secret fifth option
personally i was googling some fanart + fanfic
Secret fifth option of joining 15+ years ago and not remembering where i heard of it
One under-appreciated breed of fic writer are the ones who hyperfocus on logistics to the exclusion of all canon shortcuts, and thus usually strike upon an awesome way to flesh out the worldbuilding or characters.
Like, I’m not necessarily talking realism here since often it’s still pretty far from realistic, but more like, “someone has to be running spies in this fantasy kingdom, and we’ve seen the whole royal court, so which background character is it? How does that change these three major interactions?” Or “real life historical nobility did in fact have some things to do that were like jobs, how does this human disaster cope with running an estate?” Or “there’s no reason for a sci-fi robot detective to know how to whitewater kayak, where’d she learn?” Or “if this guy is serving the emperor directly he has to be way high up in the space empire servant hierarchy, why is he doing this menial task for someone else? What’s his motive? Does he perhaps have the secret space telepathy?”
Anyway I’m always DELIGHTED to find a fic or writer who asks these questions because the fics themselves are universally bangers.
person who knows how logistical things works has picked up the cannon, hefted it thoughtfully, and put a single chalk mark precisely on the problem.
Voting did matter. Even the worst democrat or in all honesty the next worst republican was not going to do all this exact same crazy shit. Voting cannot fix a broken system but if the system asks you to weigh in on how much more broken it wants to get, you can tell it "no, not that far please" instead of effectively "I don't care, go hog fucking wild"
So please vote in the midterms, for the least evil options on the ballots, instead of telling them you just don't mind who they put in charge of whatever the hell they want.
To back up OP’s post, democrats have won the majority of recent state elections (NPR link), and closed the gap on the few they didn’t. Dems also are notorious for getting stuck having to fix shit and get locked in a constant uphill battle (why it feels like they don’t get a lot done). As for the arguments of “lol we won’t have midterms” or “even if we do win midterms it won’t work so what’s the point”… that’s a form of voter suppression and weak ass defeatism.
The federal government cannot interfere with state’s voting and board of elections, it is unconstitutional and was defended as recently as a few days ago Jan 9 2026 (Politico link). The arguments that it’s not worth it or won’t happen will get louder and worse because the far right know that they are losing power.
Keep track of your local and state elections, check your voter registration status and make sure it’s active and correct, and make a plan to vote. That means all seats from federal down to city council. I get how tired y’all are bc I’m right there with you, but I want to get out of this. If you do too, stop doomscrolling and start being strategic with your attention. Pay attention to your local election boards, start giving yourself grace to learn and grow, if you can get involved do, if you can’t just make sure to get out and vote. Remember voting is not a magic button and it’s going to take decades to fix what has been undone, so pace yourself accordingly.
PARIS WAS NOT NAMED AFTER PARIS HILTON YOU DIPSHIT
source?
it was obviously named after Paris, the trojan prince.
A common misconception! Paris Hilton was named after Paris, the Trojan Prince, and Paris (the city) was named after Plaster of Paris, for trade relation reasons (that plaster being the main export f the area when the city was founded).
Plaster of Paris getting its name, of course, from its inventor, Paris Hilton.
I don’t know why anybody uses ChatGPT when they can log into Tumblr Dot Com and see *bespoke* obviously stupid lies, handcrafted by a real asshole for free.
Fun Fact: Jean Shepherd, best known for the 1983 holiday classic, A Christmas Story, had an earlier career as a late-night talk radio host where he told stories, talked about current events, and occasionally invited his listeners to help him play harmless pranks on "the day people."
His most famous hoax was born of being fed up with arbitrary "lists" which determined the existence and approval level of media pieces, particularly the NY Times Bestseller List. In 1956, he asked his listeners to go into their local bookstore and ask for a non-existent book called "I, Libertine" by Frederick R. Ewing.
It went 1950s viral. So many of his listeners asked after the book, published alleged excerpts, discussed it in literary circles, and planted references to it so widely that people actually believed it existed. There were even rumors that somebody tried to get it on the NY Times Bestseller List based on word-of-mouth demand.
Plot Twist: SOMEBODY WROTE THE BOOK. Based on Shepherd's basic plot outline and a compilation of the various bits and bobs provided by the public, contemporary author Theodore Sturgeon wrote a full-length novel version of "I, Libertine" and published it under the previously-established pseudonym Frederick R. Ewing.
All this to say, I think Goncharov should be nominated for an Oscar.
Raihu - Physiology in discussion
So, Aeo and I were talking about Raihu physiology. It got to be pretty interesting! After all, they’re based off of a velociraptor-type design, they’re warm-blooded, but they live in the desert. So how do they keep cool?
One idea is to add a small ridge or spine on the back that can provide a way to get rid of excess heat, sort of like how a fennec fox has super large ears to dissipate heat.
Another thing I’m going to change is that their hearts are much larger, and more powerful. After all, raihu are powerhouses. They’re built for strength and endurance. So to aid in this, they have large lungs and hearts, with 3 extra chambers in the heart.
I’m thinking that somehow maybe their horns could play a role in dissipating heat, since the resonance chambers inside could potentially cool blood flow. But there’s no blood in their horns (which are super strong, despite being hollow due to the material being similar to carbon fiber).
This is one of the things I love the most about being a writer - world design!!! Ever since I opened Rolas 6 years ago, I’ve been taken on a journey to discover this world. Every question a member asked prompted me to delve deeper into the world in order to provide an answer. It’s a challenging, but exciting thing to do.
So how would a raihu look with a small spinal ridge? Any thoughts? I think maybe next we’ll look at juna or lorren design. I don’t think Rolas will ever be completely finished, because it’s always expanding and growing the more we add to it.
You, the members, make it possible! o 3o

I said i would make a 3D raihu based off the world my good friend created

Sometimes I see people from countries with public healthcare systems post videos that are like “This is the reality of socialized medicine. I had to wait in the ER with my sick baby for 4 hours.” “I had to wait 8 months to see a specialist. That’s egregious.” or “They didn’t have a bed for my loved one in mental health treatment.” and it’s like. Come to America babygirl. You can experience all of this and have your insurance deny it and pay thousands and thousands of dollars for it. Like I know healthcare systems in countries with public health can be bad but when I see someone imply they’re bad because the healthcare is universal, I want to jump through the screen and put my elbow on their throat. “The NHS is deeply flawed, therefore we should abolish it and go back to private healthcare. That will definitely make healthcare in this country better!” I am going to Kill You.
At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely
technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.
Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.
Free courses on Coursera.
Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison
For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.
When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.
Harvard alone has these free online classes: Citizen Politics in America: Public Opinion, Elections, Interest Groups, and the Media U.S. Political Institutions: Congress, Presidency, Courts, and Bureaucracy U.S. Public Policy: Social, Economic, and Foreign Policies
We the People: Civic Engagement in a Constitutional Democracy Justice ...in case anyone wants to brush up on how these things (are meant to) function.
We love a king who learns from his past mistakes 🥰
ANYWAY I FINALLY GOT A GOOD PICTURE OF A NORTHERN FLICKER TAKING OFF IN FLIGHT
I've been trying to since around late February or early March of last year, so almost as long as I've been doing this. I'm really fucking stoked about it.
Stoked for you OP!
I know that we here on tumblr have had our posts stolen and rewritten by many a twitter user, and that they speak of of tumblr as a hellsite (derogatory) when it is really a hellsite (affectionate)
But now that Elon owns twitter, we must welcome new and returning users with open arms.
Every twitter user converted is one step closer to Elon Musk pulling a yahoo and loosing 99% of Twitters value.
Okay I think this was mostly him, but still.
It was announced the prince was looking for a wife, but the baker girl didn’t care. That was until the very tired and sad-looking boy wearing a hoodie and sweatpants bit into a cherry tart, looked as if he was about to weep, and whispered: "She’s the one." Then a bunch of officials entered.
Whoa. It's fish doorbell season
Soms moeten vissen lang wachten bij de Weerdsluis, omdat de sluisdeuren in het voorjaar niet vaak open gaan. Daar hebben we iets op bedacht.

Would appreciate reblogs for reach!
For those who may have found us via other posts and want a synopsis on what we do here! Please feel free to tell your friends about us - we thrive as a community the more crafty people there are that want to trade :)
