I finished my first proper Arknights fic! Blaze x one of my Doctor OCs, T4T girls unite!!! Smut warning, this is gay and explicit as fuck LOL
Wouldn't have been able to do this without the amazing help of @annierosaart and @lanymme, and the fic also contains the amazing art of @caffichai. I love and appreciate you all so much!!
The thing about the whole AD vs CE vs whether it's all just cosmetic discourse is that it totally ignores where this numbering system comes from. We should just call it what it is: Bede notation.
It was invented by one person for a specific purpose - to have a universalizable way of establishing historical dates, rather than having to deal with dynastically based date systems. And it was a really good idea. This is not surprising, since Bede is basically the father of Historiography. He also is the guy who gave us the notion of Primary Sources. Bede is amazing.
When a guy revolutionizes the entire way calendaring is done, he has the right to set his zero point wherever he pleases.
People have pointed out that one problem with CE notation is that it presents itself as neutral when it is exactly the same system as AD. What exactly is "common" about this era? The zero point doesn't become neutral just by effacing its source.
(Also BCE is nonsense. Just use negative numbers)
It makes sense for scholarly tradition to not want to be tied to a specific religion. But scholarly tradition is very enthusiastic about being tied to earlier scholarly tradition. The convention of AD was established by a scholar for a scholarly purpose. We know his name. We know what he was doing, and why, and how. And he was doing it better than anybody else. That is worth honoring.
Rather than pretending that it's a neutral system, acknowledge that it's not. It's not some naturally occurring "common era," it's the system developed by Bede, centered around dates that were important to him personally (but which he intended to be universally applicable).
Like we should be honest about the facts that (a) an awful lot of people have been measuring dates this way for nearly 1400 years and changing it in a non-cosmetic way would involve a lot of seriously obnoxious bookkeeping, and (b) the zero is where it is because that's where the guy who invented the system decided to put it. "Anno Domini" is meaningless to people who aren't into that particular Dominus, and "Common Era" is meaningless period (and imparts a false appearance of neutrality). Pinning it to its creator, though, is already scholarly convention and is objective. It may or may not be the year of Our Lord, and it certainly isn't Common (whatever that means) but it is unarguably the schema developed by Bede, for better or for worse. So unless we're actually going to rebuild it from scratch, we may as well call it that. And even if we do rebuild it from scratch, we should still call it that. Because that is what it is.
Reblogging in honor of the feast of St. Bede today.
I have been informed that Bede notation may in fact have been first devised by Dionysus the Humble of Scythia to calculate the date of Easter more accurately. But my broader point stands.
Bede, yo.

Fun fact. Nothing can stop you from finding the oldest art your friend has ever made on their blog and reblogging it.

Happy Pride!!! Do you like this shirt? Seen it around a few times?
Me too! And you can get it from its original creator by following this link! Faer work is all awesome, and there are so many stolen versions of faer design. We should all support the original artist!
Happy Pride Month y'all
Happy pride month.
A couple of years ago I was tidying a rarely-tidied storage space, and found this painting that I bought long pre-transition (and then hid away, and eventually forgot about), because I had been captivated by the beauty of it, and wished dearly that it could be me, and settled for "in another life", and now, it's basically me (if I put my hair up):
...even down to the small boobs and big hands and that dress, and this is what I thought I could never be
awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
Patagonia is posting notes app social media half-added apologies over their lawsuit 😭😭😭
i mean. i’ll always side with the human over the company anyway. but these are markedly different
guys, she can keep performing, she just has to cow to the brand and give up her identity and redesign all her shit despite the fact that they’re both named after a geographical region! the brand simply MUST have first dibs and then the human can live her little life or whatever!! why are you guys so excited to suck corporate boot? am i going fucking crazy? again?
As summer is approaching, I’d like to remind everyone that you are not entitled to ask someone to cover up their scars, self inflicted or not. I don’t care if they’re big, I don’t care if they’re noticeable, or purple, or all over their body, or what. You can’t police people’s bodies.
This also goes for my friends with feeding tubes, ostomy bags, central lines and urinary catheters. People are allowed exist in bodies that stray from the expected norm.
RACHEL RANKS: THE TOP 20 HOTTEST MURCIELAGO CHARACTERS
#3: Isuzu Kujihara
To say that manga has a hard time depicting fat women would be the understatement of the century. Fat women are ALWAYS ridiculed, drawn with ridiculous proportions, villainized, shown constantly eating, used as a punchline for a cruel joke, etc. etc. etc. So imagine my surprise when Murcielago delivered what might be the most positive representation of a fat female character I've read in years, if not ever. Isuzu is gorgeous, never mocked, never insulted in any way, isn't drawn constantly eating; in fact, she doesn't stumble over even a single stereotype. She's one of the many reasons why Murcielago is my favorite yuri series, and she is GORGEOUS. I would KILL for her to show up more frequently. Most underrated Murcielago girl by far.
