Too Many Pixels

This Blog is horrendously outdated and is only being kept around for the art I still need to reblog to my current blog. Nothing new is being reblogged here.

Moving Blogs; Please Re-follow

Holy carp, turns out it’s impossible to move a primary tumblr blog to a new account! So I changed the name of this one (formerly kaknakanak) to formerlykaknakanak so I can use @kaknakanak on the new blog. It isn’t set up yet, as I have to get ready for work, but I’m going to be moving literally everything I’ve ever reblogged or posted there one post at a time starting tomorrow. 

I’m begging you, please re-follow me. Even you, @hpyjoy482. 

Once I have moved everything (124 PAGES OF POSTS) and refollowed everyone I want to (225 BLOGS), this blog will be deleted so I can move my email over, coincidentally so I can delete the email the other account is currently connected to. Complicated-ness is complicated. 

Hopefully I’ll see all 108 of you on the other blog!

Can someone explain what’s happening besides someone being reborn?

[naamahdarling]

In the first comic, which is from the Warrior’s point of view, the Warrior has defeated the Monster, who jeers that there will always be another Monster to fight. The Monster dissolves into mist, leaving another tiny, baby Monster in its place. The Warrior picks up this helpless new baby Monster and carries it away. They will try again and do better this time.

In the second comic, which is from the Monster’s point of view, the Monster says that this has to happen; it can’t come with the Warrior, and there will always be another.  It tells the Warrior to use what they have learned to fight.  It wants to die knowing that the Warrior has hope for the future.  It dissolves into mist, and the exhausted Warrior collapses. The new baby Monster comes and brings the Warrior some water in a leaf.  Because we are reading this in the Monster’s voice, we realize that it is a new Monster, but also somehow, magically, the same.  We also see that the Monster is not inherently evil.  It is only very strong, and inevitable.

The third comic is a dialogue between the Monster and the Warrior.  The Warrior is exhausted and horrifically wounded. The Monster is also horribly maimed.  They are both dying. The Warrior doesn’t want to fight anymore.  The Monster tells them to rest and heal. The Warrior hands over their amulet, and we see the Monster’s paw become a hand just before they both dissolve into mist.  It clears, revealing that the Monster has turned into a beautiful humanoid, who says they will take care of the new baby monster the Warrior has turned into.  The two have changed roles.  The Warrior takes up the former Warrior’s gear and strides into the new year with the new baby Monster riding on their shoulders.

It is a beautiful, ruthless, hopeful metaphor about keeping up the good fight, year after year, even when we are worn down, and how we can still face the new year with hope and light, no matter how painful the last one was, and how it is okay to rest if we can’t fight.

[naamahdarling]

It’s not the new year, but things are so difficult for so many of us right now, and we are so worn down from so many fights on so many fronts, I feel like we could all use this again.  Love, rest, fight, love.

Quick rant

I hate that my mom guilted me into saying okay to getting a beagle puppy

I hate that she would have gotten him without my permission anyway

I hate that she got him when the only person on-board with it is our roommate

I hate that she expects me to help take care of him when I told her he was exclusively her responsibility

I hate that she's hardly training him

I hate that she's too lazy to watch him and keep him within her sight because she won't get up off the couch

I hate that she won't replace the stuff of mine he destroys

I hate that she blames me when he destroys my stuff

I hate that she expects me to change my lifestyle for a dog I didn't want in the first place

I hate that she's making me choose between my future (living with her and being able to afford school) and my sanity (moving out and getting away from the damn dog)

I hate that she won't get rid of him despite regretting getting a puppy

I try not to post negative stuff on here, but god damn if I have to keep quiet about this any longer

So I found the letter that the Animorphs author and trans ally K. A. Applegate wrote after the series ended and I’m FLOORED

I mean

[frenchroasted]

You want something even crazier? Animorphs ended in May 2001.  She didn’t know what was coming, but damn if she didn’t give her readers a much needed dose of reality about the horrors of war right before we were really going to need it.

[formerlykaknakanak]

Okay, but like…I read those books in elementary school. They were in the school library. If you're going to write a series for kids, shouldn't it be a little more…kid-friendly?

If you want to argue that it's important for kids to learn reality, why not write realistic fiction?

I read fantasy because I want to escape reality, generally going someplace happier. Getting all the way to the end and having my favorite character die and having my second favorite character never be seen again was crushing for little fourth-grader me. That's not what I read those books for. But I what I read them for and what they were written for are two different things.

That said, I have the same complaint about Harry Potter. Considering how popular that one ended up, I'm starting to think other people don't think this way.

You know what series I did like all the way through? The Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage. What a masterpiece of kid-friendly, but not quite kiddie fantasy writing.

Another batch of weird dogs!  

[pokebreeder]

These crossbreeds are popular with trainers who love both Ghost and Psychic type Pokémon. They have formidable power, but they’re also so squishy and cute! The gel that forms their bodies may seem edible, but it’s extremely toxic (and glows in the dark).

“in this essay i will explore” memes piss me off because it implies y’all still using first person pronouns when writing academically. childish ass

[prismatic-bell]

In this essay, this writer will explore the implications of pretending that one’s own personal view is not part of one’s essay, and the inaccessibility of academia related to established custom of artificial detachment.

[shredsandpatches]

In this essay, I will demonstrate that the blanket ban on first-person pronouns in high-school and some university English classes is poorly understood and hastily adopted as a result. I will further illustrate that it is a mere substitute for explaining to inexperienced writers that excessive use of phrases like “I think” or “I believe” is unnecessary and rhetorically weakens academic writing, and that opinions expressed in an essay are already assumed to be those of the author. Finally, I will address strategies for effectively conveying that information to students, who often find it difficult to grasp.

[thepioden]

In this essay, passive voice will be used throughout in order to distance the work done from any researchers, or, in reality, kind of imply all experiments were done by magical lab gremlins and the results were simply recorded. 

[jumpingjacktrash]

in this essay, enlightenment will descend upon you without the agency of any living being. you will know things, yet know not how you know.

prepare yourself. it begins.

[quousque]

In this essay, I will use the first person pronoun as a bludgeoning weapon

[weaselle]

in thissay, exploring by me, I, linguistic distillation of one, i: mnemonic communicative devices juxtaposed with highly inventive and personalized idiolects used by I, one, to obliterate pre-conceptualized uncritical denunciation of a perfectly passible cognitive expression serving more than one, you, for light educational instantacious happenstanding, in addition other, most, for only funnitude and humoristic playfullery inviting unconventional neologism…

i put “All I Want for Christmas is You” through a MIDI converter, and then back through an mp3 converter

the result is this garbage

[red3blog]

I’m driving myself up the wall because I swear I can hear the vocal line but I don’t know how that could be if it was truly converted to MIDI. Unless you can replicate speech sounds entirely with modulated MIDI notes, in which case I’m actually impressed with this tire fire of an MP3.

[delphinidin4]

I absolutely agree with @saltedchoffee, but they should also know that “i love you and i want your hands” is one of the most haunted things i’ve heard somebody say..
