Can you please reblog if your blog is a safe place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, aromantic, pansexual, non binary, demisexual or any other kind of queer or questioning people? Because mine is.
Pansexual heteroromantic aegosexual 43yo gender agnostic ciswoman (any pronouns) with a multitude of people with different experiences living in her head (aka a writer).
Iâm pretty much just bigoted against bigots.
Can I get some help with training impressionable underdeveloped humans?
So, you always get toddlers that - pick up words from home.
The go-to approach I learned from another teacher is to deliberately mishear the word and pivot hard to that.
âYou want to go to the beach?? I love the beach! I love the sun, and the sand, and the water! Do you go to the beach with your family?â
âYour mommy wants fudge? I love chocolate! Does she give you treats?â
But we have a sweetheart from a mixed family with older siblings who - from their tone of voice, I think interprets it like âHey, Buddy!â except - the term of group recognition I as a pasty European am not part of.
And the other mixed-race kid weâre already doing âbeachâ and âfudgeâ with will literally get into your face and say, fortunately in the positive tone.
(unlike âbeach,â that is very clearly a word they know you say when you are mad and they say when they are mad)
AnywayâŚ
Both sets of parents understand, and the originating family is working on trying to extinguish by not having that word used in the home anymore.
But what can we do to keep any of the other little Monkey Hear, Monkey Say picking it up until then???
âmy father is a boy and my mother is a girl so iâm mixedâ is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6â5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat
Hordak, after season 5: Now that Prime is gone, I can admit I was only ruling the Fright Zone out of necessity for him. I hate being in charge. Scorpia shall get her land back and I never wish to be in a seat of power again. No leadership sounds great actually, does it not? I can finally just be an average citizen out of the eyes of kingdoms.
Entrapta, fully intending on marrying him and turning him into the Prince of Drylâan even higher position than he had before: Yeah uhm so yeah about that.
Yeah, Prince of Dryl is pretty literally just a nice way of saying âTrophy Boy Toy.â
And of the pair, which do you think would actually commit any time towards actual politics?
If only out of a sense of obligation and vague concern for othersâ wellfare?
(Remember: Out of Hordak and Entrapta, we only have suggestion that one had been able to keep another biological entity alive under direct care. One.)
(I go with the headcanon that Entrapta forgets Imp needs to eat and drink at regular intervals. Mostly because she forgets she needs to.)
(Praise the stars Imp knows how to forage.)
(And by that I mean steal food from others.)
At some point, Iâm really going to make the shirt idea Iâve had since forever.
On the front, itâs a set of footprints that seem to just start from the middle of the shirt (at approximate waist) and proceed towards the left side (so read left to right itâs âfootprints start then go to edge of shirt).
The trick is, itâs a full printing, and the footprints go across the left side and to the back.
The footprints go in a straight line across the back, to the point where you canât see the printing from the front.
At the small of the back, which the footprints pass, is a sign that reads:
The point of caring.
She-Ra characters as things Iâve said
(Extremely out of context)
Adora: âI just need to never mess up again and also be perfect. Then itâll all work out.â
Glimmer: âI'm assuming this is edible glitter...doesn't taste particularly edible, though.â
Bow: âWith the power of friendship, believing in yourself, and pure idioticity you can do anything.â
Mermista: âExhaustion is a currency and I, a millionaire.â
Sea Hawk: âIs it getting hot in here or is it just the arson?â
Perfuma: âCounter-argument: Letâs just not.â
Frosta: âYour honor, itâs called ATTEMPTED murder, heâs fine!â
Entrapta: âDarn ethics, always getting in the way of my experiments.â
Scorpia: âI think the âwell oiled machineâ may need some therapy.â
Catra: âI will get emotional, and by emotional, I mean physically aggressive.â
Kyle: âEverythingâs horrid and Iâm sad :(â
Hordak: âI will be suing myself for emotional damages.â
Horde Prime: âWant a lobotomy? I know a guy.â
Wrong Hordak: âSometimes everybody knows things and I donât.â
Imp: âDonât test me, I am the perfect height to bite your shins.â
Razz: âI am at that beautiful point between the line of sanity and death.â
Should I do P2? I donât think you comprehend the sheer length of my quotes list.
Yes, Part 2.
And I feel the Hordak quote.
And the Razz quite.
Sadly, Iâm 5â10â, and cannot be my beloved demonspawn.
I go for the throat. đ
Hordak, to Imp and Wrong Hordak: Okay, I am serious. I will not have fights with strangers anymore, I do not care how mean the other person was being. Let me speak to them. Our family already has a bad reputation, and we do not want to enforce that, understood?
Wrong Hordak: What if someone insults Mama?
Imp: Yeah, what then? Can I bite them?
Hordak:
Hordak: They say never let the police find the body but I disagree. Never let them STOP finding the body. Make the authorities beg that this is the last piece for the next twenty seven years, and even then they will toss and turn at night wondering if there is more. And make sure to be suspicious enough that the public KNOWS it was you but ensure there is no evidence so it cannot be proved. That way you send the message without the jail time.
Wrong Hordak: I was more asking for permission to punch someoneâ
Imp: SIR YES SIR.
âŚ..
Starchild, who hurt you???
And can I take notes?
(if you ever need to smile, just imagine the Dryl royal family visiting the Addams. or vice versa. they are the bestest of best friends.)
Entrapdak is two people who are constantly used for what they can do and offered very conditional love providing that they do what helps the people that âcare about themâ and not who they are, realizing that the other isnât like that. They love each other when they have nothing to offer but themselves.
Hordak didnât have memories or any service to provide that any other clone couldnât, but Entrapta still looked for him and reassured him he had a place beside her
Entrapta had no tech to fix or meaningful help to give but Hordak still refused to shoot her and turned on all heâd ever known for her
Neither of them had comprehended up to those points that anyone could want them for more than what they could provide. And it only makes their bond stronger and itâs beautiful
âŚâŚ
My random brain suddenly told me âI want them to adopt Rudolph.â
And while itâs random I agree with it.
You are worth more than your usefulness to others!!!!!
Entrapta: SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK.
Hordak: Go to bed.
Entrapta: Dang it.
Entrapta: Only if you do.
Hordak: Dang it.
Hordak and Entrapta: Adora!!
Adora: What?
Hordak: Order us to go to sleep.
Adora: Why?
Entrapta: Because weâre too good at bribing each other into staying awake.
Catra: Go to bed you dorks!
Hordak: Can I open a window? Itâs pretty stuffy in here.
Entrapta: Of course.
[window opens to a blinding light]
Hordak: ITâS TOMORROW?!?
Entrapta: No. Theyâre taking out the trash. Itâs Tuesday.
Hordak: WE HAVE BEEN IN THERE FOR THREE DAYS?!?
Entrapta: Thatâs a new record! And itâs probably bedtime.
Hordak: Yeah, probably.
Entrapta: âŚor. We could close this window and pretend we never saw this.
Hordak: âŚthatâs true.
I literally saw 4 hours this past Saturday.
And two of those were past midnight on Friday. đ
So I basically slept from 2am to 3pm, was up for two hours, decided to go back to bed expecting to wake up at 10pm ish, and woke up about 2am Sunday.
Iâm expecting that, since Iâm currently easing out of four months of insane stress at work, my body is deciding itâs not in pure survival mode anymore and collapsing in mutiny. đđ
In other words, yes, the dorks are me.
(And a divergence circadian rhythm. My preferred sleep schedule is 4am to noon, but thereâs no daycare centers in my area that are open the second shift so Iâm stuck hoping we have enough staff to let me focus on afternoon shiftsâŚâŚ.)
You wouldnât think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. Itâs like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.
For everyone in the comments asking how flamingos are extremophiles:
Flamingos can survive in low oxygen, high altitude, high temperatures, low temperatures, high alkaline, they can and will drink boiling water and they can be completely frozen at night and still get up the next morning
Donât fuck with flamingos
âŚ.. Didnât know most of that
Huh⌠so thatâs why zoos donât put them somewhere warm during winter.
Oh yeah, this leaves out what I *did* know about themâthey can also survive hypersalinity. That is, water so salty it kills practically everything elseâwater so salty it burns your skin.
American flamingos just drink that shit
(animal death) this is a real undoctored photograph (*though the body was stood up for the shot) of a dead flamingo on the surface of lake natron, a lake so salty and so alkaline that itâs naturally carbonated like soda and would eat through your stomach lining if you drank from it.
When this photo went viral years ago, most people assumed this poor flamingo must have been killed by the lake.
It is actually the lake where 75% of its global population are hatched. This is a photo from the same lake:
Some species of flamingo actually subsist almost entirely on a diet of bacteria! In other words, there is a species of dinosaur that eats only bacteria and lives in lakes so toxic they would kill almost anything elseâand it is best known to the average person as a kitschy lawn decoration.

RATING: RELIABLE
Flamingos can survive in high altitudes, hypersaline conditions, and caustic lakes.
Source: âAll flamingo species have evolved to live in some of the planetâs most extreme wetlands, like caustic âsoda lakesâ, hypersaline lagoons or high-altitude salt flats.â
They can survive water so alkaline it burns human skin.
Source: âMore than a million lesser flamingos breed in Tanzaniaâs Lake Natron, for instance, a lake fed by hot springs with water so alkaline that it can strip away human skin (one pioneering flamingo researcher named Leslie Brown spent months in Nairobi General Hospital after burning his legs wading out to observe where the birds nested).â
They can drink water at near-boiling temperatures.
Source: âThey can drink water at near boiling point to collect freshwater from springs and geysers at lake edges. If no freshwater is available, flamingos can use glands in their head that remove salt, draining it out from their nasal cavity.â
The lakes they inhabit can freeze overnight, and the flamingos can survive once it thaws in the morning.
Source: âThe birds may seem to epitomize the tropics, but they also live in the Andes, 15,000 feet above sea level, where they rest on lakes that freeze around them overnight.
âYouâll see them sitting there like snowballs, frozen on ice,â Dr. Arengo said. âAnd as the temperature warms up, they thaw out, fluff themselves up and go about their business.ââ
The photo is indeed from Lake Natron, taken by photographer Nick Brandt. The content of the lake chemically preserves animal corpses that die there. You can see more photos of this here.
It is also true that 75% of Lesser Flamingos are hatches on Lake Natron.
Source: âThe lakeâs landscape is surreal and deadlyâand made even more bizarre by the fact that itâs the place where nearly 75 percent of the worldâs lesser flamingos are born.â
Some species of Flamingo eat cyanobacteria or algae.
Source: âFlamingos have very specialised diets. And their food is responsible for their famous pink colouration. The two species in Planet Earth II eat a lot of floating microscopic algae, which contains carotenoid pigments, the same types of chemical that make carrots orange. These pigments turn their feathers pink, orange and red â without them, flamingos would be white.â
⌠@todaysbird ??
yeah theyâre just like that
information that is also important
Iâve heard before that itâs possible that flamingos are the origin of the myth of the phoenix.
Because of the entire âimpossibly colored bird living in literal death water, casually thawing themselves before merrily flying away.â

Wrong Hordak: Aunt Glimmer Maâam, may I please get a glass of water?
Glimmer: Of course!
Wrong Hordak: Thank you!
[he runs off]
Glimmer: How is he so calm and polite when he was raised byâŚyâknow?
Bow: Hordak?
Glimmer: No, Entrapta.
Bow: What do you mean? Entrapta may not always understand social convention, but that doesnât mean sheâsâ
[giant boom shakes the castle]
Entrapta, walking in covered in smoke: So heads up, on a scale from 1-10, the Bright Moon kitchen is a solidâŚno longer exists.
I can hear Entraptaâs voice at that last line, it is glorious. đĽ°
Literally anyone after the S5 finale: *insults Hordak*
Hordak: Fucking try me I have killed God and Iâll do it again.
Ah, yes, one of my favorite canon-compliant scenes in my âin-my-headâ fanfiction for Entrapdak.
There are trials, because of course there are trials for those who had been part of the Etherian Horde. Brightmoon had to maintain its status as the moral heart of Etheria, and addressing the war in a public forum was necessary.
Hordak, of course, believed this was performative. If it had been explained to him, he may have even admitted it was justified performance, a script to maintain order.
He personally would have preferred a quick execution, but under normal circumstances he would have accepted the torture of delay as also being justified.
Except - Entrapta.
He couldnât tell if she was honestly deluding herself when she described taking him to Dryl and the things they would do âafter.â Perhaps, she was also being performative, stealing false moments of happiness while it was possible, pretending.
He couldnât take that from her, and so kept silent during her ramblings, offering mild comments of âThat does sound lovelyâ to what he knew was impossible.
And then, the trial, and the - sham of a verdict. Confinement? Were they joking?
The Etherians misunderstood his outburst that cut off the details.
They assumed he was angry at receiving a punishment, not that he thought they were making a mockery of him.
There is a bit of talking over each other as various princesses and notables tried to explain that, of course, Hordak was going to undergo some punishment, even though they had agreed upon extenuating circumstances that he could prove through recompense work.
Someone (Bow) blurted out that even Entrapta would be handed a punishmentâŚ
And the entire courtroom falls silent.
It is no longer a defeated, broken and humbled alien in restraints standing before Queen Glimmer.
It was suddenly Lord Hordak, the living embodiment of every one of their deepest nightmares, a presence as marked in its utter silence as it was the almost physical aura of rage radiating off of him.
They knew, logically, that he would be stopped. He was outnumbered, and far from perfect health.
But even restrained, they knew he would take down every. single. person. he could. before he was done.
(Fortunately, Entrapta glides in front of him and deescalates everything.)
(It still takes a long time of unintentional double-conversations before the Etherians understand Hordak had believed he would be executed, and a states verdict of âconfinementâ was merely a pretense to pretend moral superiority while killing him in secret. And that any Horde member would fact similar âpunishment,â including Entrapta if it was applied to her.)
(It takes significantly longer to convince Hordak that âliving in Dryl under Entraptaâs supervision except for rebuilding work, with eventual full freedom upon sufficient good behavior,â was actually what Brightmoon was âpunishingâ him with.)
(Like, years.)
This. I like this. I like all of this. Taking this thank you.
Also beautiful tags
Hordak doesnât mind getting hurt but touch the waifu and youâre getting the knifeu
Glimmer, turning to Entrapta: So, uh, why do you want to marry Hordak?
Hordak, also turning to Entrapta: Yes, this is a question I believe we are all wondering.
In at least one alternate universe Hordak and Entrapta are married for literal years before the dingus realizes she loves him.
(this is separate from the âEntrapta secretly had a shotgun marriage with Hordak when she gave him the LUV crystal and just didnât tell himâ headcanon, in the above everyone but Hordak knows)

Rocky: Then when Rocky Grace back to Erid, we get on elevator and go down to home.
Grace: You guys get to/from space with an elevator???
Rocky: Yes. What Earth do question?
Grace: Well, we basically set the tail of our spaceship on fire and use the explosion to propel us into space!
Rocky:
Rocky: and. and this works question?
Grace: Eh, most of the time, but a lot of people have died while we figured it out.
Rocky:
Rocky:
Rocky: what wrong with humans question?
Rocky, donât worry, there are plenty of us humans asking that same question.
No, wait, thatâs not reassuring at all!
Me: "Damn people are REALLY BAD at knowing when to tag their eyestrain art/images...either that or they just don't care about photosenitive epileptic people like me. I feel really sad now." Person: "But Allison, what if they just don't know or understand what qualifies as eyestrain and what doesn't?" Me: "You know what? That could be a factor...While it is always better to be safe rather than sorry (so YES people should always tag eyestrain even if they're unsure if it "counts" or not) maybe you've got a point?"
Anyways! HERE'S YOUR HANDY GUIDE TO WHAT CAN COUNT AS EYESTRAIN! I'm pulling this straight from the Artfight rules page about what needs to be labeled and filtered as eyestrain because it's VERY helpful and VERY accurate! I also know not everybody has an AF account and might not always have access to this handy guide, and this is an important resource; That's why I'm sharing it here! (under the cut)
PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!
by the way this is medical. this could save somebody from a migraine all the way to a seizure. this has always been serious. treat this seriously.
