That’s the kind of scientist I want to be. I wish it paid.
Those scientists aren’t mad, just dedicated.
Show me a field scientist that is injecting trees with a serum to turn them into sentient carnivores. Or one that is manually digging for uranium in order to fast track the eruption of a volcano. Or the one inventing Godzilla.
Not that pansy shit.
I just love the idea of feral scientists doing feral science.
You’re walking through the forest, and some guy covered in mud stumbles out onto the cutline, fly bitten, frenzied look in his eye, and a dirty shovel on his shoulder. Oh wait that’s just me

Actual cannibal Shia Lebeouf?
Hollywood superstar Shia Labeouf?
No, I was just digging soil pits in yon shrubby fen. I don’t if you guys are looking for peat, but there’s a metric assload of it over there.
LOL, that was me last week. Got myself trapped in a swamp at the hiking trail, limped back covered in slime from the waist down.
Suboptimal. I’ve spent a shit ton of time in bogs and fens and it’s not a place you want to enter unprepared
Gf and I passed a young guy while kayaking the river one day. Dude’s wearing summer street-wear, standing at bank up to his knees with a net. He was researching turtle populations. Funky thing is, we have no idea how he got where he was.
There were some geologists (field work by my reckoning) from Massachusetts who went mad after an expedition to the Antarctic. The survivors came back mumbling something about a horrible thing from beyond the mountains.
was that expedition inspired by lovecraft or was lovecraft inspired by that expedition?
The expedition was not real. I was alluding to Lovecraft without naming him.
This is me. You can usually find me staring up at a light pole talking, heckling or cursing at it, and before you know it I’m gone.
Why? Is the light pole not providing the correct type of light or something?
Nothing to do with the light actually. I’m yelling at the small cell radios on the top of the poles.
Ornithologist then?
I mean that is a type of light.
Cellphone towers are just microwave light poles.
Crucial supporting NPCs in Monster Hunter
Wellllll, now I know what my next D&D character will be.
An INT-maxxing Druid? :p
I was thinking Artificer maybe maybe
Pretty sure I have photographic evidence of the leaf monster I spawned to terrorize the overgrown creek bed into revealing its outcroppy secrets.
It was me. I am the leaf monster what walks in the water.
The movie Medicine Man does a great job of depicting a mad field scientist.
Best moment of Disco Elysium for me.
