A sequence I'm still very fond of.
omg i told a million times just bc the amulet glows a bright pulsating red every time i'm about to commit acts of great evil doesn't mean the amulet is *driving* me to evil. it just gets excited is all
it's always "take off the amulet it's cursed" and "cast it into the flames before corrupts your soul" and never "woah cool amulet where did you get it" or "i like your amulet it looks nice on you"
It's very hard for my Dark Urge to focus on resisting his insatiable bloodlust when Astarion keeps encouraging murder.
Astarion, you're not helping.
Anonymous asked:
so why the hell do humans have the ability to digest theobromine anyway? are there any theory papers about it?
bunjywunjy answered:
it’s still an open question! humans can handle a wide array of toxic plant alkaloids (theobromine, caffeine, capsaicin, menthols) and generally toxic substances (alcohol) that would put other mammals in the ground, so there’s a whole field of study out there trying to figure out why this is!
for now though, feel free to indulge the mystery by indulging in a solid pound of high-quality milk chocolate in front of your sad pets.

#my completely baseless spiritual belief is that the price we pay for this is poison ivy, #we evolved to scarf down a bunch of weird poisons and think they're delicious, #and in exchange there is this completely harmless chemical found in a variety of common plants that doesn't bother any other mammal, #which we are all violently allergic to for absolutely no reason.

Next time transphobes call trans healthcare "experimental" you can show them this
ALT
penicillin was first discovered in 1928; vaginoplasty is less experimental
ibuprofen was first discovered in 1961; phalloplasty and HRT are less experimental
Adderall was first applied as an ADHD treatment in 1994; puberty blockers are less experimental
would also like to note that every single one of these procedures and treatments has been through rigorous testing usually both on animal models and humans in order to be approved as safe and effective by the FDA and not a single one is considered experimental. just in case anyone tries to be like "well HPV vaccines and Adderall are also bad"
