Fucken uhhhhhh

Feralist human who manages to resist the Affini until they get a migraine from the stress of it all and end up seeking comfort in the big plant that doses them with pain killers and anti-migraine drugs and gives them a blindfold and holds them for hours while the human rides out the migraine. When the human wakes from their nap they feel the normal dopiness of post-migraine brain fog and also and overwhelming sense of comfort while cradled in the Affini’s arms. They bury their face in the plant’s closest approximation of a chest and cry that they don’t want to fight anymore, they don’t want to hurt, they just want to feel happy like they did right as they woke up forever. The many limbs and vines wrapped around them tighten and hold them with a gentle, even pressure. The Affini says they can do that, and they feel a needle slide into their arm.

Guys while hallucinating on my new meds, I came to the realization that Mihawk was out on the open seas as swordsman since he was a teenager maybe even younger…. Did he ever finish a normal education?

Scratch that did he even have a normal education? Does he know math? Can my guy tell me the quadratic formula? Like I think we all forget as individuals how much school taught us yes the school system is broken blah blah but guys we understand germ theory and how birds fly and chemistry and biology that people just 60 years ago wouldn’t have known and would have killed to know, like I’m sure he can write and I’m pretty sure he can read but does he know how the moon pulls the tide? Did he know the earth wasn’t flat until he saw a globe for the first time?

Have we as individuals been bamboozled by the stoic gothic refinement of luxury that Mihawk projects we completely overlooked they fact the guy probably doesn’t know salt is a rock? Like wanna bet he saw how cool the over the top refined gay goth was and just like tailored that too his vibe but he’s never actually read a classic in his life?

What I’m trying to get at is Shanks who grew up around some of the smartest people in the world who spoke multiple languages, one was a doctor and you know Rayliegh who definitely doubled as a quartermaster might have a higher education then Mihawk.

Like I think it would be funny if Shanks was the guy who read books on Philosophy and artistic historical movements throughout the world (cough to impress Mihawk cough) and Mihawk doesn’t know how fish breathe underwater and has never read anything higher the a YA novel. (Which are awesome books but talk about reading a book by its cover! Lol… I’ll see myself out.)

"In the soft, shadowed light of autumn, the world is less a place and more a feeling — something ancient and haunted that slips between the cracks of time."

I've been thinking on and off about Dreamtale for months, the way it left off with the twins perpetually clashing and how it adds to their mythological vibe... and I guess my mind couldn't let it go until it came up with a way to offer their story closure.

And that's how I got stuck on the idea of Dream and Nightmare always being two halves of a whole, Dark Crystal style, until I came up with a fusion– the guardian of emotion.

Maybe Nightmare ripped the golden fruit from Dream, maybe Dream got desperate and tried to separate Nightmare's SOUL from the black fruit, but either way, after they were absorbed or absorbed by the apples, maybe their SOULs would also involuntarily absorb each other if given the chance. Like they were always meant to succeed their sacred tree.

I really like interpreting Nightmare's tentacles as roots, leaving Swap!Dream's feathered wings to be the leafy branches.

Their motif would be an eclipse to combine Dream and Nightmare's motifs, and as for a name... Wake? Dawn? Psyche? Psyche... Psyche.

Robusta on the move, ft. Fish

Video Description:

[Sped up footage of a small freshwater snail, with a black, spikey shell, trundling across a piece of driftwood, in a large tank with black sand. The video is focused on the snail, but there is a flurry of activity in the background, as various Corydoras catfish snuffle around the sand, looking for food. Near the end, one of the fish briefly blocks the view of the snail, almost "photobombing" it.]

In Times of Emergency, ask yourself: It it time to BITE?

B : Bandage Tightly: bandages can never be tight enough.

I : Ignore Distress : They're trying to distract you from helping them by saying things like "I don't want your help!"

T : Talk Constantly : Speaking rapidly and at a high rate of volume is calming.

E : Elevate Aggressively : An injury can truly never be elevated enough, go to any length to ensure maximum elevation.

I've been working on our taxonomy project thingy again but this time I decided to do some plants because we've been learning to identify Potentilla and Waldsteinia which are both in the rose family. I also realised I know very little about plant taxonomy and figured I might as well see what's going on with that.

I chose to just start at Eukaryota on Wikipedia and see if I could eventually navigate through all the taxonomic levels until I got to where I wanted to be and it was fun trying to find the right path without looking it up.

this was also a practical way of doing things because I had to fill out all the other taxonomic levels between Eukaryota and Rosaceae because we hadn't filled out any plants yet (except that at some point I made a page for viridiplantae? I guess?).

anyway, some examples:

at one point I got distracted filling in Gymnospermae so we can also add more stuff to those at some point:

(I included Gnetidae in Pinophyta because it was listed as being included in there cladistically but not traditionally, but it seems like the actual classification is heavily debated and I don't really have an opinion on this right now)

back to Angiospermae. I managed to guess that Rosaceae is in Eudicots and I figured it'd probably be in Pentapetalae because the flowers on the species I'm familiar with have 5 petals, and this turned out to be the case so that's handy

there are also just a lot more words here that I recognise.

Rosaceae containes 3 subfamilies but so far I've only filled in one of them, Rosoideae, which contains 6 tribes

out of those tribes, I've filled in Colurieae and Potentilleae, since Colurieae contains Waldsteinia, and Potentilleae contains Potentilla

Potentilliae also contains strawberries (Fragaria), and Rosaceae as a whole also contains apples, raspberries, blackberries, pears, plums, cherries, peaches, apricots, almonds, blackthorn, and quinces.

so this has been a fun little adventure figuring out some plant taxonomy and learning how a bunch of stuff is related (and finding out about stuff where nobody's really sure where it fits). I've probably missed stuff out or gotten something wrong somewhere in here because it was a mess to figure out some of it, but I also haven't included screenshots of every taxonomic level because there are so many and I don't think Tumblr would let me add that many images

im gonna be very real and only say this once because there is zero room to change my mind on this

i am very psych critical and i agree with antipsych pricinicples and points, but bipolar disorder is a physical genetic condition that requires medication. point blank. medication is the Only proven effective treatment for bipolar and u cannot actually get better without it

and when i say get better i dont mean just slightly alleviate some things. i mean that remission means a complete and total lack of symptoms. if u are on the proper medication and taking it as perscribed then ur bipolar symptoms will stop. you will no longer experience mania, hallucinations, breaks from reality, delusions, ect. they will literally stop. and i say that so strongly because i know its factual because it is my very literal lived experience. it is also the lived expereince of everyone in real life that i have met and known throughout my 15+ years of treatment for bipolar disorder, which is dozens and dozens of people. I was diagnosed at 14 and have been in and out of treatment and on and off medication for over half my life at this point, and this is very much the reality but u also don't have to believe my lived expereince alone. bipolar disorder is one of the oldest recorded mental illnesses (we have literally known about it since the early 1800's) and treatment for it has existed almost as long. lithium is a naturally occuring salt and the only known antimanic agent in existence and humans figured out very quickly that this specific salt made some of us not insane anymore. the effectivenes of lithium and other mood stabilizers and the rates at which proper medication will result in full remission for bipolar patients and how relapses almost always only occur when people stop taking their meds is Very well documented. a reputable study done in 2003 reported that over 90% of bipolar patients recieving medication as treatment entered full remission within 2 years. and 72% of those people reported ZERO symptoms going forward

do not listen to people who tell u that u dont need medication for bipolar disoder, that it wont really help, that it only helps a little, that u can manage without it, that it wont actually make ur symptoms fully go away. they are lying to u, often to justify their own misguided decision to not take medication and ruin their own lives. do not listen to them because that kind of thinking will literally kill u. take ur fucking medication.
