Me when Ashton Greymoore is denied honorable and meaningful self-sacrifice, and now must face the reality that they MUST keep living after it’s All Over

#critical role #critical role spoilers #cr spoilers #ashton greymoore #bells hells #cr ashton #like #Tal and Ash were both so clearly ready #for Ashton to sacrifice themselves. and comparing that to Ashton’s backstory #to Ashton being left behind as a sacrifice. and becoming bitter(er) and lonely and denouncing ever growing close to someone again #to meeting letter. and learning from letters. and so much about telling letters not to self sacrifice.#but then letters does. and Ashton is ready to go to. he’s prepared to go out to save everyone #and he was so prepared for that to be where his story ends #but he doesn’t. and not through failure but through success #and now (though more trials still await) they must face the reality they must keep living after it all #and face the reality that they will not survive alone.#that they have come out the other side. alive but changed. but not in some miraculous way.#they are not healed. they did not go out protecting those they loved. and they are forced to contend #with the fact they will continue to walk this earth. as it is changed. but not miraculously fixed. but not sacrificed #and like. Ashton having to contend with the change. that the Thing is over. but they are not alone #they are alive. and have friends and a love. and a world familiar and new to love and learn #that they have a connection to but not an ancient force they are upholden to #that they and the earth will learn together #I’ll be honest only the first half of these tags was planned when I started typing about ash being forced to contend with having to live #having to live despite it all. that there’s no big change. no miracle. good or bad. but you must keep going. and how beautiful that is #for Ashton’s story and just in general for people who would resonate with him #but then like I remembered they’re gonna scare off the gods and so exandria is totally gonna change but like #consider my initial point and how beautiful it is #and how I managed to shoehorn it in to still make sense #babblestar

How do you manage to just come up with whole new environments/ecosystems?? I still come back to your "i think you're so good (and i'm nothing like you)" because I was so impressed by the way you portrayed the abyss there<3

my brain knows no rest

#on a more serious answer i would not call that a 'new' environment or ecosystem #it's just a remix of what we have on earth #rainforests do exist irl and that's what i based the abyss off of #kind of #so you just take the different environments we have here and put them in different orders that you wouldn't normally find #and then replace the fauna and flora with slightly different versions of the ogs #and some 'new' critters that are just three others in a trenchcoat #like yeah sure canyon rhinos aren't real no real rhynos melt their eyes off #but rhinos are real #animals are known to use herbs on themselves for various reasons #butterflies do eat salt and some will try to eat salt off of your body if possible #it's a sense-making assumption that if you turn the fucked-up level a couple notches you'll get canyon rhinos and wraith butterflies #it's not about inventing it's about putting things on a board and forcing a connection #like how people say you shouldn't ask if character A would do something #but rather that if the were to do something how would they do it #and that that's where you get interesting fic #anyway uhhh thank you ily mwah <3

9.16.24 / 9.17.24 - september supermoon

#last img is a composite btw. wanted moon clarity AND noise blowout; had to get clever to have both #‘she’s was so big and bright last night!’ - my mom #did you know the moon completes its orbit around earth in 27.3 days? it also completes a spin along it’s axis every 27.3 days #so we always see the same side of moon locally; but it depends on where you’re at on earth #the lunar cycle completes every 29.5 days - as opposed to the 27.3 it takes to complete its own orbit;#that’s a difference of 2.2 days!#something something pythagorean comma #like the leap year! a sidereal year is 365.25 days; every four cycles we gain a ‘semitone’ - an extra day #in musical scale: if you complete a circle of fifths using just intervals of perfect fifths; you’ll gain a quarter of a semitone #the interval leading from an old octave into a new one. like a step forward; a comma which denotes transition #so not a ‘circle’ but a spiral/fractal #in western music we flatten each fifth by a 12th of a pythagorean comma to give us our seven ‘perfect octaves’#also called ‘equal temperament’#this flattens each fifth by ~2 cents to eliminate the perceived discordance cause by the slight bump in tone #I’m not saying there’s a metaphysical connection between the chromatic scale and lunar activity #but #it’s neat when you notice that our moon (and other celestial neighbors) move with a sense of musicality #even if that is a modal sense of musicality and not a tonal sense #raw planet sounds be like: BWAAAAAAAEEERRREEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. or at least the signals they blast out into space sound like that #my art #aesthetic #art #artwork #webcore #internetcore #glitchcore #abstract #artists on tumblr #photography #moon

indeed my exact process once every 8 months or so

#I just thought today of a new way to format a 'profile' (like the descriptions of self that people use on friend meeting #apps and stuff) and how to organize the sections so that it seems such and such a way and oh what if there's links which click off #into branching paths so it's very acessible and there are two different forms depending on so on and so forth #and i was like 'um.. wow. amazing idea. this will be soooo aweseome and will definitely work' but then .. you know...self reflection #lol.. is this just like the millions of other iterations of a similar thing? No.. This Is Different ... Surely...#Though if I had a millionaire friend and a few people who do the type of coding you use for web design stuff and etc..#I could create the most elaborate detailed and amazing platonic friend seeking (and I guess you could also have 'dating' as an option #since that would draw in more of a crowd) website on the earth.. the new okcupid (back when okcupid didn't suckishly abandon their #whole format in hopes of trying to become just like tinder or whatever and they actually had like tons of info and percentages and #open answer questions and would list personality traits on a profile (like 'this person is more Open To New Expereinces than 65% of #other users' etc.). etc. etc. Oh what a beautiful thing I could craft for the detail freaks of the world.... Alas...#unfortunately we seem to be in an oversimplification era.. everything in short quick bites. everything on a tiny phone screen. etc.#marketing 'Introducing The Most Complicated Data Heavy Social Connection Site In The World' would not sell well I'd imagine gjhgjh #AANYWAY.. also no idea why the representation of me is in a turtle neck. what a bold fashion choice..#In another moment of self reflection.. the fact that in the first tag on this post I felt the need to define the word 'profile' just to be #specific as if people couldn't tell from context.. so clearly someone who finds filling out forms a 'fun afternoon activity' lol #the type of guy who finds psych evaluations and pop quizzes and making chore lists mostly enjoyable (< true)

Stepping into AU territory, what if Zuko had a childhood friend his own age? The son of some noble or general or bureaucrat perhaps?

One from before his exile?

What kind of arc would they have had and how do you think it would have affected Zuko's arc?

Uuuuh... well. On one hand, I'd appreciate that because I hate the fact that Zuko seems to have zero connections with his nation beyond his family. And no, Mai doesn't count, let alone Ty Lee, because they were Azula's friends first, ergo, he only knows them because of his sister: connections through his family.

So on paper, I'd like for Zuko to have a friend from the Fire Nation that maybe was a strong connection for him.

If it was a positive friendship, it would be interesting to see Zuko grappling with the reality of all his worldview changes upon returning home in Book 3... to find that his best friend is still in the same mindset of believing the Fire Nation's rhetoric. This could make Zuko a more active character throughout Book 3, and it would enhance the whole "he's got everything he wants now, but is it REALLY what he wants anymore?!" theme they were going for with him here. So that would have been interesting for sure, and there'd be two possibilities: either Zuko reforms this fellow, or he fails to, and they might have a depressing friends-to-enemies arc where Zuko has to fight his friend and defeat him (hooopefully with more compassion than he showed his sister, I dunno :'D).

There's also the possibility of the "friendship" being negative, which means toxic, which means not really friends but fake friends? Zuko and this guy could've had a competitive, unpleasant dynamic all along that then gets worse once Zuko comes home a hero and MAYBE this guy is scheming to try and get one over Zuko...? It would be a very unpleasant thing but it would serve to show how the Fire Nation's society in itself is corrupted and it's nearly impossible to tell who's friend or foe. This guy could be a social climber who simultaneously wants to put Zuko down and humiliate him and endear himself to Ozai by doing so? I dunno, this could be a bit of a stretch, but it's also a way to take that concept forward.

As for the final possibility... a friend who joins him on his journey? :'D as in, a fan-favorite concept with mild AUs that follow the same path but you add whoever to the exiled prince (or princess)'s journey? I... don't really vibe much with that. Iroh's already there as a mentor figure. A second character involved here would just clutter the situation and either wear on Zuko further (if the guy is, say, a comic relief type who makes his life a mess along with Iroh), or just... not provide much to the story other than needless drama? So, in this specific scenario, I wouldn't be too interested, personally, in exploring this route. Would be a little odd, imo.

All this being said, interesting things can be done by giving Zuko some more basic social graces, or just making it clear that his status means people will want to use him for connections or to improve their own status through him. It's, if anything, quite strange that canon decided to make him the biggest loner of all time, whose only friends in life apparently were his mother and uncle, and maaaaaybe if you squint Mai and Ty Lee but even that's not something pre-banishment, or at least, doesn't really look like they were particularly close in Zuko Alone. It makes the sudden turn of the finale, where Zuko is universally beloved and people are ready to die for him, while his sister is completely abandoned, feel a little less contrived. The whole concept that Azula was loved by randos and Zuko was not has never made any sense to me, because we have zero evidence of that. Zuko absolutely had more people on his corner, beats me why or how, and the story somehow wants to convince us of the opposite. So... I'd be perfectly happy for some of the story's themes (Zuko knows how to be friends with someone, Azula doesn't) to be enforced further with an OC like this one, who could show us that Zuko CAN be a good friend. Would be a change of pace that makes the guy a little less disagreeable for me, who knows? :'D

#anon #yeah yeah me and my Zuko disparaging agenda we're here to stay always (?)#nah but really I would love for this guy to have real connections to his people #and it's wild how the comics STILL don't give him this #who are the new FN characters who matter at all?#... ah. Right. His new little sister and potentially step-father #so... FAMILY! :'D #Zuko's streak of being incapable of making friends with his FN peers continues to be impressive #how on earth are you king of the nation and nobody wants to be your friend anyhow #boggles the mind...#(and yes I know maybe it's ZUKO who doesn't wanna be friends with them!! But that's its own can of worms because he's RULING OVER THEM!#ergo he SHOULD #theoretically #want to connect with his people in order to truly understand them and do better by them and fix the horrible ideology they've been raised i #but what do I know :'DDD)

2025 Animal of the Year:

The Snake, of course.

I am born in the year of the Snake. I am an Earth Snake and while the snake gets a bad reputation, it actually stands for so many positive things.

Luck, healing, eternal love, good fortune, protection from harm, personal growth, and the cyclical nature of life and death.

This is the Year of the Wood Snake.

2025 is a year of reflection, recalibration, and renewal, offering a mix of calm energy and intellectual challenges. The Snake’s intuitive wisdom, paired with the nurturing Wood element, creates a time to refine your long-term goals and strengthen personal and professional relationships.

Major Themes:

Transformation: A year for letting go of what no longer serves you and embracing meaningful change.

Strategic Growth: Success will favor those who plan meticulously and act wisely.

Deepening Connections: Introspection and emotional intelligence will help navigate relationships, promoting empathy and understanding.

#2025 #snake #year of the snake #year of the wood snake #wood snake #earth snake #chinese new year #chinese lunar year #lunar calendar #transformation #strategic growth #deepening connections #;; my 2025 #txt #💭;; tori speaks #🌼;; motivation

I have a question, what do Earth and Titan think of each other?

Earth: I once gave him a rose and he seemed enamoured by it! It was kinda cute. He said he'd love to have kept it at home when he finally learned how to grow one someday... I hope he does. Titan: Seeing that rose for the first time was an experience... it made me want to work harder at being able to sustain life like his! I hope someday I'll be able to achieve that. Earth is so cool!

He was amazed by that rose so much, that he tried to replicate it from memory with his atmosphere.

Titan is actually a fanboy for Earth! He's always looked up to Earth as a role model. Because of this, sometimes Saturn does invite Earth over for a cup of tea so that they can have a chat. Titan is pretty shy though, compared to the outgoing Earth and Saturn!

It was said there was an ice volcano nicknamed "The Rose" on Titan's surface, now better known as Sotra Patera.

#art #gijinka #solar system #heliosphere: under the sky #earth #terrius #titan #planets #moons #saturnian moons #asks #ask #shinysweetsvegan #i kid you not i just wanted him to be fond of roses because he's fancy #and i'm currently with some new brainrot of a character i really like... and he's associated with wild roses. he's da cutie #but also i wondered if there was an irl connection between roses and titan and i found that #i'm sure they no longer call it a rose though but it was fascinating they used to nickname it that if true

Different style practice dood with Catseye!

I haven't read stuff she appeared in yet but I really love her design! Also wtf she's like 14? Why is she so sexualized?

#catseye #sharon smith #x-men #hellions #also I kinda ship her with wolfsbane but not sure since she died when she likely was 15-18? and wolfsbane is like in her early/mid 20s now?#she was 19 in academy x and as of now they're all at least 21?#I think there is an inherent angst dying and coming back to a new world and kinda hard to rebuild connections since the people you once hun #out with are now a decade older or something esp if u died young and were gone for “decades”#earth 616 #she's like the og furry #SHE CALLS HERSELF FURPERSON #new mutants #i feel like a fake fan tagging new utants despite not reading it #marvel

Making a mental map of my OC universe's various gods is so fun. I have at least a rough idea for the roles and personalities of 13 active gods (ie not including Storm since they're a FORMER god) but there's definitely more than 13. How many? I have no idea. But ideally if I made this universe into any sort of real project it would leave enough room for people to make OC gods

#there are 4 weather gods. 5 time gods. 3 life/death gods. and topaz the goddess of fire (not REALLY a weather god)#if i were to make more gods the first i'd make would be a god of earth (similar to topaz but connected to the life gods)#also underlings for the life gods. or maybe an overseer god for the life gods?#since both weather and time have overseers but the life gods don't #anyways there's lots of room for fun new characters #oc tag

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time and effort to put together the long climate/environment post, especially the online resources. I've wanted to replace the neglected/dead non-native plants at my place with native plants for months, but didn't know where to start my search for species except to walk around my local nature preserve trying to find something that isn't invasive lol. I'll be able to start (re)introducing native plants this month because of you :-)

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad the post has been helpful and inspiring. If you'd like more directed guidance on native plants, I can probably point you in the right direction if you can give me a general area to work with (state would suffice!). In general, go for keystone species- those that are common in your area and support many kinds of insects- or pollinator favorites, or host plants for rare/imperiled butterflies/bees/moths.

#glad I could help :)#unfortunately I think too many people forget that helping the environment is much more than recycling or taking public transit #the most direct tangible difference comes from preserving habitat #because that's where ecosystem services come from - clean air and water and carbon sequestration and fish/game habitat #and much more. we need biodiversity and functioning ecosystems to be able to cope with climate change. if habitat is lost and #fragmented then local populations of plants and animals will struggle to persist #they need to be able to move through the landscape safely. to migrate and shift their ranges and find food #they need to maintain gene flow and a source of new individuals to keep populations alive #habitat fragmentation is as insidious a threat as habitat loss. every time a new housing development is built we chop up the land more #but it's easy to restore those stepping stones #and the effects are measurable. you'd be surprised how many species including rare ones can show up in these little patches #because a corridor can support many more species than each patch alone. connection trumps isolation. connection saves us.#the earth is a living breathing thing. the soil is alive the water is alive. this entire biosphere coevolved together. we can't break it up

The way this article pointed out stuff in The Little Mermaid that I never noticed before:

#eric's castle #disney #the little mermaid #fictional castles #disney castle #essay #character analysis #i love how they pointed that the rest of the castles in disney are always above the people #but eric's is the only one that is on-par with the people #with the village even being bigger #and they pointed how he unlike the vast majority of disney royals if not all of them is quite down-to-earth/grounded and does not treat his #subjects like they either underneath him or as too different from him because he does not hold this sheltered view of the world the way #other disney royals do. i already knew he was the most humble and grounded but i never thought it was THAT deep #i think this set the standard for the new archetype of the prince in disney that was way more down-to-earth and cooler #i mean i knew that eric's kingdom being warm is supposed to contrast the coldness of the sea #but i never connected that symbolism to the castle and how it represents ariel ascending to the human world #like that blew my mind #and it goes to show how much thought was really put into the movie #but because it's mostly nuanced hardly anyone notices it #also it goes to show that eric as a character actually has way more depth and dimension than he is given credit for
