Minki has not given up trying to cuddle with Millie. And what she doesn't know, doesn't hurt her.

Number 25 of the Close Encounters Collection, "Wimdy"!

Couldn't resist contributing to the "It Heckin Wimdy" meme!

Here's the painting without the meme text:

Proud of the icy highlights!

There's all those tidbits about J.R.R Tolkien and C.S. Lewis influencing each others writing, like Lewis putting in a lamppost out of spite and Tolkien making Lewis into a tree

Is there anything about how you get to the Undying Lands by sailing west and you get to Aslan's country by sailing east? I only noticed that today. Was this coincidental? Did they have different opinions on whether death was metaphorically a sunrise vs a sunset?

Listen we all know NFTs were a grift and all that but it still baffles me that they got past the naming stage. "These are called non fungible tokens" yes most assets are non-fungible actually. Non-fungibility is the default. "Yeah but these are tokens" you do realise that the advantage of 'tokens' is their fungibility, yes? A US dollar is a US dollar. A chuck-e-cheese token is a chuck-e-cheese token. The fungibility is intrinsic to the function. What you've made is not something that it makes any sense to call a token. I know it's just spicy finance crimes but like. Let's put some effort into the PR. As least cryptocurrency got an accurate name. What kind of asset are you pretending to have here. "Non fungible token" pick a fucking side.

#this post made me realise i dont know what fungible means#english is my second language#but im basically fluent#but through all the nft bullshit#i never realised i didn't know the word#prob say something about the general understanding

Something is fungible when it is completely interchangeable with its own kind in a trade or exchange. For example, currency is fungible -- one US dollar can be traded with another US dollar and essentially nothing has happened. The two dollars might be physically different -- most currencies are marked with serial numbers in case they need to be tracked due to theft or counterfeiting or whatever -- but in trade this doesn't matter. The specific dollar you have has no effect on anything -- any dollar is every dollar. Electricity is another fungible asset -- once it's in the system, it makes no difference whether the electricity you're using was developed in a coal plant or a nuclear plant or a solar panel. (Electricity, unlike coins, is physically identical which means you can't even have non-fungible edge cases like collectible coins.)

Houses, or racehorses, or paintings, are non-fungible. You can trade these just like money or electricity, but one house is not equal to every house -- their values will change relative to each other, and which house or horse or painting you have matters. If you want to economically model the value of houses as assets and trade goods, you can't do so in the unit of "house" -- you have to convert it to a fungible currency, like the dollar or the megawatt-hour, first. (You can create an "average house value" and mark the value of every house as a certain percentage above or below it, but this is just currency with extra steps. Now you've invented a fungible token useful only in comparing and trading houses. Hooray.)

Animorphs fans get a +2 to knowing what "fungible" means because KA Applegate used the word wrong once in 1998 and the book was bad enough that we all eventually learned what the word meant from each other making fun of it.

One of my early paintings of cats, "Glowing Cat"!

Just beginning to study and paint color and light.

It's fun to remember what I struggled with in this painting, and how I've overcome the struggles and mastered techniques!

people will really come into kink spaces and say you can't forcefem women like there wasn't a feature length movie about an elderly gay man forcefemming a woman as part of scheme to thwart an elaborate assassination attempt before the killer even determined their target

[cheaphalloweencostume]

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i think i am going insane

[mrblackhaironthestreet]

Apparently it is impossible for Tumblr users to think of a not ageist way to describe their tastes, because everything must always be compared to how inferior children are -- despite the fact that it is pretty much never the choice of any child or children when media aimed at them is dumbed down etc.

Things when bad: kids and children are involved!

Things when good: this is very Adult this is specifically Adult only Adults can understand or want this

[lady-of-math-and-rope]

"I want to watch movies where the writers assume the audience can handle complex themes and sensitive material."

"Do you mean porn? Or are you being ageist? You're ageist if you don't like Kung Fu Panda."
