one of the things that's the most fucking frustrating for me about arguing with climate change deniers is the sheer fucking scope of how much it matters. sweating in my father's car, thinking about how it's the "hottest summer so far," every summer. and there's this deep, roiling rage that comes over me, every time.
the stakes are wrong, is the thing. that's part of what makes it not an actual debate: the other side isn't coming to the table with anything to fucking lose.
like okay. i am obviously pro gun control. but there is a basic human part of me that can understand and empathize with someone who says, "i'm worried that would lead to the law-abiding citizens being punished while criminals now essentially have a superpower." i don't agree, but i can tell the stakes for them are also very high.
but let's say the science is wrong and i'm wrong and the visible reality is wrong and every climate disaster refugee is wrong. let's say you're right, humans aren't causing it or it's not happening or whatever else. let's just say that, for fun.
so we spend hundreds of millions of dollars making the earth cleaner, and then it turns out we didn't need to do that. oops! we cleaned the earth. our children grow up with skies full of more butterflies and bees. lawns are taken over with rich local biodiversity. we don't cry over our electric bills anymore. and, if you're staunchly capitalist and i need to speak ROI with you - we've created so many jobs in developing sectors and we have exciting new investment opportunities.
i am reminded of kodak, and how they did not make "the switch" to digital photography; how within 20 years kodak was no longer a household brand. do we, as a nation, feel comfortable watching as the world makes "the switch" while we ride the laurels of oil? this boggles me. i have heard so much propaganda about how america cannot "fall behind" other countries, but in this crucial sector - the one that could actually influence our own monopolies - suddenly we turn the other cheek. but maybe you're right! maybe it will collapse like just another silicone valley dream. but isn't that the crux of capitalism? that some economies will peter out eventually?
but let's say you're right, and i'm wrong, and we stopped fracking for no good reason. that they re-seed quarries. that we tear down unused corporate-owned buildings or at least repurpose them for communities. that we make an effort, and that effort doesn't really help. what happens then? what are the stakes. what have we lost, and what have we gained?
sometimes we take our cars through a car wash and then later, it rains. "oh," we laugh to ourselves. we gripe about it over coffee with our coworkers. what a shame! but we are also aware: the car is cleaner. is that what you are worried about? that you'll make the effort but things will resolve naturally? that it will just be "a waste"?
and what i'm right. what if we're already seeing people lose their houses and their lives. what if it is happening everywhere, not just in coastal towns or equatorial countries you don't care about. what if i'm right and you're wrong but you're yelling and rich and powerful. so we ignore all of the bellwethers and all of the indicators and all of the sirens. what if we say - well, if it happens, it's fate.
nevermind. you wouldn't even wear a mask, anyway. i know what happens when you see disaster. you think the disaster will flinch if you just shout louder. that you can toss enough lives into the storm for the storm to recognize your sacrifice and balk. you argue because it feels good to stand up against "the liberals" even when the situation should not be political. you are busy crying for jesus with a bullhorn while i am trying to usher people into a shelter. you've already locked the doors, even on the church.
the stakes are skewed. you think this is some intellectual "debate" to win, some funny banter. you fuel up your huge unmuddied truck and say suck it to every citizen of that shitbird state california. serves them right for voting blue!
and the rest of us are terrified of the entire fucking environment collapsing.
#spilled ink#writeblr#i hope it is clear here that i actually very much care about equatorial countries#and that's part of what makes me so angry bc im like. climate refugees exist.#they've existed for a while!!!#and the reply is almost always ''should have thought about that before living on an island"#like fuck dude. do you need to like how people vote before ur like#your entire house shouldn't burn down each summer????#so many of these people make it their life to mock california that they think it's FUNNY#and im like. girl you should be fucking trembling. TEXAS??? ARE YOU LISTENING??#this is one of those times that like. i need to stress how fucking stupid it would be#to let trump win. bc he could have “reached across the aisle.” covid could have been#a MASSIVE commercial success. he has such a huge and bigoted and brainwashed following.#literally just a PR campaign called COWBOY UP and it's pictures of cowboys in bandanas#trump reinvisioned as the lone ranger fighting for the american people against covid. EASY SELL#and instead. companies bought him. it became political. it was not ''oh shit this is 1 enemy let's all be human''#it was ''you deserve to die.''#climate change should be GLOBAL. it should be like ''yeah i hate u but. we do all live here''#i don't have to LIKE my group members to do well on a team project bc we are ALL getting graded.#is that simple enough of an under-explaination lol

When you're engaged in an intense stare down with damn near every vampire in town - and probably losing.
Featuring vampires by @itcrescentcrow, @fallstaticexit, @simsdaughters, @antiquatedsimmer, @vicciouxs, @moonwoodhollow, @skyalenesims, @living-undead, @moonfromearth, @queenmabsim, @mosquito-cove, @raye-sim and @evilgoof. Thank you so much for your contributions! I hope you don't mind my embellishments. And to everyone still waiting, I appreciate your patience and there will be several future opportunities! 🧛
Previous / Next
The Top Dog
Vladislaus Straud:
Founder of Forgotten Hollow, de facto ruler
Lilith’s estranged (it’s complicated) sire
Enjoys lurking (read: eavesdropping) from afar
Cagey about his past, claims not to recall his years as a human (if he ever was one?)
Rumblings of discontent with his antiquated ways
Empire may be crumbling (if rotting, junk-filled castle is any indication)
(Lilith: And that god awful crow! It’s got to be as old as he is. Christ, the racket it makes!)
Veronica Aurelius:
Straud’s new protege (niece?)
Related through a distant bloodline (Lilith: Allegedly.)
Accomplished artist, historian, medium
Dreams led her to Forgotten Hollow (Lilith: Doubtful.)
Lilith’s replacement? (Lilith: He wishes.)
(Caleb: She looks sweet, but there’s a vicious streak beneath that glossy veneer.)
-
The Old Guard (Lilith: In other words, Straud’s minions.)
Elle DeVampiro, Inna Cents, Vlad Bloodvein:
aka The Nobles (Lilith: Fossilized Bitch, Slightly Less Fossilized Bitch, and The Inferior Vlad.)
Council of ancients who guard town’s borders from human trespassers
View vampirism as elite society: only most deserving should be initiated
Have hazing rituals to weed out weaklings
Never-ending blood supply flows from mysterious sources
Eternal life of ease has left them physically weakened, social status protects them
(Helena: Hazing rituals?
Caleb: Mind tricks. Intimidation tactics. Like humans, newborn vampires can be manipulated.
Lilith: Stop scaring her! A strong breeze could knock them over.)
Claudius and Marie Bouvet:
aka The Occult Hunters
Hunt spellcasters for their power
Hunt “exotic” occults (mermaids, aliens, fairies, etc.) to siphon and sell blood, consumed as an indulgent luxury
(Helena: Wait, you’re telling me mermaids and aliens are real?
Caleb: We exist. Is it really so hard to believe they do too?)
Hunt werewolves for sport (owing to centuries-long feud)
Sometimes hired to kill vampires if deemed a threat to community’s existence
(Helena: Werewolves!
Lilith: They smell like wet dog and taste awful.
Caleb: That hardly gives us the right to kill them.
Lilith: Oh, so we should just let them kill us?)
Elizabetha Bathoris:
aka The Gossip Hound (Lilith: She deserves a far nastier title. Sanctimonious cunt.)
Forgotten Hollow’s premier shit-stirrer
Rumored to bathe in virgins’ blood
Delights in spilling secrets that aren’t hers to tell
Loudly claims to be Straud’s “one who got away,” though unconfirmed by man himself
(Lilith: [scoffs] There’s only room for one delusional narcissist in that household.
Caleb: Lilith, please. At this rate, we’ll never finish.)
Carmela Castellano:
Owns sprawling private vineyard in countryside where Forgotten Hollow and Windenburg meet
Crafts exclusive (and expensive) blood vintages
Known for frequently dipping into her own supply
Hoped to raise adoptive daughter Pandora as protege
However, Pandora’s rebelliousness has led to household tensions
(Lilith: Nothing rivals the rush of feeding, but her blends come damn close.)
-
The Enigmas (Lilith: No one knows shit about them, and that’s how they like it.)
Dorian Vasile:
Born vampire, not transformed
Agoraphobic recluse, never seen to leave ruined cottage
Once prominent member of vampire society with many friends — and enemies
Fatal end to human love affair rumored to have led to voluntary isolation
Griselda Oreolo:
(Caleb: I wouldn’t recommend wandering any graveyards at night unless you want to meet The Bride.
Helena: The Bride?
Caleb: She can be quite ruthless.
Helena: As if I don’t already have enough graveyard-related trauma.)
An aristocrat transformed on wedding day, fated to dwell forever on what could have been
Cemeteries are her favorite hunting grounds
Not one for friendly conversation
Defends self first and foremost, no allegiance to other vampires
Nyx?:
Origins, real name, language unknown
Lurks the forest like a cryptid - quick, silent, and deadly
Known to kill men, disposes of withered bodies like a cat leaving gifts of mice for its owner (Lilith: Honestly, good for her.)
Interrupt mid-hunt at your own peril
-
The Challengers
Emet and Maxima Galvus
Obscenely wealthy tech CEO and “granddaughter”
Whispers they’re both much older than they look, by hundreds or even thousands of years (Lilith: I’ve yet to see any proof of that.)
Seem to purposely cultivate air of mystery, socializing little
Keep small coven as waitstaff
Emet fiercely protective of Maxima, though is he protecting her from world or world from her?
(Caleb: Don’t be dramatic, Lil. Yes, that stare of hers is unsettling, but-
Lilith: There’s nothing more aggravating than a precocious child. I don’t trust her one bit.)
Ulric Blüt and Herta Nacht:
(Lilith: I can’t believe you think they warrant serious inclusion. A delusional brat and his pathetic enabler are hardly a threat.)
A supposed demon overlord in the body of a child and his “14th Seneschal”
Taken deadly seriously by himself and no one else
Boasts Grim Reaper fears him, many assassinations dodged
Except his strangely devoted companion
Companion stealthily observant, formulating plans of her own?
Details of supposed coup TBD
Countess Maria Francisca Flores:
Mad vampire scientist (Lilith: [scoffs] An old woman doing science fair experiments.)
Claims to have transformed herself via scientific methods
Seeks to grow her “House Flores” with new vampires devoted to pursuit of knowledge
Unpublished manuscript on vampire anatomy
Old Guard disapprove, but for now human academics remain steadfast in denial
Currently studying cowplants, which scholars can admit do exist
(Helena: If she turned herself into a vampire, can’t she reverse-engineer a cure?
Caleb: I’ve asked. She’s incredibly tight-lipped about her findings.
Lilith: Because they’re non-existent!)
-
The Next Generation
Beginning in ‘60s and ‘70s, an influx of new vampires into Forgotten Hollow
Old Guard bristle at modernism but grudgingly admit transplants necessary to keep town thriving
Recent turnees or experienced vamps who’d rather evolve with times than stay stuck in past
Tend to form cliques based on shared subcultures
Enjoy mixing with humans, easily mistaken as such by undiscerning eyes (often a deadly mistake)
Less concerned with secrecy, hedonistic, impulsive
(Lilith: “Not coincidentally, shortly after we returned, what was once a trickle became a flood.”)
Example: Grunge Gang
Kiona and Nikan: trouble-making twins, street smart, book stupid
Vonny: stoner type, prefers when meals come to him
Clarissa: paranormal investigator turned paranormally investigated
Tara: wants to be good, surrounded by bad influences
Pandora: favors rock concerts over wine-making
-
Lilith: Did you get all that down? Rest up! The hands-on portion begins tomorrow.

Cool awesome reminder that you don’t need amazing technical skill to be a good artist/storyteller
#I still compare myself to other people but also like. Damn. What if I don’t need to#That’s literally what working with other people is for . so you can fill in for eachother and make an awesome thing :)#Reminder that Toby Fox is not a skilled visual artist LOL he makes concept art in mspaint#Ik He’s more of a composer / character writer but you know what I mean. He works with other people to bring those ideas to life#You don’t have to be good at everything !!#Txt#art#I say this because rendering pieces of art takes me dozens of hours and it’s literally so much work and I hate it sometimes#Ok then make a simple stylistic choice instead of doing a giant painting !! it will still carry the same or maybe even greater impact#I still want to make awesome giant beautiful pieces of art (illustration) but alas I don’t have infinite energy#I usually only make sketches instead and that doesn’t mean they’re unfinished. Maybe that’s just all they’re meant to be#Until I change my mind at least 🩷#Adhd#Honestly anything that gets your idea across is good enough. Depends on the idea

@glowweek Day 5 FAMILY | FRIENDS
Peridot and specially Lapis do not trust the racoons.
Specifically chose this angle so I don't draw feet. _(:,3」∠)_
Mi own connverse kids Ebony and Rohini are there! And technically Sakura and Zachary. (Please until now I don't know what else to name them. 😭)
And sorry the older Maheswarans aren't there. I don't know where to put them and I already had character overload. 😞
Hibiscus print on Bismuth's shirt is from ManMadeOfGold!
Speaking of shirt, another thing I avoided was thinking of their outfit designs. 😅 It's somewhere a little over a decade of timeskip since SU:Future and I'm sure at least one or two would've reformed during the time. So I'm gonna say they wanted to keep the vibe of a casual outdoors picnic-type event so they wore the casual themes.
#Still ..Honestly got lost on what to do with Bismuth and Pearl's forms. First tried to give the button up shirt she had in Bismuth casual#but it didn't look casual enough.... So I made it into a Hawaiian shirt. 😅#I ACTUALLY ended up Googling 'Mom casual summer outfit' lol and grabbed the first I saw as base..... I still managed to kinda make it#look... eh. But I already spent so much time on her. Sorry Pearl. 😞#I mean. In contrast I gave Garnet the super simple white shirt and loose pants. But like... She already looked so darn good imo. So I#just left it at that before I ruined it.#connverse#connverse week#glowweek#Bismuth SU#Ebony OC#Lapis Lazuli SU#Peridot SU#Garnet SU#Connie Maheswaran#Pearl SU#Amethyst SU#Greg Universe#Steven Quartz Universe#Rohini OC#Lion SU#Yeah. I'm late and the last two will most likely be super late as in around past the GlowWeek week. 😅#..... Guys..... I just realized ... There should be the rest of Greg's body visible. RIPPppp sorry I'm not going back to fix anything. 😭😭#Possible backstory of Lapis and Peri and raccoon:#https://www.tumblr.com/screwpinecaprice/141991576032/i-just-thought-it-would-be-really-funny-because-i#connverse kid#Gold TL

I'm scared. help 🥲)#that's one of the reasons i haven't been updating#the second one is that i got sick FOR THE THIRD. TIME. IN A MONTH.#LIKE HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT???#anyway now i am feeling better and decided to finally draw at least something. hope you enjoy <3#smg4#smg4 puzzlevision#mr puzzles#puzzlevision#mr puzzles fanart#smg4 fanart#smg4 mr puzzles#my work#artists on tumblr#did i stutter#animation meme#trend

shadow bandee design i made awhile ago :D (jan 17th, 24)
i feel like mirror bandee would be very skilled without putting the effort in, getting where they are by power, instead of earning it through putting the work in. this would lead to them becoming over-confident and become the cause their biggest weakness. a friend pointed out this would mirror dedede in the beginning of the series too!
#not the usual type of thing i post.. but i like seeing peoples headcanons. why not post mine#kirby#bandana dee#mirror world#im not sure how i feel about the mirror design..? it takes aspects of dmk skirby and shadow ddd#like with the over abundances of greys and reds. and dmks yellow eyes. it eases the usage of the first two colors#and the different bandana.. i didnt want the same thing as his counterpart. it doesnt tell characterization#just like how dmks mask is broken. and the red bandana can add to shadow ddds red in his design. to show hes apart of the kingdom#ahh ahh the different weapon too.. they all have different weapons dont they? its just something simple to show characterization.#a weapon doesnt need to be overcomplicated.. this just shows enough to tell where he is at this point#the eyes probably look edgy.. looking at the other mirror counterparts eyes theres usually something different about them#sorry for the design analysis i love rambling. kind of crazy how i hate talking in a public area though LOL#gamezz.txt#fanart
