This is branching from clashing of genres to some kind of character trait narrative science.

Are these tropes the way they are because of the characters or because of the environment?

Nature vs Nurture: Fanfiction edition.

something fun about all those "could granny weatherwax defeat kira" "could the infinity train fix izzy hands" sort of tumblr polls is like. there's a smug answer that's just "it depends whose story they're in," like, bugs bunny always wins if the genre is a looney tunes short but if he's in some sort of grimdark action drama then he's just a rabbit and gets shot by a hunter. but the other way to look at those polls is that's the whole question: whose genre rules have priority? there are some characters whose genre rules take priority over whatever story they're in.

here's what i say, granny weatherwax would always defeat kira precisely because granny can't exist in the death note universe without her own genre rules taking over; there's no "if it's a light yagami story then light wins" here because if granny's there it isn't a light yagami story. bugs bunny always wins because whatever story he enters becomes a looney tunes short, he cannot by his nature exist in any other context. the answer to "which our flag means death character could survive black sails?" is stede bonnet and only stede bonnet, because if any other ofmd character enters black sails they become a black sails character and most black sails characters die. but stede is the one who carries the romcom aura and that's part of who he is, if stede enters the world of black sails then black sails is now a romcom, and he's absolutely fine

I love and hate this.

On the one hand it's a wild congruence of things, and I love those typically. The traditional elegance of a chandelier amidst the kitschy modernity of a lava lamp is a great dichotomy. Not one I'd want permanently around but I am glad it happened at least once in this world.

But this raising a lava lamp to the ceiling where you have to crane your neck back in order to stare mesmerized by the slow motion bubbling bloops is just wrong. Lava lamps are meant to be much closer to eye level. Now combining an elegant table lamp with a lava lamp. Then you might have something.

I mean the entire nature of slang is twisting words to mean things other than their literal meaning. It's not just contextually dependent, but culturally dependent. So if you're coming from an outside perspective (let alone an outside mothertongue) you're naturally at a disadvantage to understanding it.

This is probably true of every language to some degree or other.

english slang is awful i would hate to be learning this shit. like the word shit. something can be horseshit or bullshit which means it's a lie. but cow shit is just poop. and something can be dogshit which means it's really bad quality. but cat shit is just poop.

Gav’s Tavern Hi, I hope you like this. It is different from what I usually do. Also it was a lot of work.

Reblogging cause I tried some of these and so far it's working well.

Another watercolour painting of a hypothetical red fern, made from extras of making my colour pallete. The yellows really make the image pop!

This time it's my own art. Just a watercolour test. I bought the set years ago but I didn't have the opportunity to test every palette until now. I also apologise for accidentally spamming a giant text wall on mobile. It turns out that Read More is only available on desktop.

Just. The sheer joviality of that goron's expression over these savage lines.

Reblogging for two reasons. 1, this is wild to learn. 2, "Dark Oxygen" is a kickass band name.

Scientists have just discovered some rocks at the bottom of the ocean can make oxygen... and they do it in complete darkness!

These aren’t magic stones, they’re polymetallic nodules, potato-sized metal lumps packed with manganese, cobalt, and nickel.

But here’s the twist; when seawater flows over their surfaces, they generate tiny electric currents that can split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. No sunlight, no photosynthesis, just deep-sea chemistry creating breathable gas in the pitch black.

This “dark oxygen” could explain how deep-sea creatures survive in low-oxygen zones far from the surface. What's even wilder is that if this can happen on Earth, it could be happening right now in the hidden oceans of Europa or Enceladus, two icy moons that scientists think might host alien life.
