Obligatory blog title

New to Tumblr since 2023, been scrolling before that. The "make an account to see more posts!" popups finally got to me. 26 cis he/him, will not share NSFW images/videos but I will sometimes reblog funny/insightful text posts that can contain copious swearing or NSFW content.

New (Temporary?) Pinned

When I look at my own page I think “that pinned post is too long.” Old pinned from June 2023 here

Shorter pinned! My posts are 90% reblogs, 50% of which are various fandom stuff. Everything is SFW, including text, but there is a lot of swearing.

I’m a Christian; a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka a Mormon). Will sometimes post about it under the tag #jclds runnerpost

I have curated my featured tags to be the types of stuff I like and post about the most. So click on those, or scroll from the top, etc. But I also have a lot of other frequently-used tags that I’ve meant to link to in one mega-post. Anyway. Enjoy your scrolling or do something better with your time.

Also, the blog header is from a video I found, screenshotted and added text. I don’t play Noita much. My icon, I did make; it’s a screenshot of a college application essay about a yearly memorial run my HS team did.

First season of FMA:B is actually unreasonably funny because every episode at the 2 minute mark Ed goes “remember Al we can’t let anyone know our bodies are metal and we committed human transmutation. Because the military will probably execute us” and then every episode at the 14 minute mark Ed is screaming at the top of his lungs about how he and Al are made of metal and committed human transmutation. And also the President of the Military is there smiling and nodding and not giving a fuck because Ed is the military’s specialist little boy and he’s expressly permitted to commit murder in the streets and do arson and treason and tax evasion if he’s got enough hands for it and that’s completely fine because, as previously stated, he’s their specialist little sacrifice boy.

[phantomrose96]

And also the military already knows he committed human transmutation and they think that’s really really great. It’s their favorite Edward Elric fun fact.

[phantomrose96]

@redrobin-detective it is in fact a really great subversion of the “teenage protagonist successfully has the Adult Institution scrambling and fumbling, due to his cunning teenage wiles.” Ed DOES fancy himself cunning, but he’s literally only getting away with this because Bradley Is Letting Him. For the first several seasons they’re just letting him.

In the arc leading up to the Promised Day when all cards are out on the table, adult military strategist Roy Mustang is leading a charge against the establishment while Ed has faked his death and gone into hiding as, genuinely, the only thing he’s capable of doing on his own as a naive and scared 16 year old just trying to survive.

[blorbologist]

'on his own' even then he's being babysat by two chimeras and a homunculus + prince having a custody dispute over a teenage body! And before then half the time Mustang is lobbing problems at Ed like enrichment in their enclosure, or Armstrong, Ross, Brosh and Hughes are keeping an eye on him - he is regularly on his own in the field or when he's going rogue to be a curious little shit, but there's very often the hand of an adult present! Even several! It takes a village to raise a smartass child soldier and his brother 💕

(It's also really fun once the gloves come off and Bradley goes 'okay your special little boy privileges are revoked. That includes you Mustang btw I'm taking your toys away'. Timeout for naughty disruptive scientist-magician-soldiers.)

A slight guilty pleasure of mine is looking at the absolutely ridiculous advice some ‘How to be a masculine man’ videos are giving and then going into the comments to see the most performative shit going.

No Ian, you’re just a dweeb. Constantly scanning for threats makes you a fucking meerkat.

Alright I don't know how to say this but the clone of you that I keep in a white room to study your natural behavior so I can better act like a normal person around you just cured cancer.

have you seen this yet?

Seeing the large-scale patterns in how plant species are distributed across the landscape is nuts because it highlights how we manage land according to Concepts, and create technology for managing land according to Concepts, and we have words for certain types of environments and not others

Like, in my area, out of our plants that grow here, there is a certain group of plants that Exists in Forests, and another group that Exists in Lawns, and another group that Exists in Pastures, and depending on certain factors like how far upland it is and the soil pH, you can get a pretty good sense of what you're going to see and you can find environments like that over and over again, with similar combinations of plants.

And then there are plants that are absolute wildcards, that don't consistently exist anywhere because their habitats are only ever created accidentally. Powerline cuts, abandoned stretches of land, roadsides that are intermittently maintained, patches of land with complicated histories of being used for this and that and the other, disturbed and neglected in various ways.

Like in the eastern USA we have concept "forest" and we have concept "field/pasture" and then there is Land Used By People (mowed by heavy machinery) but probably like 1/2 of our plant biodiversity straight up can't live in forests of the density and lack of disturbance that Eastern forests have, but also can't live in the socially acknowledge categories of "useful" land that we have, so you find them in these random ass places that are like, A Ditch Between A Railroad Track And A Poorly Maintained Public Park or Field Where There Used To Be Horses But Now People Ride ATV's There

[headspace-hotel]

Forever I am trying to figure out how to tell people that there aren't, like, places that are "Nature" and places that are "Not Nature," there's just, a range of socially constructed ideas about what kinds of Places exist and machines and constructions built to enforce those criteria.

[headspace-hotel]

When say "i hate lawns" yes I hate the convention of having huge swaths of empty invasive grass but even more I hate the way our (?) brains have gotten accustomed to seeing stretches of short turf grass as being...just, what space between two things looks like.

It's like in between buildings there is Space and that space is No Place and most people can't even see it or notice it.

Like, when you start to actually pay attention to what is covering the surface area of the ground in shopping centers, parks, industrial areas, roadsides, there are countless square miles of space planted with invasive turfgrass and maintained with a lawn mower and they are completely unnoticed and unacknowledged.

Two buildings can be "next to each other" but there is a 30 yards walk between them and the fact that the land walked over in those 30 yards is, in fact, land, does not occur to people at all.
