i lowk never post but im making an intro anyways š«¶š«¶ā¼ļøā¼ļø
HI!! my name is julia but you can call me literally whatever idc (she/her i suppose)
iām a minor !!
as i said i donāt post very much (i reblog all the time tho)(i simply donāt have enough ideas/motivation to make my own stuffš) but when i do itās almost always art cause im too scared to tell you my thoughts . so you get doodles instead
Awww so cute, look at these three friends, I hope nothing bad happens!!
It took me a whole week to finish this š
The spaceships are in love (size to scale)
Letās lighting practice with Simon :D
The one well-aged bit i don't think i can ever stop doing is "character name series surname".
dude. what did you do. everyone is here.
there's no fucking way
they were kinda piggy and Ralph a little bit
school trip to the museum
Mr Golding do you like femboys
I have more of a thing for furries.
Thank you @babyhawkzz and everyone who got me to 1000 reblogs!
bill and that damn dress
some of the music i listen to is straight up bad
I love Andy Weir's books but this man is dumb as a bucket of rocks. Dude you have your characters turn to the reader and explain what the social commentary of the book was. You know it's there because you include the sparknotes in the story itself. What the fuck are you talking about.
This is the real actual ending of The Martian.
This is in the last chapter of Artemis.
This man does not know what the words "politics" or "social commentary" mean.
Dude is extremely good at exactly one thing and that is extremely well researched near future hard scifi and is somewhere between mediocre and dogshit at basically everything else
#Derin understood this??? Derin the Scarlet Johnson?????
The fuck is that supposed to mean
does this man believe in anything he writes??? this is why I'm struggling with PHM, I just don't know if I can read a book that has such deep meaning when I know the author doesn't actually believe in anything he put into it.
I think he believes it very deeply, he just doesn't realise that it counts as Political. A lot of these guys think (probably subconsciously) that their stances are just the way the world is and anything that they don't think about much is the Political stuff. It's the "white people have no culture" of political stances.
#dude doesn't get that 'political' doesn't mean 'about politicians'
Double funny because a great many of his characters are in fact politicians and critical parts of the plots directly depend on the politics that the politicians do in on-page political scenes. Even the scientists usually have a guy in charge who might be a scientist (not always) but their chief job is to think about the politics and how to sell this to the politicians once the science meeting is over and they are very vocal about this in said meetings.
Honestly one of the most fascinating parts of project hail mary to me was how he constructed a world in crisis as needing a single powerful leader and martyr who could cut through all the red tape and had every resource at her beck and call, because that's the only way to save the world. And that's, like, not really a part of the story. It's there, it's big and looming and impactful and meaningful, but it doesn't ever feel like that's intentional. Dude introduces Female Lelouche Code Geass and seems utterly uninterested in any of the metatextual implications of that.

Sure, here ya go:
Lord George Gordon Byron was an English poet in the early 1800s.
He wrote several narrative poems that influenced the gothic genre and was a HUGE fucking slut. HUGE. This bisexual mess slept with so many fucking people it was insane, no gender was safe. Unfortunately that āno one was safeā mentality did not work out well for him bc there were a LOT of rumors that he impregnated his half-sister.
His only child from a legitimate marriage was from his wife, Lady Anne Isabella Noel Byron, who straight-up left him after a year. You know how divorce was uncommon in the 1800s? His wife was just so fed up with him that she did not care and left when her daughter was five weeks old.
This daughter was named Ada and would become known as Ada Lovelace.
Byron signed the separation papers and then left the country to have sex elsewhere and would later die when Ada was eight.
During that time if a couple divorced, usually the Dad would get full custody, so just in case he tried anything Lady Byron made sure to play the devoted and overattentive mother.
Lady Byron was absolutely paranoid that her daughter would become an insane gothic mess like her dad so she decided the only thing to do would be to make sure she did not become a Poetā¢. So she heavily encouraged Adaās interests in science and mathematics.
Around the 1830-40s, Ada met Charles Babbage through a mutual friend and he showed her his prototype for a mechanical calculator. She got absolutely obsessed with this machine and began helping him out with it to the point where her notes on it became more extensive than his.
She also added notes to a translation of a paper on this engine that is considered to be the first published algorithm.
These notes on the engine and translation became the basis for computer programming.
Sheās considered The First Computer Programmerā¢
So, because Lord Byron was a little slut and his wife wanted their daughter to Not Be, we now have to deal with tumblr discourse. Thank you and goodnight.
Vampire fiction and science fiction as we know it today also exist as a direct result of his friends being stuck in a cabin with him during a storm so thereās that as well. Hot vampires and sci-fi nerds are also his fault.
She was one of the people stuck in the cabin (well I think it was more of a 19th century Airbnb that the group of friends rented for a holiday that was then ruined by the weather) with him. Since they couldnāt do any outdoor activities they decided to write spooky stories and read them together instead. She wrote Frankenstein, kicking off the science fiction genre, and Dr John Polidori wroteā¦ Iāve forgotten the title and it might just be āThe Vampireā or āVampyreā or something like that but anyway he did that. Dracula is much more influential now but that was the first big vampire novel. Byron didnāt create either genre but arguably motivated their creation by being an annoying horndog so they wanted to stay in their rooms writing instead of hang out with him.
Itās also worth mentioning that the summer they were stuck in that cabin is referred to as the Year Without Summer and was directly caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia the year before. It is also blamed for failed crops and mass famine on almost every continent, and the explosion could be heard something like 1600 miles away. The eruption of Tambora and the subsequent lack of summer worldwide is estimated to have killed anywhere from 100,000 to many millions of people. If all the deaths from diseases such as cholera and typhoid that found perfect conditions to spread rapidly during the famines are included, the total death toll could be estimated around 40 million people worldwide, which would put it on par with world war one.
TL;DR: Byron being a goth slut led directly to his daughter inventing computer programming, and being stuck in a cabin with him during crazy weather patterns caused by the largest volcanic eruption in modern history on the other side of the globe directly led to the invention of the genres of science fiction and gothic horror
Tumblr dragging Lord Byron is similar to its dragging of Ea Nasir, but more verbose and maundering and blunt and intense, which also describes Lord Byron.
This copper is sub-standard because Byron stuck his dick in it.
