Shout-out to the FinFin discord for being incredibly kind and welcoming! 💙

We might've already figured out a way to get "The Book of FinFin" to you all exactly how it was originally intended in terms of looks! There are folks on there who are wizards with HTML and I bow before them!

That and I'll even edit images that have German text on them to be in English but retain their original charm for the translation!

An example, the original:

the edit:

I am so excited to get to work on this with the team behind the homepage & gift us all a bit more FinFin in our lives! :>

I love it when I’m arguing about Native American history with someone online and they assume I’m virtue signalling or whatever and say “well what have you done for your native community other than whine online?” And I then explain to them that yeah, I have done nothing. Because I’m across a fucking ocean. I’m British and even I know more about the native people of your country than you do. And I’d like to say that that usually shuts them up but then they usually just say “why do you care then” which isn’t funny and also I care cause I’m a human person. These people out themselves as dehumanisers so quickly lmao

You see Jackie is great because she has a similar appeal to me as Maxwell but she's a lesbian and also not british so she's automatically a billion times better and more interesting

I like to imagine that Elemental Masters of Earth are more prone to breaking their bones than other elementals- not because they’re brittle or anything, but rather because the amount of force needed to facilitate the master’s hysterical strength (which can be defined as a point where your muscles operate at 100% capacity rather than a much more reasonable amount due to heightened adrenaline in extremely stressful situations)/enhanced strength that comes with their powerset is greater than what a human’s bones can withstand. This means they have a tendency to break their own bones by exerting themselves too much.

However, I’d also like to think, through virtue of their element and the metals/minerals in the things we eat, that their bones repair themselves and become stronger than they were before, now reinforced by iron and other small amounts of precious metals and stone. Earth elementals probably have a hunger for iron-rich foods, or may even show signs of iron-deficiency because of this.

There’s a reason that normal human’s bones don’t do something similar to this, though. When a normal human’s bones break and then repair, they come back stronger for a period of time before they are whittled down to the correct thickness. If another accident were to occur in that area, the previously-broken bone’s new strength could mean that rather than it breaking, another, more important structure breaks instead, leading to disastrous consequences and further injury.

In other words: Cole drinks his Bone Hurty Juice regularly

honestly it's kinda funny how my two main fields of study somehow bleed into everything i design (computer science: horrendously rule lawyer-y, requirements on brutal efficiency/biology: central idea on form directly serving function (bleeds severely into my character designs))

THE MAGIC OF VERMICOMPOSTING: HOW WORMS CAN TRANSFORM YOUR GARDEN AND REDUCE WASTE

Are you tired of throwing away your kitchen scraps and yard waste, only to see them end up in a landfill? What if I told you there was a magical solution that could transform your waste into nutrient-rich compost for your garden, all with the help of some slimy little creatures? That’s right, we’re talking about the magic of vermicomposting – the process of using worms to break down organic waste into a rich soil amendment. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of vermicomposting, how to set up your own worm bin, and tips for maintaining a healthy worm population. Get ready to discover the power of these little composting champions and transform your waste into a garden oasis!

Vermicomposting: What is it?

In vermicomposting, worms are used to compost. It is an efficient way to reduce kitchen and yard waste while providing a nutrient-rich additive for your garden.

The process is simple and does not require a lot of space. It only takes a composting bin, bedding material, and worms to get started. The worms will compost the organic matter once it has been broken down.

Composting worms are different from earthworms in your garden. They are specially adapted to eating organic matter and are very efficient at breaking it down.

Vermicomposting has many benefits, including reducing waste, improving your garden, and reducing your carbon footprint. If you want to reduce your waste and help the environment, vermicomposting is a great option!

The Benefits of Vermicomposting

Vermicomposting has clear benefits, and the practice is easy to implement. The worms will do the work of breaking down the organic matter into nutrient-rich, dark compost. This compost can then be used to fertilize plants in your garden. It is an efficient way to reduce waste while providing essential nutrients for your garden.

The benefits of vermicomposting extend beyond reducing waste and enhancing garden health. In addition to producing less waste, vermicomposting reduces the amount of methane released into the atmosphere. It has also been found that vermicomposting increases the number of beneficial microbes in soil, which helps plants absorb nutrients more effectively.

As a result of vermicomposting, toxins such as fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides are eliminated from the environment. Degrading organic matter also reduces carbon dioxide emissions and global warming. Moreover, plants are able to grow better as the soil becomes more resistant to erosion.

Overall, vermicomposting can play an important role in fighting climate change and reducing pollution. By recycling kitchen and yard waste, you can create nutrient-rich compost that has the potential to revolutionize your garden and help the environment.

Dylan absolutely let his Nerd Knowledge™ slip one time and showed his campers the cool "trick" that happens with Wint O Green Lifesavers when in the dark, and they absolutely loved it.

Watching put your head on my shoulder (cdrama) and the main guy...dare I say...autistic?

is it normal if i'm watching like the first 1 minute of a show (the dragon prince) and came up with like half an AU which will essentially throw away the whole plot by sheer design

I took the perks because I loooove hacking myself, but make no mistake cannonically my Sole Survivor Chuck is only good with the physical part of getting computers to work. Actual programming? just the tiniest bit above what an average citizen of their time would know and only because they were actively working on learning it the last year or so before the bombs fell

Perhaps this is an opinion that will seem controversial to those who like to keep spirit and science in separate containers, but it really just like. gets to me sometimes, just how much of therapy is witchcraft.

A therapist once had me visualize what it would look like if I “pulled” my traumatic feelings out of my body physically. I saw myself gather a heap of terrified ants, and she then told me to ask them what their purpose was, and if they’d be okay converting that nervous energy into enthusiasm for the task at hand instead. The same therapist also had me visualize speaking to myself as a little girl. My patron deity, Loki, once had me do the same.

In my outpatient, I remember how much it struck me that group therapy is like. literally just a coven. We would sit in a circle and enter into the space together via meditation, followed by spending the rest of the time doing Good Work for ourselves and others, with the guidance of someone knowledgeable who’d been through it all.

These things are never separate when I look at them. To heal oneself and others, to care for the world, to craft a better future with shared willpower and kind intention—they are common goals with very common practices.

Magic has always just been the application of old sciences, and the new ones aren’t unfamiliar.
