Why do so many people unironically think the Fire Nation is the misogyny-less “girlboss” nation. What the fuck.
#avatar the last airbender#the fire nation#‘haha Zuko learns about misogyny’ he spent thirteen years around his dad I can guarantee you he knows what that is#like. the fucking weirdness of exalting the genocidal colonizer nation above all else aside#it’s just textually untrue?#Ozai kidnapped Ursa.#even if we don’t take the search as canon he still clearly has and wields power over Ursa#Azula becoming fire lord doesn’t mean Ozai is a guy supportive of girlbosses it just means he hates his son’s guts#and the title of fire lord he gave Azula was empty. it literally didn’t mean anything. like he pronounced himself Ruler of the World#and declared there would be no more nations it would just burn under him#like Zuko is not some enlightened feminist#like sure maybe we could argue that the fire nation in LoK is a lot better but also the Fire Nation is like…never talked about in LoK#and there’s something incredibly gross about all these headcanons about Enlightened Feminist Zuko (Fire nation)#showing the Evil Reductive Misogynists (water tribe) the light#like you realize how weird that is right#right.

erm…..posting about an OC via a rushed shitpost was not on my 2025 bingo card!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂get it??? 😂😂😂because his name is bingo??(GETS SHOT)
these are all things he has done or has attempted to do so consider this the full intro post for that freak for now. he’s still too undercooked to fully introduce but damn I love him
#pdbc#I love him. he’s the sole descendant of a royal family and. if you’ll pardon the pun. is royally fucking things up for himself#he could do so much in life and instead decides to be the next Gordon Ramsay……..such wasted potential#did. did I ever mention that part of him. his clan is called the Ramsay clan after all#he wants to be Gordon Ramsay sooooo fucking bad…….#big theater kid gone wrong energy from him#so many of my posts this year have been pdbc related. it Will happen again.#< (in my defense I’m working on other non-pdbc stuff !! but pdbc stuff is easy to make because I don’t have to think about it)#once I’m not so burnt out I’m really excited to design bingo….not even going to attempt to rn#I hate designing outfits but I’m actually looking forward to his bc he has a horrid mix of royal garments and astereotypical butcher outfit#speaking of butchers. butcher vanity? great song absolutely fits him. cannot stop listening to it#surprisingly him being like. a literal cannibal isn’t even all he does. that’s just a…little quirk of his#like ya’d think him eating people would be more important but nah. he’s a POET and a MAGICIAN ���😤#I’d say he’s one of the most evil characters but…..kinda all of my characters are#sure bingo tries to eat people and bomb people’s homes but there are side characters who put acid in the water supply and aren’t punished#so bingo’s just par for the course honestly#the best thing he’s ever done is install an air conditioning unit. there wasn’t one before bc Mole (his mom) didn’t like them—#—which resulted in people keeling over from heat exhaustion a lot so. good job for fixing that bingo#it’s the bare minimum but that’s pretty good for him so he can have a round of applause for that#I think I might have mentioned Gerbombs in passing but I love them sm#they’re gerbils genetically engineered to blow up when pressure is placed on them#they’re adorable. thankfully they have no concept of death so they’re just chilling with no worries in the world#before you get sad. Sushi rescued most of the Gerbombs and now cares for them so happy ending#no Gerbombs shall die under her watch. I don’t think I could deal with it if too many Gerbombs died#although they’re called Gerbombs they’re actually more physically close to jerboas#they’re so cute. I should draw a Gerbomb sometime#(I should also probably rename them jerbombs considering they’re not gerbils but ehhhhhhhhhhhhh)

horizontober 2023 | 27: redo | [original shot]
(original also below the cut if you want to compare them on one screen!)
#horizontober2023#horizon forbidden west#hfw#aloy#tenakth dragoon#a redo/reimagining of the shot that really started my creative vp journey#i mean i'd used photomode plenty before that one#but i hadn't *really* gotten into trying to coax aloy into weird positions/pausing mid movement to get shots#and since then i've tried out a lot more post-photomode editing - like my favorite of the over/under water split shot#also it was the first in the face(paint)s series - which i still need to finish T_T - and for a while that really pushed me creatively#i tried something different this time re: waterline and it was much easier#not sure it works quite as well? or would be doable on a different shot? but i'm satisfied#it would be a dream for guerrilla to let us do this in-game in H3...#hfw underwater

finally watched happiest season and i totally understand why people hated the ending.
except for Jane. she deserves the world.
#like it’s not even about harper not being ready to come out#that’s totally her prerogative#but it doesn’t absolve her for how she treats people around her#first with riley holy fuck - and it’s implied she never even apologised to her in the years after???#with that ‘understanding’ they have towards the end#riley would have been completely within her rights to not accept that menial discussion as water under the bridge#but anyway the way harper also treats abby is downright cruel at times#the bit that got me the most was her gaslighting abby the morning after she was out all night#poor girl was just trying to make sure she wasn’t awfully hungover and gets accused of smothering her??? tf???#i really wanted harper to have something to redeem her but she just didn’t#a great moment for her would have been that chat outside the bar with her ex boyfriend#like she didn’t have to out herself entirely but she could have at least said something#she doesn’t make a single effort until it’s way too late and she got outed (like okay fair that was a horrible thing to happen to her)#but honestly i think abby should have still walked away after it#like ‘i’m happy you can be your true self now but for us it’s over’#abby definitely had far more chemistry with riley (stereotype yayaya idc)#but i don’t think they should have gotten together at the end necessarily#maybe just them deciding to keep in touch or something and THEN it happens later#like in that year forward or something - riley and abby are together and they run into harper who’s happy and moved on idk#ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT JANE#girlypop finally got her moment and i’m so glad they didn’t make out her book was awful just cause she was writing it for ten years#like we saw how good that painting was??#when girly puts her heart in something she’s all in#cause nobody was all in on her AND SHE DESERVES THE WORLD#honestly one of the few good characters and i’m glad she at least got a good ending#also also why you gonna cast aubrey plaza and barely give her any screen time#like pls make it make sense#haven’t gone off like that in tags for a hot minute™️#happiest season

Wow
I was so UNBELIEVABLY depressed during my 2020 trip to Guatemala that I literally just didn’t encode most of those memories. I’m watching the video I took for that trip and it’s like 20% oh that reminds me, I forgot that happened and 80% I have absolutely no recollection of this, did I actually take this video, oh there’s my face I guess I was there …..
#I absolutely freaking LOVE Guatemala#the fact that I managed to not enjoy my time there is something else#the one and only thing I distinctly remember was the cave diving which was absolutely unhinged and probably not safe in any way#but fixed itself in my mind as my favorite part of the trip and absolutely something I would do again#like you had a candle to light your way and sometimes it would accidentally go out if you slipped and went under the water#that you were pulling yourself through with a rope#and it was over your head deep#I guess the adrenaline of that experience overrode my depression#you held the candle in your mouth while swimming lol 😂#omg that was so dangerous and I cannot wait to do that agiain I stg#i know we went to where they filmed yavin 4 in Star Wars and I was exited to go there#but the only thing in my actual memory is my knee hurting trying to go up stairs because I had recently dislocated it#and having to not go up one of the stair situations#that’s 100% what I remember of that part of the trip#I got some good video tho watching it now#yeah that’s where Star Wars was filmed all right#sure looks exactly like it#don’t remember being there in person

i think a lot of people have never been in a truly desperate situation but think they have, and this causes them to pass really harsh judgment on people who made bad choices when either irrational or having no good choices to pick instead, and i really wish people could get some fucking self-perception and work on their compassion skills and not fucking do that as much anymore
#jack facts#people be banging on about empathy this empathy that#and like sure maybe people have a measurable capacity for it but i can tell you what#that sure as fuck don't mean any fucking one of them ever bothers to make use of it when it matters lol#and i mean on the other hand it's hard to conceptualize how you would feel going through something you've never experienced before#i just wish people would be AWARE of the fact they don't know!#or like that there's a difference between ''i can't afford anything but instant ramen'' and ''i can't get any food or water''#or a difference between being freaked out by spiders and having clinical arachnophobia#or a difference between ''my loved one is sick and i'm really worried about them'' and ''my loved one is dying in front of me''#etc etc etc etc etc#anyway the longer i live the more i'm convinced that empathy is a garbage concept#and actually a more reliable way to act with true compassion is through at least some capacity for relative objectivity#the ability to say ''i don't know how that feels and i cannot understand it through comparison'' and to be able AND WILLING#to take people's self reports on their feelings thought processes or lackthereof in good faith and with sympathy#and also the ability to acknowledge that doing a bad thing for good reasons does not negate the bad thing being bad#but also should and does change what consequences are appropriate and/or most effective#and also like............... things people do in desperation or other irrational states do not represent Who They Are As A Person#or what it's like to hang out with them in a day to day situation#another thing i keep getting more and more aware of is like. if y'all can't even handle an irrational or impulsive choice that does harm#done by an otherwise ''good'' person under short term desperate situations#that they then do their best to reduce the harm of after the situation is over#i can not even imagine how absolutely unforgiving you must be of anyone who has delusions#and i mean real delusions and real psychosis not the hyperbolic babytalk version lol#like i don't think most of you even know what the fuck a delusion even is the way you act about things as simple & straightforward as like#fear. hunger. pain.#absolutely fucking exhausting

slowly I'm recovering the beauty of discovery
(creature by half•alive)
(textless + timelapse below cut)
#yellowart#subnautica#i feel like the timelapse is kinda long but also this did take a long time to make#anyways. let me yap about the meanings of all the panels <3#'i am creation' -> the ocean being the source of life and where shit evolved from also a good way to sort of 'set the scene' for subnautica#'both haunted' -> GHOST leviathan; in the BONE fields#'and holy' -> this one was a bit trickier. debated about using the emperor but i knew i wanted to use her elsewhere#also debated hoverfish because its cute and well liked so i thought that would be funny for 'and holy'#also something something jesus walking on water also makes it fitting. in the end though i decided on a peeper with the enzyme trail#and i *tried* to make it loop over its head like a halo but idk how well that imagery came through. still mentioned it in the alt text tho.#'made in glory' -> was REALLY torn about this one. on the one hand i wanted to have like a picture of the code because something something#divine machine and it being made out of code making it inherently holy or something; but i wasnt sure if that would be too#'immersion breaking' since most of the stuff in this is like in game stuff i wasnt sure if acknowledging that it was a game would be#too much. my other idea was to draw a couple of creature eggs like a stalker egg and a spadefish egg or something; but in the end i just#went with the one that i personally thought was cooler so if you think it does feel out of place uhhhh sorry i guess lmao.#also yes that is code from the game. idk shit about programming i just think code shit is cool so i poked though a modding tutorial til i#found what it is they use to look at that shit and started poking around. its pretty cool tbh. anyways the specific part i chose for the#drawing was something under the peepers; i think its the bit that tells the enzyme peepers to do the enzyme stuff like the trail obviously#but also some other stuff. not 100% sure though like i said idk shit about this sort of thing but everything in there seems pretty well#labeled its kinda impressive. and very helpful for navigating even if you dont know shit lol.#anyways. 'even the depths of the night cannot blind me' -> blood kelp trench is i think one of the darkest biomes in the game#possibly THE darkest so i thought it would be fitting. probably my least favorite panel though i dont think i did a very good job#representing the area or representing the bloodvines :/#'when you guide me' -> sea emperor but more specifically her messages to the player telling you to 'come here'#'creature only' -> not sure how well i can articulate this but basically the idea of humans beig animals with animal needs to eat and drink#and the idea of being a part of the ecosystem. modern life tends to make us forget that sort of thing but id imagine for ryley being on the#planet would violently remind him of this with things trying to eat him while he has to try to eat things as well. being part of the food#web. 'creature only' because he is only a creature not non-essential systems maintenance chief; but a creature living in an environment and#trying to survive. or something like that. does that make any fucking sense to anyone besides me? whatever.#anyways yapping over 👍

shoutout to brian may for constantly coming through with all the Inexpressibly Fucking Melancholy songs we could ever need. long away '39 all dead all dead some day one day leaving home ain't easy... hell even his demos. listen to you know you belong to me and water and tell me you don't feel like ben affleck on bench with cigarette dot png. every band needs one member who is just so sad All the time and Will make it the entire discography's problem and i am so serious
#queen band#sure freddie roger and john have their share of dramatic sad songs too#but brian's oeuvres just really hit the existentially terrified child inside me#the one who's constantly sitting on a beach at night looking up at the stars. good shit#take heart my friend we love you though it seems like you're alone a million lights above you smile down upon your home.#in the year of 39 came a ship in from the blue the volunteers came home that day#and they bring good news of a world so newly born though their hearts so heavily weigh.#don't you hear my call though you're many years away don't you hear me calling you.#all dead all dead but i should not grieve in time it comes to everyone#all dead all dead but in hope i breathe of course i don't believe you're dead and gone all dead and gone.#i'm all through with ties i'm all tired of tears i'm a happy man don't it look that way?#when i was you and you were me and we were very young together took us nearly there the rest may not be sung#so still the cloud it hangs over us and we're alone but some day one day we'll come home.#leaving home ain't easy but may be the only way.#i have to stop and think sometimes let the water roll a while let the days go by under my feet....#you know. lyrics like that. i go fucking INSANE.

sure I may overthink things, but on the upside, this gives me something to work with art-wise that isn't just the same oc 5 times in a row
#ramblings#nothing wrong with drawing the same oc 5 times in a row- i've done it before and I'll do it again#anyways did you know that the Kurrajong bottle tree (Brachychiton Populneus) takes about 30 years to fully mature?#it's native to australia but does well in any warm climate with drought seasons- you're only supposed to water it deeply every 2-3 weeks#apparently it's a popular choice for city planting#and the one in my parents' front yard fell over. it was just under 30 years old. likely a combination of high winds and root rot#at least im pretty sure it was a Brachychiton Populneus. its cousin Brachychiton Rupestris doesn't match as well visually#all I knew up until today was that it was called a bottle tree and it was real tall and skinny and it had clusters of hard brown pods

I wish contact tracing was still a thing AND they were tracing every major contagious disease rn. Would love to scream in the left ear of the rotten pig who didn't wash their hands and gave me norovirus
#I'm suspecting it was food born illness#i had takeout the two nights before i had to go to the hospital#but there wasn't enough proof at the time to be able to report it#I've been checking iWasPoisoned and so far no one else or the health dept have cited either place as an outbreak for anything#why is hand washing so goddamn hard for people to figure out#step 1) wet hands. warm to hot water is best but if all you have is cold water then that's better than nothing#step 2) apply soap#step 3) lather the soap all over your hands. make sure to get underneath your fingernails#step 4) continue lathering the soap while your hands are under the water stream for twenty seconds. sing happy birthday or something to time#step 5) dry hands on paper towel if avaliable or hand blower if not. DO NOT WIPE HANDS ON CLOTHES IF YOU WORK IN FOOD#voila you just saved another immunocompromised person from suffering from a preventable infection!#you're a goddamn hero!

:( i think i just accidentally boiled a spider to death
#i usually do a quick sweep to be sure there's no spiders or centipedes in the shower but i was distracted#forgot my soap and razor too lol#and so i thought with my glasses off that this solid inch long black grass(?) spider was a hairball#because there are a couple of those in here and i only clean them out sometimes#alas. when i leaned over to grabthe shampoo the poor guy got sprayed real solidly with steaming hot shower water#i like my water to be like tea hot. like hot enough to hurt#so like he naturally started scrambling away like he'd been burned on account of i think he had#crawled onto my roommate's soap so i scooted him to the dry part of the shower#*bathroom sorry#and as soon as he was away from the water and calmed down he slowed Way down#now he's sitting sort of half under the bathmat#i think he might've come here to die anyway because it's about that time but still#very sad to see such a magnificent beast in such a state#man is huge#at least by the standards of the spiders i otherwise see here#and clearly a breeding male I've literally never seen such big boxing gloves on a wild spider in my life#...though to be fair he was like dragging himself along by them outside the shower bc i think his legs weren't working#poor guy. gotta be a miserable way to die#eta i took another peek and now he's atop the mat....but four of his legs are visibly not bending right#so yeah one way or another i've killed this poor guy#i'm gonna take him outside after i get dressed so he can at least be a snack for something else instead of just expiring on my bathroom#floor and jumpscaring my roommate in five hours

i'm feeling very emo about herculaneum rn bc of that statue post btw
#i'm reading more about it bc i was never taught about it in school#it's a city that was just about 13km away from pompeii and was also buried in the eruption of vesuvius#but it got buried under 5 times as much volcanic ash as pompeii so it was really difficult to excavate#and bc of that because pompeii was easier to get to that city became more famous#real excavation on herculaneum only seriously began in the 1920s and real preservation only began in the 1980s#the city was architecturally and artisticallly beautiful on rival with pompeii and we've retrieved a number of gorgeous statues#but there was a city built near the excavation site that really damaged a lot of the building foundations through water runoff#and a lot of the remains we've found have been sadly damaged by the elements as well on top of being not very well preserved to begin with#so in the 80s italian authorities basically said “start protecting this shit we can't lose this” and officially halted all excavation#to focus instead on preserving what we had already discovered rather than finding new things#and if that isn't just the perfect example of why i love archaeology and sociology#it's not all about what you find and how you find it but how you care for it as well#how are you gonna take this beautiful ancient city that's been gifted to you and say. i'll protect you.#i'll make sure you don't get hurt. i'll make sure your foundations are strong. i'll make sure you're still beautiful.#i'll protect the citizens who called you home once. i'll make sure they're taken care of in death.#i'll make sure that you're respected.#reaching your hand back two thousand years and caring for those people and the things they loved.#fuck man i'm fucking crying over this rn

My cramps are actually so BAD girl help
#i’m not really getting it in my thighs for once and the back pain is relatively easy to ignore as long as i don’t try to do much#but girl my entire midsection is killing meeeeeeeeee#feels like my uterus has just taken over my whole abdomen and stomach area#and dear god i am having the worst lightheadedness of my life. i feel so deeply sick#i feel empty like i’m hungry even though i’ve eaten a normal amount today#i’m having fish and chips with my mum and stepdad tonight so i’m trying to hold out but dear god i want to EAT#i just know it won’t help and will make me gassy and give me new abdominal pains to worry about#i’m so tired and lethargic my watch actually saw fit to warn me that i had a low heart rate#it dropped to 48-49bpm for like five minutes straight#then my water flosser arrived and i jumped up to answer the door so that took me to like 60#am i fucking dying or something??? like should i be concerned#i take all my vitamins and try to stay moving.. surely my body cannot just randomly decide to flatline like that#i’ll just keep an eye on it i guess. i saw somewhere it’s not a severe cause for concern unless it’s regularly dropping under 40#while you’re awake (and you’re not some kind of endurance athlete who adapts to have a ridiculously low resting heart rate)#i mean my heart is generally going like a bunny rabbit so that’s why i was a little weirded out by the notification#we’ll keep an eye on it! and probably do exercise bike tomorrow because i’m supremely freaked out now#personal

#Been taking my meds as prescribed and have been on the edge of a panic attack for nearly 2 weeks now#My body is in a tremendous amount of pain#but I gotta pretend I am okay just to have people quit asking if I am okay. I am not but there is nothing to be done about it#the pain docs dgaf the bone docs dgaf the specialists dgaf#I can't even take mj to feel better because I am so allergic#and speaking of allergies I have been having what look like HIVES starting to appear randomly over my face and chest for these 2 weeks#istg if this is another fucking reaction to allergens I am just going to go meet the hatman and claim squatter's rights in his house#woke up from another passing out episode to be ravenous and had to make myself some eggs and rice#I added kimchi because there needs to be more daily veggies in this diet#Most days the meals have been a tsp of peanut butter; an applesauce or string cheese; whatever noodle; and eggs or tuna...sometimes chicken#But still they want to tell me I am eating too much daily somehow#I do also drink a fuckton of water daily#I am just so tired of these 8year experts seeing a short fat thing and immediately equating all my problems to fucking weight#something is wrong and nobody wants to look further into it#In the meantime I am going to be mentally unwell because my body feels like shattering glass under electrified water every waking moment#But sure! let me take on the responsibility of teaching 44 other households how to open an rtf file in a damn word processor#HOW TF do you get over 50 and have all problem solving skills drop out of your ass. God forbid I write simple instructions#and some asshole put out fliers on ageism near my apartment#Telling someone that they need to actually have the correct information before moving forward to do something is apparently disrespectful#I literally don't have to do anything for any of these people but they feel entitled to my time and energy because I am 30+ years younger#And they've been having kvetch sessions about who knows what in a room literally on the other side of my bedroom wall#I got shit to do in the morning so I hope to wake up somebody else tomorrow#wish me luck
