#life of you

[astolfofo]

okay hehe , here are my BSD ocs (i’ll make a more in-depth detailed version sometime later. I’m actually proud of these designs, but I’d give our beloved 1984 guy a different outfit. It’s the picrew’s fault not mine.)

also this was lowkey inspired by @dazaiyohane​ pls go check them out :D

Ability:

1984, by George Orwell. It’s an omnipresent ability connected to the book itself. It allows him to know everything about all abilities and their users, simutaioniously. It also is a mind manipulation ability, that allows the user to completely bend others to his will. Will do and believe anything he says, and if they are to resist (or to learn the true nature of his ability), they are subject to the mental torture, which in most cases, causes them to die. 

Personality/Beliefs: 

Despite what his ability is, he is strongly against manipulation and abuse of power. He’s actually brutally honest, and a realist that prefers to work alone. He’s just not willing to compromise against his own ways which makes him seem cold and arrogant a lot of the time. This leads him to fighting with a lot of people, which in his case, might be dangerous, so he does most work by himself. 

Occupations/Backstory/Affiliations:

He’s actually affiliated to nothing (Maybe the Japanese Government). He is someone who was born out of the book, and his only job is to keep the book, no matter the cost. He basically knows about every single secret in the book, but he has to keep them a secret, or else the book will be destoryed. Also, he knows about every “parallel” universe in the book, and can see what happens in them all. 

Okay this is my own oc, my “self-insert” oc, hehe. 

Ability:

Farenheight 451, Ray Bradbury. A desctructive ability, but can be also used as mental manipulation ability. It’s pretty similar to Chuuya’s ability, but instead of gravity manipulation, it’s sound manipulation. She can manipulate sound, and cut through anything, but for 1 minute she uses her ability, 1 minute gets taken off her life. Can be also used for mind manipulation by warping the perception of sound of another invidual. As such, she prefers not to use her ability, despite how powerful it is. Additionally, very few people know about her ability. She opts for a sniper/long range weapon instead.

Personality/Beliefs:

She basically believes in freedom as much as the next person. Is sometimes a nilhist, but in general, she doesn’t think about anything that much. Prefers to just do her job, go home and call it a day. She doesn’t really bond with people well, and tends to forget them really easily, unless she sees them as worth keeping in her mind. 

Occupations/Backstory/Affiliations:

Works in the government as a military engineer. Goes between Yokohama and Tokyo often. Mostly stays in Tokyo because Yokohama is basically 5 seconds from being torn down every other month, and it’s impossible to get work done that way. However, she is sent there usually when backup is needed. For example, during the Guild Arc, when Ango got into the car accident (she was livid at Dazai), she was sent for backup to completely cut down the Moby Dick and save Atsushi and Kyouka in case Dazai’s plan failed. 

In terms of her backstory, she is originally from the west. After accidentally killing one of her family members, she fled from the west and ended up in Tokyo. Eventually, she heard of Yokohama, and decided she would stay there.

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Oh…. Well, it’s over for Crunchyroll I guess

[beaft]

my mum forbade me to say anything to my dad about the top surgery thing, and it's just hit me how funny it would be if i got it done and didn't tell him and just waited for him to notice. i mean, what's he gonna say? "didn't you used to have tits?"

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.

Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.

Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”

Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”

The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.

Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”

Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.

Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

I low-key love the fact that sci-fi has so conditioned us to expect to be hanging out with a bunch of cool space aliens, that legitimate, actual scientists keep proposing the most bizarre, three-blunts-into-the-rotation "theories" to explain the fact we're not.

Some of my favourites include:

Zoo Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they're not talking to us because of the Prime Directive from Star Trek? (Or because they're doing experiments on us???)

Dark Forest Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they all hate us and each other so they're all just waiting with a shotgun pointed at the door, ready to open fire on anything that moves?

Planetarium Theory: What if there's at least one alien with mastery over light and matter that's just making it seem to us that the universe is empty to us as, like, a joke?

Berserker Theory: What if there were loads of aliens, but one of them made infinite killer robots that murdered everyone and are coming for us next?!!

Like, the universe is at least 13,700,000,000 years old and 46,000,000,000 light years big. We have had the ability to transmit and receive signals for, what, 100 years, and our signals have so far travelled 200 light years?

The fact is biological life almost certainly has, does, or will develop elsewhere in the universe, and it's not impossible that a tiny amount of it has, does, or will develop in a way that we would understand as "intelligent". But, like, we're realistically never going to know because of the scale of the things involved.

So I'm proposing my own hypothesis. I call it the "Fool in a Field" hypothesis. It goes like this:

Humanity is a guy standing in the middle of a field at midnight. It's pitch black, he can't move, and he's been standing there for ages. He's just had the thought to swing his arms. He swings one of his arms, once, and does not hit another person. "Oh no!" He says. "Robots have killed them all!"

[spyglassrealms]

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing

[hansoeii]

we go just right.

a moment of peace before the whole world shatters 😇
