Haven't watched phm yet, but the idea of having someone watch over you while you sleep makes me want to cry. I have really, really bad sleep anxiety (currently 3:50am as I write this even though I'm meant to be up at 7) and having someone sleep next to me -- let alone WATCH OVER ME -- makes it so much easier and I wanna cry at the idea of having someone do that for me.

Having someone ensure that I won't be hurt in my most vulnerable state at the cost of their own rest...

oh, a man can dream

anon in my inbox said fanfic writers who wrote about dark and taboo topics were not “real writers” because of what they wrote about.

reblog if you believe anon is wrong and writers are writers, no matter what they write about. no matter how they portray these taboo topics.

reblog if you believe art can be about topics that are controversial, taboo or outright disturbing, and artists who create controversial, taboo or outright disturbing art are as valid as artists who create art of conservative values.

reblog to laugh at anon ♡

Any person who writes is a real writer, there’s no right or wrong way to be a writer

I HAD A THOUGHT

I think the precursors might've viewed humanity as a bunch of animals (cough, cough, ignoring Uprising, cough, cough). We don't have a hive mind and they might've identified intelligence in species based on many traits, but primarily, a hive mind. Like how we also have flawed definitions of intelligence due to our own biases.

I also think this is a fun parallel to us. We will build cities and ruin habitats, and while we may feel bad for it, at the end of the day, the general consensus is that our quality of life matters more than the lives of animals.

We might be able to look at birds, dolphins, and other intelligent species and go "Yeah, they're smart. But they're not as smart as us, they're still just animals. At the end of the day, they're less sapient (this means capable of thinking, while sentient means capable of feeling) than us. "

Corvids are incredibly intelligent, and are capable of making second level tools, but they're just birds at the end of the day.

I think the precursors might've thought of humanity like that. Do some research and come back with the report of: "Yeah, these are some incredibly complex pack animals that show a high degree of intelligence, capable of making second or third degree tools. Different regions produce different phenotype and they seem to be able to communicate in a rudimentary sense through a series of whistles, clicks, and other similar sounds. Though, they seem to lack a complex telepathy system, hive, or puesdo-hive, or lack one at all."

And everyone was like: "Oh, that's cool!" and then proceeded to go look at the atmosphere and land mass and be like "oh, that's a lot of land with a pretty good atmosphere, we could work with this". And not realize that we're thinking, feeling beings.

(I'm actually thinking of writing a fic with this concept, where it all comes to a head when Newt drifts with the Kajui brain and the Precursors are all freaking out because they're been murdering a bunch of, like, PEOPLE, and not just animals and Newt's just like: "Well, yeah, of course we're people! Wtf???" Would people be interested in that?)

[impactrueno]

informative post i made for instagram regarding the catastrophic earthquakes here in my country but i thought i'd share it here too

🆘🆘🆘PLEASE REBLOG IF YOU CAN'T DONATE!!! we are DESPERATELY trying to get more people to talk about this!!

➡️here's the link to the document mentioned

[impactrueno]

hi! i just wanted to say that the donation links were not picked all willy nilly and that the venezuelan community has already determined which are actually trustworthy, and those are the ones mentioned in the thread and the document linked. venezuelans do not trust the government so we implore everyone to avoid donating to any charity org associated with the government. if youre still unsure about it, commissioning venezuelan artists that you already know and trust is a great choice.

Bro why are Jagers so fucking hard to draw

Why do they look like that?

I'm blaming Hermann for this

[ramhornsntrauma]

Y'all ever think about how Guy will never have the person he was back again?

He was permanently damaged by a bus that hit him, protecting his students. He worked to get to the point where he smoothed down all of the jagged edges he built up to protect him from his father and his brother so that he could be a source of comfort for kids like him. He worked to become a man he was proud to be.

And that man died when that bus collided with him. He lost his personality and all the work he did to get there.

He once again just became that "annoying Gardner" that he never wanted to be again. He basically regressed to his teenage self, the one who bit and snarled at whoever was closest to prove he didn't need anyone. And he'll never get that version of himself back.

He'll never be the man that kids ran to with a "Mr. Gardner!", excited to see him after a school break. He'll never be the man that the queer kids came to for comfort, who ate lunch in his room because they knew he'd never judge them. He'll never be the man who held his students as they cried because god knows their father never would. He'll never be the man who people knew they could rely on.

But he was that man.

I think that every single time someone makes a snide comment or he says something stupid that hurts someone, he hides the immediate guilt from his face. Because he used to be a man who people who lean on and he never will be that person again.

I also think that he doesn't care, because he can go online and see the kids he saved grow up to have lives, families, and a world and know that it's all okay. Because Mr. Gardner died that day, but these kids were able to live.

I hate being a Pacific Rim fan. What do you mean I will stay up all night thinking about a stupid physicist and rockstar biologist.
