Hihihi! Back with more head canons for everyone to snack on.

Brad is really into biology, more specifically botany (he'd never admit that openly though lol).

Each person has their own core negative trait along with 3 other minor negative traits, for example; Player's main negative trait is Hatred, while the other ones (Greed, Solitude, Fear) are the more minor ones.

Adding onto that, one's negative traits doesn't have to be limited to Hatred, Greed, Solitude, and Fear. It can also include other negative traits (Envy, Vanity, Apathy, etc.), those four are just the most common.

People also have one core positive trait (Empathy, Patience, Honour, etc.), and can have more or less than 4 minor positive traits. The minor positive traits can change as the person goes through life, however the core positive trait will always remain the same.

Kyoko's pretty built (BUFF KYOKO SUPREMACY!!!).

Accountant Jim and Betsy cook together sometimes.

Desna and Eska are close childhood friends.

Kitchen Wizard lost some of their memory upon his death (if they did, he would definitely not be so calm around Terry).

i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as a binary i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as a sliding scale of "less" to "more" i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as the only two options i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as significantly different things i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as all encompassing i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as the two halves of a shallow concept of love that doesn't actually encompass anything at all i think we need to overhaul every popular conception about "types" of love so we can talk about things that are real and true for once

Photos of a bronze armillary sphere with three layers of rotating rings on an equatorial set up. The sphere is supported by three legs in a row, all decorated with detailed ornamentation and dragon figures. The text on the granite base is in Slovene and Mandarin Chinese (translation and originals under read more↓).

The astronomical instrument (an equatorial armillary sphere) that was unveiled on 6 February 2024 in front of the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia in Ljubljana – facing the location of the old Jesuit college, where its conceptor first received his education – is a full-scale replica of the original, finished in 1754, still in place at the Beijing Ancient Observatory in China.

Ferdinand Avguštin Haller von Hallerstein, known also by his Chinese name Liú Sōnglíng (劉松齡; simplified: 刘松龄) was born in 1703, received Jesuit education in Ljubljana, Vienna and Graz and arrived in Beijing in 1739 as a missionary, set to work at the Imperial Astronomical Bureau (which had been run by the Jesuits since 1669). In 1746 he succeeded the office of the head of the bureau and ran it until his death in 1774 – longer than any of his predecessors. He died soon after a stroke he reportedly suffered upon hearing the news that the Pope had disbanded the Jesuit order (in 1773; that suppression was later lifted in 1814).

Beside the astronomical work (published as Observationes astronomicæ), he also worked as a cartographer (creating a map of Macao and its environs, of Manchuria and contributing to the Jesuit Atlas of China) and is noted for making the first exact estimate of the Chinese population (calculated to have been 196,837,977 in 1760 and 198,214,624 in 1761).

The armillary sphere is one of a kind, combining Chinese and European astronomical knowledge as requested by the Qiánlóng Emperor (乾隆帝), who wanted to both honor the tradition of his ancestors and make the instrument as accurate as possible by the standards of the time. The instrument is 3.7 m long, 2.1 m wide and 3.3 m high. It is made of bronze and weighs more than 5 tons. Its replica is made of the same material and is of the same size, built in China using 3D-scanning technology and later transported to Slovenia, and is also fully functional. The design of the original instrument started in 1744 and when it was finished 10 years later, it was considered the pinnacle of Chinese astronomical science as well as artistic craftsmanship.

The Astronomical Instrument was conceived by Augustin Ferdinand Hallerstein (*1703 Ljubljana, †1774 Beijing), a Slovene Jesuit, astronomer, mathematician, cartographer and diplomat, during the time he lived in Qing China. The original stands at the Beijing Ancient Obsevatory. The replica of the instrument is a gift of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China as an incentive for the continuation of cultural exchange between Slovenia and China.

basically i was trying to make a post talking about the theme of family and the humans in steven universe and how basically all the humans are parents and their children and like, never one or the other, and how we can literally talk about the relationships all the kids have with their parents and stuff

and it was supposed to be how that reflects on stevens life and his human half since gems dont have families and blah blah blah

but holy shit i dont know how to say all that in a smart way and i kept going in circles and triangles and squares

[valkyurii]

it’s actually amazing how many people hear miquella say “my loyal blade” and think he means radahn. in what world was radahn ever his loyal blade? i feel like even if he had said “my dear sister” ppl would have still been like “oh he means ranni, right?”

I completely understand the massive staffing, social, and structural issues that are faced by pharmacists and pharmacy techs, and I know there are plenty of reasons going to the pharmacy is unpleasant that are in no way the fault of the staff. But the experience of going to pick of medication is actually so unbalanced and absurd. You stand at the counter waiting to be acknowledged while they ignore you and avoid eye contact like you're a Gorgon. If you draw their attention they act like you just interrupted them performing open heart surgery even though you've been there a solid 5 minutes in silence alone with a line starting behind you. Then it becomes psychological warfare as you try to give them the information to get your scripts but you're never fast enough and they always seem to be waiting on you in a huff even if you blurt it all out like "LASTNAMEFIRSTNAMESPELLEDN-A-M-EDATEOFBIRTH" in one breath. Then they go to get your medication and it's $500 a pop and you have to bow and thank them for the privilege. And then the next time you come back the song and dance starts all over again. Every single pharmacy I've ever been to has been like this, small or big

noah's favorite band is neck deep, not because he grew up listening to them (my fault), but because i've told him how so many of their songs make me think of his dad. and i think that's why all distortions are intentional would be his favorite album. listens to it the first time and pieces together things i've told him; things he's overheard saturday tell alina about us; things he's seen and noticed his whole life — and suddenly the album is less about two made up characters finding solace in each other and more about his parents finding solace in each other.
