Superhero team as a metaphor for online friendship
I've known you for years, but don't know your name. I trust you with my biggest fears, but you'll never even know how I look. I wish I could take you to my favourite coffee shop or park, but I'll never be able. If something were to happen to you I would never know. You are one of most important people in my life, I wish I could introduce you to others
sweet brianne and hella leslie
I spend a hell of a lot of time looking at my phone for someone who really doesn't have that much going on on it
Okay but what if there's something going on that I should know about?
CHECK OUT WHAT I JUST SAW AT THE ZOO.
Y’ALL.
I DON’T EVEN PLAY OVERWATCH BUT I SCREAMED.
Y’all can be screaming every time you see a gorilla
OK, maybe you haven’t played Overwatch – he looks just like this guy
So I think one of the zookeepers must have been an Overwatch fan… Awesome
Zeetha, I believe you that you weren't -completely- sure, but...
One day please tell your brother that you've suspected for 17 and a half years since the day you met him.
I'm so lucky my first partner had a forcefem kink i do not want to know how long I'd have been confused in my eggshell without them
it rlly does speed up ur gender journey when the first person u have ever had sex with says "hey. put on this lingerie and let me call you a girl."
i wish i was anyone but me
i wish i could transition
every day it gets worse
doreen, doreen, doreen.. im beggin you please let me lord you🙏
flaming moe's

Northernlion if he was a Wizard
When are you gonna do wizard stuff? You've been etching that same spell array for the last 5 streams lmao
"When am I gonna do wizard stuff? You're watching it right now man. This is it."
you should hunt more demons again
Laughs "Look man, that was last month. This is now. You gotta understand the role of violence in the cycle if you're ever going to thread the needle of your will into the tapestry of fate."
So are you not gonna accept ManaMuncher2003's wizard duel challenge?
"Okay first of all, I don't even know who this guy is. Second of all, you gotta remember that wizard duels are fought across the entirety of reality and the victor is decided long before the challenge is ever issued. But I guess no one ever taught you that."
you're calling us stupid lol
"No I'm just saying that there's a reason why I'm the one doing spells and you're the one watching me from your mom's laptop. No shame or anything."
fuck you and your entire mage guild you shitty hedge witch
"Alright buddy, you're getting annoying. Mods, send this guy to the mind prison where he has to fight a shadow doppelganger representing his deepest insecurities to escape"
NL's never shown us his shadow demon because we know he'd have hair
Failing to hold back laughter "Okay to be fair to that last guy, I gotta send you to the mind prison too. But I'm gonna give you thirty seconds to find a weapon to bring in with you because I have to admit that one was pretty funny"
Are you on HRT?
Yes
Not yet
it's niche but even homer cannot imagine it as purely folks like him. look at the diversity of his fantasy. even in his most peaceful fantasies, homer imagines others unlike him appreciating this simple pleasure.
truly an oaf of the people.
a 500 word short story with the same plot as your novel that explores how quickly the problem could be solved by sonic the hedgehog
knuckles gamgee
sonic heritage post
I’ve never seen this one before and it just punched me in the fucking face.
Just like Knuckles did to Sonic
”I have this artistic idea but not the skills to achieve it to the standard I want.”
congrats! Now you have a motif! A recurring theme! A focus for your art! Something to haunt you!
Seventeen still lives of dandelions? Three hundred poems about grief? A sketchbook dedicated to your grandmother’s house? Two books trying to unravel the complexities of familial relationships?
Don’t let the fear of it not being perfect on the first try stop you from being Weird About It!
Please view Hokusai's gradual working towards The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, over a period of 39 years.
An early exploration of the themes Hokusai would keep coming back to is Spring in Enoshima, done in 1793 when he was 33. The wave is small and there are no boats, but Mt Fuji is clear in the background, and Enoshima is in Kanagawa, so we are clearly beginning to work towards something here.
A second pass, eleven years later in 1803 when he was 44. The title of this one begins to get more familiar: The View of Honmoku Off Kanazawa. It has a towering wave over a smaller boat, but Mt Fuji is not present, and the boat is considerably larger and has a sail. But the feeling of danger in the wave and the smallness of the boat are here, and of course the general composition is definitely recognizable.
This is A View Of Express Delivery Boats, done in 1805, merely two years later at age 46. Here we find the wave and the boats almost exactly as we'll find them in The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, though Mt Fuji isn't present, and the location is uncertain. And it's a good picture! The wave is threatening, the boats are small -- but the feeling of "ocean" isn't really there yet, is it? It's unlikely this picture would have become a classic for the ages. But that's okay, there's still time.
And here we have it, a full 26 years later, done by Hokusai in 1831 at the age of 72. The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, one of the most recognizable pieces of art in the world. The boats are there, the mountain is there, the wave is there, and the FEELING is there. He did it! He reached the apex of his ongoing motif and theme!
Or did he? Because the whole point of a motif is not that you're striving to get to the perfect version of it, the one idealized image you carried in your head all along, and when it is done, you are also done. Hokusai is on record at the age of 73 saying he'd only just begun to feel like he was learning how to draw things properly, and that "if I keep up my efforts, I will have even a better understanding when I was 80 and by 90 will have penetrated to the heart of things. At 100, I may reach a level of divine understanding, and if I live decades beyond that, everything I paint — dot and line — will be alive." He had drawn The Great Wave, but he didn't believe he was finished -- he thought that he was still just beginning to get started.
And he wasn't finished with his ocean motif, either. Please check out his Mt Fuji At Sea, done in 1834 at the age of 75.
It's all there; Mt Fuji, the ocean, the wave. The boats are gone, but replaced with birds, flying with the wave instead of fighting against it. It's not as famous as The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, but that's not what motifs are for -- each successive work does not have to surpass the previous in terms of success, especially in terms of external success. They're there for you to keep playing with, keep remixing and re-experiencing, for as long as you think you have something to say.
I also want everybody to know that Google and most of the internet think that all of those paintings bar the last one are called "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa", so I had to do a sort of middling deep dive just to find their actual names. And then I was like "I don't think those translations are very accurate", so I went on a second quest to retranslate them, which was particularly difficult with painting three (A View Of Express Delivery Boats) because for some reason he titled that one entirely in hiragana, and it's all archaic words that were very hard to chase down without their corresponding kanji. Google suggested "the push-off is a transportation route", which wasn't particularly helpful.
All of which is to say that I probably spent a bit too much time on all of that, but it was fun; and at least I know what those paintings are called now.
