#but on the rare occasions where I do

a lot of the time and I mean like once per week I somewhat wish that I wrote ship fics like a normal person instead of x reader. the problem is. I am not normal

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

if you look at how i talk about all my other interests you should take my complete lack of haterisms for rvb as a glowing endorsement

[whoredmode]

my wife and i saw you from across the bar and we absolutely hate your vibe we were wondering what the fuck is wrong with you

don’t mind the Extremely out of character art. this is based on a completely scrapped concept from the LoP story that i still think about and wanted to do a fuller pic of anyway (as opposed to the sketches i’d done before). can you believe it’s taken me this long to finally finish a drawing of anteros in an evening gown

thoughts on Su Minshan??

I actually recently did a post on SMS, so feel free to stick another token in the slot machine that is my askbox if you want. But I suppose I can build on it a little. There's one thing I brought up in there that probably does deserve more attention, and that is ...

Why, oh why, does fandom assume that SMS is unmarried when it is literally impossible that he would be single and childless? Like, this blows my mind.

Things that are clearly established by canon:

1. The jianghu operates under a clan system rather than a genre-typical pure sect system. Bloodlines are crucially important and the leadership of clans is generally passed from father to son or another close male relative, though women do rarely also obtain positions of power.

2. This system was introduced a couple of centuries earlier by Wen Mao, but is now so embedded that XXC and SL's shared vision of a merit-based sect where bloodlines are irrelevant is considered a distant and idealistic dream.

3. XXC receives numerous invitations to join clans due to his stellar reputation, and turns them all down due to this principle. He could have taken an important role in these clans but would never have been able to inherit or lead. Despite his incredible reputation, during the period of time in which he is travelling the jianghu in his pre-eye gouging days, neither he nor SL take a single disciple. This strongly indicates that even someone of literally impeccable standing couldn't even begin to get an independent merit-based sect off the ground.

... but I am supposed to believe that SMS somehow achieved this? That he left the Lan and founded his own sect with a gang of disgruntled tone deaf pals and that's the end of it? Absolutely not. He founded the Moling Su (the name itself is a big clue) in the traditional manner. He probably did involve some of his own blood relatives from the off to bulk his numbers, but even so, he's clan leader and the first thing a nascent and highly vulnerable new clan needs is heirs. SMS is absolutely married and a father to multiple children. Those children are the literal future of his clan and its very existence depends on them.

Of course his wife and children aren't explicitly mentioned by the narrative, because he's a supporting character whose function in the narrative revolves around his loyalty to JGY and his grudges against [insert list here], and his home life is irrelevant. Su-furen is either at home in Moling holding the fort; or, less likely, she's amongst the cultivators he brings to the Burial Mounds and could even potentially be intending to meet up with JGY and his cohort of loyal disciples during the collective flight to Dongying. It's just a level of detail that isn't relevant, especially to our viewpoint character, WWX, who is notoriously not detail-orientated when it comes to this kind of thing.

I was talking about this on twitter and I'm still thinking about it so I'm going say it here too. It sucks that Zooble fanart that isn't ship art and is just them on their own as the main focus is so hard to find </3

happy Sunday! Here’s a fun fact! Did you know that Florida is the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles live in the same ecosystem? Crocodiles are only really in the Everglades here, so don’t worry, you won’t be running into a crocodile in the nearby lake. You’ll definitely find gators though! Don’t swim in lakes guys.

Do you know how to tell the difference between a gator and a croc?

Surprisingly a lot of people don’t know how to quickly tell the difference between these two big fellas. For one, crocodiles are a more brown color, while alligators are a dark black, almost purpley color. Two, a super easy way to tell the difference is in the animal’s head. Alligators have a wide, shovel shaped head, with teeth from their top jaw being the only teeth that are shown. Crocodiles have a thin, narrow head with a V shaped nose. You can clearly see teeth from both their top and bottom jaw, and generally look just a little more gnarly than gators.

now, if you look at a crocodile, do you think that animal would be able to run? No? Well you’d be right! Crocodiles have a wide stance, which really is not ideal if you’re trying to lug that big of a body around on land. Their top speed reaches about 20mph on land, which, yknow. Just don’t bother them.

You look at a gator, do you think they can run? No? Well guess what, when alligators stand up, their legs are under their bodies instead of out to the side. Alligators can run, albeit for a short time, at speeds up to 35mph.

with a few differences covered I just wanna close this little infodump with, no, you’re not going to come across crocodiles often. You absolutely will see alligators in Florida, no matter where you are. I know I just talked about the fact that the swamp puppies will almost definitely catch you if you try to outrun them, but here’s the thing. Alligators really don’t want anything to do with you. Most times, they’re more afraid of you, and will just slide back into the water if they feel threatened. Just respect their space and you’ll be totally fine! I’m so grateful that we live in one of the few places with these literal living dinosaurs swimming around all over the place.

I need to get to bed, but I thought about Mermaid AU, today ... specifically started exploring the idea of Heathcliff returning to land with Sherry after everything with Davy Jones is resolved, and it made me think about how he'd struggle to conceal his Mer instincts ...

Guy at my job has a one sided beef with me and now my emails are a war zone. Trench warfare in the emails. Fire and screaming and etc.

You know what i think i have pretty unique Dr fankids solely out of the fact that they exist post tragedy and aren't at all tied or involved in anything killing game related

I love having a dedicated and aware dream alter like sometimes I just wake up with memories of a new superpower this dude's been at it for nearly two decades and still learns new tricks like last night he unlocked walking on air, which might not seem like much for a guy who can already fly in multiple ways, but the thing is walking on air, it turns out, is just a lot easier when it comes to things like taking off from ledges. But like it's like I'm just waking up Matrix style "I know kung fu" but it's instead of martial arts I'm just learning new superpowers that I don't actually have. Whatever they did that in the Matrix too.

Why do certain coworkers have to get you so annoyed with them without even trying, and they don't realize how annoying/obnoxious they are?? Or worse, they KNOW how annoying they are but don't seem to care cause they find it funny?

It's like the silence and neutral expressions aren't enough of a hint that I don't think you're funny and you should just stop while you still have your dignity...

Longer rant in the tags cause it's a lot.
