I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.

If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.

If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we’d never come up with those ears.

If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn’t know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.

We wouldn’t know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.

My point here is that we don’t know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they’d been all around us the whole time.

GOOD MORNING TWST NATION HOW ARE WE DOING

[thatweebnooneknows]

back at it again with the extremely self-indulgent diafams! I am being emotionally supported by overly-cutesy interactions between anime characters right now, don't judge me.

(also continuing with my headcanons that 1) mustache Bauru, and 2) he'll be hugely tsundere about it but you can, ultimately, convince him to do just about anything via careful application of Sebek.)

one of the best fics i've ever read, one that had me addicted to my phone and crying, wasn't even prose. it was a huge, casual, bullet-pointed outline with every detail of an au that the author never got around to writing in full. and it was amazing.

let this be a message to all you who want to write but can't do it "normally": write it! someone out there will eat it up. whether that be poetry, tiny drabbles, or bullet pointed list: your work is always worth it. your art (yes, art!) will alway deserve to have its moment in the spotlight. why? because you made it. even if it wasn't done in a traditional matter, it came from your brain and your creativity and that is amazing.

Alright, three days and I have the Jesse designs ready!

I wanted to give all of them more distinct designs than just “suspenders” and “hair-clip” colour to distinguish them, so.

I gave each of them a nickname based on color and tried to differentiate their looks!

Red suspenders “Scarlet” and Golden/Orange hair-clip “Topaz”

These were the hardest I think, cause their look is just so plain and basic…so I added a wee bit of

✨✨flare✨✨

Green suspenders “Jade” and Red hair-clip “Ruby”

The good ones, the classic, the (possibly) favourite Jesse’s? I wanted to give her a pony-tail, so. Pony-tail.

And male Jesse seems like the guy who likes to be comfy, so, jumper!

Pink suspenders “Spinel” and Pink hair-clip “Peach” Jesse!

They were the clearly “Asian” looking ones- it was SO hard to give them a normal looking skin tone because the Minecraft models look YELLOW and it was so bad.

So yeah, I do kinda like their designs, and I’m a fan of giving Peach the Hairpin instead of hairclip- and changing the suspenders to a sort of hanfu looking top instead.

Blue suspenders “Navy” and Purple hair-clip “Peri” Jesse

I do love their designs. They were the ones (especially Navy) who just looked the most like they came out straight of the 30-40s. So I got em some good ol’ vintage fashion look, inspired by some outfits I saved when I was doing costume research for the 30s to 50s eras.

Also I gave Navy glasses cause he looks like the type to be a smartass.

Salmon suspenders “Cider” and Yellow hair-clip “Sunny” Jesse.

I love them, and they were a bit Korean-inspired, while Peach and Spinel were more on the Chinese side. I do quite like how their shoes and trouser came out.

Yellow suspenders “Rooney” (from Macaroon) and Blue hair-clip “Lapis” Jesse

I really like them, I feel like they would both be such cheerful and lovely characters. Also, Butterfly hair-clip for Lapis, yes.

i think my favorite thing about the admins is how: while it's ambiguous how they exactly got their power, its very clear it corrupts the individual to some extent and turns them into a sort of caricature of themselves over time. yes, power corrupts, but seeing how drastically romeo acts compared to his human form, i do think there could be something going on there.

i'm aware there's some issues with the writing of s2, mainly because they were struggling with bankruptcy at the time, but man... man its crazy...

like xara, prior to the admin stuff, could have been a really nice person who had a hard time interacting with others and expressing her feelings, frequently getting frustrated at things, but had her friends to help her through it. the admin powers could have caused her over-protectiveness and arrogance to go into overdrive, making her less of a "people person" as she mentioned in chapter 3.

fred is a bit of a hard one; we never hear of him directly, because he isn't alive anymore. whenever we do hear of him, he's told through an idealized memory or through a medium where there's a degree of separation. he's the only admin we don't actually see the human version of, and the only time we meet him "in person" is when romeo transformed into him during the final battle in a modified version of their cabin.

fred strikes me as someone who has a hard time talking about how he truly feels, and he does something because he has to and not because he wants to. and someone who frequently frets abotu how someone sees them. i feel like the fact we only see him through a secondary mouth adds to this. he was so secretive at times, that any information he gave out had to be catalogued by his friends so they wouldn't forget.

due to how tired he sounded when he was recording the message meant for xara, it could have been he knew he was walking into his death; but he also knew that there was no other way this could go, and that of all people, he felt like he had to do it.

like again... its bringing out your worst qualities over time. its turning innocent qualities, like wanting to be with your friends all the time, being a little nervous around others, having a hard time interacting with people without getting frustrated, into very selfish qualities. idk its just interesting

And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.
