its so crazy that for the last 5 years a small but annoyingly vocal online group has been acting like mob movies of all things are pretentious and inaccessible cinema. yeah the godfather is kinda slow but these are movies about criminals who shoot people
#that family guy bit is right it does insist upon itself but it has a valid point to insist etc etc#crow.txt#side note if you do wanna watch a good mob flick and the godfather was a bit too slow for you please watch goodfellas#its one of my favorite films of all time i love it so much#while i do like the godfather and i recognize how important it was for film history i like goodfellas a bit more

Scar sits, balanced on a precipice at the crest of the world, and thinks. If he tilts forward just a degree too far into the sweeping abyss that engulfs the city below, he will fall. It’s a height that very few could survive, and he knows without a shred of doubt that he is not one of them. “Careful,” comes the warning in a tone that, if he closes his eyes, sounds awfully like Cuteguy. But of course, the voice that Scar hears so often through his earpiece is nothing at all like the unmistakable lilt of Pearl’s words. OR Pearl watches Scar leave his apartment in the small hours between dusk and dawn. When she follows to find him dangling his feet off the edge of the tallest building in Hermitopia, she decides to sit by her archnemesis' side, just for one night.

The Battle of Hjørungavåg - for the Mythtalia March by @hwsevents
-
"Never have Danes held such a battle with Norwegians, not before nor since" - Fagrskinna.
-
The battle of Hjørungavåg took place outside the Norwegian coast in the year 986, and was a sea battle between an invading Danish army and a defending Norwegian one. It was a battle of great national significance as the ruling Earl Håkon defended the country against the Danish King Svein Tjugeskjegg aided by the Joms Vikings, who wanted to take control over Norway and christen it.
The battle begun after some farmers tricked the Danes into believeing Earl Håkon only had 2-3 ships with him. They charged forth and got surprised by 50 ships lying in wait for them.
It was a fierce battle, and despite the element of surprise, the Norwegians suffered heavy losses early on. Most of the losses were with Earl Håkon, who fought against Svein Tjugeskjegg, a fight so intense that he had to shed his chainmail as it had become torn apart by all the weapons hitting him. Håkon's sons Eirik and Svein Håkonson fought against the Joms Vikings, Eirik saving his brother. This is when the battle turns.
Suddenly, a terrifying storm hits, with fierce waves of hail. The storm seemed almost magic and supernatural, and on the side of the Norwegians. Had the pagans used dark magic? It is said that Earl Håkon had sacrificed his 7 year old son Erling in a ritual for victory (probably false). The Earls of Lade had a connection to the female godess and spirit Torgerd Hølgebrud, who was called on whenever the family was in need. She came along with her sister and other valkyries on horses with bows and arrows, sending hail towards their enemies.
Torgerd is interpreted as an ancient fertility spirit, and these spirits are also connected with a warrior aspect. They protected certain families and are some of the oldest creatures in the pre-Christian Norse religion.
The supernatural warrior spirits was a convenient excuse for why Svein Tjugeskjegg fled the battle; it was impossible to fight against gods and trolls. It also supported the savage ways of the pagan religion.
As Svein flees, he leaves the Joms Vikings behind to be captured by the Earls. They were about to be executed by beheading, but one of them managed to get a hold of the sword and chop the head off the man about to kill him. Eirik Håkonson is impressed by this and grants them their freedom.
#mythtalia march#hetalia#historical hetalia#aph norway#aph denmark#hws norway#hws denmark#again; any excuse to talk about Eirik Jarl - my fave historical person 🥰🥰🥰#more historical notes: the son Erling was probably older and fought along his family in the battle - not sacrificed for victory#and as most sources are mostly christian propaganda it is clear that the respect they had for the Earls of Lade is genuine#there are so many stories surrounding the Earls of Lade that show the quality of them - even though they were pagan#The Earls of Lade were based in Trondheim and mainly ruled over Trøndelag - but at this point they also had control over Norway as a whole#but it should be noted that “Norway” at this point /probably/ didn't include some parts around Oslo - we are not entirely certain here#not very pleased with how the drawings turned out - but I guess the story here is the most important part 😔😔

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, I recently went into the x-men and I found my own dead with Charles and Erik AND I NEED READ MORE OF THEM BUT I SO LOST AFTER POWERS AND HOUSE OF X SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE CONTINUE, can u help me?
(alsoIlikeyoursdrawingsiwishbeingsoconstantwithmycontentlikeu)
i'll be very candid with you my friend: i'm totally lost too !!!!!!! your comic-reading journey is about as green as mine and so i cant personally give you a super great guide- but beautiful people on the internet exist who've done most of the dirty work for us when sorting through the stories you 'should' read so i'm borrowing them to help us both
you can read this article to read about one person's advice with exploring krakoa and- in their opinion- its most 'significant' stories, though to summarize the issues they recommend looking into:
House of X/Powers of X (which you should have already done)
X of Swords event
Hellfire Gala
Inferno
X Lives and X Deaths of Wolverine
Second Hellfire Gala
Third Hellfire Gala
Fall of the House of X/Rise of the Powers of X (also should have already done, however...) +Single issue: X-Men (2021 series) #35 aka Uncanny X-Men #700 is featured at the end of the FoX omnibus, though the omnibus excludes an extra bit at the end involving a cliffhanger for Charles's fate after he's arrested
if you want to dig a little deeper though, you can check out this article from another individual which includes another wave of 'relevant' (word used loosely as some can be considered more poignant than others) krakoa stories and stories related to it or set during the period.
it's a lot longer and more in depth than the last article, so again i only really rec peaking at this one depending on how deep you wanna go, or if you decide you want to explore more after reading the more 'key' stories. def wouldn't hurt to give it a glance just in case you read some summaries that pique your interest!
all in all, don't take these as concrete rules or guides to follow: comics are meant to be fun, these are just good starting points if you're feeling lost or overwhelmed. at the end of the day, you decide ultimately what you want to read and which stories interest you the most
happy reading !
#snap chats#my tried-and-true method of comic reading though is 1.) talk to my brother long enough til he tells me an interesting run#2.) poke around my comic shop and see which stories catch my eye#not a PERFECT method if youre trying to be methodical but i think the most important thing with comics#is not to make it stressful or not make it like. a homework assignment#just read what you think will interest you the most or what friends rec and just have fun :]#again ive just started picking up comics again after like. A Decade so im not exactly The Guy to ask at this point in time#but we're all friends we're a community so we'll do it together#as for right now tho. i am very sleepy my eyes are heavy. so goodnight my friends !!!!#i think i'll start legion of x tomorrow.. i really wanna read the first class issues i got#but i think those will be a good cleanser after LoX .... LoX gon make me sad i know it will#anyways! good night! and if anyone has any stories they rec or wanna share with me or anyone else readin my blog please do :]]#OH and thank you for liking my art LOL. on that note please dont stress about the 'content' you put out and how much you make#if you also refer to art then please remember youre an artist not a content machine: you make art and you make it when you make it#it aint a race or a competition so just like comics just have fun and do what you do !!! thats always how you get the best results#ok im sleeping fr now my eyes hurt and ive been chewing this gum for like seven hours GOODNIIIIGHT

Aro Jon who gets, like, occasional fixations on other peo-ple where he thinks about them all the time, figuring "well that's probably a crush," and sort of, consciously doubles down (because that's what you do with crushes right??). Like he has a lot of emotional investment in these people and he thinks about them and sometimes even tries to talk to them because that's what you do when you have a crush. Who is taken off-guard literally every time any of those people want to kiss him or hold hands or go on dates. And it's not that he doesn't know kissing or hand-holding or romance or whatever aren't part of crushes and relationships it's just he's mysteriously never been particularly interested in those parts so he doesn't think about them until suddenly his "crush" brings them up. Like they're some vague thing that future Jon will do but why is current Jon expected to think about them? Current Jon isn't in any relationship. And maybe he does end up hearing the term "aromantic" but he thinks -"well that can't be me because I have crushes. I have crushes all the time." Does this make sense? Do you see my vision?
(Also my cat walked across the keyboard as I was writing this to add two small dashes and I'm leaving them in because I think it's funny)
#obligatory no martin or j//mart please#sorry i just don't like them. i don't wanna see them in my notes#ok it's like this:#lonely (probably nd) aro who thinks they're allo/doesn't know about aro people#and who's looking for crushes because 'well surely i should start getting those about now right??'#and also it's like. supposed tobe the no. 1 relationship so they'll need to love you and hang out with you all the time#and surely they'll finally UNDERSTAND you because they LOVE you#and you'll be their biggest priority and you won't be lonely anymore#oh and you'll kiss and stuff at some vague point. probably.#that's not important tho what IS important is that they will Get you and Prioritize you for ever and ever.#no i'm not projecting. shut up.#i AM maintagging my nonsense tho. so watch out.#jon sims#jonathan sims#tma#the magnus archives#aromantic jonathan sims#aromantic jon#aromantic jon sims

Getting closer, getting really close now I swear (Patreon)
#Doodles#Just Desserts#Villainsona#True Villainy AU#Just ignore how many times I've said that up to this point lol - I'm serious this time!#I always feel so bad designing TVAU outfits because Charm is always so miserable as a model haha#Could this be a contributing factor as to why it's taken so long?? No I enjoy drawing her like that lol#Made some design notes about the important elements of what I want for her True Villain look - more than just ''Her but Kaiein influence''#I'd still really like a nod to dragon scales of some kind but honestly her classic design is more that#Always going on about her spider theming how to make it dragony! It's the one thing I'm still hung up on lol#As for the rest I think it's Really getting close :) I got to actually turn her little ''shawl'' - I always knew it was Kaiein-related -#Into something that properly mimics his shape! It's all controlled by her tho it's not a part of his body - just magic-infused matter#Made to look like him so there's still that creep factor but it's more her body than his - she can control its shape :D#And I got to keep the jewels! Yesss - made it a motif! Now it's also on her hips and knees to break up her visual space yes very good#It's drips :) Y'know - like ink :) Finally figured that one out lol good job setting up my own symbolism me#And then some elegant drapey bits to match her ''shawl'' and continue to break up her space!! Yes! Good!!#I still haven't decided on a colour palette I think black and white is too obvious and too Kaiein but hmmm - she has a lot of colours#Lots of options to pick from but which is the Correct one - her hair would stay pink so maybe some of her pinks or purples#I'll play with some digital swatches later :)#I'm also so glad I could implement the hood design from one of the scrapped outfits ah <3 I love her in a hood she's so cute#I'm rather pleased with the way the spider web design breaks up her form as well - it's more subdued than the full bottom/shoes stripes but#It's also not very clear here lol the long ones that all the way down to her feet are the third from the center ignore that second one#The second lines out from the center host her wings! Very important!#Kinda reminds me of my holosona in a way actually :0 They /are/ both Evil-aligned hmmmm#All the more reason to colour palette! Differentiate the colours in my head#Really do feel like I'm approaching it now fdjsklafd getting close now!!

"my interpretation is more meaningful than yours" this "___ piece of media is objectively bad" that. yeah, well have you considered I'm having fun? 🤨 have you considered that I strive to be joyful rather than striving to prove the worth of my opinions? 🙄
#analysis of meaning is great but dont let art elitism/perfectionism convince you you need to have the ultimate and perfect#reading or interpretation#or that the joy and entertainment you derive from a piece of media is directly correlated with how intellectual you can be about it#sometimes the goal is just entertainment#and thats okay#this is not to discourage media literacy or criticism of any kind#but it is to discourage people making others feel bad for not being#'smart enough to understand the TRUE interpretation of xyz'#like some of you are starting to sound like rick and morty 'you need a high IQ for this show' dudebros#esp when you say shit like 'cant ppl do better analysis then a 3rd grader' for shit that literally comes down to personal opinion#like ik some ppl miss the entire point of a piece very often and i find that frustrating too#but lets be real some of yall just attack other peoples interpretations cause they contradict your own#and not cause theyre actually problematic or misinterpretations#'a nihilist reading of this character is much more meaningful than an autistic reading' what if i killed you#both is good. jesus i thought yall liked bisexuals.#I AM SLAPPING A COEXIST STICKER ON YOUR FOREHEAD but instead of religious symbols its fandom#multiple readings can exist at once please ppl for gods sake#fandom#long notes#important

Not to talk about MRA-lite spaces again but I'm going to need everyone to understand that in these spaces, the subtext of 'men don't get to talk about their problems' is ALWAYS 'and it is women's fault!'
#my time in the MRA-lite saltmines returns to me yet again whenever i see the transandrophobia side of tumblr#look- it's just the same stuff ok? Or maybe i'm just biased because it triggers me the fucking same no matter who is saying it#also please note i'm saying MRA-lite and not MRA- I understand that MRA usually has connotations of violence for people#MRA-lite is nothing like that it's just a load of talking about men's issues but without any of the context#the very important context that you need to place the issues into wider society and its effect on everyone and not just men#these spaces may not be violent but they are quite pointless and the conversations never ever go anywhere#and it's been the same like 5 conversations for the past 15 years and no doubt much longer but that's as far back as i go with it#every time someone discovers the 5 or so men's issue they act like they just converted to a religion or something#and bring it up in everything. I was like that too at like 21 i promise i get it! but now i look back and CRINGE#and i am a guy now! ok? I get it that a lot of people are transmasc doing this i get why! but.....#i just wish it was less of a Thing. and i genuinely find it triggering.#because i do fucking care ok? i have academic books about some of the 5 or so men's issues on my bookshelf!#because actually there are people writing these books and they do care!#i had someone a while ago saying it was 'sad' to see a trans man talk like i do on this so i explained where i'm coming from#and they never came back so i will never know if they saw my point of view and that kind of sucked#hopefully that won't happen again- i really don't like arguing with other transmasc people (i like discussions though)#anyway i'll stop rambling now

Inhalers.
Tara's is orange. This means it's a preventative one that you use daily.
Fluticasone is one medication that is commonly used in orange inhalers. This is used for asthma and COPD. The function of this is to prevent you from getting symptoms. This medication is a steroid, and needs to be used daily. The NHS also says "It's important to rinse your mouth or brush your teeth after using a steroid preventer inhaler. This is to prevent infections and a sore mouth." You will usually get a second inhaler - a reliever (usually blue) - for use when you do get symptoms.
The dosage is 1 or 2 puffs taken twice a day. You need to use it even if you don't have symptoms. The dosage can vary between people, it's interesting to note that if you need to take more than 400 micrograms a day then you'll need to carry a blue steroid treatment card, a red steroid emergency card, or both (in the UK, it may be a bit different in America).
Also interesting to note that taking fluticasone at high doses for a long time can slow down the normal growth of children and teenagers - but that this is not likely to affect their adult height.
So. Actually, in light of this, it makes perfect sense why it was so important that Tara was able to get her inhaler in 5 (and if she was on a high dose she might not actually just be able to get a replacement without documentation), however where they drop the ball is they only ever show the 1 orange inhaler when she really should have a second blue inhaler for relieving symptoms (such as in the shrine).
#/mp#Scream#Tara Carpenter#topic: medical#-asthma#I just want to point out I do not use an inhaler I do not know much about them - this is just from what I've been able to find out online#If you have any experience or anything to add - please do!#this is also just assuming they didn't just pick an inhaler for the movie without any research. but who would do that /s.#ALSO it's important to note that by the looks of it manufacturers can just ignore the usual colour coding as there's no regulations on that#anyway small sickly tara confirmed lmao

I think everyone needs to make a "peace and love on planet earth" tag for their blog. A tag where videos, images, memes, and stories can be compiled of humanity showing kindness, empathy, joy, beauty, and love. A respite from the horrors that are shoved in our faces on a daily basis. A reminder that no matter what, we are all human, we are all one, and that we are all capable of being kind to each other and bringing beauty to this world.
#lab notes#the tag doesnt need to specifically be called 'peace and love on planet earth' but yknow#god i just love humanity so much#sorry this post is so rambly and repetitive i just think its so important that we have a reminder like this yknow#pls excuse me while i cry over my love of humanity and people just being so so kind to each other#bc yeah so much fucking horrible shit is happening in the world caused by humans#but that is an extremely narrow few who are influenced by greed and power and capitalism#the vast majority of humanity is filled with those who love and care for each other#and those who love and care for complete strangers#i see way too much nihilism around humanity and its blights to the point where there are people out there who genuinely think all of#humanity is nothing but greed and suffering but no!!! we are a social species! we evolved to work together and help each other and love.#to save humanity first you have to fucking love humanity!!!#if you want to make the world a better place first you have to find a reason to love it! and we are a part of this world so you need to#have a reason to love us! to love yourself!!#go outside and spread some fucking joy to others. hold open a door for a stranger. compliment someones outfit. help someone carry#their groceries. please even just the littlest of things can mean the world to others and can make the biggest of differences.#WOW ok. speaking of rambles.#anyways#peace and love on planet earth#<- an easy way to just click this tag n go to my own#bc i think its important for people to see

one of the funniest things to happen in my writing pursuits is having an extremely long, elaborate fic i was working on in high school/early college that i had multiple character arcs planned for and very intense dramatic dynamics. and then stepping away, forgetting EVERYTHING i wanted to write, and now wanting to make it an original work.
anyways thats why i take notes now on scenes in my longfics bc that fucking Haunts Me
#bishop.txt#dont be like me kids!! PLEASE write down your plot points/foreshadowing/important details#Mental Notes Will Not Keep#source: i have memory problems from multiple things and i am in hell#i have a very cutesy notebook i take my CotS notes in bc the little rabbits on the cover motivate me towards The Horrors

I'm basically an influencer now bc after 2.5 years of watching me use mine, my mom has finally started a book/reading journal 💅
#she's enjoying it so far so thats nice!#i maintain that keeping some kind of log of your feelings abt the books you read beyond a star rating is a valuable practice#i dont even rate my books in my journal and its nice looking back and not having my memories of them pinned down to a number#i mean. i do still star rate them on 3 different apps. but my POINT IS#reviewing something even (or especially) if youre the only one who will see it helps you engage with the text on a deeper level#which doesnt mean all my reviews are long or laborious like literally sometimes it's just 'wow! hated that ❌' and i move on#but that tells me something when i flip back to it months or years later and its really interesting#its the same w annotating#there's a page early on in my copy of fellowship of the ring where i went on a righteously angry rant#and literally the next year i wrote 'idk what tf i was so mad abt' next to it#theres a piece of me in there! it was the truth in the moment! thats important to see sometimes!#anyway its late and im tedtalking but like. if you ever read books please jot down some notes somewhere when you finish them even in an app#disgruntled octopus
