i may be truly out of my mind obsessed and happy with ludinus's ending and have found myself sketching little post c3 moments of him. 1st one, him running off and trying to process everything that happened; he isnt doing too hot.... he has nightmares of what he did to liliana. 2nd, him in his fantasy florida retirement. 3rd, how i imagine him in a few years when one party or another finds him; scruffy & has utterly shaken off the martinet title.... maybe trying to do better. truly obsessed with the idea of his look in the future being that third art.💙

Melanocetus johnsonii specimen found 2 km off the coast of Tenerife while a group of researchers were observing pelagic sharks. It is currently unknown why the specimen was so close to the surface, being that anglerfish normally live in the bathypelagic and mesopelagic zones (200-2000 meters deep)

watching you start to love highbearer vord after rewatching c1 is great. given their newfound gender (female in the cartoon, nonbinary in c3) i thought you might have been dumbstruck seeing them as they were

not quite sure what you mean by the last part? 😅 but yeah, it's honestly fun to observe them now because i have more context than them being a stuffy priest. they arent my favorite ancient elf when lud & imathan exist in the same category but i find them intriguing and am happy to latch onto whatever desperate beast they become now that their faiths been shattered.

A dinosaur obsessed 12 year old studied fossils and found a 69 million year old hadrosaur skeleton embedded in rock while hiking. A fisherman in Australia noticed tiny shrimp in his net that looked slightly different from the others and he sent a few specimens to biologists for testing. Turned out to be a never before described species, going unnoticed in a popular lake. I posted a pic ~here on tumblr~ of a weird parasite on a dead fish and a parasitologist found it and asked to report it as the species has never been seen in my area before.

There is so, so much out there we literally don’t even know. And the best way to find that stuff out is to be intensely curious about everything you see. You might not discover a new species but you absolutely will gain a deeper appreciation for the world around you.

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

one of the more subtle moments in c1 that forever haunts me and shattered me when i first watched it was how much vax wanted to learn to follow sarenrae, only for his symbol of her to be tarnished & cracked when he made his deal with the raven queen. "i held you as my own greedily for far too long" indeed; i think part of why the rq scared me til c3 was not remotely her deal with vax itself nor her realm of death but that casual cruelty through her want. is that greed god or mortal? or perhaps both.

thinking about this horrific story alongside that of Kelaia Turner, a 12 black child who attempted suicide at 12 yrs old after being relentlessly tormented by her racist classmates and teachers. after surviving the attempt, she was stalked and harassed by her bullies who took pictures of her whilst she was in a coma at the hospital, and now that she is conscious she is completely immobile, unable to speak, and requires constant care. white people are raising demon children and the world should burn several times over for these two little girls.

“some people don’t deserve redemption” redemption isn’t something that’s deserved, it’s something someone does. it’s making the choice to change the way you live your life, to be better, to do good things instead of bad things and try to make up for the bad things. and everyone can and should do that, at any time, no matter what they’ve done. we can’t change the past, but we can choose what kind of person to be now and in the future. we have the responsibility to do so. it is so completely not about “deserving.”
