Hello to Everyone reading this. With the 2024 Election 8 days away, I hope everyone who is eligible to vote, VOTES! My Great-Grandmother, Sophia Huff-Powless wasn’t even considered a US Citizen in 1891, when she was forced to attend the Carlisle Indian Industrial Boarding School to be assimilated into the white cultlure and only speak English. Everytime she was caught speaking her native language…

Im currently working on some writing projects, so imma give a quick yap session. No spoilers tho, so i gotta be reeeeaaaaallllllllllllllllllllll vague about it.

CORRUPTION

We got a three pov story, told by shark/odin, grey, and jeremy/cerberus.

Its gonna be a horror story.

Since im gonna draw/publish their character sheets anyway I will be telling you all the characters.

We've got Shark/Odin, a 19 yr old non-binary kid, who uses angel/angelself pronouns. I wanna make give angel a weirdcore/emo style.

We've got Grey, an 19 yr old man, who uses he/him pronouns. I wanna give him a more distinguished, fancy fuck look. suit wearer. always styled, his hair looks clean & nice.

We've got Jeremy/Cerberus, a 20 year old agender male, who uses he/him/pups/pupself pronouns. I wanna give this guy a lazy fucker look. He doesnt wear shirts cause he doesnt feel like changing, or is always in sweats and a hoodie type look. never styles his hair, yada yada

We've got Aiden, 18 year old man, who uses He/him pronouns. Im not actually sure what type of style i wanna give, i think maybe a cowboy-ish style? nothing set in stone

We've got dollie, a 19 year old woman, who uses she/they pronouns. Im also not sure of theyre style, probably going to go with a veeerrryy modest style. not sure

We've got freddy, 47 year old man, who uses he/him pronouns. Father off odin, he will be a dad bod haver and very lazy clothes. hes a busy man hes got no time for style!!! single father, demanding job.

POWERHOUSE

A two pov story, guys fight ig man idk?? told by Aztral and Oscar.

In this world they have powers, so ill yap abt those too.

Aztral, an agender alien whos 25 in human years, uses it/its pronouns. My ideal style for this character is a twisted version of inumaki from jjk, but with more foraging stuff. Hes an alien scout, but a specific scout guy who collects plants to be analyzed. His powers include: increased strength, ability to jump higher, can breath out toxic gas/is immune to toxic gasses.

Oscar, a 20 year old deadgender human, uses he/him pronouns. My ideal style for this guy is like- pardon my language but HES A WHORE!!! No shirt like ever, if it is its a workout friendly one because hes a super buff bitch. His powers include shape shifting [because fuck you, my humans do what they want.] and dimensional storage. THIS FUCK FACE CAN STORE THINGS IN HIS TITS. because i said so, pretty boy gotta love him.

Commander Syx [ pronounced six ] some odd aged agender alien commander, uses xe/xem/xyr/xemself pronouns. Just gonna be wearing a uniform. dunno what yet L

Zerum [ ZZ-ear-uhm ] a 23 year old agender male human, who uses He/him/blood/bloodself/it/its pronouns. I'm not sure what i wanna do for him, but hes def father figure type. So im thinking either super lazy guy or another suit wearer like grey. Bloods powers include Healer, can make ppl sleep [ related to being put under for operation ], calming effect on all nearby.

Boa, a 20 year old woman hawk-human hybird, who uses she/her pronouns. A leader, and fucking RIPPED. Very strong lady, body builder type. I imagine her either just like oscar, or gothic woman. Has big pet snake. Her powers include  Talk to animal, strength, Flight

Rowan, a 27 year old male human, who uses he/him/it/its pronouns. LAZY FUCKIN MAN!!! also ginger, because hes rowan. Like, always so sleepy could fall asleep standing. Its powers are Emotion manipulation [ works through eye-contanct ], speed. My imagined style for something is similiar but not the same to that one super fucking lazy guy from seven deadly sins.

Cosmo, a some odd aged agender alien, who uses it/its/they/them pronouns. An alien scout who instead collects animals. Carries vials/ contantment stuff for small animals, and a lasso for big ones. GLOVES ARE A NEED!!! Powers are Same toxic gas/immunity to toxic gas/speed

Nebula is a some odd aged agender alien, who uses it/its/star/starself pronouns. An alien scout who instead studies cultlures. Carries books/writing stuff, and a universal translator. Powers are  Same toxic gas/toxic gas immunity/strength.

ANCIENT

A two pov story told be Ezekiel and marcus

I just started working on this today, i can thank a random tumblr post i saw on tiktok. It was a thing where every language sounds like english to you and when you speak to someone it sounds like their native language & this random fuck gets mad at you for speaking the ancient language.

This is different tho, and i cant yap AT ALL about the plot in any way or its SPOILERS!!! you are left to your imagination. But since i only started working on it today i have got only two characters which are the main ones.

Ezekiel, a man who uses he/him pronouns. I havent thought ANYTHING into his style, but hes a modest guy def. Not like, hellishly modest, but he is always covered. Long sleeve turtle necks and pants, he strikes me as the type to only wear cargo pants [ im projecting ]

Marcus, a genderclock person who uses it/its/skull/skullself. Also havent thought much into this guy, im thinking modest on another level and turned it into big style [ biased opinion there, in love with the style im abt to attempt to described ] he is always super covered, think muriel from the arcana but with a shirt. Cape, harness, also a turtle neck, cargo shorts, hood that covers his head, mask wearer type. like he is HIDDEN, fingerless gloves tho. I hate finger-having gloves so much i refuse to write them.

Anyway! thats all my projects im on rn. If you read all this yapping i appreciate it.

[mlep]

ppl are insane about ipad cultlure ipads arent inherently not good for kids bc like yea they can have stuff like books and movies and things that r fine on them but the problem w the majority of ipad parents is the complete lack of supervision into the content their kids are consuming and the lack of time limits so that they can learn to live without the ipad in their face. yea there r books and educational apps on the ipad but i know damn well ipad parents go to youtube kids and let their actual toddler choose whatever videos they want and watch a million elsagate looking videos and then they go to tiktok and interact w whatever they want and download sus as fuck apps w literal fucking gore and sex and shit in the ads then parents are told abt that and theyre like Well theres nothing i can do! like they cant take away the ipad and actually parent fuck you ipad parents

slams my hands down remembering, suddenly remembering, while reading the profiles i had on the old blog , sombra and fluttershy were gonna ahve TWINS 

[businesstiramisu]

I do lol. Maybe they businesstiramisu-ized it :P

(New Years is in winter!! Okay, there are many different new yearses but the one that has the biggest impact on my life is Jan 1st)

@cromulent – yep, Japanese and Chinese literature both have a Thing about seasons. It definitely is a common enough theme in European art too, though maybe not as much as East Asia?? And I have no idea about the rest of the world, but like I’d assume it comes up?? Because, y'know, seasons are big deal, especially before everyone lived indoors in climate conntrolled enironments

But people like to make fun of Japan for thinking they’re special, because it is admittedly pretty funny how parochial they can be

What do you think of people who enjoy creating/consuming darkfic (and related) without having been through similar experiences as depicted in the text/media itself? So, they enjoy it simply because it interests them, but obviously still are horrified by the discussed concepts irl. They just don't use it as a healing tool, per se?

I think that’s an extremely normal thing to do. The events we like to explore with our imagination often don’t have any sort of direct correlation with what we want to do or to occur IRL.

This ever-increasing demand that we justify our interaction with fanworks that include kinky or problematic-IRL themes with ‘coping’ or ‘healing’ has created a frankly dangerous pressure on queer fandomgoers. Nobody should feel compelled to disclose a history of trauma to justify their interest in dark or kinky themes, nor should people who lack such trauma feel guilty for consuming dark or kinky works.

(& frankly, I think the lives of most queer fandomgoers have been traumatic enough to explain the rather high interest in dark & kinky themes, even if none of the trauma has been ‘major’ for most of us. Capitalism is traumatic. Marginalization is traumatic. & if you feel like you need a reason to like something in fiction that would disturb you IRL, that should, imho, be reason enough.)

things i want to see for Inside Job S2

- Myc and andre shenanigans (drugs, tripping, who knows maybe even they could do a gag where they end up in a spacecast interview from The Midnight Gospel w clancy, duncan trussel would definetly be on board and both of the series are nextflix originals)

- Brett!!! Give me Brett content please specifically his relationship with his family (ik it’s gonna be bad but I’m pretty sure they’re still alive?)(Brett having siblings? Being a good brother?)

- Anothertime travel Ep. maybe this time to the future - Alex Hirsch I’m counting on you to give us something amazing, maybe even slip a Bill Cipher gag in there who knows)

- More pop cultlure references like the 80s Ep with ET that was so funny I loved it (Imagine if we got an episode filmed The Office interview-style)

- Maybe we get an ep. where Brett goes back to his college as an allumi and has to deal with all that he knows aboutt he deep state and how much his life has changed (I’m sensing character development and angst)

- Reagan and Brett being best friends and having their sibling dynamic again pls and thank u

- Reagan laying into JR (please and thank you - she should beat him up with his golf culbs)

- speaking of which, where is JR? 

- illuminati scandel (workplace drama please and thank you, I have high hopes for this new character, Ron)

- Rand getting his fucking shit rocked (I would love to see Gigi making his life a personal hell)

- more info on Reagan’s relationship with her mother, Tamiko (was Tamiko overly involved with the Deep State to begin with? Did she have her mind wiped?)

- Reagan getting back in touch with her childhood best friend Orrin and what the fuck happened to him?

- Anyway I’m so excited for Nov. 18th!!

[opinated-user]

I hope LO realizes the “sub vs dub” debate bleeds into live action shows and movies where people prefer the sub. Literally this debate wouldn’t be a fucking problem if she just said “I prefer dubs cause I can’t multitask” instead of turning it into something it isn’t

this reminds me again to her trying to turn female characters getting haircuts as an misogynistic big isssue instead of just owning up that it's her preference. people only care about her takes on this because she keeps acting like wanting to respect a non western culture is inherently bad, which is frankly the kind of opinion that i'd expect from a white person who insist that immigrants should speak "only american" when living on america and calls tacos an "exotic food." it comes off as just so ignorant and offensive when you think on the implication that you'd only want those respect those cultlures if you fetishize them, not because they have some intrinsical value.

Book Review: The Complete Idiot's Guide To Coffee & Tea

Book Review: The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Coffee & Tea

The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Coffee & Tea, by Travis Arndorfer and Kristine Hansen

While I have had fewer than five cups of coffee or so my entire life, I am relatively well known as a fan of sweet tea [1].  As I had a book about coffee coming out on my blog soon I thought it would be good to pair that book with another one on a similar fashion, and so I found this enjoyable book and thought it…

september 25th 8:06pm

Oh man do i got a story for you today. just kidding my idiot self didnt sleep till 4am this time and didnt get out of bed till 3pm what a wonderful waste of time I totally dont regret... hhaha it was actually pretty nice fell asleep to some new anime. Food Wars is a new favorite for comedy I would recommend to anyone who has seen basically everything on Netflix except the Cuties bs.

Today I did the normal, took the dog out, got food, worked out a little, smoked a bit, and waited impatiently for my employer to give me the green light to go back to work. Man this really sucks its been about 14 days since the incident where they sent me home because they thougth i was exposed to the virus happened. I really am not happy but I really hope they find a medium on how they want to pay me as I would like to be paid of course for the sick days I had from the corona. It is by law they have to do that by the way so dont think they can fire you or anything like that if you were ordered to stay in quarantine. I played. A little mexican music today which I have been doing as a way to teach myself about my cultlure. See for me I never was cultured or interested in it when I was younger. I suppose as I got older that changed I find myself loving the old music that my grandparents or yours probably would have listened to. It’s a huge blessing to be in this generation where streaming services have the power of showing us such different music genres all in one. I find myself liking music and discovering and liking the 1920′s to 1990s music the most of all. Maybe its because I deprived myself of that music before but its really an amazing blessing to have access to these archives of music. 

Today I really didn’t do much I have been for the past five hours as such. I got my first cocktail set up (Old fashioned of course) and had two of those things. Wow what a kicker, I’m not even a drinker one bit so they really hitting me in the good spot right now. I am starting to feel a headache so there’s that. I took the time to discover more music by the legends of music during its golden age like Pedro Infante, Javier Solis, Negrete, Carlos Afonso, Roberto Carlos,
