HEY!!
if youre an artist who cant afford photoshop definitely DO NOT go to my google drive to pirate the program, that would be so bad!!!
do NOT click this link right here and DO NOT enter the password ghostE2008 when it asks for it!!! thatd be super bad!!
Can you indulge me please, given the recent pandemic why is it that artist or fanfic writers are slowing down their works? I ask because personally I believe this makes it a better opportunity to work faster, as something to distract from the gloomy reality occurring.
I’ll indulge you, but I’m afraid you won’t like my answer very much.
The reason authors and artists aren’t working their asses off MORE is because this is a pandemic, not a vacation.
It’s not ‘extra free time’ for everyone.
For many it’s ‘my grandfather just died of COVID’ time.
For many, it’s ‘I got laid off and am desperately trying to look for a way not to get evicted’ time.
For many, it’s ‘I’m isolated from my friends, family and other sources of inspiration, I’m at home alone trying to deal with the world at large collapsing’ time.
It’s time to go out and protest for their rights. It’s time to fall into a depression because they can’t pay for medicine, because they’re worried about a loved one with an immunodeficiency, because they have to decide whether to pay full tuition for taking classes online, which isn’t as easy to learn from and feels like a rip-off.
I feel like this needs to be reiterated - fanfiction and fanart USUALLY doesn’t pay. It’s a hobby. Most fanfic authors aren’t armcandy to a wealthy millionaire, and they can’t just ignore other important life necessities in order to keep updating their 50k coffeeshop AU. It’s not a viable career, and it will not keep you afloat. And while yes, many use it as an escape, many also can’t write when they aren’t safe, secure and know where their next paycheck is coming from.
So I’m not very surprised many creators are taking time away. They have lives, loved ones, other responsibilities, and at least one of those three is very likely a clusterfuck right now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Be kind. Always assume everyone is doing their best. You never know what someone else might be going through.
Reblog if you are still a fan of Guardians of Ga’Hoole
I’m looking for y’all cuz I feel lonely in the fandom. Don’t tell me I’m the only one who grew up still loving these owls.
I’m new here!
The Daemon quiz vs MBTI
https://app.ex.co/stories/laurenb90/what-is-your-daemon
https://www.16personalities.com/
After the TV show, His Dark Materials aired, a new daemon quiz has been introduced. It's beautiful and very well done, although it's meant just for entertainment.
On the other hand, MBTI is presented as "scientific" personality typology, and to me personally, it's almost like astrology. Why? Because even the most experienced psychologist can't figure out every single aspect of one's mind - so why would an online test succeed where nobody else did?
We got the MBTI quiz in 1942, and the goal was to asses the person's qualities to help to find an ideal career. Despite its current popularity, this assessment has certain limitations. The test is based on C.G.Jung's theories published before psychology became empiric science.
Secondly, it only describes the respondent in four dimension - Introvert/Extrovert, Intuition/Senses, Thinking/Feeling and Judging/Prospecting. The results can vary based on the time you take it - for example, I'm oscillating between INTJ/ENTJ based on how tired and fed up with people I am at the moment.
There are 16 results, while the daemon quiz has 285 outcomes. It's a primary problem in comparing these two things.
What was the point of my "research" (haha, a good one, Fritz) then? Trying to identify the possible correlation of the results of both - the Daemon quiz and MBTI.
Thanks, everyone who answered my question; here are the results:
INFP - owl, fox, wolverine
INTP - owl, anteater, bat, arachnid, armadillo
INFJ - owl
INTJ - fox, snow leopard, corvids, duck, buffalo, osprey
ISTP - Mongoose
ENFP - dogs (wild/domestic)
ENTP - armadillo
ENTJ - osprey
ESTP - butterfly
Obviously, these results are far from relevant, because I didn't have enough data. It's more than clear than the internet is full of introverts. The extroverts are somewhere outside instead of taking online quizzes. Naturally, the amount of answers is greatly affected by the respondents' literature preferences - the trilogy might be more appealing to the Intuitive types.
Most respondents I got were INTJ. As you can see, the results vary a lot. Like a lot.
Sorry to all the beautiful types, let's stick with INTJs for a little while. There are definitely more than 4 dimensions to describe the person, and each personality is defined by many aspects, such as overall attitude, curiosity, assertiveness, kindness... All the sides the MBTI completely disregards, while the daemon quiz tries to take them into consideration.
You can be an INTJ seeking challenges, but also you can prefer learning new things without taking risks. You can be a natural leader, whereas another INTJ prefers working in their projects alone.
In the end, the fan-created daemon quiz can tell you more about you than the popular MBTI.
I can finally answer my question: No. There are no relations between those quizzes, and my initial idea was utterly wrong. Sh*t happens, life goes on. At least I had some fun and satisfied my own curiosity.
PS: My daemon is an osprey. I’m happy, although it always makes that “WTF am I reading” expression.

“Seems to me, the place you fight cruelty is where you find it, and the place you give help is where you see it needed.”
-Lee Scoresby in Philip Pullman’s The Subtle Knife
Lee Scoresby and Hester are two of my favorite characters in fiction. I’ve been wanting to do more literature-inspired illustrations lately – more to come.
I love how on Hannibal there are no limits to the kind of fucked-up shit that could happen to people, but the show makes sure that we know that the dogs are all ok
types of healthy coping skills
1. self-soothing
comforting yourself through the 5 senses
Touch: stuffed animals, stress balls, taking a bath, a soft blanket
Hear: music, audio book, guided relaxation
See: snow globe, glitter, calming images, art, anything that pleases you visually
Taste: tea, mints, gum
Smell: lotion, candles, incense
2. distraction
removing your focus from the stressor for a period of time
puzzles, art, crafting, reading, movies, gaming, exercise, being social
3. opposite action
doing the opposite of the impulse that aligns with a positive emotion
affirmations, inspiration, lighthearted and encouraging focus
4. emotional awareness
identifying and constructively expressing what you’re feeling
journaling, listing emotions, using a emotional identification chart, drawing, therapy
5. mindfulness
centering and anchoring yourself to the present moment
meditation, guided relaxation, yoga, breathing exercises, candle gazing, going for a walk
6. ask for help
this is important to do when you feel like your coping skills are not enough or they are too negative and detrimental
therapy is ideal for helping a person create a healthy coping strategy and incorporate it into their life
*a coping skill is considered healthy if it helps you to deal with stress more positively, does not hinder your progress, and isn’t harmful physically or mentally. A coping skill can become negative when it is used to completely avoid dealing with the stressor.
These. These are two of the most powerful moments in the X-Men movies. This is how you define Magneto. A man scarred and impacted by what he endured in the camps. A man who endured the unendurable. I never saw him as a villain. I never saw him as a monster. I saw him as a man who wanted to do everything - to move heaven and earth - to keep his people safe.

Hermann is alive and doing very well!
fuck all philosophy except for whatever the hell Diogenes was trying to teach
direct action
How about just being polite & going into a debate with those who hold diffrent beliefs then you?
how about you eat my shit and hair
staying true to spirit
the OG of the vicious burn
Diógenes said you couldn’t spit anywhere but in the face of a rich man because once this rich dude invited him into his house and literally told him you can’t spit on anything that touches the floor so Diógenes spit in this guys face
here is a very good painting of Diógenes in his tub that i had the good fortune of actually seeing earlier this year
I love that Diogenes is making a comeback in the twenty-first century.
How are we?
Bad. My Hermann the hedgehog got sick.
On Sunday I took him to the vet and she diagnosed him with Urinal Tract Infection. Hopefully.
He got antibiotics and got pissed for it
Forcing him into eating pills without noticing them was impossible. He's worse than a dog.
We had to take additional measures.
And then he discovered urologic tea. That's disgusting for people. Hedgehogs enjoy it somehow.
He might be feeling better. Yesterday he ate.
He even shared steak with me
Wish my beloved hedgehog luck!
This is so wholesome
Update: he finally got the cat to the vet to see if she had a microchip
I was already on board with his sweet wholesome open-to-love-and-nurturing heart but I was fully unprepared for getting to that last tweet and seeing how off the hook HOT dude is
https://twitter.com/pariszarcilla?lang=en heres his twitter is here there is also additonal cat photos of his children.
CAT DAD IS BACK
aww, the kids grow up so fast. ;-;
HHHHHHHH I LOVE CAT DAD!
This is, by far, the single most adorable fucking thing I have ever seen.
update:
Yes
Absolutely
I feel so much better after seeing this picture so yes you must be

Love, Peace and Pokee - By Mr.Pokee
The Woman in black
Based on the horror movie from 2012. Created in MS Paint
there is something so sadly hilarious (saying it very lightly) about the events in czechoslovakia from around 1960 to 21.8.1968… because its basically
Soviet union: So we are making stop to this whole Stalin thing and also less forced labor and gulags for you. YAY!
Czechoslovakia: well thats mighty nice of you…
Soviet union: But now we have brought you NEW SOVIET MODEL OF INDUSTRIALIZATION AND ECONOMY!
Czechoslovakia: You know we are actually pretty developed and we had all of this if not better even before WWII?
Soviet union: That sounds fake.. ANYWAY! Our system is way better than yours and it will work AND YOU WILL BE GRATEFUL.
Czechoslovakia: Ok Thanks..I think we should ignore you.. make some movies, write some books and print some newspapers.
…
Czechoslovakia: *after some thinking and writing* Liberalization would be nice..also remember that time when we were free democratic republic? maybe we should peacefully bring it back.. .. Hey Soviet union do you think we might leave Eastern Bl-
Soviet union: TANKS!
Czechoslovakia: Wha-
Soviet union: TANKS!! BECAUSE YOU ARE DOING A REVOLUTION! THERE ARE FIGHTS! THERE ARE FIRES! ITS HORRIBLE!
Czechoslovakia: *suddenly occupied by over 250 000 soviet troops* There was no such thing? whats happening…Arent we allied country?
soviet troops: WE ARE HERE TO DEFEAT THE COUNTERREVOLUTION AND TO SAVE YOU, DEAR CITIZENS! YOU MAY THROW PETALS AND CHEER FOR US!
Czechoslavakian citizens: Nah we are doing fine..you can go home…
soviet troops: But what about socialism? You are deviating from it!
Czechoslovakian citizens: I think you have been misinformed, we still have it.. Bye!
soviet troops: So why are we here?
Czechoslovakian citizens: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
soviet troops: …
Czechoslovakia: *maybe if we repaint or turn street signs they will eventually lead themselves away by getting lost… And even if that wont work we might start with self immolation…that will discourage them..
Soviet union: You are so going to get 1984ed for this..
Today its exactly 50 years from the start of the “friendly soviet help” invasion n occupation (military presence staying untill 1991) , which had over 425 dead and way more injured on the side of Czechoslavakia….and 12 presumed dead “real” soldiers on the soviet side.. (There was only one where we know the case of death and name of the soldier and it was some drunk bulgarian deserter who hitchhiked a gully emptier and the drivers killed him with hammer and stole his submachine gun)… Its still pretty awful and uneven numbers considering we were supposed to be at peace with the soviet union…
