on the upside, these are coming along well. I'm going to make either an overlay or an alternate version of the feline skins to go with them, so the beans will line up right.
#I also plan to make them compatible with the feline dick I'm working on#but for obvious reasons any dick projects are currently on hold#due to The Problems

Shared here today by Matthew Boroson on Facebook. (ETA: Gaining inspiration from other authors is great. Lifting passages and avoiding giving credit isn’t.)
Tanith Lee was the first woman to win the British Fantasy Award for best novel, for the second book of the Flat Earth series. She died in 2015. You can buy Tales From the Flat Earth here and here .
#neil gaiman#tanith lee#I had no idea#this has made me even angrier#and also clarifies a few more things for me#anyway I thought you’d want to know#eta: inspiration is not plagiarism — the problem is not that he was inspired by other works#most good authors are#the problem is lifting passages#and the other problem is not crediting inspiration where it’s clearly due

This is moreover complicated by the fact that the [South African] apartheid state did not acknowledge itself as engaged in a war. The apartheid state in the late 1970s saw itself as engaged in a ‘total onslaught’, preferring to refer to its ‘enemy’ as terrorists rather than declaring an outright war. According to Cock and Nathan, the choice for the apartheid state to define the conflict as unrest or terrorism as opposed to war implied that liberation movement fighters were denied the prisoner of war status granted by the Geneva Protocols to those engaged in war against colonial powers.
— Women combatants and the liberation movements in South Africa (2015) by Siphokazi Magadla
its refreshing to see this so plainly laid out in writing. a terrorist is just someone the state has decided has no rights
#book club#the author is grappling with this through the construction of 'veteran' and how that label is harder to apply to anti-apartheid fighters#due to a lack of distinction between civilian/military and the combined internal + international nature of decolonial resistance#+ the policy problems this creates in post-colonial states with combatant reintegration. anyway interesting text so far

#every time I talk about the long-standing bot/scammer problem on here and remind people of basic internet/financial safety#there's always at least one clown going “BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REAL PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP YOU MONSTER?”#well now there's a due warning posted right where anyone can see it#so either they're asking every blog they see for money without even checking bios (which is still spam)#or they're *GASP* a bot

The ring was small and silver with a single emerald embedded in the metal.
It wasn’t something flashy, it probably cost less than the smallest gem from his vault all together.
But it was perfect.
Which made it so heartbreaking to turn it down.
“Dick.. you know me so well.. I wish I could take this ring, i really do.”
Dick was still on one knee in the little apartment, but he put the small box down on the floor as he asked.
“Then what’s stopping you?”
Danny let out a bitter chuckle,
“The US government.”
#so your boyfriend warned you that he had died when he was 14#when you first got serious#you thought it was so you understood he may have health problems later due to complications#in reality#The government thinks your boyfriend is nonsentient and non-sapient#welp you now have things to do#dick:… it’s.. a… temporary set-back!#dick: It's a momentary lapse But conveniently my ego doesn't bruise#writing prompt#dp x dc#danny fenton#dc x dp#shipping#dick grayson#dead of night#ghost circus#The US government: why do i hear boss music

Ik it doesn't align with canon but I do just see Keith as someone who if he is not doing kick flips in the Castle training room just conks out.
Like he eats his food, he does his missions, he does his probably 3-4 hour training a day and then he sits down and passes out snoring immediately.
And the problem with that is anytime someone needs to talk to him has to hope he didn't sit down on an excursion around the many layered and roomed castleship cause he could be asleep on a fucking rafter in the belly of the ship and it's gonna take them a solid couple hours to find him.
#i just think he is annoyingly sleepy person due to overworking himself so often and often finding very active excuses to not hang with ppl#and that this would become less of a problem when he finds a suitable response to his insomnia issues and lack of social interaction#he truly is a socially inclined dog who just has not been properly acclimatised to people and does zoomies till he sleeps and zoomies again#(also no this is not me projecting as someone wholl have insomnia for like 3 nights and then conk out for effectively 3 days)#keith#keith vld#vld keith#keith voltron#voltron keith#keith kogane#voltron#vld#voltron: legendary defender

Lineart by @ovytia-art which was such a blast to color - I love the entire vibe of all of them hanging out together so much @green-with-envy-phandom-event
#greenwithenvy2024#danny phantom#i picked it for Dani originally but i really do love seeing all of them interact together it makes me really happy to see#fun fact the flats (including background) took almost 4 hours. + i had to spread that up over a few days due to eye problems slowing me dow#but it was so so worth it. no one else will really understand but working on it gave me the same kind of goofy fun stress free feeling as#when me and my friends hang out at our dennys. i have a newfound fondness for nasty burger.#anyway do NOT look too closely at the car background because i /know/ they're messed up perspective just. hush.#i designed some nasty burger logos for this based on the canon sign! it was very fun!!!! and i reused them for another piece#dp jbee

One of the funniest parts about the whole “Leo not giving Draxum any grace” idea is that Draxum is one of the ONLY notable older men in the show that Leo isn’t willing to give a proper second chance to OR really hear out in the first place.
No seriously it’s genuinely a Thing.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#rottmnt headcanons#the men I’m thinking of specifically are as follows#marcus moncrief? very quickly just went along with anything he said#then repeating this AGAIN later#(Leo also refers to him as a father figure before ever actually meeting him lol)#piel? Leo happily greets and immediately offers his (and Hueso’s) help to the ex pirate#this is largely due to Leo’s own brother problems but it’s still a part of this trend#hypno? Leo literally stops fighting him to watch his magic act lol plus he helps Warren save him#if we count other older men then the list grows to continue the following#Tim Dunkman? Leo notably does his best to do good in Tim’s eyes#apologizing earnestly to Tim even when it’s not his fault even#and this is another older man Leo refers to as a surrogate father#Leo also quickly falls for the evil hair Yokai Masseur’s lies despite the bad vibes he got#Leo also was the main one who went easy on Bullhop#and let’s not forget Señor Hueso and Leo’s strong attachment to him despite Hueso’s consistent insults and annoyance#like even WARREN gets Leo’s sympathy and assistance when they all helped him get Hypno back#you can even argue that Leo WAS willing to hear Draxum out when they first met#and Leo assumed Draxum was surrendering before the whole ‘BARON DRAXUM DOES NOT SURRENDER’ thing#hell he’s not even antagonistic really to Draxum he just doesn’t really like him#he’ll listen to his advice if necessary#anyway this being a fairly consistent character trait of Leo’s is funny to me#it’s always specifically older men too - Big Mama does NOT get anything but immediate suspicion#not all of them but most of the ones Leo has specific interactions with are like this#I’m just saying!!! Splinter I love you dearly but your boys have Issues™️#anyway each of the boys has something like this going on#Leo’s are just weirdly consistent and happen a lot for a two season show

The Sign of Four
If we take a Watsonian approach to events, he and Doyle must have met before 1886, as by then the latter had sold the publishing rights to A Study in Scarlet. In light of Holmes’ subsequent international fame, that £25 doesn’t seem like much, but for a novel that had limited success, it is still a welcome addition to Watson’s small pension of 11s. 6d. a day.
Readers had to wait six years between the events of this first adventure and their publication, and they would have to wait over two years to hear of Holmes again. Perhaps, once split between the two doctors, the money wasn’t really worth the effort, or maybe Watson was too busy between getting married, setting up a practice and assisting Holmes on hundreds of cases to sit down and write anything up. The next story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", was released in the newly founded Strand Magazine only a few months after Holmes' disappearance.

#The first rule of STUD is we do not talk about the tedious historical bits.#[Live 1887 Beeton's Christmas Annual reader reaction]#Did you know the 1914 STUD film was re-released in 1922 as “In the Grip of the Mormons” due to a regained interest in Mormonism?#I am finding that currently my no. 1 problem is the amount of time I waste cross-checking chronologies.#sherlock holmes

wwx is the type of guy who always has 100000000+ yuan worth of items in his cart in online shopping stores but never buys ANYTHING like ever! so one day he leaves his computer open and his lovely husband lwj sees all the items on his cart, he decides to buy everything on it because if wwx has it in his cart he must really want it! and wwx needs to spoil himself more. wwx gets soooo freaked out when he sees his shopping cart (that hes been adding stuff onto for years btw) sitting infront of his door, acting as an extra wall when he tries to leave their house for something. he starts panicking bc he thinks he accidently pressed check out. he starts trying to return everything bc theres NO way he can justify spending that much money, no matter how much his husband makes. later lwj stops him ofc, telling him he should have everything he wants and if he wanted everything that was on his cart then he should have them. wwxs argument was there was not enough space in their house for all of this random shit (there definitely was) and lwj said with the straightest face ever
"fine. we'll get a larger house then"
"WHAT NO LAN ZHAN"
wwx somehow made everything worse wtf!
"anything for my wife."
#that didnt even make a dent in lwjs bank account my guy is LOADRD#loaded#am i projecting? absolutely.#i have about a million items in my cart and i wish someone would buy me all of it bc i really dont want to waste my money on them so i just#yk#gave wwx my problems#but alas he has a rich husband and i had an hour of sleep#wwx sleeps on his husbands huge pecs and i dont sleep#choosing instead to stay up and read fanfiction instead of writing the essays we had about 2 weeks to write#the world is a cruel#unfriendly place#and im gay#😔#see here folks this is why you should finish your essays NOT a few hours before its due#sleep is important#SHIT THE FANDOM TAGS#mdzs#wangxian#wei wuxian#lan wangji
