new breed lore is fun but it's also frustrating because Lightning's infrastructure increasingly doesn't make any SENSE. why are they out here laying kilometers of underground cabling that goes to nowhere? (for that matter, why are they building it underground in the first place when they clearly also have overhead wires figured out??) and what's a "node"? that's not a thing! if you wanted a technobabble-y word, "transformer" or "substation" are both sufficiently cool-sounding pieces of jargon that are also actually used in power grids and wait, where are you going, come back, i have more to say about the fantasy dragon neopets electricity distribution systems—

#I'm not even an engineer! but come on #(to be clear this is joking and lighthearted)#(but also i can't help but craving a little more meat to the worldbuilding)#(I'm not demanding hard science i know it's dragons and magic i get it)#(but for a flight that's all about efficiency I'm seeing some real gaps in their infrastructure cost-benefit analysis)

No, never. Missy! I will never stand with Doctor!

#simm!master #missy #gomez!master #tenth doctor #twelfth doctor #doctor x master #doctor who #dwedit #dw #*#not even trying to consistently color this one soz ✌️#so i was thinking abt the change in simm!master's attitude from eot (“get out of the way”) to s10 (“i will never stand with the doctor”)...#and like. what if you voluntarily saved the doctor by throwing yourself back into the time war #the war that you made yourself human to escape from the first time round #dragged back to gallifrey at the mercy of the ppl who you just opposed? (the people who engineered your insanity in the first place?)#when missy asks him to go to gallifrey with her & 12 says ''you'll be clapped irons'' yeah i'm sure it was a great deal more than that #for the deserter. for the person who they cursed as a child & still failed to bring about their salvation #for the someone who tried to kill the founder of all time lord society #and then when gallifrey is saved... does the doctor (again: whose life you saved!!! when you last saw each other) come looking for you? no #you have to get yourself out. and when you find yourself trapped & the doctor finally does appear... what does he say to you?#''so they cured your little condition and kicked you out'' !!!!#like. yeah. i think simm!master is totally in the right for not listening to a single thing 12 says past that point. lmao.

Henry gasping for air, unable to accept how Alex was there fighting for them, for him.

Alex was there regardless of Henry leaving, of an ocean between them, regardless of their public roles and futures...

Alex knew Henry was his future, but Henry never imagined the possibility of even having one, in the first place.

I associate Henry's gaps with this quote:

"And you can't explain it, when it really happens, when you feel all the weight of the irremediable condition of human being. While feeling the body forcefully slamming against the walls of the soul. The exact moment you know you love."

(Come Anima mai - Eng translation)

Original quote from Come Anima Mai by Rossana Soldano:

E non puoi spiegarlo, quando davvero accade, quando senti addosso tutta l’irrimediabilità della condizione di essere umano. Mentre senti il corpo sbattere prepotentemente contro le pareti dell’anima. Il momento preciso in cui sai di amare.

i think i officially set my sights on a therapist and i'll be contacting her very soon?? therapy was legitimately not on my 2024 bingo card (or in the cards for me at all) but here we are????

#this blog always had a focus on social science and detangling feelings and experiences. like it's basically been serving as my diary #bc this blog has always been my main outlet for it. i hate talking feelings to anyone irl. it's a bad habit but i hate it #so it was a game changer and helped me grow up sooo much. esp supplemented w other people's experiences.#being raised by a stoic engineer mother who's very much warm but also not very good at feelings at times has caused me to suppress SO much #compounded w being the eldest daughter. like that is a damning sentence in and of itself #tumblr just gave me an outlet for stuff like this. and every social media is essentially a highlight reel of ppl's best moments.#tumblr is the opposite. i've always loved that too whether it was in the form of humor or more earnest posts #could i work through my own issues by myself? yes probably #and my blog will always have that facet even if i get a therapist #but a therapist's input. just a professional's input. will expedite a lot of improvement for me i think #this has been a critical time period for me anyway bc i'm budgeting my whole schedule for once vs being handheld by uni deadlines #and it's just gonna keep getting more and more intense from here bc i'm truly pushing my comfort zone more than ever before #it just feels like the right call even tho i'm lowkey nervous ab it bc i HATE talking feelings in person.#this therapist will not fall for my trying to deflect by asking her about her life. which. usually works on my friends <3 #we will see. a therapy arc is coming very soon basically #p

FFXIVSwap gift for @mythandral :>

I decided to use one of the themes, and went with 'Vacation'! I have sent Myth on a trip to Sharlayan so that he can take in the sights and discuss engineering triumphs and tribulations with like-minded folks. And maybe get a nap or two in, too :>

#ffxivswap #he is SO fun to pose I hope I did him justice + that you like!#i'm sorry i gave him neck cramps from falling asleep on a bench :(#the guy taking notes in shot 2 has been trying to solve for an engineering problem for the last MONTH #and myth has just provided the stack overflow response that works with his setup #arguing guy has a one-liner response that is incorrect #pink hair has already thought of six ways to silence him forever :)#hat guy just loves automatons and just might be waiting his turn to infodump on his latest project #on which noteguy helped! arguing guy did too because in certain arenas he's a goddamn wizard even if a bit abrasive #coming in right at the deadline this time thanks to some rl matters OTL thank you for your patience!

younger henry cringe compilation

#thomas the tank engine #thomas and friends #ttte henry #ttte spencer #ttte edward #ttte gordon #casa tidmouth #senjart #consider this a celebration for henry coming in third place in the topdisease competition!#henrysweep2k23 forever.....!#anyways for some reason I'm obsessed with the youth of the rws trio. their story before casa tidmouth #what if henry worried about everything and constantly sweated like a sad dog when he was younger (parallel to his cgi version)#then when he got older especially after he met lady he became mentally stronger and even sharp (parallel to his rws and model versions)#food for thought in this au.... tsk tsk.......

And you best hope, it's not pointed at you...

He knows how to stay safe while he scavange through the wasteland. It's better not to come too close at him...

Yeah I know, I draw Aster mostly as a tame version but be sure: This boy is not tame...

He just holds on firmly on the last string of reason.

My kingdom for a "So you say” (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #ZEX #Dexter Favin #Hhhh they ;; Their ''first'' interaction!#Officially up to three cryings - not that I'm surprised I love Dex <3 #My head was fully abuzz during this scene there are so so so many interesting details!#So interesting to see which ''held true'' and which were left behind - which ones became Helix while others didn't!#At this point I almost see Helix as an alternate timeline - kind of like how Defeated is a branching arm off the main body #Not terribly dissimilar but the details that are different are too interesting to let go of so just make it all canon in its own way! Hehe #Especially since Helix is largely from Max's 3rd person perspective so the way he tells it is different than Dexter haha #Very interesting what he leaves out in his retelling hehehehe ♪♫#Anyhow enough of Max he's not even here rn sheesh ♪ ZEX! And Dexter ;;#Hghhghh it's all set up so deviously <3 That fact that up to this point ZEX has been relying on Zelnick especially to give him credence #And then as soon as someone he ''knows he trusts'' comes to throw a wrench into things - Dexter has as much weight or more!#He's specifically engineered to sow doubt and confusion! Gosh what a place to grow his character from <3 <3 #ZEX's pride undoes him completely it's So well written ♥ Truly a fatal flaw for VUX and the way he's picked apart aghh <3 #And?? The fact that I can hear ''Max's'' voice in ZEX's syntax as soon as he doesn't have a good argument??? Hello????#I know they come from the same base but like!! How!!! Masterful 💖#As I drew it it's a bit out of order - Dexter says he can't protect Max (😭) before ZEX starts crying it all got a bit mixed in my head #I was very emotional at the time you understand haha #It's all so sad! They're so close in some ways to being or having what the other wants but both fall just short #No wonder they took what little comfort in each other they could <3 ZEX comforted by his voice and Dex comforted by caring for his body #They have so little to offer each other trapped as they are ;;#It's all so interesting and distressing!! There's so much to think about as everything falls into place!

My cat just ran outside while I was taking my dog out to the bathroom, refuses to come back while calling her and shaking food at her. Actively runs in the opposite direction. And ofc someone broke the laser pointer I keep on my keys so I can't trick her back into the apartment. I'm so pissed that shit broke off, all my other crappy keychains are still attached. The laser was how I got her back last time she escaped but she'd only taken a few steps out and I was able to snatch her.

And I'm not supposed to have her so I can't even notify the apartment complex a cat is missing 😐 guess she's an outdoor cat now :/

#she chose a really bad time to run away #i already searched and tried to get her back for an hour #I'm dead to the world after 3.5 straight weeks of 12-13 hour shifts #i feel bad not caring but she made her choice. she wants to go back to being a street cat 🤷🏽‍♀️#she's spayed so i feel even less guilty if she doesn't come back bc shes not adding to the population problem #i'll miss her but if she doesnt want to be caught she wont be #the only reason she got picked off the street in the first place is bc she got stuck in an engine #any tips or tricks people suggest I've already tried them. shes not scared or lost. she actively does not want to come back #this cat is ridiculously food motivated and she still wouldn't come back as i shook the food bag and poured some in her bowl #if she comes back at all I'll be surprised #she's lived on the street she's not an indoor only princess cat who will realize it sucks outside. i know shes not gonna come back #I don't 'not care' really. honestly I'm furious she slipped out past me.#but atm i literally have 0 energy left. work has broken me. if she comes back hooray. if she doesn't wtf am I supposed to do #i don't have money for traps and if she doesn't want to be caught she won't #i just hope she sticks to residential areas :/#i just don't know what else to really do if I've done everything i can in my power to get her back

I love radians as much as the next gal, particularly because of how they make the e^iπ-1 thing work out (it's because e is a circle in the complex plane) but I do think it's a little wild that most programs default to them over degrees the thing that most people who aren't mathematicians use because you gotta get at least to Taylor serieses before getting why radians are so sexy.

#Less that particular equation and more how beautifully the taylor series works out to give that #But at any rate I do think if I put sin(30) into a search engine it should give me .5 #Actually tbh it's more because you can use small angel approximations but those fall out of the taylor series too #When I say mathematicians I mean people doing serious calc in their work so also physicists and chemists #Plus probably other specializations I'm forgetting or am unaware of #All sorts of variations on those two certainly #the oceanographers for instance #My point is that radians are the superior angle unit for calculus based work #But it's a wash with degrees at best when it comes to geometry #and IMO people are doing geometry more than they're doing calculus #Radians are also basically useless when they aren't presented as fractions of π #Which can't be said about degrees #Anyone who tells you that they have a better grasp of fractions of π than of 90 is lying #Even if they are the sort of person who uses them enough to prefer the humble radian

northern rail you are my sworn mortal enemy

#why does all our infrastructure investment go to SHITTY LONDON i just want to catch a train from my town that actually turns up !!!!!!!#i already have a 20 minute taxi drive from my village to the closest train station #to go and sit in a shitty windowless train station with no bathroom or cafe or ANYTHING. just a platform.#AND THEN IT HAS THE AUDACITY TO CANCEL #and even when they do come it's a SHITTY AWFUL 90S DIESEL ENGINE THAT CAN FIT FUCK ALL PEOPLE #INSIDE IT #THE LONDON CAST-OFFS THAT THE SOUTH DIDN'T WANT ANYMORE #i'm going to explode. i'm actually going to explode.

Barry, Craig and Brains as a trio would literally be just like Kirk, Spock and Bones. like. that is them. that is literally them. no i am not elaborating further

#barry steakfries #jetpack joyride #craig jetpack joyride 2 #professor brains #star trek #star trek tos #jim kirk #spock #bones mccoy #this is literally them though.#i saw a redraw of that image with two guys kissing and another one who's facepalming as spirk and bones-#-and i think that would literally be barry craig and brains if they were a trio #that would be them. that would absolutely be them. this is canon now #this post is probably incomprehensible to either fandom who doesn't know who these characters are and i think that's very funny #wait actually jetpack joyride did have a star trek event. this could work. this could actually work. holy shi t #if barry was a starfleet officer what kind would he be. would he be like a commander or the security guy who handles-#-all the weapons on the bridge #because either one would fit #i'm basing that more off tng's ranks but like. barry could easily be either one of those.#craig's rank is a no brainer. he'd either be a science officer or a medical officer #maybe even engineering considering he has a knack for coming up with ideas for robots and can apparently repair them in JJ2 #but i think science officer would fit him the best #maybe brains would be in engineering actually? hmmmmm i should think about this more it's intredesting......#anyway. yeah this is them
