snakegay:

bees or wasps zooming around you are investigating to see if theres any food source on you, not trying to attack you (they might smell food on your clothes, or the colors of your clothes resemble flowers). they dont perceive you as an animal but as part of the environment, with no distinction between you and the ground, so they dont register you as a threat until you start freaking out and flailing at them (which looks to them like a predator attacking and is why most stings happen)

imagine like youre really hungry and saw a storefront from a distance with what looked like delicious food behind the window. and you move in close to check it out and then suddenly the building itself unfolds into a mass of limbs and starts swatting at you with them. youd be pretty fucking freaked out, and if you had a gun or another weapon you might attempt to hurt at it in hopes that would scare it off. 

best thing you can do is to stay still. it might land on you and i know thats scary, but its just looking for food and will leave once it realizes you dont have any. moving around is likelier to scare it or get it caught in your clothes, which is perceived as a threat and may provoke a sting

the trick to remaining calm is to imagine them exitedly saying “hey! hey, are you a flower? are you a flower?” in a cute voice as they gently bomp you

notanicedragon:

The double knitting technique is great. It has a light side, and a dark side, it binds the scarf together… you can see where I’m going with this can’t you. I only found out about double knitting this past summer and got monumentally carried away. This Star Wars Scarf is just one of the results.

Click on the knitting charts for full sized images. They are worked in order bottom to top.

Edit: For everyone asking I used UK size 10 (3.25mm) needles and the yarn was a reasonably priced dk weight (8ply). I used about 150g of each colour but I knit pretty tightly so you may want to get extra.

Headcanon: Jane Foster Saves The Universe

via http://ift.tt/2ne6A8A

rcmclachlan:

Ever since I saw Thor: Ragnarok (which I loved SO MUCH), all I’ve been able to think about is that one throwaway line that explained away Jane Foster’s absence. It really steams my clams that we had this awesome scientist who was as awkward and earnest as any of us dorks, who humanized a bratty space prince and never compromised herself or her work, and they erased her with a single line about her dumping Thor—like it explained anything. Like, she tore apart the stars looking for him for three years, and suddenly she’s like “Peace out, girl scout”? I can’t see her giving up him and their life together—which they fought for—for anything.

After a lot of angry mumbling to myself and singing along to sad 90s ballads in my car, I realized exactly what must have happened.

Odin happened.

The All-Father himself shows up on Jane’s doorstep at like 6 in the morning on a random Tuesday, wearing a ratty bathrobe and in serious need of a bath and beard trim. She suddenly feels better about the fact that she’s not wearing a bra under her shirt.

It’s actually Thor’s shirt.

“They evacuated the nursing home and I slept under a bridge before I recalled that you resided in the next town over” is a sentence she never expected to come out of the mouth of a veritable god, and yet here they are. Instead of asking the many questions she has (most of them starting with “what” and “the fuck”), she hustles him inside and gets him seated on the couch with a mug of the really good coffee (sent weekly by Tony Stark, because “minds like ours need high test, pangolin, you’ll see what I’m talking about”).

“At least you Midgardians can do one thing right,” Odin rumbles and drains his coffee in a single go, because like father like son, and the son is a champion mead drinker on several worlds. It physically pains Jane to give Odin any more of it, because it comes by the ounce and not by the can, and it’s going to be another six days before her next coffee delivery arrives.

Odin asks if they can watch The Price Is Right. The nursing home had him follow a pretty strict routine and he hates deviating from it.

Seriously, what.

While Drew Carey explains the rules of Lucky Seven to contestant Linda, who has the chance to win a new truck if she’s left holding a dollar by the end of the game, Jane finally can’t hold it in anymore and blurts out that Thor isn’t there. “He’s gone this week. Hunting for more Infinity Stones. You know. Since the thing with Malekith, we’ve been searching for more. But he should be back by Friday.”

Odin nods sagely and says that Linda should choose 4 as her next guess.

This is the man who once compared her to a goat. Now he’s yelling at the TV because Linda picked 9.
