Hello and Goodbye @supernova-in-progress - Tumblr Blog

i love the concept of full body armor. my gender is anyone's guess but i sure am armed and dangerous.

"what do you identify as?" i think you have more important things to be worrying about right now, like my sword for instance,

professorsparklepants

Terminal Hanaki? Boring. Chronic Hanahaki? Exciting.

professorsparklepants

Not enough chronic illness in fanfic. Shout-out to my folks who spend 6-8 weeks of the year in the hospital.

chucktaylorupset

Prof you fucking genius is it seasonal? Like it happens in spring cause the flowers bloom? Imagine it hitting hanahaki season and looking around a room and seeing whose missing, who's out on sick leave, thr curiosity the DRAMA

professorsparklepants

It's like how everyone with autoimmune disorders disappears during flu season! Except with even more drama.

#this is honestly how I initially thought hanahaki in fic worked #coughing up flowers for years because you won't cop to your feelings? #that's the stuff #the dying thing puts on really uncomfortable pressure for me #like 'love me back or I'll die' is uncomfortable as hell for me #whereas 'ADMIT YOU'RE IN LOVE YOU JUST COUGHED UP A BOUQUET!' #hanahaki-suffering person: 'no' THIS IMMEDIATELY IMPROVES THE ENTIRE TROPE! I had really disliked Hanahaki because it’s almost like the other person - if they’re a good person - is sorta blackmailed into either having feelings or being responsible for your death which is Not Romantic, but I can totally get down for FEELIGS made into an aggravating physical metaphor that you could potential deal with if you’d either confront them or get therapy or something.

AU where instead of trying to cure her infertility Yennefer just goes around saving random people’s lives and invoking the law of surprise bcos she figures sooner or later it’ll net her a baby. she hasn’t got one yet but she has amassed about 2 dozen dogs so she’s doing pretty well for herself.

penny-anna

1) after a while her habit of swooping in at the last minute to save the day gets her a rep as a legit superhero. she’s like ‘no you don’t understand. I Am Not Nice. I’m doing this for very selfish reasons - stop praising me you don’t get it’

2) ‘I’m starting to think that destiny must be a real thing. there’s no other explanation for how many of my surprises are dogs. destiny is real and destiny wants me to have dogs for some reason.’

problematicfan

Okay but her doing this beFORE Geralt does it and when she finds out that he only had to invoke the law of surprise ONCE to get a baby she goes absolutely feral on him. Just dead silent, furious, finally starts pulling off her jewelry like, “bard, hold my earrings.”

penny-anna

Yennefer: actually can I trade your child surprise for some of my dog surprises

Geralt: um

Yennefer: how many dogs equals one child. how about 10? 10 dogs.

Geralt: I don’t think this is how the law of surprise works

problematicfan

Years later Ciri finds out that Geralt almost traded her to a witch for an unspecified number of dogs and is almost and angry but then she finds out it was Yennefer and shes like, “You mean the suPERHERO?!” And suddenly Geralt is no longer the favorite parent.

Not to be controversial, but everytime I see Millie Bobby Brown, a 15 year old, dressed in a style that makes her look +25, that's meant for +25 year old, a little piece of me dies.

nottwilightbella

They look the same age.

They are not. That's a child styled and painted so to appeal to adult male gaze.

stpauligirl

I wish that Millie had whoever was styling Kiernan Shipka during the Mad Men years. She always looked great.

talkingperfectly-loud

Also I’d like to add that (since she’s being compared to her) this is what Natalie Portman was wearing to events at 15:

i honestly dont get why people stopped reblogging things they like on here bc like what are you afraid of??? people thinking youre cringey?? guess what bitch! youre on tumblr! it's all cringey! reblog everything you like and do it shamelessly no one fuckin cares

lesbianpraetor

people stopped reblogging things because it is a lot easier to like things than to reblog them on mobile, and that's what the majority of people use. It's a design flaw not the users fault

tekehu-archive

idk if most people are aware of this, but if you hold the reblog button down you can literally just swipe to the icon of the blog you want it to reblog to. it‘s quick and easy

lady-divine-writes

I just reblogged this for a second timr. Wrote this note, too. On mobile. Took seconds. No biggie.

the-stray-liger

I’m reblogging again this actually bc you know what? fuck this. Artists and writers spend HOURS of their time, sacrifice their own health to make things and share them here for FREE and you fuckos won’t reblog because “it’s so hard on mobile :/”? Lmao fuck you

boykeats

shout out to my fave under-appreciated unbreakable transgender hero

nonbinerdy-blog

The thing that gets me is he didn’t ASK for the impenetrable skin. Poseidon was just like “cool cool but you know what you need? skin of IRON. don’t worry bud it’s on the house”

enjolras-in-valinor

so… Poseidon made his trans boyfriend bulletproof. alright.

I’ve been thinking about that last thing all day and

I’m pretty sure I have a new ship…

ozandtherealboy

Sharing this here because everyone seemed to really like the first one and I’m so pleased with the way my dumb drawing came out

jezebelgoldstone

You know what the ABSOLUTE BEST PART of this is?

Caeneus wishes for a man’s body– and Poseidon doesn’t sigh and half-ass it, doesn’t break up with him for no longer having a female form, doesn’t even simply carry out Caeneus’s wish to the letter.

No no.

My boy Poseidon decides to give his boyfriend something EVEN BETTER just because.

It’s like he couldn’t contain himself; like he couldn’t even deal with how in love with Caeneus he was.

MALE FORM? DONE. WHAT ELSE CAN I GIVE MY LITERAL FAVE? I KNOW. I KNOW. I WILL MAKE SURE NO ONE CAN EVER, EVER HARM HIM. FOR ANY REASON. I WILL KEEP HIM SAFE EVEN BEYOND THE REACH OF GODS AND TIME. I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

bobbybobertson

Okay I don’t know if we’re all looking at the same image or not but it says that Caeneus was raped by posedion. It goes on to say that the wish was to have a male form so that they couldn’t be raped again. And then Poseidon proceeds to make a joke of it by giving him impenetrable skin, so that Caeneus can’t be penetrated. This isn’t a “oh by the by I’m trans and want to be seen as man physicaly” this is “oh hey so that no one every forces themselves upon me agian I want to not have a vagina.” And if I have to explain the reason why the skin that can’t be penetrated, it’s a joke about rape y'all :/ This isn’t Percy Jackson, it’s actual Greek mythology and actual Greek mythology can be terrible.

Though I mean I do like this version that Tumblr has made, I feel like it’s important to not bury the fact that this was a rape by making the these two male lovers. Let’s have Caeneus be a trans icon separate from Posiedon if anything.

monzterzack

i was about to have a stroke because everyone was ignoring the RAPED BY POSEIDON part

listen, representation is good but please dont…. dont make them be lovers when it is pretty obvious poseidon was a huge piece of shit

loser-freak-beheader

I noticed that and was like increasingly becoming more uncomfortable as I went through the post

psycada

ok usually i don’t reblog discourse-y stuff but this is the WEIRDEST glitch i have seen on tumblr- some people are reading a post that has completely different wording than others

The wording here says “he was abducted by Poseidon, who fell in love with him.” So the implicated here is that he was first kidnapped, and afterwards Poseidon fell on love. But on mobile:

This is the version says “he was raped by Poseidon.” and that he wanted to be a man “so that he may never suffer the same thing again.”

I have no idea how this has happened. This is the same post, not edited, being viewed on the same blog, on desktop and mobile. There’s discourse going on in the notes about the fanart, but the person who made it has probably only seen the desktop version and not the mobile version.

ariasune

This is such a wild glitchy discourse, I’m honestly fascinated by this. Neither side knows what the other is talking about.

glumshoe

This is INCREDIBLY weird. I see different versions when I switch between app and browser, too. How would that even happen? Did the OP upload one screencap and later updated it with a different screencap, and for some reason Tumblr is disseminating both images as one?

Anyway, there’s a lot of outrage in the notes that only makes sense if you see the mobile version. On mobile it appears that people are blithely romanticizing a rape when they are in fact interacting with an innocent version of the same post… how weird.

(Note: there are a lot of versions of the same Greek myths that were often told very differently by different storytellers, so if people are free to create consensual and minimally creepy versions of Hades and Persephone, I think the same liberties should be permitted for other myths.)

another absolutely fantastic trope is when a scifi/fantasy character calls the oblivious object of their affections a term of endearment in their fictional first language during an emotional moment which they refuse to translate, and their love interest assumes due to the unresolved sexual tension fuelled rivalry aspect of their relationship that it's an insult, only to have their world absolutely rocked to its core when they finally manage to get a translation and realize that the other person has been pining for them the entire goddamn time

like,

character a: it's just, i try so hard but i honestly think [character b] hates me. i mean, they called me a [untranslated word or phrase] a few weeks ago, and they've hardly looked, let alone spoken to me since then :(

person they're talking to: "[untranslated word or phrase]"? are you sure?

character a: ...i think so. why?

person they're talking to: hmm. yeah. well that's uh. well it's not an insult. that's a declaration of love.

character a: w

character a: what

agirlwithachakram

inquisitor: yeah so it turns out corypheus is like an archdemon, he can just jump into the nearest tainted creature, except he doesn’t die when he jumps to a grey warden, he just steals their body

hawke, who BROUGHT ANDERS AND CARVER TO KILL CORYPHEUS:

big-ass-magnet

Varric: It’s a random proximity thing.

Carver: Bitch, I was in proximity!

agirlwithachakram

corypheus’s soul, heading to the nearest Warden: ah, nice body, already a powerful mage, and–

*sees Justice boarding up the windows and turning on the NO VACANCY neon sign*

corypheus: on second thought, that fucked up old man over there looks good too

Zombie horror where anything vaguely resembling a human gets infected too. Survivor finds a mannequin with bite marks. Moments later, it begins to breathe.

There’s a genuine fear of anything related to humans too. Most toys (especially dolls) are banned at safe havens. Images of people are torn up before the paper starts groaning. Movie posters, magazines, and comics are soaked with blood. “If it’s got a face, it’s got to go”

Most people don’t have a reflection anymore.

So I looked up a mini golf place nearby and I guess they’re only open for 30 minutes in the dead of night on Thursdays only.

i learned that in ancient Athens, only the 300 wealthiest citizens had to pay tax; this was considered a high honor, and taxpayers competed to provide the greatest public good (x)

Brass nails and why I have them.

Ever since last night I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my brass fingernails. First of all. NO, they are not prosthesis. i have them for a specific reason.

Here’s what they look like:

another view

HERE’s is the reason:

I bite my nails all the time. constantly, idly, without thinking.

If you’re like me, and love giving back scratches, then having no nails is a problem:

Here’s how chose to fix this problem:

Shoot bullet, collect casing.

cut bullet.

The bullets have a taper inside. we will want the broader side of the taper to be outward on our nails, and the thinner side against the rear of the nail so there is no jutting up of material when they are glued on. Here’s what that taper looks like, one cylinder is flipped over to show how thick it is at the base:

clip, bend, and trim into a nail shape:

sand for a fine (BUT NOT CUTTING SHARP) edge on the front and smooth edges.

Glue with Krazy glue, it’s the best.

it’ll dry quick. NOW TRY BACK SCRATCHES. LOOK AT THIS DIFFERENCE.

Amazing. the nails will stay on for about a week at a time before working themselves loose, when that happens just scrape the glue off and reapply.

Unless you happen to have reached into the closet and snagged it on your shelves and broke the nail off on your pinky cuz holy god that hurt. reapply anyways.

Also these work as screwdrivers, knives and various other multi-tools at the tip of your finger, so that’s pretty rad. I don’t know how odd i should feel about having done this, but i must say; it’s handy as hell and really fun to have nails again.

OH, also you can shine them with “brasso” or something but screw that, I’ve tried that and they get mirror bright and really annoyingly shiny. not my thing.

cannibality-deactivated20250227

excellent

this is some steampunk shit and i love it

Holy shit, this is literally the coolest thing I’ve read all day.

“Here’s how I chose to fix this problem:

how the fuck did the fire nation beat fucking anyone their element can't do shit to any of the others

shoot fire at an airbender? they blow fire back in your face now you got burn face

a waterbender sends a wave at you and you defend with fire? congrats dipshit now you've turned that attack into steam in your eyes at best or boiling water on your skin at worst

you throw fire they throw rock you get hit with hot rock war over

saltytocrusade

Literally the only way the fire nation fought enemies was with slow technological veachiles (drills and air boats) and fucking AMBUSHING PEOPLE. AND IT WAS MAINLY AMBUSHING CIVILIANS (against the Geneva Convention). The fire nations army is full of war criminals

princecharmingtobe

You think they have the Geneva Convention in ATLA? They don’t even have Geneva.
