Thanks." "Would that be a carmel mocha or-" "A fucking mocha mocha. No tip for her. Karkat stared into the small jar of tips, sitting on the counter with its low amount of change. Whatever. Not like she was pretty under all that nerd. After paying her, he had a second thought and casually slipped a dollar into the change jar. "Hey girl, how you doing tonight. Go figure. Karkat picked up his coffee from the end of the counter, took his receipt and exited the coffee shop. So he sat there, sipping at the cool beverage (why the fuck did he order it iced?!

The Most Badass Alphabet Ever Sometimes I find things on the internet that leave me speechless with their awesomeness. And considering it’s my job to find crazy stuff all day long, that’s actually saying something. But today I am bowing down to “The A-Z of Awesomeness,” a series of illustrations by Neill Cameron, where he takes each letter of the alphabet, crafts an absurd sentence around it, then brings it to life with an excellent drawing as you can see above. There are 25 more epic letters to go, and you must check them all out below: With Open Arms - Lacertae - Homestuck Chapter Text Ch 01: In which the grubs come to life, and some info is shared The first to give in is, obviously, Jane. She’s grown with this kind of motherly instinct that just overflows, from her love for cooking to the way she manages to even fret over the other humans and the trolls, and there is no way she can let those sweet, adorable little grubs roam everywhere by themselves. At first she just stares at them, not knowing what to do, then she simply picks all of them up one by one, gathering a handful of coloured critters in her arms, cooing at them, petting one and scratching another, breaking two of them from a small fight, and carries them off to her house. She has no idea what to feed them –they are not human babies, and when she tries giving them milk, only two of them accept it and seem to like it, while the others just ignore it, sniffing and wriggling, whining because they are hungry. There is no way she can leave them alone. “Jane…?” “Wait, Jane, where are you–” “I’m sorry!”

The Five Greatest Mysteries Of Human History The Lost City of Atlantis is one of the oldest and greatest mysteries of the world. Since ancient times, people have been trying to locate Atlantis, which is believed to have submerged after an earthquake or tsunami. Greek philosopher Plato described Atlantis as a large island located near the Rock of Gibraltar, home of the most advanced civilization and being of unrivaled refinement with a glorious palace.

Just a cute story about grubs - Chapter 1 - Lemu - Homestuck Chapter Text A small, lithe predator crouched between two jagged rocks. It overlooked a large underground chamber that was absolutely chock full of prey. Snap. It then focus it’s attention on the next nearest grub, which was well aware of the danger now, and had begun to chirp loudly. The predator hissed in annoyance, and snapped at a grub near one of its long legs. It didn’t even get a chance to know what had hit it. It was now a feast for the tiny creatures it had been hunting. The commotion was noticed by almost all of the grubs in the chamber, who began flocking toward the center in a sort of feeding frenzy. Hunger eventually won. HISSSSSS! He crawled back to his crevice, bleeding and even hungrier than before. Chirp. The sound was close enough to cause the red to wake up, albeit rather disgruntled. The red jolted back awake, scrambling and hissing. But when he looked closer, he noticed a scab over the teal’s brow. The little teal didn’t understand why the red wouldn’t get up. Oh!

Karkata Inti - Chapter 1 - CaptainZombri - Homestuck Chapter Text It started as a dare. Karkat Vantas had never been one for friends. He sat in the front of every class he had. John knew this, even if it was the only thing he could ever remember about the guy. He disappeared one day. Dave said he must have gotten pregnant and dropped out. Weeks passed. That is, until the day Feferi Peixes marched up to the front of 3rd period English with an announcement to make. Confused murmurs continued to prevail throughout the class. "Quit your carping, Vriska!" From behind John, Dave snickered. "Dude, shut up before Feferi comes over here and punches you," John whispered back. Luckily for Dave, Feferi failed to notice his quip, and continued her speech. The class remained silent. "Hey John," Vriska whispered, mindful of her volume level so Feferi wouldn't think she was volunteering, "I dare you to take it to him." John snorted. "But why me?" Vriska chewed her lip in thought. "Spring for pizza or rob the pizza store?" "You are so boring sometimes! "Um.

Six Of The World's Most Famous Misquotes “Let them eat cake” – Marie Antoinette Much celebrated and oft repeated, the infamous statement of “Let them eat cake” is in fact a mistranslation. French monarch Marie Antoinette is falsely believed to have uttered the famous lines when she heard about French people starving due to lack of bread. In actuality, it is thought the term was coined one hundred years earlier by another Marie: Marie-Therese. And even then, Marie-Louise, the wife of Louis XIV, is believed to have said, “Why don’t they eat pastry?” “One small step for man…” – Neil Armstrong The iconic phrase, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” is flawed for one simple reason: it makes no grammatical sense. Most Famous Misquotes: “Nice guys finish last” – Leo Durocher The phrase, which has through time been lifted from its original sports context and applied to the difficult world of dating, was in fact not even uttered in the sporting field.

Time Shenanigans - Terminality - Homestuck Your name is Dave Strider and you have just made the biggest mistake in your entire life. Which might actually be saying someting at this point, because your life has been nothing but Big Fucking Mistakes lately. You feel like you deserve some kind of Fuck Up award for this one, though, because when you look down at where Karkat used to be standing and see instead a little pile of candy red and black hair, you decide you've gone and ruined everything forever. You hadn't really meant to do whatever it is you just did. One minute he'd been standing in front of you, rambling on and on about god only knows what, and the next you'd sort of maybe tried to freeze time around him to make him shut the hell up for ten seconds. Or grub. Or whatever that thing clinging to the front of your sneaker is. You clear your throat and give it a gentle push with your toe so you can get a better look. "Hey, uh. The little grub blinks up at you, red eyes huge and confused, and you reach down to touch it. "Yeah.

Engineering electronic music, from oddity to ubiquity Sumit Paul-Choudhury, online editor There aren't many lampshades on display in a museum because of their contribution to musical history. But there is one showcased at London's Science Museum at the moment: though unremarkable in aspect, it once belonged to the pioneering electronic musician Delia Derbyshire, who used a tape-recorded snippet of the resonant sound it made when struck as an ingredient in her proto-techno. Sampling is run-of-the-mill stuff today, but it was all but unheard of when Derbyshire was working at the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop back in the 1960s - as were many of the other music-making techniques she and her colleagues pioneered. "People now know what to do with it, but back then it was out of this world," says Merel van der Vaart, curator of the Oramics to Electronica exhibition now running at the Science Museum.
