Little things? Are you talking about your micro? Actually it's a clit.
LITTLE THINGS, April 2019
P: all robot voices are "she her" like Alexa or Siri, because frequency. can't have a he him, high-frequency voice. so they need to be screeching. 'he him' voices must be a low frequency buzz.
P: seams (sounds like "seems"). if you look at furry animal coats, you see the grains and 'seams' on their skins. on humans it's far more subtle. but it makes me think of sewing patterns. not that i'm into sewing or know much about it. it's a little touch of CREATION.
H: Whats up with cowlicks...
P: i just randomly find little tiny things like these. some i include just because they're so autistic, they're funny.
P: + A shark does not leave a skeleton behind after it dies — its cartilage skeleton decomposes with the rest of its flesh.
P: + The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has Luv and Bertie, the couple that runs the potion shop. From their dialogue, it is evident that Luv is the dominant one in the relationship, while Bertie is a shy, ineffectual Henpecked Husband. He also seems to be primarily responsible for looking after their infant child.
P: + Super Scribblenauts allows the player to summon various deities. It also allows you to summon an atheist who upon seeing a god will immediately start displaying the "thinking" icon and run towards it, causing the god to die on contact.
P: + Spongebob Squarepants: "I Had An Accident" _. When Patrick and Sandy are attacked by a gorilla, Spongebob attempts to save them but gets torn in half. He does have one question about this whole situation. "What's a gorilla doing underwater in the first place?" The surprised gorilla awkwardly tries to explain before yelling "George, they're on to us!" Causing a zebra to show up and say "Let's get out of here!" ending with them Riding into the Sunset, along with the confused reactions of a family that was watching the episode before turning off their TV.
P: + The Vive Sin Drogas ads feature a boy who does not have a visible nose. The rapping flower does not have a nose either, though in its case it's understandable since flowers don't have noses in real life.
P: + This is another example of why therapists and other "psych" workers are useless. I've worked around/with several of these over the years. From what I've observed, they have absolutely no common sense whatsoever. In fact, I'd go so far as to say, they're usually actually harmful.
P: + The Iron Maiden did not actually exist as a torture device during the Middle Ages; it was in fact a later invention by museum curators, which looked impressive enough that they started to appear in fictional works.
Ninja tropes tend to be like this:
P: + The stereotypical all-black ninja-gi associated with the ninja warrior didn't exist in real life. This outfit is actually the uniform of the kuroko, or stagehands in Kabuki theater, so that they could manipulate the scenery in plain view but be easily ignored by the audience. In real life, a ninja was basically a spy who would blend in seamlessly with the environment (e.g. by dressing as a merchant or a farmer) so no one would find him a threat — until he suddenly killed you and ran away. Kabuki theater, when showing a ninja assassination, would depict this by having a stagehand doing the killing, shocking the audience by having someone they had taught themselves to ignore suddenly interacting with the characters (and also conveniently saving on costumes). It thus worked similarly to The Butler Did It; it's a good illustration of how ninjas work in the story, but not how they actually behave. A ninja who dressed in all black would ironically stick out like a sore thumb.
P: + The shuriken, or Ninja throwing star, is often depicted as a killing weapon in "Ninjer" movies from The '80s. In Real Life, ninja used them as a throwaway weapon of distraction. Even when they did throw them directly at their enemies, they weren't meant to cause damage on their own, but distract the opponent for a key second and allow the ninja to strike. They also weren't usually throwing stars, but more often just plain metal spikes.
P: + Sir Isaac Newton. Genius? Check. Has confusing ideas that make sense the longer you think about them? He tried to reduce all of reality to basic mathematical equations, so check. Batshit insane? Check. He experimented with alchemy at a time when people had already stopped taking it seriously, and suffered from dementia caused by mercury poisoning. He was the first person to find the reason why the orbits of the planets are ellipses, rather than circles— a problem that was a really big deal at the time. He then completely forgot about it until he offhandedly mentioned it to a friend. When his friend asked to see his proofs, he realised he'd misplaced them. Solution: rewrite all the calculations purely from memory. When the friend perused over the papers he did find, there were the whole Principia Mathematica, putting everything then known about maths, physics, optics and the Universe on its head. Newton had not organized them; it's simply that, to be able to solve a problem, he'd invented infinitesimal calculus wholesale.
P: + Nikola Tesla. 50% genius, 50% crackpot, 100% amazing. He was self-employed but did have to get investors.
P: + There have been rumors of female Olympic athletes intentionally getting pregnant, and then terminating the pregnancy about 2-3 months in, just to get a boost from the hormone surge caused by the pregnancy. (What that hormone boost was supposed to do is to increase the volume of the athlete's blood, thus theoretically improving her athletic performance, similar to other methods of "blood doping," but more difficult to detect or prove.) To date, there have been no credible instances of athletes doing this. It also might not be very practical, as pregnancy hormones cause side-effects like Morning Sickness and fatigue, neither of which are really conducive to athletic performance or endurance, even as they taper off when the pregnancy is terminated.
P: + tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AstronomicZoom
P: + In Inception wardrobe made sure that Ariadne had her hair up for the level in the hotel. As her character floats in zero gravity for that level, it would have been a nightmare for the SFX crew to animate Ellen Page's hair if it had been down.
P: + In Gravity (movie), Sandra Bullock has short hair because she spends almost the entire movie in zero gravity.
P: + A scene in Arrival _. Amy Adams enters a zero gravity situation with her hair tied up, only for it to come undone and spend the scene billowing around as it would in actual zero gravity.
P: + Plague Doctors. They healed the plague (to the best of their abilities), were some of the few decent people at that time... and happened to wear beak masks that were Uncanny Valley incarnate. This image was cultivated on purpose mind you, to prevent the doctors from being mobbed by desperate plague carriers. The mask also served a second purpose, the costume was a kind of primitive hazmat suit intended to protect the doctor from infection. Unfortunately back in those days the emphasis was too much on "bad humours" and smells rather than pathogens and plague doctor suits were rarely washed.
H: The plague doctors thing reminded me of parts of leviticus (i think??) That talks about different poc marks and some are unclean leprosy and some are okay.
P: + Marilyn Monroe was able to do this by changing her posture. She was once walking down the street with an interviewer. No one was noticing her, and the reporter was confused by this. She then said, "Want to see her?" She changed the way she walked and gestured, and suddenly people started noticing her.
H: Tranny actor changes their wig color, the type of clothes, makeup, mannerism, you got yourself a new tranny.v
B: Marilyn Monroe was a big headed she/man and never went unnoticed. From the time the little disgusting he/she was born until it aged and caked on makeup to hide its 5 oclock shadow. Twist, contort and with the help of the camera it's a woMAN.
P: what's hilarious, is the "fat acceptance movement' (which are just super fat castrati) tried to make Marilyn into a "plus sized icon" when uh, no he wasn't. also the voice. annoying in its own way, the creepy, breathy moaning. i know a few ancient strats who'd talk like that. i guess it was supposed to be a less-destructive-to-voice alternative to the SCREECHING they usually do.
P: it's hilarious when freaks wreck their voices with vocal fry and become deaf and unintelligible bizarre noise generators after 60.
B: Mr Monroe's Mr President song reminds me of jim carrey playing a steroid taking she/man in living color. How blind we were. Then inverts made comedies about stuff we had right in our faces.
P: > Honestly big city people are good at ignoring weirdness, especially if there are cameras involved. Probably too good at ignoring it really.
P: someone on kiwifarms wrote that, but anyone could notice that. it's a huuuge meme in movies to show something crazy like dinosaurs or aliens stomping around NYC, and the citizens just pointedly ignore it or act mildly annoyed. hmmmmmmmmmmm.
P: > the sort of thing where a father pulls a gun on the kid taking his daughter to the prom
P: knowing now that almost all "dads" are rexdads... ??? i this really a mother thing? or? ??? who even knows. most castrati (thankfully... why am i saying "thankfully" in regards to strats) aren't mothers, they're childfree or single forever, but some have tranlets to abuse. so. who even knows.
