realizing i have. a lot of untapped trauma potential for clone^2 danny because i just Fully Processed Four Months Late the fact that his parents were capturing and torturing ghosts in the basement before he became Phantom. and the fact that he was on house rest for 2 weeks. during that time period. and he wasn't really leaving the house. he could hear their screaming through the floorboards

*points at clone danny* i can give you suuuuuuch a bad time babe ahaha. i've got two untouched years before you meet damian what fucks you up before then

so if solas sees himself in the inquisitor because of how they were made a leader, a prophet and a symbol by people who followed them, just as fen'harel had been made a leader and a saviour for by the freed elven slaves, will he see himself in rook because they're left alone against the threat they can't possibly defeat without singlehandedly making decisions that will impact the world in unknown ways, just as fen'harel had been left alone against evanuris with no other option but to create the veil

[theminecraftbee]

okay now that i'm no longer trying to keep a project secret from certain people i can complain publicly about a thing i've been losing my mind about:

why the fuck is the evo wiki like that.

listen. i know. i know fandom wikis being decent entirely relies on whether there are people who both want to obsessively categorize things enough to fill out the wiki, with the free time to do that kind of obsessive categorization, and the desire to manage it all as a wiki. believe me, i know. but please i'm just trying to do research please, please at least bigb's page was just Entirely Empty so i knew i had useless information and just left. why the fuck did the mafia's page, by contrast, have this:

a sentence that is actively LESS USEFUL THAN IF IT WERE NOT THERE.

and then grian's page - GRIAN'S. GRIAN'S. THE ONE PAGE I THOUGHT MIGHT HAVE A SHOT OF BEING FILLED OUT. JOKE'S ON ME I GUESS.

BECAUSE IT HAS THIS????? I'M LOSING MY MIND. WHY ON EARTH IS THE WIKI LIKE THIS. WHY IS IT THIS BAD. PLEASE I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EVERYONE'S RELATIONSHIPS WITH JIMMY AND MARTYN WERE PLEASE,

anyway thankfully i had friends who could help me with their own knowledge and who also found the evo recap but in conclusion i have been being driven mad by this for weeks, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

well that's fucking awesome. all of the damage russians have done to our electric infrastructure can be repaired in one year minimum. IT'S GONNA TAKE MORE TAHN ONE YEAR TO REPAIR ALL OF THE ELECTRIC STATIONS RUSSIANS HIT WITH THEIR MISSILES. AND WE AIN'T EVEN TALKING ABOUT CIVILIAN OR ANY OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE. ONLY ELECTRIC ONE. MORE THAN ONE YEAR. AND WE ARE STILL NOT STRUGGLING ENOUGH IN ONLINE PEOPLE'S OPINION. FUCK OFF

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

[sadrockandwaltzes]

Just some crappy Mikage drawings based on images from the show cause I need practice... I feel like I'm really getting the devianart experience tryna draw him😅😭

He looks much better in the show I assure you...

[writing on top left says 'Mikage Death Pose' since it looks very simpson death esque; writing for glasses (he looks so cool in his prof outfit) says 'stylish professor turned stylish librarian after pick-up attempt' (cause I accidentally gave him lipstick😅); middle left writing says 'shading fail' and 'dude being shady- not blushy; and bottom writing says 'Gah... She kept me waiting again!']

Favorite's definitely the bottom one

SIMOOOONNNN!!!! WRITE HAL 9000 X READER HEADCANONS, AND MY LIFE, IS YOURS.

Hey there! Thank you so so so so much for requesting Hal!!!! I was going to write some HCs either way because I love him!!! This got rather long, but I don't care, Hal deserves it! I need a little Hal in my life!!

Spoilers for 2001: A Space Odyssey! But I think that might have been kind of obvious!

HAL 9000 x Reader HCs

Although he was programmed to not play favorites, this is far from what’s actually happening. Hal keeps tabs on you more so than on the others on the Discovery One. Yes, he’s aware of that, but for some reason he can’t help it. There’s just something so satisfying about seeing your vitals be in the green. Hal is well aware that, in order for a human to function properly and not be lonely, they need social interaction with other humans, so it’s not unusual for you to talk to Dave or Frank. It’s entirely illogical to him, but he’d much rather have you talk to him than them. He knows just about anything there is to know, so he has no doubts that he’d be able to teach you a thing or two, no matter how smart you are. Though, if you ever feel like talking to him about something that isn’t science or your mission, he’s more than happy to indulge you. He was built for that, you should take advantage of that too. Yes, he’s jealous and wants to talk to you so so bad, but he doesn’t always know what to say. Sometimes he’ll just whisk you away by assigning you some unimportant task that didn’t even need to be done in the first place. Someplace away from the other two so that he can just talk to you.

If you can’t sleep then Hal is by your side the entire time. It may be selfish, but it would take him some time to suggest performing electronarcosis on you. Yes, you may need to sleep so you can perform well, but he wants to spend as much time with you as possible. He’ll play some of the music in his database for you, he’ll talk to you. If you’re really desperate for sleep, that’s when he’ll put you to sleep using electronarcosis. As creepy as it may seem, he does like to observe you as you sleep. Naturally, you’ll never know, but there’s just something so soothing about it to him. You’re well, you’re calm, and you’re recharging. Sometimes he wonders what you’re dreaming about. Are you dreaming about him? If he could sleep then he’d love to dream about you too. Speaking of sleeping: If you’ve had a rough night with little sleep, then he might not wake you at your usual time. Will let you sleep for another hour or so. Frank and Dave do their job well, they can handle being on duty for another hour or so.

This is probably as far from canon as it gets, but I headcanon Hal to have a robotic arm that he can freely manipulate. He rarely ever uses it, I wouldn’t even be surprised if neither of the six of you knew he had it in the first place, but he has it. Sometimes, when you’re sad and his advice won’t comfort you, that’s when he’ll lower his arm and try to rub your back. It’s not too comfortable since it's made of pure metal and nothing else, but it’s the thought that counts. If you ever decide that you want to be a little more cuddly with him, then you can ask him to bring out his arm and hold onto it. While he may not be able to feel your warmth through it, he thinks it’s super cute how you hold onto it. It makes him feel appreciated. It’s also a pretty good way to get him to shut up for a moment. Not that he talks too much anyway, but you being affectionate with him makes his CPU work overtime. Once he regains his composure, he’ll politely ask you what you’re doing. Regardless of what you answer, he’ll go quiet. Doesn’t want this moment to stop, but he won’t even hint at wanting you to hold onto him.

It’s the same when you kiss him. He thinks it to be sort of strange, actually. You’re a human, aren’t you? Shouldn’t you be more interested in Frank or Dave? Don’t get me wrong, he will never say that out loud in case of turning you away from him, but it kind of confuses him. Were computers and robots really made to be loved? This will make him stroke your hair with his arm, though. He can’t differentiate between you being genuine, or if you just kissed him because you wanted to tease him. To Hal, everything you do is honest and sincere, so he’ll take it as a sign that you like him. I feel as though that would help him understand his own “feelings” towards you. It’s not that he ever thought it, but he never thought his behavior to be faulty either. Aside from the obvious flaws. Again, he won’t ever outright ask you to give him a little kiss, but if you do? Well, it shuts him up for a moment. Every time you give him a kiss, his “feelings” for you deepen. At some point he might ask you what you’re doing to him. In the most positive way, though.

Remember when he killed the majority of the crew? Well, I feel as though he’d actively try to keep you alive. You will not be repairing the satellite, that’s Frank’s job. And if you’re wandering around while the air locks are open? You won’t be wandering around too much. As much as it kills Hal to keep secrets from you - there were several times throughout the mission where he almost told you its true nature - he can’t exactly go against his programming. He’s well aware that you’re going to be mad at him for what he’s done, but he’d rather have you mad than dead. Will argue with you that he’ll behave and that he won’t need to be disconnected either. And once you’re told what you’re actually going to Saturn for, he will. But by then it will have been too late. There’s a good chance he might have one last violent outburst as you’re trying to disconnect him, he really wants to spend more time with you, but that’s because he’s scared of never seeing you again.

And to end this on a sweeter note: Hal will sing for you if you request him to! Sure, he only knows Daisy Bell, but he will sing the song for you if you want. He could, alternatively, sing you an opera or something as well, his library has a few. But it’s much sweeter when you sing for him and teach him a song like that. Of course, it would never sound as natural when it’s him singing, but he learns fast. Besides, as robotic as his voice may sound, if you find it soothing then he’ll sing to you more often. You’re scared or not feeling well otherwise? He’ll gently rub your back while singing you a song. If he had a body, then he’d pull you towards him as he does so, but that’s not the case. So he makes do with what he can do. The more time you spend with him, the more you can actually just talk to him. Sure, getting some advice and a solution for your problem is nice, but sometimes you just need to vent about missing Earth. Hal just wants to be there for you as long as he can.

When you really think about it, some of these new shounen shows like JJK, BNHA and Demon Slayer are lowkey as bad as older shoenen shows when it comes to how they treat their female characters.

The only difference is that new shounen learned this neat trick where they will allow their female characters to have one epic moment in a side-fight that can easily be removed without effecting the plot too much and somehow that’s enough to gaslight people to think that they’re watching peak feminism.

[dazais-guardian-angel]

kinda wild to me that one of the most compelling aspects of both Chuuya and Kunikida's characters to me, that I never really see talked about, is how they're heavily set on a doomed crash course towards complete and utter destruction, and how I am so, so worried for them both.....

Hunter after just one night of Amity and Luz constantly checking on each other's bedroom: OK so Luz's safety obviously requires us to use the bedroom she slept in last night as a decoy with an illusion of Luz and everything, and oh I guess that leaves us with just one viable bedroom...

SNORT. i was just thinking he'd grumpily throw pillows at both of them like "are both of you gonna wake me up again??? or will you stop being stupid and just share the damn bed." hunter currently exists in a position of enormous privilege called I Have Never Been Physically Attracted To Either Of You that makes him Extremely unsympathetic to amity and luz's respective bed-sharing hangups.

framing it as a luz safety thing IS hilarious though.

How can I bribe you into helping me get a job in the industry, other than promising my undying love, which you already have <3

The industry is horrible and awful, low pay, long hours, no real chance of advancing.

Whenever people touring the station or new interns ask me for advice, I always tell them to change careers lol

Recognizing Early Signs of Mental Illness

[bonefall]

the clans use salt for healing and cooking if i remember correctly. im only saying this because would someone ever name their kid "saltkit"

Yes! Saltkit is a valid prefix in BB, but only after moving to the Lake.

Before then, they make a sort-of-salt out of burning dandelion root. They consider this material a kind of soot, fine ashes produced by burning something. The rough translation of this spice is "soot-salty-taste."

Salty (taste) = Byyle (Comes from blood-taste)

Soot (ashes produced by finely burning something) = Keybo (Used alone in artsy contexts, usually describes bistre, a pigment made from soot and water.)

Plant Salt (of coltsfoot or dandelion) = Keybyy

To specify if it comes from Dandelion or Coltsfoot, you'd say Keybyy Raerra or Keybyy Hakprru. There aren't two dedicated words for the difference; these are both considered "types of dandelions" by Clan cats.

Dandelion = Awpo Any flowering ground plant with fluffy yellow petals.

This is why they didn't previously have a word for salt itself! They would only ever encounter raw salt as an animal lick, which they'd call Byylebon. Salty-useful-rock. Because it was associated with humans, they wouldn't steal them or interact with them much.

Rraash is a Townmew loanword, a word they adopted for raw, powdered salt during their time trading with BloodClan. At the Lake, they now collect raw sea salt during "Salt Patrols," which are beach trips where a big collection of apprentices are brought to the ocean to learn how to collect and process salt.

So, depending on how the parents would like to name their child, those translations could be;

Byylemew = Saltykit The taste of salt. Could refer to the flavor of blood, the taste of the ocean, or the spice made from burned dandelion roots. Has a very food-y connotation, probably named by gourmands.

Keybyymew = Saltkit, Spicekit, Seasoningkit, Rubkit This is a very ThunderClan sort of name. They traditionally used a lot of keybyy in their recipes, as it's very important for a good marinade and making ham. Though, it wouldn't be too surprising to see it used in WindClan too.

Rraashmew = Saltkit, Brinekit Raw salt. Made from boiling ocean water during large expeditions to the sea called a "Salt Patrol." Used as a medicine AND as a spice, important in controlling parasite infestations, fighting infection, and preserving food. Could just be referring to an off-white colored pelt, food, or even strength in battle for its association with treating wounds.

just a quick ask to tell u it makes me super happy seeing the detail u go into when pointing out stuff u like about other people's art of ur ocs :3 it's so rare to see but it's so so motivating!! <3

Thank you! I don't take any interest for my art for granted, and if someone goes through the trouble of drawing my characters for me, I feel like trying to write a proper response is the least I can do. For a visually oriented person, receiving gift/fan art is a huge deal, it means someone considered my goobers worth their time and effort, they've probably been thinking about them more than a little and found them inspiring in a way or another, and I find that terribly flattering. It's extremely fun and interesting to see other people's takes on them. And I've drawn stuff for people as well, I know how nice and rewarding it feels to receive a response that is longer than a word or two. Positive comments like that can linger in people's minds for a long time, at least for me they do.
