Saw this on FB and tried to find the original, which I haven't, but the point is so solid.

He surveyed them all again—and held out his hand to Cassian. Cassian took it, and held out his other for Mor. Then Mor extended her other to Azriel. Azriel to Amren. Amren to Nesta. Nesta to Elain. And Elain to me. Until we were all linked, all bound together. ->a court of wings and ruin, ch. 69

I just learned yesterday that Pikachu, my favorite Pokemon, was originally designed not by Ken Sugimori (he only finalized the design), but by a female graphic designer named Atsuko Nishida. 

Also after googling her, I found out that she’s also designed Sylveon–another favorite PKMN of mine. She’s also illustrated some very pretty Pokemon cards!!

Thank you Ms. Nishida! :-) May you get more credit and love for your contribution to the Pokemon franchise.

as a camera shy person myself, knowing she hides behind plushies is just amazing

[cat-harman92]

Her and Yoko Taro are legends at hiding from cameras. xD

Here’s some other Pokemon she’s designed, for anyone curious:

and not to derail this post into anything overtly political, but: If it weren’t for a woman in the gaming industry, we wouldn’t have freakin’ Charizard. I feel like that’s something more people should know about!

As a chronic people-pleaser, this is my advice for success.

Offer as little as possible. Be terse. Get rid of all those exclamation marks and tidbits about why you want to take a sick day. State your needs clearly and concisely without reason. Start saying “No, I’m unable.” more often. Say Thank You only when the other party deserves it.

Ok so now I’m mad because how does a Pegasus even connect with Gwyn… where did this come from?!?! Searching Pegasus in silver flames here’s the quotes…

“Hence the pegasus. Helion’s idea of a compromise.”

“Cassian had heard the rumors of Helion’s rare pegasuses. Myth claimed his prized stallion had flown so high the sun had scorched him black..”

“This hadn’t been helped by Amarantha, who had butchered three dozen of Helion’s pegasuses…”

“The seven pegasus pairs that remained had survived thanks to being set free before Amarantha’s cronies could reach their pens in the highest tower of Helion’s palace.”

“According to legend, the pegasuses had come from the island the Prison sat upon—had once fed in fair meadows that had long given way to moss and mist.”

“Helion patted the pegasus’s thick, muscular neck before dismounting.”

“He let out a whistle, and the pegasus pivoted gracefully despite his size, flapped those mighty wings, and leaped back into the skies to wait elsewhere for his master. Helion grinned at Feyre..”

“.. miniature pegasus—Nesta’s request, made only when her friends goaded her into submitting one..”

“Do it for the miniature pegasus,” Emerie said.”

“The miniature pegasus,” Nesta said, “was an illusion. And is now back in his make-believe meadow.” “He loved Gwyn most,” Emerie teased. “Despite your efforts to woo him.”

So Helion….Helion… Helion… the island the prison sat on… Nesta requesting a Pegasus… Emeries “do it for the miniature Pegasus” quote…. ALL OF THAT does not matter because Emerie teased that the Pegasus loved Gwyn the most.

Please stop gaslighting me into thinking Gwyn is more important than she really is. 😭😭😭

Thinking about it: "Back with the Inner Circle" rather than just "Back in Prythian"

a very short poem for august (s.r.m.)

[closet-keys]

I think at bare minimum all medical professionals need to make sure they are treating patients with more kindness and respect than grifters. if you go to a doctor and they treat you like shit, humiliate you, and send you home without any information on your body or access to treatment, then health-grifters' offers will start to feel more tempting by simply giving the most basic performance of taking you seriously and caring about your well-being. grifters should be condemned for manipulating and exploiting sick people, and doctors also play a role in whether grifts thrive or are successfully identified and rejected. genuine baseline human respect, and beginning a relationship with a patient by earning (rather than demanding) trust, goes a long way.

Elain is in her gardens, tending to a new plant, with Azriel by her side. They’re engaged in conversations about anything and everything, just enjoying each other’s company. Cassian joins them to sun his wings and listen in, but he gets increasingly confused and concerned as Elain went from talking about the fertility of the soils to how there’s a beast lurking beneath a mountain.

He meets Azriel’s piercing gaze with a question on his tongue, but the shadowsinger silences him by holding a finger up to his mouth and narrowing his eyes.

“Is that so?” Azriel returns to the conversation without pause, leaving Cassian confuddled. “What can you feel about it?”

Elain hums, trimming away dead leaves with a pair of sharp shears that glinted in the sun. “Anger.” Snip. “Violence.” Snip. “Vengeance. It thirsts for blood.”

As her eyes return to their normal warm brown, she looks up to see Cassian’s retreating figure. Elain tilts her head, confused and displaced, but Azriel gently turns her by the chin to face him.

“What kind of plant is this again? Can you remind me?”

one thing i wanna say though is data centers being built in rural areas is environmental racism + classism so when i see ppl bitching about locals bitching about data centers im like oh it’s literally because it’s not your backyard being demolished and your air not being polluted and your waterways not being ran dry and your soundscapes not being raised to unhealthy decibels ….

One time I was leaving a friend's place and an older lady with basically no English came up to me and communicated that she was very cold and needed a ride. She pointed to tell me where to go.

I got there and her daughter or granddaughter came out and was like omg her phone died we were worried

And then the older lady said something and the younger lady translated.

"She knew she could trust you because you have pink hair"

I thought it was funny at the time. But when I think back on it I think she was basically saying "you had a visible sign of not vibing with the system I was afraid of"

Be weird. Be colorful. Help random people.
