Happy Ten Years Of Evil Morty For All Who Celebrate

“The first note known to have sounded on earth was an E natural. It was produced some 165 million years ago by a katydid (a kind of cricket) rubbing its wings together, a fact deduced by scientists from the remains of one of these insects, preserved in amber. Consider, too, the love life of the mosquito. When a male mosquito wishes to attract a mate, his wings buzz at a frequency of 600Hz, which is the equivalent of D natural. The normal pitch of the female’s wings is 400Hz, or G natural. Just prior to sex, however, male and female harmonise at 1200Hz, which is, as Michael Spitzer notes in his extraordinary new book, The Musical Human, ‘an ecstatic octave above the male’s D’. ‘Everything we sing’, Spitzer adds, ‘is just a footnote to that.’”

silly questions

dabi and hawks are both victims of abuse and neglect but while it’s clear that dabi is more traumatized by his father, I’m not sure about hawks like what’s worse, a violent father or a mother who doesn’t protect you and abandons you

#Perhaps we are always hurtling our body towards

the thing that will obliterate us, begging for love

from the speeding passage of time, and so maybe,

like the dog obedient at my heels, we can walk together

peacefully, at least until the next truck comes.

the thing i think a lot of people don’t realize about rick and morty is that the question isn’t “does rick care about morty?” - it’s very obvious he does - it’s “does rick care enough about morty to change?”

#incredible

Fear no mort

Keigo and Touya as teens, because in my head they're happy and safe together

#this is way too good

something about the person you remember me as vs the person i've become

fatima aamer bilal, from we were put on this earth desperate, hungry and willing.
