Did you know that myopic eyes are oval shaped so if your eyes suck you have egg eyes, just thought you'd enjoy this info

I do in fact have the egg eyes thank you for this, friend, much appreciated

Something I keep thinking about is how whenever someone says: “this is wrong and inhumane,” in regards to Israel’s retaliation against Gaza, the answer, for a lot of people, is, “Well, it’s not our fault; they started it!” And like, I cannot begin to explain how juvenile and callous that is.

“Why should we provide electricity and water to Gaza? Hamas slaughtered us! They use Gazan civilians as human shields! It’s their fault if Gazans die!”

You have no control over what Hamas does or doesn’t do. You only have control over what you can do. Yes, Hamas murdered, raped, and tortured Israeli civilians in cold blood; yes, they use civilians as human shields. And yes, it sucks that they’ve all put the onus on Israel to avoid civilian casualties or provide basic supplies. But Israel can’t do anything about that. What Israel can do is mitigate the harm they’re causing. Is it fair? Perhaps not. But responding to unfairness with more unfairness when you have it in your power to act otherwise is wrong.

Whatever harm is done to you, you have a choice in how you respond to it. And Israel is responding to it in a way that is cruel and unethical.

I wonder if Levi killed one of his parents

I definitely think this is a possibility! The fact that Levi is a murderer "without remorse" has always felt kinda weird, just because he feels like someone who would have remorse for his past considering he's trying to put it behind him.

I noted in my Levi accomplice narrative defense that this secret just means that Levi doesn't hold remorse for one killing, even if he might hold remorse for others. It could make plenty of sense for Levi to feel no remorse for killing one of his parents if they were just, like, awful people. Hu even mentions in the Trial that the secrets can be phrased in unflattering ways, so calling Levi a murderer without remorse might just be taking "you did a justified murder" out of context to make it sound worse.

However, there's one major thing preventing me from thinking Levi killed one of his parents:

The way Levi talks about being disowned and putting his family into the past seems to group all of his family into the same category, including both of his parents. I feel like, if one of them were dead and the others weren't, he might give more of an indication of feeling differently about that one person in some way. Then again, Levi has said he usually grieves by not reacting at all, so he might just be like that.

Definitely an interesting theory! Looking forward to the Levi lore in this upcoming episode :)

I wonder how you'd like it if Wendy's blouse collar were in either of these styles?

The third one looks nice.! It matches with her other flowery features.

It may be a little scratchy for her, though...

Steve walks into their shared apartment to a scene of Eddie face down on their surprisingly plush, thrifted sofa. Various campaign notebooks, sketches, and dnd guides left to spill out his bag onto the floor. 

"I'm home!" 

The only response is a tepid "hHh." as Eddie further burrows his face between the cushions and backrest of the couch. 

Setting aside his bag and keys, Steve strides over to his boyfriend. 

"What's that all about?"

The huddled form emits another "hn." 

"Is that so?" 

"mm."

He takes a seat beside Eddie’s head. Runs a soothing hand along the other’s shoulders, fingers splayed wide. Applies pressure with the heel of his palm. 

Eddie melts further, this time with a minor release of tension. The presence of the other already a balm in itself. 

“Does that mean game day ended badly?” 

Still mostly curled ridged and with as little motion as possible, Eddie shakes his head negative. 

“No?” Steve asks, incredulous. “So then your 9-hour ‘Super, Ultimat-‘ uh… shit… ‘Super. Ultra. Perfect-‘“

“sumpoe.” Eddie corrects punitively into the cushion.

“Sorry, so then your 9-hour ‘Super, Ultra, Mega, Perfect, One-Shot Extravaganza’ went off exactly as you wanted. And then instead of napping in our comfortable bed--that you’d insisted on slathering in pillows because you, and I quote, ‘Wanted to feel like you were being smothered by geese and also just like the jumbles of texture’--you chose to stay out on the couch? Do I have that right?”

“mhm. too bright. couldn’t make it.”

Steve glances at the bay window adorning their living room-kitchen area. Thankfully, enough time seems to have passed since Eddie returned home. The sun now set, the room awashed in its final red hues. 

Even still, as Steve manages to coax him to turn over onto his back, Eddie’s face remains tense. With a sneaking suspicion, Steve smooths out the wrinkle in Eddie’s brow and prompts further, “Yeah? Anything else?”

“head hurts. stomach. nauseous.”

Yea, exactly as he figured. 

“Babe, did you eat anything today? During the 9 hours y’all were at the table?”

…

“was distracted.”

Steve sighs then gives a reprimanding pinch to Eddie’s cheek. Not hard. He has some mercy for his ailing boyfriend.

Said boyfriend retaliates with a half-hearted, protesting squawk and grabs the offending hand, cuddling into it and biting Steve’s pinky finger. 

Steve lets it happen. 

Instead he choses to stare into the kitchen, subconsciously rubbing small circles into Eddie’s temple even as he’s nibbled. Thinks over what supplies and lighter foods they currently have. 

Half to himself, he comments “I think we still have some saltines left from Robin’s Soup Experiments last week. That should help soak up the stomach acid and get something in your stomach.” He looks back at Eddie laid across the cushions. “You can take some pain meds after that if you want.”

“mkay.”

Steve goes to stand, except-

“Eds, you’ll have to stop biting my hand if you want me to go get the crackers.”

“nope. mine now.” Another, harder bite is given to the digit. 

“Hey- Ow, ow, Eddie, Eds, stop.” A responding, equally harder pinch but this time to Eddie’s nose, lifting up and extricating his finger as he does so. 

“haaa- cheater. appreciate my love bites.”  

With a snort, Steve walks towards the kitchen and begins to collect his well-used, headache-relieving arsenal.

- - -

Later, after saltines and buttered pasta have been eaten and hot towels have cooled, the two lay cuddled in their indeed comfortable and pillow laden bed. Strong, dexterous fingers card through the other’s curls. Gentle nails along the scalp to chase away any lingering pain. 

“Thanks, Stevie. You’re a true lifesaver.” He snuggles into Steve’s chest just that little bit further. “My brain and stomach would have exploded without your care.”

“Well we can’t have that, you need those.”

“Then I’d never be able to DM another Sumpoe day for the group again.” Eddie untucks his head just enough to look at Steve imploringly. “Then you’d have to inherit the job of Dungeon Master as my next of kin and they’d Eat. You. Alive, Stevie!”

“Damn. Guess I better get to studying then, just in case.” The sarcasm drips off in waves.

Not one to be deterred, Eddie sits up and over Steve in a flash. Eyes sparkling with mischief and new ideas as his hands come up on either side of Steve’s face and grab into his jawbone. The hand that was running through Eddie’s hair now dislodged to his shoulder.

“Steve, Stevie-love, Bunny-bear, you’re so, so right. You need to be my DM assistant for our next one shot.” 

Matching his level of dramatics, Steve presses back into his designated pillow and drapes a hand across his forehead.

“Noooo. Don’t make me do it, I’ll be the one to pass away. I can’t keep up with all your funny little lizard voices.”

“But Stevieeee,” Eddie whines. He leans down so he’s level with Steve’s ear, feels the other shiver as he breathes out before adopting one of his ‘funny little lizard voices’ “I wants it!!”

Caught off-guard, Steve breaks, laughing as he flips them. “You’re such a nerd.”

Maintaining his kobold voice and batting his lashes, “But Stevie, I’m your little lizard nerd.”

“Hmm and damned if that doesn’t make me the lucky one.”

And should the next time Eddie hosts another Sumpoe, he happens to find a perfectly packed lunch with tidbits of all his favorite snacks, well then Steve’s just not ready to accept that inheritance yet.

my (evil) cousin called me out of the blue tonight to chat for no damn reason and it felt like a mini-interrogation, and I have no idea what that was about, but I hated it

Google docs got rid of comic sans a couple years back, I couldn't tell you when. I've seen the comic sans trick a couple of times, and every time I go to try it I remember that it isn't there anymore. it's probably still on word? I just like the convenience of the backed up and saved option Google docs has so I put up with it

Wow I’m surprised I never noticed that they took it off. I wonder what their reasoning for taking it off was?

[secondhand-coelacanth]

hi! you probably wont know me but i just wanted to thank you for a song u shared (exactly two years ago from this ask!) on the tha discord :) i dont even know if your into the life series fandom anymore but whatev! (i dont even know if ur the right person but i vaguely recognise your icon so.)

you shared this demo two years ago called "home is where the coal mine is" about the ranchers from double life we were all so normal about. you said you were gonna scrap it and threw it in the channel for us to chew on.

to this day, it is still my favorite life series fandom song and im so glad you decided to share it in that channel.

i had it downloaded and decided to listen to it today, and shared it with my sibling whose equally normal about the ranchers. she said it was really good you had a beatiful voice and i decided to find the message you sent with the music, and it was apparently two years ago! lmao

not sure why i wrote all this but just wanted to say you have such talent in music and songwriting, and the lyrics was as amazing as your voice and the instrumental. so um. thanks! :)

WAIT I MIGHT CRY THIS IS SO SWEET HELLO ? Thank you so much for reaching out , this means so so much to me and I'm incredibly glad and heartwarmed to hear you still love it so much :'))

It is also bonkers to me that two years have passed, every now and then I do still think about rerecording it (and also the Other life series song i put on hiatus and like . yknow all the other projects that have been growing an army of dust bunnies in my garageband files) or at the very least posting the demo to youtube/soundcloud/bandcamp but yeah life and uni has certainly . gotten in the way of that . tell you what though, i can put the demo here and maybe if there's enough interest that'll peer pressure me into getting all that sorted out for ya !

this version i think is slightly different from the discord one, it's got whistling at the end to the tune of the goat horns for a fun little easter egg ;)

as for whether or not im still into the life series, i am!!!!! i had to put watching the later seasons on pause because of my number three enemy, The Horrors Of Academia, but yeah i fully intend to get back into it when i can. being in fandoms i think improved my musicking abilities exponentially and also i miss going insane i mean being completely normal about characters with equally normal friends

WELL in any case !!!! thank you a billion again !!!!! i hope you have a wonderful day and week and month <3333 !!!!!

i think something people forget about pink diamond is that she had compassion for life long before she went to earth

the pebbles assume steven is pink not because of his gem or aura but just because he says ‘hello’ and ‘thank you’ to them, a basic common courtesy that nobody else has given them in thousands of years

in steven’s pink visions, blue is yelling at pink about the little bugs she let loose on homeworld. when one of them is found in her cell, she is quick to check it’s okay before helping it out of the room. even before encountering humans she valued organic life.

even the garden, the setting of pink’s cruellest moment, is proof of her care for organic life. Unlike every other part of homeworld, the garden is teeming with plant-life, which was kept healthy enough that it continued to grow even after pink abandoned it. the only other homeworld structure that tends to organic life is the human zoo. who’s to say the garden wasn’t another attempt by the other diamonds to placate pink after she expressed concern for the life on one of their colonies? or maybe pink picked the plants herself from the many different colonies she visited and grew them there.

pink wasn’t perfect. she had a bad habit of acting on her emotions and impulses without considering the consequences of her actions, and she hurt a lot of people because of it. but she considered all life precious and worth protecting, it just wasn’t until she had a colony of her own that she fully understood that the expansion of homeworld was intrinsically linked to the destruction of life, and the moment she realised that is the moment she stood against it.
