the Blog of Frontiers (tm)

A randomy, rambley blog with a healthy mix of fandoms, science, and art. 100% percent free of nastiness. A valuable part of a well-balanced dashboard. I (sometimes) write fanfic on AO3 here.

edit: this post is a severely different experience with the sound on

Nature is incredible, you can really see just at a quick glance how these evolved to speak together in rhyming riddles while performing a spooky dance, laughing at you because they're The Wee Creatures Three and you will Never Get Their Key.

being an everything crafter is great but also sucks. like i want to get my watercolors out but i need to put away my microcrochet first. i want to do some leatherwork but my oil paints are on the table. i want to whittle but i'm using the bucket i catch wood shavings in to hold my papermaking mush. i want to write my book but my hands are too busy knitting a sweater. i want to code another video game but i'm too busy studying nalebinding. do you see my problem. the problem is that i need more hands

This is how I realized i was neurodivergent. My diagnosis of ADHD shocked no one.

what is it that they say? a young man asks the sage why there are no longer dragons. the old man says "dragons are the same. something happened to your eyes"

Friend in an alleyway | my wife sent me this photo the other day and said "you HAVE to draw this." and I agreed completely <:

i've said it before and i'll say it again, but it's really neat how similar wen ning's and lan xichen's rants (at jc or wwx respectively) are

a usually reserved and mild-mannered character

going apeshit for the first time

on behalf of their loved one

who, as they think, is being horribly mistreated by the target of their rant

(even though the loved one endured some great hardship for the sake of the target in the past)

and so despite knowing that the target isn't aware of their loved one's suffering

(and the speaker themselves being involved in inflicting that suffering)

"WELL THEY SHOULD FUCKING KNOW ABOUT IT, THEN"

they deliver the truth in the most accusational way possible

to make the target feel bad and leave their loved one alone and stop causing them harm

while, crucially, not knowing that the target cared about their loved one just as much

and, whether or not it was their goal or they just wanted to hit someone with a steel chair, resolve a decade-and-a-half old misunderstanding between the target and their loved one

[sleepy-salami]

"he'll never tell and you'll never ask, FINE THEN I'M DOING IT" is such a funny character motivation too. not their circus but they've had fucking enough of the monkeys

i felt like these tags really added to the experience, thanks @cynderxdustypaws for your knowledge

[trans-joy-is]

[ID: tags reading: okay first off her blue roan is fucking gorgeous # secondly. I want to point out that the video is misleading # that isn't just a gallop # that's a full run # also she isn't JUST riding bareback on that sprinting horse she is ALSO riding liberty # if you look at the horse's face and neck it isn't wearing a bridle and there isn't a bit to be seen # this rider is depending on body position leg pressure and that single rope circle around the horse's neck # to steer and communicate slowing down and stopping # not only is this an amazing coming out video it's also displaying what a skilled rider she is. /End ID]

happy pride month everyone! have a wyll 💛🏳️‍⚧️

my commissions are open! dm me for details

[wizardarchetypes]

anyway every time i post about ocd people start tagging the post like "wait this isn't normal?" and i always like to remind people that intrusive thoughts are normal. pretty much everyone experiences them. "what if i jumped off this balcony?" "what if i crashed my car right now for no reason?" "what if i yelled a curse word in the middle of this wedding?" everyone thinks these things from time to time. it's disordered thinking when the distress starts becoming intolerable.

"am i normal" is not as helpful question to ask as "are intrusive thoughts causing me frequent distress?" and "would my life be better if i could find a way to feel less distress/learn to tolerate the distress?"

millions and millions of people have ocd. having ocd is normal. you're normal. but what if you could feel better? what if living everyday in your own mind and body could be tolerable? is that something you want? need? these are questions to ask.

I have an announcement. It was me, I was putting the chemicals in the water that make the frogs gay. The chemicals was actually Dr Pepper. The frogs were already gay but the Dr Pepper made them gayer. I am not sorry.

“you’re such a ray of sunshine!” thanks! one day i chose to act happy and then i kept choosing it over and over and over and over until the neurological pathways formed like desire paths in the thicket. i dug and clawed my nails into the grooves of my brain and carved out joy. i retouch it every day.
