22,222 men came - How do you write this number in Arabic?

Numbers in Arabic are like solving mathematical puzzles. If you like logical games, this is perfect for you. In the end it just comes down to two major steps.

dream i had last night that i will attempt to convey in text, even though i would like to draw it as a comic...

Sans, seated at a drum kit, plays the classic rimshot.

Sans plays a slightly more elaborate rimshot, adding an extra beat or two to the timeless phrase.

He plays a yet more elaborate variation, yet it's somehow still recognizable as a rimshot despite all the extra flourishes.

He plays an even more complex version, with lots of embellishments on every beat...

The variations continue, growing in complexity, until...

He plays incredibly, using a variety of percussion instruments with a level of skill that matches one Neil Peart, building up an unforgettable arrangement...

that all ends with a rimshot.

imposter syndrome won this time, to the wip graveyard you go

btw the excuse of “but I’m using AI to talk to my comfort character!!!” is still invalid

you’re a grown adult, making the choice to talk to a chat bot because it poorly emulates your favorite character(s), and ignoring the impact AI has on fandom, creative spaces, and the environment, all for….. what?

it’s sad if you need to rely on AI for comfort.

in my senior doggy years i notice myself becoming increasingly more skeptical of alterhumans rejecting humanity as a concept and whole. it feels very anti-solidarity. it feels very "us VS them" in a way that i dont think needs to exist

wanting to make humans extinct because a handful of humans are capable of global-levels of evil is probably not something that a biowolf wants and it is not something that should make you feel closer to your identity. associating your identity with hatred of other people and wishing they did not exist is like. historically speaking. a pretty bad idea to have

the more you post things about how rejecting your own innate traits is a good thing is like. actually, shockingly, Not a good thing. self hatred is known to be very destructive actually. its even worse to encourage others to do the same thing or make attempts to normalize this way of thinking

humans and questioning people have roles to play in our community and make our lives so much richer. they are our peers, not The Other. if you think Humanity is bad, weaponize your own connections with it to be good. you have the power to change

i had a vague idea last night on chiss space-traveling system. it's really just an idea and maybe it breaks the existing lore so. if there's any chiss expert here PLEASE tell me if it's something that could exist because i wanna know if i can put it to use in my story

i know they use force sensitives with that third sight power, but like. idk. i understand that they are trained and sometimes they fail but like that's SO complex. you're traveling faster than light - you can have jedi like reflexes and shit but that's still hard af.

so i was imagining (because lately I've been trying to better understand chiss lore, which i LOVEEE) wouldn't it be easier if there were like some stations in between planets, especially important colonies, to allow the force sensitives to have to navigate between smaller points, and not completely in the dark?

idk if any of you know sky: children of the light's trial of fire, so here's the link (skip the intro part). now imagine that instead of the checkpoints with rocks and candles you have little artifical moons/planets/asteroids (depending on how important that station is), and force sensitives are supposed to reach that and then re orientate etc.

BUT to make it cooler and most importantly, easier to sense for the force sensitives, imagine that those artificial ecosystem are made to be inhabited by different creatures that can't stay on their planet of origin (like. maybe because the environment changed and they are endangered, or they're too dangerous so they like. put them there). so they're full of life. they'd be like lit candles in the dark, literally.

THIS CAME TO ME BECAUSE TWO WEEKS AGO I SAW SUCH A COOL VIDEO (a 12 hour analysis of the phantom menace that's like. so fucking well-researched??? considering its length it's impressive really, so here's the link) that spoke (at 1:19:22) about that Boss Nass's phrase about going through Naboo's planet core. But to synthetize: basically in the lore, Naboo is supposed to lack a molten core, and at the center of the planet, plasma is being emitted, and it creates infinite tunnels that can connect even theed and otho gunga. but besides other worldbuilding problems that this rather absurd idea would create - that i won't recap here - in the video, there are some ideas on how to make it make sense (like. "going through the planet core" is simply a figure of speech and not what actually happened), BUT between those, there is one in particular that struck me: at 1:30:40, he proposed Naboo could be a constructed planet - like a planet-aquarium.

then, the video explains why it can't be the case for naboo but. GUYS!! if there's a species that could pull off something like that it's the chiss, with their sense of order, their need for knowledge, and organization abilities.

the maintenance of these stations with particular ecosystems could then be left at the nearest colony of csilla (kinda like the romans delegated the maintenance of their streets to each town it crossed and benefitted off of it), and be used as a "lighthouse" for new sky-walkers to train their third sight. researchers would benefit from keeping these animals alive + they could be kept in various different scenarios depending on how the specific station is made. if it's big enough, those creatures wouldn't be even captive, in a certain sense. especially since these stations need to be big enough (and full of life) to be perceived by the force sensitives, they'd just become replicas of the planet, where researchers, even in the creation of such stations, can really have a boost on their understanding of those ecosystems, through the feedbacks and experiments on the stations.

i have made a few sketches to visualize the idea

(ugly quality and poor rendition ops. in my defense it was late)

i know i wrote A LOT and prob not many will read this BUT if you've come this far, what do you think?

i think. and i’m aware that in 2006 the Knights Templar-Christofascist white supremacy connection was not really what it is today (though i do think the glorification of the Crusades/Crusaders in general has always been connected to that sort of mindset) but i do think that aspect is reallyyy always churning in my head whenever Nigel and Alex start talking about their “destiny” and “an age to revere” and the “Templar bloodline” in a way that i. never quite manage to shut off

[sannehnagi]

Is there a place or specific post where I can start learning sannena'iši?

Unfortunately the only place is in all of my documentation. I've never intended it to be learned, at least not until it is finished to my standards, which considering how I think about it and work on it will be never. In my fantasy where I am motivated and hard working I would write a fantasy novel set in the world of the people, and I've always conceived of it as told from an explorer from another continent's perspective, so the reader learns of the world along side the narrator. And they would learn the language beside them too. So, the ideal would be a book that slowly replaces words as you learn them until at the end the narrator's journal is entirely in the new language by the end.

picture your special little guy trying to make friends with someone (your otp here) and gauging how interested they are by how much they're willing to ramble about their interests

Minho overhears Gally and Thomas teasing each other about how much they can gush over the Renaissance (Gally) or sword history (Thomas)

when he asks, he gets a quick sentence.

his confidence crumbles. he slinks off and swears to never bother them again.

meanwhile, Thomas and Gally go home and start squealing

"ohmygod he talked to us!! Should we have invited him to a date? No, we have to play it cool first. How are we going to explain our relationship to him?"

"You nearly went off your head about swords, you idiot. You're going to scare him off."

"He literally asked me!!!"

day 1 of @deadboystims' 300 followers event: make a stimboard based off of your queer identities! so here's one of them: autiagender! i love this term because (for me) it is a very useful shorthand to explain how autism makes me feel disconnected from gender
