When did you start making art and what inspired you to do so? Just curious.

When I was like, eight, and I did it because drawing was fun and soothed the undiagnosed autism and adhd

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.

We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.

sobbing into my plate after overhearing a conversation between a mom and her tiny daughter in this shopping centre food court

slavicafire

this one buffet type restaurant is away from the main food court, on the upper floor of the shopping centre - nearly no one goes there, so even in the wild rush of pre-christmas shopping, it's fairly quiet.

it's a mother with a daughter, kindergarten age. they sit at the table next to me, each with their own plate, having a quiet conversation. the daughter eats very quickly, stuffing her mouth, you know how kids sometimes do. the mother tells her, very softly:

"remember what we talked about? you and your tummy are a team and you have to be a team player! let's make sure you chew your food well so it has an easier job later, and has enough time to tell you once you're full"

the child nods, very serious and focused, because she has a very Important Mission now after all. she begins eating slower, chewing well, and additionally taking some time to Ponder the food on the fork before chomping a bit of the many different dishes she picked small portions of.

"what is your favourite thing from your plate?" the mom asks, and the child points to something on the plate. "why? what's the flavour?" the mom continues, and the daughter replies, taking the time to describe the flavour and the texture, even though she "doesn't know what it is at all but it's yummy" and the mother smiles and explains to her what that food is. I think it was mozzarella, in the form of those small balls that work well for salads and appetizers.

once the daughter's plate is empty, she looks at it a bit puzzled.

"are you still hungry?" asks the mom and as the child nods, she says "let's give it a moment so your tummy can catch up as well." - a moment passes - "still hungry?"

the child nods enthusiastically. "alright, let's walk over to the buffet and we'll pick something more"

"can you bring?" the child asks and the mom just says, smiling:

"no, because you should choose what looks like it will make you not hungry anymore. also, walking a bit will help your tummy understand how much more food you two need to feel full so you're no longer hungry but you're also not too full so that you feel uncomfortable or nauseous" and they went to get more food.

it might not sound impressive or interesting, but she was so kind and patient, and the child was clearly happy and curious and receptive to the information she was learning about her own body and how food works. none of "you have to eat the whole plate" under the threat of some punishment, none of "that's enough, you've had enough, you're not hungry anymore" none of "you'll eat what I picked out for you and that's it, no discussion." I don't know. I hope they had a nice rest of the day

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.

In 1975, North Korean ambassador to Australia crashed his official Mercedes-Benz while drunk driving. Knocking on the door of the nearest house looking for help, the ambassador was aghast to find the door opened by none other than the South Korean ambassador.

Having immediately fled the scene on foot, the next morning the North Koreans visited a local Mercedes dealer in an attempt to buy a replacement car. This did not go well however as - after picking a car - the North Koreans were told they would have to wait a few weeks for a delivery, as the display car had already been bought by the South Korean ambassador. There was much screaming.

Days later, without telling anyone, the North Koreans abruptly abandoned their embassy and fled back to Pyongyang.

It is claimed diplomatic relations were then completely severed only a year later when a tree was chopped down in the Korean DMZ, using an axe which North Korea claimed had the label "Made in Australia" on it. Only years later was it revealed to have been mistranslated, and actually read "Made in Austria".

After almost 30 years of diplomatic catfighting, North Korea reopened their Australian embassy in 2002. Only a year later Korean officials were busted importing $120 million worth of heroin under the guise of a Mercedes-Benz import-export business.

North Korea attempted to reopen the embassy AGAIN in 2013, with the CIA strongly urging Australia to accept, however the Australian government politely declined the offer this time.

The South Korean ambassador was not without his own troubles, as for years a neighbourhood cat took up residence sunning itself on his driveway.

Not wanting to cause an incident by running it over, Korean diplomats would daily have to attempt to politely shoo the cat away to allow the ambassador to leave, only to be repeatedly mauled by the cat for disturbing its nap, with neighbours having to step in regularly to diffuse the situation.

In other embassy news, earlier this year the Australian government was forced to take a Russian diplomat to court with an eviction notice, after he started squatting on a former embassy construction site and refused to leave.

Unable to move him on due to diplomatic immunity, the Prime Minister told the press "A bloke standing in the cold is not a threat to our national security."

A judge eventually ruled in the Australian government's favour, calling the Russian defence's case “weak, indeed, as I have said, often difficult to understand”.

The diplomat left shortly after, with the Russian ambassador accusing the Australian government of engaging in ‘theatre of the absurd’, after a dead possum was thrown at him.

It is just as critically important for the Netflix DMC anime to properly portray Vergil (he's going to be there, of course he is) as it is to portray Dante. Their whole shtick is that one is cool by acting uncool and the other is uncool by repeatedly causing mass disasters in an effort to be seen as cool

Dante doesn't smoke. He exclusively eats pizza and ice cream. He gets stabbed twice a week. He unironically says "Woohoo! Yeeha! Watcha!" All the women in his life keep attacking him and then take all of his money, with the exception of Patty, who got rich and decorated Devil May Cry in balloons and ribbons and then stole Dante's ice cream anyway. His nephew kicked him into a statue and impaled him with his own sword when they first met.

Vergil is a grown-ass man running around with a katana cutting down everything but his mommy issues. He loses every fight. He uses hair gel despite not even living in human society. He attacked his dad's enemy to prove he was just as good and they kicked his ass. He made up his own overpowered self-insert devilsona because he kept losing to Dante and then it kicked his ass. His humansona looks like if Kylo Ren googled what emo was. He killed millions of people for a fruit that makes you stronger and then Dante kicked his ass. And then his son kicked his ass. He has never paid child support. He answered Dante's statement of "You cut off your own son's arm for this?" with "My son means nothing to me" and then gets surprised when told that Nero is his son, implying he's cut so many arms off that his son being Nero never even entered his mind. His own doppleganger summon occasionally dances outside of his control, making him die of cringe.

Meanwhile, Nero, left unsupported by both his father and his uncle for most of his life, got out of a cult, married his love, runs a soup kitchen, has a stable job, can actually hire a mechanic to help out, and owns a car, but somehow he's the loser in the family.

This is the most accurate Devil May Cry character analysis I've ever seen

Well, obviously Vacuo is gonna be an inversion and mirror of Atlas, right?

harostar

No but seriously I fucking love how Atlas and Vacuo are such mirrors of each other, in basically every way.

The frozen kingdom of Creation, grown wealthy and powerful from its technology and imperialism. The kingdom of technology, the world’s only standing military, a kingdom with a rotten core hidden beneath layers of beautiful, sterile ice. A headmaster that rules through force and intimidation, that allowed his fear to consume him, and couldn’t trust or let anyone close to him. Couldn’t ask for help.

Vacuo, the burning wasteland of Destruction. A kingdom ravaged by Imperialism and war, left to struggle to survive. A people defined by their courage, their adaptability to hardship, and their requirement that everyone earns their keep. A headmaster that is legendary for his strength, but rules through charisma and welcomes challenge, that keeps close allies he trusts to question him.

We went from the kingdom of isolation, to a last bastion where the world has been united by Ruby’s call to action.

play-read-write

One neat thing to comment on in the RWBY9 finale is, when Ruby comes back, the cat sees this as a win for him. Ruby hasn’t changed. She’s still her. And she was who he wanted, because he could fill the void in her heart in order to escape. So when he sees Ruby the same as before, he immediately runs at her.

He can’t comprehend that a person could accept the way things were. He can’t conceive that his won’t work, because in his mind if Ruby didn’t change, then she must still have the hole in her heart. A place he can fill. It never once occurs to him that a person can simply accept themselves. That they can simply Be without having to become something else.

He’s so lost in the idea of needing something else to fill the void, that he never even considers that self-acceptance is even an option. Probably because he, like Ruby, felt he wasn’t enough after the gods left, blaming himself. And he never considered it might not be because he wasn’t enough.

Blake sits down eventually and writes up the Belladona Tales about her life, and her friends but as fairy tales to dispel some of the myths behind the legends.

Can we talk about how that was the perfect cross-cultural example? I was like "oh this sounds so pleasant, how is it-" then Pumped Up Kicks came on and i was like "oh. Oh yeah okay."
