Okay what is with those posts making Light out to be a Republican?? And transphobic/homophobic for that matter while Misa is an ally? 😭

Babes, it's Misa who was homophobic in canon. And while we're not shown Light's opinions on homosexuality afaik, Light is not really much judgemental about how people present themselves (see how he picks out a spot suitable for L to sit the way he sits).

I know it's 'funny' to make fun of problematic characters but you don't need to add whole new unfounded flaws to their character to do so holy shit

this is a little bit of a reach but I'm looking for any remote work anybody can throw at me, full-time to single freelance opportunities! paid, because I need to eat, but I can go pretty low! my moving plans are a little up in the air atm, but I know I'm moving out of state at the end of July, and finding new work has been a struggle. I can connect you with my linkedin/resume etc if you're willing to DM me so i know you're a real person, but for anyone casually interested, a lot of my experience is hands-on with animals in addition to years of social media and writing (contract and freelance), with the fields I'm most experienced in being animal welfare, environmental science and climate justice. if that applies to anyone, I'd love to talk! :) I'm assuming it won't, but if anyone can point me in the right direction, that's great too - I already haunt a lot of the big U.S. job boards like Ornithology Exchange, Texas A&M etc.

related - if you run a small/newer animal rescue and need help with social media (id be thrilled if it's Tumblr) I'd love to volunteer to help you out (not expecting pay for this!) if that applies to you, please reach out as well!

strong-side vs weak-side ↳ modified by me from this original hockey rink diagram: source // direct img // archive link // archived img

The strong side is the side of the ice where the puck (and most of the players) are located. The weak side is the other side. We speak of moving the puck from the strong side to the weak side of the ice to get away from pressure. Once the puck goes to the other side (and players follow), then that becomes the strong side.

concept: the hallucigenia / Worm from AoT functions sorta like the titular creature from The Thing. Rather than direct imitation and consumption, the Worm burrows into the inheritor's neck, and connects with their spinal column.

The Worm is parasitic. An inheritor can replicate powers from any of the "Nine" Titans but the combo of regenerative strain and neurological degeneration (is that the word?) will eventually drive them insane in less time than a regular Titan Shifter. Severing the host and Hallucigenia is not only exceptionally risky but will mean the host loses that regenerative powers and ability to Shift, while the Hallucigenia can, at best, only be captured and sealed away. And the other caveat being its host is extremely difficult to kill through traditional means, because the Hallucigenia can heal wounds that would otherwise be fatal, much like a Pure Titan.

The most reliable way to sever it is through a Titan's ingestion, but then that Shifter / Pure Titan must undergo the same descent into madness. The other way is to essentially cut the neck and as it heals, sever it from the head as it typically rests below where the cerebellum would be.

ive never gone to see an opera live in europe let alone one outside of a major theater that regularly records and broadcasts their productions so grain of salt etc but i think there's some kind of distinct cultural difference between how european companies do "reimagined" productions of operas vs how american companies do it

This man is the villain, everyone…

yeah…… makes sense.

I'm still working on the monster romance book rec list (it’s gonna be at least another month, I have like five potential entries to read first, but there’ll be a different rec list posted by new year's in the meantime) and truly I'm only growing more consternated about the lack of monster ladies in f/m romances.

Most of the monster ladies I found were f/f. Obviously it's great that there's several sapphic monster romances, but it's a bit strange to me that m/f romances are so unwilling to make the heroine monstrous or inhuman in appearance. Historically the beauty and the beast story (and its many monster/animal bridegroom variations; east of the sun west of the moon, prince hat under the ground, eros and phsyche, etc) could be used as a lesson/comfort for girls entering arranged marriages, telling them that this strange man might seem monstrous at first but if only she's Kind and Good and Trusting maybe it'll turn out he's a Good Man Actually (take a look at these videos by lindsay ellis and princess weekes for more info!), but today the monster romance vibe is more that of recognition of the Self through the Other (think Shape of Water) as well as questions of What Makes a Monster, Really (also smut, lots of smut, but that's not my vibe and not what I was looking for for this list). A good beauty and the beast retelling will take this into consideration (disney's version being an excellent example).

But is there no longing in the m/f romance world to as a woman feel that we are the monster and wanting to be recognized as worthy of love regardless? Why must the self-recognition always be through a pretty (or at most bland) face? Why is the only piece of media seeming willing to even consider taking the concept of a monster woman finding love seriously fucking Shrek?

Anyway, do tell me if you know of any other titles doing the monster lady romance thing, please, I'm dying.
