Tumblr doesn't allow more than 10 images so I'll separate the colors (yes this is a arbitrary sort post. Will update it whenever)

druk gets into zukos coffee supply
"Uncle."
Uncle raised his tea cup to his lips.
"Uncle, how did he get in."
Uncle took the most delicate of sips.
"Uncle I am not turning another storeroom into tea storage."
"How unfortunate to waste the space," said Uncle. "After all, it is quite hard to keep a dragon out once they have acquired the taste!"
"Uncle."
#Druk is doing zoomies in the background#anyway that's more or less how coffee plants went extinct in the Fire Nation#future historians are trying to reconstruct what sort of plant this 'coffee' could have been like Greek historians trying to find silphium#they're brewing arbitrary beans in hot water while Zuko weeps in the spirit world#Uncle also in the spirit world: sipping his tea#pretending like the extinction of an entire species wasn't just pettiness over his nephew never embracing his hot leaf juice#Iroh your relation to Sozin is showing#have some tea nephew it's calming#meanwhile on an island not so far away: the Sun Warriors are maintaining the last (un)known patch of coffee plants#for Ran and Shaw to roll around on like cats on the 'nip#avatar the last airbender#atla#Zuko#Uncle Iroh#Druk

"Everything went wrong after David Bowie died" "everything went wrong after the Reformation"
Me, whose Metaphysics studies and medievalist interests have been heavily shaped by Dominicans: everything went wrong after Ockham et al. sustained the primacy of Will before Good in the nature of God.
#Theology#Christianity#Catholicism#it's funny because it's one of those discussions that sound extremely Byzantine#But if Good precedes Will in God then God's Will is primarily good#and its goodness must be discerned rationally by the creature#but if Will precedes Goodness then good is essentially and substantially arbitrary#God could have perfectly chosen to create a world where murder is always a good and heroic action#or where one's first duty is to make everyone's lives as miserable as possible#And that would be literally good and the good in such a world because God so willed it#such an understanding of the primacy of will on the ontological order leads to an understanding of reality as dominated by power#and in that scheme self-serving manipulations of religion and Scripture are not only easy but rationally justified#that's the where and why of Benedict XVI's motto being cooperatores veritatis#the cooperators or servants of truth#because Truth cannot be possesed and used#it can only be sought and followed after#in honesty and humility#which again ties back to the supremacy of good (and its transcendental truth) in the metaphysical order#EDIT: this is also where strain-the-mosquito-swallow-the-camel legalistic attitudes come from#Because if what's good is what is defined by the will of God as expressed in textual commands#then any comprehensive rational inquisitive reading is out of the question#and will-infused casuistry is in#Biblical literalism can only thrive in this sort of tradition#“where does it say in the Bible that [insert hyperspecific thing...”#but it's also the environment in which the kind of attitude denounced in pharisees#as sticking to precepts without embracing the moral good that sustains them#and so twisting said precepts to their own convenience

yes i know feixiao is a fox but thematically. thematically she would make an excellent borzoi like imagine being a wolf and you come across this snowy white creature and she looks a little like you and a little not, and she sounds a little like you and a little not, and you know she is something but you don’t know what until her teeth are around your neck and in the end you realise she is the predator and for once you are the prey. or something. does anyone see the vision
#sev.screams#feixiao#lowkey have hybrids on the brain. hybrid au perhaps#was once more sorting my blorbos into arbitrary categories and had a long hard think abt feixiao#a descendant of wolves born to hunt wolves. please tell me the vision is visioning#shes still ofc fox to me but the themes guys THE THEMES

Small character detail I have no good excuse to mention: Hyden hates anything remotely similar to "fast food". This applies to all AUs. He finds greasy, cheap, oversalted/overly sugary food disgusting. Additionally, he hates--HATES--messy food. The only foods he will eat with his hands are ones that are very clean and dry and leave no residue. Getting some sort of sauce or grease on his hands is one of the worst sensations in the world (doubly so when he's a bunny… to be fair, can you imagine eating barbecue while wearing fur mittens? Ew!)
When he was younger, he was slightly more flexible on these limitations. Here he is eating a "ham burger" normally to show how normal he is. He is fitting in with the common man. He is pulling it off. He's got this. Look how relaxed he is. You could almost miss the Rolex on his wrist.
Of course, every rule has its exceptions. As has been mentioned before Hyden often has no idea where food comes from or what goes into it. At some point, somebody failed to mention to him that Cinnabons come from kiosks at the mall and cost less than $100 each. Therefore, they escaped his "fast food is disgusting and I hate it" filter, and, in a modern AU, became one of his favorite desserts. He has a pastry or two each morning with his coffee and then wonders why he never seems to lose any weight.
#my ocs#hyden#young hyden#human#lore posts nobody asked for#also I can't find the post where I mentioned it but reminder that he hates lobster in Amaranthine canon (because it's peasant food)#but loves lobster in modern canon (because it's rich people food)#his tastes are very arbitrary and based largely on 'do other rich people say this is good'#Okay I will draw something real and polished next I SWEAR IT#just been so busy lately and feeling kind of stifled by not having time to draw...#had to get out a bunch of ideas fast. but next I will do something... better. Don't know what yet but it'll be cooler#verse: amaranthine#(sort of)

really really funny how biopics tend to depict historical figures as having a like near-mystical awareness of their future legacy & a kind of conscious devotion toward like instrumentalizing the things that theyre most remembered for
#reminiscing about the like tv bumper reenactment about marshall mcluhan#depicting him coming to a (semi-arbitrary) realization of The Medium Is The Message#and sort of standing there in like hypnotic bewilderment repeating it to himself#as if to say 'he knows this is Big'... coming off as 'he knows this is The Thing People Remember Him For'#indigoing

oh no
#not a poll#thinking about my program again... what if i hypothetically rewrote large sections of it to hypothetically allow a particular matchup#with an arbitrary amount of competitors. and i added a propaganda “”“shader”“” system that applies simple changes to propaganda#(like uwufying it or stealing it or making it all blue or whatever)#and i implemented logic for ties that did various things based on what setting you have chosen.#and what if i made the editing competitor data in the program section actually good this time?#and what if i added support for rich text (or really any sort of content block) in propaganda?#and forget rewriting sections of code to handle arbitrary numbers of competitors per matchup.#what if i made the program stop making you have 2 per competition and have 3 or 4 (and deal with byes effectively in that case too)?#what if i finally got around to adding support for double elimination tournaments? what if i added support for round robin?#and WHAT IF i finally got aroundto making round 0 render the byed competitors in their round 1 places this time?

are you okay with folks writing about your guys? i know they're very personal to you!
I'd consider it an honor! They are very personal to me that's true, but it always makes my day/week when people draw gift art of them, and I find written works comparable to that. If you end up writing something and posting it somewhere, please let me know, I'd love to take a look as well.
#I'm not a writer so it's very interesting impressive and inspiring to see them through another art form#one that is so different from the visual art I make#just try to be nice to them#you don't have to stick to my canon but it'd be preferable if they stayed sort of true to their character#and an arbitrary rule but whatever you do please don't kill Vasco I really don't think I like the idea#Vasco is only allowed to die of natural causes at old age#answered#anonymous

*points at brain* why is it so angery
#I want to fight an arbitrary someone but like verbally#in a maximally petty unpleasant way#for no apparent reason#I suspect often this sort of thing is like. a transferral thing where I was mad at a particular someone but couldn't express it *to* them#and didn't notice? lol#anyway but I can't think of any situation that'd fit the bill rn so who knows#m#ref notes

Bi culture is not relating (for me, it's also being irritated) to any 'bisexual stereotype' like 'bisexual sitting pose', 'finger guns', 'frogs', etc.
I'm a bi who doesn't fit in these stereotypes, and constantly seeing them on social media makes me just feel awkward (?). Like, no, I'm sure not all bisexuals are like that, what do you mean? I personally, due to my back problems, sit straight (and even without them, I would cause it's comfortable), absolutely hate frogs, am not a 'golden retriever man' (or w/e is that), etc. Not seeing bisexuals who don't fit in the stereotypes is a bit (a lot) appalling, since there are zero bisexuals in a place where I live, so that's why I try to find them online... soo, any bisexuals who don't fit into the stereotypes?
April 12, 2025.
#bi culture#bi#bisexual#biromantic#god yeah the arbitrary 'bisexuals love iced coffee' 'non-binary people love frogs' type stuff is so weirdly annoying to me#and when the same random thing (e.g. liking frogs) is attributed to seemingly every demographic ever...#at some point you have to consider the possibility that Maybe Frogs Are Just In Right Now#maybe this isn't a bisexual thing or a lesbian thing or whatever but simply a Fashion thing or a Your Social Circles thing#and like it's perfectly normal & ok to be annoying. everyone is annoying to someone no matter what#and there's nothing wrong with these sorts of jokes in themselves! i enjoy them myself plenty when i'm in the mood#but it's really frustrating when you're looking for connection & community & all you get is shallow stereotypes

The Big Scary has improved drastically which means it's time for What The Fuck Are You Doing With Your Life to resume
#dumb babbles#Neither of us wants to go back to work but the problem is I don't turn 65 this year like she does#Many cool things I COULD do but would require me to be some degree of self employed or business owner#Get a job and be at the mercy of either corporate greed or individual greed#Must I earn an income is it not enough to simply be a traveling task specialist#Let me do random tasks for folks who need them. Let me organize and clean. Let me sort and apply arbitrary skills#Do I have to go back to school? Do I WANT to go back to school??#Explained the concept of burnout to my mother and saw a light bulb go off for her so idk man maybe I do just gotta vibe for a bit#Maybe this is the excuse I need to make the art-as-a-career thing a reality... just not cooporate design again.

At what point does rpf turn into historical fiction
This is an interesting question – it seems like it's mostly a label thing, though probably the real people you're depicting have to be considered history for it to count as historical fiction. In that sense, I think stories about the Beatles in the 60s could be historical fiction, but something about Paul in this century would probably not be (at the moment).
Aside from that, RPF/fanfiction comes with a semi-expectation of it being ship-related. Of course, that's not always the case, but if one posts things to AO3, then that's the community you're associating your story with, as opposed to, for instance, self-publishing your story on Amazon.
I've actually thought about the fact I could probably market I'm Looking Through You as ~historical fiction~ because it doesn't feature any ships (but I couldn't because I quote lyrics too often lmao).
#i think the way shipping is centered in fic is interesting#like it's both arbitrary and to some extent hypocritical to draw your line concerning fiction about real people there#on the other hand I sort of get that the two genres have distinct flavours and different priorities in writing#ask#anon#fic#meta
