Favorite Dream Addresses

i dream all the time and heres the coolest dream addresses i’ve visited. i’ll probably add to this later.

Japanese Sea Town ぴーぴっぴ (Pippi) - DA-4996-3658-9319———- It actually feels like a slice of life summer anime, featuring a sweet outdoor classroom, train station, seaside. Very cool and nostalgic vibes.

Skull Island - DA-4504-5245-5281——————————————— Very cool pirate town, featuring an amazing fortified stone wall all the way around. Theres a fire pit and a secret base for the pirates. Its raining and dark which adds to the mood.

The Moon - DA-8516-2674-4194———————————————- Feels like the literal surface of the moon, complete with an astronaut camp where the villagers live. Theres an astronaut suit you can put on by the airport!

St. Nesoi - DA-5631-7095-2337———————————————— My favorite town that I’ve seen, and gives me a lot of inspiration. The villager houses are arranged very well and the layout is really good all around. Theres a golf course as well

I can’t do dresses for texture and gender reasons... BUT THAT JUST MEANS I HAVE MORE ROOM ON THE TROUSERLEGS AND JACKETS OF MY EDUCATIONAL SUIT COLLECTION.

“Witches for Hire” a comic Deerthing and I collaborated on… a WHILE ago for the second Beyond anthology as a PDF bonus comic. I finally took the time to make not enormous files of it to post online. Now seems like the BEST time to spread some witchy/fae/magic queer fluff.

We did absolutely base the Unicorn’s glamour on my chihuahua Nico (RIP, I miss you so much my dear sweet little potato prince <3)

Highkey kinda wish that instead of beheading him, Mace Windu had started dating Jango Fett instead.

Mango would be the greatest power couple in Star Wars.

I ship it now.

punsbulletsandpointythings

Yes. Goddammit i need this.

Jango shows up in the middle of a battle Mace and his troops are participating in;

“Hi kids!” *grabs Mace in a dip kiss all while still shooting droids*

Mace’s men are not sure how they feel about this.

yol-ande

If this is the same universe as Obi-Wan/Rex being canon, does it means that Mace Windu becomes Obi-Wan’s kinda father-in-law? Because it would be glorious

jabberwockypie

Honestly you had me at “The ship name is Mango”

avoid-avoidance

So instead of hating all Jedi 5ever, does Boba Fett get adopted? Without that grudge there’s no way he would miss out on the chance to learn how to use a lightsaber (which is probably the only weapon the Fett Arsenal doesn’t already contain). Do we end up with a lightsaber-wielding Boba Fett who learned how to use one from his adopted daddy is what I’m saying.

And wait. Does this mean that the Fett Family Grudge gets applied to the Sith instead of the Jedi, after Anakin defenestrates Mace? By the time ANH rolls around, do we get a Rebellion-sympathetic father and son bounty-hunting team?

Dammit, now I want a 150k+ fic of this..

thelostknee-deactivated20210422

Honestly, yes to all of that.

punsbulletsandpointythings

Boba walking into the council room in the middle of a meeting like “Dad, Jagyc'buir (father)’s gone to -insert seedy-ass planet Mace SPECIFICALLY told Jango not to get involved with because political/Jedi reasons here- and won’t let me go too!”

And the entire Council stares as Mace groans and grabs him comm.

“/Jango/”

“Boba, I told you not to tell him!”

“Well then let me go too!”

“Neither of you are going, Jango get your ass back to Coruscant, I swear to- Was that an explosion?”

“Of course. Gotta go now, Love. See you later. Boba, be good for your Dad, Buir’s off to kill some assholes!” And then the comm goes dead.

Yoda is wayyyy to amused by the entire thing.

thelostknee-deactivated20210422

YOU’RE TEASING ME WITH WHAT WOULD BE AN AMAZING FIC AND I LOATHE AND LOVE YOU FOR IT.

punsbulletsandpointythings

IT WOULD BE AMAZING AND I NEED ALL THE FIC NOW I BLAME YOU SUFFER WITH ME:

Mace starts teaching Boba basic katas. He wants to learn, and Mace doesn’t mind spending some of his rare free time with his lover’s child. Boba'a a fast learner, and it doesn’t take him long to learn the first form. (Force sensitive Boba anyone??)

Jango teaches Mace Mando'a through muffled curses and strings of whispered, dirty promises against the line of the Jedi Master’s neck. He is a cruel, cruel teacher, but Mace /does/ learn quickly (and loves every moment of it, despite his own cursing - “Dammit Jango if you don’t- ngghh.” “Ah ah ah, tell me the word first.” “Fucker.” “True, but not the word I was looking for. Come on, Love, it starts with a v…”)

They have normal lessons too, of course. But those aren’t nearly as fun.

Jango starts hanging around the Temple more and more, despite the Council’s grumblings, and hits it off quite well with Kenobi, and even Skywalker, to an extent.

Mace isn’t sure /when/ exactly Jango and Boba moved in to his rooms, but somewhere along the line it happened, and he can’t bring himself to mind. (Especially when he’s waking up with a warm body wrapped around his own every morning.)

He comes home one day to find Jango and Yoda sitting at Mace’s kitchen table, drinking tea and having what appears to be a very invested conversation about…what, Mace isn’t sure, because he immediately turns around and goes to find someone to spar with.

He’s most definitely not hiding. He is a Jedi Master and above such things.

That’s all I’ve got for the moment.

justastormie

okay okay OKAY

i am down for this because anything that gives boba a halfway happy childhood has my full support, much less a ship named FUCKING MANGO, HEYO. but i think we need a discussion of the very serious philosophical and cultural differences that the two would run into:

lbr their first meeting at Geonisis is less meetcute and more meet-this-trashcan-human-being. Mace is telling himself that getting a Bitch Please look after he just fucking stuck a lightsaber in a man’s face isn’t the start of a beautiful relationship, it’s not even flirting get ahold of yourself man. A Jedi mourns the loss of all life and is definitely not impressed in the detached, warrior part of his mind that holy shit he took a Jedi down in six shots.

Meanwhile Jango is having very conflicting feelings and it is just pissing him off even more. On the one hand look a kin-murdering, dictatorship-supporting, evil kriffing Jedi is shoving a lightsaber in his face. Threatening to orphan his only son while spouting amazingly self-righteous bullshit. Jango wants to reach over and shove that purple glowstick right up Mister Bald And Bitchy’s backside. On the other hand, damn has Bitchy Jedi got Presence. A Presence that says he can kick unholy amounts of ass and is probably stupid good at rugged outdoorsman shit while being equally proficient in technical espionage. Plus he’s like. Stupid hot. What’s a poor Mando to do? Start a fight, duh. And oh crap the Jedi fights really well.

THANK YOU, PERSON THAT JUST REBLOGGED THIS. I’d almost forgotten the glory of Mango. *hugs and cries over all the add ons* fandom can be fantastic.

gallusrostromegalus

Some additional Mango concepts:

-both of them go through a period of “I’m so disappointed in myself. I can’t believe I’m going to fuck him.”

“you don’t have to.” Say zam weasel and depa bilaba.

“no, I’m gonna.” They sigh, face planted so firmly into table that they’re growing roots.

-Boba meeting Caleb and both of them realizing that with a bit of hair product, contacts and some acting, they can totally pass for each other.

-shenanigans peak when depa accidentally takes boba to illum to pick out a kyber crystal.

-zam and depa girls tequila night

-mace’s initial attraction to jango is not just jango calling him an asshole, but having enumerated and sourced reasons why, and, particularly sexy, proposed alternatives to his asshole behavior.

-jango’s initial attraction to mace is watching him fight droids in the style of the 2003 2D cartoon, because there’s very little more attractive to a Mando than someone who can reduce an enemy army to scrap in minutes.

-Palpatine dies of a mysterious exploding disease when both of them absolutely totally have alibis. We promise. They’re just super-classified.

Anime cliches I miss because they don’t really do them any more

The sweatdrop

Liberal use of the V sign, even in situations that did not call for it and does not require a camera to be present.

Falling over because someone said or did something so incredibly stupid it made you lose all strength and will to live.

When they do the anime face thing

Making characters squishy

Fishing 🐟

viivaroo

Still losing my mind over the Animal Crossing series having a Turnip seller, Bug Catching enthusiast and whoever the hell this Beaver was who used to look like this

But now for New Horizons they look like this

Complete bimbo/babyfication

mr-elementle

it's their grandkids, are they not allowed to retire??

viivaroo

Absolutely not

rairix

It's granddaughter and sons, and CJ even drags his dad saying he doesn't actually know how to fish just eat them.

The new characters are a treat. Daisymae will send you bamboo shoots if you buy turnips often enough, Flick will basically pay off your house with his love of bugs, and CJ will talk about his boyfriend and buy fish, as well as hold the fishing tourneys in a much better way than old games.

Tom, Timmy and Tommy haven't aged because they're tanuki which are often considered yokai.

Blathers and the Able sisters got in with Nook early so he shares his power with them.

Kicks started as a young skunk so he can slowly age with the series.

Gulliver is essentially a sailor's ghost stuck to sail the seas.

lacrimalis

yeah that all tracks

tigergirltail

Wait go back to the part where the Nook family are yokai because I don’t think we’ve fully unpacked that yet

strawbebehmod

Tanuki, or Japanese racoon dog, the animal nook, timmy, and tommy are actually based on (it's only localized to racoon); is a famous magical trickster figure in Japanese folk lore.

They liked tricking humans into giving them money by trading them leaves magicly cloaked to look like other objects. Sound familiar?

They are not evil however, just mischivous, and in modern iderations of the mythos they generally bring good luck and fortune to small businesses. People even place their statues outside their stores to bring in customers.

Nook also started out as a small town businessman, down on his luck, and eventually with his quick wit grew his company into a housing empire where he builds homes, furnishes buildings, populates towns, and mentors others in good business practices ala Timmy and tommy, who were his pupils, and Lyle the otter later on.

Lyle being a former conman who likely got in over his head working with one kitsune...speaking of, one of the biggest bits of evidence of Tom nook being a yokai is his bitter rivalry with said fox, Crazy Redd.

Crazy Redd was a character in the series known for running a black market of fake and real art and would regularly con the player character out of their money selling them overpriced items and fake paintings.

In the back lore of wild world and happy home designer we learn that when Nook was young he went to the city with hopes and dreams to earn his fortune, but his dreams were crushed when all his money was stolen from him by a business partner he trusted, thus why he took Timmy and tommy and eventually Lyle under his wing and helped them learn better business practices to avoid, or at least get themselves out of, a similar fate. In happy home designer we learn that Nook once worked with a fox when he was young and he would never make that mistake again. Redd also makes multiple references to nook in that game as well, making fun of his home, ect. You can infer from this that Redd was the fox who cheated him and likely was the same one who broke his spirit in the big city. Tanukis and Kitsunes (fox yokai) have a similar bitter rivalry in mythos, to the death sometimes even.

Kitsunes also have the power of illussion but are much more malicious generally and regularly trick people into thinking sticks and leaves are valuable objects or food, much like Redd tricks people with his paintings.

Inshort Tom nook is a yokai cause Japanese myth inspiration in his character and species. However, this falls under and relies on the same assumption that Redd is also a yokai.

I always love seeing this comic because it interprets Tumblr as a gigantic theater ruled by absolute chaos where sometimes somebody just stands up on their chair and shouts and we all pay attention

sorry I haven’t posted on here in ages. So here’s a collection of What We Do In The Shadows (film) drawings

longingandheartacheandlust

Yennefer thinks Jaskier’s a catty twit (accurately) but also she thinks Geralt has a really good thing going with having his own soundtrack playing for him at all times. she decides to spend a rather large sum hiring Jaskier to follow her around at a few events playing appropriate ominous and/or seductive music

Jaskier think’s Yennefer’s a catty witch (accurately) but a gig’s a gig and he wanted into a couple of those parties anyway so he goes along with it

And it turns out Yennefer’s actually highly entertaining to watch especially when Jaskier lures her into the vicinity of his personal enemies and he gets to watch them damn near piss their pants

And it turns out Jaskier’s actually highly entertaining to listen to especially when Yennefer has him write devastatingly reputation-ruining “this is totally not about you and you can’t prove it’s slander in a court of law” songs about her personal enemies

After a while Geralt realizes he hasn’t seen Jaskier in an unusually long time, hunts them down, and is like “what have you done with my bard”

Yennefer just goes “my bard now.”

Jaskier: [smug lute music]

THIS IS SO COOL

spookyram

woah

spoonyruncible

This is from ‘Beasts of Burden’, a really cool comic about a bunch of dogs (and one cat) protecting their town from the supernatural things that threaten it. It’s spooky and sad and really just fantastic. At one point they teamed up with Hellboy. Everyone should read it (if you don’t mind some pretty dark things happening. it is not a cheerful comic but it is a good one).

paniniville

Hey! So, I loved this comic, and still think about it occasionally, and tonight it was linked to me again with just the right timing so that I hyperfocused and squirreled off to go read everything! They aren’t really numbered well, but the Wikipedia page has a list of them in release order and what anthologies to find them in!

But given that it’s a pain to seek out each one one by one, I’ve got a list of links in order a smidge further down! Please try to support Dark Horse Comics if you can, but if you’re broke like me and still want to read, the Internet is a beautiful place. According to the wiki page, there are at least two more installments to come, scheduled for May 1st and June 5th, but there’s no real update schedule for the series as a whole.

Do note: they are graphic, gory, and sad, with a lot of body horror. But they’re really fantastic.

Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites contains: 1. Stray 2. The Unfamiliar 3. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie 4. A Dog and His Boy 5. The Gathering Storm 6. Lost 7. Something Whiskered This Way Comes 8. Grave Happenings

9. Sacrifice (Hellboy Crossover)

Beasts of Burden: Neighborhood Watch contains: 10. Food Run 11. Story Time 12. The View From The Hill (the one in this post!)

13. Hunters and Gatherers 14. What The Cat Dragged In 15. Wise Dogs and Eldritch Men

northstarfan

The trade collection for “Wise Dogs and Eldritch Men” came out a couple of weeks ago, btw.

“Neighborhood Watch” is due out in October and contains more stories than listed above (including the Hellboy crossover).

thebiscuiteternal

This is one of my favorite series ever and I’m so glad it’s finally getting proper collections instead of one-off anthology appearances.

Warning, though, the story about Hazel and her pups will *destroy* you.

aloneindarknes7

I’d like to add on that there’s a great crossover of Beasts of Burden with Hellboy!

SOS = Save Our Sellers at Etsy

Do you like Etsy? Do you sell there, or buy from artists there, or want to? Soon, something will happen at Etsy. It’s the “Etsy Ads”, probably coming in April or so. Etsy wants to begin using ad networks like Google Ad, Facebook, and probably here on Tumblr too. They want to use the ads to help the Etsy Shops sell their stuff. It seems normal. But. NEVER CLICK A PAID ETSY AD. Artist links and things are fine. But if it’s in some banner, in an ‘ad box’, running on youtube, or whatever, Don’t push it! But…but…“A Horse of Every Color Has An Etsy Store, Why Is It Bad?” Because any sale made TO the person who clicks the ad and buys the product deducts 20% away from the artist in ad fees. It doesn’t matter if it cost Etsy a single nickle to run the ad, they’ll pull 20% out of whatever the price total on the thing that sold. So like this: You make a big pony plush to sell for $100 A person sees the plush in an ad, clicks ad and buys it Etsy pulls a crisp 20 dollar bill out of the sale from you; you sold it for 80 dollars. And this is on top of: Etsy de-listing you or bottoming out your search results/store if you don’t ship free for over 35 dollar purchases. So if your $100 pony sold for 80, but you had to ship it for free cause it was over 35 dollars and shipping was 12 dollars…well you can see what’s happening to the sellers’ money–it’s all going down the drain. Who would want to sell under the yoke? Ad networks are a tricky thing, there are thousands of books written about them every year. CPA (Cost Per Action, CPC Cost Per Click) can range from part of a penny to big dollars–so depending how Etsy plays its cards to spend a nickle click and get a 20 dollar bill out of their Seller’s-Shop…well that’s a sweetiecake deal for them isn’t it? But what if you DO see an ad and WANT the thing? That’s your cue to type “Etsy.com” into the browser bar & go right there! Search the item’s name! Explore the listing to see if it’s for you! Then, by all means buy the fun item! The seller will make the money, Etsy will get a fair slice of the money too & you’ll get your item and everyone goes home happy. 100% nothing wrong with that. The solution is EASY. Type in “ETSY” and go! Spread the word before April, then spread it in April too if you like Etsy shops and artists & want to help them stay in business and in creativity. (As well as you help them keep prices lower for you too! Don’t make the artists have to raise the prices because of the new possible fees–keep it cheaper) “EASY way is type ETSY” to buy!”

Weird Questions

If I’m somewhere where there are Educational Personell (Museum Docents, Q&A zookeepers, Park Rangers, Public School Teachers, Professors etc.) I have a question I like to ask them:

“What’s the weirdest question someone’s ever asked you?”

I say weird and not Dumb becuase even buckwild questions can have important answers, but whoever I ask it too usually has to think about it for a bit, then comes out with something different every time. And I love every single answer becuase it just warms my heart out there to know people are trying to understand the world a bit better, no matter how limited thier starting point. A collection of favorites so far:

Art Museum Host: “A man once asked me “Can you help me find someone and if you can’t can you find someone who can?” Which I always thought would be a great title for an Artwork.”

Park Ranger: “I’m so glad the Japanese couple asked me “Is bear spray like mosquito spray and it goes on the jacket, or on the bear?” instead of just trying it.”

Zookeeper: “A man once pointed at the live red-tailed hawk I had out for a demo and asked me “Aren’t those extinct?” We eventually figured out he meant “Endangered” but I hear that question every time I see a redtail now.”

Primary School Teacher: “About every other year a student asks me what part of the school I sleep in at night, because clearly I live here. I tell them I sleep under the bleachers in the gym but it’s actually the Nurse’s office.”

Professor: “A student asked me “So how do I use this in a conversation when my aunt is wine-drunk at thanksgiving and being a jerk again?” Which honestly is a fair question about philosophy and really changed how I teach rhetoric.”

Natural History Docent: “A woman once asked me what the difference between a Million and a Billion was. Kinda pieced together that she’d just left her church for her safety, and was learning about Earth’s Natural History for the first time. Nobody else was there because it had been snowing, so I walked her through the Hall Of Time and answered as many questions as I could. She was bewildered, but really trying. It always struck me as a really brave thing, to try to understand all of that while fresh out of a dangerous situation. I hope it helped.”

Forensic Scientist: “People ask me how to commit murder all the time, but if you really hate someone, stealing thier identity causes much more suffering and is a lot harder to get caught at. A guy did ask me if working at a body farm was creepy and did not like that it was ok until you learned that decayed human fingers are a deer’s favorite midwinter snack.”

Zookeeper: “People call us becuase they think they’ve found an escaped animal all the time, or they think they’re neighbor’s husky is a wolf. One guy asked me if his dog was part hyena because it had spots. But that one guy really did have a Tiger in his toolshed that one time so we try to take them seriously.”

Meteorologist: “A guy once emailed me about how hard you’d have to fan a tornado to make it start spinning in the other direction and included a picture of him holding up a box fan at an approaching tornado. We printed it out for the work fridge.”

Park Ranger: “I was giving a talk on the Yellowstone Supervolcano and a guy asked if, after it errupted, the earth would be ‘hollowed out’. I suppose I was just relieved that he understand that the earth isn’t flat.”

Primarcy Shcool teacher: “A student once asked me where she could sell her bones online so she could by a dog. Which? Same.”

Natural History Docent: “A guy asked us ‘If I had a time machine, and managed to kill and cook a T-Rex, what would it have tasted like?’ and every paleontologist on staff deciced to take him seriously. They did research to learn about fat distribution, and read up on culinary science to learn what flavors meat, even did chemical analysis on the bones. They concluded that it’d be Tough (no evidence of juicy fat pockets), bitter (carnivores tend to taste foul) and would probably kill him, because heavy metals travel up the food chain and T-Rex accumulated a lot of the cadmium that was in the dirt in the late cretaceous. Wrote him a letter with our findings and he sent us back a drawing of him and his buddies cooking a T-Rex over a fire and all of them throwing up and dying, and it’s my favorite drawing in the whole world.”

Honestly in terms of sets? Very little of the Prequels were CGI. Lucas actively attempted to cultivate the idea that he used CGI for everything because he wanted to be perceived as cutting edge. Mustufar? That’s an actual miniature set. The poured jello over the top of neon lights to make the lava. Naboo? Also used miniatures; they used salt instead of water to make the water falls look right at that scale.

scottandhiskind

Okay, are we all just gonna ignore that set designers had to painstakingly cut, paint, and arrange 500,000 q-tips?!?

dadmech

The models for the clone facilities on Kamino are some of my faves from the PT, seen here being worked on by Adam Savage!

nuttyrabbit

Holy shit, that’s really cool

mockingburb

Psssst the set designer wouldn’t have assorted all those q-tips. The set designer came up with all the dimensions of how big that q-tip stadium needed to be, and made the blueprints.

The real creator would have been fabricators, set dressers, or a crying art production assistant who has been painting q-tips for two weeks straight and just really wants to go home.
