an entomologist rates ant emojis

curlicuecal:
Beautiful big almond eye, realistic and full of expression as she gazes gently at you. Elbowed antennae and delicately segmented legs and body. Gorgeous pearlescent sheen like she is glowing. This ant moisturizes. This ant is round and huggable. This ant is a star. 11/10.
Beautifully detailed, lifelike pose but with an unexpected neck and odd antennae, perhaps scared straight. Her eyes suggest she has seen things. Her expression confirms she has seen too much. She is haunted and I want to know more. 7/10.
Floppy antenna, pointy muppet face, oddly posed legs. What is she? She has no waist. May be she is some kind of bee in disguise? I find her unsettling. 3/10.
This ant has an unexplained, double-jointed thorax, and no evidence of a waist. Her four-footed pose suggests that she a centaur rather than an ant. Centaur ants would be cool. I’m not sure what was intended here. 2/10.
Good first impression, kind of bland in the details. This ant has no particular waist to speak of, floppy rather than elbowed antennae, and an inexpressive face. Her color scheme is soft and hazy. I like the sharp angles of her stylishly sophisticated legs. This ant may not know quite were she is going, but she knows how she is getting there. 6/10.
Were you even trying. 0/10
Gasp! This ant is elegant. This ant has a beautiful tapered thorax, a segmented abdomen, alert, elbowed antennae, and a light-footed pose. This ant’s face suggests curiosity and a desire to explore the world. This ant inspires me. I want to be like her. 10/10
3-legged, waistless centaur-ant with strange, limp antennae and a beak. I don’t know what this is? It kind of reminds me of a Hork-Bajir. 1/10, not an ant.
This ant… makes me sad. All of her legs are broken. The MS Paint art style and gradient abuse convey distress. She has a duck beak. Despite this, her expression suggests perseverance and determined cheerfulness. I want this ant to have a better life. I am rooting for her. 3/10
This ant is a bold and challenging mixture of photorealism and caricature. She is broad and low-built and seems very sturdy. She looks like she would help you move. This ant is a dependable friend. 9/10
A picture of an ant from a children’s book. She is wearing little boots. This ant is wrong in every way, and yet I can’t stay mad at her. 7/10
An interesting, top-down view of an ant; her legs are positioned with slightly jarring symmetry. Nevertheless, her overall impression is that of a graceful, stylized design, like a pictograph. She is suitable for adorning fine garments and jewelry or perhaps gracing the walls of a tiny ant church. I like this minimalist ant. 8/10.
This is a termite. -10/10

One overlooked thing that really sets the Lord of the Rings films apart from other franchises is how earnest they are-
Most movies are so afraid of being “cheesy” that whenever they say something like “friendship is the most powerful force in the world” they quickly undercut it with a joke to show We Don’t Really Believe That! ;) Even Disney films nowadays have the characters mock their own movie’s tropes (”if you start singing, I’m gonna throw up!”) It’s like winking at the camera: “See, audience? We know this is ridiculous! We’re in on the joke!”
But Lord of the Rings is just 12.5 hours of friendship and love being the most powerful forces in the world, played straight. Characters have conversations about how much their home and family and friends mean to them, how hope is eternal, how there is so much in the world that’s worth living for…. and the film doesn’t apologize for that. There’s no winking at the audience about How Cheesy and Silly All This Is; it’s just. Completely in earnest.
And when Lord of the Rings does “lean on the fourth wall” to talk about storytelling within the film, it’s never to make jokes about How Ridiculous These Storytelling Tropes are (the way most films do)…. but instead to talk about how valuable these stories can be. Like Sam’s Speech at the end of the Two Towers: the greatest stories are ones that give you something to believe in, give you hope, that help you see there are things in a bleak violent world that are worth living for
Earnestness is so much cooler than all the hip cynicism in the world. You go LOTR

hooligan-nova:
It’s so weird to see people actually accepting the “corporations are people” thing.
Like people saying things like “Pepsi feels bad and apologized”. Pepsi doesn’t “feel” anything, it’s an organization that attempts to make money by selling a product of the same name.
And the Denny’s-style blogs and twitter outlets where “Wendy’s” has a “sassy personality” and picks fights with the other fast food twitters serve to further this illusion. This whole act is being projected by an entire marketing team whose job is to make you think nice thoughts about the product so you’ll buy more.
They aren’t real. It’s all illusion and it’s leading people to think that they are hurting real people when they criticize or resist corporate action.

Gandalf: says fuck but only for dramatic effect
Aragorn: too cool to say fuck except when he stubs his toe kicking orc helmets
Boromir: his dad told him he could only say it once so he’s saving it
Gimli: is too classy to say fuck
Legolas: knows about fuck but is too dense to understand why someone would use it as a curse word
Sam: rarely says fuck & is always mortified when it slips out
Frodo: legally cannot say fuck
Merry: sometimes says fuck but prefers other swears
Pippin: says fuck constantly like he’s trying to prove something
Faramir: also believed his dad & uses his 1 Fuck To Give to cuss his dad out on his deathbed
Éowyn: is too scared to say fuck until she kills the Witch King, when she loses all fear & strikes terror into the hearts of men with her foul language
Gollum: only says fuck
Galadriel: shocks everyone by saying fuck; has way better comedic timing than Gandalf
Celeborn: doesn’t say fuck & facepalms every time his wife says it
Bilbo: made the law about Frodo but says fuck all the time

Survey Time!
Hi everyone it’s your friendly neighborhood academic! I’m taking a religion course called Theologies From The Margins in which we look at Christianity from the point of view of minorities (women, poc, queer, etc.) and for my last project I need to gather some info from people outside the course. Which brings me to why I’m yelling into the void:
Please take this survey!
It would help my oh so greatly with my project! If y’all could also reblog, share, and just get out to the general public so I can have more than five survey results! (Survey is void after August 3rd my project should be complete by then)

Yes, because when I wear professional attire and scrubs for a living, you’ll definitely be able to see my thigh tattoo. Having tattoos or piercings does not dictate your professionalism nor your intellect. Grow up.
