mostly reblogs. I am sorry. At some point, it will become a catalogue. Of interests. Maybe. My name is Rein. Or Agatha. Or Viktor. Or Sofia. I do not know. he/they/she. I do not know. Probably autistic. Probably pwNPD.

The European Union already forced Apple to abandon its proprietary charging port and adopt USB-C across its entire iPhone lineup. It just did something bigger. A new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center. Batteries must maintain a minimum capacity threshold after a set number of charge cycles and replacement parts must remain available for up to ten years after a model goes on sale.

The consumer electronics industry built its current business model around batteries that degrade, cannot be replaced at home, and create a natural upgrade cycle every two to three years. The EU just legislated that model out of existence in the world's largest regulatory market.

Apple, Samsung, and every other manufacturer now faces a choice between redesigning their devices for the European market or accepting that their current hardware architecture is no longer legally sellable there.

Given that no company walks away from European consumers voluntarily the phones are going to change and once they change for Europe the rest of the world will ask why theirs still do not.

Markiplier: some people might mistake me for some kind of a masochist

Also Markiplier: makes the world's whumpiest self-insert known to humanity, kills him in the end, and then spends several interviews talking about how cool it was to be shaken around in a tuna can.

"christian characters in movies are poorly written because the writers are atheist" "atheist characters in movies are poorly written because the writers are christian" stop fighting. all human experience is poorly written in movies because the writers are californian

i live! here's part 3 🎉

(working on this again after having to rush to finish work for finals has been a balm on my weary soul, but also i feel slightly insane bc i was tired of drawing and i am recovering by drawing🧎)

hot take: 

Gloin is the sexiest dwarf by dwarf standards.

Kili is the sexiest dwarf by elf standards.

Thorin is the sexiest dwarf by human standards

& Bombur is the sexiest dwarf by hobbit standards

[penny-anna]

#ITS TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT #(ALSO THORIN AND KILI BEING ‘UGLY’ BY DWARF STANDARDS IS AMUSING CONTENT)

further take: Kili is straight-up ugly by dwarf standards. Thorin is like, the dwarf equivalent of Benedict Cumberbatch. Some dwarves think he’s an absolutely dreamboat, others think he is super weird looking, there’s very little middle ground.

wiuld be funny if garce tried to achieve some tones in eridian through helium, like that choir video

[cedar-is-a-nerd]

Has anyone made Carl x Grace angst where Carl realises months or maybe even years after Grace is launched that "Oh. Fuck. I loved him." But it's too late and the last memory one of the people he genuinely loved and wanted to spend forever with is of him standing over top of him while he's sedated and kidnapped.

Because of not that's wasted potential and I need to start writing for my boy Carl and I also give full permission to anyone ever to write this because Carl is my underrated king we need #morecarl

“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.

the condensed aroace anon here. First of all I forgot my initial thought process, but there is something so distinctly aroace about your jongerry art??? That's how I got to know you, and because of this factor you're my fav artist!! I cannot really describe it well, but the best I can do is it has a sleekness that is still very alive despite the sleekness?

The same doesn't apply to your silly doodles of yourself: but those have a sleep deprivation feel to it. Which for some reason heavily associates with aroace to me. Also the way you talk about yourself

Also. I'm sorry. You're a TMA and Witch Hat Atelier fan. And Project Hail Mary. That's ultimate aroace media (to me)

Yeah my jongerry is v aroace to me! Any ship I draw really even if i don't necessarily see them as aroace specifically, I think my flavour of ship is always gonna be aroace informed (at the very least in how I interact with it and create for it)

Sleep deprivation and being aroace is an incredible association lmao I'd love to find out how that came to be in your head.

Dude's feeling exposed ^
