This is your random reminder that your local library likely has a free app (or multiple!) where you can download all kinds of goodies for free. Books, audiobooks, movies, music, television shows, magazines, the list goes on. All free and you don't even have to leave the house to get them. I have borrowed and read like 200 books the last couple years from mine and didn't pay a dime. It's awesome. Go get your library app now!

#forever mad that my local library does nothing to promote the best service they offer #i have now done more advertising for them than they do #oh well #the apps are great #10/10 highly recommend

The Analog/Digital Horror Recommendation Post

A lovely follower of mine asked for recommendations on Analog Horror series to watch since I mentioned I'm a big fan of the genre. I figured it would be best to just make a big post about it all!

This post will be split up into three sections: 1) Direct links to Analog/Digital Horror series with series that I have actually engaged in being in red bold 2) Links to analog horror commentary Youtube channels that do a great job of breaking down and explaining series because they can get kinda confusing 3) Some particular series breakdown videos I highly recommend.

Direct Links to Analog/Digital Horror Series

i feel like. the more i like and care about something. the less i am capable of watching video essays about it. game i never heard of and don't intend to ever play? sure i'll watch 8hrs discussing it's flaws.

but thing i like? if you think you can point out flaws i'm not already aware of, you are dead wrong. none know better how much my interests suck than me.

and also. if you get one thing wrong about them i'll maul you. with things i like it means i've already seen every single piss on the poor take of it ever, and i'm much more polarized. i got emotional investment. i'm going to start biting people.

#feli speaks #i keep getting recommended video essays about fe fates #like. bro. bro i KNOW #i know the story is best enjoyed when you build a mind palace of headcanons #i know the supports vary wildly in quality #i know the localization discussions. i know the gameplay discussions and how the pair up system is peak #or worse yet. engage video essays. shut the fuck up. i already know everything #of course the solution is to just NOT watch them and i DONT #this is inspired by how i did click on one but clicked off 40seconds in because the moron just HAD to get the jab in at engage #you're trashing engage in a FATES VIDEO??? when being an engage defender is what made me give fates a shot in the first place??#like are you out of your mind. fates and engage are brothers in arms

drawing your favorite guys being silly is very effective at keeping The Horrors at bay

bonus doc from a different canvas:

#back to the future #bttf #bttf fanart #marty mcfly #doc brown #emmett brown #kit does an art #yeah i have ten million other things i should probably be drawing instead (rip askbox left to dry...) but #sometimes you just need to draw your favorite guys giving each other physical affection. actual health benefits from this. would recommend #was feeling The Horror beforehand and then i drew them hugging and suddenly The Horror was gone! scientifically proven [citation needed]#the one where doc picks him up and spins him around makes me unreasonably happy i love being an artist!!!!#some of the other little doodles were just bc i still had the doodle bug but didn't want to commit to another big drawing haha #when in doubt give them the dotdotdot expression #the first drawing is based off of this gifset i saw of mjf jumping into other people's arms #good gifset. will need to look for it again. that man can jump #it's also a redraw! i drew the same thing when i first fell into this fandom hole #but that was before i knew how to draw them 100% so i never posted it haha #i love their stupid antennae. especially docs. he can go ! and ? and sometimes <3 it's so funny to me i love that thing #the one where he's sending radio waves to marty is soo stupid i keep laughing when i look at it #'marty. do not listen to that guy call you a chicken. stay calm' 'shit the signal's weak he didn't get my message'#tag as ship and a plague of locusts will be upon ye.#and yes. they are invasive and WILL wreak havoc on your local native wildlife

Sephardic Jews from Thessaloniki in their traditional costumes, in the city’s old cemetery, before the war // a contemporary photo that shows where the destroyed cemetery once was, which is now Greece's largest university, built partially on top of and with land and materials (particularly tombstones) stolen from the razed site.

Thessaloniki or Salonika, once referred to as “the Jerusalem of the Balkans” due to its Ladino-speaking Jewish majority, saw roughly 96% of its Jewish population murdered during the Holocaust. This mass destruction extended to the city's Jewish cemetery, which had been the country's largest, established in the 15th century and housing hundreds of thousands of Jewish graves until its razing by city authorities who had long desired to repurpose the land and resented the inconvenience of Jewish presence. Despite its large-scale destruction during German occupation in 1942, which was initiated and carried out primarily by Thessaloniki authorities with Nazi consent and arrangement, some parts of the cemetery survived intact as late as 1947. Many tombstones were subsequently appropriated and used by city authorities and the Greek Orthodox Church. After the war, people were still carrying away Jewish gravestones each day and regularly looting the cemetery in search of valuables. The city's officials, led by their mayor, completed the cemetery's destruction and sold the tombstones to contractors for use as building materials in various projects; as such many were and are still found in various walls, roads, structures, and churches around the city. A 1992 commemorative book pictures Greek schoolgirls playing Hamlet with skulls and other bones they found in the cemetery.

“[T]he ‘rape’ of the cemetery escalated, marble flooded the market, and its price plummeted. Jewish tombstones were stacked up in mason’s yards and, with the permission of the director of antiquities of Macedonia and overseen by the metropolitan bishop and the municipality, used to pave roads, line latrines, and extend the sea walls; to construct pathways, patios, and walls in private and public spaces though out the city, in suburbs such as Panorama and Ampelokipi, and more than sixty kilometers away in beach towns in Halkidiki, where they decorated playgrounds, bars, and restaurants in hotels; to build a swimming pool – with Hebrew-letter inscription visible; to repair the St. Demetrius Church and other buildings...” Devin Naar, Jewish Salonica: Between the Ottoman Empire and Modern Greece

Most of the efforts to return found tombstones throughout the city are led by Jews, particularly Jacky Benmayor, the curator of the Jewish Museum and last Ladino speaker in Greece, who has personally recovered hundreds of tombstones including his own family's. Surviving Greek Jews never received compensation for the confiscation of the land under the destroyed cemetery, upon which now partially rests Greece's largest university, Aristotle University, which also used Jewish gravestones as building material for its long-coveted expansion finally made possible by the dispossession and annihilation of the city's Jews. In 2014, 72 years after the cemetery's destruction and appropriation, a small memorial was established on campus grounds to acknowledge the Jewish cemetery the school is built on and with; the ceremony just 10 years ago involved the first-ever acknowledgement of the atrocities and apology from a Thessaloniki mayor. The memorial has been vandalised multiple times since its establishment.

#jumblr #jewish #jewish history #jewish photography #sephardic #holocaust #salonika #my posts #greece #don't feel very coherent about this one. doesn't a country's biggest university being built on and with jewish graves just say it all #72 years of silence and then a small memorial subject to frequent vandalism btw #this is the 'compensation' greek jews got #from an annihilation that didn't even spare the dead. a near-total obliteration of life and memory #the memorial pisses me off a little bc it's deliberately vague about very key local participation in these atrocities #reading it you wouldn't know they were mostly driven by local authorities; just facilitated and finally made possible by the nazis #but I do think about what it says a lot:#'but people were not enough. they wanted to kill the memory too.'#and wasn't that true? of both nazis and neighbors?#I really recommend devin naar's work for anyone further interested in this subject

For those wondering about my deeply violent descent into Kn8, the series is, essentially, Shonen Genre Pacific Rim Fanfic with:

A Shonen Protagonist in his early 30s who is also a monster shapeshifter

Intergenerational friendships that are presented in a positive and interesting light

A different exploration of the “drifting with a Kaiju” subplot

Very, very little fanservice from the women in the cast and (at time of writing), no focus on romance

Strong undertones of mutual kindness and camaraderie

A villain with really strange motivations

It oozes sincerity and does not try to mock or deconstruct either its source material or its genre. It’s a deeply earnest rework of the ideas presented in Del Toro’s original film with a heavy Shonen flair and less mecha.

In short, it feels like it was custom-written for me.

#kn8 #kaiju no. 8 #pacific rim #if you are like me #and enjoy all of those things #this is an immediate recommend #imo the anime feels gorier #so sample the manga first if you are sensitive #most of the genre awkwardness in terms of comedy and fanservice is localized to the literal first two chapters slash episodes #also the manga art? delicious

im gonna start posting fanfic recs btw whenever i find good ones. both here and my (awfully barren) 18+ account. because there are so many good fics out there with so few hits and fewer kudos and sometimes no comments period and it SUCKS because i REALLY LIKE THEM A LOT.. and i hope that by linking them here and yelling at everyone to COMMENT DAMMIT they might actually do it

seriously though any comment means a lot. most people who read a fic don’t even give a kudos. even if the fic wasn’t top tier, if you didn’t dislike it, hand over some kudos!! and if you liked it, comment!!!! even if the comment is one singular heart emoji it will be appreciated. if the comment just says “great fic!” the author will be happy. your comment doesn’t have to be this long winded gushing or analysis.

so many authors quit writing or lose motivation because the comments are few and far in between or just sometimes nonexistent. trust me when i say authors don’t care about how long or cool or smart sounding your comment is i promise!!!

i hope that mmmaybe recommending fics and telling people to comment might help fics i really like get more support maybe. and i, points at you reading this, hope that you will listen!!!at least a little….at least sum kudos….

#if u have the ability to reply to my reblog saying how much you loved the fic i recommended comment on the fic itself so the author can see!#especially since the rise of ai writing and seeing ai fics out there can be disheartening #make sure you let your writers know you appreciate them #you never know they might one day write a sequel bc your comment touched them #or might get the motivation to make more works.#(but don’t just comment bc you expect something out of it btw. sometimes the author might be too intimidated to reply ive seen that before)#im a huge yapper. if you can’t tell. lmfao.#and i mostly comment on guest. like 99% of the time because the fics are either really embarrassing #or i get nervous about them knowing me/finding my tumblr and thinking im cringw #bc i admire authors so much. and I get that nervousness! given I experience it!!! but guest mode EXISTS!!! most work allows you to comment #on guest mode!! the author CANT see the email you use for it!!! the only reason they even ask is to give you notifs if theres a reply to it!#a comment is still a comment even if on guest or an alt or your main #even if the fic is embarrassing shameful depraved smut you can log out and comment on guest. even if it’s embarrassing #because the author still worked HARD. it’s so hard to write. people don’t give enough credit to fic authors who do it for free #i had an account (now super abandoned) that had over 400k words. and that didn’t include wips #i reallg do struggle to write because i took a break for so long!!! i can write but not nearly as much as I used to!!! and it sucks!!!#support your authors guys. 1k words is an hour for the first draft at MINIMUM and another hour for revision and editing. and people get #pissy if a fic chapter is less than 3-4k words for some reason. that’s 6-8 hours of work at MINIMUM. likely so much more because there’s #also plotting and brainstorming and So. Much. Editing. stressing out over words and sentence structure. it takes so much time out of your #day. the only oneshot i have posted on this account is 2460 words. and it took me SEVEN HOURS #seven hours!!!! that’s a lot!!!! and for authors that have school or demanding jobs that kind of time is hard to come by!!!!!#and I hope i have convinced at least one of you to listen and go okay you know what. i will. because even if it’s a silly comment it’s loved #tldr support your local fanfic authors of you will be so stabbed. by me #fanfiction #fanfic #archive of our own #ao3 #comment on fics #wick fic recs #that’s the rec tag btw. wow custom tags AGAIN i know. im doing what i thought i never would

Videogames can be so funny with the impact they have.

In Mask of the Rose Milton recommends a book – which is a real book by a real author, because @failbettergames are well-read nerds – and I want to tell Tumblr about it because y'all would get a kick out of it, but I can't because Milton told about it to me in an intimate moment, and I don't want to let you in on such an intimate moment, at least not yet.

Like, I understand perfectly well that this is a script, it's a story, anyone playing the game and making the same choices will get this dialogue out of Milton. But i don't care, it's still too intimate for me.

It's kinda like how I still mourn all the characters on Spiritfarer.

#mask of the rose #milton #failbetter games #my local library system has the book so i will reserve it and read it at some point #because milton recommended it and i love milton

Every week or so I start getting algorithmically promoted a new handful of Harry Potter fan accounts and every time I see them I click "hide all content" and block the account and I'll have like two days of peace before whatever cruel mathematics the whole ungodly system operates upon decides not that I fucking hate seeing Harry Potter content but rather that I need to be shown Harry Potter content in ever more niche and annoying subcategories. We started at shit like "Potter Forever" and have continued to dig. Today was "Harry Potter Baking Appreciation" and "Potterhead Lego Display" and I can only tremble in dread of what I'll end up with next week

#the only thing i still have Facebook for is local community updates + trans support group #and i barely even see those posts any more in between the absolute Slop of 'recommended for you' misogyny queerphobia racism and disney
