do you like tuataras ..

Yeah they're okay I guess

#herpetology #Sphenodon #Sphenodon punctata #natural history museum #CuratorCore #pictures of my face #that thing on the front of my skull #selfie #animals #tuatara #Rhynchocephalia #I currently have perhaps the only stuffed tuatara in Denmark residing in my office #because it is damaged and I had to confiscated it from a teaching collection #this thing is absolutely precious and should not be handled all the time #we are trying to get it fixed now #I know that this guy who is an intern at a coffee company made a whole thing about tuatara in a book he wrote #but I haven't managed to read it yet #so I do not understand nerdfighteria's relationship with tuatara at all #but I know that there is one #and that's beautiful #I am the worst nerdfighter #anyway #tuatara are very cool #but the whole third eye thing REALLY irks me #like #have you SEEN Chalarodon madagascariensis?#Tuatara's third eye ain't shit

As I'm dealing with that, I also want to know about the development of amalgamation within all the African empires.

#thats a whole continent away and also i need to unpack china first tbh.#but itd be so interesting to see how THEY responded to the change from panning gold to requiring additional processing #this was undoubtedly well-recorded by Timbuktu too #ahhhh i love history so much this makes me so happy #Oh additionally; if anyone has been following this saga and reading this far: I was reading Mercury Mining and Empire which is EXTREMELY #well researched and its such a joy to read although the subject matter is... god its hard. But im getting into the mercury toxicology bit #and the guy is explaining the difference between methyl mercury and inorganic mercury and im like u have done such a good job plz dont take #my thesis lololol #But also I'm hanging on this because its so well researched and he's spent time painting the picture of brutality that was enforced.#The Spanish Empire was so horrible.#I cannot emphasize enough how many people in the colonies knew this was wrong and even petitioned the king about the mita #and the petition was denied. They all wrote about the horrors of Potosi. They all knew where their silver came from.#One official notably wrote: 'I didnt come to the colony to have the doors of heaven closed upon me.'#and that plea to the crown hits harder than most of the descriptions.#ANYWAY sorry for the tag essay but my three hour flight was historically exciting~

Literally can't pay my rent until I get paid for September, which hasn't happened yet. Today is Friday, and Monday is the last day of the month. I'm so tired of being poor.

#i still cringe to call myself 'poor' bc i have my own apartment and can afford groceries #and even fun stuff like museums and cafe visits and public transport sometimes #but the reality of the matter is that after i pay off my student loans every month #i do not have enough money left to pay the following month's rent #and that's the way it's been my whole life #all my groceries and museum visits and coffee come from those few hundred euros left over #my whole life i've been choosing between 'having savings' and 'having even the smallest most humble life' and obviously i choose the latter #i never go to the movies #i buy all my clothes second hand (got some this past month after not having bought any new clothing in almost two years)#i have visited a museum TWICE this year #i go to restaurants like... once a month max #i am living the most frugal life that i possibly can without denying myself all pleasures #i don't even have netflix or anything like that! i only very rarely order delivery! i cook my own damn meals!#you get the picture #and yet still: one single missed paycheck is enough to potentially fuck up my life seriously #i've never missed a rent payment in my life but i'm scared it may happen this time #just wrote to HR of my former employer (who is supposed to still be paying me through october) to politely ask where my paycheck is #it's probably coming today (i sure as hell hope so) but if it doesn't... i legit don't know how i'm going to pay my rent #my rent is 673 euros and i only have 400 in my bank account #i probably have enough food in my pantry to survive for a month if i had to #but i've never missed rent in germany before (or ever) and i have no idea how long they'd wait before evicting me for non-payment #i'm scared. and i'm tired of being apparently the only fucking person in my social groups who is this poor #i am an over-educated 37-year-old professional who typically gets classed with the 'expats'#but one missed salary payment has me thinking about eviction and affording groceries #this is what i mean when i say i'm an immigrant. not an expat.#those people with their apple watches and co-working spaces and spontaneous trips to thailand or brazil are... a world apart from me #how come everyone i meet is so damn rich? where do i find fellow poor friends?#anyway i'm stressed. and i'm so so tired of spending my mental energy worrying about money #cosmo gyres #personal

which fictional character was Emma Mountebank's gay awakening?

I was sitting here looking at this for like ten seconds and then my answer entered stage left at light speed and hit me like a brick to the face: she def didn't REALIZE it at the time but like, in hindsight... Emma's Gay Awakening was Lara Croft circa 2001. The Angelina Jolie!Lara era.

Honorable mention to Evie's sai fight in The Mummy Returns (also 2001)

#I will now die on this hill #Emma watched the 2000s Lara Croft movies with Jacob and pretended to hate it all but she was having a gay crisis internally #(picture Dylan side eyeing her the whole time if this was a counselors activity. like girl I SEE you crisis-ing over there)#NO I'm not projecting at all why do you ask #literally tho I watched the mummy movies at LEAST once a month every month all throughout childhood #my parents didn't raise me those movies raised me I'm so fr rn #the sai fight scene....... that's when everyone Should Have Known bc I was OBSESSED #but like. shoutout to my dad for watching all of Angelina's Lara croft movies regularly bc clueless baby gay me ate that shit up too #see also: transformers except I was 12 and wrote na essay about how awful Michael bay is for how he treated Megan fox #kudos to my English teacher who had to put up with me ahsjkfhjfkhjg #ANYWAY this ask was a gift ty moth!!!!#answered #emma mountebank #headcanons #mine #the quarry

taro buys jiro a weird-looking kitty plushie

(this is a scene from my fic about taro and jiro going to the park and jiro getting a plushie! ;;w;;)

#gekkan mousou kagaku #delusional monthly magazine #jirotaro #tarojiro #jiro tanaka #taro j suzuki #my art #(i feel like i posted this at the wrong time or something so im reposting it--feel free to reblog even if you haven't read the fic!)#i finally finished illustrating this!! ;;w;; (ive been trying to finish this since i wrote it and idk why it's taken me so long T__T)#i realized while making this that i didn't describe the shopkeeper in my fic #i had imagined him something like this but bc i didn't describe him the shopkeeper could look like anyone #i realized also that i didn't describe taro or jiro either so they could have been furries for the whole fic and no one would have known #including me #but i meant for them to be humans #i think making references to their age did imply they were humans #also their hair is almost the same in furry form so describing their hair would not have helped in this case #i would have had to say something like #he grabbed taro's smooth hairless hand and taro stumbled forward without a tail to balance him #well there's probably another way to do it #anyway!! i finally illustrated my fic and i think there is a way to put images on ao3 so i might just put these pictures there!! \;;-;;/#btw! i am the first person who wrote a fic for this series!! i think i caused them to make a series tag for it #before my fic there was also a fanvid in the tag! \;;w;;/ but they didn't make it an official tag until mine #i think bc i didn't know what to tag and i put on like 3 variations of the series title

Substance, Shadow, and Spirit [remixed, abridged] by Tao Yuanming

#liv in the replies #patrice bergeron #boston bruins #brad marchand #do you ever think about how brad marchand said that when bergy retired he would retire or are you capable of normal thought i'm not at all #please say a gratitude for both my sanity& y'all that this poem (which has been saved in my camera roll with the vague idea of using it for #??? long) & not one of the poems i had saved for carey for a really long time & remixed & everything with another poem until i found a poem #that absolutely murdered me in cold blood but there is an alternate universe where i did& then had to explain my unhinged thoughts to you.#anyway how are we feeling about bergy retirement. pspspspsp sara & luna are y'all doing okay like. the doc title for this one was #patrice the hockey player means a lot to me but patrice the person means so much more #which is why the end line of the other poem was so *%"@^)! (you love / what you are) because patrice does. like he is a whole ass good huma #& now since no one asked i need to tell you all the details about everything also y'all please clap i made an edit with NO baby pictures #although i did find one & save it & minimal genres of photo i always use in edits because they're my taste & aesthetic but anyway.#when i saved the first photo and marked it as one i wanted i accidentally wrote “how will he know they love him” which is not the line but #makes me feel feral about patrice & the rest of them all had hurtful names too but also. the third picture is literally a CELLY like brad #just scored a goal & he is clinging to bergy for dear life with that shit i saved that as “oh the agony on his face for unendurable”#& yes it is one of my cliches to have a draft day picture but in my defense the lifelong bond that patrice has/d with boston deserved to be #there even if i put in the love story & YES that picture is from the 2011 playoff right below it shared joy & pain & i couldn't tell you #when the brad marchy photo for together forever is except for the fact that i saw it & just the gut punch of oh my god the way he looks at #things men will praise you for is the stanley cup. duh. but i love the contrast of “some deed” being the stanley cup but then #bergy's choice to do noble deeds (ends up still earning praise &that's my note to his efforts outside of hockey we love a supportive captai #should also mention the first two i came up with & had the photos i knew i wanted for were the first and last one alskaldk but i KNEW i #wanted chara somewhere in the paragraph about leaving & then while i was looking found the one of bergy playing tuukka on accident & yes #i do have to make goalie jokes every time. no reprieve . no dice/no deal/no goal goalies have no rest/reprieve etc etc the one that killed #me though was looking for a patrice award pic & i wanted basically the one that i got for “how will you know any will praise you” & instead #also got the picture of patrice winning the some community hero award for charity work that he does & i love him mama & of COURSE that puck #is from bergy's 1000 game who do you think I am (if you guessed sleepy and emotional about patrice you'd be right) and ALSO please be ready #for all the patrice posts/bruins posts that have been sitting in my drafts to be released on this occasion of patrice retirement #I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT TUUKKA ALSO RETIRED THAT’S WHY HE WAS ON WISE OR SIMPLE NO REPRIEVE AND THAT LATE OR SOON WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE #CHARA BECAUSE CHARA LEFT FIRST TO GO TO THE CAPS AND THEN LEFT IN RETIRMENT HE LEFT SOON BUT NOT FOR REAL THEN LATER LEFT FOR REAL (RETIRED)

I WANT to watch hate crimes md so bad but hospital dramas make my medical anxiety go so extra crazy

#I watched house in 2018 for a couple seasons and one day woke up in the middle of the night with abdominal pain #and wrote out my will in my notes app #actually I’m having a flashback to being like 10 and my mom watching house #and I caught episodes here and there #and in one ep some patient had pain and it did their little cgi body zoom in #and showed like. idk some kind of spine problem idk how to describe but can still picture it #like muscles or bones or discs slipping around in a way they shouldn’t #and the image haunted my whole childhood I would picture than happening inside my body any time I experienced any pain #anyway. I’ll probably end up watching it again regardless

in the midst of trying to write something else i just got slammed into by the idea of a bending au

#not like. full on atla or anything not even really bending #just kind of an affinity for different elements #tbh more of a character study than anything #airbender jonas - that's how he made it through all the super windy danish races as a teeny tiny junior and also the whole time trial thing #and like. climbing and breathing and all that #firebender tadej just glows with that kind of explosive power but also the risk of like. burning himself out when he tries to do too much #also had a good laugh trying to picture how the uci would regulate the shit out of bending #is it an illegal method i have a supernatural ability to bend the air around me during a time trial?#what if i wrote something

I know the chief advice for artists is to create for yourself, but I don't usually write just for me. I mean, I rarely write things I'm not at least a little invested it -- I choose the pairings, and the plot, and of course even when I'm writing for someone else it's going to have a piece of me in it. But when I'm writing, I'm pretty well always doing it with an audience in mind. As a general rule, I don't feel particularly compelled to write things out just for me. I'm usually content to just leave them as daydreams and fantasies, rather than put in the work of putting it onto paper. Writing is meant to be read, and I'm not really in the habit of rereading my own writing (I should. I know I should. But I don't, really)

But I think I'm going to take the time to write something really, terribly self indulgent. It's been... A year? Two? Since I wrote something just for me. I think a return to my roots would do me some good. Time to kill the reader in my head and write the most egregiously self-fulfilling fic I can come up with.

#and i think i shall employ kaz and astarion to do it #shameless vampire sex here i come #i think the last thing i wrote just for myself was the Keshet/Haurchefant hate sex fic?#and even that i was picturing the reception to the whole time #but that one was very much a 'writing to get the gremlins out' situation #thats kinda what makes me sad about having learned to write methodically rather than always being inspiration driven #theres less space frantic writing for writing's sake because the words are just always thete #and i mean i like that. its great and i appreciate being able to do that #but sometimes i miss the days of writing 10k words in a burst of inspiration that no one else is ever going to read or care about #kei's commentary #~k

i keep hearing noise about a linked universe discord where is this. where can i find this. i wanna lurk.

#not kpop #shut up vic #considering i have stuff i should be doing and i'm embarrassed to be asking about alternately nitty gritty and blindingly obvious loz lore #i probably wouldn't SAY much #but would love to be a fly on that wall #linked universe #this week on the wiki isn't helpful: can people in loz actually see the great fairy fountains why is pikango like 'would LOVE #to see a great fairy fountain please take a picture and show me' when the fountain is literally right up the hill just walk up there #why is the great fairy at kakariko losing her power there's a whole village down there that knows she's up there they talk about her #they're like 'our protector' so give her rupees?? are they just poor??? but they clearly have commerce considering the carrots and pumpkins?#i am confused please advise #anyway it's only relevant to linked universe in that i got brainrot and wrote 35k and then started thinking too hard about the world #but it got me thinking abt the legendary discord i've heard offhanded mentions of a few times #idk it's 3:34 am i need to be awake in like 6 hours anyway #gonna send this into the void and see what happens

#I gave him the book #dirty pretty things #written by this authors partner #I don't know if he liked what I wrote in it #because it was just something small that I had already said to him #but I hope maybe one day a long time from now #he might see it and remember #this poem was saved in my phone #I'm trying to clean basically my whole entire life #so I will be dumping some pictures here #mostly things like this #some funny sexy things #although I like to save those up for when I want to make him happy #flirty little fun messages #because I am the worlds worst sexter #I get quiet when I'm really turned on #which completely defeats the purpose #lmao #until I get loud #but that's like #in person #today I miss him extra #I got in big trouble #i deserved it though #some days everything feels so heavy #I try to stay positive #i just get touch starved so quickly #I don't really need a lot of actual attention #I just don't know how to get used to not being touched consistently #it makes me miss him a lot

Heyyy last anon here again.. all of that tracks honestly I really just hadn’t thought about that locket in forever and it being mentioned again took me out… really I fluctuate back and forth between which of them I think will propose pretty much every time I think about it…

My most favorite pet theory on a Laudna-initiated engagement is a potential resurrection/Delilah banishment.. she’s alive and not tied to Delilah anymore and euphoric in that and she gets Imogen alone and blurts it out (I do feel like maybe you wrote something similar to that too actually ?? Maybe.) Because I feel like of all the canon couples, Imodna ending the campaign with a proposal is the one instance that wouldn’t be forced or out of the blue at all.

YEAH no you get it!!!! honestly my two big hopes for BH post-campaign one shots are: 1) egg hunt extraordinaire, obviously, and 2) imodna wedding one shot BUT specifically with the framing of: they're getting married! but laudna wants to do one last thing first! she's decided that after some time in the puppetmaster seat, what she wants isn't to be in control of delilah anymore. she's ready to be rid of her. so they go perma-yeet delilah. and then get married :)

#the locket being mentioned took me out too & you bet it was because of including it in that fic #even if its context is different now: i am still EARS PERKING UP SITTING ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT about it #but yeah absolutely delighted that you had the association with my fic! genuinely made my night #any time someone mentions they've continued to think about something i wrote i do a euphoric little buzz around the room #and yes you're right re they could get engaged and it wouldn't feel out of place! the thing about writing Every Thought was that #a fake dating fic usually looks like 'oh no we need to look like we're dating & seem coupley!' but that doesn't work for them! they ALREADY #looked that way! so it needed to escalate!#and it was easy to make 'oops let's go from Not Dating to Married in the span of 3 days' work for them because #they STARTED the campaign more committed than some married couples. and they have been speaking in wedding vows the whole time!#it's not a big leap for them! not if delilah's out of the picture #also.. you won't find the fic in which laudna blurts out a proposal on the cairophoenix account... but that does not mean i did not write i #🤫#anon #asks
