Welp.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

[meraarts]

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

The adventures of a space roomba

I'm throwing this WIP at you because I don't know how long it's going to take me to lineart and colour this (and figure out anatomy and perspective issues.)

I wonder how exhausting it is to take Luffy to the beach (though I suppose they always have someone around who can swim and fish all of them out of the water if necessary.)

[in-a-vancaster]

It’s a little late, but I made a the commander as a commander (or is he the sergeant at arms of the deck?) for the glorious 25th of May

The CMC is wrong but I can’t be arsed to fix that at 2am. It’s supposed to be 7cmc.

Anyways…

They rise heads up, heads up high!

problem i have is whenever i read write say or hear "sugar baby" my brain is like oh yeah, i know what that is! pretty sure we can reliably derive meaning for this term based on other definitions that precede it in our internal lexicon, like "sugar glider" and "bush baby". we are definitely talking about some kind of small arboreal marsupial with large eyes. it's probably not ethical for this wealthy patron to be keeping one as a pet

[greelin]

did perfectionism ever truly protect you from harm or neglect as a child though. ultimately. Lol

[greelin]

[REALLY NORMAL AND WELL-ADJUSTED VOICE] well you never know maybe it COULD have saved me. if i ever actually achieved perfection. it could have happened then. if i was actually ever enough. Which i was not

[sunderwight]

Shipping Markiplier's guy from Iron Lung with Ryan Gosling's guy from Project Hail Mary is a great example of a crossover ship that is not, per se, a crack ship.

These two never met and the stories they are from are not technically all that compatible (Grace is trying to stop the stars from going out, Simon exists in a far-future society where they already did), and yet, the themes and circumstances of the characters do create the irrefutable impression that if they ever DID meet then they would have a whole lot of feelings about it. They would not, indeed could not be normal about each other without that seeming weirder than if they had sex about it.

[sunderwight]

Evil wizard tasteful pin-up magazine but it's all photos of like, skinny old goths coyly fingering cursed amulets, long-bearded sorcerers doing the 'oopsie' pose as their corrosive destruction spell destroys enough of their own robes to show some skin, naked desiccated lich king positioning his staff of human skulls just so it leaves something to the imagination, dark knights in full armor just holding their soul-eating blades out in front of their codpieces, orc chieftain who did not understand the assignment and is posing with a monster he killed like one of those guys-with-fish photos. Or maybe he DID understand the assignment. Hmm.

[rahatlin]

@evilwizard are you in that?

[inquisitor-apologist]

See the thing about me is I’m generally a very pro-Death of the Author style guy. I’ve read the original essay, I understand the concept, I often engage with media through that kind of lens, I get it. But this fandom as a whole seems to have NO IDEA what that concept even means.

You stop being able to apply Death of the Author when you’re actually like. Centering authorial intent. You can’t make a post like “oh the Whole Intended Point of The Original Trilogy was that Luke rejected the teachings of the Old Jedi™️ and chose love over dogma” and then when someone pulls up GL interviews showing that he did not actually intend to communicate that Luke rejected Jedi teachings and was in the right for that say “well, death of the author, that’s my interpretation!”.

Like, cool buddy, if that is for some reason what you want to take away from the Original Trilogy (I can’t imagine why, given that the teachings of the Old Jedi barely exist in the OT, but you do you) that’s fine and it does fit with Death of the Author, but you brought up authorial intent. You weren’t arguing that your interpretation is valid, you were arguing that it was in fact the express intent and vision of the creator, which is a completely different thing incompatible with Death of the Author analysis.

If someone’s criticizing RotS/the Prequels from the angle that they failed to create an effective ‘inevitable tragedy’ narrative as was intended… it’s entirely fair for someone to bring up behind the scenes material and quotes demonstrating that Lucas did not in fact intend to create an ‘inevitable tragedy’ narrative in the first place! You can’t apply Death of the Author if your analysis supposes that the author is alive and intended [x]! The entire point of Death of the Author is that the author’s intention becomes irrelevant once it is released and that the meaning of a text can only be found in the interpretation of the audience!

Coco the Witch 🌱 Her dress is based on one of Shirahama's amazing illustrations, I wanted to make an Alphonse Mucha styled fanart! I'm proud of all the details even though it took very long, WHA's art is so beautiful it makes me want to draw the best I can too! I'm planning on turning this into a gold foil print for Dokomi

[teaboot]

Lmaooooo I've had this job for 6ish years now and the brand-new baby guard I JUST finished training keeps trying to "help" me

I was on the phone with police the other day describing someone and he was over here talking *over* dispatch to give me details I already knew... because I had paused.... to give dispatch time to type.... and I guess he thought I didn't know???

Like man I appreciate the spirit but I literally taught YOU how to do that, do you think I forgot??

Like I bequeathed unto you my Stone of Power and in doing so lost all arcane wisdom???

Bruh

[teaboot]

Cis dudes do this thing where they share basic ass knowledge with you like you're not the resident expert

and while I USED to think it was because I was a girl and they thought girls were stupid, I have come to understand that really, it comes from more of a benign and congnitively youthful void where "other people know things that I don't" and "sometimes things don't make sense to me because there are things I am not yet aware of"

and this can be directed towards anyone they haven't subconciously identified as a Wiser Authority

Such as a Girl

[teaboot]

And actually now that I'm thinking about it, maybe that's part of the reason that people who are benignly (for lack of a better term) biased insist so strongly that they AREN'T, that race or gender or sexuality or religion has nothing to do with their behaviors

Because if "people who might know more than me" is an unspoken category that applies only to Professors, Guardians, Role Models, and Peers- and NONE of those hypothetical persons LOOKS like "girl", in their head, they aren't treating girls like they're dumb- they're treating girls THE EXACT SAME WAY they treat EVEYONE ELSE...... who isn't more intelligent.

No wonder they're always so blind to it! They're looking for a big solid block that says "BELIEF THAT WOMEN ARE STUPID", and they're COMPLETELY MISSING the big, empty hole where "BELEIEF THAT ANY WOMAN MIGHT KNOW MORE THAN ME" should go

We don't *know* what we don't know not because something is missing or something else is in the way, but because it was never there to begin with

The Steve Irwin That Lives In My Brain: Crikey, get a look at this art teacher! These are so important to the local area, right, because they create habitat for heaps of vulnerable critters like juvenile nerds, goths, and furries. I love finding these because they often have these great ornamentations that they can use to identify one another. Take a look at the piercings and tattoos, here. Absolutely gorgeous! Let's let this one get back to sleep.
