TIL a 19 year old man dove 85 feet into the ocean to wrestle an 80 pound octopus with a 9 foot diameter to the surface in a 25 minute epic battle in which he punched the octopus subduing it after it turned red and lunged at him tearing off his respirator. He drove it home, cooked it up, and ate it.

This is the man you must fight at the gates of Valhalla to prove you’re worthy of that mighty hall

It somehow gets crazier. this teenager trained for months. he staged fights in his parents’ swimming pool to train for this epic match. he choose halloween night for the final showdown. and it was for a school project. he could have chosen any seafood, but he decided on, in his own words, “that big fucking octopus.” magnificent bastard. 

This fuckin’ dude is legitimately a Monster Hunter character

I reblog this every time I see it. I just cant

THIS IS WHERE THE MEME CAME FROM

Seriously, though, the French LOVED Edgar Allan Poe,
thanks in particular to Jules Verne.

He even wrote a sequel to Poe’s only novel,
and numerous essays about how great an author Poe was.

By all accounts, Poe (who lived a penniless life in the US)
really *was* baffled by all of this.

Reblogging because I never saw that part before!

Can you imagine the heat?? Badass af

How could you forget all the cool heavy metal ladies!? The metal scene of Botswana is NOT just a boys club

Anyone know any of the names of these individual’s groups? I love metal music and I’m always looking for new bands to listen to.

Wrust is my fave. Overthrust, Gunsmoke, and Demon are also good. 

PS in Botswana metal heads are called Marok, and lady metalheads call themselves Queens and give themselves badass nicknames like Phoenix Death Serpent.

TIL that until 2006 Russian Cosmonauts carried weapons into space. This included a pistol, shotgun, and machete. The purpose of these weapons was to defend the Cosmonauts from wolves, bears and other wildlife after their return trip to the Siberian wilderness

there’s something poetic about the idea of surviving the most inhospitable environment in the universe and the several-mile fall from it through the power of technology and then being lain low by a fucking bear

And the idea that Russians are always, even in cislunar space, ready to fight bears

Concept: one of those “mediocre white boy learns the secrets of ancient martial arts” movies, except the martial art in question is traditional Scottish kickboxing. The wise old mentor speaks with an indecipherable Highland accent and spends the whole film in a full kilt for no particular reason.

honestly? starting to flip the canvas during the drawing process improved my art so much yeehaw

top 10 art tips from chaboy in no particular order: 

1. canvas flipping good even if painful 

2. draw whatever makes u happy. be self indulgent. draw nonsense that caters to only you personally 

3. just fucking fake being able to draw things like hands and eventually you can actually do it without even thinking about it 

4. take breaks when it doesn’t come out right 

5. remember that you’re the god of this reality and can draw WHATEVER THE FUCK. be absolutely drunk with power. nobody can stop you. unless its like morally wrong like dont draw incest or whatever. incest is bad still

6. use references 

7. originality is a myth and literally every artist started copying their style from something or someone, that’s how you develop your own style. everyone does it. people who make fun of kids for copying the styles of their favourite shows/artists can choke 

10. litchrally just have fun

Why do people never want to tell you their middle name like who gives a shit its not a nuclear launch code its your damn name

reblog with your middle name in the tags

Actually, the practice dates back to the reason we have middle names in the first place!

Some time around the dark ages, everyone believed in witchcraft and wizardry, like ya do. A big principle of magic was the idea of “true names.” If a spellcaster knew your full name, they could do whatever the hell they wanted to you. Of course, people didn’t want that, but there were enough people with the same first names that you had to give people your surname as well, to avoid confusion.

The solution? A secret name in the middle that you don’t tell anyone (unless you believe that they’re not able to do magic and/or you trust them enough that if they DID do magic, you’d be fine).

this is some death note shit

Is that why when a parent uses your full name (or even just first and middle name) when they’re angry with you, it feels like they just cast some serious mojo on your soul and you know you are in deep shit?

OP is a fae in disguise do not tell them your middle name
