Hopefully, this news signals a coming renaissance of thoughtful science fiction on television. Could the era of Sharktopus be over?

If you recognize this just by looking at it, take a nerd point. Take a couple, even.

For those of you who didn’t instantly recognize it, it’s a Pierson’s Puppeteer! which is an alien species from some of Larry Niven’s books. I have no idea if they actually come in pink, that was the customer’s color choice, but overall this does look pretty much just like the critter should, far as I can tell.

It’s also posable, with a plastic jointed spine through its body, and some wire in the lip-fingers for a little additional posability. It was a ton of fun to do! (And also a ton of work, but very worth it.)

Do you ever look up from reading a book and get disoriented because you’re actually in your bedroom or class or somewhere that isn’t the story?

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE OMG

I’ve never realized how accurate that looks.

Can’t ever not reblog this piece of perfectness ~

Oh my lord

It still amazes me of how accurate it is.

I grew up watching countless episodes of Winnie the pooh and not did I once notice this. Oh God.

I only ever have noticed OCD, depression and anxiety there, but I was too little to pay more attention to mental illnesses.

when people treat you unkindly, be kind. be kind to everyone, all the time, so when you murder them, leave no clues behind and no one will suspect you.
