Every June this inevitably winds up back on my dash. And I appreciate that. And I will reblog it. Every time.

[rockitcat]

Hey, it’s @archerinventive, and the Pride Knights!

Archery x flower arranging

This was actually really fun!

Anyway, don’t forget I’m still raising money to test a bunch of things in a suit of armour:

The Bluminarmour Project

Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.

[shiropoint]

This is mesmerizing to watch.

[fuu-dog-treats]

actually physically painful to watch because you know months were spent masking all those frames for each of the kajillions of transitions in this

Holy………..shmokes…….

[mozzarella-shenanigans]

Oh?? My god??

[pomrania]

I’ll try my best to describe this. It’s a video with a mash-up of a bunch of different Disney movies, set to a song that’s a mash-up of a bunch of other songs. That in and of itself wouldn’t make it praiseworthy, but this is DONE SO WELL that just, holy cow.

[drawnsnake]

HOLY SHIT

Every time I see this, I HAVE to watch.

we got a full redbox and now we're playing go fish with the redbox movies

[chirasul]

I would never pay money for a redbox. if you ask politely and are very very persistent (i.e. annoying) they will let you take it away

here's my dad and i taking it away

a redbox makes a wonderful addition to your patio

[fishmech]

for those wondering why they're free to take now, it's because the company that made those "chicken soup for the soul" books bought them a few years ago and then completely collapsed so bad they couldn't afford to dispose of or even take the blu rays and dvds out of their kiosks all over.

so any of them is free game because they're all located on other business' property and they usually don't want to have to pay to get rid of them either. so asking the store manager usually gets you the ok to pull it out and keep it.

[chirasul]

there was a period of time right after their bankruptcy where you could put in any debit or credit card and it would spit out movies without charging you. you could even put in like an expired or deactivated card, or a visa gift card with a $0 balance, didnt matter, they'd just start spitting discs out. a lotta people raided redboxes for movies for a couple months, with some people doing what me and my brother and my dad did here, taking the whole box and signs and marquees as well. because managers sure as hell don't want a big abandoned piece of trash on their sidewalk disappointing customers. BUT they're also often too cheap to pay someone to remove it. so they just sit there.

luckily there are no shortage of freaks like us who will just take them away on our own volition. we did it all "by the book", too: we set up cones and caution tape, disconnected electricity properly, used an angle grinder to grind down the bolts in the concrete so nobody would trip on them, then cleaned everything up afterward and sealed off the electrical panel so the store would know everything is safe and tidy. though they were hesitant when we were first contacting them, they were honestly very relieved and grateful when we finally took it away, especially once they saw that we "knew what we were doing" (we don't) and look like we've "done this before" (we haven't).

the fun part: the reason why this redbox, in particular, was completely full and unraided is because the computer hardware inside had failed some months before the bankruptcy, and a failing company sure as hell wasn't gonna send a tech out to our podunk dipshit city to fix it, so it was impossible to rent movies or take any discs out. plus, for who knows how long, people were returning old redbox discs to this machine and not taking any out, leading to a much higher variety of movies than your average redbox.

there is a thriving community of redbox hackers and modders out there, as well, creating open-source software for repurposing the machines and not letting their very interesting and robust disc-management hardware go to waste. this one belongs to my brother (who was very annoying persistent and did all the legwork of contacting managers and securing permission) who is a programmer by trade and will be hacking it into a family-access movie library, with whatever discs we want. i mean the machine is completely weatherproof and has a built-in AC unit, it would be such a waste to not try to turn it into something cool.

if we get another one, i'm gonna try to mod it into some sort of art or zine vending machine. the disc boxes are just the right size for small print art or stickers. would make a great "little free library" too.

remember: the rules are made up. act like you belong there and you can get away with anything. this applies to your own life

Always curious what was going through Ian's head. Here is Mickey-- in his house the morning after their first night together in months. For all he knows, things could have reverted to the status quo they had before: fooling around in secret, Mickey retreating back to his place afterwards, repeat ad infinitum. Instead, Mickey comes down the stairs in the morning wearing borrowed clothes, griping about the Gallagher noise, being surprisingly domestic, and not flinching away from being tender towards Ian even with his sister in the room with them. In a normal couple, unguarded displays of domesticity are a big step forward. For Mickey, it's a quantum leap. Sure, Mickey acquiesced the previous when Ian tauntingly asked Mickey to blow him whenever he wants, but there was no promise of them functioning like an actual couple. From Ian's point of view, sticking around, having a stolen moment around the breakfast table together might very well be the first sign that Mickey might be finally ready to choose to be with him over choosing an easier path.

And for this all to unfold under Fiona's watchful eye is often overlooked. In the past, he has given Lip the spark notes version of his and Mickey's relationship. And Fiona found out about him and Ned in a way that was highly divorced from Ian actually being involved in the scenario. But this is really the first time any of the Gallaghers (or at least the ones he cares about) have just witnessed him being in a relationship, sitting with his boyfriend across the table over coffee, asking Mickey to visit him at work. They're small moments in a relationship that his heterosexual siblings take for granted. After all, JimmySteve was welcomed into family life easily and Mandy and Lip were playing house from the moment they hooked up. But even if you take out the factor of Mickey's guarded nature in the early seasons, and the fact that he is with a neighborhood tough who probably stole Lip's lunch money a lot over the years (or at least he did in my headcanon), this is a big deal that straight people don't have to really think about. Despite his siblings knowing he is queer, there is a big difference between knowing the facts and seeing his relationships unfold in real time. It's the difference between theory and praxis. And letting his sister see him being in a relationship is just as big a breakthrough as Mickey stepping up to the plate and functioning as a partner at least within the privacy of the Gallagher house is.

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)

Thought crimes of course aren’t real but uh. We know those aren’t just thoughts anymore once you’ve posted them publicly, yeah?

Then they’re just crimes.

sure, fictional crimes since nothing happened and no one was hurt. should we put the fictional handcuffs on? "sorry, you wrote about murder which is illegal, go spend 20 years in mind jail"

[lustcannibalism]

y'all make so much more fuss about shit in fanfiction than crimes in real life

[biglawbear]

Agatha Christie is serving 100,000 consecutive life sentences for all the murders

[evilwriter37]

Writing fiction (at least where I live) is not a fucking crime. The idea that it should be a crime is purely fascist. Trying to control fiction and censorship is making thoughtcrime a real thing. Y’all are fascist and need to get a fucking grip.

Also, can’t wait to serve my 1,300+ years with Agatha Christie.

[jayalaw]

China is doing this so, yeah. Don’t. Just don’t go down that path of thought crime

[angry-eevee]

when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL  “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.
