I hate how fandom has become "if you haven't created anything in this very specific time frame after the release of the show/movie, everyone will have moved on"

And call me old fashioned, but that's just not me. I sometimes take ages to create and publish. And I will love a show or movie for such a long time (years, babes, years) that I just can't relate to the fast consumerism that's going on.

Because, let's be real, it can get really lonely in a fandom if most have simply moved on to the next shiny thing. Is what's created less worth, just because it was created outside the hype? Why is it such a taboo for this new fandom generation to love an old or "late" fic or art?

It's so tiring and I'm too old for the 30-seconds-hype-tiktok-shit. Just tired. So, so tired.

When Shanks adopted Uta Buggy was very much “this is your project” but she quickly grew on him and soon Buggy was helping here and there behind the scenes.

Froggie Gets a Ring Light

I got a ring light to help demonstrate why people probably shouldn't get a ring light and then I accidentally took some bomb ass photos with a ring light.

Soooo... do what you want. I'm not your mom.

Can we just take a moment to discuss how LADY DEATH told Agatha Harkness no one in history has ever gotten special treatment like her??? Do yall know how long that is?? Death has been around since the beginning of time.

ford: "bill..." "do you think we'll together forever?"

bill: "depends..." "how far are you willing to go for me?"

ford: "there's a simple answer." "to the ends of the universe"

10/10. No Notes.

Thx Netflix for posting Nimona on YouTube (I don't fuck with Netflix as a streaming service anymore.)

Finally got to see it. That was beautiful. Deserves every bit of love/praise. One of the best films I've seen. Fantastic from start to finish.

P.S. Ballister & Goldenloin being *that* gay 5 minutes into the film?? No wonder Disney tried to fuck this movie over. Fuck them for almost taking this film away from us.

One of the gayest animated films out there and it did so without trying so damn hard. It just did it.

Now if neither Spider-Verse nor Elemental win the Oscar, may Nimona win instead.

In which I achieve a lifelong dream, of sitting on the seafloor with a bunch of giant Australian cuttlefish

This morning I checked a major bucket list item off the list: hanging out w/Giant Australian Cuttlefish. They're super focused on mating, and are shockingly chill about people hanging around. I'd heard this was true, but whew, it was wild to experience firsthand.

It's a rare thing for an animal to reliably be found at a certain place & certain time. So often "lifer" animals depend on luck to seen. With these cuttlefish, so far it's been like clockwork. Late May-August, go to Whyalla in winter, and there they are, resplendent and numerous.

Good news:they're reliable + stunning. Bad news: Whyalla is a friggen hike from Philly & the water is a bit chilly (58 degrees F today). If you want to swim with them, you better get a thick wetsuit on and maybe be a bit cold (I was honestly too excited to be cold).

Seeing mating behavior up close was so completely amazing. The males perform dominance displays where they roll black bars across their body directly at another male. It's mind-blowing to see in person. They generally do it with the half of their body facing the other male.

The beautiful word minunthadios, 'short-lived,' is used of both Achilles and Hector, and applies to all of us. We die too soon, and there is no adequate recompense for the terrible, inevitable loss of life. Yet through poetry, the words, actions, and feelings of some long-ago brief lives may be remembered even three thousand years later.
