#WAY OFF THE RAILS LMAO

text transcription:

Many springs ago, I perceived a sea of flowers upon a lake. I thought to myself that those fleeting colors held indescribable beauty.

The next time I perceived those colors was many years later, when the medic’s tent had blinded me to all but red. The radiance of that shining star was lost on my eyes.

Now, my eyes no longer perceive the subtleties in the colors around me.

But I am content.

For I can now see the most brilliant colors in my universe.

anyways yeah why did they fucking do that to jiaoqiu bro

the planning for this experimentalish comic is under keep reading

its very irritating interesting to see a lot of people hating aventurine, like yes hes sly and seems like this rich guy who cares about nothing else but money, but ironically he hasnt really lied to us so far, or screwed us over, in comparison to some other characters hes actually been honest and helpful and at least we know his motives.

also theres the whole 'he was a slave who didnt get an education and his family probably died horrible deaths' thing, and after all that he managed to crawl his way to the top of the ipc ladder by himself, aka the people who (presumably) enslaved him.

like??? of course hes not going to be a warm person helping you out of the kindness of his heart, he (presumably) got enslaved and most people who meet him are racist as fuck like???? what do people expect

also ironic the amount of people wanting darker/morally grey characters and moaning theyre not all Good or simping over TB 24/7

like just say you cant handle complex characters and go.

hey man!! I love your OLD_FOLKS_HOME fic (and your retyrement AU in general). I was wondering if you could give us literally like, any other facts about the retyrement mycologists? I’m very much obsessed with their designs/the small bits of character we’ve gotten so far. hope you have a good day!!

hi there! thanks so much :D really appreciate all your interest!!

your retyrement mycologist fact of the day is... the taller myco doesn't have a driver's license, the smaller one drives them everywhere in his mushroom-themed vehicle that he also does rideshare service with on the side lmao

it sucks how everything has been tainted by patriarchy and as women we cannot do literally anything without it being linked back to patriarchy. like wearing makeup or pink or whatever has been determined feminine by the patriarchal definition feminity, so doing those things means you’re playing into the patriarchy. not doing those things means you’re also playing into patriarchy because it’s a rejection of the idea of femininity, and thus, reaffirms that identifying with feminity in any way is inherently inferior. likeeeee we really cannot win lol… i think a big part of reclamation includes allowing space for people who identify as women to find out what that means to them.

I wonder if Boothill knows how to maintain the mechanical parts his own body...

Does anyone know why Argenti has a new VA 🤔 ?

[rin-hanarin]

Welp, I guess it's time for me to filter out the Veilguard spoilers. I was chill with them for a while, but I'm catching some wild ones I'd rather learn from the game, there's gonna be nothing left by the time the game actually comes out. If only people weren't tagging literally everything including minor bullshit as spoilers.

[trashcanwithsprinkles]

Do you have any Zhongli/Zhongchi fic recs? I haven’t found any that are nearly as good as yours 😔😔

funnily enough someone already asked this, but it was quite a while ago and tumblr is a mess to search old shit thru so here, this is the post this was asked during the ao3 crisis of- .......last year? i can't remember. either way, the post starts w me saying i don't have all the names and links but dw, after ao3 came back up i edited the post so you should see all authors and links in the recs.

i have to admit that for reasons unrelated to the fandom i haven't been reading many zhongchi fics as of late? so like- bear in mind i don't have an updated mental picture of any of the recs after the post was made. so if one went off the rails or if one of the WIPs finished, i'm not aware;; i also mention in the post that i'd add more recs if i had access to ao3 (which i didn't at the time bc it was down), and while that is true, it's been so long since i read any of them that i wouldn't be able to confidently reccomend them outside of 'i somewhat remember the plot and i remember liking it'. also i don't remember half of their names. so uh- yeah that's the list i think

wanted to share an almost full-body pic for the first time in probably almost a decade because for once I'm actually proud of how I'm progressing and think that the changes I'm making will end up being permanent bc I'm genuinely enjoying them. Plus, the few selfies I have shared over the last five years have been very photoshopped and at flattering angles, so I feel like most of y'all don't know what I actually look like. So this is me in my children's theater teacher fit last monday!

I'm 17 lbs down from my highest ever weight, but my trainer thinks I'm probably up at least ten to fifteen lbs in muscle. I'm cooking my own food, eating more reasonable portions, and going to the gym at least five times a week because I want to, not because I feel shame or guilt. And now that I'm working as hard as I am, I'm a lot less triggered by looking at new pictures of myself because I know I'm doing my best. I'm still obese, and probably will be for awhile more, but I'm starting to appreciate what I look like and feel like. And hopefully it'll just get better from here!

so that picture of gatomons egg falling gave me two thoughts. first: wow her shell is sturdy

and second: what would happen if a digiegg was cracked or smashed. i know some were broken in the corrupted village of beginnings but would they be re-reborn? do you think the eggs could heal from a crack or if it would just not matter

I mean for all we know, the DigiEggs could be literally indestructable (until they hatch), the shell is meant to protect the data of the forming Digimon until it is ready to be born after all, so maybe it could be Sturdy As Hell. The destroyed eggs in the Village could've been just a side-effect of the Village's destruction. Like the rebirth mechanic isn't tied as much to the eggs as it is to the Village itself, it is where Digimon data goes to be reborn. So if you destroy the Village and its ability to spawn DigiEggs, that alone could result in not just the end of egg spawning, but also a spontaneous destruction of the remaining eggs. Or maybe Piemon went stomping on the remaining eggs for funsies, who knows

OR maybe the eggs aren't indestructable, and Tailmon's egg just conveniently landed on something soft that broke the fall, or maybe she was a viable baby and just hatched on impact. I don't think she would've survived otherwise, it would make sense if DigiEggs kinda worked like normal eggs; the baby takes it time until it's ready to be born, if it's completely broken before the baby is viable (/the data is ready to form as a Digimon), the baby dies

That said, the data would probably just restart forming in another egg. Or maybe the egg would just start healing, why bother with making a whole new egg shell when you could just reform the pieces of the egg that still remain (if there are any)

best part of today's staff development training was when i got to behave the way i used to in high school (doodling all over my paper, doodling on myself, doodling on my classmate's papers when they weren't looking, trying to get a classmate's attention by being ridiculous, etc.)

[byanyan]

my writing is feeling a little more ramble-y and like. idk, a little unfocused or smth today? so i'm gonna just apologize in advance for anything longer i may or may not end up posting tonight lmao

[breadboylovin]

hiii. let's say i wanted to check out hivemind. which I do. any episode(? video?) reccs for a newcomer :3 and feel free to tell why you like them also if you want!!

oh you are in luck my friend i already have an entire "hivemind greatest hits" playlist that ive been sending to my other friends whenever they ask about them. however you have also allowed me to ramble so please enjoy that down below

my personal picks for the best newcomer vids are:

guess the song from 1/16th second of audio & guess the rapper from the fiverr impression (grouped together bc theyre both quadeca videos): quadeca is a recurring guest on hivemind (honestly he could be a third host at this point) and i think these are the best vids theyve made with him :-) 1/16th of a second has a lot of really classic bits in it and is also relatively short by hivemind standards (a hivemind vid thats under 30 minutes is a real rarity at this point). the fiverr impressions vid is just really funny AND some of the impressions are actually quite good (the westside gunn one is a classic)

guess the song from the genius lyric annotation *2*: easily one of the funniest solo videos on the channel. the bit:game ratio is fucked but its not COMPLETELY off the rails like some later videos. this is also the origin of one of my personal top 10 hivemind bits, "meta girl on facebook dating"

casting rappers in hypothetical movies (with nickisnotgreen): now this one is quite long (just over an hour) which may put off some people. however i think it is one of the best video concepts theyve ever come up with and i NEED them to do it again. i wish graydon's hit coming-of-age movie CLIQUE (starring sza and babytron) was real so bad

guess the rapper from quadeca's styles of rap: legally i feel like i have to list this video in a newcomer recommendation post because of its importance in Hivemind Lore. youll understand if you watch it

honorable mentions for vids i just really like:

best tweets of all time tier list (this is in the playlist but i didnt list it above cus most of the humor is from the tweets theyre looking at. however it always makes me laugh and i put it on whenever im really upset)

guess the rotten tomatoes score from the movie (features graydon's girlfriend eden whos only been in two videos but is EASILY my second-favorite guest behind quadeca. she is fucking hilarious)

reacting to 10 sea creatures i can't believe exist (i just think this one is so wholesome. no bits, no game, just two dudes looking at weird animals. and it obviously appeals to me as a bio nerd)

[elegyofthemoon]

wait im silly its a gacha game of course they'd reveal the characters within the trailers themselves rather than surprise the players when you play it its how they get you 🤭

KNOCK ON WOOD BUT I THINK MY MIGRAINE IS GOING AWAY, I MIGHT DRAW SOMETHING

Or I might write something (glares at this buggycule WIP fic in my drafts)
