im starting to have a personal political crisis.
mostly it is due to the fact that i haven’t done my reading. i don’t know much about world history from non-USA/UK perspectives. However I’m coming to terms with the fact that Western society has a completely different idea of communism than Eastern European and Asian society.
I’m not kidding when I say i think this began with the World Wars and then solidified in the Cold War
We all know in the USA that the Cold War was primarily a war of ideals. Capitalism versus Communism.
In Western society, conservatives say communism is Bad, capitalism is good. However there is a significant portion of the population who lives in near total oppression under capitalism. And because that is how we live, it’s the only system most of us know, we don’t have a proper understanding of Communism as it has been implemented historically. And, even if we do, it feels easy to ignore.
For those of us who are outcasts in this society, we want to choose the most severe opposition to the current system, and because our definition of Communism is warped, it is mostly seen as the natural choice of leftists who are in pain and want immediate change.
It’s easy to fall for this trap. I’ve nearly fallen for it myself.
I really, truly wonder what the right answer is. Is there even a right answer? What system works best, and who does each system work for?
This is a serious question, by the way. I’m open to respectful conversation on this topic. I would also LOVE book recommendations. I’m the kind of person who can’t make up their mind without learning as much as humanly possible.
(This should go without saying, but I will just in case. I have zero sympathy for those governments that are actively genocidal. Or even passively genocidal. I’m anti-imperialist and anti-authoritarian. There are people on this website who seem to think that questioning political stances and not making ones mind up immediately is automatically centrist and/or immoral. I truly believe it is immoral to make ones mind up on such important topics with limited information and without thinking critically)

IN THE HONOUR OF SPOOKTOBER, HERE ARE SOME FIC RECS THAT WERE VERY ENTERTAINING AND SCARY AT THE SAME TIME
These fics can be a bit disturbing, so read at your own discretion. contain smut/suggestive themes. warning has been given, pls beware with your decisions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
∞ THE DOLL HOUSE | @ja3yun
synopsis: when you're strapped for cash and an opportunity arises to help you out, you're stuck in a mansion with 4 human-like dolls who do anything but sit still.
BOY WAS THIS A JOURNEY! The concept is just very interesting and i think it is PERFECT for this month. All the dolls have different personalities and their dynamics compliment each other. As you're reading the series, you might fall for jake or jay or sunghoon. nah nah honey, JUST WAIT TILL YOU GET TO HEESEUNG!! it is absolutely insane but i quite loved it! he is ultimately the alpha (please💀) and you might not agree at first but just you wait. I love how they all are so different from each other, like jake is that submissive shy one, jay is your iconic flirty one and sunghoon i believe was cold to the mc at first. and heeseung, he was just a mix of all but nowhere a sub LMAO. if anyone wondering, hoon is my fav 🤭 I RECCOMEND, READ THIS!!!!
∞ DEVIL KNIGHT'S PREY | @/dollyun
HELP SHE'S GONE 😭😭😭 I REALLY DK WHAT HAPPEND BUT I STILL WANT TO SHOW HER APPRECITAION FOR WRITING SUCH AN AMAZING FIC. IF SHE EVER COMES ON HERE AND SHE SEES THIS, HI KNOW THAT THERE ARE PPL HERE WHO CARE ABOUT YOU AND ONE OF THEM IS ME.
it was so so so interesting and horrific but very intriguing all at the same time and I truly loved her fic. ALL PARTS OF IT IT WAS JUST SO GOOD. i remember sending as ask to her saying it was nothing like what i usually read but I enjoyed all through out. I don't remember much but I loved the 'devil games' it gave like mafia irl but no one does anything. in this fic, hee was my fav. ever since he was introduced (i believe he was silver mask), you could just sense the main character energy from his character and the way he talks to mc. there was something about her writing and it was jus very alluring how each character's story was written. my fav was the maze scene (ifykyk). If you love dark romance books, you would've loved this one. TRULY LOVED THIS ONE, I WOULD'VE SAID YOU SHD READ IT BUT WE CAN'T ANYMORE SOO-
∞ I WOULD GIVE UP HEAVEN IF I HAD TO | @drunkhazed
genre. step-siblings AU, pwp, dubcon, love triangle, fluff smut humor angst etc
it's not really as dark (now that i think about it maybe not dark at all) as the other two but i do think it's perfect to read during this season. ik ik it's not one but two step brothers and ppl hate it but hey, give this one a chance, trust me. im not a fan of step-sibling trope myself but this blew my mind. the whole time you read it, you forget they are step-siblings and you have to lowkey remind yourself. i like the plot, it honestly felt like watching a movie and i loved the humor. in this one, its sunghoon. he was just the type to tease and be cocky and behave all push and pull but im all for it. heeseung was sweet and cute, but sunghoon's character definitely dominated over hee's for me. the paris trip was everythinggg it just gave so much potential to sunghoon and he was just all swoony and ughh. IF YOU DON'T MIND THE STEP SIBLING PART, I RECCOMEND YOU READ THIS.

i desire a masterlist of rick wright lore. i absolutely love that man but i don't know half the silly, goofy things he got up to and i need a long-ass post explaining all you know about that little weirdo.
HI HELLO okay so as much as i see and understand a desire for a "rick wright lore masterlist", i don't think i would be able to do proper service by just listing all of the stuff i know off my head, plus i don't want people to see it and just take everything i say at face value and not look into things further if that makes any sense
so instead i will put a rick wright source masterlist under the readmore so people can go watch/read things for themselves in as much detail as they feel comfortable doing so, + i think a lot of people aren't aware of half of the sources i take from
Books
As far as books go your best starting points are Mark Blake's Comfortably Numb and Nick Mason's Inside Out, both of which are much more generalised sources for any Pink Floyd related material - I do have PDFs of both of these (i have physical bought copies too dw), so if you can't read/listen to either of them for any reason DM me and I'll send those PDFs to you :] They're both available widely on Amazon and other bookstores and Inside Out is also available as an audiobook!!
Guy Pratt's My Bass And Other Animals is 75% his own biography and 25% pink floyd related, so while it does have some Rick-related stuff in there, don't go into it expecting any in-detail explanations. Unfortunately I don't have a PDF of this book, but it is widely available and relatively inexpensive to buy (and I totally reccomend it!)
Franka Wright has supposedly been writing a tell-all on her marriage and experiences with him, but there haven't been many updates on it in a while. I've been relatively quiet on everything she's said about him in public as I don't think I have enough information on what happened to properly comment, but if that book does drop expect me to be the first in line to take a look
Websites/Online
Please god if you have even any passing interest use rickwright.com. It's a resource largely made by his estate and has a lot of information on there, it's a really sweet and interesting labour of love and I cannot reccomend it enough
pinkfloydz.com is an older website but has a gigantic catalogue of interviews, which include a large amount of transcribed interviews with Rick from 1996. It's just such a good resource in general and I highly reccomend checking it out, as even if you're not a Rick fan you still have a lot of interviews with the others in there
Here me out here; @mamazano (who has been inactive since 2021) has SO much on there that I don't feel bad putting them down as a source. Almost everything they post about is properly cited so you can find exactly where they came from, and they catalogue a lot of stuff that is locked behind more expensive/less available books. Their attention to detail for citing and sourcing quotes has been so admirable to me even if they're no longer on Tumblr anymore!
Watchlist
Here's links to watch Live At Pompeii, P.U.L.S.E, Delicate Sound of Thunder and Live 8 if you haven't done so already. also Chit Chat With Oysters has him for like 3 minutes
Remember That Night (an On An Island concert film)
Breaking Bread, Drinking Wine (On An Island tour documentary)
Rick talks about Syd for the 2001 Syd Barrett documentary by John Edginton
Broken China interview
Interview with Guy Pratt about PATGOD
There's definitely a lot more but this is the stuff I already had on my Youtube playlist of interviews - here's some that were on there but I haven't watched/listened to in a while so I can't 100% verify them rn (x) (x) (x)
Maybe one day I will try and chronologue all of the shit I know into something comprehensible but that definitely wouldn't just be a Tumblr post or smth lol
In the meantime I do thrive infodumping-wise off specific questions so if there's something more concrete you want me to (attempt to) explain I'm happy to do so! Thank you sm for the ask (I wouldn't have done this otherwise) and please feel free to contact me if you would like anything specific answered :]

Recommend Your Best or Favorite Books about Wicca
Hey Readers, could you please reblog this post or even send me an ask and recommend your favorite books on Wicca or the books about Wicca that you think are the best.
I'm not asking for Book reccomendations for myself, but instead I'm asking for a friend of mine. He's gone through a crisis of faith this past year, and while I'm doing my best to help him in any way I can, he's interested in looking into Wicca. I'm not Wiccan, I've never been a Wiccan, so I can't really help him with this as much as I would like to.
He's looking for books that focus less on the magical side of Wiccan practice and more focusing on the religious, spiritual, etc, aspect of Wicca. He's also Blind, so please make sure any book you recommend can be found on Kindle or in a PDF format, so he can read it.

Why hello,Hera here. I saw your Carmilla ramble and just wanted to say that I 100% agree. However,I feel like she makes sense somehow? Let me explain! We clearly see her as this respectable (yes,Velvette stay put) fairly modest woman, but I surmise that's a clear “don't judge a book by it’s cover” type of thing. And..yes,I would put photos but I cannot do that in anon...anyway.
Let's look at her. She is PERFECTLY portrayed as a hypocrite. Yes. Obviously there were some..character writing issues to say the least but she IS a hypocrite. Not just because she sells weapons; what does a hypocrite do? Say stuff and do otherwise, to their own advantage. She does everything she does to save her daughters and herself, saying to not cause war but outright attacking Vaggie AS SHE SET FOOT inside her chambers. She couldn't care less about other sinners,and that's WHY she sells weapons. She's a bad person, she sells guns to make other sinners outright attack eachother. Why? To bring more Sales of course. If you know you're in danger then..let's just say, wouldn't you sell your soul for some security? People have sold them for far less after all.
Secondly, notice how she's outright manipulating Vaggie,maybe Zestial even? She does absolutely NOT care about them. The only thing she has ever done for Zestial for all I remember in the show was stop Velvette from causing problems during the meeting,and when she felt like she was losing control over it — as someone manipulative would do — she shuts her down sending her away. She understood she f-cked up and TO NOT RUIN HER FACADE she literally admitted everything just to keep the strings stretched thin. And that's the thing about the final stretch: It can keep stretching for however long she wishes it to. After keeping it from people you must either speak up about it or let the situation fall into the hands of fate which isn't really reccomended when you're trying to guilt-trip someone with a heart wrenching Song,no?
ABOUT SONGS CAN WE PLEASE SPEAK ABOUT OUT FOR LOVE? that song is absolutely screaming: “I didn't tell you this for my own advantage but I'm trying to distract you by telling you to fight for who you love yes whoo totally cohesive with what the main trope is!”.
Last and probably least, we take english as the official and outmost canon language in which the show is written. However, in certain translations DURING the overlord meeting — more specifically while velvette sang respectless — she said “I warn you that sooner or later you will pay for it, If it were up to me I would kick you out of here!”. Now, I know this is probably to actually make it rhyme but IT'S NOT JUST THAT. Because if we take a little more objective view we understand that she is exactly the type to be so aggressive. She sells weapons,attacks Vaggie, Stays behind closed doors when she could've HELPED her, and look at what information she actively chose to withold versus what she said up until out for love? . Think about it,She cares for herself and for her daughters..which brings me up to the first point.
Now, you're probably right and she's Just badly written but THERE'S STILL HOPE! I hope-
Ah you are certainly onto something. I also noticed that she basically confirmed Velvette's words by shutting down the meeting just to not ay it directly. Like, it was a terrible choice. She's obviously not as strong and wise as she poses if one (1) loud lady was able to disarm her so quickly. She's as short tempered as Vox or Val considering that Vaggie she attacked for no reason. I honestly agree with everything that you've written because it makes sense. I'm sure her being just a hypocrite wouldn't bother me that much if it wasn't for the way the show frames her. I can't really describe it I feel like it insists, I should see her in a positive light. That's not the case with any other Overlord. Even Rosie is explicitly shown to be profit-driven and manipulative (don't get me wrong, I would die for this woman but she basically told Charlie "here's how you can convince my people to die for your cause without telling them that they will probably die"). But Carmilla is just fierce, protective, supportive and reasonable. Dunno, I hope they will fix her somehow in season 2 since she's probably not going anywhere.

I have done 1000 days of learning French and Duolingo has become nothing but a source of anxiety and a burden. So I'm quitting completely. This was the last milestone I wanted to reach. If you have any reccomendations of French books or TV shows to watch, please send them to meee! Specifically I'm looking for books with a reading age of like 8 years old (I know I'm not good at French, that's why I'm quitting Duo)

I don't really have like. Goals right now for this year or the next four other than survive and get back into reading. I finished For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn at the beginning of the year in like 2, 3 days (and I cannot reccomend it or the Hells Belles series enough - the skits are all getting moved over to YouTube in different compilations and they bring me joy). I'm currently reading the first book in the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. I've got some books on a tbr but if anyone's got any other reccomendations please send them over it doesn't matter if it's fiction or non fiction I just want books

Hello there, thanks for stumbling across my blog!
(Here's a lil comic I made for a school assignment)
Artblog: @chronicallyartistic
Audio drama blog: @chronically-listeningtopodcasts
I'm going to start putting my social energy levels in my bio... There's a lot of stuff I want to respond to but i currently dont have the energy to do so, and so if I don't respond within like a day, check my bio and see that...
Who am I / Where else can you find me?
First of all, feel free to call me Eli!! I'm on the waiting list for an autism diagnosis. I am agender and aroace-spec.
I am verrryyy enthusiastic about the things I am interested in (hence the URL hehehe). And currently, those are: podcasts (theres a list at the bottom of the post), good omens, ofmd, bbc merlin, star trek!!!!, lotr, and probably more things that I am too tired to think of right now!
I use the queue! Im not awake at the ungodly hours i sometimes am seen posting at, I just dont want to utterly flood peoples dashes! I do reblog fandom stuff and things ive added anything to immediately, so if you see a few posts in short succession, im online!
I am a very big fan of the oxford comma and double brackets. Semicolons are pretty cool too. And ellipses are incredible.
i love all of my mutuals dearly!! Making cookies and hot chocolate for you all <33
I try to use tone tags as much as possible!
Boundaries:
Things I am okay with sharing/doing:
My age, gender/sexuality, things about my guinea pigs!!, and most other things
Things I am not okay with sharing/doing:
The city I live in, pictures of me/anyone I know, my full name, my birthdate, my phone number/email address, meeting up with people irl, sending/receiving money/gifts, dms (<- though if we're mutuals and interacted a lot dms are fine!!)
^ this applies to everyone im not in the discord with
I will let someone know if they cross boundaries, and *really* would like other people to let me know if I cross theirs!!
DNI: people who are here to spread hate and anger. Just, stay away. I dont engage in discourse. I know DNIs dont deterr these people, but this is a demonstration of my core values :)
Tags:
(At the top cause otherwise it will get lost) ALSO #tw body horror
I block quite a few tags but most notably #tw war and other ones to do with the war in israel/palestine. This is not because I don't care. I care so so so much about what is happening and I cry every time I see a post about it. It breaks my heart that such horrible things are happening. However, I really struggle with high empathy, and seeing a post about it can really affect me for a while, and I need tumblr to be a safe space away from the real world problems. If I follow you - please could you tag things to do with war. Thank you <3
Updated to clarify - I do block the generic tags such as Israel and Gaza, which most of the posts are tagged with by the op, so if you forget its no big deal!!
A list of all the podcasts I listen to because y'know, its fun:
Fiction:
The Amelia Project
Wooden Overcoats
The Adventure Zone
Sherlock & Co
Alba Salix
Unseen
And a whole lot more that i no longer listen to either because they havent updated or they are a little too creepy (Welcome to Night Vale falls into the latter category)
Science:
The Sci Guys
Lets Learn Everything
Lingthusiasm
A podcast of unnecessary detail.
Comedy/other:
Dear Hank and John
The Unmade Podcast
Books Unbound
Lateral
A book list of recommendations from mutuals for my own use:
abigail by Magda Szasbo (@mack-anthology-mp3)
The Alphabet of Candice Phee (@jamie-dinow)
A list of music reccomendations from mutuals:
in the lap of the gods revisited by queen, why can't i be you by the cure, pyramid song, and lucky & the tourist by radiohead, when the sun hits by slowdive, dancing barefoot by patti smith, tangerine by led zeppelin, autumn sweater by yo la tengo, rubber ring by the smiths, water by pj harvey (from @/mack-anthology-mp3)

ok sorry its another lightlark post.
bro it would have been so cool if oro was actually disabled. like there's that part of lightlark where he's like "dying" and his arm turns grey and whatever. and he like faints and stuff. but it would have been way cooler if oro had just been straight up disabled from the beginning.
it would be awesome if the sexy lead was disabled??? like that would be a win imo tbh. like even if i still didn't like lightlark. I would give it props if one of the boys was a disabled man that was still portrayed as desirable
it would have been so cool to have a disabled lead in a fantasy novel. like cmon it can't just be me and robin hobb in the room /j /j /j there are fantasy novels with disabled leads. side note if you know any please send me an ask and reccomend them to me im so hungry
it would have been really cool. just straight up. it would be cool to see the way that the king is connected to the land. It would have fit in with some of the ideas of like. birthright and the connection to the land that aster hinted at but didn't explore. Because lightlark is fundamentally about getting some hot shadow magic dick unfortunately. (not a sin just. dissapointing when she keeps dropping interesting ideas to simp after grim)
like. a more interesting book could take the idea of being connected to the land like that (and books have, just can't summon to mind a good example atm-- wait the fisher king in arthurian legend. literally. the land is dying so the king is dying the king is dying so the land is dying)
like that's such a cool thing ! ! ! ! sigh. i will have to write a good story about it sometime
uh oh the guards are coming to sedate me sorry for posting about lightlark more /j /j /j

Hi hi!! I saw your post saying we could ak anything regarding psychology/ majoring psychology in college, so hopefully this question is okay to ask:)
So im currently still in highschool rn but psychology is what i want to major in college, and since summers coming up for me soon i wanted to try like..researching about psychology myself,,,😭 i mean like, i know i wouldnt get far since im not very good at researching itself but learning topics related to psychology make me so, so happy. I was wondering if you could reccomend any articles, studies, etc. about your favorite topics?
Of course if you cant or simply don’t want to thats okay too! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this:) have a good one!!
hi there, thank you for sending this ask <3 it is nice to see how curious you are about psychology! so before exploring psychological research, i’d like you to read thoroughly about basic psychological concepts.
you need a strong knowledge base before you can take up research otherwise it can be a little bit tricky for you. you can pick up books like:
- Kaplan
- Passer & Smith
- Baron
- Cicarelli
These books will give you a pretty good idea about a majority of topics in psychology and they also include case studies + research findings.
In addition, if you want to look up research papers about certain topics, you can use Google Scholar, Research Gate, etc. I will recommend you to read from only the latest papers (not more than 5 years old), but in case not a lot of recent literature is available for some topic, you can always refer to older papers.
As far as my research interests go, I love working on-
- developmental psychology especially geriatric concerns
- interventions for mood disorders
- media psych
i’ve only listed a few here but there’s so much more i’m looking forward to work upon! I can’t put in papers or articles here right now but i’ll soon probably make a post which i will keep updating with cool papers/articles/posts about psychology i find :))
please take care and good luck for the future! i’m always here whenever you need help

I FINISHED IT AND AGH I NEED TO READ THE NEXT ONE BUT I DONT HAVE IT PLEASE SEND HELP HEKAKSKSAKSKKS
I love their relationship. The tenderness and the mutual care and the deep understanding that they are bound to each other inextricably. I love that Laurence sleeps wrapped in temeraires wings, thats hust such beautiful imagery. And Temeraire helps Laurence think more critically about the world!
It was so sad that Levitas died.... Rankin was despicable for his apathy towards him. It truly broke my heart (this book did that a lot to be honest).
THANK YOU FOR RECCOMENDING THIS AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO UNTIL I CAN READ THE NEXT ONE!!!! maybe just sit here with painful anticipation and refraining from entering the tag to avoid spoilers........
ahhh I'm so glad you liked it!
I knowww they're so sweet. They love each other so much, and they make each other better! What more could you ask for.
The shit with Levitas was completely heartbreaking, you are so right. As least Laurence yelled at Rankin a little and made him visit Levitas on his deathbed, but somehow that hurt even more!
You finished really fast, but I'm not super surprised tbh, I couldn't put it down either. Good luck with waiting for the next book, I know I couldn't stand not living in Temeraire world for even a few days

Te Welcome home site update is so, SO GOOD.
You can see the amount of work that went into it it's insane. I want to rant about it here- I heavily reccomend everyone to go check it out, PLEASE! Spoilers under cut!
Firstly, we got the voices of the characters?! Like how crazy is that?!!! The audios all sound so well, I bow my head to the voice actors and to Clown for choosing them and writing the lines.
Secondly THE GODDAMN ENTIRE GALLERY OF PROPS. What amount of time and effort must've gone into making these???? I cannot stress enough how it blows my mind. You can see the dedication and the passion.
Third, the secret videos. For those who don't know, on certain pages (I only discovered two for now) there will appear bug gifs (butterfly, beetle, etc). When you click on them, a FREAKING VIDEO APPEARS. A VIDEO. LIVE FOOTAGE TOO, NOT ANIMATION. Under it there's a transcript of what characters are there and what they say. From the two I found, they seem to be about Frank and that something is happening to his garden and he discusses it with other residents. The videos end/glitch out when he asks Wally about his opinion on whatever they're talking about and to be fair, it scared the everliving hell out of me the first time it happened, I literally got jumpscared- I'm discovering more as of writing this and I found more, this one with Eddie and Howdy, but they seem to be just talking. What is the thing that brings all the videos together is the Wally glitchout.
Also the 8bit gifs are so pretty I can't-
You can't send anymore thigs into the guest book, that is fair, the amount of submissions probably overwhelmed Clown. It was handled so well though, with the drawing os Sally holding a stop sign :D
There are more hidden audios/things about Wally knowing he's being looked at, that's fun :]
The amount of audio now is truly astounding. I'm just- AHHH I CAN'T WORD IT IT'S SO GOOD
Only now have I noticed the amount of bug-themed things in there too! It's very interesting indeed-
I ranted a lot here, huh... Well, it's worth ranting about! Have a great day! Remember: You're just the most!
