Work in progress

Hey, I'm Karen - recent college grad, not quite sure what I'm doing with this whole 'real life' thing. I post a lot of cross stitch, various shows, books, and cats - see my tags page for more details. I tend to post things on a queue, so just because my page is updating doesn't mean I'm online. If you see multiple things in a row, then I'm probably here. Feel free to chat or ask me anything :)

POUR ONE OUT FOR COMRADE OPPORTUNITY 

and send a thank you postcard to the Opportunity team for all their hard work!

[mytearsrricochet]

this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

[life-isnotaparagraph]

I don't normally comment on posts but this is making me irrationally angry so here we are. NASA/JPL didn't abandon Oppy - they did everything in their power to save her and waited MONTHS to finally admit that her battery was dead and she couldn't be revived. 'Abandon' implies that they were like, 'eh, the robot isn't working 100% correctly anymore so we're not going to bother fixing it.' NASA tried communicating with her until the last possible moment and it broke their hearts that she's finally dead (15 years after she got to Mars, might I mention, when her expected lifespan was 90 days).

Hey what’s up, that HTTYD 3 poster got me fucked up

So this official poster has been released for How To Train Your Dragon 3 and it has left me with… opinions. 

My first initial reaction was excitement! Oh hell yeah HTTYD 3 is coming out! I adored the first two! But then i saw…

SIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHHHHH I knew immediately that this was most likely a female night fury and fuck yeah shit fuck it is which is so disappointing. I could write a huge essay on how female characters are portrayed in media. I could write a massive blog about smurfette syndrome and how female characters are always just a pink, soft version of their male counterparts, or how female animal or anthro characters still have to fall into society’s beauty standards so we do crazy things like give ducks tits or large eyelashes. 

I COULD talk about why these things occur, and how this is a worrying reflection of how society views human females, that males are the default and females are the other… but I’m not going to do that TODAY.

Hi my name is India and not only do I have an animation degree, but I also have a degree in animal and veterinary science.

This design doesn’t just insult me as an animator. This design insults me as a scientist. 

Let’s begin.

Whenever Hagrid finally decides to retire as Care of Magical Creatures professor you can bet your last knut that Charlie Weasley flies back to England the following week excitedly waving his resume and recommendation letters from no less than two Scamanders and the Minister of Magic, Hermione Granger.

[lost-in-a-wizarding-world]

I’m pretty sure he would also have recommendation letters from Rubeus Hagrid, the retiring professor, Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived and a very confusing one from Puddlemere United player, Oliver Wood, saying that he was one of the best Seekers he had ever seen.

[girlwhohas-everything]

Not to mention the fact that he flies back to England not on a broomstick or any other normal form of transportation, but landing on the Hogwarts grounds on the back of the largest dragon anyone has ever seen.
