So I was rewatching Earthspark (season 1) again and for some reason I wanted to know how much Energon Bumblebee lost during that one part in Home Part 2
Because science is just someone going “ooo I wonder what happens if-“
That’s me.
Anyways I counted the time from when the main tube went into his throat (27:27) and when he got cut down (31:40) and I just rounded that to 4 minutes and 20 seconds because why not right?
And I was doing this with one of my friends and she said the amount going through the tube in those little sections looked like half a cup (3 fluid ounces) an there was one of those every 3/4 of a second pretty much.
Tumblr media
Like this part ^
Anyway a bunch of math later that added up to 1,040 fluid ounces which is 8.125 gallons which is 30.756 liters
And then based on the symptoms after he got down (lack of awareness and stuff since he didn’t react to Twitch getting thrown into a train) we decided he lost between 30% and 50% of his Energon (using our handy dandy blood loss chart)
Also there were so many ads
Tumblr media
She’s so good at spelling.
Anyway yeah that’s it thanks for coming to my ramble have a nice day

11yo Remus makes it his Nr1 priority to find out when Sirius has his birthday.
If he had ever seen a person who didn't get to eat chocolate cake, it was Sirius. With the storm in his eyes and the laughter when he was angry or sad.
But Sirius dismisses every attempt at it. Redirects the attention to anything else.
And it's not like Sirius hates all birthdays either... He gifts Remus one of those magical quills that make your writing more legible that remus had been dreaming about since he saw them at diagon alley this summer.
And James gets half a phial of some golden potion that remus hadn't bothered to pay attention to, and that had James speechless for a morning.
No, it's something different. The quick glances between long lashes, when hopes famous birthday cake for Remus arrives. When James' beloved treacle tarte gets served for every meal on his birthday, by the house elves.
These glances, that are so very quick, as if sirius fears he'd destroy something when looking for too long. Filled with this longing, nearly greed, and then covered by shame and laughter that could mean anything. He won't even take a slice of the cake Remus tries to gives him.
It makes Remus cry. To know his friend doesn't dare to eat cake, or even voice his desire to have some.
When remus talks to James about this, both have to cry a little, and both act like it's just sand in the air that caused it.
And both decide they'll celebrate Sirius' birthday on the train ride back home, and then spend the summer with trying to find out his actual birthday!

I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm
if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"
I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix
(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)
this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.
in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.
but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.
one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.
and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.
my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.
yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.

And now for something completely different.
Tumblr media
This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).
So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.
If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.
And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.
One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.
This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.

Broke: Giovanni is Ash's father
Woke: Giovanni has mistakenly believed Ash was his hookup mistake for like a decade and is about to get the surprise of the century seeing that not only are they not related, but the employee he fired a few years ago for being too stupid is now living with him and being a more active father than he was

"The shift from the Afro-Caribbean zombie to the U.S. zombie is clear: in Caribbean folklore, people are scared of becoming zombies, whereas in U.S. narratives people are scared of zombies. This shift is significant because it maps the movement from the zombie as victim (Caribbean) to the zombie as an aggressive and terrifying monster who consumes human flesh (U.S.). In Haitian folklore, for instance, zombies do not physically threaten people; rather, the threat comes from the voduon practice whereby the sorcerer (master) subjugates the individual by robbing the victim of free will, language and cognition. The zombie is enslaved."
— Justin D. Edwards, "Mapping Tropical Gothic in the Americas" in Tropical Gothic in Literature and Culture.

I've had this thought for a while but only just realized I have a tumblr now so I can actually get that thought to reach ppl who'll share my level of madness.
So Sonic yeah? Pretty much the entire main cast are all anthropomorphic animals, excluding Eggman and his family tree. Across adaptations of Sonic, there's not a lot of consistency on what the general population outside of Sonic and the Gang are composed of. In shows like Boom, Prime, and the IDW comics, it's almost entirely animals, and Eggman's the odd one out:
Tumblr media
But in other versions, where there are humans, Eggman still sticks out like a sore thumb:
Tumblr media
It's also worth noting that in some Sonic games, there are regular, non-anthropomorphic animals in addition to anthropomorphic versions
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Yes, Vector is a crocodile not an alligator, but they're close enough taxonomically to be significant. You can't convince me that the difference between alligators and crocodiles in this universe is that one swims in freshwater and the other has bills to pay)
So here's my theory: there's cartoonish, anthropomorphic versions and realistic, non-anthropomorphic versions of the animals, right? So why wouldn't this extend to humans? After all, they're mammals just like hedgehogs and foxes are. AND THAT'S WHAT EGGMAN IS. He's an anthropomorphic animal like Sonic, it just happens to be that the animal he's based on is a human.
Eggman is an anthropomorphic human. He's human squared.
Thank you

This makes me so sad and also I'm trying to remember if any of the Discworld books dealt with late stage capitalism

So while rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender recently, I noticed a trend
A number of spirits we see have an animal form, specifically animals we recognize as "normal" for us. For example:
- Wan Shi Tong is an owl and his knowledge seekers are foxes
- Tui and La are koi fish
- Hei Bai is a panda
-The guardian of the mother of faces is a wolf (The Search)
Heck there's even the talking Baboon spirit and the monkey missing its face that we see in the Spirit World at the end of Season 1.
Basically every time we've seen a "normal" animal, they've been a spirit.
My point? I argue that Bosco is a spirit bear that's chilling and living the good life in the mortal world just because he can.
