Owl House: Who was your favorite character at the start and at the end?

I FINALLY FINISHED THE SERIES! So can finally answer this

Okay, so at the start, it was Eda, of course. I would be so surprised if Eda wasn't everyone's favourite at the start, and to a degree, she is still my favourite. I still aspire to be Eda when I grow up, she is my icon

BUT NOW, I have like, several favourites for many different reasons.

Like Hunter, King, The Collector and Willow are just MY BABIES! THEY ARE MY KIDDOS! I just want to adopt all 4 of them, for different reasons but I do! Willow is quite like me and I just want to shield her from shit, whereas Hunter is completely unlike me, but I still saw his struggles and how difficult his life is AND JUST WANT TO SHIELD HIM TOO! The Collector, for obvious reasons, he is just a kiddo! And he did bad things but they didn't know they were bad! They just need love goddamn it! And King, the little guy that since the beginning I have just wanted to adopt and hug for the rest of my life

However, I also love Eda, Darius, Lilith, Alador and Camila for being parental figures to different people, and being the guardians I wanted in life! they mean the world to me, they are so funny but also adorable to me

Gus and Hooty i adore for their one liners! I NEED MORE PEOPLE TO LOVE THEM AS MUCH AS I DO

AND RAINE! AND EBER! AND, literally any character I have talked about, they are beloved by me

However my top favourites (I won't be able to choose just one, i am not a decisive person!) are probably Eda, Alador, Darius, Camila, Luz (SHE IS AMAZING OKAY), Gus and King. The collector is up there too but you know. AND THAT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT I have a big heart (i have been described as heartless before but shush) so they can all fit there

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?

At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.

I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

♫ Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants ♫

[makiswirl]

can i just say. and this is probably a niche hill to die on. that i am so gobsmacked every time someone vaguely hints at the idea that jotaro doesn't care meaningfully for the other crusaders, usually particularly kakyoin and joseph, when those two actually tend to be the ones he reacts to being hurt the hardest

like he cares for his loved ones!!!! that literally plays into his character motives in every single part he shows up in!!! stop lying to me!!!!!!!

That sweat drop was a paid actor 🥵

Resurfacing this Max gif cuz wtf

[tartagliatum]

something so special about the pet name big guy. like yeah,, big boy with an even bigger appetite. the trashcan of his friends, the bottomless pit who seems to be able to eat for a family of five and then ask what's for dessert - but even he sometimes manages to overeat and needs a belly rub. probably a little embarrassed about it bc he's been warned this will happen with the large amounts he regularly eats. hell yeah i love me a big guy <333

Vitalasubzam Week 2024 1st day: Flowers / Symbolism

since this day is about flowers and symbolism ofc i went with hanahaki

notes:

dandelions indicating zam is p obvious -- after all thats what the guy uses himself -- but the fact that they, or more specifically their seeds, are tied to wish-granting adds a neat layer to it i think considering zam's symbol of being a star (in my interpretation) also ties in to wish-granting

this whole thing is based on zam going "subz can fix me," and while i didnt know how to portray it without making an entire comic which i didnt really wanna do, he actually doesnt want the flowers gone he just wants subz to stitch not just his chest close but also his mouth

i was originally gonna make the thread purple but decided to go with green

the x's, while supposed to be tied to the whole stitching theme going on, are red instead of green because of zam

i had trouble picking the bg color cause on one hand i wanted to make it dark but on the other hand i wanted the focus on subz despite the composition which would need a lighter color, in the end i chose the same white as zam's shirt cause i like that it made him look cut off

zam has no nipples cause his species (skyformes) are homunculi in my Minecraft LoreTM (he should also have way more scars than just his neck but i havent decided where to put them yet)

this was actually drawn right when i changed zam's design to have red teeth but it made making the dandelion seeds visible a nightmare so i decided to just keep them white in this drawing

Coffee addict Never sleeps Tim drake ❌ 

Solving cases in his sleep off 87 energy drinks Tim Drake ✅

The coffee addict never sleeps perpetually tired Tim Drake thing is a widely accepted headcanon however that was elementary school tim but after he stayed up for a week straight subsisting entirely on coffee to decipher the bat weekly patrol schedule and how it aligns with rogue attacks/Arkham breakouts, he crashed then when he woke up it was fucking wednesday so he missed his chance to commemorate his discovery with pictures of Robin and he decided that shit would never happen again and made himself an ‘efficient’ sleep schedule so he could run around doing fuck shit, add to his robin shrine, and stay on honor roll bc he was even more pissed to see the gotham gazette had pictures of Robin with an on site interview credited to Vicki Vale (listen bowl cut tim had a one sided beef with vicki vale that included tim judging who gets better pics of the bats but she isn’t even aware that she’s competing with a whole ass child 😭 he’s sitting at the table with a mug of orange juice and looks at the newspaper snorts and goes ‘fucking amateur I could do better’) 

Regularly unsupervised tiny businessman in training Tim ‘Ten hours of uninterrupted sleep?? That’s so inefficient not to mention fucking stupid’ Drake is so pissed he missed getting shots of Robin dropkicking a rogue from 6 six stories up (for absolutely no reason dick just thinks it’s fun) that he just takes at least 3 hour naps every eight hours 😭 he refuses to spend almost half a day sleeping ‘for no reason when he could be doing something productive’ 

And he still does this as a bat but it’s just easier to tell if he didn’t take his nap bc he has less than zero impulse control and he’s just fucking done with everything like the gcpd is terrified bc tim’s saying shit like ‘This guys a fucking moron, I could’ve done this in half the time without killing anyone fucking loser doesn’t he know if you keep them alive you can prolong the torture?’ and ‘you’re like all hysterical and for what 🤨 ‘you blew up 83% of Bristol waah’ stfu and fucking rebuild it?? It’s only rich mfs that live there, it’s just a matter of them opening their fucking wallets’ once a new recruit made the mistake of asking if robin had adult supervision regularly and Tim responded with ‘well if you’re gonna snitch to cps like a little bitch then yeah’ and that cop did snitch so tim fucking doxxed him

Yj has just accepted that sometimes they will find tim in an air vent, on the roof, in one of their closets, or something just fucking knocked out then an alarm will go off and he’ll just get up like nothing happened but for the first couple of months they were probably concerned bc ‘I’ve never seen you sleep?? wtf are you on man’ and Tim’s confused bc ‘I slept next to you this morning wdym??’ and that’s how yj discovers tim sleeps with his eyes open

But one of the worst things about Tim’s ‘time efficient sleep schedule’ nonsense is that it fucking works he’s one of the most well rested and coherent bats even after back to back Arkham breakouts however the absolute worst thing about his sleep schedule is the likelihood of going into the cave and seeing tim staring in a daze but wide eyed yet somehow never blinking at the batcomputer with 57 tabs open on top of being unresponsive and thinking he has a fucking concussion or he’s been replaced but he’s just doing case work while muttering nonsense in his fucking sleep for some reason

Obsessed with tarzan!Max and his preference for wearing Daniel's shirts. Now I'm wondering how Daniel feels about this? 👀 and when he gets them back, are they a little stretched out from Max's broader shoulders? Smell more like his earthy musk and sweat than soap?

Hi friend <3

I think daniel is very smug about clearly being max's favorite and he's quickly grown very fond of him so he likes that max seems to prefer his shirts. I think he gives up a couple for the cause so that max gets to keep them.

maybe max has some nesting habits? has a few places where he likes to sleep and to make them cozier he likes to make little nest-beds with grass and leaves and maybe birds feathers? and he adds the tshirts to them too. but daniel can't exactly give all his shirts away, so he asks for most of them back and at first max is very confused because daniel gave it to him? that's his now? and they have to explain to him the concept of borrowing and sharing lol

the tshirts are a bit stretched out, not much because max is bigger, because daniel likes his tshirts oversized anyway, but because max fiddles with them a lot, tugging them and tying them when they get in the way, and maybe getting stuck in them a few times when trying to get them off.

and daniel won't admit it, probably not even to himself at first, but he likes to see max in his clothes. at first he tells himself it's because he just prefers max to be clothed (liar, he liked to ogle at his strong body) but then he has to admit he prefers when he's in his clothes. because it makes max feel a little closer, not like someone who could just disappear in the jungle at a moment notice and never come back, and because it feels like max is a little more his, not as free and wild. someone he could keep. even if i don't think daniel is at a "i like max" stage quite yet.

and yes, the clothes are to be washed when max gives them back, because even if none of them is that careful with not getting dirty since they're in the middle of the jungle, max seems to make them three times dirtier by climbing trees and laying on the ground and jumping into rivers and hanging out with all sorts of animals. but daniel doesn't mind. and if the clothes still smell a bit like max even after being washed (they just have a limited amount of soap and river water it's not like they can do miracles) he's not going to complain about it.

maybe one time he has no clean tshirts left, between max stealing and/or wearing them and the fact that they don't do the washing too often, and instead of being a normal person and asking one of the other guys for one he decides to wear one max had already worn and isn't (surprisingly) too dirty. he finds himself bringing the collar up to his nose to smell it way too often lol (i know what you are...)

this also made me think about max cuddling up to daniel to sleep. he has a weird sleep schedule, is up a lot during the night and take a few naps during the day, and he likes to check on his usual spots, but he almost always come back when the night is almost heading into dawn and curls up around daniel, pressing his face against daniel's neck.

the first time he did it, daniel startled so hard he hit max and max had ran away like a kicked puppy. daniel had to work pretty hard to convince him to come back and that they weren't fighting and yes max was allowed in the tent, no daniel wasn't marking his territory. but now daniel expects it and lets max be his big spoon <3

wait wait hold on, i was pressing post and had another thought!

obviously max doesn't have a name right? because why would he. so daniel gets to give him one and goes for something ridiculously excessive like maximus emilian the first of his name, or something like that. max for short <3

Hello.

My name is Vox.

In this script,

I will be teaching you

About hypnosis

While also hypnotizing you

Everyone is hypnotizable

Even you

However,

Some people have trouble 

Going into hypnosis

And this is normal.

For this script

Do not worry

Weather you are really

Being hypnotized

Or not. 

Just relax

Focus on my words

Enjoy how they make you feel

Keep in mind

That hypnosis

Is not mind control

I cannot make you do anything

That you do not want to do

And you can wake up

At any time you need.

You may become

More suggestible

During hypnosis

And following the suggestions

Of a hypnotist

Feels very good.

So you may find yourself

Wanting to do

What is asked

Especially since

You and the hypnotist

Share a goal

And are working together

To hypnotize you.

But still

Your mind is your own.

While there are many theories

About hypnosis

Most agree that

At its core

Is a heightened state of focus.

Like right now

You may find yourself

Especially focused

On my words.

The sight of my words

Appearing on your screen

In short

Easy to read

Chunks

That make my words

Sink

Deep

Inside your mind.

It is normal to have thoughts

Of other things

During hypnosis.

If your mind wanders,

All you have to do

Is shift your attention

Back to the hypnosis

To the words

You are reading

And you will go

Deep into trance.

It can be helpful

To have a metaphor

To quiet thoughts.

For example,

Imagine your thoughts

Are written on a white board

Just as soon as they are written

They are erased again

Until your mind is clean

And blank

New things may be written,

But just as quickly

They are erased again.

Until your mind is clean

And blank

Of everything

But my words.

The typical hypnosis structure

Is made up of

Three parts.

Induction

Suggestion

And waking up.

The purpose of induction is

To bring you into trance. 

There are many ways

To do an induction

Explaining how

Hypnosis works

Is a common induction.

But anything can work

To bring you into trance

If it is used to draw your focus.

Trance is a normal state of being

You may notice it

In your daily life

When you become very focused

And lose track

Of things around you

All your thoughts

All your senses

Focused

On one thing. 

Once you are in trance

You may find yourself

Highly receptive

To suggestions. 

Suggestions

That deepen trance

Are used during induction

Such as

The suggestion

That you are very focused

That you are very relaxed.

But once you are

Deep into trance

Like you are now

Almost any suggestion

Can be made

And it would feel

So good

And so easy

To follow along.

I could ask you to do

Almost anything

And naturally

You would find yourself

Wanting to do as I ask

Wanting to think

What I tell you to think

And it would feel

So good.

However,

Since this is an introduction

I won’t spend too much time here

And instead

I’ll give you the chance

To think

About what kind of suggestions

You might like to experience

Next time you are in a trance.

And now,

It is time to

Gently wake you up.

Typically, a hypnotist

Should help you to gently return

To your normal state of mind

Or to what I like to call

“The waking world.”

Some people wake up quickly,

While others need more time

And that’s okay.

No matter how you experience it,

It is alright,

And just how you are meant to experience it.

Slowly, you will become more aware

Of the room around you.

What objects you can see.

What sounds you can hear around you.

You will feel normal thought returning

You may think about what you did earlier

What you may do later

Still feeling relaxed

Just gently allowing thought to return

And allowing your focus to shift to other things.

Gently move your limbs,

Stretch a bit when you feel ready.

And take as much time as you need to wake up.

You can always return here when you need to

But for now, you feel ready to continue on with your day.
