I was trying to find art references for characters with noses like mine and I could only find some masculine characters or elderly/ugly characters (idk why they always give elderly people bigger noses?? Also whenever they want to signal an ugly evil character they have a big nose. Not saying elderly people are ugly). There are maybe 2 anime girls that have a big nose, and neither of them are hooked/roman like mine.

This is why I never take pictures from this angle. Society has taught me my nose is ugly. My nose isn't cute or feminine, and is only attractive if I present masculine. I used to get made fun of when I was younger as my nose looked even larger on my little kid head. I'll admit I've considered getting a nose job, which I know is looked down upon here but there's so much pressure especially with Instagram and TikTok and face filters and editing and all the makeup tutorials show tiny cute noses or it's all about hiding your big nose before you get work done. It makes it so hard to see myself as cute and causes a lot of dysphoria when I want to present feminine.

I wish I could like my nose and believe people when they tell me it suits my face. Even all the positivity posts I see for big noses never have one that looks like mine.

I get excited when I see triangle noses on characters and I love the animal crossing nose! But with new horizons everyone uses the rounded nose now cause it's "cuter".

Idk what the point of this post is and I might delete it later. I'm just sad after looking through so many images of femboy aesthetic pictures and TikTok makeup tutorials and drawing references.

tell ren to turn his location on👉👈

I saw one of the posts of how ren does get jealous of pets being loved over him and alll that so now I have the thought of the one meme of ‘ah yes, me, my partner and their [enter normal pet size] foot [pet]’

I don’t have anything else, it did pop into my head though and I thought I’d share with the class.

⌞♥⌝ ItsNotVivy on Twitter actually made that exact meme with Ren a looong time ago!!

oHO the complete cross-section image of the jedi temple. the leftmost corner is cut-off in the actual book. it's not really anything new but i demand completion if the completion has already been achieved.

the room of 1000 fountains is supposed to be seven storeys tall (the lake level is five) & the way the cross-section sets it up is that the arcade that goes around the entirety of the temple (as can be seen in the whole cross-section) is also seven storeys tall. which works. it works with how the main entrance is seen in the films.

*sigh* thoughts on Nintendo's botw/totk timeline shenanigans and tomfoolery?

tbh. my maybe-unpopular opinion is that the timeline is only important when a game's place on the timeline seriously informs the way their narrative progresses. the problem is that before botw we almost NEVER got games where it didn't matter. it matters for skyward sword because it's the beginning, and it matters for tp/ww/alttp (and their respective sequels) because the choices the hero of time makes explicitly inform the narrative of those games in one way or another. it matters which timeline we're in for those games because these cycles we're seeing are close enough to oot's cycle that they're still feeling the effects of his choices. botw, however, takes place at minimum 10 thousand years after oot, so its place on the timeline actually functionally means nothing. botw is completely divorced from the hero of time & his story, so what he does is a nonissue in the context of botw link and zelda's story. thus, which timeline botw happens in is a nonissue. honestly I kind of liked the idea that it happened in all of them. i think there's a cool idea of inevitability that can be played with there. but the point is that the timeline exists to enhance and fill in the lore of games that need it, and botw/totk don't really need it because the devs finally realized they could make a game without the hero of time in it.

Shiv: Bark scorpion

Tom: American Cockroach

Zoro isn’t dumb he’s the one who figured out how to combat Bon Clay’s devil fruit, he’s the one who saw through Braroque Work’s façade and stayed alert throughout the night, he’s the one who kept his cool and helped guide the crew when Robin disappeared and Usopp left them, he’s the first to sniff out traps like in Thriller Bark, he’s the one who can always rationalize and assess the level of threat the SHs are facing and point out where their priorities should lie, he’s the one who always starts a fight with several strategies and starts writing them off one by one the more he learns about his opponent.

Zoro’s an idiot when he was dying via being turned into wax he decided to fucking pose so he’d die looking cool, he got lost on a literal straight path and just stared at the ocean in shock, he amused himself by imitating tarzan st Skypea, “They told me to go North so I started climbing”, he is in so much debt he owes Nami his entire ass at this point, he decided training shirtless in below freezing temperatures was the best idea of all time, he arrived first to Sabaody and began ranking his crew in order of arrival. Do you get it?

I read this post and got really surprised of how many authors were so salty (to not say worse things, GRRM made me disgusted) about JKR’s success. In this context, what do you think about Ursula K Le Guin’s opinions of JKR? Those always sounded to me like a bit of envy.

It's definitely envy, as well as misplaced ego, and i think subconscious misogyny even if she wouldn't have liked hearing that. For context i'll put the quote of hers about Rowling below:

[…] What’s the difference between being influenced by a body of work and admitting it, and being influenced by a body of work and not admitting it? This last is the situation, as I see it, between my A Wizard of Earthsea and J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter. I didn’t originate the idea of a school for wizards — if anybody did it was T.H.White, though he did it in single throwaway line and didn’t develop it. I was the first to do that. Years later, Rowling took the idea and developed it along other lines. She didn't plagiarize. She didn’t copy anything. Her book, in fact, could hardly be more different from mine, in style, spirit, everything. The only thing that rankles me is her apparent reluctance to admit that she ever learned anything from other writers. When ignorant critics praised her wonderful originality in inventing the idea of a wizards’ school, and some of them even seemed to believe that she had invented fantasy, she let them do so. This, I think, was ungenerous, and in the long run unwise.

Two things here:

First, like others, Le Guin apparently couldn't fathom that someone else might have come up with a similar concept as she did all on their own, without having ever read her books. It's worth noting that AWoE was published in 1971 in the UK, when JKR was already 6. While it was praised by critics on release and moderately successful, you could hardly have called it a classic. I mean, it's not like Brits don't have an entire genre dedicated to stories set in private schools, and a love for wizard and fairy tales older than the US. The idea that a British woman couldn't possibly have imagined "a school for wizards" without reading some newcoming American is hilariously conceited.

(Made even funnier by the fact that many of the criticisms that were thrown at Rowling over the years involved a variation of, 'her plot/character/ideas/world-building is too generic'.)

Secondly, no male writer would ever be blamed for the exaggerations and mistakes of journalists. Nor would any man be expected to be "generous" to fellow writers, by pretending to have been influenced by them when they were not. No man who were as open about his literary influences as JKR has been would be suspected of lying.

The fact is, Pratchett, Le Guin, GRRM and co. simply didn't like that JKR cited classics in those interviews, rather than their favoured brand of genre literature, sci-fi and fantasy. People like Pratchett were and are still convinced that they are an oppressed and unfairly derided caste amongst writers, which the snotty elites wrinkle their noses at but the pure of heart lower classes love.

connor and willa are a good match simply because connor is the “what if we moved to absolutely unknown to us kind of totalitarian district far away from our homeland with no real proof of it being fruitful for us and we will not have that much freedom on our hands but we can pretend like we have power over anything there by driving on a sidewalk” type of person and willa is the “what if we did not” type of person
