rip to bruce but if i fumbled her i would literally kill myself
#wrote this caption before trying to figure out if the artist intended for this to be a qipao or not#settled on the fact that he did (the mandarin collar sealed it) and spent 2 hour reading a brief history of them#and terminology to try and make an accurate ID but my 'ohmygof she's so fucking hot' got QUICKLY replaced with anger#like in 1930 Shanghai there were so many designs that did feature more form fitting fabric & high side slits#theres so many general gorgeous designs with the elaborate pankous and embroidery and beading that you could of taken inspiration from#and you make it more or less a unitard. you go hm close enough just to sexualize her further#like yeah she's gorgeous my caption stands but the disrespect and disregard is so... you know.#anyways. messy little ramble over. if im bruce wayne im killing myself and also thepankou(.)com has really beginner friendly posts talking#about the history of them & different (general) region styles & the use of qipaos in different media and exhibits. also a GORGEOUS wardrobe#crypt's panels#talia al ghul

Augustus: *throwing a tantrum* "DAD WHY AM I LIKE THIS"
Octavius: "Well, I didn't sculpt you but it seems they ran out of marble."
Augustus: "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT STINKS HAVING NO HANDS"
Jed: "Or legs."
Octavius: "That's not helping."
Omg you can't just say that Jed!
#dialogue? I hardly know her#sometimes I wish I was doing digital art instead but then I remembered that I'd probably spend insane amounts of time to fix little mistake#like. pixel lever of mistakes#still. it'd be nice if I could have more detail on my drawings#it would also help if I drew these a little bigger#the whole thing is less than 10cm tall (in the first panel they're like 1cm tall. little guys)#anyway#natm#night at the museum#natm octavius#natm jedediah#jedediah smith#gaius octavius#augustus caesar#jedediah and octavius#jedtavius#fanart#art#traditional art#ask#anonymous#answered#sorry this took so long. i had trouble coming up with the panels#I'm not good at making comics#btw I don't think they'd actually allow him to have the roomba unsupervised by a normal sized person or exhibit#because he literally have no arms or legs. if he falls he breaks#and jed and oct can do nothing about it#sad#parents or bust au

ok I might just be stupid or oblivious but I genuinely have no idea what feral ford is
dont even worry about it
#fandom trend where people go like Well because of everything that happens in the portal ford comes back acting more 'feral' / 'animal like'#which usually boils down to making him exhibit less palatable actual real life symptoms of various disorders and calling this 'animal li#*'animal like.' like ohhh he hides in weird places and gets startled by sudden noises and has trouble adjusting to Normal social convention#omg hes sooo hashtag feral.#it was most popular like. fucking forever ago. but with the general gf reassurance its been making a comeback too

I have things I should be working on but I'm too busy wondering what a Low or High Kochanski would be like
#Does anyone know if there are any fics/posts about this concept? I probably just haven't run into them#Especially enamored by the idea of Low Kochanski. What would she be like?#Since- as established in The Inquisitor a few episodes beforehand- conceptions of morality/worth/etc. are emphasized as being subjective#that's how I've always approached the Lows: as manifestations of what *the characters* feared was the worst about themselves#shaped by social/cultural expectations#(that's probably why though I understand some people's discomfort towards the stereotypes Low Rimmer exhibits#I was less critical towards it because it says more about Rimmer's psyche than anything)#What would Kochanski see as the worst in herself?#I keep thinking about the tags someone left on the post about Kochanski perhaps feeling guilty about how her Dave changed for her#That mentioned the possibility of her going so far as to change Lister's peogram to align to her personality and her needs#I personally don't think she would do that. But! That doesn't mean that she hasn't thought about it. Maybe at some point in the beginning#So I'm leaning this manipulative Machiavellian sort of Low Kochanski. One that's coldly efficient and calculating#Which I think would suit the others well#The Lows of The Boys are sadistic animalistic primal#There's something chaotic to their immorality#I think Low Kochanski could stand in contrast to that. A member of the Low crew that is not driven by emotion. One that is ordered#And I think that would make her threatening in a different way#Anyways that's just my opinion :) Curious to hear what others think!#Red Dwarf#Kristine Kochanski#Original Post

monterey bay aquarium is so awesome i went once when i was 13 and i see her every time i close my eyes literally life changing she kickstarted my interest in marine biology..... its so awesome i rlly hope u can go
Me too, it’s a place I want to see at least once in my life! Naturally though, I’d likely need to plan time to go there twice, I really like to take my time at museums, zoos and aquariums, get a good long look at every tank and exhibit, you know. I know Monterey Bay is big, and it also has so many animals I’ve never seen in person! I’d probably be there double the time xO Can’t wait to see if I fall in love with any specific animal while there!
#for reference my solo visit to the helsinki museum of natural history which i went to every single year since i was like 5 up until covid -#lasted about four hours! one hour for every floor more or less#these were exhibits i knew by heart by then but i like to go through things thoroughly and learn even more!#for example i finally memorised the order of the geological eras cambrian-ordovician-silurian-devonian-carboniferous-permian!#(then theres the mesozoic with triassic-jurassic-and…. fuck. liitukausi in finnish i forget what that was in english)#(aaah cretaceous. the english name is less clear about the chalk)#asks#monstersandhealers

I went to the Spy x Family Exhibition at Tokyo! ✩( ̄▽ ̄)✩
(I gasped seeing the bus hijacking arc :D)
I took some photos from the official book and I’m not sure if it’s “exclusive” (or new) material, but it seems interesting enough that I’m putting it here. (And there’s unfortunately a photo limit of 10 on the Tumblr app.) Apologies for the low quality photos ^_^
The legendary Damian photo! Next to him is a concealed Demetrius. Very interesting because this means Demetrius was planned (or at least imagined) from the beginning right when Damian as a character was starting to form. I can’t wait for Demetrius to debut. It could be soon after the tease! :D
This one is about Eden. The entire school has around 2000 students, 13 years, and 150 students per year. Apparently all the houses / halls have colours (shown in the last column) and Cecil hall is black. Could be useful for fanfiction.
Random Eden kids doodles? Then George.
This is a rudimentary relationship chart and the little scribbles are funny. Interesting how Becky is connected to the Desmonds. And Franky is neutral (although that has been established in canon).
Here’s the exclusive manga for the exhibition! It’s at the end of the book ^_^ (4 pages) I don’t really know what it says but I think it’s about the SxF cast going to the exhibition and meeting the editor and Endo.
Edit: here’s a translation by @yumeka-sxf! Thanks for translating :D
Anyways, the exhibition was a lot of fun! Entrance fee is pricey (1600 yen for a regular ticket) but everything is very nicely made. You also get a Stellar Star pin for completing a mission in the exhibit :D and you can take photos on the chairs from the covers of the first four volumes :D there’s a special exhibit of Endo’s pencil drafts of the first chapter + various notes. Basically everything in the exhibit is in the book you can buy there (it’s not too expensive, I forgot the price but it should be around the price of the ticket aka. 1600 yen).
#spy x family#spy x family exhibition#naoposting#maybe ill write more when im less tired and can post more photos at a time lol#i feel like i sold my soul to sxf now LOL

honestly when i tried to figure out why some fans are so mad at ivypool these days i was looking through avos and. the scene where ivypool apologises to twigpaw for not supporting sending a patrol for skyclan is genuinely very sweet??
i actually saw someone characterize this as "ivypool forcing twigpaw to forgive her". is it crack you smoke. is that what you smoke. you smoke crack?
#she apologises THREE SEPARATE TIMES#she acknowledges that dovewing and tigerheart's situation made her ignore twigpaw's feelings#she reassures twigpaw that this is the right thing for the clans. she tells her she's proud of her & tc is lucky to have her#you guys do understand that to apologise you have to Do Something Wrong?? or is that the part that's so unforgivable?#i am fASCINATED by the treatment of dove and ivy by the fans in recent years#i'm still pondering it but i think there are a few root causes#1) I think a lot of people read oots as kids and hated dove & identified with ivy because of the underdog storyline#maybe this fandom worship of dovewing is kinda part of that? wanting to feel like you've grown out of fandom misogyny?#but i also feel like 2) tigerdove has really increased dovewing's popularity#and i think because ivypool is so staunchly opposed to their relationship people then have to villainise ivypool#3) is maybe too spicy of a take but to be honest#i think people are subconsciously way more comfortable with a woman whose story ends in heterosexual marriage and childrearing#dovewing's mom role in TBC to shadowsight probably helped her popularity#so ivypool whose relationship w Fernsong & her kits is much less of a focus. and is mUCH less maternal#and who still exhibits Ugly Female Emotions like anger and hurt#and who God Forbid now holds a position of authority...#is too complicated to fit into :) she's such a good mom :) she's such a good mate#dovewing is easier to like because she tends to be a victim of circumstances (🤫 and often lacks agency in her storylines)#since ivypool regularly uses her agency to Fuck Up#fans revert to idealising dovewing because not only is she too good to do bad things. she also doesn't do Things in general#never mind that ivypool is the one who sacrifices and apologises#anyway <3 i think if i made a full analysis of ivy and dove post OOTS i would get too many spicy anons so i will cower in the tags

Do you prefer the phantom thieves or SEES?
Junpei can solo all of the phantom thieves minus Joker or Akechi
#jk i know you didnt mean this in the powerscaling way#personally i think SEES has better writing but the PTs are more entertaining to me#the problem is the PTs are written in such a way that their arcs wrap up after the palace or confidant#which means earlier characters have nothing to work with in later arcs. it makes the group feel more crowded#meanwhile SEES continues to develop through the entire story which means no one gets shafted. its consistent and investing#but the PTs personalities complement each other better and it helps that theyre all closer in age#okay tbh there's only one P5R character that exhibits the writing structure and style of P3 and it's Goro Akechi#he's the only one that has *more* to do and more room to grow as the story goes on instead of less#i discussed this w my friends before and we theorized that thats why we like him so much and why he fits so well into p3 fics#Basically akechi is a p3 character stuck in p5r. but thats a whole other post i might make some day#my post#phantom thieves#p3#p5r#p5r phantom thieves#p3 sees#junpei iori#p3 junpei

Play for Today: Under the Hammer (BBC, 1984)
"So. Tell me what happened."
"Well. It was me. I kicked it."
"Any particular reason?"
"I lost my temper."
"Who with?"
"I was having a... discussion about the painting and things to do with the painting with McClaren, sir, and, uh... it got out of hand."
"And you kicked the painting?"
"Yes, sir."
"Instead of kicking McClaren?"
"Yes, sir."
"I wish you'd kicked McClaren."
"So do I, sir."
#under the hammer#play for today#single play#bbc#1984#richard wilson#stephen fagan#classic tv#peter vaughan#michael aldridge#james maxwell#peter bayliss#stanley lebor#robert putt#bernard gallagher#david cardy#christopher fulford#harry ditson#john tallents#jill meager#delightfully drily witty play that's a sort of comedy of manners concerning the people involved in the upcoming sale of a potentially fake#van gogh at an auction house. at the beginning it seems like this might be a kind of upstairs downstairs piece‚ contrasting the lowly#porters who arrange and prepare the exhibition of sale contents with the posh managers and experts who float around inbetween them#that element remains but is sidelined a little to focus more on Vaughan's head porter and one moment of lost control which has far reaching#consequences for everyone. Vaughan is as excellent as he always was‚ a tragic portrait of quiet dignity meeting sheer pigheadedness and#unbending yet naturally servile nature. Aldridge and Maxwell‚ tho‚ are the scene stealers as the owner (?) and head expert of the auction#house respectively‚ a pair of upper class grotesques who nevertheless display surprising nuance and depth as the plot develops#(particularly Maxwell). less politically motivated than many PfTs (not that it is at all apolitical: communism‚ the soviet union‚ wartime#looting and princess Diana all figure into the story) but a genuinely very compellingly told and entertaining play that manages moments#of real sharp comic dialogue alongside a gloomier slant on the inevitability of dishonest dealings at every level

Paul Robalino's presentation on Thousandaires just made me soooo excited to go back to Meow Wolf. The Meow Wolf vibes surrounding his futuristic laser harp were off the charts!
And of course, Nicolae's Pastore's Anomalous laser harp:
youtube
Mr. "I Hear Music From Outer Space" himself would have loved to play the laser harp with his neon fairy friends. Creative chaos at its finest. :')
#thousandaires#dropout#meow wolf#house of eternal return#house of eternal return: the interactive art exhibit I loved so much that I wrote self-indulgent fanfic about it lmao#the photos are all mine but the video is someone else's! I couldn't get good photos of the laser harp haha#there's a laser harp at omega mart too#but omega mart is a bit less... neon techno futuristic whimsy inside#we're going to convergence station next month and I could not be more excited hahaha#that's one of the reasons I'm being so careful to rest now#we're going on a road trip babyyyy#Youtube

Assignments Update!
Hey Doodlers! Exciting news- we're nearly finished with assignments!
After a lot of hard work on our end and patience from you, we're finally nearing the end of assignments. Which is so exciting!! We'll 100% be finished by the end of the day today, and will be sending them out tomorrow, January 5th, since it's getting pretty late for us and we want to be alert to make sure sending goes smoothly.
Thank you all for your kindness in dealing with the delays, we deeply appreciate it. We'll post when assignments start sending, and then post again when they're all sent out. We hope you're all as stoked as we are- go Doodlers!
#updates#info#important#i know we keep saying it over and over but we really and truly are excited for this to start. we know it's taking a bit longer#but hope that it turns out to be worth it to you all!!#(sammy here) my exhibit is bleeding a little more into things than i thought it would and it's 100% on me for not making more wiggle room#but at the same time there's not much that could have been done anyway. so yeah!#the current biggest problem is people maybe getting anxious over having less time and this event becoming stressful for them. which#is the last thing we want because this event is ALWAYS meant to be just. fun.#so we'll probably be making a poll soon asking if people would like us to push back our gifting week dates and by how much#so yeah! just to keep you all in the loop. i know not everyone reads tags but i figure a small heads up is probably nice#since i don't have the time to make a big post rn. basically things are coming and i swear we're doing all we can for this event#even if there have been delays. we're still very passionate. thank you and bye bye

Absolutely hate that I have a general fear of bugs when I know for a fact I used to sit with the cellar spiders as a child and hold damselflies.
#ghost posts#cousin used to chase me with giant grasshoppers so unfortunately never got over that#heckin eastern lubbers biggest horkin grasshopper you ever did see#she’d hamfist them and run at us#I’ve been slowly trying to get over my fears and am better but still taking too long for my tastes#gotta go to an exhibit or something like I did for snakes#I’m okay with the little spiders more or less#but you have to when they’d start crawling all over you when you’d sit down#can still pick up earthworms though so 👍

This could be a stretch given how vague about it they're being but. did someone capture Midnight and Rock???? Did Animal Control snatch up the immortal beings with abilities beyond our comprehension????
[Image ID: A screenshot of a section of the blurb for the upcoming book Ivypool's Heart. The text is in italics. It reads "The cats set out on an arduous journey, facing everything from painful hunger to bloodthirsty dogs. But nothing can prepare them for what they find: a disgusting twoleg den that’s caging a series of strange animals, including two who may have surprising ties to the Clans." /End ID]
#i'm still trying to figure out what this is supposed to be about. like is this one person collecting animals or a zoo situation#i get that cats aren't going to know what human things are but it's not fun to read when you don't know what they're trying to describe#but anyway. assuming that the animals aren't new characters our choices are kind of limited#and i can't think of any possiblities other than them#which would be really cool if that was the case!!! we haven't really seen them in a long long while#although i have to wonder how they would have gotten rock out of the tunnels#especially since he's sort of in between life and death and doesn't get seen often#that would make the zoo possiblity more funny though.#yeah this is just a housecat but he's so fucked up and weird that we're making him an exhibit for shits and giggles#ramble aside i hope this is an actually interesting book and not just a nothing burger to get sales because people like ivypool#like i want ivypool's behavior to actually get addressed for once. i want her to actually change and become less of an asshole to her sister#ivypool's heart#warrior cats

Oh De Minaur won, he seems back in shape and moreover on the run for the finals, i'm glad (even if i have to admit i still was secretly kind of sort of root for Draper, but merely because people keep talking about Dimitrov in the finals and i still believe it's a chimera but i keep being a fool hoping a miracle might happen, and for that ofc it would help if the other players competing for the last spots don't get many results, even if i like Alex and i'd wish for him the finals as well and i kept apologizing to him for wishing him to lose this match, i hope he'll forgive me lmao 🙏🤣)
In the meantime wtf Alcaraz is playing (or more like what Humbert is playing because i know that it's Alex's nickname but tonight i would call hugo "the demon", he's definitely on fire)
#i wonder#tennis#how are you supposed to come back to n.1 if you keep suffering like this carlos?!#i could blame the fact that he's tired but then i'd have to share an opinion#about the fact that you still went to play that goddawful exhibition#look i don't care about the reasons i just hope it's the end of the year#and he'll be able to rest properly and focus more next year#yeah i may be the only italian who doesn't care for sinner let alone for him to be n.1#i'd rather have alcaraz i like more his playing style what can i say 🤷♀️#actually i'd rather have other players on the top but let's be realistic 😅#my goodness this first set was something for alcaraz da fuck 💀#as for dimitrov i'll probably have to hope he'll get at least ninth in the ranking#and hoping that djokovic won't attend since he seems to consider not to#i wish lol i couldn't care less i have never liked him so the less i see him the better

i do think, aside from mercury bias, if bg had been in all season she would have been all wnba, first or at least second. i think people undervalue her because of the rebounding but she is 1000% the worst officiated player in the league, on both sides of the court. so the fact that she's been able to have the performance that she had is incredible, and that she didn't get the acknowledgment really just underscores how much people take what she does for granted.
#i saw something interesting that kim milky basically has her players specialize and so they come out of college less well rounded#exhibit a angel's shooting vs rebounding#and i didn't watch bg in college so maybe i'm totally wrong on this but maybe rebounding just wasn't he job#and then i saw on reddit or something that maybe because she is so poorly officiated she'd get called for too many fouls on rebounding#for it to be worth it#and while i understand the value of rebounding really i do the mercy's problem wasn't that they weren't trying#well sometimes it was but it was that their whole system wasn't designed for it#if you have 4 players on the perimeter to space and shoot 3#you're going to hope they go in and run the floor instead#teams that rebound well dedicate bodies and time to rebounding#and i believe that it was a conscious choice the merc made to not do that#and if you look at old merc games they struggled with rebounding then too#i actually will have more to say about this in the future but the mercury's style of play has lived and died with dt's style for 20 years#the mercury have the most 100 point games of any franchise#and they are responsible for most of the 200 point total scores across the league#ie their fast break and bad defense lol#and while it's not entirely true - she is not responsible for every result they've ever had - i don't think you get westhead's style of pla#to work without her talent and the penny cappie dt trio in 2006#or at least it isn't successful and maybe doesn't change the pace of play in the league the way it did#it's also interesting that if the lottery draw goes differently in 2006 and merc have the first pick do they get seimone or do they stick#cappie? i think they stick with cappie bc they needed a true pg and from what i've seen seimone is a 2/3#and i don't think dt becomes the player the league knows without having a true pg [vs her playing point]#the thing is dt can play point better than most people but i think she plays better when she has someone else there to help#and her talking about oh i should've won mvp in 2006 [when i dropped 40] [lisa leslie won that year]#and in 2014 [best team ever] [maya moore won that year]#you look at the stats and there is for sure an argument to be made there#but it all comes back to post players#and i know wikipedia says maya is a power forward but she seems like more of a 3 sometimes? i haven't watched her enough#but i don't think dt can win mvp in 2009 without that team specifically#which means [and this is my theory of life] that everything happens the way it has to happen for you to end up where you are today

Honestly we perhaps talk too much about people treating Jane Eyre as an Ideal Romance and not enough about the way some readers and critics talk about Adèle
#That is literally a child#A boisterous easily-pleased perhaps a little irritating but nevertheless good-hearted child raised in theatrical surroundings#I understand why the characters of Jane (and less so Rochester) are not falling over themselves in raptures about her#Because this is a story and it's supposed to try to understand its characters not make them Ideal Stereotypes#But I've been cured of my desire to read more analysis on her character by how fucking Weird some of the critics are about her#Once again in Reasons Why I Am Not An English Literature Student here is Exhibit A#reading log#personal
