✨🌸 Zinnia — Concept Design 1.17.2024 🌸✨

I never draw or talk about zinnie but I love her sm so everyone say hi to zinnie!! my fallout 3/fnv oc

Commission Info | Ko-Fi | My Links

#my quiet. exhausted. distant. lonely lil bounty hunter/mercenary #she spends a lot of time on the road. she has a radmule. and she loves brahmin they're her favorite animal.#anyway I love her with my entire heart and soul I swear I will draw her more in the future ✌️😔#she at least deserves the bare minimum of an introduction lmao #some of the homies have seen her full concept sheet already but lemme at least post her concept design for funsies #iris was technically my original lone wanderer from when I was a kid but I've repurposed her to be my sosu in recent years #zinnie I half made recently while replaying fo3 but decided to fuse her with my already existing fnv oc also from when I was a kid #hence why she is both #she starts off in the capital wasteland but eventually ends up migrating west #fallout #my art #thinkin bout zinnie

mother-daughter* bonding time in the dome

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #horizon #i love the dynamic of elisabet being aloy's “mother”#but also being a more distant figure bc GAIA was the one to create her #an idea of a person aloy will never truly know #and GAIA positively affirming aloy and soothing her fears #a mother-daughter relationship at the end of the world if there ever was one #aloy despite the nora #GAIA hfw #horizon photomode #my screenshots

this is gonna be me braving going outside during a tornado watch to smoke cigarettes tonight

#you can tell a native-born midwesterner by the level of concern we have for tornadoes. out of towners get spooked over drills. interstate #migrants from the east or the west get paranoid over watches. i check my notifs then but the only time i stay hunkered down in the basement #for hrs at a time w supplies is during a warning. i've known ppl who go out in the rain in lawnchairs to watch distant twisters 💀 i'm not #THAT insane but i am a touch blasé after living here my entire life. also this house has a basement so it's not like we have to drive to a #shelter anymore. it doesn't take longer than a min to find shelter when a watch becomes a warning. i do get my pets down when it starts to #turn ugly during a watch bc getting 5 animals into the basement quickly if they declare a warning sounds like a nightmare #all that said: i'm gonna get SO coated in ash and rain. my cig going out is the only thing that might make me go in #len speaks

john darnielle you can’t keep doing this to me man

#bitches be like “why did you hide in the bushes whenever you saw a car pull into the parking lot”#girl You taught me how to listen to these distant stations #also. hitting me with “our love keeps the things it finds” and “i wanna go home but i am home” in the Same Song was criminal #john darnielle #the mountain goats #all hail west texas

I just finished season three and it feels like everyone has some sort of safety net except for Leo and it makes me so sad. He’s watching everyone’s backs, and sure, Jed has his to a point, but he’s literally carrying everyone on his shoulders.

#he’s so so so so so stressed #and that distant look he gets when he gets hit with yet another thing #and he just keeps taking punch after punch #Leo you’re hurting my heart #leo mcgarry #the west wing #tww

I finally watched The Creator and holy shit why didn’t any of you tell me it was going to be that beautiful

#this movie was literally made for me #i’m a ml engineer #I research tech comms & censorship in asia and la #vietnamese language vietnamese people!!!! Thaii!! nepalese!! desi!!!#*cries* god i love being asian #Asians banding together to kill colonizing Americans ilysm #gareth edwards forever the movie maker of all time #we are going to gif the shit out of this #once I find out how to #the creator #this is the dream science fiction was made for #science fiction is not for taking from other cultures and putting white westerners in its place even when that's how it's been.#it's for telling a grave and distant future that is not so distant to deliberately expand your view of how the world works #INCLUDING outside the west and the united states #reclaiming the genre to the very culture that inspired it #And by not only showing the overpillaged overcolonized overpoached focus on southeast asia but also all of asia as a united front.#Imperialism is supported by xenophobia and racism so how else do you tell that story without casting nonwhite races & diverse nationalities #the movie said you just fucking can't!#and its apparently not even that hard with the film coming in at $80M to make (blue beetle cost $104M for comparison that's insane)#and to say 'American' so clearly and so many times oh is so *chefs kiss*#there's flaws but idgaf because they are insignificant compared to the story and themes that are so clearly and respectfully carried out #It's completely okay if you didn't know anything about southeast asia or asia in general #but when watching the movie don't you just understand that imperialism war violence are inherent evils #NOT because (a) other cultures are nice to look at and you can borrow it like through clothes dances food songs religion #(b) that we are pretty advanced and such intelligence shouldn't go to waste and perhaps be put to work #or (c) any other rationalized benefit for imperialists to put a price on a people or life #but by the simple fact that people are human and are hurting #and that the elusive concept of a soul and where we go when we die exist for everyone along with fears emotions and meaning surrounding it #it's about how we must protect these differences in meaning /because/ we are all the same

gotta take a controversial stance here and say that "anti-Jedi sentiment is inherently racist because it was partially based on Buddhism" is a wild thing to assert in light of the fact that the Jedi as an order has notable, systemic problems with handling difficult children, relationships, negative emotions, attempts at oversight, and practitioners of other Force religions.

and also that they're fictional and were invented by a white guy who wasn't even Buddhist himself.

#we spent the whole of our The Acolyte watch viewing the Jedi through a deconstruction lens #I'm not feeling particularly charitable to people asserting that a fictiona higher-control group #of people who notably walk around armed #are The Best The Greatest And Untouchable solely because it's nostalgic for them and is connected to a real Minority (in the west) Religion #sw #love whatever Luke is doing at the end of Return of the Jedi though THAT I can get down with #and my partner's been reading some distant-past legends books and likes that interpretation of the original order #unrebloggable for obvious reasons #I LOVE star wars. I love it. but I have always been more interested #in the regular people #the bounty hunters #and the Jedi revival

darling, i assume that you’re a gentle soul & full of endless kindness that has no bounds. you’re always looking for the soft side of each person you meet & long for the simplest things in life. i love you! 💌🤍

hdhdhdhd jayyyyy 🥹😭 i mean i hope it’s true, but i think gentleness is not something self-assigned so if y’all assume me to be gentle, then i think i am? and that just means the world idk 🥹🥰🤍

i do indeed long for the simplest things like a good song and a quiet hug with in a dimly lit room 🥰

#me in 2022 trauma-laden and distant: i’m gonna be the most cold unapproachable person on the internet EU-west!!#yall anyway: you’re warm and gentle the fuck 🫶#🥹🥰🤍 thanks for letting me be warm and gentle yall it means so much #quiet cuddles in the dark are still my jam and i hope it never leaves #not st #ask game answered #nice people being nice to me

after 9/11, I remember some kids were terrified a plane would crash into their school. I understood that al Qaida had targeted symbols of American power and it wasn't likely they would attack a random school. However, the United States became united in the face of the attacks (at 1st anyway) and al Qaida failed to demoralize the US. I thought, the most effective terror strategy would be to attack random civilian targets. Terrorize the population.

This is what russia is doing now. Deliberately attacking civilians in order to demoralize the country. It is spreading terror in a true terrorist's strategy. We have to recognize this is what russia is doing. It may be a "good" strategy but it is a horrific thing to attack and kill civilians going about their day-- in their homes, train stations, stores, restaurants. Normal people around the world should be more outraged by this.

However, this strategy hasn't worked so far. Ukraine is united against the attacker. Because to give in would only spread more terror and untold horror in the country-- and russia would be emboldened to attack others.

Because Ukrainians

#Ukraine #Terrorism #russia #9/11 #Ukrainians are strong #Empathy? Some have it but idk doesn't seem the majority #Not just a distant conflict it concerns us all #Plus. Idk. A larger nation attacking a smaller neighbor? If you don't see the injustice idk.. u r blind #Civilians should not be targets.#It's true that civilians were targets on 9/11 but it was the symbol that was the point #Which was a perhaps good strategy for someone with limited means #Look at al qaida now...#Sadly the terrorist groups even tho not attacking the west still active in middle east #Better not totally discount them now either #Also the terror regime in Iran... hope it falls soon!#Dictatorships are brittle and artificially stable bc they rely on repression #Their undoing is in their structure #Whioe democracies are flexible #Change is built into their system #And free people are better citizens . Not buried in fear
