Really sick of quilting books/magazines that tell you to get a certain yardage of fabric but don't tell you the fabric width they're assuming, not even in the appendix or glossary of terms.
#quilting#45 in is a standard quilting width but so is 32 in and 36 in#especially crazy when you see this in books that say they include patterns for beginners#I'm sorry how is a beginner supposed to just know what you mean#also standards are different in different countries#I could rant about this for ages#seriously I can't remember the last quilting magazine or book that specified fabric width#what the fuck is wrong with these people#putting in those few words is not going to increase your page count#don't forget 42 inches#this is why I usually only look at quilting books and magazines for the pictures#and if there's something I want to make I just figure it out and ignore the pattern#because fuck you I can't with your inaccurate guidelines#weird things that make me rage#if you want me to go on a unique tirade ask me about contemporary quilt patterns or harvest moon by Neil Young#gpoy#quiltblr

i find it really interesting how everything in criminal investigation is glorified pseudoscience
#criminology#huh i don’t know what the fuck to tag this as#but like fucken#blood spatter analysis is claimed to be absolutely airtight a lot of the time#and that it’ll *always* happen in these particular ways#when no!#it has literal thousands of variables.#i could rant about this for ages

Out of all of the people The Ghost King Phantom expected to relate to, it definitely wasn’t the scrawny red headed photographer of the Daily Planet. Jimmy Olsen has gotten so many temporary superpowers over his time being Superman’s friend. Hell, he once gained a 4th dimensional being’s reality warping abilities when he was given said dimensional being’s powers during a fight. Sure there’s a dozen or so heroes with the same amount of powers he has, but none as suddenly granted to them as a all powerful god that can relate to a teenager.
#bones speaks#hi this is bones in the future: below tags I do mean but I was Not Sober while writing them so they may have severe spelling errors#bones prompts#dpxdc#dp x dc#just google the amount of times Jimmy has had powers and what they are. I just read a comic#where the F PLOT of all things is Jimmy getting superpowers and causing havoc in Metropolis. that’s how frequent this is#the all powerful god powers was in a recent Batman/Superman Worlds Finest issue where he got Mxyzptlk’s powers#like guys. there are SO many heroes that have more powers than Danny in DC.#off the top of the dome I can only name a few (in my defense I am Not Sober so memory is Not Good:)#Raven. The Spectre. Superman. The Atom. Batman (temporary powers). Dr Fate. Martian Manhunter#and I could name more if my memory wasn’t shot rn#this is a mini rant in the tags but I’m so tired of the ‘Danny has so many superpowers it would stump DC’#it would for sure shock them. but they wouldn’t be surprised. why are they all so shocked from Danny’s arrival?#I’ve made many posts about how much more interesting Danny simply being in the JL like it’s just another Tuesday would be interesting#so many folks enjoy the discovery aspect of Danny and not the part where he’s alreaady a JL member and is#*isnt OP. it’s so much more interesting to write a character with flaws. make him regular powered and able to be struck down by a Big Bad#and not just his weaknesses. he’s been beaten to shit by ghosts before. the angst possibilities is crazy.#Billy Batson looking at a kid nearly his age get hurt more and more by Black Adam? Fear Gas setting him on a rampage in Gotham absolutely#destroying his perception of what being safe is anymore. Lex Luther finding his weakness and wrecking his shit#it could be SUCH an interesting direction to take dpxdc but no one does. when I write prompts with those ideas they make a fraction of the#notes of the prompts where I pander and have batfam in them. diversity of ideas in fandom is what makes us strong. keep the new and#unorthodox ideas flowing. it feels like you’re swimming upstream but it’s worth it to help a fandom grow

why do people think Yevgeny wasn't Mickey's son? in 3x06 there was clearly no condom used (not that Terry probably would have let Svetlana stop to get one), but there's no reason to think she wasn't using condoms with her regular clients. it's not Svetlana's fault that she was a tool used to rape Mickey—the sole blame for everything that happens in that entire situation belongs to Terry Milkovich and him alone—so why does it feel like it's just another way for people to shit on Svetlana for something that wasn't in her control? it's not as though she'd asked to get pregnant in the first place...
#stop giving svetlana shit just because terry was one of her clients—between him and sasha do you really think she had a chance to say no?#her attitude towards mickey is s4 is very easy to understand when you think about the fact that a) she's his age or maybe a year older#b) she is a person who knows she has to take what life gives her and make the best of bad situations#c) her entire future rests (so she thinks) on her and mickey making their marriage work and he was absorbed in ian (which the audience gets#but svet has no context for) and thus her feeling threatened is very understandable because mickey also won't stand up to his father#so yeah of course svet is gonna see terry as the one person who will put things the way they're supposed to be#but! it's after mickey comes out and he and ian fight everyone in the bar that she realizes mickey could be an ally to her#and she extends a hand in friendship because they're both stuck in this situation and yeah of course she wants him to stop being stupid#about yev—as she puts it “baby did not choose this either” which leads me to think she understands mickey's situation a little better now#but yev looks so much like mickey and has those big blue eyes of his (also evidence for baby mickey being blond)#I get that the whole child from rape thing isn't fun for mickey to have to deal with but women have to go through it all the time—like Svet#okay rant over I'm sorry I'm just...it puts a bad taste in my mouth whenever I see it in fic or meta that yev can't *possibly* be mickey's#mickey milkovich#svetlana yevgenivna#yevgeny milkovich#shameless

anyone interested in talking about the iconic 2000's middle-grade-bordering-on-ya book series gallagher girls??
#okay incoming rant about this series#i read the first book when i was 10 or 11 and i was absolutely obssessed with it. i read it so many times i had the entire story memorized#the issue was that i could not find the rest of the series anywhere. it was either sold out or out of stock#and then i found out that only the first 3 books had been translated into my first language so at that point i kinda gave up on them#anyway#flashforward to a couple of weeks ago#i was re organizing my bookshelf and on the back i found LYKY (is this how y'all are abreviating it??)#and remembred how much i loved it#and since i'm now fluent in english and was stuck at home recovering from a surgery i decided to download the entire series and read it#to find out what the fuck happened afterwards#long story short i read all six books in 4 or 5 days#and i haven't stopped thinking about them since#it's actually so funny how little information we have in the first book#i went all of these years thinking it was mostly a silly series about a boarding school for spies when actually SO MUCH happens afterwards#i can't believe i went all of these years unaware of zach goode's existence#truly character of all time#but also i can't stop thinking about how interesting it would have been if zach had come to hate the circle and his mom during the series#rather than before#make it a true enemies to lovers#and have us witness that portion of his character developement in real time instead of being told about it#like him slowly realizing through cammie and his time at gallagher that maybe what they were doing is wrong#i think it would have been very interesting to read#although let's be real it took me until halfway through book four to trust him and he was fully one of the good guys so..#but yeah i have a lot more to say but these tags are long enough#gallagher girls#okay i just want to add another funny anecdote about my experience with this series#my copy of LYKY has an age warning in the back recomending that readers should be above 13 yo to read it#and i distinctly remember finishing it and thinking the warning was kind of dumb bcs besides a few mentions of death and other heavier topi#nothing really happened#and now i realize it was a warning for the rest of the series not just the first book because jesus fucking chirst everything after

#And this goes both ways#No that’s not just ur cute little guy who’s never done anything wrong in his life#That’s someone who enacts violence on kids just for fun#No that’s not an evil horrible character who does evil things just to be evil#It’s a complex character with dimensions!!!#Like ask me about any of them and I could rant for ages on my head canons and their complexity#the outsiders#the outsiders broadway#the outsiders musical#the outsiders headcanons#Jean has thoughts#cherry valance#bob sheldon#paul holden#marcia the outsiders#beverly jitney bush#beverly the outsiders#bev the outsiders#chet baker#chet the outsiders#trip the outsiders#Terrence dipp#brill the outsiders#Clark brillstine#melvin the outsiders#sergei the outsiders

Yet another ink drawing to add to my collection waaahah! Fought for my life on this one... Everything just kept going wrong!! His helmet is still so hard to draw but each time I get closer and closer!
Juuru looking much more simple in comparison...
Not bad though!!
#super sentai#ink drawing#kiramager#mashin sentai kiramager#fan art#kiramai red#went on a longer than necessary rant today about how i love how attainable Juuru's level of drawing is for young/beginner artists watching#especially in the early eps#i love it so much. good choice kiramager.#i could see myself being able to draw like that at his age and how encouraging that would be for the youngsters in the audience#but......... his... HELMET. IS SO HARD. TO DRAWWWWW#WHYYYYGHGGHHHHHH#If you have an easy time drawing it come laugh at me i wanna know aksdfjalwek#Even my 'I can draw anything!!!11!1' attitude is no match for the kiramager costuming department it seems....#i feel determined to best this challenge i think lakfjalekf#nothing in the show with the little drawing guy is easy to draw lmao#there's an irony in that#i still like looking at this one though eehehe. good job me!#yeah!! positivity!!!!

Anytime I replay DAI and I get to that first conversation with Vivienne back at Haven, I take a long inhale Everytime she asks what I think about doing with the mages.
Like I know my Inky has not thought about this too much. She just knows her clan, but I think about it constantly and no answer I am offered is good enough to assuage my long rant that I yell at the computer for like 8 straight minutes before I choose the Mages Should Be Free line and get the inevitable Vivienne Greatly Disapproves
I love Vivienne a lot, I do, even with the differing political views, but Jesus Christ girlie pop never ask me that question again because I will go off Every Single Time
#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#dai#vivienne de fer#vivienne dragon age#madame de fer#the rant includes major reformation of the circle#the templar order#and the chantry#at the very least for the circles to stay a thing#because i do think they could stay a thing if we just changed like 80%-90% of it#maybe smaller and more numerous circles that just act as boarding schools#kids can go home and actually see their parents#no more tranquils as the funding for the circle#fereldans are gonna have to pay tax dollars if they really think circles are the best way to go about mages#studies to see how long a templar can go without lyrium while still effectively using their abilities and not going through withdrawal#bc im pretty sure that the chantry makes it seem like Templars need a lot more lyrium than they actually do#so they can keep a leash on them#also maybe find alternatives to lyrium for templars#cuz i really fucking hate the idea of them having to take an addictive drug#im ranting in the tags i need to stop#and this is all just to keep the circles a thing btw#the easier solution of course being having mages be free

tmi on dash. tmi alert. but every other day, I have the urge to want to buy a sex toy. but like. I've never owned one, I've never tried one, I don't know what kind to get or how big to get or even if it'd actually like it. or like where to get one? they have cute dildos at spencers but are those even made of something I should be using or is it just cheap trash lol??
#most random rant of all time I'm sorry lmao#I'm also just not really the type that enjoys the penetrative side to things#maybe like once a month when I'm suuuper into it#but it's not really my thing#it's kinda like. you know what I could take it or leave it#I really only started caring about sexy things when I started writing fic bahaha#like before I actually went a year or two without ever doing anything with myself#because I was just like. going through it#and then I saw aki and I was awakened#I feel like I have so much less experience with this type of stuff compared to others my age

Also not Missa art being legit canonically his shinnies. He acted so crow he legit sounded like a crow mimicking human speech being an impatient gremlin as his son wrote. Went so much crow it’s adorable.
Im so normal about them and his crow behaviour with Missa
Even more so when you think about how before then q!Phil perched but didn’t show much other crow behaviours, but suddenly q!Missa’s there and we got a very happy bird
Also just the thought of Missa or the thought of Missa being a safe place for bird instincts for Phil is very dear to me, because like the bird house 100% impacted that, it was literally an emotionally destructive place that I don’t think q!Phil has worked though fully
Idk just the thought of Phil letting his bird instincts go ham with Missa because he feels safe will always be dear to me
#i’m so normal#i swear#I will rant about the birdhouse#and how it could connect with missa for ages#thanks for the ask!#qsmp#qsmp philza#qsmp missa#q!philza#q!missa#q!pissa#pissa nation#qsmp death duo#death duo

Growing up in an extremely ultra religious, cult-like family was a mindfuck for multiple reasons but that doesn't stop unfortunately, even when you escape. For example, see: The overwhelming feeling of boiling hatred and shame for who you used to be.
The angry hatred for the past person I used to be, the version of myself that mindlessly parroted my family's beliefs and listened to their every command, constantly simmered under my skin and invaded my every thought. I was embarrassed of what I used to be- even as I made friends of different ethnicities and faiths, as I listened and explored new ideas and worlds that I never knew existed, as I started the first LGBTQ+ club at my school and volunteered with kids who deserved so much more- there was always a little voice in the back of my head.
"They would hate you if they knew what you were. They would hate the horrendous teachings that were seared into your mind, the things that you used to say and believe. You are nothing but a pretender."
And it is true that my beliefs were bigoted in all the worst ways. It is true that I believed truly heart-wrenching things without a second thought and judged others in such harsh and unfair ways. I told myself that there was no coming back from that, not really. There was nothing I could do to ever make up for it.
Then I remembered that the person who said those things wore velcro light up sneakers and collected finger puppets that the librarians handed out as awards for reading picture books. The person that held signs at pro-life rallies and anti-LGBTQ+ protests had a cherished sticker book and hunted minnows in the creek after school and adored their puffle on club penguin and was really into greek mythology and had skinned knees from climbing trees at recess and knew every Disney song by heart and was absolutely terrified of the dark.
That person was a child.
I was a child.
It took a really long time. Years and years of reflection and distance, but I've decided that I can't hate the past version of myself anymore. I feel pity and remorse, I feel anger- I feel so much fury and violent rage- at what my childhood was and I grieve what could- no, should- have been, but I no longer resent who I was.
I'm not ashamed.
I am so, so, so unbelievably proud of that little kid. For being brave enough to leave the comfort and safety of what I was told was right. For not being afraid to be wrong. For seeking out information and knowledge in a culture that praised ignorance. For questioning everything, relentlessly.
I am by no means a perfect person, I never have been and I never will, but I am proud of myself in every iteration that has ever existed because I know that I have never stopped trying to understand and learn and grow, and I never will.
If you have ever been in a similar situation and feel similar things, first of all: My condolences on your lost childhood. Second of all: Please be nice to that past version of yourself and recognize all the hard work they did to make you who you are today. That person was a survivor and an inspiration. They deserve nothing but love.
#started anti depressants recently. kinda had an epiphany. i can't hate who i was. if i met me now i wouldn't blame that tiny child#for their rancid beliefs or for being dragged to protests. because thats a CHILD. i HAVE met kids in that position and i feel nothing but#pity and anger on their behalf. so why am i holding that version of myself to a higher standard?#i could not have known what i know now at 6 or 8 or 10. the same way that i could not have written a college level essay at that age#but i did what i could. in my own 8 y/o way. i believed in love and humanity and happiness. i was just misguided in the 'hows' of it all#and i am so so so so so proud. of every single microscopic step that i took. every question i asked. every thought that i hid and protected#and pondered secretly at night until new ideas and doubts bloomed like a dandelion through the pavement#and I'm so proud that i chased that doubt. that i asked why why why why until their ears bled and their voices were raw#until their answers stopped adding up. until i sought knowledge elsewhere with a mind dehydrated and malnourished and begging for knowledge#in any form i could get. i just. if i could hug that kid? if i could right now reach out and give that terrified and lonely child a hug?#i would. a million times over.#anyway sorry for the intense personal rant I'm just going through it rn and I'm like.... actually feeling alright#its wild. did you guys know about this??? anti depressants make you NOT depressed??? shits insane fam#irl#personal

From what I understand, Mairon/Sauron never lived in Valinor, right? Not when elves lived there at the very least.
So when Melkor comes back from captivity, running his mouth about some annoying pretty smith and carrying some bright jewels, Mairon feels nothing but annoyance. Like, couldn't he bring something useful from Aman, like battle tactics, or good ideas? And what is a Feanorian, a disease?
And then everything with Celebrimbor happens, and, well. Sauron definitely can't preach to Melkor now.
#I just find this funny#like master like student#being unwell about genius smiths#like it could be at at some point in First Age that Melkor is RANTING about Noldor#like he never ranted before#and Sauron is like 'who are these people'#silm#silmarillion#melkor#morgoth#sauron#mairon
