Bravo, that’s a hell of a thing to do in that gear, I would know.

In case anyone wants some perspective on how utterly random triggers can be. I haven’t lived in a house with a garage door in four-ish years. Right now at this moment, I honestly can’t recall what they sound like, except something metallic moving and rather clanky.

There was one on tv. I wasn’t even paying attention to it, I had my headphones on and was actively trying to tune the show out. My ears picked up on the sound of the garage door, and a jolt of adrenaline shot through my body as I grabbed my laptop and moved to get out of my seat and run to my room.

I realized what happened after about two seconds.

The sound is gone from my ears, but my heart is still racing and I’m waiting for the door to the house to open, to hear the jingling of my mother’s keys and her footsteps moving through the house. My muscles are still tense and I’m fighting the urge to run to my room and stick a board in front of the door.

For years, the sound of a garage door was my warning to pack up what I was doing quickly and retreat to my room if I was out of it.

I can’t remember the sound of the garage door right now, but I can’t tell my brain to stop trying to react to it.

This can be reblogged, if anyone was wondering. I wrote up this post with the intention that hopefully people who read it and didn’t really get triggers would understand a bit.

Natural Swimming Pools

Natural swimming pools use plants or a combination of plants and sand filters to keep the water clean and clear without chemicals. They were developed in Austria and Germany in the 1980s and have since grown in popularity worldwide. They can be designed in a multitude of ways: Some look like natural ponds; others may be disguised as standard tiled pools. (Source)

Roger is the bad bitch of the galaxy

Okay, but Roger also can’t keep a man.

Pleackly has a man, a family, and isn’t trapped living in an attic. And to top it off - see those two tongues? Roger wishes he could.

Known as Petunia cultivars, Night Sky Petunias are a deep purple flower that’s characterized by the unique patterns on their petals. Much like their name suggests, these mesmerizing plants bloom to reveal a stunning plethora of white stars resembling distant clusters of galaxies. Their otherworldly patterns are the result of a variance between night and day temperatures, so if you’re growing your own then you should keep them warm in the day (around 100° F) and cool at night (about 50°F) in order to yield the most spectacular results.

Here is my first post on them

I was scrolling through my pictures and thought I’d pick my top ten favourite pieces of Halo concept art.

You’ll notice a bit of a theme in how they tend towards the more environmental type of concept art pieces - particularly with regard to the ones that capture the sheer scale, majesty, and abstract nature of the Forerunners. Sparth is just… there’s no other word for it, he’s a god at capturing the Forerunner aesthetic and technology is now at a point where the games can translate that vision with more fidelity and flair than they could ten years ago.

But I also like the smaller pieces - as you can see from the ODST concepts and that one of Cortana in the Dawn’s cryo bay.

A common theme you’ll see in Halo’s concept art is how a single figure will relate to the environment - with Sparth, we often see a single, small figure being dwarfed by these immense Forerunner structures. Here, we see the lone figures of Cortana and the Rookie in these dark, broken places which tells us a lot about the setting and a lot about the characters.

The warm lighting of the phone kiosk conveys a really ‘homely’ feel to the city of New Mombasa, but around that you can see the devastation and isolation of that city.

The one with Cortana however has the environment around her, the cryo bay, frozen over with cold blue lighting which makes it look like she’s suspended in time - her figure shines the brightest in that image and she’s having to keep on living while the world and the person she cares about most is in stasis.

I just have a lot of feelings about Halo’s concept art…
