Theoretically...

AROMANTICISM. YOU AGREE. REBLOG

[razzafrazzle]

pet peeve that happens more often than you would both think and want

[image description: a four panel comic of a blank grey person, a blank blue person, and the artist's sona, doc, an axolotl with glasses. in panel 1, doc and the grey person are looking at the blue person, who is saying "hi i am male character with a complex about my identity. i am miserable and forcing myself to be something i'm not. transgender imagery keeps being associated with me especially in scenes where i'm most sad and/or angry about my identity, which is male. even if i hate it. even if it's painful." in panel 2, doc is thinking of an egg over a trans flag while the grey person says "omg transmasc king". in panel 3, doc's thought bubble pops as he quickly looks over at the grey person with a baffled expression. in panel 4, doc, still baffled, looks back over to the blue person, who is saying "i cannot stress enough that i am so unhappy with who i currently am and who i currently am is male". end id]

DO NOT COME TO THE US FOR TOURISM!!!!!!

U.S. to mandate checks of some tourists' social media history from past 5 years

Tourists from countries including Britain, Japan, France, and Australia will now be expected to provide their social media history to visit

Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan

Plan would apply to countries not currently required to get visas to the US, including Britain and France

I'm imagining a language developed entirely within the universe of Minecraft. Like treating minecraft and its game mechanics as a world yknow. So there'd be no gendered pronouns, right? Because there is no biological sex within species, any two of the same mob can breed, all chickens lay eggs, there is no identifiable males or females in any way. I like to think that there would still be grammatical "gender" in the language, it'd just be based on a different wide grouping of characteristics that conveys important information. For example:

Grammatical genders of passive, neutral, and hostile. Like how they sort the mobs in-game. Cows, fish, villagers, all referred to with the passive pronoun. Zombies and stuff with hostile. Mobs like endermen and golems, you refer to with neutral by default, or if you're encountering a being you're not sure about the aggression levels of. Obviously, pigmen would have an entirely different language, being isolated in the nether, which would just make it more difficult to land on a pronoun for them, given their aggression levels vary so much. Like, what, you only refer to them with neutral pronouns if you're wearing gold? The cultural clashing there would be a lot.

And then, like languages in the real world that apply grammatical gender to EVERY noun, this categorization could be applied to objects as well. Fire is hostile. Trees are passive. You stub your toe on a block of cobble so you yell at the inanimate object with hostile pronouns, it attacked you! Refer to your friends with passive pronouns as a show of affection. Refer to yourself with hostile pronouns to convey you're gonna beat someone up. Options are limitless.

i really do believe that the answer to a lot of people's self hatred is not to try and reassure them that they are wonderful and okay and enough, but instead to remind them theyre a completely unremarkable regular ass person who is not the center of the universe or especially important so why would they expect themselves to be some superhuman savior. like there really is a kernel of out of control self importance at the heart of thinking youre an evil lazy piece of shit. because why would you expect you be anything but just like some guy. if you wouldnt expect the guy who works at the vape shop or your mailman or whatever to be able to do something then why would you expect yourself to? youre just some random ass person. its fine

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG thread from when I made these a year ago were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

The existence of the winter solstice is a great thing in principle because misery really is easier to bear when you know for a fact that it won't last forever, but the fact that it's on a precise timetable makes it weird. Knowing that it's going to keep on getting steadily worse for exactly nine days and fourteen hours and not a moment longer creates some strange behavioural incentives, is what I mean to say.

[prokopetz]

We can joke all we like about how weird this or that midwinter tradition is, but sitting here clockwatching the turning of the fucking heavens, I get it. Putting a horse skull on top of your head and running around randomly challenging your neighbours to rap battles until they give you free booze to make you go away is a completely rational response.

McCalls Pikachu Plush 2512 Sewing Pattern

This thing has been out of print for like, 26 years and some of us want to make chubby classic pikachu so uh... I figure it's okay to share bc it's kinda hard to get your hands on the remaining physical copies.

Bonus points: Aelith made some embroidery/applique files for it too
