor despite knowing about it in advance
- His sending government agents to literally steal all privately held gold (which at the time was money and was held by everybody not just rich people),
- His trying to appoint as many extra supreme court justices as necessary to obliterate any attempt at a judicial check on executive power,
- His allying with “Uncle Joe” Stalin, trying to get Hollywood to create pro-soviet propaganda films (both decisions which took place after the USSR’s deliberate decision to starve the Ukrainians),
- His purposely bombing German and Japanese cities with the express purpose of killing large numbers of civilians,
- His launching the Manhattan Project to create the Atomic Bomb, the most heinous and destructive offensive weapon ever devised, and on and on.
- His appointment of a Klansman to the Supreme Court
- His policy (or lack thereof) on anti-lynching laws (which amounted to a support of the right of certain people to lynch certain other people),
- His refusal to accept (or even use his bully pulpit to speak up for accepting) jewish refugees from Nazi Germany,
- His snub of Jesse Owens,
- His cheating on his wife,
- etc
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Franklin_D._Roosevelt
In short, he was a bad dude. Even by the standards of politicians.
As his VP and successor Harry Truman said about FDR (in private):
Eleanor Roosevelt had a similar take on her husband:
“The president uses those who suit his purposes. He makes up his own mind and discards people when they no longer serve a purpose of his.”
Yeah Dan nailed. FDR was also among many progressives that admired European fascism and nationalism.
You forgot the federal firearms act of 1934.
This is the dumbest, most disgusting fucking manipulation of facts to malign an American hero I’ve ever read. If you actually believe FDR was a terrible president, kill yourself.
We got a fluoride drinker on isle 12.
Pineal gland 100% calcified
someone said they’ve never seen FDR hero-worshipped so we’re pulling this out if the archives
>Sucks FDR’s cripple dick
>refuses to elaborate
>deactivates
Oh yeah, can’t forget how he lied to the American people about his very serious poliomyelitis.

Made this WW Ganondorf design and printed it myself with a screen printing kit, it was so fun 🥰 And the ink has a shimmer effect too, I’m living for it 🌟✨
