Find somebody who is as excited about you as Alan Alda is about stingless bees.

#i'm cleaning off my desktop of my screencaps and i'd forgotten about this moment and it made me emotional again #so i didn't want to delete it without putting it on my blog first #for context i was transcribing an oral history of the scientist pictured here and the minute he said he'd been on screen with alan #i had to drop everything and find the exact episode he was on so i could watch alan get excited about stingless bees in panama #it was a very productive day as you might imagine #alan alda #scientific american frontiers #calls of the wild

juvie buddies

#alek art #td duncan #td mal #total drama #total drama all stars #(if i want to get technical)#2024 #duncan is around 15 here... mal is around 16 #ive thought really hard about them these past few days . in my brain they actually knew each other and canon is different #duncan and mike got along really well. in juvie mal refused to speak to anyone about anything and would fight as many people as he could .#he wanted to stay in there and far away from home . they get roomed together and duncan is the first person who mal can talk to . he isnt #scared of him . he relates to him a lot . like -> wow we both act out for attention and people think we are terrible because of it #duncan being a mentally ill teenager seeing mal an also very mentally ill teenager thought 'i can fix him' . mike and duncan speak too here #i cant really see anyone else fronting besides those two . their brain was on lockdown and mike wanted out so bad . i see manitoba as a #gatekeeper so hed handle some sessions with their psych. i want to say they (duncan and mike) get moved to a psyche ward just because #i have more knowledge on being in one and how it goes ... but yeah i like duncan mal a lot . this art isnt ship whatsoever though 🙏 i dont #see them as a couple their dynamic is just better as friends imo #but anyways in all stars they obviously recognize each other but have an unspoken agreement not to say anything abt it #duncan is a known criminal but mike isnt like that . mike hadnt even told zoey about that part of his life . so duncan wanted to respect his #privacy -> then mal starts hurting people and he has to step in . mal isnt a good person by any means but i dont think he was that bad in #juvie . so duncan had to come to terms that his friend wasnt the same person he was years ago (in all stars duncan is ~18 and i think mike #is almost 20... so it had been a while since they last talked)#them getting each other like no other and being in pain because they couldnt really speak . i see them having a conversation still in moon #madness abt their past and history . god i just think abt them and their wasted potential wdym mike and duncan were in juvie together #duncan was in for trespassing or destruction of private property or something really dumb . mal fought his parent(s) and got in for assault #mal was already in when duncan was placed . and duncan was let out early on good behavior + his parents (dad) mostly did it to teach him a #lesson . wrong of them or otherwise . so mal was just kinda stuck there until they realized he was actually not right in the head . think he #knew abt their DID but was only diagnosed in juvie and had to go from there . tbh he shouldve been tried as an adult but td logic . doesnt #matter dw guys . mike gets the 'was put on random meds that made him go braindead' treatment bc that was me . post mental hospital abilify #had me messed up

so if solas sees himself in the inquisitor because of how they were made a leader, a prophet and a symbol by people who followed them, just as fen'harel had been made a leader and a saviour for by the freed elven slaves, will he see himself in rook because they're left alone against the threat they can't possibly defeat without singlehandedly making decisions that will impact the world in unknown ways, just as fen'harel had been left alone against evanuris with no other option but to create the veil

#just a thought. because 'what will they call you when this is over' haunts me to this day #anyway i genuinely wonder which way they'll take the solas-protagonist parallel this time #because it sure did happen before! but if they do that again there must be something they can offer #for now i see this like the inquisitor reflects that part of fen'harel story where he became a hero to his people #and then. the history got it all wrong.#but rook i think. their story might reflect the later and uglier parts of fen'harel's path. the ones that made their way into these legends #and then got spiced up with evil laughter. the hard decisions solas once had to make #it's not like inky's story didn't have that kind of decisions. but i think dai didn't focused on that kind of impact that much #also the inquisitor was backed up by their inquisition; as was fen'harel by his followers once #but at the end fen'harel is also known as who he hunts alone. you get the idea #I'm just speculating here but it seems our only kind of organisation is rook's companions. and whoever agrees to help them #without directly joining them. they have a lot less power than the inquisition did #which is interesting on it's own i think #but i think it would be interesting to see solas guide someone knowing full well they won't be able to make the right decision #because there's none #dragon age #dragon age the veilguard #solas #the inquisitor #rook

So, my kids enjoy torturing me, so they put on High School Musical 2 -- I will be putting on headphones and writing -- but first I had to watch the I Don't Dance scene, aka the best song about dismantling top/bottom stereotypes and gay sexual politics ever featured in a Disney movie.

#somewhere there's an interview with the actors who played ryan and chad where they said kenny ortega told them the day of the shoot #that they were going to switch clothes after the scene and they were both like 'uh. the song is already pretty gay are you sure lol?'#and he was just like 'trust me' and then they made history #hsm2

Little idle thought I've been having recently but I think Cyparissus' story is very important for characterising Apollo and Apollo's love. It's so easy to think of love and loss as two ends of a spectrum, likewise, so often, death is seen as an ultimate and tragic end in love stories - something final and inescapably tragic, the only force that halts love by separating the lovers.

Cyparissus' story is... not that. Yes, the deer dies and one can conclude then that death is once more at the heart of separating two lovers, but I think Cyparissus specifically requesting to die, specifically begging Apollo to let him grieve forever even after Apollo has done his best to help Cyparissus move on from the accident and Apollo letting him is a powerful thing.

Because Apollo not only puts Cyparissus' wishes over his own, he's also able to see past his own building grief to immortalise Cyparissus in such a way that both grants him his wish and allows other people to glorify Cyparissus as well! And I think such a beautiful thing is something criminally overlooked!

It's become something of a joke that 'all Apollo's lovers turn into plants' but from a functional perspective, flowers are the most brilliant way to keep the spirit of a beloved thing alive. Flowers are like stars - as long as there are humans, humans will always contemplate the nature of flowers and as the god of poetry and song, Apollo creating opportunities for his beloved mortals to be remembered eternally even if they never seized glory in the traditional way is such an intimate and beautiful thing. Even then, Cyparissus is elevated to a similar status as Daphne with Apollo's actions - not merely a plant or flower but one that specifically symbolises him, one that is extremely fragrant and beloved by him. Just as Daphne's laurels were synonymous with glory and victory, Cyparissus' cypress became a emblematic of grief and remembrance. Even today, thousands of years later, people still view cypress trees as mourning trees and plant them in cemeteries and use the ash in incense burnt in remembrance of others. How's that for Apollo keeping his word.

#ginger rambles #I think we should talk more about how Apollo's ability to immortalise people into those coveted halls of memory is so often done out of love #and how it is the closest many of his beloved mortals will ever get to godhood but even that is leagues better than the hundreds of warriors #and kings and scholars who worked for glory their whole lives only to be forgotten and lost among the sea of time and history #And then you have Daphne and Hyacinthus and Coronis Cyparissus and Evadne even Branchus whose affair is marked with the sprawling arms #or trees and forests - who would ever say they were unloved?#Daphne is eternally interesting to me btw because like idk what anyone says it doesn't matter that Apollo was hexed to love her by Eros #Even if what Apollo felt wasn't 'true' love he did feel true regret and made real and true penitence. Apollo literally spent #the rest of his immortal days wearing Daphne's laurels and making her his symbol until she became so synonymous with gods and glory that she #became symbolic of the gods and their kings themselves! Like!! It's obscure knowledge now that gods like Zeus and Poseidon had their own #preferred plants to wear as wreath crowns because laurel-crown is so iconic as the Look of a greek god #how could you not see that as love? even if it's retroactive? Apollo worked so hard to give her the glory he robbed from her and people #still choose to focus on the chase + transformation and “oh well Apollo and Daphne wasn't a love story it was assault/a curse!!”#my brother in Christ it counted to Apollo so it counts to me too #anyway just something I've been thinking about #apollo #cyparissus #daphne #greek mythology #ginger chats about greek myths

wait actually the "we should totally just stab caesar!" is really poignant and sad. and perfectly represents that aspect of adolescent female friendships like.... mean girls is so fucking good I will stand by mean girls for the rest of my life.

#we should totally just stab caesar #'nice wig janet whats it made of' 'your moms chest hair!'#'is your muffin buttered. would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin'#'on october third he asked me what day it was' 'what day is it' 'its october third'#im not being facetious. some of the best writing in cinematic history #absolute masterpiece im 100% serious #mean girls

What if Kevin had gone to Wymack after Kayleigh died. What if Kayleigh figured out her time was running out but could not for the life of her (literally) figure out how or if her son would be safe. What if Kayleigh Day knew that Kevin ending up with The Ravens would be the worst outcome and had made sure that plans were in place for Kevin to go to Wymack.

What if Wymack shows up at her funeral, seeing little Kevin and can't believe how much he looks like Kayleigh in person. How much he looks like him. And only finds out that he was Kevin's chosen guardian as per her wishes when her lawyer approaches him at the will reading. What if Tetsuji and Riko tried to fight that claim but Wymack immediately jumped on that responsibility.

What if Wymack raised Kevin?

#shut up capt #callum rumbles #Wymack already having the Foxes and Abby but being unable to let go of them for Kevin so he takes both in stride #Kevin being able to go to an actual highschool and being pretentious as he was always destined to be #getting top grades in all of his History/Social Studies classes but having chemistry blow up in his face #Wymack trying to help Kevin with some complicated Algebra 2 but throwing the papers across the table #Kevin always hanging around Wymack during practice and picking up on good coaching skills and maybe not so great language #Father & Son days where they are a bit awkward but are ultimately comfortable around each other because Kevin has been around longer #maybe when Kevin is a teenager Tetsuji gives Wymack the Kayleigh Letter #they do a paternity test immediately #but Kevin was already his son #he was already 'Dad'#the letter changes nothing besides kevin knowing who his bio dad is #Wymack calling him a plethora of bad Son nicknames and subjecting Kevin to dad jokes #by the time he is enrolled in Palmetto Wymakc has made too many references to Kevin's childhood that medicated Andrew brings them up 24/7 #'kevin i know you hated cliantro from ages 10 to 12 so dont make drink that sludge unless you want it shoved down your throat'#'dad has got to stop talking about me to you assholes'#aftg #kevin day #david wymack #coach wymack #kayleigh day #dont tell me if you cant do this irl let me live in ignorance /lh j #Kevin Goes To Wymack AU

time and time again i’ve been proven wrong yet i continue to live under the false assumption that everyone shares my same references and time and time again i have suffered for it (casually mentioned miku binder thomas jefferson to my brother, then in depth explained miku binder thomas jefferson to my brother)

#in the same conversation i made the mistake of mentioning homestuck and the alleged gray bath sharpie skin dye incident #once a guy said he worked in IT and i said ‘oh so a lot of your colleagues are furrys’ u know.. bc of the stereotype #and he said ‘what’ and i said ‘just a stereotype don’t worry about it’ and he said ‘no what’s a furry’#two days later i told my friends about this and you know what they said? they said ‘wait what’s a furry’ and there i was again #it happens so often #where do i begin to explain these things? i’m not qualified and never have the time for the proper care these things need #there’s history and nuance i can’t begin to get into and they always ask how i know these things #to me this is general knowledge to me everyone knows i am so incorrect #actually not over the people unaware of the furries and im sorry to furries for explaining it badly because i probably did #dels endless rambles

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

#we follow Derek from New York. Laura left for beacon hills. it’s been six years since he was back but he hasn’t heard from her #and hes going stir crazy waiting. he packs up and travels back. it’s almost too much immediately. he still can’t get a hold of Laura #he can’t resist going home. it’s like a natural pull that guides him back. all at once he’s 16 again. staring at the wreckage of his life #deputy stilinski is sherrif now. it’s reassuring in the slightest that the police force seems to have moved on from how corrupt it was #he catches her scent and it’s putrid. bile catches in his throat. he seeks it out. still in denial to what he knows it means.#when he finds Laura it’s like the world ends all over again. he can’t stand to see her like this. he gives her a proper burial.#the best he can do at least #he visits Peter. he’s not the man Derek remembers- so full of fire and cunning. their relationship may have been strained at times.#often Derek felt more like Eve being swayed by the snake than a normal friendship #but this isn’t the sharp tongued uncle who guided him. this is a broken shell. all that remained of his family. he was so lost.#22 but he barely knew how to function without his family- his pack paving the way #Laura handled everything. she got the apartment. she made sure they had food. Derek looks back and feels so useless #he was so lost in his grief. Laura must of felt the same way but she never let them drown in it #she made sure he got his GED. even got him to enroll in community college classes.#he took them online. he never was able to warm up to people the same way. he used to be so full of life. now he just wanted to be left alone #he studied English. never finished his degree. doesn’t look like he ever will now. he can’t go back to Laura and his shared home.#can’t bare to see another shell of a home #he vents to the vacant audience of Peter and his cold fixed eyes #Derek leaves. he wants to promise he’ll return soon #but promises feel costly these days #he decides to go back to the reserve. maybe he can find some clue as to what happened to Laura #someone lured her here. someone who knew them and their history here #his mind went to the worst. Kate. why would she go through the trouble six years later. why wait so long.#Derek couldn’t stomach the thought of facing her. he focused on the woods. the scents were all over the place.#clearly multiple people had been through here recently. two scents were much stronger. Derek follows them #but when he hears the crunch of leaves he realizes why the scents are so strong. they’re still here #he ducks behind some trees. listening in on their conversation. but an echo of their scent catches his attention #he spots an inhaler on the ground. he puts two and two together and swipes it from the leaves.#he comes out once they’re closer. tossing over the inhaler- he figures they’ll leave. dumb kids messing around in the woods #he reminds them this is private property. though that may not be true anymore. he recognizes the scent of a new beta. interesting.
