Australia is Not Okay Right Now!

This photo is from Mallacoota- a town where 4000 are currently trapped on the beachfront by fires. This photo is an hour and a half old. The news article linked is two hours old.

Australia is currently fucked. Near every state is reporting record-breaking temperatures- one state alone has lost over 3,000,000 hectares- California’s fires was 1.3 million, for comparison. We don’t know how many homes are lost, because breaking through some of these fire fronts now is a work in progress; to get to the people still stuck inside them. We have several dead and several more missing, four of those who’ve died were volunteer firefighters. 

These fires aren’t just affecting smaller, regional towns; Sydney and Adelaide have been under threat for over a month. The fire that trapped people above? It started overnight. There was no threat in that area prior; people weren’t told to evacuate from there. 

Many of these fires are now creating their own weather systems, so conditions are not getting better.

My friends have told me internationally they’re hearing nothing on this, so please, talk about this with those around you. Australia is in trouble. This is barely the start of our summer period. We are already breaking 100-year-old maximum temperature records. So much of the country is still in drought, and so much more is stuck in dry conditions that essentially leave people living in a tinderbox.

Australia is not okay! The world should be talking about it!

60 fires started between midnight and 10am on the 31st of the 12th 2019. There is a megafire 3 hours away from my HOUSE. There is a megafire literally on the doorstep of a retirement home. As of 15 minutes ago, 2 more people have died.

Can someone explain what’s happening besides someone being reborn?

[naamahdarling]

In the first comic, which is from the Warrior’s point of view, the Warrior has defeated the Monster, who jeers that there will always be another Monster to fight. The Monster dissolves into mist, leaving another tiny, baby Monster in its place. The Warrior picks up this helpless new baby Monster and carries it away. They will try again and do better this time.

In the second comic, which is from the Monster’s point of view, the Monster says that this has to happen; it can’t come with the Warrior, and there will always be another.  It tells the Warrior to use what they have learned to fight.  It wants to die knowing that the Warrior has hope for the future.  It dissolves into mist, and the exhausted Warrior collapses. The new baby Monster comes and brings the Warrior some water in a leaf.  Because we are reading this in the Monster’s voice, we realize that it is a new Monster, but also somehow, magically, the same.  We also see that the Monster is not inherently evil.  It is only very strong, and inevitable.

The third comic is a dialogue between the Monster and the Warrior.  The Warrior is exhausted and horrifically wounded. The Monster is also horribly maimed.  They are both dying. The Warrior doesn’t want to fight anymore.  The Monster tells them to rest and heal. The Warrior hands over their amulet, and we see the Monster’s paw become a hand just before they both dissolve into mist.  It clears, revealing that the Monster has turned into a beautiful humanoid, who says they will take care of the new baby monster the Warrior has turned into.  The two have changed roles.  The Warrior takes up the former Warrior’s gear and strides into the new year with the new baby Monster riding on their shoulders.

It is a beautiful, ruthless, hopeful metaphor about keeping up the good fight, year after year, even when we are worn down, and how we can still face the new year with hope and light, no matter how painful the last one was, and how it is okay to rest if we can’t fight.

[naamahdarling]

It’s not the new year, but things are so difficult for so many of us right now, and we are so worn down from so many fights on so many fronts, I feel like we could all use this again.  Love, rest, fight, love.

[selectivegeekwithstandards]

Thankyou so much for the explanation. 

[born-potty]

You know what? Since heterosexual people are called straight, I’m starting a petition for homosexuals to be called curved. All bi folks can be flamberge.

Straight.

Curved.

Flamberge.

I admit I’m not familiar with all the orientations, but feel free to educate me and I’ll try to find something that fits. Be a weapon. Fuck the system.

[born-potty]

Pansexual people don’t discriminate, as far as I know. So basically they’re all over the place. The first thing that popped into my mind was the urumi, which is a cool ass fucking sword whip and I love it to little pieces.

I didn’t even have to think about asexuals. I’ve been using swords for sexual folks, and asexuals aren’t always into that. They can be, but aren’t always. So, I picked something that hacks and cuts and slices but ain’t a sword. Ace people, you are now axes.

Demiromantic people only fall for people whom they know intimately (I mean really well, you degenerates). So, I picked this thing because it takes a fuckton of practice to get good. Demis, take a bow.

[born-potty]

Transgender means you are born one thing but identify as another. Well. Sounds like a confusing time, tbh. That reminds me of the pata, which is a gauntlet and sword all rolled into one.

[born-potty]

Cisgender means that you’re born one thing and stick to it. This is a bamboo stick. You cut a piece of bamboo and then hit things with it. You get what you see, really. We even have a sport/martial art based on the activity.

[born-potty]

Okay so genderfluid means your gender ain’t fixed and can be anything at any time. That… sounds even more all over the place than pansexuality but hey who cares. You people get the lantern shield (why the Italians made this idk), as it is JUST as all-over-the-place.

[born-potty]

Intergender means someone whose gender lies between male and female. You get the sidesword, which was a transitional weapon between the regular arming sword and the rapier. Note the development of a complex hilt, which gets cranked up to eleven in rapiers.

Androgyny refers to peeps who are simultaneously masculine and feminine, as far as I can tell. Folks, this is a matchlock rifle combined with an axe. Because it’s badass. So are you.

[born-potty]

This thing has 100 notes. Why does it have 100 notes. This has no business getting 100 notes. 

Dude, I made this silly little thing to help me remember all the different kindsa stuff. I keep forgetting them but the swords help.

Well, I hope this helps y’all choose your D&D weapon, if nothing else.

[born-potty]

I’m writing this as there are 743 notes. You guys seem to really like this for some reason. I should tell you that I have little to no knowledge about all the different sexual orientations and gender identities there are. So if you identify with something and it’s not here, you know why. I do know weapons, though, so I’ll try my best to accommodate as many as I can.

That being said, let’s do this.

Polysexual refers to people who are attracted to more than one gender. Unlike pansexuals, they don’t like everything. So, something that does many things but not everything and no at all-over-the-place. This is a kukri, a multi-purpose survival tool used by the Gurkhas. They’re used in war, hunting, chopping wood, and come with little tools to sharpen your blade, start fires etc.

Genderflux is a gender identity in which the gender intensity varies over time. So sometimes you’re all ‘HELL YEAH’ about it and sometimes you’re ‘meh‘. Katanas are like that. They’re hyped up to the moon but really, they’re not all that special. It’s a sword that does what it’s designed to do, and does it well, but it doesn’t cut through tanks and boulders. Which broke my heart, tbvh.

Greyromantics are those who can experience romantic attraction, but do so infrequently. This is a chakram, a flying frisbee of death. The outer edge is sharp and will slice well into exposed skin. You won’t land a hit all the time, so the Sikh warriors carried multiple on them. But if they land, hoo boy.

Also, a bonus.

^ Just know that I cackled. Satan is happy.

[born-potty]

So, seeing as how this thing just blew the fuck up, I feel the need to clarify something.

Flamberge refers to the shape of the blade. It is not the name of the sword.

Flamberge means flame-shaped sword. It’s weird and cool-looking and exists because some smith probably went “Because I CAN” one day. These things existed over a wide geographical area. From Germany’s flammenschwert zweihander:

To rapiers

The Persian shamshir

The Indian talwar

And, as pictured above, the Indonesian kris

So, all you raging bi people, you’re practically firebenders. Form a fire nation and change everything.

[born-potty]

2403 notes guys you need to Stop This

That being said, another update.

For everyone who has yet to come out, you get the cane sword. Walk around with it and nobody will know. Unless you stab them.

And for those who don’t yet know what they are, I’m calling you all Rogues. So stealthy that not even you know what’s going on. As such, you get the bagh nakh, meaning tiger claw (tiger nail is the literal translation). You slip it on, putting the hoops through your index and pinkie, and voila, you can stealth slice stuff off people. Hidden blade whom’st?

[born-potty]

Well. 6,500 notes. I didn’t know so many people liked swords and shit. Seriously, I’m glad you guys liked it so much, but this is the last update. I hope you enjoy it.

Maverique refers to a non-binary gender that exists outside of the orthodox social bounds of gender. This is a man-catcher, and it basically does what it says on the tin. It is a polearm, and was in use till as late as the 1700s. you stuck them around the waist or neck of people and caught them. It’s like Pokemon Go but for soldiers and city guards. From transporting prisoners to catching and  pushing off people trying to climb the walls of a castle, this was a very… unorthodox but versatile weapon.

Novigender refers to a gender that is super complex and impossible to describe in a single term. This is a balestrino. Also called an assassin’s crossbow. Nobody fucking knows whether these were toys or actual weapons. Knowing the Italians, it was probably both. It’s about the size of a very large cucumber, if that. Certainly fits the bill.

Autosexual refers to people who aren’t usually sexually attracted to others and prefer touching themselves instead. Well, this one was hard, I won’t lie. Something that can be used by itself without an aid… there are many things like that, but then I remembered the gada. It’s a kind of mace, very Indian, and you swing it around and hit shit with it. Sometimes they have nails or spikes at the end. Usually quite heavy, these ones seem to be in the 40 kilogram range.

So there you go. Joe bless you all.

[born-potty]

If I got 1 USD for every note on this dumb post, it’d equal 133 years of my monthly salary.

[born-potty]

Guys, let this post go. It’s been months and I wake up to a random 500 notes.

Or at least reblog the full version. Sigh.

[born-potty]

20,129 notes.

You crazy bastards. You absolutely mental fartblossoms. Twenty thousand, one hundred and twenty nine. Fuck me, I don’t even have as many strands of hair on my head! You utter assholes, d’you know what happens when you take this kinda shit and run with it? Do you? Huh? Do you know what happens when you create demand this lustily?

SUPPLY FOLLOWS, YOU SORRY LOT OF OOMPA LOOMPAS.

SO SADDLE UP, AMIGOS, WE’RE GOIN’ FOR THIS RIDE AGAIN! AND FIRST ON THE LIST ARE AROMANTICS!

It’s the most often asked question in the notes (yeah, I read them all, you degenerates), and now I shall answer it. Aro people, embrace the most OP weapon of all time: the spear.

The spear has always gotten the shaft (hehe) and has been in the shadow of the sword. Why? Well, compare the number of magic swords you’ve heard about against the number of magic spears. Try to imagine a knight saving a princess or slaying a dragon… with a spear. Exactly. It’s easier to romanticise the sword. And since the spear isn’t looked at in a romantic light, it’s perfect for aromantic folk. Don’t worry, the reach advantage ensures that you’ll pwn sword-wielders most of the time. Poke away!

@petermorwood​ asked me what these things might represent. For those who don’t know, this a triple-bladed katar. I’d say this represents multigender people rather nicely. Multigender folk have more than one gender identity (bi, tri, quad, quint, poly, pan). Why bother having one when you can catch ‘em all?

Agender is basically not identifying as any gender, period. While all the entries so far have been cutty, stabby, hacky and smashy types, this particular weapon ain’t about that life. Shields are boss (hehe) because while they don’t do any of that, they can still fuck you up. Perfect to have for a neutral party. Or even home defence.

That’s it from me, Tumblr. I’m glad you’ve kept this dumbass thing alive for as long as you have, and I’m very, very grateful. Please don’t take this to 30k. Ok?

[rip-paramour]

LAST YEAR WE CAN REBLOG THIS GUYS

[wobbeegong]

you do not get to be pissed at the mcelroy’s for not making indruck canon

there are so many things about the amnesty campaign you can wish were different. the big set up for indrid’s importance to the finale arc and then the let down when he was barely a part of it is one of them. the duck/minerva student/mentor relationship turning romantic is another. there’s stuff that the mcelroys themselves have said they could have done different in regards to storytelling and set up of lore. etc. there are actual elements of this arc that you can be frustrated with, but indrid and duck not being romantic is not one of them.

there was never a set up for indrid and duck ending up together. this is coming from someone who ships it and regularly reads fic for it. not once did they have a conversation that could’ve tied into an end game romance. not once did griffin or justin or anyone even remotely hint to this possibility. everything we as a fandom have accepted about indruck is headcanon created by us. we don’t get to be angry at griffin for not using our headcanons in his campaign, no matter how aggressively we push them.

and you certainly don’t get to act like any of the mcelroys have betrayed their gay fans and that we “should have never trusted four white cishet men” to deliver representation when two our of the three canon couples of this season were gay. theres always been a blatant ignorance of danbrey despite being the main romance of the campaign. we got the cryptid/government official romance of our dreams with sternclay. you don’t get to insinuate that we were misled or queerbaited because what you wanted to happen didn’t end up happening. the mcelroys have constantly given us the representation we deserve. use that misplaced energy on pieces of media that don’t do what taz does.

So you like those anime pirates
