*: .｡. Pinned Post.｡.:*☆

haiiii! welcome to my blog! sorry for all the pink... i am horrible at writing introductions so apologies for that, but i decided it was about time i have a new pinned post bc i'm picking up a few new folks here 'n there.

my name is link! but you can call me pumpkin or ghost (´꒳`)

DID system lineup

What do I do?

art, mostly! i do write occasionally and sometimes i experiment with chiptune. i have a few projects i'm working on that i have not posted about on tumblr. i have a rpgmaker horror game i'm working on based on 2012 tmnt that i might start posting about more called "Entomology." i also have my own iteration of tmnt called "Portal Hoppers" that i am in the works of re-writing. haven't decided how i wanna share that one yet... i also like doing character analysis so you might see that from time to time. i have a horror project i'm working on that i want to be kind of like a DND campaign but with extra steps and writing/comic based. it's hard to explain... It's called the Entity Defense Administration! if you're interested in joining feel free to dm me your discord. we're in the midst of world building still.

occasionally i will do drawing requests or one-shot requests, so feel free to drop some in my inbox! however, if i don't get to your request, please don't spam me or dm me about it (￣▽￣)"

i do not take any incest related requests and i'll probably block u if u ask me to do that

personally not comfortable with it!

What am I interested in?

the list doesn't change that often because i'm very picky about what i hyperfixate on/what becomes a spin! occasionally i'll reblog things from different fandoms, but that's usually because it's art from my friends. if it's not on the list, i probably don't know much about it. but feel free to infodump in my inbox!

TMNT (any iteration)

Transformers (any iteration, but i'm still catching up on all of the content...)

Sonic the Hedgehog

FNaF

The Legend of Zelda (four swords my beloved)

Lego Monkie Kid

RanbooLive/Generation Loss

Moomin

MDZS / The Untamed

i also make self-inserts every so often but whether or not i post them depends on how i'm feeling ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Additional Info!

my art tag: #diddle doodle (sometimes i don't tag my art as this bc my brain is the size of this walnut except way smaller)

my commission sheet: x

project tags: #tmnt entomology #tmnt ph au #EDA International #ttid au

i'll add to this the more i update my projects/interests! also i haven't posted about all of these projects yet so they might be empty for now... i'll get there lol

Well, this is a mess of bad information.

This being the top answer with 10K upvotes is frustrating.

First, you can strain your eyes looking at white pages in a bright environment. White paper is around 80-90% reflective and the sun is very bright. Eye strain existed before screens did. Eye strain does not care if light is emitted or reflected, just how bright it is.

This all has to do with how our eyes adjust to different lighting environments. When things are bright, our pupils get tiny and restrict light. When things are dark, our pupils get big and suck in more light.

First, why do we need dark mode for screens?

In the case of reading text, we need good contrast in order for it to be quickly legible. Contrast is a ratio from the brightest thing to the darkest thing. The bigger the gap between the text and the page, the less work your visual system has to do to resolve the letters. So black on white and white on black provide a good reading experience for most people.

If we are reading a screen in a dim environment, our eyes are mostly adjusted to dim lighting. But if a screen is emitting a bunch of white light at full blast into your eyeballs, that can feel intense or straining.

You have a few options.

You can turn on extra lights so the room brightness is roughly the same as the screen brightness.

You can enable dark mode so there is less total light overwhelming your eyes while retaining a good legible contrast ratio.

Or you can dim your screen to match the dim environment.

The last option can be problematic depending on the type of screen you have. Even good LCD screens will have a reduced contrast ratio as you turn down the brightness. White will turn into dull gray and the contrast you need to easily read text will be diminished.

If you have an OLED screen, you may be able to turn down the brightness quite a bit more before you lose that high legibility. OLEDs sidestep this because the dark pixels emit no light at all, so the contrast ratio is more robust at different brightnesses.

Physical books have the opposite problem.

The brighter the environment, the brighter the pages. If you are in bright sun, a "dark mode" book will reflect less light and be less intense while maintaining a good contrast ratio for text.

However, if you take it in the shade or a dimmer environment, there may not be enough light to properly illuminate the white letters.

A book with white pages is going to have more utility. You can read it in both dark and bright environments. And if it is too bright you have options like sunglasses or finding some shade. For a dark mode book, you may have to add more light to get good legibility.

There are some folks with certain eye conditions that could really benefit from a dark mode book. For them, I'd probably recommend an e-ink display that can invert black and white.

I don't think making a dark mode version of physical books is practical. But the concept isn't "dumb."

this pride month we’re all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.

[userfish]

hey so this means radically pro ALL transgender. don’t put limitations on this. all trans people are radically accepted here.

[saviorified]

sometimes people on here talk about "accountability" in a way that shows they think that the person they've decided is in the wrong can't actually do anything to redeem themselves other than like. suicide.

[manuciruja]

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[animusbell]

celestia is such a funny character like she's constantly manipulating twilight and friends to do shit instead of just asking and you could arguably frame that as being bc she's a "god" and pushing fate to her design or whatever, except that she engages with the group like a normal and relatable person, which makes it more like villainous machinations, except 90% of this manipulation goes towards things like "I don't want my party to be boring shit again. put my little country girl blorbos in there with zero prep so they fuck it up bad"

[animusbell]

you think you've fucked anything up around princess celestia and she's like heh. no worries. all according to keikaku

[jukashi]

Celestia instantly makes more sense as a character when you ignore the princess stuff and remember that she's a 1000+ years old wizard. Of course she does manipulative trickster stuff to teach moral lessons and/or cause chaos to amuse herself, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course sometimes she's actually socially awkward and bad at personal relationships and has bad ideas that she thought were good that result in her eating shit embarrassing style, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course she lets the aristocrats and nobles run around being assholes she's still running on wizard advisor programming, she's basically trying to merlin the entire upper class of equestria instead of just a king and some knights. "Yeah uuhhh we'll release the incarnation of chaos himself from his ancient prison because we think this shy girl can be friends with him", terrible plan if you're thinking like a ruler, amazing plan if you're thinking like a wizard. Just look at Canterlot 'Castle' for five seconds and ask yourself if that's in any way a castle. No. Wizard tower, yes. Wizard.

[animusbell]

You are so right actually

happy pride month to my favorite piece of official sonic the hedgehog art

modern activism should be focused on building community not telling people to kill themselves and i am praying that online activists understand this sooner rather than later

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[candycoloredwolf]

Anyone gonna mention how this guy actually preformed live with Carly Rae Jepsen?

[restfromthestreets]

I’m gonna scream is2g

[galaxa-13]

I was thinking of reblogging this again just because the original video is still amazing, but then I see the second video and lost my mind. The upgraded fan, the body glitter, the sheer fact that he got to do this with the actual singer.

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.

[headspace-hotel]

This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands

[godesssiri]

I went to my doctor after I was walking to work one morning and saw a bus coming and actually took a step to throw myself in front of it before I pulled myself together. Later that day I started bleeding and was literally like someone flipped a switch and I didn't feel suicidal anymore. Which made me feel like I was loosing my mind because who goes from 'I want to throw myself in front of a bus' to 'I'm perfectly fine' just like that? I did some research, I went to the doctor and described my feelings, he looked me in the eye and gently asked what I thought it was, I said I'd read about PMDD and I thought it might be that, he said 'I think so too' and wrote a prescription.

If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.

Also this is something that can develop as you get older. So if you used to get normal PMS but what I wrote above sounds more like your norm now then don't just write it off as regular PMS.
