#Using Tumblr as Intended

As a person with interests ranging from worldbuilding, to animation, to cinematography, to constructing languages. On top of being literally one person with household resources. All of this, I feel, leads to a drive to create something to combine all of them into one big (or multiple smaller) project(s).
specifically, the drive to create animations that have absolutely no sound whatsoever. no music, no dialogue, not even audio effects. more silent than the categorical silent films that at least have a band present to provide some ambiance to the visuals.
How could I convey dialogue in such a film? Captions. but not just any captions. no, I want my films to feel as if they were made in universe. forget legibility. I don't go to films to read, that's what fanfiction is for. If I am to put text in my films, they will be just as stylish as everything else I impulsively cram in. every writing system, typeface, and font will be used to convey the character that supposedly speaks the silent line. whether it be the edgy invaders, spritely warriors, or stationary accountants. And to top it all off, every line shown will have some system of meaning. It won't be asemic, there is a grammar and lexicon underneath that mess.
Sounds. Sounds could be conveyed not just by vibrating the air. it could be conveyed through the soldier clapping a hand over his ear as the giant machine gun next to him goes off. it could be conveyed through the rumbling of the frame. the ripples in the water from a far-off plodding giant. the trembling of an alien explosion. perhaps not as impactful as feeling the engine vibrate through your body via the surrounding speakers. but I have seen enough consequences of certain sounds to draw connections. the fear brought by sirens, the hope by bells, and the dread by chainsaws.
As for music, a more orderly sound or set of sounds. honestly, I could provide a list of recommended songs to play during certain parts of a film (it seemed to work for the old ones at least). but there are certain patterns that convey a certain feeling. music in colors. hearing the drumroll of a rapidly pulsing black-to-white-to-black oscillation in the background. the fade from one color to the next imprinting on me a danger light without alarms. the structural swapping of palletes creating a visual beat. admittedly, this would be the hardest to compensate for in the films I want to make. music feels so natural that I barely notice. but I definitely notice a lack of it.
All of this would be interesting to explore. If I could stop worrying, stop procrastinating, stop wondering and just make the films already!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -
I am fine with "the audience" -
downloading my fics
printing my fics
copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics
sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3
making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss
doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc
I am not fine with "the audience"
doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity
feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.
Enjoy the fandom things.
#fanfic#ao3#archive of our own#fandom things#tumblr things#i may have said this at some point#i'm sure i have#but whatever - just in case#i don't say this with the presumption that i'm so amazing and people are clamoring to save my fics#but just if anyone is so inclined that's all#ftr i don't intend on ever removing my fics from ao3 or deleting fandom things from this blog#i've always shared my fandom things with the intent of keeping them shared bc that's the whole point of posting#but the fandom atmosphere and ao3 constantly being under attack who knows what can happen#not that this applies to anyone but should all else fail you can also reach out to me and i will personally give you a copy#at least of fics bc i save everything#not so much the tumblr things but this is a good reminder to myself that i should do that for the things i care about#that i've made or done and only posted here#anyway sorry i have now used up my quota of the putting words into sentences doing for today#i have plans to stare into the void now

one of the posts on this website that haunts me is the one that claims neurotypicals instinctively know to read faster by reading the first and last paragraphs of an article and then skimming it if confused. I can't even begin to understand how someone would form such a bizarre belief.
#to be clear y'all it was specifically presented as a study hack i believe#not for like. the news#my teacher told us it for academic artilces which have intros summaries and conclusions#My teacher in COLLEGE literally taught us this today. It's a learned skill. for everyone.#also sorry for being controversial i did not expect or intend for this post to get popular#i did change the wording btw to be more clear if u saw a reblog#I said this#tumblr#neurotypical#neurodiversity#can you guys stop reblogging this i have all asks off but i'm getting afriad i accidently stepped on a hornet's nest with them and am about#to get a bazillion reblogs debunking every word i said or somehting#how is this still getting notes

Happy Solarpunk Aesthetic Week and Winter Solstice! ❄️
While we do celebrate here, we don't actually experience winter in my region, or any of the classic four seasons! The weather here is basically a coin toss between searing heat and torrential rain lol. So while I was musing over how to adapt a solarpunk aesthetic to a tropical lifestyle, I came up with this!
Lengthy explanations and chaotic ideas below:
Disclaimer: I am not a science-y person, so I'm not sure how any of these would technically work or what materials would go into making them. Hopefully one day someone could figure it out, but I'm just having fun sharing these ideas for now :)
-----
What works well both in harsh sunlight and heavy downpours, plus is already something that people here use everyday? Umbrellas! How cool would it be to have an umbrella that absorbs sunlight during the day, and turns it into a personal spotlight at night? Or perhaps it could absorb and store large amounts of rainwater, to be re-used later or released somewhere more useful?
My main inspiration for this is the bamboo. This plant already plays a huge role in our lives here -- culturally, economically, and from what I recently learned, ecologically too! Our region suffers from floods often, and bamboo can help to control the flow of water, for example through their roots providing a barrier against soil erosion, or their ability to store large amounts of water and release it gradually during drier seasons. (And that's just one of the many reasons why bamboos are awesome and solarpunky!) I thought it would be cool to have water stored in the 'bamboo nodes' of the umbrella shaft, which could then be detached and used individually, or as components in other tech!
I chose the Amazonian lily pad as the canopy design because 1) it looks big enough to cover a person, 2) it has a wide surface for solar panels to 'photosynthesize' energy, 3) its container-like shape looks as though it could hold rainwater like a funnel while it trickles into the shaft, and 4) it just looks really pretty! Realistically, this canopy might not be able to do everything at once, so I'm hoping for this tech to be modular and highly customizable -- as in, you could replace this 'lily pad' with something else that serves a different function! I did play around with some other designs, here they are hehe
Hibiscus: Our national flower! Have these bad boys growing in my yard so I thought why not. Not sure what functions it would have yet... perhaps the pistil could be a sensor for gathering weather data? Or maybe the anthers are little lights? Maybe it attracts BEES???
Mushroom: Not familiar with the fungi in my area yet so I went with the classic Amanita. Though now I'm kinda regretting because! Wouldn't it be so cool and lunarpunky to design it based on a bio-luminescent mushroom, so it would make sense for the umbrella to glow in the dark? AGH missed opportunities ;;
-----
Anyway while I was designing the umbrella I thought about giving the model a cool fit too, so tadaaa! A customizable pair of pants that can be worn as a shorts + half-skirt/sarong combo during hot weather, or extended to become a full pair of jeans during colder/rainy times! I used zippers as the connectors because they seem easy to sew on and I like the punky vibe it adds to the outfit. HOWEVER, I'm realising that might be inconvenient or way too time consuming for some people. Maybe buttons, magnets or hook-and-loop fasteners would be easier?
As for the shirt, idk that was just for fun. Maybe it changes colour/design based on the surrounding temperature?
-----
So YEAH that was my longer-than-expected idea dump for this week! Thank you for reading <3 If you have any thoughts or ways of expanding on these ideas please please please share them with me I'm just really excited to see what people think waaaaa!!! ok bye stay hydrated
#art#artists on tumblr#solarpunk#solarpunk aesthetic week#winter solstice#no im not late im not I M NOT#fashion#roobiedoodle#tl simmer#i did not intend for it to be her but she looks similar enough! should use my OCs as models more often actually
