Stew spelled backwards is wets, and I think that's beautiful
hewwo!
I adore ur lil creatures and was wondering if you've ever tried to make a plush of them?
I'm not asking to buy, just curious about dinosaur :3
Hello!
No, I've never had any interest in plush toys.
I did once make this creature though. It is NOT a dinosaur, it's a monster, and it's got a wire armature inside.
I wasn't super happy with how it turned out and it lives on a bookshelf at my parents house. I would like to make another similar thing someday, with dragon wings.
also this monster hasn't got a name, but it's very similar to Fancy Geraldine. It's not Fancy Geraldine though because she has an antenna.
If I'd remembered to add an antenna at the armature stage before doing the fabric wrapping then perhaps it would be Fancy Geraldine, but alas. nameless bareheaded monster.
It's clearly a Plain Geraldine
There is a fantasy series I really want to read, but I think it might not exist, and I might have to write it.
The setting takes inspiration from the bronze age collapse, and the early iron age.
The great bronze age cities were filled with magic and non-human (elf/fae archetypes), who used to dominate the world, with humans being either more nomadic and hunter gatherer or subjugated by the great magic empires.
At some point these collapsed, perhaps connected to the rising use of iron, and the growing population of humans, and the cities were abandoned.
The story would follow humans starting in a largely non-magic early iron age village, several human generations after the cities were abandoned. The human societies are scattered and either pastoral or agricultural with the archetypal dark forest full of monsters between (or at least that's what the human myths say), and the cities are crumbling, mysterious ruins that the people tell stories about.
The magic is relegated to pockets of survivors taking refuge in the forests/mountains between the human societies. This takes inspiration from traditional fae mythology, or trolls and kobolds and such.
Does a book like this exist, or do I have to write it?
(bonus, is there a tabletop game system that would lend itself to this sort of low magic setting?)
I've been off of Tumblr for several years. What's it like here now?
Wow haven’t uploaded anything in ages ^^;
my interpretations of laura and taliesin’s descriptions! apologies for the messy sketches! :’) which outfit would you most want to wear?
(edit: also yes, there is no pirate hat I’m sorry!! maybe in a future drawing!)
Just.. Suit..
Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) dir. Stewart Raffill
An evil scientist implants the brain of Michael (Paul Walker), a murdered high school student, into a Tyrannosaurus. He escapes, wreaks vengeance on his high school tormentors, and is reunited with his sweetheart Tammy (Denise Richards).
…..I’m sorry what?
I was so proud of myself for recognizing a picture of Cara Delevigne without any context.
Sigh
did cinderella ever talk to her man about his faceblindness
#'i met the perfect woman but it was a special occasion'#'so now wherever she is her makeup and hair are probably different'#'this is my nightmare'
rip prince charming, who had to let the whole kingdom make jokes about his foot fetish for the rest of his life because every blonde with an updo looks basically the same as far as he can tell
they call him prince charming because he’s always really polite to strangers to cover for the fact that he doesn’t know if he’s supposed to recognize them from somewhere and when you’re a prince that shit starts wars
It me!
while being bisexual doesn’t make you a slut, i want it to be abundantly clear that i am bisexual and definitely a slut
the athiesm of women/people of color/lgbt people is absolutely different than the athiesm of cishet white men and i feel like people forget that a lot
how?
Don’t have spoons for long explanation - also this is only speaking for christianity - but religion has been a force of oppression for women, people of color, and lgbt+ people and the rejection of the religion is often coupled with the rejection of how religion treats them.
I’ll also say that abuse survivors are included in this because it is a reaction to and an attempt to reconcile how (christian) god would allow abuse to happen.
For straight white men atheism is usually rooted in intellectual and rational superiority complexes. It’s a “i am more rational and intelligent than you, how can you believe in something so obviously fake” thing as opposed to a reaction to a societal institution that upholds their oppression and abuse.
Women, PoC, Queer people, immigrants, trauma survivors, etc: How can I believe in something that teaches you to be cruel? How can I trust the books that tell me of peace and love, when you use your faith to hurt me? How can a loving god allow [insert injustice of the day]?
White Men: I, as an Intellectual, eschew silly superstitions that say I might, someday, after my death, face one (1) single consequence.
I’ve noticed this a whole lot, and it’s very true.
As a white cis man, who left religion when I still thought I was straight, it was always about cruelty to me. It was me seeing the world, and seeing how dehumanizing religion was, even if *I* was theoretically in the clear. I couldn't support that kind of thinking anymore.

2020s too. Make it so.
Homoerotic Subtext - or maybe not?
Popular media is full of homoerotic subtext, there is no doubt about that. Dean and Castiel, Colline and Schaunard, Sherlock and Watson, all male superheroes and each other. (Can’t name any female characters though…)
Top Gun. (When I mentioned Homoerotic Subtext to my friend, he simply responded, “Top Gun”)
Top Gun is kind of the poster child for homoerotic subtext, and there is no doubt that Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer have great chemistry
And that the primary story is a love triangle between Goose, Maverick, and Ice-Man.
But that’s not what people talk about.
People talk about “The Volleyball Scene”
And while this scene is undeniably erotic, what exactly makes it homoerotic?
If we were to substitute women in this scene, nothing would be considered homoerotic about it at all.
With women sexualized in the same way, doing essentially the same thing, it is not considered homoerotic. It is somewhere on a line from sexy to exploitative, depending on how you feel about such things.
Now let’s look at advertising.
This is a classic J.C. Leyendecker illustration, showing a man in an almost unbelievable sexual manner, by modern standards. This is almost universally considered homoerotic, and Leyendecker is an icon of “gay art.” (okay, Leyendecker was gay, but that’s not terribly relevant, as this was mainstream advertising)
But what if we put a woman in a similar ad for a similar product?
Nothing homoerotic about that. That’s just good, old fashioned exploitation of the female form so sell things with sexuality.
Why are sexualized men viewed as “homoerotic”?
My best guess is that because film and advertising (and most things) are historically male dominated fields, the assumption is that what we are viewing is the male gaze. So, when men are portrayed in a sexual manner, it is assumed that they are being shown that way by men, for men. Images of women are assumed heteroerotic for the same reason to the extent that even images of women engaging in homosexual behavior are viewed as heteroerotic.
I suspect this is also part of why it’s so easy to find examples of homoerotic subtext among men in media, but similar examples among women are rare. (Though the under representation of women in media, and the social acceptance of female homosocial intimacy must also play a part.)
Any thoughts on this? More examples? Disagree? Want to write a follow up post on female homoerotic subtext or some other tangent?
So, this little mini-essay was flagged as explicit and hidden. I appealed, and I don't know if anyone can see it, but it reminded me that I wrote this thing.
Any thoughts? I, amazingly am not cringing reading it now, but I would love some discussion on the subject.
Victor refusing to make the Monster a wife because he was worried they’d breed is such a cop out. Like, you’re cobbling together body parts from charnel houses. You can just not give her any ovaries. You can just spay her like a cat. Why are you this dumb Victor. You’re a doctor.
the implication that victor spend weeks giving the monster a working dick is also extremely weird
Something to remember is that Victor didn’t just give the monster a working dick! He wanted his creation to be made of the best parts of men-it’s why the monster is made up of so many different pieces rather than one fresh corpse, why he’s so large, and why Victor is disappointed that he isn’t beautiful.
So, what does this mean? It means that Victor looked at the dicks of various corpses, testing not only to make sure they work, but also to find what he considered to be the best corpse dick. Does this mean the monster was extremely hung? Or did Victor simply pick the dick that seemed most attractive to him? Did he memorize the appearance of the dicks, or did he line them up to compare?
We’ll never know, because the original story never touches on the subject, and it’s one of the few flaws in Mary Shelley’s work.
I know I started this conversation but I’m so sorry I did
Considering we know who Mary Shelley was spending time around I guarantee this was a CONVERSATION that she actively and adamantly refused to actually include in the text
Just to chime in... Victor was not a doctor. He was a damn undergraduate dropout. He is exactly the same level of stupid as all those guys on your hall freshman year who took one class and thought they knew everything.
