hilarious that with each new day that passes a new bit of dirt from JD Vance's past gets discovered and plastered over the internet...it's almost as if this is why presidential campaigns have always announced their running mates well before the convention...so that if glaring issues with a candidate came to light quickly there would be time to replace them on the ticket before they were officially locked in...it's almost as if certain things in political campaigns were done for a reason, donald...because the very same critical failures had happened before...but no i'm sure you and your guys attempt to recreate a fantasy version of history while ignoring all the reasons that history was a disaster will work this time...because you are built different and the 10000th time trying fascism will work like a charm...

#us politics #politics tw #i view the MAGA movement like this:#the conservatives have been desperately trying to jam a square peg into a round hole for a very long time #and they keep trying because one of these times its GOT to work! a very long time ago they heard the hole was more squarelike #so if they just TRY hard enough it will work!#failing to understand that the hole has become weathered and changed over time and the solution they are trying #will never work (if it ever did)#and then donald trump comes along and looks at the square peg #lobs one of the corners off and proclaims 'this is a triangle! THIS will work! I am so smart!'#and everyone around him is like 'whoa! this guy gets it! he's a genius and understands the problem! he's our savior!'#ignoring the fact that the peg is not a fucking triangle. it's just a deformed square now #so its still not going to work. and even if it WAS a triangle it still wouldn't work because THE HOLE IS ROUND.#it's the same damn peg but it looks a little different so everyone thinks its a genius solution that is DEFINITELY going to work #so they're all excited! they're FINALLY going to prove those idiots trying different types of oval pegs wrong!#they were right all along and it just took donald trump to see it! thank goodness he came along!#but that's just it-- he WAS just COMING ALONG. he was just walking by and saw an opportunity. he never spent time trying to make pegs #all he did was saw a crowd and took a chance to break an already failing peg even further #but because the people were desperate and it was different enough it seemed revolutionary #and now some of the conservatives--who can still see that the 'triangle' peg isnt a triangle are starting to look around #and see that elsewhere there have been some who have forced a triangle into the center of the round hole #and these people think well what if we ACTUALLY tried a real triangle?#and it does not matter to them in the slightest that it will never be the true solution to filling the hole #they just want credit for solving the problem #and so they are going to back donald trump and when the time is right put a real triangle in his hand #while the people trying ovals are busy arguing over the right type of oval #and once the triangle has been jammed into that hole...well...#it is going to be really really hard to force out #anyway thats a long and complicated metaphor and i probably should have just put it in its own post aaaaaahgh #long story short dont be a fascist triangle alright

the sandhill cranes are back! I got to see some mating displays, which apparently involve tossing things in the air and hopping around (｡>ヮ< )

#my photography!#bird photography #birding #birds #sandhill crane #I went at sunset instead of dawn for the first time (with my camera) and it was so great #the light wasn't great for my old camera but all the people cleared out and it was so serene #and the frogs! gosh after the sun went down they immediately got louder #and their ribbiting echoed off the water and it was wonderful all around me #and when the sun was setting all the swallows got one last meal in #and once it was too dark for me to see for the most part I saw the bats ( ♡∇♡ )#I could hear them sort of fluttering around me #and I could hear geese flying around even though I couldn't see them #it was amazing I'm excited to go again

#I've had the cutest interaction today #So like yesterday? There was this post I saw on my dash that was like “you want to know extra info about museums? Just befriend a–#guide! That way you can also unlock the Secret Backscene” and I was like. Lmao. Who could ever befriend a museum guide I've never–#even personally met anyone who works at museums?#... Well. Guess what happened today #I was following this guided museum tour with a friend and when the tour came to an end I was happily chatting with her when the guide.#Shyly chimed in and was like “is that an Atsushi keychain?” And I was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#And I was like‚‚ omg‚‚‚ Do you happen to know‚‚‚ This one series‚‚‚‚‚‚#And they unsheathed their phone like a fbi distinctive in American movies to show me their fyo/zai background amjdsgawsjda it was SO cute.#They were adorable. And I got so embarassed but trying to keep my cool while internally I was like‚‚‚#Omg the Cool Museum Guide™ is talking with me about my hyperfixation‚‚‚‚‚‚ What is happening #We talked a bit about the manga it was such a nice and sweet exchange. They said they like Dostoyevsky and I was like yeah he's so cool!!!#They said they're sorry about Bram it was REALLY cute (´；ω；｀)#I didn't want to hamper them too much so I took my leave shortly after but I'd actually really like to pay visit again–#when the new chapter is out??#Hhhhhhh I don't want to look stalkery and like go look for them on their job. But also like‚ they looked genuinely happy and as excited as–#I was when we were chatting and I believe in the power of human connections through shared hyperfixations #The possibly funnier part is that then my friend went “Wait you're into b/ungo stray dogs??” and like alright. This is less surprising.#I already knew she likes manga.#What actually left me quite baffled was that... She really didn't know I was into b/sd. When it's literally what I think about 24/7 #Something very similar happened just a week ago. My friend gifted me a manga volume of a series she really likes for my birthday #But when she was giving it to me she awkwardly went “oh‚ just‚ it features romance between two guys. I hope that's okay with you...”#And I internally had to pause and realize that no.#In fact most of the people I hang out with don't know I spend half my time curating a bl focused blog.#It's just funny in a way? I got so used to concealing my hyperfixations I didn't even realize I actually got quite good at passing–#for someone who is normal about stuff.#random rambles

Some creatures are more difficult to perceive than others

#Treecko #skitty #dusknoir #chatot #pokemon doodles #original art #context: I’ve said this before but explorers was the very first pokemon game I ever played #I wasn’t watching the anime then so it was also the first time I ever saw a dusknoir #And for whatever reason I just couldn’t quite….comprehend what he was supposed to be #Thought he was some kind of robot until he did his ghostly disappearing act #Definitely a fun game to play when you know nothing about pokemon!#Everything was so new and exciting! And you don’t know what anyone looks like until you meet them!#The other thing in a similar vein was with dialga #I didn’t know what dialga was SUPPOSED to look like so when they’re all talking about how fucked up he is I was like damn #He DOES look pretty fucked up. Some kind of beast #And then after fixing time you see he looks THE SAME except with a palette change #Like oh. i see. That’s just what you look like #Dialga should’ve got a special form tho #Maybe something replacing the steel type with ghost #Bc without time he’s technically not alive #And I read somewhere the steel typing might’ve represented the steady nature of time or something #So with time being stopped it’s not flowing so steadily huh #This wasn’t supposed to be abt dialga tho. Get your own post #ANYWAY dusknoir is a weird looking guy especially when you’re not quite sure what you’re looking at #but he is canonically handsome so do with that what you will

can’t think of anything to say other than it was everything I could have ever expected and wanted and hoped for. seeing them perform truly is an electric experience and I am so, so grateful I got to be there. I’ve never felt such overflowing joy and love in one room before and that truly is down to what a one-of-a-kind group Starkid is. I’m so happy and a little emotional that it’s over but like it’s sung in days of summer, “don’t wanna see you go but it’s not forever, not forever” ⭐️💜

#Starkid #starkid innit #star rambles #don’t really get Emotional and or Sincere on tumblr but I needed to put these feelings SOMEWHERE #and gods the Starkid community is amazing #I saw so many mind blowing cosplays and met so many kind and excited people like me #it was really beautiful to see a theatre full of people bound together by our love for this group #I got v emotional when they closed the show with gotta get back to Hogwarts #and Clark asked us all to sing for Darren #truly like. hearing everyone get the lyrics and the timing and the notes right just bc we all care about this so much..gods #that’s something incredibly special and I’m v grateful to be a part of it #also they performed our doors are open AND back on top AND a new rogues medley so that was thrilling for me personally #AND SIDEKICK #AND SPICE GIRLS’ WANNABE #like holy shit they gave us everything we wanted and MORE #really and truly a once in a lifetime experience for me #like hopefully I get to see them live again but hey #if I don’t??? then I have these memories that are so joyful and vibrant #yeah. it was totally awesome 🤘

Thinking about how in the midst of the hostility currently directed at Amethio in-universe, Friede still remains the only one so far who expressed joy at his presence..

#that's his rival!!#i wonder if amethio notices the hostility or even cares about it #i guess he doesn't because he is just focused on trying to do what he can for gibeon #still it's a bit sad :/#being considered as getting in the way or a nuisance etc.#he has subordinates but it's still more of a professional relationship #a sense of distance there...#zir and conia are always glad he is safe of course but the hierarchical nature of that dynamics still stands in the way etc #that's why it stands out to me that friede got to express open joy and excitement at a few different points #about amethio being there at all (like in ep 45)#and being the only one so far too #(liko is still wary of him for good reason)#friede was so happy he found a rival on his level :(#it's cute when he gets to show these sides of his character...#i wonder if amethio saw a bit of spinel in friede in the first chapter?#we know spinel taunts amethio when he gets an opportunity to do so #and friede had this slightly teasing side too (but no ill will)#since i got the impression that amethio was projecting a lot of things onto friede at the beginning #(which was funny)#(the way he took things in the worst possible way etc)#anyway!#i really like their rivalry tbh #it's genuinely so compelling #for what it brings them both as characters #and how it relates to wider themes etc #character notes #episode notes #hz064

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR BATMAN AND ROBIN (2023) FANS!!!...he eat a burger [ID in alt]

(taken from Nicola Cizmesija's insta, who's on art for B&R issues #5 and #6)

#ramblings of a lunatic #batman and robin #damian wayne #dc comics #''ladel are you gonna get obsessive about the character again and hunt down any and all official art of them-'' no what makes u say that #nikola cizmesija was the artist on the recent red hood gotham wars tie-ins btw! same colourist as those issues too #...idk how much dc tumblr is actually in to the production side of comics. i know i am but i have a feeling that's not universal #anyway i actually really like to know the individual artists colourists and inkers on stuff if i can it's fun!#anyway i quite liked the art in those red hood issues so i am :] excited for issues 5 and 6!#there was also a cover(?) defs done by cizmesija that has damian and bruce in like underwater batsuits? like they're wet suits #and they're fighting orca on it! and cizmesija mentioned getting to design new suits so! it seems like we're getting an underwater adventure #for that arc at least! the writer joshua williamson said that he's trying to focus the structure more around shorter arcs this time #so it seems like in the shorter breather arcs we might get little artist changes to break it up?? neat imo #i like a book w consistent art if I'm really vibing w the art but i get that a lot of ppl have mixed feelings on di meos art for b&r #so I'm interested to see what the reception will be to cizmesijas when it comes out in...i think January? same month as the annual #i saw a solicit that said the art for the annual was by Howard Porter but i could be wrong #god this got way off track. ANYWAY! he eat a burger #(also williamson has said before that damians a vegetarian so I'm assuming it's a veggie burger)

northern lights over my house and barn btw ✨️

#never got to see them before!!!!#was so cool #i was planning to go out and check but i wasnt even ready to do that when i went outside for a different reason and saw them #it happened earlier than predicted then never came back #so if i had waited to check then i would have missed them #it was actually visible to the eye just not as vibrant as this #i called my mom and brother out to see and it was super cool #we stood out freezing and watching #anyway rip if u missed them i feel ur pain bc i always get excited when there's a chance then miss them #and there's very rarely a chance in my area #its like twice a year maybe but i ALWAYS miss them #never got to see them before #northern lights #aurora borealis #this has been a shitpost

completing the 2.2 trailblaze mission gives you new daily text messages from aventurine if you have him.. 🥹 so you're Not just left with his scheduled post-suicide-attempt farewells. and it's a really nice conversation too. he plays it off like a game buuuut he loses on purpose every time so really he's just opening up of his own volition

(i'm still alive, and i'm happy about that 🥹 his conversation with acheron really left a profound impact on him oh my godddd)

aventurine... of all people... reaching out and talking so honestly about what happened and how it affected him... and seeing a therapist of sorts (bit of an oversimplification but that's basically what the doctors of chaos do so like). sometimes all you need to start learning how to value your life again is to uhh ..literally get cut in half

#ALSO! MY AVENTURINE STELLE FRIENDSHIPISMS #they're real.#he trusts her quite a lot it would seem huh. despite everything #they have a chance to be friends for realsies now and he seems to actively want that and that makes me so happy #go dumpster diving with her kakavasha. you'll have fun #honkai star rail spoilers #I'M SO GLSD HE'S BACK FOR REAL BTW #i got so excited when i saw him in the fake-out and then he started talking about the ipc's deal and i was like ?#and realized jt wasn't real. and i was miserable #BUT THEN HE'S ACTUALLY FOR REAL BACK 🥹#thank you argenti (??????? god i wish that hadn't been off screen. i bet they had the funniest dynamic in the world)#i think once he and boothill get talking they'll get along. boothill's a pretty amenable guy even though he likes to say hello with his Gun #so that'll be fine #they have a lot in common after all. in terms of the ipc fucking them over forever #i wonder if there will be any other texts from aventurine... guess i'll find out in like 40 minutes when the day refreshes
