please know, in regards to my whole AHL affiliate explanation, as I say in the tags I am a big hater and very biased as I am a person. so if you do like GMDW that's perfectly fine but I am 100% a hater and always have been:




so be thankful to one @18minutemajor for hearing me whine all the time!!! go reblog their art or simply wish them well in life because they have to deal with me constantly

Ok ok, what about red apples? 🤨 (doing fanart and need her height, in apples. Don’t ask-)
let's start by picking a specific apple because a lot of different apple types are red, we'll go with one that's native to Greece, like Firiki Piliou-

unfortunately there's no average height of these things, instead we have average circumference which is between 14 and 18 cm
so let's make life a little easier for ourselves and assume that all the apples we're using to measure Kore have a circumference of 16cm
this gives us a radius of ~2.5cm, a diameter of ~5.10 cm, and a volume of ~69.15cm (nice)
unfortunately (but unsurprisingly) i'm terrible at actually doing math and don't remember jack shit about determining height of an object from circumference, sooo next step is to go on youtube and find an ELI5 explanation of how to do that-
youtube
aaand of course, all my high school trauma is coming back to me now, we gotta do some flip floppy shit with the equation, bet-
Kore is roughly 5"5, or 168 cm. Comparing that to the absurdly teeny height of the Firiki Piliou, we get our FINAL TOTAL-
DAMN THAT'S A LOT OF APPLES
I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE PICKED BIGGER APPLES, THIS HAS PROBABLY TOLD YOU NOTHING (BUT HEY AT LEAST NOW YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO CALCULATE IT YOURSELF IF YOU WANT TO KNOW PERSEPHONE'S HEIGHT IN A SPECIFIC KIND OF APPLE LMAO)
THANKS ANON, THIS IS THE MOST MATH I'VE EVER HAD TO DO SINCE HIGH SCHOOL, THIS FANART BETTER BE WORTH IT /HJ
(i'm actually very much looking forward to whatever ur cooking up but i'm also incredibly confused and intrigued as to why you specifically needed apples for scale fjdkalsfjdaskl but i guess we'll find out ???)
#ask me anything#ama#anon ama#anon ask me anything#lore rekindled ama#i actually did so many double takes on the math tho#how are these apples so SMOL#like i redid the equation THREE TIMES and double checked the numbers from multiple different sources#apparently they're just that freaking teeny#wild

Archive.org being down has got me curious about a bunch of stuff, so - poll! Also, hi! if you're a podficcer you are definitely invited to the podfic community on tumblr!
There's no "I don't podfic" option because it would win over any of the other options and it'd probably make me sad to see the graph so unbalanced
dropbox is on "allows streaming on ao3" and off ao3 because in my experience people don't always put it in their < audio > tags, just give the link.
If you have Opinions TM, as a listener or a podficcer, on which ones are nice to use or whatever, you can reply on this! Def interested.
#podfic#audiofic#should probably say#my primary site is archive.org#but I also have links to drive and dropbox#I'm slowly backing things up to the audiofic archive#and as I update posts to reflect that I've started to use multiple sources for the < audio > tag#got a lot of these options from GodOfLaundryBaskets' 'A Breakdown of Podfic Hosting Options'#so if you're interested on how to use them and the pros/cons of them check out their post!

Carl's nickname for TeTe being "Bonnie".🥹💕 Which she loves in two-fold because of the meaning and because it's the mashup of her girls.
This adorableness hits even harder with Carl & TeTe now welcoming a little bundle of joy of their own.
Bess and Connie are TeTe's daughters, full stop. No caveats. They'll always be the OG girls, and I can see him referring to them as such. He sees the three of them coming, and that cheering face of his lights up like a hearth was lit from within. "There they are, my bonnie hens and my bonnie lass."
It might take him a while to vocalize it (not because he doesn't feel it, but because he doesn't want to infringe on George/Arthur and overstep in any way).
But once those gates open? Oh, he embraces it.
Not to mention, it's pretty accurate for TeTe.
"Ye know why I chose 'Bonnie' for ya?"
"Haha, I've heard 'bonnie' means beautiful, but I assume you chose it because of the lovely girls under my wing?"
"I chose it for both, of course."
"Truly?"
"Oh, don't be coy! Not wit' me. If there was ever a fine lady who knew her unbridled glory, it's Theresea DoGoode."
"Carl, mo leannan, you are too sweet for your own good."
"You daffy little -- so ye do know."
"Oho, always~"
"So if I said, "Tha gaol agam ort," ya can parse that?"
"I have a vague idea."
"I think you can guess, mo chridhe."
#oc headcanons#ask#quill-pen#Carl continuing the legacy of being a top-tier Pack man#he's got lifelong membership#also I'm not Scottish but I fact-checked things and cross-referenced across multiple sources#if anything is off I'm so sorry

The buyer’s remorse still pisses me off. not to sound too condescending, but none of this was secret info. You refused to listen or just didn’t think this would impact you. It’s fair to be critical of democrats outreach strategy, but at the same time we gotta stop making excuses for grown ass adults who have access to information at their fingertips. It a voter’s job to educate themselves and do their own research
#the way the top google search after election was ‘ can I change my vote?’#and the ‘ what’s a tarrif? ‘#dumb fucks#none of this was secret#you just didn’t want to listen for your own reason or didn’t think it would impact you#those who votes third party or didn’t vote piss me off so much#it was all laid out and kamala and other dems were mentioning project 2025#this is why he loves the uneducated#it was all there and somehow it was a hard choice for you#whe was talking about this stuff in 2017#we can criticize dem’s outreach methods but grown adults also need to take responsibility and do their own research when voting#I miss when fact checking and using multiple sources was taught in school#we even had mock elections in middle school and had to do pros and cons of every proposal#also I’m so disgusted by all the special Ed teachers and parents who knowingly voted to harm those in their care

I love your room analysis posts!! I just wanted to let you know tho that in your discussion about Leona’s room and the chess board, rooks cannot move diagonally! :)
The internet has lied to me yet again.
#not writing;;#answered;;#Thank you for sending this in#im being goofy but i appreciate this#i do quite a bit of research but even still i cant always guarantee that my research is 100% accurate#especially when I saw multiple sources say this and it doesnt seem to be true#tldr let this be a lesson to never trust the internet and to always do thorough fact checking#people DO go on the internet and just LIE and they do it about CHESS PIECES I cant believe this

My mom didn't go with me to the vet with dust but today she was like "did she give dust a steroid shot? I was reading online that a different vet gave somebody else's cat a steroid shot. Also im gonna buy dust some supplements to put in his food to help" like why in the world are you trusting the advice of people who have never laid eyes on my cat over the advice of the licensed professional who did??
#my mom doesnt know this but im extra miffed bc the lady who checked us out told me that the vet who saw my cats#was the first woman to become a veterinarian in my state like. ur really gonna disrespect my feminist icon vet like this?!#i told her to wait on the supplements until after his follow up appointment#bc she literally told me that if he does have herpes its hard to treat and we might have to try multiple things#also she gave my other cat a steroid shot for a different issue so its not like she has some weird aversion to giving steroid shots#the two sites ive been to about feline herpes say that treatment depends on the symptoms and that eye symptoms#are commonly treated with eyedrops... which is what the vet gave me.... like where did my mom even get her sources#possibly from google AI if i had to guess since it recommends both immunosuppresants (e.g. steroids) and supplements#i even googled steroid shots for feline herpes and the 2 sites i viewed were like no we dont really do that except in special circumstances#like come on. i think since we had never even heard of feline herpes before we can give the professional#a little bit of trust here before we start playing animal doctor. at least until the follow up appointment in 2 weeks

The best and worst part about writing is doing research. I love learning about different cultures, but I'm always paranoid that I'm accidentally going to use the wrong word for 'mom/mother' or, despite triple & quadruple checking, mixing up my facts about life in a region
#chinese culture i love you but i am so scared to write about you#the only thing i got going for me is NOT using google translate#i have origins w/ a native American tribe & im paranoid to write that too 😭#yes this is about#michael yew#chinese michael yew supremecy#always cross check with multiple sources if not getting information from someone from a culture#or regions#im so tired mb is this is badly worded

The education gap is very clear and I don’t mean this in a condescending way.
#we are just getting dumber as a society no critical thinking skills or reasoning#also education gap is legit why they want to ban books and make changes to curriculum#people don’t fact check and I don’t even think they teach that in schools anymore#they taught us to fact check and look at multiple sources freshmen year then things really shifted

So... I believed in a fact about Tiberius for like a year, thinking it came from Suetonius. It turns out that the "fact" came to me in a dream and Suetonius never wrote it.
#uhhhhhh#so thats why everyone should always check their sources#i dont even know how this happened#i read suetonius tiberius multiple times#but i was still convinced that suetonius said that until two minutes ago#so thats embarrassing#the thing is#i read about history so much during the day#that during the night i dream about reading about history#and i forget if i read something in a dream or in real life#so i really have to check my dang sources lol#ancient rome#roman history#history#tiberius#emperor tiberius
