Saltier Than the Dead Sea

30s / Australia / Fandom & shit posting

[mookimooks]

An introduction and about me.

30s / Female / Tired

Fandoms, memes, shitposting, some politics.

Attempting to be a hobby artist.

Art blog: @katandbirds.

Currently Fixated on: Birds, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy VII, Farscape, Babylon 5. Rules / DNI: None really, if you can be respectful and normal. I will likely post some political or critical content. I am not necessarily on your side, but I am not necessarily against you either. If that sounds strange, I honestly believe you need to take a break from the internet and connect with your local community. Ask people questions and listen, instead of making assumptions.

Hello there. I have observed fandom spaces since I was 14, but have not consumed nearly enough content myself, be it games, anime, tv, movies. I have been on Tumblr since the great LiveJournal migration of the 2010s, with a break for a few years until recently - and one or two deleted blogs.

Villain/heroine ship supremacy. Well, in some cases. With some exceptions, but there is a certain bittersweet tragedy type of pairing I always seem to gravitate towards. It's a vibe I can't quite explain, but when it's there it's there.

I have preemptively blocked some fandom blogs - it's not personal. Most likely, I got sick of seeing certain tags or people not tagging properly.

Oh, this definitely belongs on Tumblr.

Apropos of nothing, here is a baker's dozen images of bird-shaped brooches ca. 6th century, from Frankish, Vendel, and Anglo-Saxon artisans. They all come from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection on JSTOR, which includes nearly half a million open access images for everyone!

You won’t find this pigeon on the streets of New York City. Meet the Pink-necked Green Pigeon (Treron vernans)! This colorful bird can be found throughout Southeast Asia, where it inhabits forests. It hangs out in small flocks in the treetops, foraging mainly for fruit. Distinguishing males from females isn’t too difficult: Females lack pink necks and are mostly olive-green in color!

Went to an Oedipus Rex adaption today and my friends were debating whether the Oedipus/Jocasta age gap was problematic. Like guys…I think their relationship has bigger issues

From a 9th century Irish manuscript, the phrase ‘massive hangover’ (Latheirt) written in the ancient Irish text Ogham. The monk must have been having a very rough day…..

The exact translation is “ale killed us” which is somehow better

Coming into a fandom early and watching it become an angry clusterfuck

[valorious]

Being in a dormant fandom that suddenly comes alive again after a new book/movie

[leatherpatches-deactivated20150]

Don’t forget about those who come in the midst of a fandom war.

[street-of-mercy]

Being in a fandom and not even knowing there’s a war going on…

[pillowprincesslexa]

[hangingfire]

I always enjoy it when a good post comes around again and has been improved by the reblogs like the years for a fine wine.

[priory-of-stars]

Being in a fandom when shit goes down and everyone has different opinions

When you are in a fandom and don’t care for others people opinion…..even if they are right…(believe me, I have met several of those)
