im really conflicted on monster hunter franchise
on the one hand fighting giant creatured with giant weapons is cool and epic as hell, on the other hand i dont want to hurt such beautifull creatures
wow. that is an incredibly stark contrast to the overwhelmingly colonial vibes i got from world.
There is an old belief in Serbian villages and small towns that certain pumpkins (and watermelons), when left outside during a full moon, will turn in to a vampire.
Happy Halloween, everyone!

I know that Peter’s Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy technically has flaws but also….it doesn’t. It’s perfect.
‘Are these magic cloaks?’ asked Pippin, looking at them. with wonder.
‘I do not know what you mean by that,’ answered the leader of the Elves. ‘They are fair garments, and the web is good, for it was made in this land. They are Elvish robes certainly, if that is what you mean. Leaf and branch, water and stone: they have the hue and beauty of all these things under the twilight of Lorien that we love; for we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make.”
- Fellowship of the Ring, Chapter 8: Farewell to Lorien
This is how I think of Jackson’s movies. Yes, there are serious flaws - Gandalf’s de-powering, Gimli as comic relief, and Faramir, namely - but come on.
Remember when the guys making their chain mail invented a new method for quickly producing large amounts of it by hand? Remember Miranda Otto walking down the street, practicing sword positions? The guys who forged all of the swords - for leads and for extras? The men and women riders who volunteered to be riders of Rohan? The costume designers who designed the inside of Theoden’s armor (which no one would ever see) so beautifully that Bernard Hill said he felt like a king? The friendships between the cast, and their size doubles, and the stuntmen?
When they made that movie, they put all that they loved into all that they made.
#just hundreds of people who went ‘sure let me try this’ #and they made something breathtaking #and then they made it 12 more times in different sizes ( @byjoveimbeinghumble )
Wait tell me more about that chainmail thing
“Kaynemaile has worked tirelessly to perfect the material science behind beautiful architectural mesh, collaborating with architects and designers on projects that embolden urban environments with positive buildings. The company’s patented polycarbonate mesh, inspired by 2,000-year-old medieval chainmail, was initially created for the armor and weapons seen in the The Lord of The Rings movie trilogy and is now used on major architectural projects around the world.
“The film’s art director and Kaynemaile’s founder Kayne Horsham worked with his team to construct each garment from plastic plumbing tubes, coating them in pure silver. Once filming wrapped, Horsham dedicated himself to creating a change to the liquid state assembly process to mass produce the polycarbonate chainmail for architectural applications — products that were light, but strong enough to protect the interior or exterior of a building. Now an industry-leading manufacturer, Kaynemaile produces mesh for everything from small interior screens to large scale exterior façades. Their mesh is easy to install and can be custom created for specialized applications.”

Kaynemaile's patented mesh façade systems are incredibly lightweight and easy to install while bringing a bold look to any scale building.
YOU GUYS
they took forced perspective and scaled sets to a new level by adding moving set pieces to create the illusion that the hobbits and dwarves were much smaller than everyone else even when the camera moved.
every scene you see in the 11+ hours of glory that is the LOTR masterpiece is most like ridiculously elaborate or expensive–from model towers to the all-new motion capture technology used for gollum to the costumes and sets to the aerial on location shots of mother-fracking new zealand and the big impressive battle scenes and horse charges.
but then the story and the screenplay too–there is just SO much lore that is there in the background lurking if you want to look for it, yet it still remains simplified for the average viewer. Crazy impressive feat.
And the acting is heartfelt and real and makes you love the characters.

Horny and insane displays of lesbianism
Reading about how intersex athletes have been treated is so fucking horrible. The countless lies and human rights violations. The discrimination and how it's ruined the lives of so many people is so awful. There has been no apologies from any athletics comptetions or organizations. They have blood on their hands. Just a tw for intersexism and mental health issues and suicide in the next paragraph because it can get pretty heavy.
Annet Negesa, who was a middle distance runner. She was suddenly barred from competing due to her hormones. No one told her why. She was then told she needed to take medication to lower her testosterone, then what she was told was switched. She was lied to about a surgery that she was told was like an injection and would let her compete again. She woke up with scars and had had a gonadectomy. That violation of basic human rights and medical ethics combined with inadequate postsurgical care basically ended her career. She deserves justice. She deserves apologies from the Olympics and everyone single doctor who was involved in it, and compensation and the promise that it should never have happened and will never happen again. She. Needs. Justice.
Pratima Gaonkar needs justice. She was a rising track and field star. After forced sex verificatiom she killed herself. The way media and news treated her after her death was disgusting. She deserves and needs justice. Her family deserves justice.
Santhi Soundarajan had her medals stripped and was treated as an outcast after forced sex verification showed she had androgen insensitivity syndrome. She was treated as an outcast, her gender was mocked. She's spoken out about how much discrimination she's faced, and how badly she's been treated. She now works as a coach, but was barred from competing. She deserves justice.
Caster Semenya deserves justice. Francine Niyonsaba deserves justice. Margaret Wambui deserves justice. Barbra Banda deserves justice. Beatrice Masilingi and Christine Mboma deserve justice.
The racism and intersexism and horrible human rights violations and medical abuse these women have faced for the supposed crime of being intersex and good at a sport is horrible. They deserve justice, but the organizations that perpetuate these atrocities don't seem to care. It's so fucking horrible.
Hey. HEY. Everyone listen up.
There is a common thread besides intersexism here, too. They are all people of colour. Take note.
The IOC doesn't just have a biology problem.
obligations, guilt, and the inherent catharsis of saying fuck
Join the monster gamble, but look out for cheaters hiding their hands (and themselves) under the desk! - and other spooky arts I drew this year >:) Most of the arts are taking place in Heather's world, with occasional Mari Lwyd crossover The last art is another awkward monster art and you can find the backstory here Previous spooky & Heather's world art post is here (you can see some recurring characters throughout the art) More Mari Lwyd is here
WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT
YOU COULD BE A FUCKING BADASS DRAGON THAT’S THE POINT
“I AM A CREATURE OF DARKNESS” “oh hey sabrina.”
I guess the point is that you could shapeshift into the body you always thought you’d grow into when you were a kid
taller, shorter, slimmer, more muscular, purple hair, tattoos everywhere, tattoos nowhere,
every single shoe would fit you every single time you tried it on, every single article of clothing would fit your perfectly, all you have to do is transform slightly, you’d never run out of ‘your size’ again
and you wouldn’t have to work for it at all, and you’d never be limitted by your bone structure or something. You could just transform at will.
I don’t see how this is much of a downside
When you turn into a sixty story tentacle demon and terrorize a city you want to get the credit you deserve
Oh man that would be so sweet. I could be an annoying fuck as an insect or something but you couldn’t kill me because everyone would know
That’s great but have you considered

imagine being at work minding your business and then suddenly you look out the window and see like a 50ft tall flamingo and then someone just says “oh, yeah, that’s just pete, he does this sometimes, don’t worry”
“BRB, gonna be a cat-sized dragon for a few hours. Might come home a foot taller with mood tattoos.”
“Don’t antagonize the fae.”
“I AM the fae, Susan.”
Also, consider— people will know it’s you, but it doesn’t say they’ll know what you are. “So is Pete a 50 foot flamingo who changes into a man, or the other way around?” “We.. we don’t know. Barbara asked him once, but he just grinned. She said they weren’t the teeth of a human OR flamingo and she didn’t want to talk about it.”
Iconic post
LEMME BE A DRAGON I DONT CARE IF YOU KNOW ITS ME
I’ve seriously only seen screenshots of this post before though
This is legendary
“I AM HERE FOR YOUR SOULS”
“George, did you forget your coffee?”
ok but like the only difference here is if you dont press it you cant shapeshift. theres no loss in pressing it
Look I can’t shapeshift now, at least after I’ll be able to shapeshift
@hellsite-hall-of-fame
So I posted these two images that I made in a post together just shy of a year ago, and the post got 10,000+ notes. Today I saw a meme with a text convo of someone sending one of them to a military recruiter (which is extremely funny) and I thought “oh I should find that post again”
but when I went to find it, it had completely vanished. not just the original post, but even reblogs of it. I couldn’t even find screenshots anyone had taken of the original post. it wasn’t brought to my attention as a reported post, tumblr never even contacted me about deleting it, it just… disappeared
really gets the noggin joggin
so that’s the line huh tumblr. that old post just went too far and you had to poof it.
Reblog to remember the post before it gets deleted again

Tama is boss
THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM
Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Beautiful.
Now I’m crying thanks
and a new cat was hired right?
yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy
she works very hard
Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.
I’m crying at 11pm over train cats
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016). There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama
Yontama.
a legacy
okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back
“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]
As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.
Every time I see this post there’s new info and it gets better
You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.
The shrine of Tama Daimyōjin (Great gracious deity Tama), next to the Kishi station where she worked.
Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama Daimyōjin on the anniversary of Tama’s Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus can’t hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)
you cannot pass without reblogging guys. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.
You can’t not reblog a goddess. It’s just what’s so. :)
So, fun fact- the manga Noragami has an arc where the main character, Yato (a minor kami/God that is down on his luck but trying to make it big time) goes to a council/conference for all the Gods in Japan.
And they are announcing the winner of the “up and coming god” award, and of course, Yato thinks it’s him.
But no-
ITS TAMA!
Always reblogging this.
Tama is the best new god. She is good and helpful and beloved. Always reblog this magnificent goddess.
All the time. Always a pleasure to acknowledge a hard-working deity. 😀
Do you think in the omegaverse there’s a new, awful layer to “the talk” that teens get
I don’t know much about the omegaverse. Do you learn when you’re an alpha omega or beta during puberty. Are there kids who get horrible sex Ed and have a shitload of misconceptions about how all this stuff works . Are there omegas who never got the proper education and think they’re alphas for some reason for an embarrassingly long time until someone picks up their scent and is like “hey I can smell you” and they’re like fucking excuse me I thought I was just a guy who had the knot version of ED and you’re telling me I should have been bottoming this whole time??
I have so many questions about the logistics of what people do (outside the obvious) when they go into heat or rut. Do they just stay home from work? Do you have to call your boss all hot and heavy like “I cannot do my job as an accountant today. Too horny. Not possible.” And your boss has to sit there like yeah sure alright see you when you’re done. Do you think people have faked heats and ruts in order to get out of work. Do you think there’s some slacker out there who “goes into heat” three times in a month just so he can stay home and play legend of Zelda. He’s a beta. He doesn’t go into heat.
What do two alphas do if they fall in love. Like romantically, they really like each other, they want to spend their lives together, they can’t imagine being with anyone else. What do they do. Do they take turns. Can the alpha that’s on the bottom have their knot pop when it’s not inside anything and they just have a swollen dick for a little while ?
Do some peoples heat cycles sync up like periods. PLEASE tell me that there are groups of friends that all get ravenously horny at the same time and will call each other up like “GIRL… GUESS WHOS NESTING…” and they’ll all be like “OMG BITCH ME TOO!!”
Do you think some alphas make it a job out of fucking omegas that don’t have a partner. Like food delivery but for dick. Just put your address in the app and a stud will show up at your door like. Hey mamas let’s breed. Do you think that’s a viable career option in this world. Do you think you could tell your parents that’s the job that you have over dinner. Or is that not the kind of thing you would discuss in polite company. Or would it be disrespected and not looked super proudly upon because it’s like doordash .
Do you think a common fantasy a la chastity play and denial amongst omegas is being forced to take heat suppressants . Don’t get mad at me for asking the real questions here
Honestly the omegaverse sounds kind of like a utopian free love society where people are very upfront about sex and sexuality ngl.
Ok but as an avid reader of omegaverse all of this has been written about 💀
It’s kind of embarrassing i can give people full, clear, and concise answers for all of these.
alright then lets hear them answers
Sigh okay…
First of all: omegas can top and alphas can bottom. Alphas can bottom for omegas too. Generally during heats omegas prefer to be penetrated and alphas to penetrate but they can just use toys. Alpha ≠ top. Omega ≠ bottom.
With that outta the way here we go.
In most concepts of omegaverse you “present” as your secondary sex during puberty, however some writers may decide to make secondary sex something people are aware of from birth/ very young. Usually the second one ties heavily in soulmate or destined mate* concepts, but the former can as well. You’ll find a lot of stories that show finding out you’re an alpha or omega (or beta) through a national blood/pheromone test at a certain age, or multiple times during life as test results can change slightly over time, in these stories being an alpha or omega doesnt do much until you fully “present” during puberty.
Depending on the level of education in an individual story yes there can be garbage sex ed that tells you almost nothing of what to expect and how to deal with it. These concepts usually relate to omegas that don’t bother to read their “test” results abt their gender and believe they’re an alpha until they suddenly go into heat, or their test results were inaccurate all along. They also relate to stories that portray omegas as “lower class” or simply sex objects. Bad sex ed stories usually include challenging stereotypes as a main focus.
Usually in omegaverse omegas are undesirable to hire due to heats being more frequent than alpha ruts, and thus more disruptive. so they lie about being an omega to get hired, and then either pump themselves full of heat suppressing medication, or call in sick every time. In stories where omegas are treated fairly they just call in normally lol. They keep track of their heats and they work with their job to get time off periodically for it, unless triggered by an alpha’s rut or pheromones, heats are pretty consistent unless they have some sort of condition that makes them irregular. Prostitution is a very common theme in omegaverse due to omega’s not being able to get hired at “normal” jobs and societal pressures.
I imagine workplaces will require a doctors note or something to prove irregular heats etc if someone was abusing the “call out for heat” option. But omegas will often call out a day or so before their heat just to prepare better.
Some betas do pretend to be alphas or omegas to get further in life or to fuck more people. Its seen as sleazy and manipulative.
Alpha/alpha relationships depend on how the author wants to write the concepts of their society or biological instincts. Usually alpha relationships include a lot of domination and sexual fighting with the winner of the fight being the one to top (if they dont already have a dynamic that suits them) switching is common with both alpha and omega same sex relationships. In omegaverse these dynamics are either seen as normal or are extremely frowned upon. Usually they are kept secret to avoid conflict.
Sometimes if an alpha gets extremely aroused they can pop a knot without being inside something, this is common during puberty the same way boners are in teens. Its usually super uncomfortable and sensitive and legit physically cannot go away for at least ten minutes.
Heat cycles do sync. So do rut cycles. Heat and ruts can sync too. Not all omegaverse omegas nest but yeah they do have gc with friends lol.
Yes alphas make it a Job to help with heats. They’re called “heat aids.” In some omegaverse friends help each other through heats too, be it by just being around or sexually. Its usually seen as like kind of embarrassing to hire a heat aid cus it means you have no one else close to you or a bf/gf to stay with you to get you thru it. But its considered “normal” to hire one.
I havent seen a forced to take suppressants as a kink story but some stories have omegas fantasising about being confined to houses or rooms and used only to make babies (they call them “pups” pretty often).
All in all omegaverse is an EXTREMELY varied story device and no one has clear ideas for it, but yeah basically everything op said is a thing.
* A destined mate is someone so compatible with you or your pheromones that you’re considered “soulmates.” Some concepts have this being a supernatural thing, while most keep it to being a pheromone/biological thing.
What, you dont like my comprehensive 11 paragraph tumblr response about omegaverse?
Originally typed this in tags and then decided it’d be better on the post itself, where I can add paragraph breaks:
#omegaverse reflects a lot of real world issues by magnifying them 100x #mostly for kink reasons but also for commentary
#omegas (women) being used as breeding stock; undesirable for/not allowed in the workforce; smaller and weaker and receptive #bad sex ed. heat suppressants/birth control. realizing at puberty that your place in society is not always a great one #it allows a framework in which you can place these struggles on male characters as well #or free female characters from them
#but it also caricaturizes maleness #alphas (men) as aggressive; dominant; socially prioritized; seen as either leaders or brutes with not much in between
#and you can play with all the gender fuckery all of that entails #it's like camp or drag; gender performance exaggerated to the point of absurdity that then asks you to engage with it anyway
#you can also turn a same gender (M/M of F/F) couple into one that occupies a ‘straight’ societal role (A/O) #which might be healing for some or grotesque for others (and strangely intriguing either way) #or make it queer by ABO standards too (A/A or O/O or throw a beta in there somewhere) and go wild with it
#heats/ruts give space for very free and intense desire with a lack of inhibitions #which is something we don't normally allow ourselves to feel without criticizing ourselves #so it's a space to see and experience that within the safety of fiction #it's a thing you see with dubcon/noncon fantasies too (emphasis: Fantasies.) #if you weren't in control of what happened then you can't be blamed for it and you don't have to feel guilt/shame about the pleasure you felt; you can just allow yourself to feel it #again: not talking about real life here
#so as a framework ABO magnifies our cultural hangups and amplifies them until they're impossible to ignore #and then says: now what?
#and the answer comes back every time: fuck nasty style about it
Baffled by the startled dinosaur reaction. Why wouldn't omegaverse authors have addressed these things. That's half the point of creating a new biological/social framework; to explore it. To use it as an abstraction for exploring real problems. To poke at the edges and see how the world works. What else would Omegaverse fic be about? The entire genre can't just be ALL disconnected sex scenes.
I don't really care for sex scenes so I don't seek out omegaverse stuff (since it does also tend to have a lot of sex), but the ones I've read have been excellent analyses of social inequality and how it ties into biology both in reality and in terms of cultural myth (that is, using gender essentialism/stereotypes of difference as an excuse for oppression). Is this not the entire point of the genre?
Sorry to get up in arms in this but I'm so tired of the assumption that Whatever The Silly Horny Women Like must automatically have no depth. The Beatles were an important band. Romance is a valid genre. Mobile games are real computer games. A/B/O analyses social issues and has deep worldbuilding. Why must we do this again every generation.
Not aimed at OP, who I'm sure was legitimately asking real questions, but some of the people acting surprised that these questions have answers are pissing me off. There's comments in the notes like "if the genre actually addressed these questions then I'd read it!" Well you didn't look very hard, did you? Because it does address these questions. Regularly. It's a significant focus of the genre and even I, largely an outsider, know that. You just assumed, clearly without looking at all, that the entire genre must be nonsense porn without plot and with no connective tissue. Why? Why did you assume that?
Every. Fucking. Generation. I don't even care about a/b/o. I don't even care about The Beatles or the romance genre or mobile games. But I thought we were over this. I'm so tired.
