I do write some 18+ explicit stuff, but only very specific categories. You can find them on AO3 under zetasquadron123.

this is so niche but i've been watching amphibia with my girlfriend and marcy is just like me so here's something really really self indulgent (also i didn't realize i parted marcy's hair on the wrong side until looking at my ref for the second doodle and i didn't want to go back and redraw it so i just kept drawing it like that for the sake of consistency. my apolocheese)

[superbdragoncollection-stuff]

i love the idea the girls liked her stuff more than they realized

[superbdragoncollection-stuff]

I need someone else other than me to make fics with Marcy living with her newt moms for the love of all that is holy

Like, I get it that these idiots are a bunch of eugenic nazis, but... I don't get it, I REALLY don't get it.

From what I can tell, they have a religious belief in capitalism that no matter what, anything government does is automatically bad, evil, and inefficient, and anything private entities do is inherently good and effective.

And I know that these are the same people who will laugh at researching certain things because they personally don't understand how they are related to each other.

And I know a ton of them are just stripping the country bare the same way they do third world countries(see Nicaragua 1970s transferring earthquake relief to personal funding)... is THAT it? They're just trying to get bigger and bigger scams?

Is it just easier to pick on social safety nets for dismantlement and theft because nobody will notice/care? And it's only recently the rich have been able to steal from the biggest coffers?

[ayeforscotland]

Every time the government talks about declining birth rates there never seems to be the realisation that if you make becoming a parent completely unaffordable then people will simply not have kids.

Shocking, I know. But do you know how fucking dire a situation has to be for people to simply not want to have children?

Not interested in ‘I don’t want to have kids anyway’ reblogs on this one, I’m obviously not talking about people who actively choose not to.

[superbdragoncollection-stuff]

Also, I feel like the same people complaining about those birth rates were complaining about overpopulation 20 or even 10 years ago.

Also, it's really, really insane to be being competitive about birth rates when every english-speaking government is intent on outsourcing every single industry they can, everything not bolted down then coming back with bolt cutters. You know, not exactly incentivizing anyone to STAY.

[pinkrabbitsbythenational]

normally i’m not one to belittle americans because i think british people are just as stupid/evil but it does genuinely piss me off when americans make fun of british heatwaves because “we have that temperature all the time!” yeah and you (mostly) have the infrastructure to deal with it. people here die in this heat. and people in your country die in this level of heat too, you just don’t notice/care because they tend to be poor/elderly/black.

[vastwinterskies]

how am I supposed to go to the supermarket without cavalry support

[scrapironflotilla]

Old fashioned thinking.

What you need is fire superiority over the other customers. And there's only one certain way to achieve that.

[superbdragoncollection-stuff]

Yes, and the cavalry troop can carry machine guns faster than the infantry can!

[uss-edsall]

At 1 PM on a Friday I get an email from my boss. I'm busy as hell so I don't check it immediately. Then I get a phone call from my boss, which has almost never happened before. I'm a white collar worker, a historian. There's never a 'historical emergency' requiring a phone call to kick me in the ass and get to work.

The request is so urgent my boss needs it by the end of the work week. Which, y'know, is 5 PM on a Friday. So I have four hours to do it.

It's a forwarded request. Somebody contacted a member of the donation team asking for help, "I need a map from the Vietnam War to use for a presentation." It's somebody she's trying to coax into giving a five figure donation to the museum.

The request was asked to the donation team member, who then emailed my boss, who then emailed and called me urgently.

This map required:

North and South Vietnam in it

All four areas that South Vietnam was divided into for military purposes ('Corps') clearly delineated

Four cities, all of them horrifically misspelled, and only identifiable because I know what battle the requester is asking about (it’s in III Corps on the border with Cambodia) (the requester danced around the battle but I’m knowledgeable enough to identify it)

Has Laos and Cambodia in it

Has the Ho Chi Minh Trail in it

So. I was mad about the 'you have literally four hours to find a map with a lot of requirements.'

I was then mad at myself about finding a copyright free map from Texas Tech University within half an hour, proving her right for asking me to do it.

Then, after I found a map that perfectly met the requirements, I was equally amazed, baffled, and horrified when I read further into the forwarded email chain.

The donation team team member they were speaking to used AI to generate a map.

The above put half of North Vietnam in South Vietnam, made the Ho Chi Minh Trail a country, made 60% of Cambodia part of South Vietnam, put the DMZ extremely high up in North Vietnam, completely disconnected the southern tip of Vietnam, misplaced all of the Corps zones, etc etc

At the very last second the donation team member had a moment of divine clarity, remembering there's three historians on payroll to ask for this kind of thing from. So she contacted my boss while saying, "I had fun with this, but I decided I should check for accuracy before I send it to the donor! I need a fact check by the end of the day, then I send it"

My boss, while not the most knowledgeable on the Vietnam War, does know her geography. She took one look, and knew it was so off she called me to tell me how urgent it is that I look at the email and respond

good fucking god, jesus tap dancing goddamn christ, I'm glad I was asked to look at it and then find a real map

[the-murmuration-project]

My fear has never been that AI would replace human intelligence. My fear has been that the people who Know Things and the people who Make The Decisions are almost never the same people.

We’re throwing real intelligence out on the street to starve while worshipping the shambling Frankenstein-ed corpse of knowledge puppeteered by those who see us as disposable assets.

[luulapants]

Story time:

In middle school biology, we did an experiment. We were given yams, which we would sprout in cups of water. We then had to make hypotheses about how the yams would grow, based on descriptions of yam plants in our books, and make notes of our observations as they grew.

Here’s what was supposed to happen: we were supposed to see that the actual growth of the plant did not resemble our hypotheses. We were then supposed to figure out that these were, in fact, sweet potatoes.

What actually happened was that every single student in every single class lied in their notes so that their observations perfectly matched their hypotheses. See, everyone assumed the mismatch meant they had done something wrong in the process of growing the plant or that they had misunderstood the dichotomous key or the plant identification terminology. And, thanks to the wonders of a public school education, everyone assumed the wrong results would get us a failing grade. We were trying to pass. We didn’t want to get bitched out by the teacher. Curiosity, learning, science - that had nothing to do with why we were sitting in that classroom. So we all lied.

The teacher was furious. She tried to fail every student, but the administration stepped in and told her she wasn’t allowed to because a 100% fail rate is recognized as a failure of the teacher, not the class. It wasn’t even her fault, really, though her being a notorious hard-ass didn’t help. It was a failure of the entire educational system.

So whenever I see crap like Elizabeth Holmes’s blood test scam or pharmaceutical trials which are unable to be replicated or industry-funded research that reaches wildly unscientific conclusions, I just remember those fucking sweet potatoes. I remember that curiosity dies when people are just trying to give their superiors the “right” answers, so they can get the grade, get the job, get the paycheck. It’s not about truth when it’s about paying rent. There’s no scientific integrity if you can’t control for human desperation.

[neurodivergantizzetwitch]

the yam is the power that be

[superbdragoncollection-stuff]

This is also why privatization of science is a bad idea. Experimentation and curiosity are expensive so no company would ever want to explore that.

Learning this was an intentional genocide changed me.

[fighterkimburgess]

I know most of those following me know this, but just to make it super clear. An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger/the Great Famine) was a deliberate genocide of the Irish people. There was enough food grown in Ireland to make sure everyone was alive and healthy and survived. Instead it was exported, sent to England and elsewhere for profit while men, women, and children starved in the streets. While the English landlords fucked off and evicted starving families who couldn’t afford rent. While babies were too weak to cry and died at the side of the road.

They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. And we owe so much thanks to the other oppressed peoples, in particular the Choctaw Nation and the Masai, who sent money and grain to us.

Let me repeat that. The Choctaw Nation who had just gone through the Trail of Tears sent us money to try save Irish lives. It’s led to an understanding between Irish people and Native American tribes, most recently when we donated to the Navajo and Hopi fundraisers for COVID-19 relief, because while it may be a different tribe, Irish people will never forget those who helped us and we’ll help back.

The entire population of the island is less than seven million people. We’re still a million less on this island than pre famine. And it’s not that long ago. My grandmother’s grandparents lived through it. We’ve told the stories, it literally changed the DNA of the country. We have a national fear of renting, because so many people were evicted. People joke about Irish people always offering loads of food, but it’s because there’s that cultural memory of not being able to.

They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. We will not let them take our lives, we will not let them take our language. We lost so much, but we will not lose it all.

[saltedweather]

This is why I get so angry when people say “it was the potato famine, it was because of monoculture/microbes.”

Nope. The potatoes were the only thing Irish people were allowed to fucking eat, because as pointed out, the rest of the crops they were growing were for their landlords to ship to England. So when the one “worthless” crop they were allowed to eat rotted in the field, the English crown, empire, landlords, all shrugged and carried on. People starved to death lying next to productive fields.

[superbdragoncollection-stuff]

Ireland is the only country to have a reduced population AFTER industrialization than before.

Also, monocrop? Yeah, you ever wonder WHY they were only allowed to grow one type of potato?

Also, the british did this again in the 20th century with the Bengal Famine in India. "well there were shortages all over the world" yeah, except its odd how those shortages were EXACTLY THE SAME VARIETY AS THOSE IN IRELAND A CENTURY EARLIER.

[rainydaydecaf]

The Hobbit movies would have been vastly improved by going the same route as the The Princess Bride movie

Just constant cuts to the future with Frodo chiming in as Bilbo tells the story to be like “that’s not how you told it when I was little!” and “wait, you never mentioned these orcs chasing you!”

And Bilbo hems and haws like “well, I didn’t want to scare the children” etc and we see the same scene get replayed multiple times with slight variations as Frodo and Bilbo bicker about the details of what actually happened

(And then we can do an extra gut-punch at the end where Bilbo tells the little kids “yeah, the dwarves were all fine, nobody died, they recovered from their wounds and went on to rule the kingdom” and maybe we get a glimpse of a universe where that happened… but Bilbo turns away as soon as the children are gone and stared out the window while he relives the truth all over again 😭)

[doctorbluesmanreturns]

plus we could have seen the original version where Gollum just gave the ring to Bilbo as the prize in the riddle contest, and then have Frodo say "That's funny because Gandalf told me...." and then the true version, at which point Bilbo clears his throat awkwardly and looks at the ceiling.

[superbdragoncollection-stuff]

TBH I would have loved the version we got with this addition. They're not as bad as people claim, and its better to have something made by someone who loves it and messes up than someone who is indifferent at best and doesn't care at all.

Tintin Meets The Detectives

Art by Adam Murphy

[bionicle-ramblings]

(In an Animal Documentary voice)

The Toa are creatures of habit, these habits being developed in part to the way they grew. If conditions are idea, the Toa will be more social and have a positive demeanor as opposed to a Toa from a habitat with harsher conditions

While Toa are often seen traveling in groups, they can also be seen without any companions and will be slow to join a group, unless doing so ensures survival

The Matoran, however, are strictly group based creatures that are rarely seen traveling alone, and any that are will have a few companions following to keep them out of danger, which finds them easily, due to their small size and weaker armor

The Toa and Matoran share a unique symbiotic relationship, in which the Matoran shall lead the Toa to food and supplies while the Toa guards and protects them for the entirety they are together. A Toa can often be seen with a small group of Matoran after the initial favors needed are carried out, and this is because the Matoran bond easily to new members of their group and will be hesitant to leave one of their own behind, unless there are extreme circumstances

[whiteheartlight]

"Of course, dire circumstances can take their toll on Matoran groups as well..."

*Cut to the Mahri Nui Matoran shooting the gun that makes you suffocate at Nuparu for trying to say hi*

[superbdragoncollection-stuff]

I need one for when the future Toa Inika are Matoran and bringing Takanuva along with them
