Bear religion probably fucking rocks. You're a fucking bear, you're the deadliest thing on earth, once a year an endless supply of salmon just flings itself up the river to gorge on and then you nap for 3 months.
The most delicious food in the world is protected by tiny demons who can defend it from everyone except you. Your natural armor is thick enough that you can just eat the damn hive while they buzz around you. God's chosen animals right there
Regular bears tell stories of angel bears sent by the Bear God, pure white and twice as strong as any normal bear could be, who rule the summit of the Earth and kill all who stand in their path.
And they are right, those bears exist and totally do that. Humans just have fake angels as a cope.
love the idea of bears being the chosen species actually. having a near death experience and glimpsing heaven and realising it's just full of bears, no humans at all, humans not ensouled actually, humans an accidental byproduct of God's plan for bears
Character of the new MMBN Collab RPG Quiz!
happy anniversary to my fav show of all time . if ur reading this u should watch tiger and bunny
At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely
S. snuffleupagus, a newly described species of fish, is named after the beloved Sesame Street character, Mr. Snuffleupagus, to which it bear
SNUFFLEUPAGUS REAL
Fantastic article!! The guys looking for it were fish researchers who saw it one time, knew instantly it was an undescribed species, and then tried for nearly 20 years to find and document it!
It's a type of ghost pipefish, related to seahorses, and it floats around coral reefs looking like a piece of algae and hunting unsuspecting prey
They are, of course, named after Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street!
Later on it the project, they got citizen science involved, and people across the Pacific started reporting sightings of snuffy fish from all over!
Hooray for science and hooray for S. snuffleupagus !
I loooove ominously giggling when I'm getting my friends into smth new. They ask me a spoilery question and I get to do this
I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.
Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.
#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain
Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"
I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.
was talking to a diabetic friend the other day and i told him that i don't think i'd consider my moderate chronic pain 'disabling', just because i have a high pain tolerance, so it rarely stops me from doing anything, it just causes a lot of pain while i do that thing
and he asks if i'd consider his diabetes a disability, because for him it doesn't usually mean he can't do anything, it just means he can't do stuff the same way non-diabetics can
i thought abt it for a second, then i said "yeah, because even if you can do the same stuff, it comes at a cost. and there's other stuff you've gotta do and keep track of"
"yeah. your chronic pain's the same way. you can do the same stuff, but the pain and rest later, that's the cost"
anyway i thought that was a good outlook on moderate chronic pain and impostor syndrome or whatever
One sky, one destiny
I Need an Enforcer Era Teen Show
Anyone else feel like the Enforcer Era would make a fun little teen show that starts off all happy and sort-of carefree where the only real threat at first seems to be the Duel gangs but slowly grows darker and we see Kalin/Kiryu just slowly grow paranoid and becomes this tragic character that the others can’t reach? Because. Like. That’s all I think about. Its giving me CW vibes, or those old 2010s teen shows that starts with a single goal and it just slowly gets out of hand (Teen Wolf my beloved one day I’ll write down my thoughts about how Stiles was done so wrong).
Because, Kalin is most obviously the main character during this arc, he has this dream that all the others have never dared to voice, the determination and tenacity to get Jack, Yusei, and Crow to see his vision, and the passion and charisma needed to be the leader to their gang. His past is nebulous, but I like to imagine that he was raised by an older relative (maybe a parent, maybe an aunt or uncle) who remembered a time before Zero Reverse that Kalin grew up hearing about this idealist version of the past. Kalin is a cheerful kid, hardworking and yearning for peace not only for himself but also his older relative who works themselves into the ground to provide for him. At some point, their relative dies before he meets the other three - maybe it was an accident, but I feel like it was by a dueling gang (a very Batman or Spiderman origin story where Kalin sees his relative get killed or injured enough they’re as good as dead) and that’s when the fire ignites in Kalin’s soul. Young, idealist Kalin becomes something of a vigilante after that, doesn’t really work much and becomes a ghost to anyone who used to know him. Kalin manages to take down some duel members on his own, but this is when it dawns on him that he can’t take down all of the Duel Gangs on his own. Very much a “I’m forming a team” moment.
Kalin doesn’t decide on Yusei, Jack and Crow all at once - he has to be a Dramatic Vigilante and figure out who fits his criteria. Ideally he needs at least 2 or 3 members to form his own Gang, they need to have a protective streak and would be open to fighting for the peace that he so seeks. He has some Batman scenes where he essentially beats up gang members and eventually gains a lead about the small sanctuary that Yusei, Jack and Crow have made for themselves.
✨Dramatic Scene Change ✨
Que us switching to the building that Jack, Crow, and Yusei have commandeered for themselves. They’ve all recently moved out from Martha’s (who vehemently tried to argue against this but the boys didn’t want to put extra strain on her since she keeps fostering more kids in need), and are out in Satellite by themselves. The three of them are fiercely protective of each other and know that they have to watch their backs - they’re lucky enough that they can get by with some stealing, offering Yusei’s skills, and trading. The first few weeks to a month were the hardest, but they managed to find an old office building that no one wanted to use, and thanks to Yusei’s skills they were able to jerryrig a way to get some electricity and limited running water (although that’s touch and go but Yusei’s hopeful that if he can just find a specific part in the junk yard he can get the old plumbing system to work better). So all in all, they’re doing okay for themselves, at first some dueling gangs tried to intimidate them for “protection money” but the three of them are good enough duelists that they’re more or less left alone. They do occasionally run interference when they see that a Duel gang is trying to target the vulnerable (they’ve long made it clear that Martha is off limits, and that incident scared the Gangs enough that they’re content to leave them all alone as long as the boys don’t interfere with what they’re doing).
So this is the status quo when Kalin kind of bursts his way into the boys’ little hideout and thrusts out his hand, introduces himself and tells them his goal to create a peaceful Satellite. Now, I don’t think that the boys agree right away but I like to think that Kalin basically Talk no Justus his way into the boys’ trust and gradually gets them into his gang.
There are hijinks and all the high and lows of figuring out how to be a team, the elation when Yusei figures out how to make those handy dandy handcuffs - the celebrations when they beat a gang for the first time. And everything is all daisy and roses and the audience thinks that they'll get a happy ending and then Kalin slowly descends into his paranoia (which. honestly is an added layer of tragedy since they don't know how to help him, they don't have the resources to begin to understand what Kalin is going through) and then the group splits. The boys can't help the boy who was their leader, who gave them hope and this is why they ultimately can't bear to be together for a long time.
And an end scene where Jack makes it to New Domino City and tries to find out what happened to Kalin, and he descends into a rabbit hole and finally figures out that Kalin was having a mental breakdown and they could have helped him, they could have saved him if only they had the resources that New Domino City did and Jack's resentment of the city he escaped to only increases but he smirks and preforms because Isn't this what he wanted? This had to be worth it, had to be worth betraying his little brother, had to be worth leaving this was his due.
Go my transfem enzan be free
Guys shes so cute please love her cause I love her
This counts as fan art
yusei is milk crab but white knight is crabby milk you feel
i don't think trying to classify what counts as art or not is ever a productive conversation but I'm of the belief everything is art. coding is art knitting is art typing is art sleeping is art gift wrapping is art chalk on the sidewalk is art speaking is art math is art eating is art maps are art puzzles are art and everything is art. if it has the possibility to hold beauty it's art, and baby i can find beauty in anything. it's all about searching for meaning instead of being told it's there
tumblr shitposting is art but that much goes without saying
