Dr. Leonard brutally rips clothes to give a shot McCoy
There may come a day when I do not reblog this gifset… Today is not that day.
Fun fact, the original series uniforms weren’t just t-shirts (despite how they might look) they were made out of velour and had zippers along the shoulders. This isn’t bones ripping Kirk’s shirt. This is de accidentally destroying props/wardrobe but continuing to go through the scene like it was supposed to happen.
A little PSA about ASL for ‘Thank you’! I’ve had all of these signed to me accidentally hahaha. And whenever I sign thank you to non signers, sometimes they thought I was blowing a kiss to them. T_T
Oh oh! Make careful how you sign work too. Left hand faces down when you bring your right hand over your left to tap your wrist just twice. That means work/job. If your left hand is facing up so the inside of the wrists come together you’re asking somebody if they want to fuck.
“move this sign one inch to the left and you’ll be signing ‘penis’“
Nearly every lab has a magnetic stirrer for mixing fluids, but this ubiquitous tool still holds some surprises, like its ability to unexpectedly levitate. Magnetic stirrers consist of two main parts, a driving magnet that creates a rotating magnetic field, and a bar magnet – commonly referred to as the flea – that is submerged in the fluid to be stirred. When the driver’s rotating field is active, the flea will spin at the bottom of its container, keeping its magnetic field in sync with the driver.
But if you place the flea in a viscous enough fluid, the drag forces on the flea can pull it out of sync with the driver’s field. Above a certain speed, the flea will jump so that its field repulses the driver’s. That makes the flea levitate as it spins. Depending on the interplay of viscous and magnetic forces, that spin can be unstable (left) or stable (right). The researchers suggest that this peculiar behavior could help artificial swimmers propel themselves or lead to new methods for measuring fluid viscosity. (Image and research credit: K.

Im tempted to do a “long island suburban gothic” but i know it would be less horror and more “oh look i found a spider oh look i killed it and it turned into two separate live spiders how fucking cool is that???” so
only two? what kind of weak-ass wolf spiders you got up there?
The kind that are jumping spiders and not actually wolf spiders at all
In medieval culture, an event like a royal christening is not a private party; it’s the public social event of the year. To not invite any person of rank to such an event is a deadly insult.
Maleficent is certainly someone you wouldn’t want at a party, but she’s also someone powerful enough that only a fool would ever dare treat her with such blatant disrespect. The only way the King and Queen could possibly have gotten away with not inviting Maleficent was to not invite any of the fairies at all; inviting the other fairies and excluding her is explicitly taking sides in the conflict between the fairy factions.
Which means they made themselves her sworn enemies, and she responded by treating them as such from then on. If you actually get into analyzing the social dynamics of the scene, it’s very clear that Maleficent was willing to show mercy at first by giving the King and Queen a chance to apologize for their disrespect to her. She doesn’t curse Aurora until after she gives them that chance and they throw it back in her face with further disrespect.
And yeah, if the King and Queen had done the properly respectful thing and invited her, Maleficent would have given Aurora a scary awesome present. Moreover so would the other fairies, because at that point both sides would be using it as an opportunity to show off and one-up each other. What they gave her before Maleficent showed up was basically just trivial party favors by fairy standards.
How do you know so much about the social dynamics of medieval fairies
Because the very first things anyone reading a legit fairy tale will realize right away is A) there are Rules and B) ignore them at your peril
…okay, now I just want to see baby Aurora being told by Maleficent that she will be a conqueror and a ruler without peer, the master of all Europe, to whom kings and emperors bow and scrape.
ahhhhhh i need
Sleeping Beauty AU with warrior queen Aurora leading her armies across the country to glory and victory
“Not only will you be a powerful ruler,” the next fairy after Maleficent steps up, “You will be just, honorable, and skilled, respected by friend and foe alike. What you take you will keep, and you will be remembered kindly by history.”
“Furthermore,” the second fairy steps up, “Any land you rule will prosper. Under your hand the people will thrive, the crops will flourish, and the stock be in good health. There will be wealth enough for all, with enough left for generosity.”
With this, all eyes turned to the third fairy, wondering what gift she would offer, what favour could be grand enough to follow these wonderous blessings of power, strength, and prosperity. Slowly, the third fairy approached the bassinet, standing before it a moment in contemplation, before finally speaking.
“All dogs with be your friends. Even the wild ones. Wolves too. If it’s a canine, it’s your friend now, yet they will never jump on you, make you smell weird, or get you all covered in fur.”
