Cosmere Inktober Day 4: Portal

The Oathgate spren, it was the only related to portal that I remember well.

[devinellekurtz]

The first god children to know of are Ailbe and Edna, the blackbird wolves. Twin sisters, similar in appearance but very different in power. Ailbe, six minutes older, excels in the magic of sight. Children in the blackbird clan often have the ability to see through the eyes of the many crows that circle Shepherd’s Valley, however none can see quite so clearly as Ailbe. Edna, younger and faster, is the expert of the other blackbird child ability: obfuscation. Not quite invisibility, but a shield of misperception that allows her to travel undetected.

“sexuality is a spectrum” was supposed to mean “bisexuality exists and isn’t necessarily a 50/50 split” not “no one is actually homosexual”

[dyspunktional]

hey I’m sure that this post has some valid point but op is a terf

[how-to-train-your-writer]

Isn’t it amazing how knowing op is a terf changes the way the post reads?

[bibraincells]

it doesnt change SHIT but you guys have such trouble understanding that sex =/= gender and that homosexual people exists and that words have meaning. some sexuality does not include a group of people and that is not bigoted!

[how-to-train-your-writer]

M’kay, darling.

[bibraincells]

i dont know if you think youre being smart or sassy and i really shouldn’t bother replying but

“no one is saying you have to be attracted to or date trans people” is SO fucking funny because they literally never shut up about it i cant count how many “you dont have to be attracted to trans people but that means youre transphobic and bigoted” i have read. like im not gonna attempt to reply to everything else you said because youre not gonna try do any kind of thinking but this is just blatant lie

also yall need to find your own appropriate word to use because being gay/lesbian is for exclusively same sex attracted people. but im gonna assume you will ignore this too because you think everyone should be able to use whatever word they like or want bc yall dumb like that with no respect to actual same sex attracted people.

[how-to-train-your-writer]

“I’m going to nitpick this wording and ignore the actual point you made because I don’t have a counter to that and it’s fucking obvious.”

Alright, fine. Rephrase, I’m not saying you have to be attracted to or interested in trans people. I really don’t give a single shit about your personal life or what qualifications play in to who you choose to pursue. Also, I know a shitload of CIS people who don’t care about trans people calling themselves gay/lesbian. In fact, I know more cis LESBIANS who don’t give a shit (and actually find the likes of your side abhorrent) than ones who do. 

And disregarding that entirely, I don’t really give a shit about that EITHER because my point was actually about CIS GAY PEOPLE who date trans people and choose to call themselves gay. Of which I know MANY because I’m actually involved in this community outside of tumblr. I go out and meet people in person and shake their hands and get to know them. So sorry that one shrieking banshee on tumblr isn’t going to change my mind or persuade me to change my stance.

this is gross of course but I'm stuck on the implication that men Need to see penis in the bathroom or it's a human rights violation

[bax16]

I go to the dick room, I expect to see dicks. Else I go apeshit

[shoelace-and-friends]

There are stalls in the lady’s room. They are designed to make it so that you can’t see people or their genitals when they use the toilet. 

What does this bitch even do to make sure there aren’t dicks around? 

bust people’s stalls open for inspection? 

“PENIS CHECK!!!!” *invades your privacy and knocks down the stall door while you’re taking a piss* 

transphobes have no brain cells 

[how-to-train-your-writer]

I think they means like... locker rooms? Changing room.

But still. Trans people aren't going into public changing rooms and revealing themselves that's 1) how you get hate crimed and 2) UM DYSPHORIA INDUCING AS ALL HECK the thing this person is trying to protect themselves and "the children" from is a thing that does not actually happen

Even when I was at the beach in OREGON with my sister, I used women's public restrooms. It might have been Oregon, but I'm not risking an encounter with a dickwipe like the one in this screenshot. Do I look like I belong in the women’s bathroom? No. Have I had women come in, see me, and assume they were in the wrong bathroom because I was standing by the sink? Yeah. A few times, actually. But my voice is still high enough that it's easy for me to “prove” I'm biologically female if I have to. It’s safer for me that way.

I love being a fully fledged adult who has a job and washes his clothes and sheets regularly and knows how to cook for himself and has a regular sleep schedule and walks his dog every day.

This isn’t a joke. I’m tired of posts that treat functioning adulthood like an impossible standard. Those are out. Respecting yourself and striving to learn to be independant is in.

[moli-imoli-deactivated20210418]

i’m really over the idea that customers deserve unconditional respect from employees like nah bitch you deserve back the exact amount of respect you enter the store with. you throw a tantrum in public? you deserve to be escorted out in front of everyone and i hope it’s humiliating for you. you try to come in after close and don’t take “we’re closed” as an answer? you deserve to be told to leave and ignored. you insult the people providing services to you? you deserve to be refused service. if you don’t behave like a damn adult with impulse control and basic compassion, no one personally owes you a fucking thing my dude

[fumblebeefae]

We need to better educate kids on the importance of animals that are typically hated because otherwise you end up with adults who think hating wasps is a personality.

[aromantic-eight]

Trufax: hatred of wasps is so widespread that it’s prevalent among biologists as well. An entire field full of people getting excited about species that nobody else has heard of, and many have collectively decided that wasps don’t need to be researched, even though they’re threatened by the same things that are threatening bees, and disappearance of wasps will spell bad things for the number of pests found in gardens and farms.

[tinysaurus-rex-deactivated20240]

I have a friend wasp named Queeny. She built her nest on a really inconvenient area where I often dump my birds’ uneaten seed or shake towels out. She would come out angrily and buzz at us, ready to defend her home from the strange giants.

Queeny didn’t know that it was our porch she built her home on, she saw a nice ledge and decided that it was a suitable spot to begin her life as a lone female.

So instead of removing the nest and poisoning her with bug spray, you know what I did? I moved the area where I dump my things and started feeding her. I would tap three times on the railing before leaving a treat like fruit, honey, dog food, or pesky beetles I find in my garden, then move away to give them lots of space. At first she would buzz out, wings spread and ready to fight, but after doing this for just a few days…she stopped!

Now when she comes out, it’s slowly and non-threatingly. She tilts her head at me before gingerly inspecting the offerings. She doesn’t threaten my mom any more either, she’s learned that we mean no harm. We’ve started using that ledge to shake sheets out and dump bird seed and she doesn’t mind at all! She just watches quietly.

She even has a family now! Five daughters and one lad- a husband or son, not sure which lmao -who greet us the same, she must’ve taught them that we’re not enemies (or they just grew up used to us). They even protect my garden, since Queeny’s family has grown the invasive Japanese beetle population has plummeted! They really are delightful neighbors.

To do list:

Befriend some wasps

[how-to-train-your-writer]

I’ve always heard those “all animals are good, except wasps are the spawn of satan” jokes and kind of nodded along before one day I just. Realized. I’ve never had a negative run-in with any wasps. Ever. Usually when one is nearby, it approaches me, buzzes around exactly like a bee would, and then leaves me alone. 

Here’s a fun fact: There are no animals or creatures out there at all who will just attack you or anyone else for the sake of attacking you. Starting unnecessary fights is the fastest way to get yourself killed in the wild, and any species that widely fought everything around it for sport would have already driven itself extinct. If something is attacking for seemingly “for no reason,” chances are there IS a reason. That reason might be disease, it might be personal space, or it might be that the animal felt threatened. 

Just because you don’t immediately know what the reason for that behavior is doesn’t mean there’s not one.

Harry Potter and the Bisexual Awakening - Part One of Three (Part 2+3) A very slight adjustment to That Scene featuring a smol grumpy Harry and a tol, very helpful Cedric. (And a dodgy use of the dialogue from the movie mostly, too)

This maybe sounds a little harsh and I know it’s tempting but… don’t spend money on gacha games. Don’t. Don’t ever. Don’t even start. I’m perfectly aware that they’re all deliberately set up to incline you to spend money on them but I promise you even if you DO get what you’re whaling for it will not be worth the $100+ you spent on it.

[kokkuri3]

Every time I see jokes made about spending money on gacha games my stress level goes through the roof. Spending $100 on a video game is considered a lot when the $100 gets you the game in its entirety, including DLC. A lot of people don’t bat an eye at gacha purchases though, even though you get considerably less out of it. Gacha is gambling except the win is always worth much less than what you’ve paid, and thus even less justified. If you are genuinely tempted to spend any amount of money on gacha, stop playing them. Just drop them entirely. It is not worth it.

I just discovered foodtimeline.org, which is exactly what it sounds like: centuries worth of information about FOOD.  If you are writing something historical and you want a starting point for figuring out what people should be eating, this might be a good place?

OH HELLO

[gayvampiretown]

One day Edward gets a call from Jacob and he’s like “DUDE TURN ON GHOST ADVENTURES RIGHT NOW THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT YOU” and they’re in an old “haunted” Chicago hospital and Zak Bagans says “one of the victims of the Spanish influenza was a seventeen year old boy named Edward who disappeared with no trace one day. Will we come into contact with his spirit tonight?” And Edward of course has to sit down and watch the whole thing and every time they hear anything they’re like “EDWARD? IS THAT YOU?” And Edward just yells at the screen “YEAH, MAYBE”

The family eventually gets a whiteboard to keep track of how many times they’ve each been featured on a ghost hunting show. Alice is in the lead.

The Twilight Renaissance is not what I expected in 2019 but you know what? Fine.

[fieryartemispublications]

You know the amount of shit that people come up with on this site about Twilight just makes me realize how robbed we were of its potential.

Think of it. Instead of Bella and Edward’s shitty romance, we could’ve had a story about the new girl in town realizing that her new neighbors being vampires is the least weird thing about them.
