I used to believe that bugs were little robots. Lots of people do, it’s the prevailing opinion next to “i’ve never thought about it”. Then I watched a mother wasp mourn her child. An animal who stretched after a nap and did little dances when her daughters returned from flight. Now she is opening her fourth capped hexagon and finding a pale white stillborn. She grasps the baby gently in her jaws and does not put it down for over 24 hours. Carries her loss, pacing back and forth the length of her enclosure. It is not the behavior of a robot.

So I think about the prior odds. Scenario A, bugs are robots. Why do I believe that? Because they are so tiny. Because if they are not robots then my world [where “insect exterminator” is a job title and I can buy a can of mass death at home depot] does not make sense. They must be insignificant.

The wasp makes me reconsider. Scenario B: her kind are like mine. cry when we are sad and happy when we play. Has this feature evolved many times? Or is it common to all the children of the precambrian worm? Every shark in the ocean swimming in their own feelings. Every bird and every cat knowing the thrill of being alive? The wasp made me realize that my whole moral picture is wrong. We’re not alone on this planet,

i have been contemplating the circumstances of dimples death which lead me down a rabbit hole of catholicism in Japanese history, here is the result...

[ID: two illustrations of dimple/ekubo from mob psycho 100. in the first image, there is a half-body sketch of a human, pre-death dimple. he is wearing a dark navy robe and has black, slightly curly hair. next to him is a block of text: "pre-death ekubo. 42 at death. -part of a sect of catholicism[in japan] in the 1600s, hidden from the shogun due to the persecution of said sect -to keep their practices secret, priesthood was hereditary. dimple was to be a priest after his father. he died before he could. - the negative emotions leading up to his crucifixion was so strong that he turned into a spirit in the afterlife" in the second image, there is pre-death ekubo and spirit ekubo floating above him, in a color palette of red, black and gold. human ekubo is facing the viewer, his face covered in shadows. his hands are together and he is holding a rosery. behind human ekubo's head is a gold-leaf circle. END ID]

i think those 'reigen fearing for his life when with ritsu' posts so funny bc one of the most important things in their dynamic is the fact that reigen is an adult and ritsu is 13

like, yeah i see where youre coming from but all i can see is this

Shipping Cassandra and Leliana is so funny because I feel like the only people who actually do it have either only played Inquisition or don't think much past "Well they're the Left and Right Hands of the Divine" because you KNOW they only get along to the extent they do in Inquisition because they've never had an actual conversation because the second Leliana opened her mouth about her theology in front of Cassandra, they would have been trying to strangle each other

Izzy is a mom friend who’s been severely taken advantage of and abused I just know he’s walking around with a black leather fanny pack filled with Ed’s chapstick, cartoon character bandaids, and banana chips. He’s lurking in the corner with his raspy voice going “boss your blood sugar is low. Do you want the peanut butter crackers?” and “y’can’t give him the fuckin Star Wars bandaids, bonnet, you ponce, he only likes the Astro Boy kind.”

One reason I think the "GlaDos/Caroline is actually Chell's mother because she sang Cara Mia" theory is bullshit is because I just know if the two characters were dudes everyone would be falling over themselves to yell about how gay and shippy it is

We're literally told in t8 that Jun, even if spiritually powered by the Kazama Shrine, not only survived Ogre but beat him and drove him away. In his ending, Kazuya -one of the strongest individual in the world- views her as an equal because it is implied she is the only one he considers his equal in strength; in the canon storymode, he even chastises Jin for using half-baked Kazama moves, once again implying that the moves Jun used against him were better and stronger. While non-canon, her character episode literally has her beating Azazel as her final boss. She's as strong as Kazuya and Jin, meaning she could very well hold her own against Heihachi. Why would she need to be protected by anyone again?

Trans women are like the backbone of Tumblr’s nsft community. Not just in the sexual sense, but in creating welcoming environments with clear communication. They talk about their interests. reblog art, share important info about kink safety. and help carve out a safe space for other trans people to explore their sexuality in a safe environment where they don’t have to worry that their attraction is predatory or “too weird”. It’s wonderful seeing trans women so present and comfortable sharing their desires here!

Thank you Trans Women 💗

Every time I "finish" an AMV, I create a comparison like this.

The left side is the "effectless" draft—minimal transitions, zero coloring, limited text animation—while the right side is the "final" version I post online. It's a way to assess my work; where did the added effort elevate the edit, and where do my eyes find themselves drawn more to the draft because the "final" version is too busy, too overwhelming, too much?

I'm new to video editing. There aren't even 20 AMVs to my name, and I only seriously started a little over a year ago. My process involves a lot of struggling with what a "good" AMV is, a lot of wondering if I'm doing it all wrong—anxieties that were only exacerbated by a popular post that crossed my dash many months ago. It decried AMVs that don't edit with the full song as worthless, bad, garbage. The kids don't know how to do it right.

Not a kid, but maybe they've got a point!

Still, it was a disheartening sentiment to read. And while I might not know much, I think I am confident in knowing this: there are many AMV styles out there, and the shorter ones may certainly not be everyone's cup of tea, but that doesn't mean that they're devoid of love, time, effort, or passion. The video at the top of this post is hardly 30 seconds long, and it still took over 60 hours of spilling out ideas and cutting clips and learning new skills and scrapping new skills and tweaking transitions and coloring and recoloring and shaking my head and giving up and trying again.

Fan vidders, no matter the style they employ, are devoting their free time and energy to create. It'd be ludicrous to suggest that a movie is inherently inferior to a TV series, or a short story automatically meaningless compared to a novel.

The same should absolutely apply to fan videos.

okay can i be 100% honest with you guys? my ex used to brag to me about the fact that he was able to make all his old girlfriends cum and that he was really good at eating pussy and honestly? i am not convinced he managed to get any of those women to cum bc he was kinda awful at it
