I know deer are like 500 pounds of muscle but they LOOK like they’re hollow. I should be able to knock on a deer and hear a metallic echo. that’s what God intended but something went wrong
if you hit a deer with your car that deer should just fall apart gently at the seams and not leave a scratch. instead You die in an explosion. somethings not adding up.
They look hollow bc what you see as a deer is just the mask of their true form perceivable to us

When my great grandpa was on his deathbed my grandpa (his son) was with him and says his last words were “I told them they shouldn’t have hanged that woman. Well by damn they’re paying now” and no one in my family knows what the fuck that means
My grandmother was harassing me about the dangers of online dating, and my grandpa was like, “Oh fer crying out loud, leave her alone. My parents met online, she’ll be fine.” Apparenly my great grandparents were both telegraph operators who would chat over the line in between messages and fell in love and my great grandma moved halfway across the country to marry a dude she met over the telegraph.
No one alive in the family had ever heard this story until like 70+ years later when I happened to start seeing a dude from OK Cupid.
Btw, if you’re new to tumblr, or even if you’re not new to tumblr but don’t know, if there’s any little features that annoy you or QOL things you want, chances are you should download Xkit to more fine-tune customize your experience. Not sure if this is still common knowledge as it used to be, but it’s a great help.
For the unfamiliar: there are three extensions called XKit, for historical reasons. The one you want is called “XKit Rewritten”. It is a browser extended which can do many things to improve your Tumblr experience. One of my favourites is called “panorama”, which simply makes your dash actually use whatever horizontal space you give it, rather than occupying no more than the middle third of your screen and filling the rest with empty space for no good reason.
Since it is a browser extension, XKit is only useful for the browser version of the site, but it improves things so much that you may find you never want to use Tumblr Mobile ever again.
To add onto this even more, I actually use a combination of both “Newxkit” (which no longer updates, but still has some features I find too good to do without, like mouseover reblogs and other QOL tweaks) and “Xkit Rewritten”, which is a browser extension that allows you to, as said above, disable tumblr live.
For reference on how great xkit is though, I didn’t even know tumblr had changed its layout to try and look like The Devil’s Web because it’s like this
To anyone new, “XKit” (the original tm) has been discontinued since 2016 or sth, meaning the original coder no longer updates it. “XKit Rewritten” is made by completely different people who continue the good work the original xkit guy started.
Idk anything about “Newxkit” but if it no longer updating, then “Xkit Rewritten” is the most up-to-date one among the three of them.
i think banishment is the funniest possible spell you can cast on someone. like i’m not even going to fight you. YOU’RE going to leave. you have no choice.
