"Are you finished with my portrait yet? Show me!" "Cipacton, I can't draw you if you keep moving!"
#em draws stuff#em is posting about temeraire#temeraire#temeraire worldbuilding collection#ā¬ā¬ā¬ā¬ā¬š#did you like those guys from the last picture? here they are again :)#at this point I feel like I should have be oc tagging five deer and cipachcoatzin just for organizational purposes#but if I don't then I can pretend I can stop drawing them...#<- He Has Ideas For At Least One More Picture and Other People And Dragons They Know#if you want to see what five deer is drawing then turn your eyeballs to my previous drawing of them!#after finishing that one I wanted to figure out what cipachcoatzin looked like outside of the super stylized depiction - here he is!#also lacking any other ideas I've decided that's his name now. my classical nahuatl is So So So Beginner but I'm Trying#(cipactli [caiman] + glottal stop + coatl [snake] + tzin [honorific suffix]...#...or cipactli [caiman] + ton [diminutive suffix you might use for a kid])#haven't come up with a personal name for five deer yet but what with naming other characters they'll interact with my abilities Do run out#so that can be a work in progress#pretty pleased with how this turned out especially cipachcoatzin's little obsidian mirror-ornaments#the background and color scheme is Heavily based on luis covarrubias' 'view of the valley of mexico'#but maybe I can manage some more urban settings for them or the other characters in future pictures

sometimes I think a lot about aus that exist only in my head that Iāll probably never write. today Iām thinking about. AU where joe is a mostly normal human who just happens to have the weirdest supernatural luck. one day he accidentally stumbles through a fair circle while trying to dodge a debt collector on the way home from work, and catches the eye of two notorious fey, scar and cub. despite the fact heās otherwise a normal human, he also manages to get back out of the feywild, despite scar hunting him for sport and cub trying to entrap him.
cub and scar, fascinated by this, then start bothering him in the human world. scar is more the wild hunt kind of fae, cub is more the āentrap with trickery and wordplayā kind of fae. joe, being joe, keeps on escaping being got by either of them. however, also joe being joe, he slowly starts to actually befriend them. he starts having regular lunch dates with cub in which cub only barely bothers trying to entrap joe. he and scar end up basically playing tag. and scar and cub end up starting to feel the very strange sensation of starting to become slightly more human, thanks to proximity with joe so constantly. meanwhile, joeās own morality is becoming slightly more inhuman, as he spends so much time hanging out with cub and scar.
they form a weird equilibrium, right up until joe shows up to a lunch date in disarray. his only human friend, cleo, has gone missing while investigating a series of supernatural murders, and thereās someone after him, too. he doesnāt have the money or resources or anything to escape it. so, like, if he shows up dead, hey, at least heās probably found cleo? haha. sorry he knows you two are immortal but heās not but heād assumed he had like, at least another decade in him before dying tragically young and teaching cub and scar about death, changing the trajectory of their lives foreverā
cub steeples his fingers on the table, and heās both more straightforward and less than heās been in a long time with joe. and he asks joe: well, true, you alone donāt have the resources to fix this. but cub and scarātheyāre powerful in their own right. and right now, they donāt have enough jurisdiction over joe to actually help, especially if thereās another powerful supernatural entity killing things right now. but what they do have isā¦
hey, joe, cub knows itās been months since he last even bothered asking, but desperate times. how are you at contract negotiations? how would you like to sell yourself to the fae?
and things then go from there,
#anyway cleo manages to claw her way to undeath after her murder for the record and is an undead monster hunter#but our protagonists Donāt Know This Yet#if I didnāt ALREADY have a sprawling joe hills-based urban fantasy au thoughā¦

"In Washington D.C., a sophisticated sewage treatment plant is turning the capitalās waste into a form of capital: living capital that is fertilizing the gardens of farms of the Mid-Atlantic region and saving vast quantities of resources.
Described by the workersā there as a āresource recovery plant,ā D.C. Water run a biogas plant and high-quality fertilizer production in the course of their dirty duty to ensure the cityās waste finds a safe endpoint.
The nationās capital is exceptional at producing waste from the toilet bowls of the 2.2 million people who live, work, and commute through the city and its suburbs.
Reporting by Lina Zeldovich reveals that rather than trucking it all to a landfill, D.C. Water extract an awful lot of value from the capital crap, by looking at it as a resource to send through the worldās largest advanced wastewater treatment plant, which uses a āthermal hydrolysis processā in which it is sterilized, broken down, and shipped off for processing into āBloom,ā a nitrogen-rich, slow-release fertilizer product.Ā
The other āBlack Goldā
At their facility in southwest Washington, huge aeration tanks percolate the poo of everyone from tourists to the President. After itās all fed into enormous pressure cookers where, under the gravity of six earth atmospheres and 300Ā°F, the vast black sludge is rendered harmless.
Next this āBlack Gold,ā as Zeldovich described it, is pumped into massive bacterial-rich tanks where microbes breakdown large molecules like fats, proteins, and carbs into smaller components, shrinking the overall tonnage of sewage to 450 tons per day down from 1,100 at the start of the process.
This mass-micro-munching also produces methane, which when fed into an onsite turbine, generates a whopping 10 megawatts of green energy which can power 8,000 nearby homes. [Note: Natural gas (which is mostly methane) is definitely greener than coal and oil, but it still causes a significant amount of emissions and greenhouse gases.] The 450 tons of remaining waste from the D.C. feces are sent into another room where conveyor belts ring out excess fluid before feeding it through large rollers which squash it into small congregate chunks.
D.C. Water sends this to another company called Homestead Gardens for drying, aging, and packaging before itās sold as Bloom.
āI grow everything with it, squashes, tomatoes, eggplants,ā Bill Brower, one of the plantās engineers, tells Zeldovich. āEverything grows great and tastes great,ā he adds.
āAnd Iām not the only one who thinks so. Weāve heard from a lot of people that theyāve got the best response theyāve ever seen from the plants. Particularly with leafy greens because that nitrogen boost does well with leafy plants. And the plants seem to have fewer diseases and fewer pests aroundāprobably because Bloom helps build healthy soils.ā
While farms around the country are facing nutrient depletion in soils from over-farming, turning to synthetic fertilizers to make up the difference, introducing more such thermal hydrolysis plants could truly revolutionize the way humans look at their fecesāas a way of restoring the countryās soils rather than polluting them. As Mike Rowe would say, it only takes a person whoās willing to get their hands dirty."

Do any of you remember a Youtube video about Re:Kinder talking about how the game is seen and percieved by some people (mostly touching upon and arguing against how it has been treated insensitively as some sort of weird legend like "ooo disturbing game with a hidden truth behind it" due to it's creator being dead), as well as talking about the charm of the game (even mentioning it's art at some point) and sadness of the themes without spoiling anything at the same time?? I remember the video avoided saying any spoilers at all and only touched on the literal plot as the kids being stuck in a dire situation in the town with all the adults dead without really getting into the why (it didn't even say one of the kids themselves was the causeā as thus, spoiler free), other than that it just touched on the emotional side of it and vaguely mentioned some scenes.
i also remember at some point the later half (at the very least if not in all of it) of the video, music by Siinamota was playing in the background. Does anyone remember seeing a video like this?
I can't seem to find it anywhere and don't even remember the exact year I watched it.š It was the way I found out about this game a while ago, which eventually ended up in me playing it, and I really wish I could watch it again. I thought it was a deleted video by someone called hazel as it was mentioned by a lot of people, but I found that one and it isnt it.š I'm wondering if anyone remembers watching something along the lines of what im describing and knows if it's still up.
#re:kinder#not art#posting this because naw i am desperate ive been looking for this video for months#i genuinely thought it could be the hazel video but it wasnt and now im back at where i started...š#if its still up i cannot find it on youtube#but i wonder if anyone even recalls watching this at all because im worried my memory is playing with meš#itd be rather weird though because i do recall it very vividly. it struck with me in a way i managed to remember the game by name later on#looking back on my memory of it it was a really nice video. i do agree on what it said of how people seem to treat this game#the video was really trying to make people see and appreciate the game and the themes itself instead of the glorified urban legend idea ofi#because it is true that people treat it as some ādisturbing fun factā that someone died as if it was all his legacy wasš#i dont remember it being the high quality standard editing known of video essays nowadays#oh thats all i can say i dont recall much its been a while and i dont know how much a while is ...š#id be very happy to know if anyone can recognize anything at all. that video really got imprinted into my memory#it left me very emotional even as it didnt even tell me much about the game it still managed to express the feelings of it#ou shoutout to this video forever i love you thank you for informing me of this awesome game while letting me go blind#i was up for a ride#i wish i could see it again#really showed me one of the ending scenes and i had NO IDEA I HAD NO IDEA#oh my god what a good video i had no idea yet i was so devastated#thats all i can convey im not sure if saying āit made a deep emotional impression on meā is a good descriptor to find a video i cant find#i dont know if anyone who has seen it would have felt as emotional as i had but im not sure how else to put it

Yesterday I felt myself spiraling into an anxiety attack (I'm prone to them, but it's been several months since my last one) while I was at home with my kids. To stave it off until my hubby returned from work (just having him around calms me), I did two things:
Scrolled through @urban-trek-thru-middle-earth's blog for pictures of Karl Urban;
Re-read @scyllas-revenge's Eomer x OC fic, "Where I Am Needed Most".
Both things helped make me feel better!
Never underestimate the comfort your blog/writing/artwork can bring to someone struggling. Blorbos and the fanwork created for them are powerful support tools. You never know whom your fic/art/gifs/pics might be helping, so keep them coming!
So special thanks to UTTME and Scylla, who are the best at what they do. <3
And bless Karl Urban/Eomer, just for being distractingly amazing.

As the changing climate increasingly disrupts our ways of life, we have three choices: do nothing, attempt to stop or even reverse climate change, and/or figure out how to withstand it. Option one is a terrible idea and the ship has (mostly) sailed on option two. But option three is how we learn to liveāand maybe even thriveāin our changing world. Part of this is figuring out how to convey the information that climate researchers have gathered to the peopleālike farmers, water managers, and urban plannersāwho need to make decisions nowāabout things like what crops to plant, where to get water for everyone and how to allocate it, and where to plant treesāfor both the near and slightly distant future. In this episode, weāre talking to Professor Lisa Dilling, of the University of Colorado, Boulder, about building networks of people through which information about regional climate predictions can flow to people and information about the needs, predicaments, and questions of people can flow to climate researchers.

"You Really Saved Me.....and you're crying?! You must really like me", Krystle says jokingly, with a singed smile.
"Nah. I love you," Roger replies, planting a soft kiss on her cheek.

everybody i've told about this has been like huh, arboriculture? and then inevitably if we spend any time out hiking or just looking at trees within 20 minutes they've spontaneously gone oh yeah this actually makes perfect sense. i went on one (1) hike with my mom a few weeks ago and she said i should be a state park manager lmao.
#i keep forgetting that i've told almost no one about it bc i came to the realization after going on one (1) hike with the 23 year old#which on the surface is flimsy grounds for going to school for like. the third time#but i do think that i would be good at like. urban forestry stuff. i already do so much data management....#i just need to know the tree care bit! and i like trees...i like being out and around them especially in portland#idk we'll see. it feels like a possible future which is no small thing

She wore a foaming wave as a rain cape, a swirl of absorbing water. When the storm was done, she deposited the water in a safe place - an unblocked drain, a field, an existing waterway. Sometimes she threw it at a rude motorist who didnāt respect pedestrians.
