love how when angel turns back to angelus in season 2, spike is like “uuh nice, my friend angelus“ and then it only takes him like a day to go “wait a minute! i hate that bitch“

I think I can finally pin the difference between Mistborn Eras at least for me.
Era 1: ah yes Ruin a divine horror beyond my comprehension, nothing I can do about it's just inevitable.
Era 2: motherfuckers are doing man made horrors(nuclear bombs) that I can fully comprehend, unfortunately my mind can't simply ignore it
I love it when the Buffy writers give characters painfully ironic names. Glory for a god who's fallen from grace and no longer has the status she's used to. Harmony for a mean girl who constantly judges others. Faith for a girl who no longer trusts anyone on Earth let alone any kind of higher power. Dawn for a girl whose beginnings turned out to be completely false. Scott Hope for a character who makes me feel nothing but despair anytime he shows up. Really incredible stuff.
i know they’re already not dating at that point but one of the cutest moments between spike and drusilla (in my opinion) is in season 5 when drusilla comes back to sunnydale and harmony tells her “you have some nerve coming back here! after breaking my boo-boo‘s heart“ and drusilla just looks at spike and silently mouths “boo-boo?“. overlooked.
Most fandoms recommending media: yeah you should check this out it’s pretty good
Buffy fans recommending Buffy: omg I love Buffy except for the racism, the misogyny, the occasional homophobia, the way sexual assault’s handled, a couple episodes I personally hate, David Boreanaz’s Irish accent and also the fact that Joss Whedon killed my entire family. You gotta watch Buffy though. You gotta.

I think we should get an after the credits scene in the Hero of Ages movie that’s just TenSoon curling up at the feet of Vin’s statue
Your true love is locked in a tower by an evil god king.
You do the Knight in Shining Armor thing and storm the castle to rescue her.
You find her. She's in a severe state of undress. Her butler is also there.
You try to get her to leave with you, she refuses and immediately starts killing her captors with a combination of magic and shocking brutality.
She tells you how happy she is to see you and kisses you. She is still severely underdressed and isn't listening to you telling her to get dressed.
She tells you to get somewhere safe because she needs to go kill God. She says her butler will keep you safe.
She ends up killing God
You are now the ruler of the realm because your girlfriend killed God.
You are Elend Venture on the final night of the Final Empire.
Finally read Mistborn
Backpack is so so eepy.
how is such a big old creature also so incredibly baby???
89 Backpack got too excited yesterday and uhhhh this happened. 10/10 no notes
obviously bigotry isnt rational but "women are naturally worse at spatial reasoning and math" is a wild opinion to have when women have historically been the primary textile producers in a lot of societies. have you ever seen a tablet weaving pattern
do you have any idea how much calculus goes into making a new sewing pattern. how much math goes into knitting. it's amazing.
Have you seen lacemaking in action?
I will always bring up the connection between textile manufacturing and our modern computers when I can.
This is jacquard fabric:
For much of its existence, the fabric had to painstakingly handwoven due to the complexity of the motifs that characterised jacquard weaves.
In 1804, the Jacquard punch card was patented, which enabled manufacture to be done at a fraction of the speed:
However, the above cards inspired a connection between the mathematic patterning of the jacquard cards and the idea of a precursor to our modern computers, by none other than Ada Lovelace.
There are similar concepts underpinning other forms of needlework/handicrafts - needle lace and bobbin lace is made to pattern sheets that were originally done by hand, before becoming digitised such as in the Leavers Lace machine.
This is genuinely a fascinating rabbit hole to go down and I highly recommend researching it. Math is the foundation of so much of sewing, needlework, and tailoring, and should be understood as an intrinsic part of those crafts.
This! Is exactly what I do!
I'm the head of the Outreach Committee at my fiber arts guild (as well as being vice president) and while we ALSO do demonstrations at historical events, my focus has been bringing in the connections between Fiber Arts and STEM subjects, ESPECIALLY at schools!
Last spring, for example, a nearby middle school had a STEM day and invited us, so I went to the school and set up a display of various Fiber Arts tools and materials, all of which I could use, and a prompt by each one explaining how it uses math or relates to science or whatever, with notes/script I had written out for myself to explain how each one is connected. (The pictures I've included are from the same setup at a different event; I'm not putting up pictures with middle schoolers in them and I didn't catch any before/after.) I had:
A display of silk in different forms ("hankies" or unspun stretched out cocoons, handspun yarn from hankies, rough spun yarn from leftovers, beautiful slippery shiny reeled-and-thrown yarn) and a story about how sick silkworms led to research by Agostino Bassi and his very early work on the Germ Theory, who inspired Louis Pasteur, who inspired Joseph Lister (Science, particularly medical science)
An 8-shaft table loom, with a set of simple punch cards showing how a Jacquard loom would work, and how those punch cards inspired Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace and how the more complex punch cards were widely used right up through the 60's and 70's (Technology)
A spinning wheel, with a mark on one side of the large wheel so you can see when it had made a complete circle, a bobbin that spun faster, and a discussion on how gearing ratios change the work you do (Engineering)
A display of knitting projects, with a book on fitting different motifs together; for instance, if you have a motif that repeats every 24 stitches, it would be best if your sweater was a multiple of 24 stitches around. But what if you also have a motif that repeats every 7 stitches and another motif that repeats every 15 stitches? This book gets around that problem by having EVERY motif be 24 stitches, but it still brings up the issue. Also, a pair of socks with a ball of similar yarn next to them, so we can talk about different ways to estimate whether or not you've got the right amount of yarn to make another pair of socks. (Math)
As a bonus, an interactive set of drop spindles attached to already-spun yarn, so the kids could spin them themselves without having to worry about messing up the yarn or dropping the spindles on the floor. The spindles were different weights and sizes, so the kids could see how that affected the length of time the spindles would spin. (more Science - physics this time!)
I didn't even get into the math of warping a loom, which usually takes me a couple of pages of scribbling notes and calculations, multiplying by ends-per-inch, adjusting for percentage of shrinkage and percentage of take-up and how much loom waste to allow, and margins of error, and stuff like that.
Oooh I SHOULD'VE brought my tablet loom. I'll have to work that one in.
Blue dress Vin
More Mistborn :)
⚠️ Minor Spoilers! These are out of context and only loosely based off of things that happen in the books, but I figured they needed a warning still.
Vin and the kandra dog she didn’t want
He’s so supportive of her daily murder activities. Bless him
ERA 2:
Marasi, Wax, and Ranette. This is their ritual. This is something they do. They stand in the Field of Rebirth and lament that the Ascendant Warrior never held a gun. No one can convince me otherwise.
You can probably guess which gun Wax brings with him each time.
“You either die an Ascendant Warrior or live long enough to see yourself become a marketable Soonie Pup, Wax.”
It’s been over two years since I’ve posted on here but… I bring Vin Mistborn
More of both Era 1 and Era 2 art to come :) maybe also some Stormlight
