This one I stumbled on myself...info on my Lord and Master, Tobias Menzies! 20 questions and some very interesting answers. And confirms the info my previous Tobias source shared--he likes to drink Margaritas!

A man after my own heart! We both love to be in bed, wake up leisurely, coffee, looking out the window, books, eggs, dusk, and Margaritas! And no surprise that he likes Irish goodbyes aka stealthily leaving a party without anyone noticing--no long winded lengthy goodbyes hahaha.

dandelion casually dropping traumatic information while insisting that instead of killing the problem wizard they simply burn his tongue

#dungeons and dragons #dnd #dnd character #dnd oc #dnd art #dandelion treehollow #warlock #drow #all he does is talk... and talk... and talk #they did not actually burn the wizard's tongue it's cool #instead dande used his disguise magic to look like a sexy vampire and promised the vampire larper wizard the dark gift if he behaved #love when dande gets to put on a show because he says wild shit like i hate when people beg for their lives it makes me want to act out #dande had a wild episode #start of the episode: gets to pretend to be a sexy domineering vampire #end of episode: screaming and sobbing in pain after the curse-bomb in his head went off because he broke one of the curse-rules #where he can't sneak away from the party because the last time he did that be betrayed them big time #it's complicated... and delicious #also right before that the paladin was telling him he needs to find god LOL because he's worried about dande's soul #and dande blew him off saying he has plenty of time he's not gonna die (again)#only to then be convinced he's being killed by the curse in his head......#embarrassing.................

You know what, I've read enough fanfic. I'm confiscating Madame Yu from you guys

Free my girl- she did the things she's being accused of, but not as frequently or severely as the fandom pretends, her actions are being taken out of context, and her depth is being reduced to that of a Colleen Hoover antagonist

#mdzs #madame yu #yu ziyuan #oh to live in a world that showed her the fraction of the empathy this fandom shows jgy or xy #or as the svsss fandom shows Shen Jiu #even though she didnt do anything nearly as bad as any of those guys #like- she was extra harsh and observant towards wwx but she didnt actually do anything other than enforce rules/punishments #which are noted to be significantly lighter than those of the Lan clan #and y'all know the whole whipping thing was an act right? y'all know she was making a gamble to try and get the wens to leave right?#y'all remember that its noted that wwx would recover in like a couple days right?#she's not some vindictive woman who baselessly hates wwx and beats him for no reason #god forbid a woman be mean and unhappy after being more or less forced into giving up her carrier to marry a man who doesnt love her #and then said man adopts his crush's kid and treats said kid with more kindness than any of his own kids #if y'all were just taking a hard line against beating kids I think I could respect that but no-#fics will condemn Madame Yu and then wubify Lan Qiren in the same breath #the tgcf fandom's treatment of Ling Wen gave me hope but y'all let me down

The subtle cosmic horror underlying the entirety of Sweeth Tooth is. So so so good.

#sweet tooth netflix #the earth is a living thinking entity that can break all known rules of science in an act of self-preservation #and it communicates directly through deer

hey this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular but I’m saying it for the record here: if I tell you no, please stop messaging me about fundraisers and mutual aid.

I get enough messages that it’s impossible for me to keep up without devoting at least half an hour each day, when I’m not even on tumblr that long most days. Me having a boundary about this isn’t a moral failing, it’s a lifeboat for me on my own blog.

In my personal life I’m already advocating and donating literally as much as I can spare. This is not me not caring, it’s just me not willing to interact with that on the one place I go online to not interact with irl news and world events for the most part.

I cannot be upset all the time. I cannot be upset everywhere. I cannot use all my emotional and mental energy fielding my own upset from ongoing events. My options are to hold boundaries about this or stop coming online at all.

I’m all for sharing information and signal boosting to reasonable extents, but the scale of it this year is so large and so enduring that it is literally not possible to for me to participate on every account I have. I’ve previously shared links to Gaza eSIM donations and a major hub of verified Go Fund Mes here and elsewhere online. We, the online humans, know how to look those things up ourselves by now. There are many, many people choosing to do advocacy work, and right now, I can’t be one of them.

If you’re extremely upset when I tell you I can’t share/donate right now about a Gaza family or personal fundraiser you ask me to share here, just unfollow and block me. That’s what those buttons are for. Protect your own emotions and energy and get me off your feed instead of staying upset and continuing to engage with online people or content that upsets you.

Please don’t send repeated angry messages based on manufactured purity politics and moral outrage into my messages and inbox when I exercise the right to run my own blog.

#and on that note #I also think some people need to sit down and ask themselves #if their old end times anxieties and fears and preparations and word spreading #haven’t filtered straight into a new non religious end of society and end of modern world order anxiety that they’re pushing on other peopl #even if it is the end times #you cannot change that by beating your own anxieties into other people’s heads #people can care MORE when they are GIVEN ROOM TO BREATHE #first rule of sustainable activism is you can’t do it constantly and you can’t push it on people constantly #you have to pace it and you have have have have HAVE to play long games #short term activism burns you out and if it leads to full despair from burnout it can get you killed via depression #it’s not a joke #there’s a reason your elders have books and community lore about healthy activism even in times of crisis #they lived it. they learned from it. learn from them.#spend your time doing things that can make real impacts.#do little things online but unless you’re an actual information hub you shouldn’t be posting constantly about it #people won’t even want to follow you anymore eventually because that’s not why they followed you #and then you have no audience for your important message anyway.#I know this. I learned it myself on other accounts.#please. stop. harassing me.#how is harassing me going to make me MORE willing to change my mind and post? just because you demanded it?#I am an autonomous person #this is my ONE curated space on the website #you have a multitude of tags and other users #don’t waste energy on a person who already told you no. let’s call that activism rule number two #spend your energy where it’s not likely to be wasted #you’re needed for a long haul #act like it 😭#and stop spamming me 😭#hey little star whatcha gonna queue?

can i not even be a part of a whatsapp group about our local nature conservancy without that jumped up wannabe estate group in our area punting their shit

#they seem to be under the impression that they can form a private security company with the word estate in ot and that makes the area #an....estate #and that because 51% of residents signed up they can start putting signs up and demanding that all other residents must acquiesce #to their rules. um. no?#no offence but if you want to live in an estate you'd...live in an estate #also c'mon guys it's because the comrades are coming up #i am...58% reading too much into this but also it's been four years and i'm just fucking annoyed about it. go away. get out of my face #stop acting like other residents are deliberately going out of their way to sabotage your project when in reality most people are fine #not me though! i'm going to deliberately phone the municipality about their newest batch of signs <3 #apologies for the suburbia blogging; can you tell i hate it here?#will delete later

I looked at my wife and said: “I know you just got here, but I’m wondering how soon we can leave.”

#we will now have to talk seriously about contingency plans that involve living outside the US #after the Muñoz ruling the writing was already on the wall and it is just going downhill from here #us elections #2024 election #election 2024 #it’s certainly a time to be alive in this godforsaken hellhole of a country #if Obergefell is overturned no amount of marriage act will fix Muñoz #if they can recognize a marriage and still force couples to live in two different nations on #you know #suspicions based upon of all things #misinterpretation of tattoos #if according to the ultraconservatives a right to marriage is not the same as a right to live with your spouse #if they can fabricate an easily disproven reason to keep my spouse out of the country as they did to Mr. Muñoz #and keep my spouse out despite the fabricated bullshit reason BEING disproven #then what the fuck good does it do #might as well leave if we can before they make us

As a show of good faith toward the remaining Decepticons at the beginning of a new, united Cybertron, newly appointed Senators Bumblebee and Soundwave allowed Shatter and Dropkick to enlist into Autobot City's Defense Team.

These two turned out to be... not the best choices.

The city may have fallen to Insurgent Decepticon occupation had it not been for young recruits Hot Rod and Arcee's accidental interception of Shatter's communication with the fugitive Starscream.

To replace the errant Defense Team members, Springer and Blurr were reassigned from Iacon to Autobot City in their stead.

#my art #tf reconstruction #transformers #bumblebee movie #tf shatter #tf dropkick #maccadam #transformers au #semi-introduction to my idea for antagonists in tf:r - specifically being movie villains slotted into my au #bc if the main crux of the main reconstruction story in autobot city is about hot rod and her rise to becoming rodimus prime #which comes from the First movie - why not loosely adapt other movies too??#ive got ideas for most of them already - kinda jumping back and forth between the modern day story and my pre-war ''downfall'' story #which gives my brain a break from thinking about one to think about another #anyway - i imagine the first ''episode'' of tf:r would be like. hot rod shows up in autobot city on her first day > meets the team #> gets assigned arcee as her partner > arcee hates it > they over hear shatter talking to someone they don't recognise because rod's nosey #> huh that's weird > they intercept it next time by accident > its a communication to starscream about the city's defenses #> they take it to ultra magnus but they break the pad on the way because they were arguing about it #> ''hot rod i know you're new here. and you're intrigued about the war and everything. but we shouldn't be suspicious of everyone wearing a #purple badge. give them a chance.'' > arcee drops it bc she doesn't wanna start trouble + ''magnus will handle it. he always does somehow.'#> rod does not drop it and makes blaster monitor shatter's messages for anything unusual > blaster indulges her bc he's endeared to her #> he does end up intercepting an encrypted message > rod immediately acts and chases after shatter and dropkick on an outside-city mission #> arcee goes after her to stop her from fucking up really bad > blaster unencrypts the message. it's a rendezvous point to start an invasio #> magnus kup blaster and perceptor all head out to help the two young'uns before they get in over their heads #> rod and arcee meet and fight starscream and barely make it out by the skin of the teeth thanks to the more experienced autobots arrival #> starscream shatter dropkick and whoever else is there are driven off #> day is saved - magnus commends rod's gut instincts but rod goes back to what magnus said about not trusting bots with purple badges #> she was right this time but its an exception not a rule and most other decepticons in the city want to live in peace #> magnus also commends that attitude and the team head back > starscream starts plotting his Next Big Plan #''post credits'' scene of magnus putting the request in for springer and blurr + robot dinosaur opening its eye in the dark👀👀#longwinded but ya thats like the Clearest idea for Specific Events so far other things are Stuff I Want To Happen

i say this as a committed ass veg bitch . i respect a meat eater who will eat any meat be it dog turtle rabbit narwhal seal etc wayyyy more than a meat eater who claims that some animals are ontologically not for food while others are and it makes no sense until you realize the animals that are “wrong to eat” are the ones they personally find cute or they’re eaten by people from other cultures than their own

#white canadians eating pork or tuna and acting like Muktuk is Wrong To Eat #as tho any set of rational rules you can draw up would include tuna and pig in the list of animals that are ok to eat #while simultaneously excluding the beluga or the narwhal #like either you learn to live with the idea that any animal is ok to eat #or you decide none of them are and you should avoid eating them as much as possible

Today’s movie on the Halloween list was Edward Scissorhands and god all I can think whenever I watch it is how good an analogy it is for autism

#this person is ~different~ and ~strange~ he doesn’t understand social rules and thinks very literally #he gets intensely focused on a particular activity (and specifically is very creative)#he doesn’t talk much and when he does his voice stays very soft and somewhat flat #he shuts down when overwhelmed or confused #he tries to mirror how people act in social situations #he feels very strongly about things but doesn’t visibly express it much #his ‘difference’ is seen as dangerous but he’s often a victim #people manipulate him and take advantage of him and misunderstand him #but the people who genuinely care about him never try to change him #they just try to help him live as full a life as possible with as little discomfort as possible #but unfortunately in the end the society he tries to exist in just isn’t safe for him #edward scissorhands #actually autistic #autism

"It is too easy to dismiss [Leonor of Navarre] as an overambitious schemer who would do anything to obtain a crown, shedding the blood of her own siblings and her subjects in order to attain the throne. However, a deeper investigation of her long lieutenancy and ephemeral reign shows a woman who fought tenaciously to preserve her place but also worked tirelessly to administer a realm which was crippled by internal conflict and the center of the political schemes of France, Aragon, and Castile. She tried to broker peace, fight off those who opposed her, repair the wounds caused by conflict, protect the sovereignty of the realm, and keep the wheels of governance turning. Leonor was not always successful in achieving all of these aims but given the background of conflict and the lack of cooperation she received from all of her family members, bar her loyal husband, it is a huge achievement that she survived to wear the crown at all. Many writers have argued that Leonor deserved the troubled lieutenancy, personal tragedies, an ephemeral reign, and a blackened reputation, basing their assumption that she committed a crime that cannot be [conclusively] proven. However, a more fitting description of her would be that of a resolute ruler who successfully overcame a multitude of challenges in order to survive in a difficult political landscape and gain a hard-fought throne.”

-Elena Woodacre, "Leonor of Navarre: The Price of Ambition", Queenship, Gender and Reputation in the Medieval and Early Modern West, 1060-1600 (Edited by Zita Eva Rohr and Lisa Benz)
