The simple things in life

There are even the most simplest things in life that make me smile. When your feeling low and you have you feel that you have done a good dead or even have the littlest face smile back at you completely washes my troubles away. It always makes me think that the troubles that i have aren't so bad. Just that little thing to make it refreshing makes it all worth wild.

ive been wanting to make a certain post for a while about the reload ryoji route and how bumming it down to just an unrequited romance route is a pretty shallow take on things and also just an untrue reading on the text. especially if you disregard the 2009 social climate towards homosexuality and protags individual feelings outside of being controlled by the player. but i can never find the right ways to word it.

What was it about THW that made Toothless a flop for you?

I've tossed all sorts of stuff around, so I feel like I'd really be repeating those posts, so I'll just sum it up for simplisity~

-Toothless is a dog in this movie. A horny dog. Not charming compared to the previous two movies.

-Toothless cares about nothing but the Light Fury. There's being in love, and there's being absent from the flock you're supposed to be guarding to go off on some date while your best friend is being left behind to fight the villain.

-Is Toothless an intelligent animal that understands humor, a hostage situation, high speed adaptation to human society, morality, and understanding humans almost on a human level or is he an instinct-driven animal and nothing more? We may never know because HTTYD preached the first half while THW was stuck on the latter unless plot device.

-Toothless gets this redundant super-power to go invisible for...reasons? Like, the Light Fury can't have anything original to her, Toothless MUST have it too because what originally made him unique is now absent and thus something has to be going for him, I guess.

-The dragons don't leave because they're safer in THW. Let's face it, the dragons leave because Toothless wants to be with the Light Fury and rule THW and since he's Berks' alpha, the Berkian dragons really have no say in it. The separation felt more like it was for Toothless, not all dragons.

-Toothless hardly even glances at Hiccup in this movie. His interactions with literally anything else not girlfriend material is actually at 0. Cloudjumper that Toothless just thought was the coolest new friend in HTTYD 2? Who's that? Who cares, new girlfriend.

Toothless getting a girlfriend isn't the issue. The issue is that apparently you can only have a best friend OR a girlfriend. Can't have both. I mean, just look at Hiccup. As soon as Astrid came onto the scene with that kiss after the romantic flight, Hiccup forgot about the rest of the gang for the rest of the movie and Toothless was forced to face Stoick alone until the very end where Hiccup suddenly learned how to be a warrior just a powerful as Astrid and saved the day. The pair then went their ways since Hiccup belongs on Berk where all humans true home is and Toothless can go somewhere else because one day the world will be ready for humans if you sit around and hope instead of educating others and fighting for it.

Yeah, lol, so basically for that last point, it was all about the fact that everything HTTYD stood for with Toothless being a major focal point is tossed to the side. I'm not against separation because it's for the best for all parties involved, but THW is NOT the movie that did that good and instead just made Toothless super unlikable and OOC to make it work. Want a good movie for that? (possible spoiler??) then watch The Wild Robot. Much better.

Introduction post, cos I've bin here a while now, but never made one.

I am 20 years old

I don't have mutch of an attachment to anny name online, so use what you feal is right.

Anny pronounce, but I do prefer it/its or they/them

Romance-repulsed aroace

As you may have guessed, I am an alterhuman (my whole blogg is kinda about it jk-)

The most accurate discription for what I am is avian-conseptkin. But I also use the labels angelkin and cryptedkin, as I feal like my identity would fall under those aswell. Sometimes for simplisity i also discribe myself as a 'feral angel'. I am an entity who has existed for thousands of years, a sort of guardian of birds as you will. I have fused whit manny forms in the past, but as of now I have fused whit this human. To be clear, I and my human form, are no longer separate things. I would not consider myself non human, but I'm also not fully human, hence why I prefer the alterhuman label, though I supose I would also fall under otherkin.

I enjoy making art, so along whit texed posts you may see some art pop up on my blog every so often.

Besides avian-conseptkin, I am also a griffinkin, though this identity is separate from that other mess I've got going on. It is simply the case that in a diverent universe, I am a griffin. That universe and this one simply overlap a ton, so the diverense between that me and this me gets blurred a lot, hence why this is a kin-type for me, not a link-type.

I've had this type as long as I can remember, a lot longer then my avian-conseptkin, which only started a few years back.

On top of that, I am also birdhearted, wich goes hand-in-hand whit being avian-conseptkin as I am unbreakably linked whit them. I will often rever to birds as 'my kin' in my posts, wich may be a bit confusing seeing as tecnicly I am not aviankin, but in this case 'kin' is used more as famalie. I have a human famalie, yes. And I love them dearly, but I also see all birds as my famalie.

Wow that was a lot of texed huh? Well, thank you for reading. If annyone has anny questions, related to this post or annything els, my asks are always open.

(They are also open for if you have a specific bird species you would like me to draw, be it your kintype or just some bird you think is cool)

[aestheticallyoverload]

📸 VSCO – in this case it's a family of aesthetics named in reference to a photography app called VSCO, earlier known as VSCO Cam, created by Joel Flory and Greg Lutze in 2011. This app gained its popularity thanks to its in-app suite of features that allow users to edit with preset filters and tools. Since its rise in popularity, the VSCO aesthetics also started to appear in other platforms.

🧋 VSCO Girl...

Term originating in 2019s summer. This subculture didn't originate from the VSCO app, but these two are still related in some aspects. VSCO girls often use phrases "and I oop" and/or "sksksksk". They're often compared to E-Girl but in terms of aesthetics these two subcultures aren't the same. The fashion is described as preppy but laid-back. VSCO Girls are also associated with Hydroflasks (a type of reusable watter bottle), Polaroid cameras, TikTok and the "save the turtles" movement. Their style consists of scrunchies, Fjällräven Kånken backpacks, oversized shirts, Nike shorts and the often judged combination of sandals and socks. Favourite shoes of these girls are Vans, Crocs and Birks. These girls seem to be stereotyped, because of people imitating them on the TikTok app. VSCO girls also own shell necklaces and will sometimes wear a tube top and jeans shorts along with some friendship jewelery. You can easily find VSCO girls at Starbucks. Their hairstyles are mostly known to be a messy bun. VSCO girls's values are positivity, creating a positive online environment and being eco-friendly.

...and 🤳 Boy

VSCO Boys are male counterpart to VSCO girls and and ideal VSCO boyfriends. They often likes to riding a skateboard, wearing Vans snakers and having a Hydroflask with a bass pro hat and long hair. Good example of a VSCO boy is Boaz Omunga.

Did you know about 🥤Dark VSCO?

This is an aesthetic similar to VSCO Girl but more mature and with darker themes. The colours are more muted, usually in this style light or dark grey, black and white are used. The patterns are more minimalist and simplistic compared to the bright colors used by VSCO Girls. In this style VSCO components such as scrunchies, Converse sneakers and Hydroflasks are still used, even though this style is darker. Fashion in Dark VSCO is simplisic. Stripes and plaid patterns in more dark or pastel neutral tones are used too. Makeup is simple and fresh, no makeup is also a choice that fits this aesthetic. Common hairstyles include messy buns and loose hair, but braids and ponytails are also an option.

❄️Winter VSCO are also a thing.

This aesthetic is also known under names Winter VSCO girl, Winter bae and Trendy winter. This style is similar to a regular one but with some wintery aspects such as fuzzy socks, warm Starbucks drinks, sweaters, comfy shorts and a warm yet trendy feel. Winter VSCO usually consists of blue, grey and white as an accent colors. Makeup is light blue and white, very natural, not often seen wearing dark eye shadows or lipsticks. Good option are also clear lip glosses and mascaras. No makeup is fitting choice but it's not that popular in this aesthetic. Hairstyles are usually casual. Common hairstyles include straight hair, messy buns, space buns ponytail, twin tails (down) and braided hair.

Not to forget about 🍂 Autumn VSCO.

This style is also recognized under names Fall VSCO, Autumn VSCO Girl, Autumn Bitch and Pumpkin Spice Latte. Autumn VSCO aesthetic is simply a combination of VSCO and Autumn styles. Fall VSCO fashion consists of warm colors, jeans, light sweaters, cozy socks, cardigans and other similar clothing. Hair for this style is curled or wavy, often down. If you want to follow this aesthetic but your hair are up, then do a messy bun, a half up half down or something along these lines. Makeup for Autumn VSCO Girls is light. The most common lipstics are red or nude along with mascara and warm eye shadow.

This aesthetic family also has its 👗 VSCO Preppy.

This style is focused on bright colors, like pink and blue, and animal patterns, usually cheetah, giraffe & leopard. A lot of people confuse this style with Softies, even though these two aesthetics aren't the same. VSCO Preppy is popular among Gen Z and teenag girls on TikTok, Instagram and Pinterest. You can describe VSCO Preppy as trendy, cheerful and luxurious.

I bet you never heard about 🖼️ VSCO Perchta...

...at least about name, because VSCO Perchta are just photos with mood or atmosphere enhanced by using VSCO filters. VSCO have a lot of filters and adjustement options (unfortunately currently most of them, even most of the basic ones, are paid :<) that assist in achieving various aesthetics. By experimenting with different adjustement options and filters you can tailor your vision to match desired photo outcome.

----------------------------------------------------

[I would like to take a moment to thank creators of these two Pinterest boards a lot:

Because without these two boards making collages about VSCO Boys and VSCO Preppy would be reeeally hard for me.]

Sorry for the late replay. By the time you'd answered I was already in bed.

‘How many blanket burritos do you want to give Kafka’ as you'd put is pretty much one of the few nice things I'll be able to give Kafka before all hell breaks loose.

While I'm still working things out, No 9 is not gonna be happy when he finds out about Kafka's heritage. There be a small and very rare moment as the mushroom kaiju sits in stunned and stupidfide silent as his brain tries to understand what he has found out. Long enough that 11 through 15 has enough time to hide before 9's brain finally reboots itself and he reacts.

Lets just say it was not pretty, for simplisities sake.

I'll also say that one of the few good things Kafka has inherit from good old grand Proto (temp name until I find something that works), and the mosquito kaiju has done its best to enchant as much as possible, is the resistance to 9's control. He ain't immune, but it takes a physical link for 9 to be able to even try to mind control Kafka. Much less succeed.

Spoilers for the manga!

No.9 already proven himself to be an awful parent so I don't blame 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 for hiding from him. Hell I totally agree with people about 15 going rogue as she would never get actual love outta him. Good way to beat Isao in the bad parent's category.

I honestly just call them Tiny as it's a certified Kafkaesque nickname before finding out the truth. Like he can't exactly keep using kaiju to describe them and they are super small. 'Dragon' was also a possible nickname from their body stance in episode 1 reminding me of the Eastern variant.

Sooo in FW Jennika looks up turtles facts after finding out the turtles are her brothers. What cool turtle facts actually apply to the boys like....

Can donnie breath underwater like nonmutant spiny softshells? Or is it something else that can be applied? How do their spider and turtle traits clash? (How stressed is poor leo when it cones to their medical notes becayse they are a. Hodge pog of human pider yokai and turtle and that has to have conflicing health things)

Ok, before I answer your questions proper, i'm going to explain a bit about the boys weird genetics, and why they're not as weird as they could be lol.

Basically, summed up to, they just don't have a lot of spider genetics compared to the human and turtle they got. And here's why!

Yokais, for my things at least, are mostly very old or descendants of Mutants from when the Krang came to earth originally.

Big Mama, specifically, comes from several generations of human-spider mutants. So! When Mama has kids with a plain old human, they end up with kids that are about 75% human, and 25% spider (assuming that mama's human-to-spider ratio was 50/50 for simplisity's sake.)

so then these little 75/25 hybrids get mutated, turtle taking over half of what is already there. This doesn't exactly leave a lot of Spider genetics, and what they do have, get suppressed (until being around Mama for that time mystically unsuppressed it that is.)

(not to mention, i imagine the mutagen has a stabalizing affect on the genetics to insure they aren't a medical wreck from two genetics being smashed together)

ANYWAYS! That being said!

(Sorry for answering these backwards but here we are lol)

Yeah, Leo and Donnie both were pretty stressed when putting together everyone's medical files. Like there is no information about what is normal for them so they kinda just have to guess, and both of them hate that. (Donnie help b/c research is fun and Leo wouldn't actually keep the files neat and readable if he didn't lol.)

Because of the whole 'stabilizing' thing and how little spider dna they have left, their turtle and spider genetics don't clash as much as one would think. I think the biggest change (other than the obvious ones) are that their diets shift a bit. Mikey has to eat more protein than he was b/c of the webs. Leo and Donnie have to eat more in general b/c of the massive 4 arms growth spurt they're in the process of. Raph needs to eat more too, but only when he's been in human form a lot. being in human form takes extra energy and thus needs more food to fuel it.

As for cool Turtle facts Jenny found, hell yeah one of them is that Donnie can breath underwater. And he definitely can. He doesn't particularly care to b/c switching back and forth ends with a lot of choking on water/air during said shift, but it's still a thing he can do.

She also found out that tomatoes are toxic to turtles, which kind of causes her to panic the first time she sees them eat a pizza lol. (her brothers didn't inherit that particular trait lol. though they are allergic to Avocados/avocado pits as a result of the mutation.)

That's all i can think of right now.

Thank you!

Difficult Love Gumi Megpoid - Vocaloid 2019

Second cosplay of 2019 was Gumi! From 2019 till 2021 I have quite a lot of costests that although simplisic I really like so I do want to share them but I'll try to balance them out between photoshoot photo's :p

AITA for trying to steal something from a ancient tower

i (60ish? i stopped counting idk M ghost) have a rival (late 60s F), i am a pirate and she is apart of the navy (not gonna type in pirate talk for the sake of simplisity)

one day i was with my crewmates, mostly crabs but i also had a kid on the board (10? NBY), they were quiet and were new to being a pirate, all was well and good untill she came in with her own new small sailor (also 10 NBY), they took my crewmate while i took my escape and mentioned a specific tower nearby (wont mention for doxxing reasons but its well known so it wouldnt be hard to guess which tower this is) and how it had treasure

i, like any good pirate, got my ship to the tower, my rival was already there, and let me tell you this tower looked amazing, it was made out of ice and had over 100 floors! there were alot of pearl statues (not sure how to describe them, apparently they told a story but nothing was written on them), i finally got to the top and i was shocked to find no treasure, only a lake that was glowing, in the end my rival, the small sailor and my crewmate went to get me

other shinanigans happened with the kids, my crewmate turned out to be half shark they just couldnt speak while on the land and they went underwater using the help of a werid waterdroplet thing with a pearl

in the end, the sea goddest who was rumored to guard this tower came out of the hole w the two kids (something about pureifying her heart i dont remember) and i scrambled back with my crewmate back to my ship and we continued our game of cat and mouse

im just very dissapointed i couldnt find treasure (hence the try in the tower) :// AITA

Don't come at me for contradicting and presuming that I know better than Vito Russo but I begrudge that any time Lawrence is brought up in a LGBT film history context it's with these same simplisic talking-points which seem the result of working backwards from a conclusion. I'm not impressed with the astuteness and historicity of analysis that uses the Hays code and the American dream as vantage points to analyze a film that's so iconically and intristically British (& yes I know it was distributed by Columbia). Using Wilson's thoughts about the Deraa scene and what it represents to support an authorial conclusion when it seems this is one of the many things Wilson and Bolt disagreed on makes for a pretty thin foundation for an argument.

[miblue]

I'm just gonna speak my thaughts into the void.

I got two ideas in mind. One more light hearted, and one with a more dark humor vibe.

1:Superpower family, living their life on the DL in a small neighborhood. Born with powers, and it's very much x-men like world, main couple is either retired heros, or just live their life and never went into the hero buisness cause that's alot of shit. Someone has alot of trauma and just wants simplisity.

-inspiration wandavision-

2: supernatural couple, mostly one is a vampire or something that had a particular diet, the other is kinda a serial killer. They living in suburbia cause that's what wiffy wants and got lowkey stuck there and trying not to be found out about that, and not murder the whole street and be rated out

-inspiration. Chucky/Tiffany. Mostly tiff with how she talks about just wanting to settle down in "bride of chucky". Just two awful people, trying to pretend their not awful, and not impulsively murder their new neighbors-

It's very much the case of. Same idea or premise, but two very different tones.
