I'm quite convinced Draco uses half of his time staring at Harry like this and wondering how he can be so dumb (he loves it and knows they'll smash later so he won't complain)

“Mu Qing is too logical for his own good” is such a real problem that he deals with and as tragic as it makes his life I also think it’s really funny when someone is accusing him of something and instead of telling them to shut up or leave him alone the first thing he does is pull out the 95 fucking theses detailing every single thing wrong with their argument WITH historical evidence and additional considerations from scholarly psychology articles, MLA format works cited and completely annotated. It could use an editor and some bias correction, but he actually makes a pretty good point. anyways tgcf ace attorney au when

“it’s not my job to educate you” is something you can say if you’re, like, just some random person of colour being put on the spot to explain why racism is bad. if you’re a Communist it is, in fact, your job to educate people. it should be your number one priority! lads this is literally what we are meant to be doing! if someone asks you a question and they seem to actually want to hear the answer, it is, in fact, your job to explain it to them! otherwise you’re a pretty shitty communist!

Name Your Price Comms!

So uhhhh, apparently I'm the biggest idiot on earth and accidentally set the pay-off date for my one credit card a week too soon and oh boy am I in the red right now and... I don't get paid for another five days, ahahaha 💀💀💀

I was only slapped with an additional 25$ fee for going into the negatives, which I'm grateful for, but

I still need 200$ to get out of the hole at the moment.

I'll plug my ko-fi here & my direct p.ayp.al is @barenok, but if anyone is interested in a pencil, pen, or marker traditional comm, I'll be happy to draw something for you of whatever you like! I just haven't had the nerve to do digital art lately, but I can still draw something for you as thanks!! Otherwise, donations to your neighborhood starving artist is always appreciated too lol

Message me after you send a ko-fi and we'll connect to make it happen. So much love to you guys and sorry for always being a problem child 😭😭😭

This is a little info post.

I am selenophobic, which means I have an intense, irrational fear of the moon. This is partly induced by psychosis.

I have had far more panic attacks than I can count just from using my tumblr dashboard.

Please, if you are my mutual, consider tagging #selenophobia #moon #mochi dont look or #no mochi

(If you tag the third one, make sure there isn’t an apostrophe, as it glitches and shows the post anyway.)

This fear applies to drawings, cartoon designs, photos, icons, and text. Pretty much anything that you would think, “Is this a trigger?” the answer is yes.

Eclipses are included in this. The shadow of the moon is just as terrifying as being able to see it.

In short, please consider making my dash a little safer for me to use <3 thank you!

Where do you find these manuscripts? Is it like a website or do you find it randomly??

hey, thanks for the curiosity! lenghty answer below the cut :)

1)

medieval manuscripts are typically owned by libraries and showcased on the library's websites. so one thing i do is i randomly browse those digitized manuscript collections (like the collections of the bavarian state library or the bodleian libraries, to name just two), which everybody can do for free without any special access. some digital collections provide more useful tools than others (like search functions, filters, annotations on each manuscript). if they don't, the process of wading through numerous non-illustrated manuscripts before i find an illustrated one at all can be quite tedious.

2)

there are databases which help to navigate the vast sea of manuscripts. the one i couldn't live without personally use the most is called KdIH (Katalog der deutschsprachigen illustrierten Handschriften des Mittelalters). it's a project which aims to list all illustrated medieval manuscripts written in german dialects. the KdIH provides descriptions of the contents of each manuscript (with a focus on the illustrations), and if there's a digital reproduction of a manuscript available anywhere, the KdIH usually links to it. the KdIH is an invaluable tool for me because of its focus on illustrated manuscripts, because of the informations it provides for each manuscript, and because of its useful search function (once you've gotten over the initial confusion of how to navigate the website). the downside is that it includes only german manuscripts, which is one of the main reasons for the over-representation of german manuscripts on my blog (sorry about that).

3)

another important database for german manuscripts in general (i.e. not just illustrated ones) is the handschriftencensus, which catalogues information regarding the entirety of german language manuscripts of the middle ages, and also links to the digital reproductions of each manuscript.

4)

then there are simply considerable snowball effects. if you do even just superficial research on any medieval topic at all (say, if you open the wikipedia article on alchemy), you will inevitably stumble upon mentions of specific illustrated manuscripts. the next step is to simply search for a digital copy of the manuscript in question (this part can sometimes be easier said than done, especially when you're coming from wikipedia). one thing to keep in mind is that a manuscript illustration seldom comes alone - so every hint to any illustration at all is a greatly valuable one (if you do what i do lol). there's always gonna be something interesting in any given illustrated manuscript. (sidenote: one very effective 'cheat code' would be to simply go through all manuscripts that other online hobbyist archivers of manuscript illustrations have gone through before - like @discardingimages on tumblr - but some kind of 'professional pride' detains me from doing so. that's just a kind of stubbornness though. like, i want to find my material more or less on my own, not just the images but also the manuscripts, and i apply arbitrary rules to my search as to what exactly that means.)

5)

whatever tool or strategy i use to find specific illustrated manuscripts-- in the end, one unavoidable step is to actually manually skim through the (digitized) manuscript. i usually have at least a quick look at every single illustrated page, and i download or screenshot everything that is interesting to me. this process can take up to an hour per manuscript.

---

in conclusion, i'd say that finding cool illuminated manuscripts is much simpler than i would have thought before i started this blog. there are so many of them out there and they're basically just 'hidden in plain side', it's really astounding. finding the manuscripts doesn't require special skills, just some basic experience with/knowledge of the tools available. the reason i'm able to post interesting images almost daily is just that i spend a lot of time doing all of this, going through manuscripts, curating this blog, etc. i find a lot of comfort in it, i learn a lot along the way, and i immensely enjoy people's engagement with my posts. so that's that :)

[ruvviks]

All That's Left follows two journalists and their friends in post-apocalyptic United States as they travel from the fallen east coast megalopolis Opportunity back to Los Angeles, crossing through a harsh wasteland overrun with zombies— only to find out that there is a lot more life left than what the protected cities want them to believe. On their journey they meet dozens of people living their lives as peaceful as possible away from military forces, corporations, and corrupt governments; and they learn that the same mutated ghouls that took down Opportunity are spreading rapidly through the country, destroying everything in their path. Will this finally be the end of the world as we know it?
