LightningWillows of too many names

won a crackship by committing to the bit and only able to predict things in fandom with zero evidence to suggest they'd happen (she/her, ze/hir)

[destinywillowleaf]

~new pinned post~

just to get everything in one place /‿\

call me destiny! or willows. or lightning, i don't really care. she/her, ze/hir, adult.

my sideblog: @triplechain, a dedicated space for my linkeduniverse expansion-thing (that i desperately need to redo some of the art for because i've had more ideas)

my youtube: right here! i don't upload very often, but i've got some fun stuff up (and hopefully more in the future, who knows)

my AO3: wandering_lightning. i don't post a lot because i want to finishing things first (and then i never finish them or get sidetracked. sorry)

my main tags:

willowarts: my art saving this for later reference: right what it says on the tin i need a recipes tag: recipes and other food things (for my own organization, really) music tag: music (easier to grab on mobile)(sometimes they are videos) i should have an ask tag: both for incoming and outgoing asks, but mostly the incoming side ^^; pfft: laugh tag yeah. yeah: hit the nail right on the head, i don't have much else to add (sometimes for comedy)

fandoms are typically tagged by name (ninjago, megaman, tokyo mew mew, pokemon) but some aren't (mainly sth = sonic the hedgehog catch-all, and mmfc = megaman fully charged catch-all). i've also got a couple of AUs and stories i tag by name like

blood curse of sir aaron: a pokemon au-thing that spawned from wanting to answer why ash was still 10. there are now like 20 planned stories. send help. 2PTAU: two phantom teams AU, for persona 5. instead of one group of persona-users running around tokyo, there's now two. and a lot more persona-users too. Prosecutor Apollo Attorney Nahyuta AU: more or less adopted from greentrickster a while back, it's an apollo-nahyuta lifeswap! this is mostly art because trying to figure out how much would need to be rewritten scares me o_o (but it's such a fun time to think about) friendship forged: my megaman 7 rewrite/adaptation! i should really share more art of it instead of staying vague... (especially considering the pace i'm actually writing which is. currently very slow) but it's shaping up to be my biggest work yet.

my askbox is always open (and if you are nice and i have time i might draw things idk)

Is it a universal medication-taker experience to swallow your pills and then five minutes later completely blank and wonder if you’ve actually taken them or if you took the wrong ones

[blessyouhawkeye]

forever thinking about that girl at my uni orientation who, after being told to pour out her water bottle before entering an event, looked at me and said "they tell us to stay hydrated and then make us pour out our water, this is like totally kafkaesque" and then poured out what was very obviously an entire water bottle full of whiskey. hope she's doing well.

Holy shit!!!!!!! HUNGARY DID IT!!!!

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

ITS ALMOST AS IF VOTING ACTUALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE

REMEMBER THIS DURING THE MID-TERMS

AND DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

<3 If even Hungary can be improved by voting?

Then yes

Getting out there and voting blue, no matter who?

WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE <3

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

no more historic events this decade that is ENOUGH, i’m putting my foot down

[alettertofutureme]

History is not done with us yet my friend

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

I have received all manner of threat, up to and beyond “I will play a flute carved from your femur,” and yet this is the first time I’ve felt truly threatened

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i knew posting this in 2022 was risky but holy fucking shit

A quick update for all my fellow r/196 migrants about how things are going back in the motherland. A saga has unfolded:

It began with a basic hornypost, and a comment under said post:

So, the fatal BreadSlice was getting clowned on in the replies, until:

So yeah, the more things change the more they stay the same I guess.

I hope you get all the rest you need. Even if you spent a quieter day and didn’t feel productive, please allow yourself to rest without guilt or shame for not “earning” it. You don’t have to burn yourself out to prove that you need rest. It’s a very human thing to need sleep, to need a break, to need nourishing, to want to take some personal quiet time. Please allow yourself to rest. Even if it’s “too early” to go to bed, even if you spent all day in bed trying to recover from anything. If your body needs sleep, please allow yourself to have it, there should be no rules as to earning sleep. Give yourself a break and rest for as long as it’s possible in your daily life. People live very busy lives that have so many obligations, but if it’s possible for you to take a break and rest, please do, because there is no shame in being tired, especially if you have an illness that makes you constantly fatigued. Don’t push yourself beyond your limits just to prove that you have earned the right to sleep. You already have that right. Give yourself permission to rest without guilt.

No more sleeping with my phone within reach because I was having an extremely vivid dream that I was the victim of some sort of mass-poisoning. the notorious poisoner? "The Centipede Cult." They used a specific type of poison, referred to only by its chemical nomenclature, which I somehow remembered perfectly upon waking. It went: □□ Na({}^{2})

Because that makes sense. Anyway, this poison would submit me to its well-known and much-feared symptom: "17 Day Paralysis" in which you're paralyzed for exactly 17 days and you only chance of survival is to be on full machine support for 17 days.

Just before the medical team intubated me I remembered I have a Zoom meeting with my academic advisor today (I actually do in real life) and I needed to email him to let him know I was the victim of a mass-poisoning and would need to reschedule.

I kept trying to type the "□" symbol in my dream but could not figure out how and gave up.

I woke up in real life to find I'd begun drafting an email in my sleep to my professor in the Gmail app. I was apparently using talk-to-text (I often do because of my hand neuropathy) but speaking in Irish, which talk-to-text never understands, so other than the words in English "poison" and "centipede" the entire email was complete nonsense.

[wizardarchetypes]

I told my advisor about this and he said, "well, if you had been poisoned, I would have provided you whatever academic supports available to us."

[wizardarchetypes]

Bc so many people have asked, the □ in the dream was in fact just a wingdings square symbol. Your phone/browser isn't blocking an emoji. You're seeing it right.

[sol1loqu1st]

did you know that you can increase the quality of your quesadilla by adding seasoning

[sol1loqu1st]

did you know that you can decrease the quality of your quesadilla by making a tumblr post while it's cooking and burning it

[godlessondheimite]

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

[nobodys-odyssey]

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

[nobodys-odyssey]

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

I just had to collect all of these responses together in one place

Edit: And one from my friend, who doesn't have a tumblr (yet)

[ladyshinga]

#i keep waiting for someone to address the '18th century looms were huge' claim#like sure some were#but the fact that textile mills had been invented doesn't mean that all home weaving ceased#indeed people still weave for fun or profit in this the 21st century#smaller looms were still being built and used in the 18th century just as smaller looms are still being built and used today#and that's without considering the existence of inkle/tape/band looms which were/are used for making narrower woven ribbons for trimming etc#small 18th century looms absolutely exist

there are thousands of notes and a few people ABSOLUTELY addressed this xD

[twistedmaiden]

I wanna add mine! But it still has some assembling to do before I can move on to the next step

My wife did a lot of hand crafts while we were dating. After we got engaged, my father piped up that at least she didn't have a spinning wheel. We put it in the doorway the first time my parents came to visit.

Her loom is packed away at the moment so she can work on an uncountable number of knitting projects and metalwork at the moment.

[a-krogan-skald-and-bearsark]

Fibercrafts.

Not even once. You start with "Oh, I'd love to learn the drop spindle" And the next minute your home office is occupied by a loom, you're planting flax in the garden, and considering the logistics of owning an alpaca.

[oleanderunderground]

This is one of the things I LOVE about humans! I love people keeping old crafts and hobbies alive! It's SO important! Plus I get to see all these other nerds and their sick ass hobbies!

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

[cuunos]

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

[trying-trying2lyk]

i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny
