#telling myself this is fine bc i haven’t bought myself new shit in years#and none of my jeans fit right anymore#so those are necessities#i still need to go to the shoe store bc my sketchers are like ten years old#and i got them at bealls#so i need nice clean sneakers and maybe some nice flats#idk how my parents will feel about me wearing my docs on the cruise even though i think they’re nice#fuck it! it’ll be cold so boots are normal and acceptable right#this suuuuuuuucks this suucks so bad#also i don’t consider myself to be that fat#like i definitely am a little bit but im really not that big i think im kind of average maybe a little above#but im consistently the largest size at these stores#how does anyone bigger than me buy clothes#like this is so ridiculous#im a 16/18/XL in women’s an L/XL in men’s#like this is a normal average size to be; and yet they only stock up to a 16 usually. i found one pair of pants in a 20#unbelievable shit happening at the gap

I love Sonic Boom so so much
The sweet charm of it is that they don't have the weight of the world on their shoulders so all of them can goof around and act their age with no worries, no masks, show their silly goofy teenage and child sides and that's what they're doing 90 percent of the time
It's like closest friends having a never-ending sleepover and bullying their weird crazy uncle when he tries to ground them or something and they also have an emo cousin who occasionally shows up to make fun of their blanket fort and criticize on their snacks.
I love Sonic Boom
#im a sucker for sth characters acting their age and Sonic Boom delivers so well on that#tails makes inventions for fun instead of necessity. those are his cool gadgets. toys#sonic the hedgehog#sonic#sth#sonic boom#boom sonic#boom amy#boom tails#boom knuckles#sticks the badger#miles tails prower#amy rose#knuckles the echidna#dr eggman#shadow the hedgehog#boom shadow#boom eggman

#first one was an attempt at the ovenbreak style idk if i succeeded#i lowkey draw him like those artists who carnally want their oc's#except i dont even like him like that#hes just fun to draw#i have so many really unfinished doodles of him#my goal is to design as many outfits for him as possible its a necessity#even though i have one default design i see him as the type to switch outfits pretty often#obv normal people irl wear different clothes every day but it dont work like that in most fiction#in this case its like a ramona flowers kinda thing his design changes every so often#i try to give him as many varying hairstyles as possible....#blueberry milk cookie#shadow milk cookie#my art

honestly i just dont get why sometimes people get all weird about quadrants and insist they’re unhealthy always no matter what
like yeah im not stupid i know they CAN be fucked up and can be weird and toxic but so can any romance. human romance has been toxic and fucked up for me many times. tbh if we take a step back and just look at the basic ideas of all of them i don’t think any of those have to be evil and terrible necessarily
like oh no me and my boyfriend have a fun rivalry that we both like being in and both agreed to where we have fun competing with each other and talking shit and then make out! FUCK!!! that’s horrible i would NEVER want that! i would never be guilty of forcing my boyfriend to play tetris with me over and over and insulting him the entire time
oh no my boyfriend has anxiety and i calm him down! oh god we like cuddling and talking about feelings! we both agreed we like this relationship dynamic and feel fulfilled by it! AAA SCARY!!! GET SCARED!!!
oh no sometimes my boyfriends are both annoying and i voluntarily get between that and make people be less annoying! FUCK!!!!!!!! we are going to DIVORCE!!!
#it’s cool if you don’t personally want any of those things#and yeah#alternia is fucked up#big fucked up murder planet#they love insane fucked up rules that are bad for everyone#but idk i feel like all romance is kind of fucked up#and you usually always have to do an insane amount of work to make it healthy and normal lol#and none of these dynamics by necessity HAVE to be horrible#you don’t HAVE to only rely on your moirail and not talk to your friends about your feelings#you don’t HAVE to get fucked up with your kismesis#you don’t HAVE to be a sad unfulfilled auspistice who kinda gets pushed into the relationship#if i’m thinking about the dynamics purely just as concepts#none of that shits a requirement#idk if this makes any sense to anyone else lmao#i just mean like#i don’t think any of those things are uniquely terrible i guess not in any ways that human romance isn’t#and people manage to have ok human romances all the time#not as often as they should lmao#but sometimes#so why not quadrants#i can get being uncomfortable with them#they’re weird#and definitely more complex than i went into in the post#but i don’t think they’re uniquely terrible

in remembrance of all deceased transgender individuals who have been misgendered through paleontology
trans liberation does not stop with death insp by @sweatermuppet
#i work at a museum and im just. thinking a lot about how plaques around the world say “skeleton of a young girl”#or “bones of a [blank] year old man”#the idea that there are probably so many trans people on display with incorrect gender is just. haunting. i feel for them.#even those who have been misgendered on their gravestones. immortalized incorrectly.#if someone found my bones in the woods science would call me a girl and tag me as such and that just does Not sit right with me#i understand it can be a necessity for certain research but language really really matters. my sex and my gender are not the same#my bones do not determine my identity#trans art

I am genuinely so glad that the iwtv writers decided to age up not just Claudia, but the entire main vamp cast. Aging up Lestat, Louis and Armand to their late twenties to early thirties gives them more depth and dimension, both generally (in my experience, you experience, grow and develop so much in your twenties, even if it’s not necessarily as visible as the growth in your teens) and specifically for the individual characters (I have so many bullet points of thoughts in my notes app, I’m not even kidding).
Also, can you imagine how fucking insufferable Lestat would be about it if he had been turned before his singing voice had reached vocal maturity? He’d need an entire 600 page book to bitch about that exclusively
#iwtv#interview with the vampire#iwtv amc#your voice changes throughout your life but you generally reach ‘vocal maturity’ somewhere between 20-30#there’s an interesting thing where singers see their vocal range broaden strengthen and settle#not just because of practice (tho that’s obv important) but it’s physical as well#I’ve read and heard some really interesting interviews with opera singers in particular talking about the necessity of vocal maturity in#certain roles and that it’s not just that they physically need to be able to look the part but also sound the part#anyway I’m a big ol nerd who took high level music & drama in school#(so yes some of those bullet point thoughts are about commedia dell’arte i can’t help it)

barbie doll gore mod where you can do his hair and put him in situations. it's exactly the same mod
#my routine is i wake up and i draw a gore who looks different from gore and also different from every other gore ive ever drawn#and then i play skyrim until my laptop fan sounds like it's gonna explode 👍#gore skyrim#skyrim gore#gore mod#doll implies a lack of agency but tbh it doesn't feel like that since as a companion he clearly will call you on shit/take responsibility#can't believe how much he claims his own decisions past and present. galaxy brain necessity but also that is so fucking tough on a person#i just replayed blood ties for the first time to see how the other choices go and hooooo boy those consequences are immediate and dire#also the dialogue is so realistically subtle#parts i wasn't sure exactly what he meant before bc he trailed off clicked this time nd holy shit.#so much gets conveyed in those relatively brief convos#i can't wait until im a high enough lvl for vigilant#zivs

every single time my grandmother talks to me she's like so are you and Saifey making any friends? going out? :))) and every single time I tell her that I do not want friends in any capacity and provide some anecdote that describes why I don't want friends. and she's like oh sure I understand that. and then next time it's like so have you and Saifey been meeting new people? :)))
#txt#this time she was like oh but you were such a social butterfly in high school with all your activities....#(which first off is blatantly wrong. i had activities. i also had three friends total.)#so i said yeah and when i graduated i realized i was only friends with those people out of necessity and convenience#and i didn't like them or enjoy spending time with them#and she was like ah yes i haven't stayed in touch with any of my high school friends either#but i know she'll ask again next time. no doubt in my mind whatsoever.

What better way to practice new prosthetics then to piss of the bitch that got you to need them in the first place!
In other news, my pirate ocs Gali and Ido (with a third Meridi not present) who are the two sides of the fulmini cult escapees :P
A bit of backstory under the cut since they're the only fuckers I have WITH a backstory! Which btw does detail cult shit so :P big fat warning for that-
The inciting incident on Petropia that introduced it's modern underground population to the surface named the Surface Craze was in all due part because of fulmini interference at the behest of the High Override, who saw what was initially just a planet entirely made of quartz-like crystal the Override Fleet could use as a power source. Having instead found that the planet was not only populated but by a species of the living variant of that same quartz-like material - electrical properties and all - but that additionally they can regenerate their crystalline body so long as they have the energy to pull from.
Seeing this as a solution to the fulmini's energy crisis - a perpetual machine at it's finest - the High Override sought to heh... acquire some petrosapiens for themselves. To their collective benefit, a community of petrosapiens had found their faith and world shattered, previously having been extremely devoted to the Sugi religion (derived from the ancient texts of Thuugi back when their tongues were long enough to be bitten off). Instead of needing to drag away dissenters who fought tooth and nail against the invaders, this community had already shifted their faith onto the false prophet of the High Override, which already had them fall into the Coupled Override head over heels.
The cult has now expanded it's pool of prey, and like the unwilling fulmini who gives the High Override their tithe (their minds, their central colony), the petrosapien cultists pay with their arms.
50 years (or the closest equivalent) into this arrangement, 50 years Petropia spent experiencing the surface for the first time in generations, Ido was born into the cult far away from the planet she should have known as home. Any doctor worth their salt had enough brains and stubbornness to not fall into faith-based trust of the Coupled Override, so between the lack of those and the remainder pseudoscience physicians left to echo chamber themselves, when Ido began developing Excessive Compression Disorder (ECD, a nerve-equivalent disorder that causes tension fractures throughout a petrosapien's crystalline structure) despite the rather obvious visible signed she went undiagnosed and improperly treated. At the age of 200 - a petrosapien's coming of age, and 50 years after Petropia's destruction - it was Ido's time to pay her tithe and begin her offerings to the High Override.
Gali - her sacrifricant - was to sever her arms below the elbow, as was procedure. What wasn't was the near explosive response from external pressure, or the last compressive force needed to completely shatter what had already started to break.
Cutting people's arms off is technically already a violent act however, though the lower arms survived the procedure as expected, the elbow and even upper arm had scattered shards of glass-fragile crystal in a visceral radius and physically severed through the sacrificant's central colony; then Gali was abruptly severed from the High Override after they felt as if a limb began necrotising. Sacrificants nor executioners really need an active memory to do their jobs, so Gali didn't need to have memory for however long their colony was one with the High Override's. Forcefully amputated from the larger system like an infection without any of the memories of being apart of said system however, kind of rewinds a colony back to the people they remember being long before any interference.
While Ido was caught staring wide-eyed, fearful, and newly lacking the limbs she thought she could regenerate easily - her arms try and try but they shatter like glass, crumble like sand, and she violently shudders like gravel grinding into each other - Gali regained access of their long unused senses and found a sea of hostile enemy combatants staring back. With all the training of a military general with none of the present self-awareness to realise they were the cause of the currently very panicky rock's lack of arms, Gali almost like a flick of a switch reverted to the many rules of engagement regardless of the fact that they were sporting exposed central colony that may or may not have been another's with their own collection of memories.
Seeing to rescue someone who had all their rights to fear them, Gali and Ido fled to the stars.
With a few language barriers mixed with someones learning they haven't spoken much longer then anyone thought they did, discovering how planets that were meant to be each other's home have been destroyed and irrecoverable, and learning the before and after to the horror story that is the High Override and their cultist network of external nerves and collective colony, Gali and Ido may or may not have gotten arrested :P
And they probably would have been tried for crimes neither of them could particularly understand not having learnt any of the common universal languages, up until the point the prison ship was raided by a collective of pirates only working together for equal cuts of the profits (the Plumbers used a prison ship to transport the Annihilargh while they still thought it to be a threat, what's to say they wouldn't simultaneaously transport prisoners - aka, the fucking point - with some high sought-after McGuffin). The pair would meet Meridi, a galvan with a penchant for mechanics and especially the kind that deceives an observer like - for instance - an android suit.
Meridi isn't here but gist is, she pilots both her own ship and an android resembling a human, and spies a pretty prize of walking talking taydenite. Instead of scoring a deal, she takes into consideration (perhaps with a cold calculation rather than a warm sympathy) the condition of ECD affected crystals and how much effort it would take to actually refine it and deems turning Ido into pocket change isn't worth it. In fact, further taking note of the explosive volatile footwork of crystallokinesis with the additional muscle of a fulmini veteran, actively helping Ido (and Gali by proxy) would potentially turn out more of a profit.
Gali isn't in dire need for hiding, but Ido uses shadow and a human-mouth jaw mask as tools to conceal what price her skin costs, while Meridi attempts to make prosthetics for a species that doesn't have nerves that also takes into account the unstable electrical currents produced by the compression of crystalline motor functions.
A bit of a tangent in a very long not-even-bothering-to-summarize backstory, I want to talk about petrosapien prosthetics, at least ones that can have 'motors' like Ido's arms (not like Chio's leg). With no external muscles to help strap in and extend the remnant of tendons humans have running through limbs, petrosapien exoskeletons do not offer the same interconnectivity and do not have easy ways to extend what had been cut off. Myoelectric limbs again by human standards also do not fit petrosapien nervous systems either, especially since the only nerves they have are in their equivalent of the central nervous system which also interacts with internal organs, the peripheral nervous system of a petrosapien operates with the highly structured yet individually unique non-standardised crystalline formations and compression. What Meridi does however is take material from Ido's crystal to create the joints in a conductive copper rod prosthetic (insulated in rubber to prevent harm to others), where Ido's compression triggers electricity to run down to remotely compress the crystal joints, which compress under the pressures of electricity and send the signal to be compressed again until motility is achieved.
And that is a lot of context :P woops- I either make no backstory or I make this convoluted piece of moving puzzle pieces, the duality of man I suppose :P

how my grandmother feels after bringing chaos (the bad kind) into a house which has been happy and peaceful since 3 months-
#Nah be so fr#that too when we have family events coming up#She watches too much of those over dramatic tv shows#Like what was the necessity?

On the subject of gotham county line and batman noel and so on and so forth it’s pretty frustrating (from a watsonian pov) that anytime Bruce hallucinates Jason being loving/ caring/helpful/compassionate towards him it’s always as robin and never as his current self
#it's ironic because Jason as robin never got the chance to become as obedient & devoted (malleable) to Bruce as he currently is#which is a result of being abused/manipulated for a more prolonged period of time#“maybe if I try harder and do it right this time he'll finally see the truth”#classic abuse tactic#no matter how well the victim fits the mold set by the abuser they’ll never acknowledge it#rather if they see you trying they’ll push harder and tell you you’re not perfect#the small shreds of affection here and there are important for motivating the victim to keep trying#kelseethe#Jason initiating the hug in rhato 27 after Bruce insinuated that those beatings will be a regular occurence bc he deems it a necessity#continuing to support Bruce even after Ethiopia and sticking around to help get Damian back#eagerly cooperating with Bruce + co in event leviathan then getting surprise pikachu faced/hurt after being betrayed#making a conscious decision to comfort Bruce in gotham war after Bruce fucked him up and left him behind#having undying conern for Bruce's wellbeing while Bruce regularly endangers his life#ex. Bruce's weird habit of committing vehicular assault on Jason whenever they're on the road demonstrated both in tfz and gotham war#point being: Jason was much more psychologically fit to be defiant towards Bruce when he was robin compared to now#he's more of a “good son”™ now than he was as robin Bruce is just too used to thinking whatever he wants and never being satisfied#the only times Jason got mad/upset at Bruce during one issue and continued to stay mad until the next#other than lost days and utrh was batman 410-411 and early in aditf before Bruce helps Jason find Sheila#so much worse has happened since then and all that just magically became water under the bridge off-panel

A fic!
Summary: It's Stone Monkey's first night with his new troop. Except the troop doesn't see how this is their problem. Alternatively: The Six-Eared Macaque teaches the Little Stone Monkey how to build a nest. Some things are more than instinct; some things require a little care.
#monkey king 2009#I work out some frustrations at the monkey troop in the show with some pointed incognito hurt/comfort#I don't write that often but sometimes the urge strikes. it's been ages.#anyway so I learned monkeys have to be taught how to build nests and that was my Sunday gone#did you know orangutans will make and add like - blankets and pillows and things to their nests?#bunk bed nests are a real thing!#it's pretty cool#next installment: six ears introduces stone monkey to the concept of macaque love taps#ie: smack the SHIT out of all your acquaintances to get those juicy juicy bugs out of them#and also appropriate tick removal techniques#you know: the necessities of life#stone monkey introduces HIMSELF to the concept of 'I guess I don't know my own strength'#rip six ears
