Krakoa’s first law: MAKE MORE MUTANTS

[hjellacott]

Women reduced to baby making ovens. Babies reduced to shopping orders. And they call this progress.

Thanks for the judge though.

These fucking men I swear.

ovulation being a hell of a drug that ends up getting steddie together like

eddie and queen bee stevie harrington who have a weird kind of friendship where they share like. Everything. not a single secret between them. like eddie's got stevie's cycle pretty much memorised and she knows about every inappropriately timed boner he's ever had. and they're talking one day, smoking, shooting the shit, and there's a second of silence before stevie's like. oh my god. im so horny im gonna die. and eddie's like huh what. and stevie goes like there's a stain on your wall that's kind of shaped like a sperm and that made me think about cum and now im all bricked up. my vaginas haunted. fucking sperm shaped stain.

and eddie's like. wait girls- ok you know what im saying this in my head and im realising this sounds dumb but like. i thought girls didn't like. Get Like That. like i thought random horniness at a stiff breeze was a guy thing

and stevie snorts like nope girls get it too we just get to hide it bc we don't get boners. swear to god there's like a week of every month where i get fucking possessed or some shit. robin says it's like a period thing

but you're not on your period?

and stevie's like no it's like. the opposite of a period. like your period is your uterus being like hey you fucked up you're not pregnant but Horny Week is your uterus being like okay im ready let's get a baby in there time to get pregnant you know what to do. it's called like. oval. something. oval something. im all fertile and my body's trying to trick me, the fuckn prick.

and eddie just kinda goes huh and then there's another second of silence where he tries very hard not to think about stevie being pregnant. and then stevie throws her arms up with a frustrated sigh like god DAMN it now im thinking about being pregnant and eddie's internally like well at least it's not just me

and anyway another joint later this obviously devolves into stevie shoving eddie's hand down her pants and telling him please it'll be so quick he doesn't even have to do anything and she just ruts against his hand while he stares at her bc he's so high and the girl he's basically in love with just told him how fertile she was and then started rubbing her incredibly wet pussy against his hand and he feels like he might pass out

they do this and more about once a month for like a year until stevie does actually get pregnant. her stupid uterus successfully tricked her 😔✊

Finally got a fancy(tm) pic of my aquarium - think I figured out the solution to awful photos is just I have to do them at night because the hugeass window in my room directly adjacent ruins everything. Going to try and take a pic like this weekly to track growth!

Anyway it's looking close? Closeish? to being cycled so the question is: WHAT COLOUR SHRIMP

Petition: Sephiroth doesn't have a father.

Half of his dna? Lucrecia

The other half? Jenova

None of this Hojo vs Vincent argument I humbly propose we get far more symbolic mileage out of a corrupted version of an immaculate conception via Jenova as the 'angelic' presence.

Mad science IVF, essentially.

This lasted about ten seconds as a crack theory but now I think I'm actually going to add that to my belief system

Like Jenova is generally given female pronouns and called 'mother' but we do need to remember it's an alien megafauna virus (often referred to with 'it' pronouns in multiple translations of the original game, including the original Japanese). Its cells do not work like human animal cells. It's entirely feasible that it was used in place of a father donor, and would explain why sephiroth has such strong Jenova characteristics (white hair, slit eyes) where Angeal and Genesis don't (and also just. The rest of him. Where you'd put the genes for halos I don't know).

Sephiroth does have huge issues, just, in general, but his real weak point was his mummy issues where he'd been primed by hojo and that was where Jenova squarely hit. And it's generally agreed no matter which side of the 'sephiroth is in control/a puppet' spectrum you fall on that she was preying on him in nibelheim.

And also, just in final fantasy in general, there is a LOT of religious symbolism and icons (as is fairly typical of rpg games of that type. Just look at the Persona or Shin megami tensei series!). The summons, the church, etc. Sephiroth, aka the paths of sephiroth, is taken from what Wikipedia calls 'esoteric Jewish mysticism' and describes, I quote, 'channels of divine creative life force or consciousness through which the unknowable divine essence is revealed to mankind' or 'the ten structural forces of nature'. No guesses for how that tied into Project S' original intent to re-establish the extinct cetra and lead shinra to the promised land of infinite totally-not-afterlife-compost mako.

And I'm sure there's been plenty of essays done on the meanings and themes in ff7 (not that I can find them under all the sephiroth character analysis) but sephiroth very clearly went the demi urge route where he should have been a saviour and guide so why not throw in some immaculate conception as well?

Disclaimer: this tumblr user does not think of IVF as corrupted mad science nor do they think children born of it are any less human, we're talking about Hojo's experiments with Jenova on an unborn child here.

This would also mean that any 'Jenova is not your mother!' dramatic reveal could be followed up with 'she's your dad!' which is hilarious and we know Sephiroth's opinions on father figures.

not to be sincere on main or anything, but holy shit my cycle home this evening was So beautiful. lavender-lilac twilight with the last of the sun catching the clouds, and all the fields so soft and green. saw some rabbits, saw a deer, saw the hare again, startled a pheasant out of a tree, had two ducks fly overhead like something out of a romantic painting. god.

[ID: four photos of the sunset over fields, as described above]

I love the idea that Bobby Dawn isn't actually involved in anything, the Bad Kids just kill him because he's a piece of shit.

The older I get, the better this feels

Not to be an old lady but oh my god oh my gooood, things will be all right, see? The sun is shining.

[distractionactivated]

Resolutely not reblogging a post about the UK biodiversity crisis to point out that drastic declines in biodiversity in the last 20-100 years do not, necessarily, mean that the entire history of human cultivation of nature here is catastrophic. Like, I get the point the person was making and I also think that the 'we made this green and pleasant land' rhetoric is usually thinly-veiled nationalist chauvinism, but also please think about the statistics you're using.

If your stats all point to the major damage being in the last century or two, this relates to industrialisation, industrial farming, power consolidation, and un/deregulation, not the activities of ordinary farmers 500 years ago or whatever. Therefore, it's not actually countering the points the 'green and pleasant land' chuds are talking about.

most single image depictions of the phosphorus cycle are really funny to me because like

when you have to include stuff like "animals eat plants" on the same image as "phosphate rock formation" i think you need to take a step back and think about how time scales work

Brimstone Moths :3

These cute pastel yellow moths are pretty unmistakeable, they're small but vibrant in colour :) there is one species of butterfly somewhat simmilar to them, but: - theyre butterflies - they fly during the day while brimestone moths fly at night

they pose no agricultural threat so they're just sweet lil guys for us to admire!

Trump is a better man than whoever provided the semen got you.

Actually my father and mouthed are wonderful people who have done better things in their lives for the simple people around them than Trump has in his whole life. And they’ve done things for rich and ‘powerful’ without expecting it to benefit themselves.

The fact that your on anon shows that you have far too loud opinions for your own fucking scaredy cat pussy self. So politely? Stfu. I’m not even American and Trump being president messes my life up. I don’t know what YOU get out of having a crazy, nut job with no life, bitches, happiness and is just generally fucking insane racist, misogynistic, psychopath but you do you.

Just keep your shitty, no brain, no properly thought out opinions out of my vibe. Thanks 😊

Any other Trump supports that decide to come to my blog to be a fucking asshole because you can’t see past your fucking own dick on how life isn’t just about you(AND Once Trump is done tearing us, the POC and gays, down, who do you think he’s going for next? Use both your brain cells dumbass. Unless you loss them too🤭)

Thank you for reading my rant! Go kill your opinion and re evaluate yourself. You don’t deserve an opinion or freedom to talk until you do! <3

He can be hot at times too, yeah?

Further Developments

Exposing lab-grown models of early human development called gastruloids to retinoic acid makes them more faithful mimics of embryos that have implanted into the uterus [womb]
