thinking wistfully once again about the au where fox accidentally kills palpatine, and then the whole coruscant guard loyally weekend-at-bernies the chancellor of the republic around for three days, trying to find a way to fake palpatine’s public death in a way that won’t lead back to their commander before he can break out of the holding cell thorn has him in and actually turn himself in for murder to someone who cares.

Art imitates life... My little cousin used to paint all those kinda tabbys green. A nice, dark, forest green.

I don't know if the kid was colorblind or whatever, cause our tabby was a nice normal drab brown

“But the question is, Did John Brown fail? He certainly did fail to get out of Harpers Ferry before being beaten down by United States soldiers; he did fail to save his own life, and to lead a liberating army into the mountains of Virginia. But he did not go to Harpers Ferry to save his life.

“The true question is, Did John Brown draw his sword against slavery and thereby lose his life in vain? And to this I answer ten thousand times, No! No man fails, or can fail, who so grandly gives himself and all he has to a righteous cause. No man, who in his hour of extremest need, when on his way to meet an ignominious death, could so forget himself as to stop and kiss a little child, one of the hated race for whom he was about to die, could by any possibility fail.” Frederick Douglass, 30 May 1881, oration on the fourteenth anniversary of the raid on Harpers Ferry Link to the Frederick Douglass speech

Sea shanty about a crew disappearing at sea but as it’s sung fewer and fewer people are singing until it’s just one person left.

[chongoblog]

Had a dream that there was a new Pokemon that was ghost type and it was like. Half a greyhound. It was a spectral dog that was known as one of the fastest Pokemon. And yet it only had it front legs. There were wispy floating stubs on its back half which sort of implied there COULD be legs, but they never reached even close to the ground. It stood on its front legs as if the back legs were still there.

I don’t know what this Pokemon’s name was but its appeared in many of my dreams so either they made it real and I forgot or I’m being haunted by a Fakemon.

[chongoblog]

I have been informed it is not a real Pokemon so I’ll share another detail I recall seeing about it more than once.

One of its main features about it is that it could run stupidly fast, like, a solid 100 MPH (at least thats my best guess from a dream) but more impressively or eerily is that it could go from 100 to 0 almost immediately, stopping in a stance where it stood up straight and at attention

I think I love this weird dream dog

[chongoblog]

I assume this is for artists so sure thing

I imagine that this dog is very tall and sleek (like a good five feet tall), with a sickly pale (with just a hint of light blue hue). Its eyes are a pure empty (yet still piercing somehow) white. Along its front half across the back and its legs are pale green sets of stripes, almost like racing stripes.

As for how the ghostly “back legs” worked, they looked sort of like this

with his physical form slowly transitioning into an pale blue ectoplasm, and there were amorphous hints of what could have possibly once been legs. Despite completely missing his back half, the posture seen here is still its regular posture, standing straight up, as if a soldier at attention.

Hope this helps!

Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:

Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are

Trauma - same reason as above

Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!

Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.

In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.

Play devil's advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!

[casperscove-deactivated20221016]

adding on to this post, i agree w all of OPs points, but i also highly advise against super young teens posting their face on the internet, its so easy to take peoples selfies + name and find stuff out like your school and then figure out the rough area in which you live. same with your phone number. be super careful about what you put out there. once you post it, it really is here forever.

[mylordshesacactus]

OP already said this so I’m just reiterating to emphasize:

The golden rule of information sharing on the internet is: What would happen if someone saw this who wanted to hurt me?

If the answer is that it would make it easier to harass you, identify you, contact you, or god forbid find you, don’t put it online. You can’t fully control who does and does not see that information--not even with privacy settings.

Ahaha, the reason why Mohammad is specifically mentioned as not being able to be there is because in Islam, portrayals and portraits of Mohammad are forbidden.  But they didn’t want to be seen as either hand waving him as at the table but not shown or as explicitly omitted.

Very smart move there advertising script writers.

[indigobluerose]

was that last dude a frikkin Jedi

[airyairyquitecontrary-deactivat]

In Australia more than 70,000 people (0.37%) declared themselves members of the Jedi order in the 2001 census.  Now granted, many of them were taking the piss but that is if nothing else a lot of piss-takers.  An even greater percentage of the New Zealand population self-identified as Jedi in the 2001 census - 1.5%, which to put it in perspective is 0.3% more than said they were Buddhists.  We’re due for another census this year (the normal five year pattern got thrown off by the Canterbury earthquake in 2011 so the most recent one was 2013) and due to popular demand it appears that on the new forms, there will actually be a box you can mark for Jedi, rather than it being a write-in option.  (They’re also going to include things like identifying more denominations of Christianity and Judaism and more recently formed systems like Falun Gong, but obviously it’s the Jedi who make for a fun headline.)

So including a Jedi at the table of religious figures reflects an actual cultural (if not sincerely religious) phenomenon in this part of the world.

[micaxiii]

OP’s typo mislead me so hard, I was wondering when LAMPS where gonna get into the picture

[tnerdbean]

Know what I’m salty about?

In all my art classes, I was never taught HOW to use the various tools of art.

Like yes, form, and shape and space and color theory and figure drawing is important, but so is KNOWING what different tools do.

I’m 29 and I JUST learned this past month that India Ink is fucking waterproof when it dries. Why is this important? Because I can line something in India Ink and then go over it with watercolors. And that has CHANGED the ENTIRE way I art and the ease I can create with.

tldr: Art Teachers: teach your students what different tools do. PLEASE.

[spookyscaryscouticus]

WAIT INDIA INK JS WATERPROOF ONCE IT DRIES????? THE ENTIRE REASON IVE AVOIDED MARKERS MY ENTIRE LIFE IS BECAUSE JNK BLEEDS AND YOURE TELLING ME INDIA INK IS

F U C K I N G W A T E R P R O O F

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

yall calligraphers out there this is extremely fuckin important if u wanna get into illumination shenanigans because i swear to you there will b discoveries like these^

heres some of mine, pls take with a grain of salt im a total gotdamn amateur:

a lot of the time, the ability for colored ink to bleed will vary wildly WITHIN A SINGLE BRAND OF COLORED INKS. my cobalts bleed like fucking CRAZY compared to my reds, which, when u reference manuscripts that tend to put white ink ON TOP of either red or blue… you see where shit gets real and real annoying. 

u can buy an aeresol, fully transparent workable sealant for like 5-10 dollars at your local art store. when i realize a piece ive been working on needs a color on TOP of a bleed happy ink, i give it a layer of this stuff. trouble is it CAN warp the paper so its important as soon as it dries to use heavy things (paperweights, books) to counteract the paper curling.

ink solvent, like koh i noor’s rapido-eeze, is only compatible with SOME inks, but will work on most acrylics. If you happen to be working with sturdy vellum that you have pre-sealed, it can be possible to literally use ink solvent to wipe away your calligraphy mistake like a goddamn bounty commercial

[sarahlumweejee]

Shit I Learned Working At Dick Blick: 

WD40, found at your local hardware store, will remove Sharpie marker from almost any hard surface. 

 Acrylic inks will show brush strokes in large areas but are waterproof and quick-drying. 

 Acrylic gouache is vivid, fluid, dried matte, is UTTERLY opaque on black paper, handles exactly like watercolor, and is waterproof. 

Putting an oil painting in the sun will turn the yellowed portions back to their original white and wont hurt the painting. 

 Cheap acrylic paintings will bleach out if left in the sun - get UV protectant spray or varnish. Nicer acrylic paints are less prone to sun bleaching, but they still do. Plan accordingly. Oil paints are much less prone to this. 

Solvent-based markers blend together MUSH MORE SMOOTHLY than alcohol-based markers. 

There is an acrylic paint medium for literally every effect you can conceivably think of (fabric paint medium, gloss medium, fluid medium, sand medium, fast-dying/slow-drying medium, etc.). 

 If you’re going to buy student-grade paint to save cash, buy earth-tones (burnt sienna, ochre, etc.); they are made with cheap pigments already, and you wont tell a difference. You WILL tell a difference between student-grade and artist-grade bright colors (all yellows, blues, and reds). 

If you’re working with markers but aren’t using marker paper, you need to switch. Markers don’t blend on printer paper, they just layer (even expensive markers). 

If you want a glass palette for paint mixing but don’t want to shell out the cash, buy a giant picture frame at Goodwill, take the glass out, and electrical tape it to a piece of foam board the same size for stability. 

 Hog bristle brushes are for oil paint, sable brushes are for watercolor, and synthetic brushes are for acrylic and oil (but not watercolor because synthetic bristles can’t absorb water). 

 If you’re going to splurge on any aspect of your creation, splurge on the paper. Get the good stuff - crappy markers/paint/pencils look good on good paper, but not the other way around.  (There is more, but these are the big ticket items)

[stoneybaloneyskeletony]

Some more, also from working at Dick Blick:

- Palette knives are for mixing paint and TRUST ME you want to learn how to use them. When you mix with your brush you loose paint and it’s hard in your brushes.

- DO NOT FIX YOUR ARTWORK WITH HAIRSPRAY. If you’re proud of your work and want to keep it, buy the actual spray fix. Hairspray is not archival in the slightest and will damage your work.

- On top of that, be careful how you store your work. Newsprint is handy and cheap, but also not acid-free and it will yellow your paper. Foamboard? Matboard? Also not always acid-free (but you can get them acid-free).

- There is no food-safe paint. Period. There are lots of ways you can decorate pottery that aren’t glazes, but only glazes are food safe (and even some of those aren’t).

- Also not food safe: Polymer clay (sculpey), air dry clay, oil-based clay, ceramics that have not been glaze fired, oil pastels, sharpie, glues of any kind, or mod podge (even the ‘dishwasher safe’ kind).

- Don’t even get me started on mod podge. It’s not consistent. It’s not archival. It’s not a sealant, it’s a glue (setting aside some of the weird hyper-specific ones they make that I’ve literally never seen in real life).

- If your glue isn’t archival or at least acid-free, don’t use it in your artwork.

- There are so many different kinds of paper out there, just go try them. But also make sure you know if it’s acid-free or not (it probably is).

- Marker paper is usually 15 to 20 lbs. News print is usually 30 to 35 lbs. Tracing paper is usually 25 lbs. Rice paper can range from 20 to 50 lbs. Printer paper is 20 lbs. Vellum paper is usually 48 to 55 lbs. Sketchbook paper is usually 50 to 60 lbs. Drawing paper is usually 70 to 80 lbs. Cardstock can range from 50 to 110 lbs. Charcoal paper is usually 50 to 65 lbs. Pastel paper can range from 70 lbs to board. Bristol paper can range from 50 lbs to board. Mixed media paper can range from 90 to 140 lbs. Printmaking paper can range from lbs 90 to 300 lbs. Watercolor paper can range from 90 to 500 lbs.

- The heavier and rougher the paper is, the more it will absorb. If you’re using a paper too smooth for your medium it will take forever to dry and may smudge. If you’re using a paper too light for your medium, it will warp and curl.

- If you’re working heavily with water, you need to stretch your paper (aka seal down your edges of the paper to a hard, water resistant surface). If you don’t like doing that because it’s a hassle, buy a watercolor block instead of a pad/individual peices.

- If you’re working on a thicker paper, and make a mistake that your can’t erase or cover- you can scrape and/or cut it out! With a really sharp exacto knife, you can very CAREFULLY remove the top layer of paper fibers on most paper.

- DO NOT USE ACRYLIC AS BODY PAINT. It’s plastic.

- If you paint with oil, buy a silicoil jar. It’s the best $10 you’ve ever spent.

- Acrylic paint is basically water-based plastic. It will basically fuse with anything plastic (like a plastic palette), and will not stick to anything oil-based.

- Acrylic paint and house paint are not the same thing and you cannot mix them together. Acrylic paint is made from a water-based acrylic polymer, and house paint is almost always latex and can come both water-soluable and not.

Gentle reminder here that there are elder queers out there. Real elders, people in their 80s and 90s who survived, who are here. You can get there, old age does exist for us.

I know an old lesbian couple who have been married since the moment they legalized it. One woman can hardly walk anymore but she loves Hallmark ornaments, so her wife supports her against her walker during Christmas so she can look at them more easily.

I know a transgender man who started transitioning only 10 years ago at 60, and he's brilliant and funny and brings his grandchildren by to get sweets.

I know an asexual woman who, beamed and told me she absolutely loved not having a husband, and that she "never once regretted not getting married. I never felt that way about anybody! Why force it?" She lives with her parrot and loves salsa dancing.

Our elders exist. So many of us have been wiped out and erased on purpose, but we're here. And that means you can get there. When you're old and grey, when you're retired and done, there will be people who will love you and will care for you.

[transhumanoid-deactivated202106]

might have made this post a couple years ago but how far back along the evolutionary tree do you have to go before it’s bestiality to have sex with early hominids? I think australopithecus is too far but that’s just an upper bound

[transhumanoid-deactivated202106]

actually wait since humans are largely differentiated from our ancestors by neotenous traits maybe it would be pedophilia for an australopithecus to have sex with a human. and bestiality the other way. might have just discovered a new kind of crime

[transgenderer]

i think everyone in the homo erectus group is close enough to not be bestiality, so australopithecus is exactly the most human-like being for whcih it would still be bestiality. i googled some pictures of homo ergaster and like…yeah thats a dude

[notourz]

Yeah, fucking lucy is definitely bestiality. Australopithecines are just upright apes and don’t share many traits with anatomically modern humans. It’s still a point of contention if we really know that Lucy and her kind were actually our ancestors. Additionally, I HAVE to ask my professors this question now and i can already feel their brain doing backflips to answer

[notourz]

@transhumanoid @transgenderer

My prof finally got back to me, a pretty non answer imo

[reginaldqueribundus]

only on tumblr to people ask questions like “would it be ethical to fuck my primate ancestor from 400,000 years ago?”

[luminesenthydrothermalventgirl]

The answer is no, mainly because you’re almost defiantly related

[reginaldqueribundus]

the unexpected answer we all ignored: it’s not bestiality, but it is incest

[theredkite]

So this post travelled from “is sex with homo habilis bestiality” to “sex with homo heidlebergensis is incest” and I’m now curious as to where it can go next. Presumably “sex with homo sapiens is SIN” which… does seem to be where a lot of tumblr posts go, come to think of it.

[captainlordauditor]

I’m not sure if fucking an australopithicus would necessarily be bestiality. I feel like it might be monsterfucking.

[mikkeneko]

Great post everyone

[cerusee]

I have some real bad news for anybody here whose criteria for “is it incest if I fuck them” is like “we share any genetic material” because oh boy, well

[marlinspirkhall]

I heard that modern humans are all, at most, 50th cousins- there was a genetic bottleneck in human history because they think there was a mass extinction event which left only 10,000 of us alive. So, good job, humans.

[redshiftsinger]

So what you’re saying is it’s LESS incestuous to fuck an australopithicus than a homo sapiens

[alarajrogers]

Guys, the important consideration is the one we cannot know without a time machine. if you ask an australopithecine if they want to fuck, do they say “Yes” in a language that some kind of universal translator can comprehend? Or do they say “EEEE eee eeee ooo eee?”

If they have language and can and do say yes, it’s monsterfucking. If they don’t, it’s bestiality.

[elfwreck]

Tumblr: As usual, tackling the important ethical issues of the day.

Can we just at least agree that, in this day and age, fucking most of them would be necrophilia?

Funeral Au!

So I’ve seen a lot of Justice League and BatFam meet Danny Phantom and it’s usually due to a fight/summoning/investigation/relation.

All of which are absolutely amazing! But I haven’t seen a SINGLE fic of them meeting Danny because they straight up crashed his funeral.

I’m also not talking about full-ghost Danny, our boy is still VERY much a Halfa.

Seriously consider the comedy that can be achieved with this.

I’m picturing it’s like at least a year after Danny beat Pariah Dark and all the citizens have pretty much accepted the fact that Phantom is their undead hero whom they’ve come to love.

Danny has pretty much fallen into a routine with his rouge gallery and although Amity is still 100% ghost infested it’s doing a lot better then it was with dealing with ghost attacks and ignoring the weirdness that pops up.

Then enter a well meaning child who has been taught that if you want to show appreciation to someone who is dead you put their favourite flowers on their grave. This kid who was just saved/ has been saved before by Phantom basically catches Danny with his metaphorical pants down when they innocently ask “where’s your grave? I want to give you flowers.”

Danny “no-brain-to-mouth-filter-when-panicked-and-has-been-surrounded-in-ghost-culture” Fenton’s first and only response is “I don’t have one cause no one mourns for me. Graves are only made for those who had people who cared that they died.” realizing what he just stated and then fleeing as fast as he can.

Amity Park gets a wake up call that THIS IS A DEAD CHILD, who, as Phantom was so kind to point out, DOES NOT HAVE A GRAVE AND OMG THERE ISN’T EVEN A MISSING CHILD REPORT AND HAVE WE BEEN RELYING ON A MURDERED KID TO SAVE US???????!!!!!!

Cue panic and Amity Park just going we need to show this Kid we care about him so lets give him a funeral. Danny is oddly touched and put off by the entire situation but honestly it’s also one more thing that protects his identity so overall it ain’t a bad thing.

Now look at it from the side of The Justice League/BatFam/other hero.

Amity Park’s news paper is probably going ballistic with trying to show their precious ghost kid that they care and love him and thus have a entire section dedicated to the major fights and situations he’s saved them from over the course of his hero career. They are trying to show him that his efforts are recognized and that he is appreciated and at the very end there is the mention of a funeral to be held for “Amity’s Greatest Hero”. Just to really hit home the point that they care for him.

Whatever hero/hero group that comes across a copy of the paper has no context for anything in said paper.

Amity Parkers are the only ones who read it anyways so why would they need to specify that their hero is a ghost? That the villains who attack the city are ghosts? Besides, the paper is meant for Phantom, scattered as much as possible so he can read when he gets a chance.

The hero/heroes are just left heartbroken and speechless because:

The situation in Amity Park is on the level of World ending threats and very much not the local vigilante with local villains standard that normal “small cities” deal with.

Apparently inter-dimensional beings have been invading Earth only to be stopped by a *wheezes* 14 to 16???!!! Year old (possibly inter-dimensional as well or local meta) child.

That child is the only one competent enough to hold the beings back.

That child is dead

This would be a we must go pay our respects to this child hero and we should investigate and set up protection so that all that this kid worked for isn’t for nothing.

Cue Amity’s public funeral for Phantom being crashed by the Justice League with everyone and their grandparents being the definition of confused. Better yet have it so there is a truce for Danny’s funeral so his rouges (who were 100% in the newspaper that the hero(es) read) are sitting/floating in the audience. Boxy is in the middle of a very tearful speech and Phantom is blushing so hard he is actively a glow-stick.

How it goes from there is up to the fic writer but honestly it would be so funny to have the Justice League meet Danny at his own funeral and him actively having to explain that yes ghosts exist and yes his rouges are in attendance cause they may be villains but they are “respectful and understanding villains fuck-you-very-much. Ancients can you believe that they think we’d attack the kid during his funeral! The audacity of some people.”

I just find that there is so many possibilities that can be tied in with the funeral and it can change to be as light hearted or as angsty as one wants it to be.

"quiet quitting" is just "I do my job and I don't do the extra shit like, oh, say, unpaid overtime," oh no! poor employers! how dare employees have, gasp, boundaries!

[drst]

This is actually “work to rule” and the whole “quiet quitting” thing is a corporate PR rebranding to make it sound like a bad thing, because “working according to the rules and doing what is specifically required of you” sounds totally logical whereas “quiet quitting” implies you are not doing your job correctly.

It’s different than malicious compliance, which is where employees follow procedures to an exact measure as a form of protest for bad working conditions.

[kitping]

The point (well, one of the points) of work to rule is to make systemic wage theft blatantly obvious. Anyone complaining about it is complaining that they’ve been stealing money from you and it got pointed out.

Let me say it louder: someone using the phrase “quiet quitting” to disapprove of work-to-rule either IS STEALING from you or is announcing they ARE WILLING TO STEAL from you.
