#moth has thoughts

[oflightningandstars]

I have lots of thoughts about disabled!Gorgug and artificing

Major headcanons in play are Gorgug being autistic and having some amount of trouble with fine motor control/hands shaking sometimes, low blood sugar times (that's a whole other post), and some sort of joint/hand pain

Shamelessly pulling in details from my welding class

I think about Gorgug in the Nightmare King's Forest going "it might take me longer, but I'll figure it out eventually" - this sentiment underscores a lot of the following. He will figure out how to make it work eventually, but it might take him longer, and the process might be harder.

Actual list under readmore

needing the instructions gone over more times, or more demonstrations of skills

also takes longer to actually get the skills down/complete the work

added frustration if hands/arms aren't cooperating, has to think extra hard and focus extra on making them do what he needs

^subpoint: moving in ways that aren't as smooth or efficient when trying to wrangle things like maneuvering/picking stuff up/otherwise working on stuff. feeling insecure about the way he moves when he does this. Porter would not be nice about it, but also the movements to swing a giant ax are different than manipulating small pieces of metal

welding booths are private. no one else can see how he moves, freedom to move as weird as he needs to get it done (freedom to stim as much as he needs too)

welding booths are private. no one can see if he starts to cry from frustration when he just can't get something to work

welding booths are private. he can't see how his progress compares to his peers. this helps when he is struggling to get something, he can't see whether people are ahead of him. it helps him work at his own pace, and eventually get it

Gorgug finding ways to make it work better for him, ways to set up the space to brace his arms against, especially when they are being more shaky or otherwise less cooperative

when his hands are particularly shaky going "is this low blood sugar or are my hands just doing this today"

Figuring out the best way to set up supports for different types of work, like different welding positions and such

taking longer to figure out stuff that involves doing three different movements at once (I am looking at you TIG welding)

the sound of ventilation system being overwhelming on its own, earplugs always in

the buzzing from TIG torch added on top of that compounds things, ESPECIALLY if people in booths next to him are also doing TIG welding

the sound combined with general frustration has caused at least one meltdown and/or shutdown

his hands HURT after a session of artificing - the repeated grabbing/pinching motions to not help a potentially general level of pain

And accessibility tools within artificing! Gorgug could learn about what already exists, use them for himself or find ways to make them more helpful to him! But also being able to make things to help his friends (I've seen this in several fics and it is excellent every time)

Can you draw Danny Fenton as Chat Noir and Valerie Gray as LadyBug?

I love this kinda crossover!!!!! One of my favorite pass times is taking 2 shows I like and assigning characters roles from the other show, also drawing characters in other characters' outfits, so this was fun to ponder!!

Guys the caption for Niall's post today being "dumpy mcdumperson" is low-key giving "mcdumblinson" and I find that pretty funny

**AND Louis liked the post. SOOOO.... could mean nothing oBvIoUsLy

I hope am not bothering with this question but i wanted to ask-

Who do you think from the Transformers cast whould be a cicada?

Sorry again for bothering and bad gramar i don't know how to english well

hiya! you're not bothering me at all!! funnily enough it's actually cicada season where i live, so it's the perfect time to ask 😂

im... not actually sure! i feel like theres actually quite a few good candidates (all for very different reasons!) but none of them quite fit. that being said. out of my options: Swerve is talkative and has that sturdy sorta chunky shape that cicadas have going on (or the ones i know of anyway)

other options I thought of was Blaster/Soundwave because of their music/audio related stuff...

also irl bug tw for under the cut, not related to the ask but. ???

GOOGLE HAS A CICADA BUTTON?? LMAO?

people talk about the “good ole days” of avengers fanfic where they all lived in the tower and got up up to shenanigans together like it was weird and cringy that it was a trope but thats literally the plot of the avengers 2012 animated series, episode 3 sams mom bales cookies and they fight over who gets the last one, jarvis bullies them all relentlessly, and they generally get along

tdlr more people need to watch this show

[reflectionsofgalaxies]

met a VERY charming lil friend yesterday who i have never (knowingly) seen before!!! 🖤💛

this is the Sequoia Pitch moth (Synanthedon sequoiae), yes, moth! these fascinating little creatures bear an incredible resemblance to members of the family Vespidae, like common paper wasps and yellowjackets, and that’s no simple coincidence!

the appearance of these moths is an example of Batesian mimicry, a type of mimicry where one species mimics the warning signals of another species, but without having the same harmful or undesirable defences.

in this case these moths look like they may give you a nasty sting, but really they’re about as harmless as a moth can be! (plus they have gorgeous slightly iridescent black-lined wings and fluffy little shrimp-like tails! absolute cuties!)

I think my main problem with Gabriel in the show is that at it’s core he keeps proving over and over again he loves Emilie more than he loves Adrien.

He attempted to akumatize Adrien (the only reason he couldn’t is because Adrien suddenly felt better) and the show gave us two examples that if Gabriel ever found out Cat Noir is actually his son, he wouldn’t hesitate for even a single second to use Adrien as a tool to get his wife back.

Thanks to the s5 finale not having a Cat Noir and Hawk Moth showdown at all (which is like the literal lowest barest of minimums you’d expect from an arc like this, yet they failed at even that) those “what if“ scenarios are officially the only ones we have, and both of them prove Gabriel’s an awful father.

Even with his “sacrifice“ he didn’t give a shit how it could possibly affect Adrien. At the end of the day Gabriel left his son without a father (and possibly without a mother, it’s still vague wheter the woman is Emilie or Amelie, because apperently even Asstruck can’t make up his mind) and his death wish was to make his son live in a lie of what a “good father“ he was (footage not found).

Side note: I mean death wish as a general thing where people make a final wish on their death beds, we still have no idea what his exact wish for Gimmi was.

That’s probably what moved me so much with movie Gabriel. There it’s a lot more obvious his love for Emilie and Adrien are equal, because the literal second he realized he’d been beating the living hell out of his own son, he stops. He also wants his wife back as much as show Gabriel, but the key difference is in the movie he refuses to do it at the cost of his son.

Obviously the cliffhanger ending scene leaves a lot of unanswered questions, but at least judging on this movie alone, he’s miles better than what they did with his character in the show.

And especially with show Adrien canonically being a sentimonster now and Emilie using the peacock miraculous to create him is what caused her “death“ in the first place, kinda makes me wonder if Gabirel unconsciously hates Adrien because of this, wheter he realizes it or not.
