Hello! You can call me Arson, Shroom, or Ollie! I use all pronouns (agender/non-binary) and I'm probably aroace. Alsooo I'm a minor by most definitions <3
I don't have a tag for all my posts, if you want to see what my actual, like... original posts are, just search fandom tags :]
Fandoms (loosely ordered by level of recent interest)
Hazbin Hotel
Project Hail Mary (book and film both)
TADC
Stranger Things
The Mechanisms!!
At The Crossroads Don't Turn Left (ARG) (sfawtde and dawtde both)
The Magnus Archives + Protocol (tag: #arson's magnus protocol live reaction)

Percy Jackson (inconsistently tagged)
Firefly (2002)
Marauders
Nimona
Kpop Demon Hunters
The Inheritance Games (and related series)
And a lot of others. Please ask me about them, I love sharing my obsessions!!!!
This blog is not spoiler-free for pretty much anything, I do try to tag original posts with spoilers though. I do not vibe with reblog bait, will tag any for #reblog bait and #reblog game according to genre.
This is my demigod headcanon series post list! It's a list of Percy Jackson related headcanons :D
Yes I do post about the marauders, no I do not support JKR. I will often reblog hermitshipping/trafficshipping, this is only about the characters, absolutely not the creators. Still, if that's something that bothers you, consider this your warning :]
I'm a minor (by most definitions) and also asexual so I'm not into NSFW or anything of that vibe. With that being said, you might stumble upon suggestive stuff I reblog, which is usually tagged as such.
Also:
I tend to spam reblog a lot of stuff, especially art, so expect inconsistent posting and a lot of fandom-specific reblogs!!
Inactive side blog is @arson-has-trinkets
I got the star divider from this post

I probably won't answer donation asks, sorry. Here is more info if you are curious why <3
Have a good day because idk what else to put here :]
Blog decoration matches Astra @equippedtolove and Trix @professor-geen-berries (I think this is outdated now but I don't care)
lmk if you want to know where I got the images I used, lmk if I used an image of yours and you want me to credit or take it down
Ways people measured secret family recipes using relative measurements before standardization:
Time by prayer (stir for three Our Father's)
Time by kitchen or cleaning song (let rest for one mother goose)
Time by chore (bake while hanging one basket of laundry)
Measure by body part (one thumb of ginger, minced; a bunch the size of wrist; a pinky length of cinnamon, shaved; an onion the size of a fist; one palm's scoop of flour to two cupped hands of water)
Measure by pour distance (steady pour oil from the family decanter at an even pour from navel to head or approximately five seconds)
By plant parts (cloves of garlic, leaves, sprigs, etc.)
An heirloom "measuring" cup ratio (1:2 flour to water for pasta/pierogi dough that refers to the blue glass cup, no one knows where it came from; or must be measured in grandma's old tin bowl, no one has found a similar sized replacement)
Final yields by family dishes (makes one glass dish or two ceramics; makes three tins, casserole dish—is that a 9x13 or other size? You won't know until it fits or overflows!)
There's something so romantic and nostalgic about it and I just whipped up an old family recipe without a single thought for measuring while my fiancé, a scientist, said he understands why we never make food together 😅
How do you know when it's done? You smell it, is so true. You poke it, you jiggle it, you stir it, you taste it (and if you're fancy or traumatized, you stick the thermometer into it ☺️).
another heavy handed symbolism moment: my mom has a potted sunflower in the kitchen. because it is a sunflower, it keeps turning towards the light from the window. my mother keeps rotating it so it faces inward because she wants "to see its beautiful petals and have it really brighten up the space!" . the sunflower is visibly wilting .
Erid is a very big planet, very very very big planet, twice the size of earth in fact- and divided by oceans, perfect conditions for populations to remain and develop separately and for long enough to create diferent species. So, unlike us, Eridians are a Polytypic genus: there's more than one species of sapient eridian, All of them sharing a common ancestor in the form of a small, 5 legged ambush-hunter land carnivore, all share common traits taking only slightly different evolutionary paths
Divers- get their name from living in semi-flooded caves, their high small vents allow them to be partially submerged without drowning and their long arms allow them to grip things easily underwater, similar to a sea-horse tail
Climbers- similarly, they get their name from their living enviroment, living in very high caves, their long thin arms allow them to grip and climb very steep rock walls, kinda like goats in a way
Drills and Stompers get their name from the shape of their arms, they both developed closer to the surface compared to the others, their arms are like that for dealing with sandstorms, while Drills "drill" themselfs in place, Stompers use their body weight to keep themselfs down
Blocks are very similar to Stompers, but they live in caves much deeper down, so they're quite compact
Common traits between all species: all Eridians can thrum, all Eridians organize in "colonies" like ants or termites (tho the specifics of how each colony works varies), all Eridians are True Carnivores(can only eat meat) and all Eridians are unisex
In theory any one eridian can procreate with any other eridian, between the 5 species there are 4 fertile hybrids and 3 infertile hybrids posible
note: tho each species has a more broad vague shared culture between themselves, none of them are a monolith, all of them have vastly different culture, language, texture, practices and even phenotypes between different colonies around the world
note 2: the fact humans are a monotypic species (there is only one in our genus) is really fucking weird to them
hey kitten. daddy needs to talk to you. your kink blog is great, but you are not highlighting the words correctly. kitten. stop highlighting. this is shit. did you seriously highlight that period. kitten.
I think trying to make a movie out of The Odyssey (not the story of Odysseus, but The Odyssey as in the poem) is a bit of a doomed endeavour as the structure of The Odyssey simply does not jive with the structure of the Hollywood movie
I think you COULD make a good movie out of the odyssey but would need to engage w the fact that it's a work which veers back and forth between fantasy and realism; that it's a story told out of chronogical order; and also that it is a Trickster Hero story first and foremost. It is perhaps best done as a comedy but with the occasional shocking swerve into graphic violence.
The Odyssey should be a musical but ☝️only some of the time. When Odysseus is narrating? Musical. Penelope and Telemachus on Ithaca? 🙅♀️
Odysseus can break the fourth wall during the parts where he's narrating.
Movie opens with Odysseus inside Charybdis, whirling around and around clinging to a tiny raft and screaming. *Freeze frame* yeah, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.
#but more to the point of the original post: i wish moviegoing audiences were more skeptical of the ability of Hollywood#to adapt any and everything#like. i still think about how jeff smith's bone has floated around in development hell over several different iterations for DECADES#and like. HONESTLY? good. it doesnt need to be anything other than a comic.
this is a bit tangential but. yeah. it is straight up hollywood propaganda i think. everything must eventually become a hollywood movie. books must become hollywood movies. comics must become hollywood movies. successful movies from other countries must become hollywood movies. & ur mainstream hollywood movie is a pretty narrow category of what a movie can be.
“we live in an uncaring universe” yeah dude and I live in an uncaring house. and I shit in an uncaring toilet. but do you touch an uncaring lover? do you comfort an uncaring child? do you guide to sleep each night a cold and uncaring self?
