Disclaimer: fact check your information and don’t fully believe everything I write without doing your own research

A convex/concave surface is a 2 dimensional surface so drawing on it will result in a triangle with internal angles larger than 180 degrees.

Using a convex surface can also allow you to create a two sided shape where the lines are straight but meet at both ends.

It is still considered a 2 dimensional “2-sided” shape.

The reason a convex/concave surface is still considered 2 dimensional is to do with perspective.

Now imagine a 2 dimensional being - if they were living on that surface would it not also seem 2 dimensional to them?

Now think of your self, how do we know that our universe isn’t curved?

And that in a fourth dimension that same arguments could be made?

i just created a triangle that's internal measurements add up to more than 180 degrees just to flex on the math nerds

These plagiarism accusations that I see people trying to make against Taemin are ridiculous! Don’t these people know that SHINee only plagiarizes each other?!

Oh, good. The people who can't read a linked article on a post they reblog, much less open a separate tab and look into something themselves, are gonna tell us what is and isn't legit

Hello I mcyt fandom-ified la Team du Lundi members and wrote a shit ton of text about it

After exhausting myself on trying to catch up on the current QSMP lore I got a sudden craving for a more familiar and fast paced kind of minecraft content and ended up rewatching all the Team du Lundi's SMP best of's I could find

And while doing so with my brain still hazed in fandom brainrot, I started picking up on minor details or info the players casually dropped, and drew parallels to the French speakers' QSMP counterparts This is going to be a long wordy post I don't even know what I am rambling about and for. Three things you need to be aware of about la Team du Lundi before reading :

Baghera, Antoine and Etoiles are the only QSMP players that are part of la Team du Lundi

As far as I remember the only two elements that suggest that la Team du Lundi's SMP could be canon to QSMP are Antoine being pressured into building another Tower of Shit, and Baghera's infamous fountain being mentioned when she was asked if her character remembers anything from her past before the island

La Team du Lundi's SMP was NOT a roleplaying server, it was just a private survival server for a small circle of friends casually playing together. So whenever I quote someone in this specific post, it is the streamer : there is no character other than the persona the streamer is usually showing on stream, but I just thought it would be fun to interpret certain situations while keeping in mind the QSMP lore. And here goes :

Baghera claims that when she was a kid she strongly believed that she could breathe underwater. The others joke about her having fins

Antoine jokingly tells Baghera he doesn’t need oxygen at all

Antoine claims he will still be alive thousands of years forwards

Antoine’s voice shifts when he wants to appear creepy

Baghera built an aquarium at her place, then helped Antoine build one at his tower, then built a giant swimming pool, then a fountain, then a waterslide- do you see a theme ?

Baghera knows that her skin is actually that of a chick and not a duckling, and calls it so here

Chat said that Baghera has a middle child syndrome, justifying that she bullies Angle Droit because Etoiles bullies her in the first place (Etoiles has also called her « little sister » in a derogatory way)

Etoiles has repeatedly asked people to play Valorant with him at least once

Here's a clip of Etoiles getting languaged in french and owing "a gifted sub in the swear jar"

Unrelated random clip of Etoiles because it creates happy hormones in me brain

Etoiles is regularly refered to as "the warrior"

Etoiles guided the whole group during an expedition to the End and he was literally glowing doing so (enchanted arrows effect) Everyone called him "the guide"

Baghera was the one who gave the final blow to the Enderdragon (and died from magic right after)

Etoiles spent most of his time adventuring in order to bring stuff and gear back to everyone for their builds

Etoiles asked Aypierre for help in order to design a redstone door for his cave which could only open upon solving a puzzle (which was egg & arrow related) (Aypierre was not a member of the server)

Etoiles built a nightclub with the walls and ceiling covered in wardenblocks making it look like a starry sky. He also rehomed Allays holding golden apples inside claiming them to be the souls working for him and that they lived there peacefuly

Etoiles jokingly talks about Antoine acting jealous and violent towards him because Etoiles told him he wanted to go and visit Kameto (who also was not a member of the server)

Baghera (along with Horty) had a rivalry with Joueur du Grenier (host of the server with admin powers) after he decided to build a massive parking lot right next to their house. They countered by covering the whole thing with dirt, followed by JDG building a factory and the two parties went back and forth. Baghera argued that it was stupid because they didnt even have cars to begin with (which is a sentence she reused when talking about Forever's roads) Also she tells JDG that he could've built a seaport instead, which makes JDG contemplate the thought of building an airport (and though he ended up never building it, I am side eyeing the French's plane crash)

At some point JDG wonders about what a roleplaying minecraft server would look like (RPZ 2), to which Baghera replies that she has a hard time picturing the thing "We'd all just build things you see ? I don't think we'd create stories, we would all just be like "I'm a builder, ah you too ? Well awesome, builders, cool"" and I find this to be hilariously ironic (fun fact : Baghera had no idea that QSMP was a roleplaying server when she first joined and often claims she would've taken a different approach with her character had she known right off the gate)

As I was finishing to write this down, these fuckers (/lh) decided to host a closure night for the server as they've never really officially did it, everyone just sort of deserted the server after a while. Baghera, Etoiles and Antoine kept referring to QSMP throughout the night, mostly talking about how weird it felt without mods. Among other meta commentary things

They mentionned Cellbit and Bad multiple times as the group was trying to solve enigmas. Antoine talked about "the cultural sharing" between communities as he taught insults to each others with Mike, Roier and Maximus in their respective languages Multiple more players were namedropped (including eggs) while Antoine was talking about how the server functions

Yes, Baghera and Etoiles kept their QSMP skins. Etoiles with his code corrupted purgatory one, and Baghera with her fading pink disheveled hair (with the addition of her cubito wearing Horty's merch)

Baghera admits that going back to this small familiar vanilla server feels like coming back home to your family during the holidays

Team du Lundi's cameos in QSMP :

Though Pomme has never canonically met JDG (even though most of her parents have talked about him to her at least once), she occasionaly breaks the 4th wall to refer to him. She once compared one of BBH's "vacation" flower shirts with his, and when Foolish and Bad asked her to elaborate (obviously not getting the reference) she proceeded to play JDG's music theme with the flute instead (Also I really feel the need to once more point out how mindblowing it is for your average french speaking viewer to have JDG's intro theme being added to the mod they use in the QSMP because of how anchored it is within french internet pop culture. Like this shit has been existing for 14 fucking years, it's part of the childhood of a lot of us, so to find a clip of British hardcore player Philza peacefuly listening to Mexican egg admin Tallulah play this theme on her flute feels like a multiverse fever dream)

Horty has been on Quesadilla Island through cc!Baghera's account, but neither of them really wanted to justify it RP wise. Baghera just wanted to give her best friend a tour of the island. Horty only got to meet Richarlyson who gave her a tour of Cellbit's castle and made her pick a room (she chose Chaos). She also chatted with Etoiles who tagged along for a bit and (this is obviously justified by it being a one-shot out of roleplay filler episode kind of night) they both already knew each other and were on friendly enough terms to bicker with one another Also she was part of the French speakers Quackity reached out to to invite on the server, but she had to decline because she was very busy at that time (and also not interested) Also also she was Baghera's teammate for that Formula 4 event, and Baghera has discussed it and showed pictures to a couple of islanders, including Richas who was very hyped about it

Another player the viewers were hoping to see on Quackity's server is Mynthos. He exists within the server with the picture of him that hangs in Pomme's art gallery, the cursed animation video that used to play in La France, as well as with Aypierre's health potion factory that bears his name

Angle Droit and Zerator are sometimes namedropped when the French speakers talk with their chat. Angle Droit frequently raids Baghera's and Antoine's streams, and though it has never been confirmed, a lot of viewers theorized that she was the +1 player Baghera and Etoiles wanted to invite on the server had they won the elections.

As for Zera, Etoiles went AFK on QSMP a couple of times in order to test some of Zerator's TrackMania maps (which he later discussed with Pac). I also remember a very trivial conversation Etoiles had with Mouse and Aypierre where he laughed about hurting his back very badly after carrying a fellow streamer during a caritative event, said event was hosted by Zerator (he's also the one judging them with concern from his desk)

I'm done.

Bonus alternative design for Angle Droit because at first I thought she was a fox then it turned out she was a corgi but then she changed it again to a fox and woop

Just a reminder, all the fundraisers I post from my ask box or reblog on here are ones that have been vetted and shared by other Tumblr users (like 90-ghost, el shaub hussein, nabulsi, etc etc) and those who have spoken to either the people running them or the people who will benefit from them - sometimes I have spoken to these people myself - so if you're worried about "sketchy fundraisers" don't be - the work has already been put in to eradicate that possibility.

There's a lot of people on here who have spent hours of their time making sure these fundraisers are legitimate and organizing them for us, and I think it'd be disrespectful to dismiss all that hard work!

are the rascism accusations true or????

BRO NOOOOO i can’t believe people are falling for that shit???

someone edited a screenshot of a racist tweet and then claimed that i wrote it when it is just so blatantly fake and untrue to anyone who knows me or interacts with my art. if anyone sees it then i feel like it’s pretty obvious that it goes against sooo many things that ive posted and made art about. idek what made that person decide to do it in the first place???

that being said if anyone here is racist/homophobic/transphobic/ableist/zionist then fuck off. you are not welcome here and have never been. why are you even here in the first place.

Irish basketball players were basically forced to play Israel the other day because if they didn't the FIBA ((Basketball association basically)) would've gotten around a 6 figure fine and possible court case for discrimination of something or other ((feel free to fact check that)). 5 players backed out from it as a boycott but the rest of the players went on to travel to Latvia to play the team. One of the Israeli players commented (roughly) that the Irish were antisemitic because they didn't want to play Israel/there was talk of boycotting.

Oh, and let's not forget that the Israeli team was photographed with an IDF 'machine gun' ((not good with guns and am not willing to get it wrong, again, fact check all you want)), another picture being the team posing with a "Stand with Israel" banner.

A good thing is that the Irish team did all they could of not showing their support for Israel by refusing to handshake before(?) the game.

The scene in Hannibal where Will finds Georgia Madchen under his bed and yeah he freaked for a second as he skittered on the floor.

But instead of harming her or freaking out further he empathizes and brings her centered by telling her she's alive, who she is, and where she is, and that Will is with her.

I was watching a YouTube video about making zines and the person ended it with a call to action to be informed about Palestine and was like "And what better way than by reading zines???" There are. Um. Better ways...

hi guys just a reminder to please fact check posts before reblogging them 🙏

[insidiousclouds]

It really bothers me that people won't even fact check when told that someone is a terf or something. The fact that people will blindly follow. Sure it's not that much of a problem when you just block them. It's not like that's hurting anyone. But what really bothers me is the blind trust. "Go block OP because they are a terf and proshipper" and people just do, without even trying to find evidence that the OP really is.

[knifearo]

how did you realize that you were aro? I’m thinking about using greyromantic but I’m still not sure

i have already answered a version of this here! very gently placing that into your hands and then proceeding to write out a whole other answer anyway haha

in complete and total honesty. i was thirteen and i saw a definition of asexual in the "love" edition of teen vogue and i went "oh THAT'S what it is???" and i've been asexual ever since... for real though i found that definition and went looking further into things online and i don't know if it was because ace + aro discussions are so intertwined or because when i went "oh, i have no sexual attraction" i really went "oh, i have no attraction", but for me, asexuality and aromanticism were very intertwined, and once i knew that i wasn't feeling one it just kind of like. went for granted that i wasn't feeling the other one. i took the package deal. the combo, if you will.

while i was still deciding if that was the label i wanted to use (i thought of it as trying to figure out "what i was" but i find that framework to be,,, unhelpful? i will explain further later) what really helped me was going online and reading other aspec people's experiences, so you're on the right track already! squishes were a big thing for me: i read someone talking about those and immediately thought of my friend who i had been VERY proccupied with and had not had an explanation for it or the words to describe it (and i still don't, honestly. anyone with a good explanation of how a squish feels feel free to weigh in). from the asexuality side of things it was seeing someone talk about realizing that sexual attraction wasn't a huge inside joke and going "wait, it's NOT?" which was. silly. but also a very clear sign. sjkgfhd.

one thing that makes it difficult is that no alloro person i've ever met can actually give you a good description of what romantic attraction is. i'm realizing now that i'm silly and should just have been asking alloaces (feel free to say stuff in the notes! will also make a post asking around in a sec once i post this) but i will say that if you are frequently thinking about maybe being aspec it's typically a good indicator that you're not having an experience that alloro people have. they tend to be very confident about this sort of thing because they are. experiencing the romantic attraction.

i am going to direct you also to this post about using labels as labels, not as immutable states of being. if describing yourself as greyro would be helpful to your own internal journey or helpful in describing your experience to other people, use it! if it's not, don't feel pressured to use that label, or any label at all. you are a person with a unique experience and it's going to be hard. luckily all these words are made up and we can use them however we want or need :)

greyromantic is also an AWESOME term because it's already built in with caveats. i know a lot of people feel stressed about like. "committing" to the label of aromantic because what if they do feel it. but even if you couldn't stop using a label anytime it stopped feeling right, grey-aspec labels are wonderful because they acknowledge that the experience is variable and. y'know. not black or white. so even if you're stressed out about getting it wrong (which you don't need to be), greyro has you covered :)

ultimately my stance is always that if a label is going to be a positive thing for you then you should use it. you're allowed to be wrong about it. you're allowed to change it. and i know it can be hard to convince yourself of that so! if you're having trouble with that, i give you permission to use greyromantic (or any aspec label) for as long as you want or need it. go forth and be aro my friend <2

i think the most intense "he would not fucking say that" experience i've ever had wasn't even towards a fictional character, it was the time i found out that there are A Surprising Number Of People who genuinely believe that the famous cheesy self-love quote "be yourself, everybody else is taken" was said by oscar wilde. first time i saw it i felt my brain grind to a complete still as i tried to process whether that was somehow true despite seeming so entirely out of sync with anything else attributed to oscar wilde. (it is not true! it literally just isn't! he did not fucking say that!)
