What in the sainted fuck is going on in here--

#Monsterdon

why are there civil war reenactors here?

#monsterdon

jeez this party sucks #monsterdon

Total "this is fine" moment #Monsterdon

Oh, my right arm for a machete.

#Monsterdon

i can't carry the ring, mr frodo but i can carry-

oh, he's dead. nevermind

#monsterdon

"Could an alcoholic do this?" *fights off a 12ft tall eating plant using only a harpoon* #Monsterdon

"Clever girl." #Monsterdon

@Taweret Everyone knows this. #monsterdon

Poor bastard didn't even get a line on camera. #Monsterdon

Wait they are alien plants? That arrived before the cosmic light show? That seems extra complicated for dandelions of death.
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

Is that a black vinyl jacket?

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

Shotguns work on zombies but not Triffids.
Has someone made a Zomboid mod with Triffids yet?
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

@springdew "You men are all alike!" #WrongMovie #monsterdon

@Taweret That would be bad for the atmosphere #monsterdon

"...most plants thrive on animal waste, but this one prefers the animal itself."
"or maybe it just got tired of being shit on all the time?"

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

as far as i know this is the first time they are considering whether the near simultaneous mass blinding and appearance of mobile alien plants might be related. #monsterdon

@otheorange_tag no one has an axe, even! #monsterdon

Oh noes SEEDS….

#Monsterdon

Mmm, plant sperm in my lungs.

#Monsterdon

It's neither, dear. It's something like a fern or a mushroom. Let the man do the science now.

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

why has no one tried burning the plants yet?

#monsterdon

See, the Hollywood strikes are because they didn't credit "guy who creeped his hands up the stairs inside a plant costume sort of like Fran & Ollie." #monsterdon

@oliphant Then you'd be Arthur "Two sheds" Jackson? #MonsterDon

So how long you figure it's gonna take these guys to try fire? Like, the single most obvious solution to a deadly plant, but no, let's shoot it. #Monsterdon

They found a big crater full of plot. #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

Boarding up the (light)house? This is a zombie movie.
"It's like being nailed in your own coffin." Oh this movie has some really good lines. Very on the nose but good.
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

#Monsterdon
Well, the gun doesn't seem to bother it, let's follow it and mess with it some more ... oh, it's colonizing.

Okay who thinks the gun will work?! #NoHands good. Who thinks a flamethrower would work #allHands good! #monsterdon

why are you shooting at the tree? it was just walking along

#monsterdon

Why's he shooting it? It's just out for a nature hike in the French countryside. #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

Y'all, go to the GARDENING SHED

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero @hoppet CONTEXT #monsterdon

You *shot* at it? Are guns EVER the answer honestly! #Monsterdon

hmmmm giraffe-form triffid incoming, that's a new one #GottaCatchEmAll #monsterdon

Poutine-a?! mmMMMmmm #NotLikeThat #MonsterDon

Amazing that he insists on wearing that hat even when no one can see it.

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

#monsterdon you cut them in half and they don't die, so Brazillian Pepper Trees/Florida Holly then

Feel like I missed out not catching #monsterdon now I’m seeing all the posts 🤣

#Monsterdon
Tine just wanted to talk ... or did she?

"What's that honey? Kinda hard to hear over all this hammering! Are you saying you're glad we're safe now? Me too!" #Monsterdon

"It's like being nailed in your own coffin."

Silence! Dammit, he's not even a botanist!

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 jinks you also owe me a coke xD #monsterdon

You messed with my etchings plant, now I’m really pissed off

#Monsterdon

"It came to life and it got out!" Okay who here is surprised?! these people are idiots! #monsterdon

"Get the hammer and nails! We're gonna crucify this son of a bitch!" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon HEY! Who turned on the lights?

Well Janette's clearly got some pipes. We're ALL AWAKE NOW! Thanks Janette! #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

ah shit it really is still alive i thought ya'll were just messin' with me #monsterdon

Maybe they should weaponize Janet Scott's screaming? Because _damn_, lady, you just shattered a window or two in the lighthouse. #Monsterdon

Wow she's a screamer, ain't she.

#Monsterdon

goddamn lady a scream that literally shattered glass?! #monsterdon

Aaaaaaand scream. Scream. C'mon, you know you wanna. #Monsterdon

@blogdiva You ain't kiddin! These guys, not really sure they're cut out to survive! #monsterdon

@floatybirb Yeah, they didn't know about ableism back in the 1960s #monsterdon

@msh Also, there was that sign in the lighthouse saying in giant letters "SEAWATER - EXTREMELY CORROSIVE!" #monsterdon

"Ooof, insert Triffid A into Slot B... Where's that toe? Oh, downstairs... Dammit where's an escalator when you need it?" #Monsterdon

Blind?! Blind?! Blind?! Blind?! Blind?! #Monsterdon

@floatybirb Huh. I thought it was the first sensible thing anyone has said so far. #monsterdon

Doctor lighthouse drunk has some really good surly dialog.
#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

"Tom you really must get some sleep" #MixedMessages #Monsterdon

@faoluin #Monsterdon
Well, we know screaming doesn't do much. It's no tingler.

Tom has a green thumb? ... damnit! #monsterdon

and that's test tubes not little cups

grape juice in little cups isn't science, it's protestantism

or _maybe_ christian science. anybody know if grape juice in little cups is christian science?

#monsterdon

@springdew HEY! EVERYONE! SPRING FAST FORWARDED FIVE MINUTES TO CATCH UP! #monsterdon

do not get back together do not get back together do not #monsterdon

Aw man, are we gonna get more screaming in a minute? :/ #Monsterdon

Roundup™️ might be an easier way to kill it have you tried that? #Monsterdon

How about BURNING the thing, you know, so it doesn't KILL you? or not, ... have a drink! #monsterdon

Chekhov's Triffid!

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

"We might find an easier way of killing it!"

Have you TRIED anything other than a harpoon? Gasoline? Roundup? Maybe a chainsaw? Literally anything?

#Monsterdon

"Get some sleep, it'll help with the delerium tremens." #Monsterdon

@oliphant Carnivorous plants are EXACTLY like stingrays. #monsterdon

"...dammit Jim, I'm a drunk, not a botanist!"

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

he's trying to figure out if he can ferment it #monsterdon

science always involves grape juice in test tubes i'm glad we all understand that #monsterdon

@springdew Who knew Triffids had a glass jaw? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Yum! Monster plant/triffid autopsy. Green blood everywhere!

@plaidtron3000 first revolution on the line: "we are more than ticker tape for the turing complete society!"#monsterdon

Meanwhile back at Drunky McScience's lighthouse... #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

Oh finally, we've needed a good monster plant dissection.

#Monsterdon

@ryan They didn't take the Sciency Talk actor's class.

#Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

"France is back to normal!"

Miiiiight be jumping the gun juuuust a little bit there chief. #Monsterdon

“France is back to normal” sure lady #monsterdon

OMFG put some clothes on you blind people! #monsterdon

the lights are back? great, we should have wifi back as soon as the router reboots

#monsterdon

"I can tell whether people see by how they react when I touch them." -things pervs would say at a blind people's convention #monsterdon

Ooo, yeah, so stubborn, won't leave a houseful of blind people to die, how inconvenient 9_9 #Monsterdon

"Things are never going back to normal"

They said that about Covid too, but the capitalist overlords proved them wrong didn't they!

#Monsterdon

“The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
There is joy and also pain
but the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
Pretty-plain, loony-sane
The ways of the world all will change and all the ways remain the same
but if you're mad or only sane
the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
We walk in love but fly in chains
And the planes in Spain fall mainly in the rain.”

--Stephen King

#Monsterdon #TheDayOfTheTriffids

HEY it IS her! Same actress! #monsterdon ( @RobynGoodfellow checked )

@LorgoNumputz "I can't feel your faaace when I'm wiiiith you!" #monsterdon

So Hartnell's not in this but Susan is. Cool. #Monsterdon #DayOfTheTriffids

I've seen london paris someones underpants?! #monsterdon

traveling anywhere requires a delicate and customary dance, where you feel your way along the chain of shoulders, giving a light but friendly squeeze to greet each passing neighbor. as you go you gossip about the happenings of that part of the line, and so information flows along the line. The line extends scouting tendrils to find new pockets of people to rescue and integrate into the line #monsterdon

This movie is helping me realize that we don't need to ban cars, we just need to make everyone blind with flesh eating plants and the problem will sort itself out

#Monsterdon #DayoftheTriffids

(squelching) #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Now we've wandered off into a twisted precursor of del Toro's orphanage.

hold on is susan talking to _susan_, as in the first doctor's granddaughter susan? #monsterdon

"Susan is not my daughter, I just randomly abducted her." #monsterdon
