Görkem Şen is a Turkish musician who wanted to create the sounds of electronic music acoustically. His invention, the yaybahar, is a string instrument connected to drums via metal coils that creates a wide variety of otherworldly music.

Ooh, spooky, I like it! It sounds kind of like if a whale was a robot.

Why not embed the video though? This guy's got a teeny tiny little channel and this video has fewer than 4k views, and if this post blew up it would be pretty unfair to him, getting lots of watchtime on his work but without the cruel youtube algorithm gods knowing about it so they can recommend it to more people.

Tumblr is really weird when it comes to video. I've found that when they are embedded from an external source, having the giant Youtube logo over the thumbnail and then having to click through to watch means that significantly fewer people actually bother to look at it. Generally I embed them myself and then make sure to cite the source. Unfortunately tumblr doesn't always carry over source links in reblogs and I try to link somewhere physically in the description as well to offset that but sometimes I forget. Apologies, I want everyone to look at Mr Şen's channel!

i think this simply has to be the musical accompaniment for any red rising series, right as they suit up, just, this

A small PSA to all those new to dealing with the porn bots that Tumblr now has a fresh wave of – I understand that when you go to report them, you want to report them as "[containing] sexually explicit material", but don't do that. Report them as spam instead.

These are spam bots flooding tags and the website in general with spam links. They often do not have anything sexually explicit on their blog (although they often have implicit material). Plus, these two reports get very different results. Reporting explicit material gets the bot slapped behind an 18+ wall, so minors can't check if they're a bot or not. Reporting spam gets the bot taken down.

Remember, folks: when dealing with a bot, report spam, not smut!

One of the points of the IG Trilogy: The aftermath of a war to abolish slavery is bound to mess up all sorts of lives. The cause is still very much worth it, but it doesn't invalidate any of the pain those lives feel. At the same time, the past cannot be changed and it's the future we must make ourselves with our own hands.

The best thing about the Howlers is that they all have names that a non-binary person would pick for themself. Pebble, Clown, and Screwface all sound like they got mad at babynames.net and said “fuck it”

@jediwalkerw I couldn’t leave this in the comments:

[thehaemanthus]

one of my greatest talents is how much I can enjoy the Red Rising series and still find so much of it incomprehensible 

Those political machinations are great but don’t ask me what’s going down with Venus and Mercury and how the Rim and Obsidians are involved or not involved because I truly have forgotten

go to @darrowsrising for that lol

Do Golds have larger teeth or more teeth? Cause they have bigger skulls

[auros-raa]

logically i would say larger bc that’s how the rest of their bodies work, higher bone density, al that jazz. they’re just... sized up.

however, the image of sevro with like, ROWS of shark like teeth.... i love it.

[hoe-for-ares]

Sevro: Maybe you weren't a great father.

Fitchner:

Fitchner: ... but?

Sevro: No, that's it.

[hestoleyourhorcrux-deactivated2]

Fitchner: Except for that idiot, Priam. Yeah. There’s a lesson for you lot. He was a brilliant boy—beautiful, strong, fast, a genius who studied day and night with a dozen tutors. But he was pampered. And someone, I won’t say who, because that’d undermine the fun of this whole curriculum, but someone knocked him down onto the stone and then stomped on his trachea till he died.

Also Fitchner but inner voice: AYEE! MY BOOOY!

[auros-raa]

you ever wonder what Fitchner made sevro do to prepare for the Institute?

did sevro know what he was getting into?

i know fitch and sev had a complex relationship of both of them caring about each other but not wanting the other to die but also they weren’t exactly close either.

[darrowsrising]

The only smol™️ and adorable af™️ human characters in the Red Rising series are Sevro au Barca and Volga Fjorgan. Maybe it's the high bodycount, but they surely do know how to put 'cute' in 'execute'. 🥺💖🥺💖🥺
