Do you have any niche hobbies? Like, somwthing you believe people wouldn't believe/would have a hard time believing you do

(Sorry for my bad english! Also, hope you have an awesome time :D)

Well, I wouldn't say it is that weird of a hobby, but people are often shocked when I tell them I like to study anthropology on my free time.

Crazy, right? Sonic the hedgehog, fastest thing alive, sitting down and reading a book about ancient civilizations? So unbelievable 😆

I just find it really interesting. You know, understanding why and how people made things, and noticing the drastic changes society has gone through.. it's so much fun!!

🍥?

🍥 what's your favorite fic you've written? (from fic writer asks)

oh, certainly tangled thicket! before i even started conceptualizing it, i always thought of it as a passion project: the ol 'write what you want to read' mantra, y'know?

from a practical sense, in the past, i usually felt pressured to follow whatever current trends or fics i was writing that were getting the most attention, but in the end found myself overall unhappy with the work i was producing. with lmtt, i took my time in crafting the narrative from start to finish, and then went about at the speed i wanted when writing it.

from a creative standpoint, it just hits a lot of the points i really love! it has luigi's mansion as the focal background, and the beanbean kingdom as its setting—so i could do a lot geographically and culturally—and play around with underrated characters from superstar saga. and of course, writing peasley and luigi's adorably charming dynamic certainly incentivized me.

further, i love revenge plots, fun parallels to mess with (the day i thought of the toxic hellen/boo to the healthy luigi/peasley... art), and lots more! it also includes a lot of tropes i love, with all the drama and tension being derived from probable danger and angst... gotta love it.

i think i will always consider it my favorite project. and it is certainly my longest... and the longest in the luisley tag i think! cool little achievement. c:

Exam is done but the only thing I keep feeling is not relief, just dread

Inspired by the USA states poll I just reblogged! Take this quiz to see how many European countries you can name in 8 minutes :^)

[areawest]

ok I’m trying to see something here

[lesblizzard-ultradyke]

when old I will have my own little art class for kids-teenagers and it will be literally just a small room with a lot of different interesting stuff and also funny silly doll. I will tell kids that this doll is protecting this place and you can bring candies to thank the doll. and also that you can take candies from the doll if you want because this is a very kind doll. and also it wouldn't matter of you spent whole class drawing or chatting or messing around as long as you don't make a mess. literally a place for kids to hang out and make art with friends. and also there wouldn't be boys. and also I hope I will be able to make it free so any kid can attend.

yes this is inspired by an art class I had when I was a kid. there was a doll, too.

Was drunk and bored and getting annoyed at the ridiculous coverage of the US election so I decided to fix the place.

I'm from Australia where we only have 7 states, as such I have the (objectively correct) opinion that 50 is too many states, so I decided to cut it down to 10.

A few notes on my improved US map:

•Despite Illinois making the cut, Chicago is now in Michigan, due to the state getting the entire bank of its namesake.

•Boston is also in Michigan due to special exception.

•New York is now the capital of Pensylvania

•Yes that's how you spell Pensylvania

•The border of California is just roughly the Rockies, no need to overthink it.

•Making Florida bigger actually dilutes it's power, but Texas must be abolished

•Colorado should still be a rectangle, that's my mistake, I just couldn't be bothered fixing it.

•Alaska has been returned to Canada with a hand written apology

•All the random ass islands that the US forgot to pretend they didn't colonise have gained independence

Please let me know if there are any more improvements you can think of.

Edit: As a number of you have mentioned, Alaska never belonged to Canada, and giving it to them would be incredibly wrong when the native people have been trying to gain independence all this time.

Luckily, the apology note got lost in the mail in all the turmoil, so Canada never realised they're meant to have Alaska now. The Alaskans just start quietly self-governing and hoping the US and Canada don't notice, then after a few years they declare independence.
