Firefly Factory

She/her (20s) --Thoughts, etc -- it's all Astor Age of Calamity here (and some Skyrim)

[firefly-factory]

Hi, call me Firefly! 🧡💚💙

Finally making a pinned post as a little roadmap of what you'll see here.

Tag sorting below the cut! I try to be consistent so I can find stuff on my own blog <3

For my art/original posts I use these tags plus any other relevant variants I can think of for visibility. For reblogs I just use key tags (below) for sorting.

My tags (general)

#my art - for art and things I've drawn/made

#my writing - same thing but for writing

#my animation - for animations I'm working on

#firefly rambles - thoughts/vents/things that don't fit elsewhere

#firefly feasts - food I've made and recipes I'd like to try

My tags (specific)

#firefly's fics: freed from desire - for posts related to my long-term Astor fic

It'll be the same format for other pieces of writing, i.e., #firefly's fics: [name] but right now I don't have any others I can think of

#astor my rat <3 - for art of my version of Astor from age of calamity

#firefly's oc: [name] - for art and posts about my specific ocs. Examples below

#firefly's oc: ida

#firefly's oc: herod

#firefly's oc: leah

#firefly's oc: astra

firefly's oc: spike

#golden threads of fate <3 - for fully rendered drawings I'm especially proud of (calling it this bc so far they both have gold borders :))

Reblog tags

#woah history - historical stuff I thought was interesting

#silly language shenanigans - linguistics tag! sometimes silly sometimes serious always tagged this way

#friends art - art made by my mutuals <3

#friends writing - same thing but for writing

#friends ocs - my mutuals' original characters

When i reblog ocs I'll usually also tag with their first name (full name if I can rememeber it). If my moot has a specific tag for their oc, I might use that instead.

#leviathan #theodora #vaie of hyrule #danger!josh #lilliandra #alethia wintersong etc.

Fandom tags

Unless it's a one-word name (or the acronym means something else) I usually use acronyms for game titles. I tag characters the same way I tag ocs

Right now my biggest fandoms are

The Elder Scrolls (lots of reblogs, less original stuff these days)

#tes - main tag. I try to hit all my elder scrolls reblogs with this one

I'll also attach more specific tags (#skyrim #morrowind #eso #nerevarine #altmer #tesblr etc.) but these can be hit or miss

The Legend of Zelda (specifically Astor lol. Lots of reblogs *and* original stuff for him)

#loz - general zelda tag

#astor aoc - my go-to Astor tag :D I'll use the others when I post original stuff, but this is my default for reblog sorting

#yiga clan - yiga clan stuff 🥰 I love them

#master kohga - you'll also see a lot of him so he gets tagged consistently <3

Im less consistent about other zelda tags, but if it's something new/recent (#zelda notes #age of imprisonment, etc) I'll try to tag for anyone who's avoiding spoilers

These are the big ones, but this is very much a multi-fandom blog. If I didn't list something here, its probably just bc I forgot

If you read all the way through this um. I love you and I hope you found whatever you were looking for XD

And if you're new to my blog, how did you get here?? (Im not just saying that. I am always fascinated by what draws people to my blog, especially if there isn't some obvious overlap)

Anyways, that's all for now

Love,

Firefly 💕

"Seer" (and style test)

Just realized I never actually shared this despite meaning to so yeah :)) It's my astor and i love this style so much, so expect to maybe see some more of it in the near future. Love y'all bye <3

Doomed sibling dynamic:

Charismatic, extroverted sibling who thinks this is just normal banter and

Quieter sibling who's been trying to carve her out her own place and *still* can't get out of his shadow. Sibling who's on the edge of destroying everything just to make her name her own.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 3 days 10 hours

[odyver]

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 3 days 10 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 3 days 10 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

[odyver]

This got more traction than I imagined and has motivated me to make a more thorough survey where I can actually parse the data.

No email is necessary to input to complete the survey. Please also consider sharing this off tumblr with people in your life to get a broader sample, especially people who love history and love museums!

So! This is a perfect case study in situations where you should be wary of misinformation.

Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?

The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!

This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.

Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:

Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or

Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.

The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.

The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).

Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.

So yeah, there's actually quite a lot of places that would like these. Lots of people currently breathing in terrible quality air would much rather have their boring city benches replaced with really fucking cool algae tanks that clean the air and can be used to help create + sustain future green spaces in cities. I dunno about you, but I'd take that over a dumb metal bench any day. Put these at every bus stop and I'd be delighted.

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.
