slowly returning to the big miravi fic i was working on and trying to recall everything that i was going to have each individual chapter be, though i might also discard the chapter names i had going as a theme (or to add them back later, after its finished) since i dont know exactly how many chapters this will be

also im thinking about adding another merfolk in the beginning scene, both because it helps set the scene as something weird going on (since miranda's serfs are notably not merfolk and aaravi has only seen other merfolk than miri and bell inside of the actual merkingdom), and because im REALLY thinking about how i write the help lately and all of miri's serfs and staff and servants and fleshing them out. its been a huge pain in my side how every single fucking thing lately refuses to include the help and to write them out, including trying to include rich, powerful characters who dont need staff or help to run their estates or do anything, in a way that notably does not exist in reality and only serves to further mentally and psychologically separate out the classes.

which is both good and bad because, oh boy, i get to design more merfolk characters! but also, OH NO, I HAVE TO DESIGN MORE MERFOLK CHARACTERS.

#all the care guide says is 'biomass'#miravi.txt #this is my great monkey's paw #i looooooove making more ocs that solely exist to fill out space in the background #and to make the merkingdom feel inhabited by people with their own lives #but then writing them becomes ROUGH #though another upside is it acclimates the reader to slowly having more and more merfolk just Be Around #since the palace is effectively a city onto itself #like all the castles of merfolk royals are. theyre made to service a massive number of people all doing different things #and living in the same area #its funny to me that you technically have public spaces inside the private space that is the palace #just because so many people are doing so many different jobs there

#I was super excited about this. I found two right around the same area on the same day.#I knew we had leopard slugs because I had seen what I thought might have been a dead one a month before.#But the two I saw on this day were the first live ones I ever saw. They are so gorgeous! And so big!

Kingdom Hearts - End of the World

#kingdom hearts #kh1 #end of the world #scenery #my gif #this world is so fascinating...#i'm impressed by how the devs can create unsettling and ominous worlds while still using such vibrant colors #like they don't use grey tones as a juxtaposition to the lively disney worlds. they may darken the palette but it's still colorful #also the music here is on a whole other level. they certainly know how to set a tone and atmosphere #i never really noticed how the gummis in the chasm are constantly changing colors. same with those sticky looking web things #i had to include two gifs from that place because it's my favorite area #and now i'm finally done with creating a gifset for every world in kh1 :] three games down... many more to go

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.

yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.

it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.

how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.

chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?

how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.

"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.

i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

#writeblr #warm up #i can't write rn but i have SO much words in here bc im reading the chorus of dragons books #(just started book 4)#and this woman's writing is just LIVING in my brain. let me out!!!#(i read roughly like 2-4 books a week usually bc i go on long walks with my dog but when a book is REALLY good like. it eats my life. )#anyway ...... so like here's a story that idk i've tried to explain to other people as being wild #but maybe im the only one who thinks it is wild???#so i play pokemon go (i just started in jan) bc i love pokemon and as i have mentioned i walk goblin for like an hour in the morning #and i don't like a lot of fitness trackers due to the fact it makes me .sad. but i also wanted the little digital rewards. enter pokemon go #anyway so they make you make friends to complete quests. so i used a reddit thread. i do not usually use reddit. i don't have an acct #i lurked. i just googled like ''pokemon go reddit '' and randomly added a bunch of numbers #i was on that page for all of 15 minutes. there are THOUSANDS of responses on that page.#here's what's wild: in that group of people. even though i am not on reddit and it was one random event once #it turns out one of those people lives in the town i live in. or at least very close. i only know this because #when we send each other gifts. it's from the same freaking area.#i can't ask them to meet up bc pokemon go doesn't have a messaging app lol but like . what are the fucking chances that #a random person posts in a random reddit thread and HAPPENS to get added by someone ELSE from their SAME TOWN #who by pure fucking CHANCE is ALSO playing pokemon go and looking for friends #i googled it there's only 42000 people in my broad region. the .......... smallness ! of the world!!!

....I just wanted to draw gators :T at this point these 2 are more 'a representation of my last 2 brain cells' then they are actual characters 😅

#im living vicariously through the cartoon guys #because i want to A. pick up gator (strong man style)#and B. ..pick up gator (hug)#ok but so i recently found out an area where i take stupid little walks for my stupid little mental health #has! GATORS!! (potentially. theres signs.)#and this is great cause seeing gators would def heal me as a person #but ok so when i look for hiking places i always look north cause the terrains more hilly #but now im lookin south more cause turns out i AM in fact far enough south to see gators!!#and yeah looks like theres a handful of nature reserves w hiking trails the same distance away as the little mountain trails i go to #its flatter and the trails are less extensive so ill hafta see if i think its worth it #but then too theres a really big black water swamp that.. further away then i wanna drive..#but also i drove 5 hrs once just to go to mammoth cave as a day trip so.. we'll see..#my friend says he wont go w me tho :T he'll just report me missing #this has been a tag ramble about my sudden outset intrest in seeing a gator #my bullshit #lol barely but still #also- i told myself not to over do it drawin the scales or coloring it #and as you can see i dont listen to myself ever #lol they look outta place but idc i got to draw 2 of my favorite characters and also ALLIGATORS :U #living the dream rn

Can you do gender fluid bi flags thranduil?

Here he is!!! Back on my indigenous Sindar agenda hehe :D Thank you SO much for this request, I always love drawing him especially for Pride because I get to design the most fabulous outfits. I used the bi flag colors mostly in the crown, and the genderfluid flag colors in his outfit.

I finished this one on stream so if you'd like to watch me color and render it, here it is.

Pride Request Guidelines

#thranduil #pride #pride requests #bisexual #genderfluid #love me a bi thranduil #and genderfluid is also so perfect for him #if you guys are wondering his outfit is mostly based on traditional Nimiipuu dress for both men and women #though I pulled in a few things from the Yakama and Paiute nations as well #I tend to go with those three when thinking about the Sindar bc their inhabited areas on turtle island are similar climates and biological #environments as Greenwood the Great and the rest of Rhovanion #also they all three live in the same area of turtle island roughly and have cultural exchange with each other #and I tend to envision the Sindar not as a uniform group but as more of an umbrella term #for several different nations of indigenous elves #i was so excited to do this bc I haven't drawn him since last year #and my headcannons for him have changed quite a bit since then

I’m working from home today, and happened to witness a magpie landing on the yard with a piece of bread or something. It hid it deep in the snow before walking away like it absolutely did not just do anything of interest whatsoever. It did it like three times, each time hiding a new piece in a new place. I didn’t know magpies hid food like that and it was really precious to see.

#my art #coincidentally there's also a squirrel (or several) living nearby who also hides food in the same area

I think my most toxic trait as a Zenos enjoyer is wanting to 1v1 everyone who says that Zenos actively wants to kill his opponents

Like, completely disregarding that it is actively ignoring the text even in StB there (and that he consistently wants the WoL especially to live), he, uh, is written as having a desire for more the opposite to happen. Very, very consistently. His drive to live is solely linked to brief moments of pleasure-from-struggle and when that drops he explicitly wants to die so he can preserve the moment (and like. *looks at the end of 6.0* if he wanted to kill the WoL he would not be disappointed when they fall before the game allows it, nor would they have lived after given his will was strong enough to bring them back if they bite it). He wants struggle and lacks the ability to give enough of a shit to hold back if someone walks up and says they're going to go for his head.

Like, death is a side effect of what he's after, it's not the goal and he explicitly considers it a waste of life. Even fighting isn't the goal, the goal is to struggle, to need to put effort in. The WoL is just the only person to put him in that state as he currently is, hence his obsession.

#final fantasy #zenos yae galvus #zenos viator galvus #like there's plenty of readings i find irritating but ignorable bc it's stuff about the grey areas he lives in #but he's very consistent about... not valuing life in itself but considering needless death to be wasteful #and it's a trait the game takes you aside and tells you directly as part of the msq multiple times #there's zero implication the game comes out and says this #in several places including z's own dialogue #the end result is the same but it matters a lot for discussions of him as a character that the motive is to struggle #the end result is irrelevant to him #vs like. omega. omega's after the end result of ultimate victory #the process doesn't matter to it except as a way to remove flaws from itself #now his definition of needless could definitely use work and he is still a bastard #but getting the motive right means you stop being the people who ignore the game text bc you don't like him

HELP. My criminal law professor just constructed following case:

"What if a father - let's call him Valentino (V) has shared custody with his ex-husband - yeah, let's not always be like 'ugh, bad ex-wife' and reflect the diversity in our society - So Vs ex... Mark has their son Frank from Monday to Wednesday. He -" then the case followed.

Either this man has no idea what insanity he is causing me beside wtf he is trying to teach and this is just the biggest coincidence or he is doing it on purpose.

Sometimes I start getting worried for no reason like “oh no what if people take issue with my different species in worldbuilding projects having different physical needs and abilities because it could lead to inequality” as if that isn’t an interesting and worthwhile topic to think about in itself. We have a society of ONE sapient species and we still have endless variation in our experiences and one million inequalities bitch you think it won’t be a problem when there’s even MORE variety? Dont you want to think about how this manifests and how people accommodate (or don’t accommodate!) these differences. Don’t you love passively generating entirely fictional toxic tumblr discourse threads <- don’t actually do that part I think it fuels the anxiety even if it’s fun in abstract

#Con stop yapping #ALL THIS aside I comma personally think it’s lazy to flatten every species into #a range of similar/functionally the same physiology #what do the spread of civilizations look like when half the population is bound to warm humid environments?#what do accommodations look like for a wet guy having to live in a dry place?#what about when one species is massively more adaptable than everyone else who are more specialized?#how about big differences in childrearing logistics? what if you hibernate? what if what it what iff #there’s definitely areas where I KNOW I would be out of my depth and therefore would #only b able to do surface level stuff with it #but that’s life sometimes you have to be honest about your limitations as a single guy with a weasel for a brain

Ifrit's surprised to find Alpha coming to settle beside him - though that doesn't stop him from huddling up under the bigger ghoul's shawl when he opens it in offer. They share warmth and comfort each other in peaceful silence, neither pushing for any awkward conversation. 'All will be well.'

A somber moment between packmates.

This is at the funeral for Alpha's kits that I mentioned in this post.

#the band ghost #ghost band #ghost bc #nameless ghouls #alpha ghoul #alpha ghost #ifrit ghoul #ifrit ghost #oh yeah ahah ifrit and alpha came from the same pack in the pit :3 #theyre actually the only two ghouls that i hc that for. i don't know why exactly.. maybe angst reasons #they live in the worst area ngl... aside from swiss and sunny these guys have it the worst geographically

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - Main Road

#kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage #kh0.2 #main road #castle of dreams #realm of darkness #scenery #my gif #i suppose this area is still within the same world as my last set but i felt it deserved its own post #because it's so beautiful here i love the atmosphere #some areas are so lush with pretty flowers and fireflies and a few lanterns scattered around that make the place feel lived in #while other areas are covered in an eerie fog with distorted structures and an uncanny sky shimmering above #i spent... a very long time staring at all of the foliage. nomura can you put a first person view camera back into these games please #should we question why the people who live in these worlds aren't sent to the realm of darkness but the fireflies are?#what'd they do to deserve that

“If you think Palestinians should be given most/all of their land back, then you must think all Native Americans deserve most/all of American land back?”

Yes! Precisely! Thanks for clearing that up!!

#realistically it would be the ability to give back more land and being able to live in the same areas with equity and equality #but in a world where people have a conscious #yes #this is exactly it #rae’s rambles #Palestine #free palestine
