#at least compared to these

Reading up on invasive plants continue to be a mistake because now that the garlic mustard's died back I am instead seeing dog-strangling vine everywhere. Admittedly Vincetoxicum rossicum and Vincetoxicum nigrum are pretty metal names but they really are out there blanketing the edge of every disturbed field and choking out the rest of the plant life...
#plant talk#t#i was interested in them for fibre reasons so at least i won't have to feel bad for harvesting them#this is a big reason why I'm trying to familiarize myself with invasive plants tbh#it's easy to confuse them with native milkweed at first but they're starting to flower now and the flowers are very distinct#i actually spent like 3 hours last night comparing their flowers to flowers of other milkweeds/dogbanes#because i was like there's SO many of them 😰#but... i guess that's what invasive plants do...#another way to tell them apart from native milkweeds is that the milkweeds are all being munched on by caterpillars#(not monarch caterpillars. these ones were black)#(there are other leptidora that are obligate herbivores on milkweed but i don't know what they are)#soooo. yikes.#these vines don't strangle dogs btw. no one knows why they're called that#i was gonna see if i could get anything workable out of garlic mustard but i waited too long#but Canada did release those weevils that only feed on garlic mustard so i don't think they're as big of an issue anymore#at least compared to these#which afaik don't really have any biological controls#if i harvest them I'll probably have to harvest in the evening right before the sun sets because i saw them growing among something that#looks suspiciously like ragweed. which is fine aside from the allergies. but ragweed also looks like wild carrot and wild parsnip#which are ABSOLUTELY NOT FINE and they will burn you like acid if you touch their sap and then go into the sun#no thank you !!#there's a few common plants that look like wild parsnip#but uhhhhhhh I'm not touching that lol#also found some wild grapes growing with them though! yum 😋#i don't care much for the grapes but the young shoots are sooooo good if you cook them up. they taste lemony

It's always funny to me that Jason, Tim, and Damian all have personal beef with Ra's al Ghul and meanwhile, Dick is kinda just like

#dc#dc comics#batman#batfamily#batfam#dick grayson#nightwing#jason todd#red hood#tim drake#red robin#damian wayne#robin#ra's al ghul#okay but also correct me if I'm wrong#but like ra's seems to be at least somewhat involved/obsessed with all of them (even bruce)#except dick he just really doesn't give two shits about (at least compared to the others)#like sure he probably views him as an opponent or hostile or whatever#but there's no real personal connection like there is with the rest of the fam#but again if I'm totally missing something tell me I'm an idiot

more wips
#wip#fabrication#rug hooking#fiber art#artists on tumblr#yarn's pretty uniform at least so far compared to bg#or like not a combo of a bunch of different yarns#plus I think it's sock weight? dk? so how the overall texture/actual loops look together is interesting#I guess for comparison the white yarn is bulky#like from a farther view they kinda blend together#also might take me longer than the other two since the yarn is thinner hshjfg

The leftism/anticapitalism leaving people's bodies the zeptosecond you imply that disabled people who aren't "productive" still matter in society and need to be treated like intrinsic equals who have a place in this world:
#disability#disability advocacy#described images#image description in alt#ableism#ableism tw#my full-time job is my disability and you're lucky that i am still 'productive' as-is#your boss doesn't care that you think you're superior for being hired by them. they're still going to treat you like profit machines#it astounds me how people will capitulate for oppression because they place their intrinsic value in their ability to be at the top...#...or at least 'at the top' compared to others. it's the same impulse that makes people think their cisgender status makes them superior...#...you are placing your worth into systems which not only oppress others but offer you no true sense of worth...#...ESPECIALLY if you're also being exploited (even if just a bit)...#...you have a job sure but... do you actually get treated like a human being? are you actually paid? are you actually safe?...#...if the answer to any of those questions and more is 'no' then why do you place your value in capitalistic production. genuinely.#and why would you DEMAND disabled people to have the same exploitation you experience. why do you DEMAND productivity if you are proletaria#yes being a leftist and anticapitalist are linked but. some people still internalize capitalism without questioning it#being a leftist is about challenging that rather than assuming you're correct i think#also scientists were very silly when describing time that's like. less than a millisecond i think

Honestly, yeah, Australia wildlife is probably more dangerous than a lot of places, but living here you don’t really notice because from the time when you’re young you’re brought up to have good ‘safari etiquette’. Don’t shove your hands under rocks where you can’t see, never touch or go within a couple of meters of wild animals, always wear proper thick shoes when out walking, always assume that an injury from an animal you don’t know is something to keep a close eye on.
And a lot of it’s just common sense that you should be doing already. Stay on the bush tracks, don’t leave small children outside unattended, don’t go into water that isn’t part of a public area.
You’re not going to get a sting from a cone snail unless you break the sacred ‘take only photos, leave only footprints’ rule and honestly if you do end up carking it, well, I’m not gonna say you deserved it but I am gonna give you some major side-eye because you’re kinda the one that started it by being disrespectful of Country in the first place.
Which makes it even weirder when some yank comes up to you, talking about how “I could never live where you are, it’s soooo dangerous!!”, and then you see them on the news a day later mauled to death because they got drunk and picked a fistfight with a bear.
#straya#Don’t worry we do also have right idiots who pick fistfights with crocs#But they typically aren’t boasting about how safe their country is compared to the rest of the world whilst doing it#(Using the aboriginal way of writing Country here because well.)#(it is very much their home first and foremost)#(which there is also the additional layer of the fact that we are fucking GUESTS here and you are meant to have)#(at least an iota of respect when allowed to stay at someone else’s house)

[From the downfall duo soulswap AU]
I'm changing it because I don't like how bodyswap sounds




Don't tell your prophetic visions bro you had a weird dream
#linked universe#lu fanart#lu sky#lu legend#lu hyrule#I meant for the style of this to be more simple than the other stuff but I fell into the bigger canvas + unfamiliar brush trap#I tried writing the dialogue myself again but it's probably not the best option xD my hand didn't appreciate it and it doesn't look good#anyways I think it's kinda funny how differently I draw them considering (at least according to my hcs) they're like 1 year apart in age#is sky easy to draw or do I just have artist blindness? probably the latter#I'm ngl I almost didn't want to draw this one bc I feel it's overdone but I hope the context of the au makes it interesting enough ^___^#I think the shot with the eyes is so funny compared to the rest of the panels. TOO SERIOUS vibes#the poses were so hard in this. never again. camera is kinda wonky#like 100 different styles in this bc my brain was SO resistant and I took the whole week

if i see someone else whining about how the fight with chimera was too short, anticlimactic and generally pathetic, i will punch a wall.
i present you the lightning thief, chapter 13 'i plunge to my death', the chimera "fight":
i highlighted the parts when percy does anything, but when you take a closer look, it's mostly dodging, and most definitely not actually fighting. because that's just what this particular fragment looks: percy is scared, he doesn't know how to act, barely does anything and then takes the leap. that's it. short and amateurish.
and when you carefully read through percy's fights in tlt, you'll see he either gets lucky or, more or less consciously, uses water. when he fought with luke during training, he suddenly won after he splashed his head with water - before that, he wasn't much better than anyone else. the same with clarisse, he starts getting advantage when he accidentally enters the stream.
which makes sense.
percy is literally 12 years old. twelve. in the book, he has 2 weeks of training before the quest begins. in the show? probably like 2 days. yes, he becomes a good and a smart swordsman, but people seem to forget that it took him time to master his skills, as it would for anyone.
#yo folks if you want to nitpick and compare the show to the book at least do it well#and reread it because you probably remember much less than you think you do#percy jackson#pjotv#pjo tv show#pjo tv adaptation#percy jackson disney+#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson spoilers#pjotv spoilers

He considered.#he seriously considered it. The only thing stopping him is akechi#literally comparing rank 10 and non rank 10 akechi choices for lavenza after third sem joker has regret options#like his regret is literally leaving akechi to his fate of assumed death#OK#IT WORKS IN SPIRIT.#and the twewy one is just. the interview that said Neku fully expected Shibuya to be gone#and that’s why he says what the hell#actually rip neku because he had to choose in ten seconds#at least joker had like. 3 dialogue options.#LOL#p5r#persona 5 protagonist#twewy#sakuraba neku#ngl neku might be more insane because Joshua is Joshua#persona 5#yeah this is shuake.

For your gay little dogs
.
#principal skinner pride flag for my gay little dogs#you see this is why my dog people need to see the same spectrum of colors we do#I feel like their literal world view would be drastically altered if they couldn't distinquish between orange and green#I'd argue that red is a significant color in practically every culture#it's instinctual associations with danger food and fertility make it attention grabbing on a visceral monkey brain level#I strongly suspect the impact would be at least somewhat negated if it was a muted brownish khaki instead#meaning it wouldn't be used in visual communication nearly as much#I would have to center my art and worldbuilding more around yellow and blue because those would be the colors the dogs would see clearly#right? is that sound logic?#and that would just make me immensely sad because warm colors are my favorites :<#answered#m0notropa-uniflora#something that continues to boggle my mind is that there are animals that see more colors than humans#we like to assume that our color vision is the best we can see it ALL look at that rainbow there that's the full set#yes primates are well equipped in this regard compared to many other mammals like dogs#but most birds for example have more color receptors in their eyes they have more tools to work with and their rainbow is even wider#it's like sound everyone knows we can't hear sounds that are impossibly low or too high#and we can't process wavelengths of light that are too long (infrared) or too short (ultraviolet)#only what lands between those bookends (called the visible spectrum) reads to our human eyes as “light” and subsequently “color”#I hope I've understood this correctly I'm trying to say that there's a whole layer of vision we don't have the hardware to get access to#and that's just wild to me like we are fundamentally unable to imagine a new color that isn't already included in our built-in selection#but they're definitely there the unimaginable colors are in the room with you and a common pigeon can see them#uv dlc not available for your system

You can really tell I didn’t feel like drawing backgrounds this time, I gave up quickly man, fungal’s background mushrooms just weren’t fun to draw.
Masterpost
#hollow knight#hk ghost#hk greenpath vessel#hk quirrel#art#my art#comic#apparently the secret to drawing qurriel is to not stare at a drawing of him to get it perfect#just glance every once in a while for details and remember he has absolutely massive hands compared to other characters his size#anyway now that they have the best movement ability in the game it’s time for me to deliberate on where they go next#hoping at least one person gets my little reference
