Soot tags gather after fires in areas with low circulation. They are not, as commonly believed, ash covered spider webs.
oh, well then what the FUCK are they???
They’re made of sticky particles from a polymer or petroleum based fire, like burning carpet, drapes, upholstery, and clothes. Due to a static charge, they chain together and naturally gather near ceiling corners because the rising hot air pushes them into the cool spots by convection.
Because they’re formed by static electricity, they can only be removed with professional chemicals and equipment. Attempting to remove them improperly will only break the chain before all the soot can be captured, leaving the remaining soot to spontaneously reform the webs later. Even worse, trying to wipe or wash them away can firmly adhere the soot to your wall or ceiling, which will permanently stain it.
A natural phenomena that only coincidentally resembles the damned webs of transdimensional ghost spiders.
Do they remind anyone else of Venom Jizz?
hmm…
eddies house is just covered in those things isnt it
what do you MEAN I have to finish writing the fic before I can receive praise and feedback?? why can’t I just pry my brain out, shake it at my laptop until the fully-formed fic comes loose, then gently blow off the brain and pop it back in like a fuckign gameboy cartridge
Really love the playfulness (and ultimately the grinning refusal to give us a set answer) of just how much and what the Doctor suspected about Turlough prior to Enlightenment. The Fifth Doctor is a much more competently crafty character than a lot of vocal fan wisdom decries, and bits like this really illustrate the influence he had on some EDAs takes on the Eighth.
the way chakotay knows janeways mannerisms better than she does and points them out to her with the most adoring smile on his face every time and they just expect me to be normal about it.

obi wan changes his first name (but not his last name) and goes to the planet where anakin has living relatives and speaks in his silly little coruscant accent and hasn’t shaved his iconic facial hair and still wears jedi robes and yet everyone in the imperial empire is just like “girl obi wan is straight up missing and it’s impossible to find him”
do you ever look back at your relationship with someone on the internet and just think oh my god i’m so fucking glad i clicked follow they make my life so much better
1 teenager discovering Kate Bush for the first time because of Stranger Things is worth 1,000 annoying people online whining that they actually liked her before everyone else despite being born in the late nineties
