it is really cool that there is now an official maori word for autism, created with input from autistic maoris, and it was specifically coined to be nonjudgmental

quote from article:

“In my experience, people with autism tend to have their own timing, spacing, pacing and life-rhythm, so I interpreted autism as ‘takiwatanga’, meaning ‘his or her own time and space’,” [Keri Opai] told government-funded Maori Television.

I do love that in Rohan culture, it seems that it's the custom for men to go out and fight and die heroically, and for women to honour their sacrifice by crying over their bodies or at their funerals. The men are to be brave, the woman to be loving. The men are to do great things. The women are to remember.

But in the film, whereas Eowyn's most iconic moment is her slaying of the Witch King, a great, heroic deed that cements her place in history, Eomer's most iconic moment is (arguably) his guttural scream when he sees Eowyn dead on the ground, dropping to his knees and cradling her to his chest.

Not only is Eowyn's most iconic moment a scene in which she takes on, by her culture's definition, the man's role, the most important role of a man, to die heroically, Eomer's most iconic moment is when he takes on the "woman's" role, to grieve.

I do love his "Death!" charge in the books so much, but because of this parallel between the siblings, I also love the film version where there is no battle for him to fight, no justice for him to wreak, there's nothing for him to do but cradle Eowyn to his chest and rock her back and forth.

"It's not a passing fascination...

... it's obsession."

Yup, another fic rec, because @splitterregen gave me such wonderful chills with "Beyond Light"

Beyond Light (2039 words) by Splitterregen Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: EPIC - Jorge Rivera-Herrans (Albums) Rating: Mature Warnings: Rape/Non-Con Relationships: Odysseus/Poseidon (EPIC: The Musical) Characters: Odysseus (EPIC: The Musical), Poseidon (EPIC: The Musical) Summary: The thunder bringer sinks Odysseus' last remaining ship, but the king of Ithaca doesn't end up on Calypso's shores.

Fanart for fanfic again, because I sometimes, just can't help myself and need to sketch that stuff because mulling it over in my head just doesn't work out well. So, here you go, I even made it a book cover. 🙈

After reading I obviously had too much time on my hands was obsessed with the idea of infrared light (it feels warm on human skin, although we cannot perceive it with our limited optical array) in an all-dark environment. Did I think for a second trying to paint it? Maybe not. Monochromatic version is my favourite, but have all the other pretty colour versions because I go nowhere without a filter on.

Poseidon's design is neal-illustrator's.

Fic rec on AO3 - "High tide, small waves" by a dear Anonymous, because this is the most wholesome fic I've read for them.

Odysseus/Poseidon, not smut, but absolutely cathartic. I wish this was canon.

Poseidon's design is mine.

Just a quick sketch of them being soft. If you gotta practice lighting and expressions with beards, you should have fun. Too proud of this not to post :D

Two old grumpy guys being soft and silly.

Poseidon's design is mine, Odysseus inspired by WolfyTheWitch. The scene is inspired by Anonymous writer's "We got love" on AO3.

Koby: I can't believe they attacked that little girl. This makes me question the whole system of government our society is based on.

Luffy: Yeah and did you see how hot that bounty hunter was?

“There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. 

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. 

And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.”
