i was confused reading this, because i did not parse at all that there's three people being talked about here. when it went from "the feminist" to "your fiancee" i was like ?? this is one person? because using the supposed "oxford comma" makes this necessarily read as an apposition ("along with [your fiancee, (who is) a militant feminist], and [your ex].") on the other hand without the appositional comma, this is perfectly understandable ("along with [your fiancee], [a militant feminist] and [your ex].")

#anyway this is an oxford comma hateblog #jk it's not that serious #and i can imagine situations where it might be useful ?#but most of the time i see it used (incl in demonstrative examples!) itis either superfluous or more(!) misleading than its absence would be #making it mostly useless #j #*the times when it might be useful would largely depend on the subject matter tho #so i don't think it could ever be considered a hard (context-independent) rule it is usually presented as

space sweepers but they're delivery people and are at no point on screen through the entire movie

#fantasy high #riz gukgak #kristen applebees #gorgug thistlespring #adaine abernant #fabian seacaster #figueroth faeth #the bad kids #half tempted to say these names are forum handles they use so much it pretty much became their professional names lol #I keep them teenagers bc its funnier that way #no real lore I just like drawing this. but I do think abt how theyre all weirdos too also bc thats funny to me #riz is a huge conspiracyhead who does everything by hands. he has a casio fx-570 in mint condition. nobody knows how he's maintaining it #he is nonetheless Really Good at his job. which somewhat tracks bc it's a job that requires keeping up with interstation conflicts #and new policies and an obsessive amount of planning. but he is Too Good at it. and also he dresses like that #kristen has the atomic engine that theoretically lets her unmake and remake matters with her mind. but it consumes a huge amount #of energy so it's mostly useless. she's still a cult survivor also #gorgug lives his entire life on a ship with his parents who quit a cushy deal maintaining a space station bc he wouldn't be allowed on #the low gravity let him grow very tall but also his oxygen saturation is pretty bad so he's got breathing support #fig is a robot who just found out she's a robot like two months ago. she's been assuming everyone's a robot like her and she's been feeling #very betrayed by her mom lying about that part. she's on a body mod spree which is rough bc system-specific parts are expensive #and so is adapting random parts to her system #fabian's still a pirate captain's son. can't say anything that'd be able to get the vibes across clearer than that #adaine went to tech/business school. she put her monthly allowance towards an ecoterrorist group in her academy which turned out to be an o #and she's currently wanted by UTS. more than fabian. which makes him slightly mad #she's also acquired a passion for low-tech weaponry on the way. she likes ice picks and cleavers #I think up all of this for no reason except that once again the idea of all these people being 1/teens and 2/on the same ship to be posties #is hilarious to me. esp. if they were in a forum group chat beforehand

hey in ur peri animatic: (https://youtu.be/OCqlRuDaXYU?si=K52WDu_vw9rg7chz) that I have been permanently obsessed over since today and have watched about 20 times by now so much that I have drawn & posted stuff based on it what was that partial bug form peri had?

I haven’t watched either of the show btw so if it’s explained in the show please tell me plsssss

OK, SO the bug thing is not technically canon to the series. It's based on my own headcanons for fairy biology, but i do have justifications for it!! Fairies have very strong shape-shifting abilities, so it would make sense that the form they show to humans isn't necessarily their true form(not to mention extreme that mimicry is very common in insects). And you want to know the visible traits almost every fairy has in common? Being very small with Insect-like wings.

The fact that their humanoid form isn't their true form in actually confirmed in the show! Cosmo and Wanda are revealed to look like biblically accurate pseudo-angels in the museum episode. (I say pseudo angels because the Flaming Sword of Eden is only debatably sentient and I don't think is considered an angel. Ophanim are also debatably not angels because they don't have wings (sorry for the angel tangent I like angels))

So wouldn't their true forms be angelic then? Well, yes. But I like bugs so. Also I have more headcanons to justify myself. I like to think that they have both a true-true form (incomprehensible to the human brain, probably exists mostly in a dimension invisible to us, that looks how we imagine biblically accurate angels), and a fairy form (which is visible to humans but is naturally very insect like and tends to scare people). So, in order to interact with humans, they have to learn to shapeshift into a humanoid form but will occasionally slip if they get too relaxed/aren't careful, hence the mandibles coming out when he yawns!

The reason they struggle so much more with human forms than the animals or objects they typically turn into is that, well, they aren't trying to convince those animals or objects. The more human they try to look, the harder it is to keep up convincingly. If you turn into a really uncanny squirrel, only other squirrels will notice. If you turn into a really uncanny human, they form a lynch mob and burn you at the stake.

#fop #fairly oddparents #fairly oddparents a new wish #fop a new wish #headcanons #ok I think I said everything I wanted to #my brain has so many useless thoughts bouncing around in there #their bright colors would also imply that they are poisonous to eat #my personal theory is that Jorgen is half human idk how else to explain whatever he is. tall. no wings. that or he's something else entirel #maybe he's a higher rank of angel #fairies are definitely a type of angel in this world #but they don't seem to line up with any specific rank as far as I can tell #they behave most like I'd expect a Guardian angel to which could make Jorgen an Archangel or Principality #but Ophanims are in the first sphere of heaven which. uh I don't think it's right #to be clear I'm not even religious im just way too into angels #Uhhhh anyway I guess the moral of the story is that I did that just because I wanted to an because nobody could stop me #Actually Im just thinking about this now #I mostly drew baby poof without bug features to keep his design uncluttered visually #but fairies having naturally very human looking larva would explain how changelings happen #something something evolution. mutualism. those parasite birds. idk #ok im out of thoughts now seriously this time youre free now #speculative biology

*Sending you the warmest and most comfortable hug I can give* You are amazing and your art is amazing and the way you write is amazing too, you have a unique vibe that I adore and i treasure your art/writing so so so so much

U3U

thank you kind anon, it means a lot that you took time out of your day to send this ask. i appreciate it so much.

#my asks #paviscreams #not cotl #i'm mostly just. feeling inadequate and useless because i don't do anything nowadays other than work and be tired #meanwhile people with full time jobs find the energy to hang out with friends and make art and work on personal projects and study and #i just. can't do that.#also i have a terrible memory #so i forget i actually have accomplished stuff years ago and think i'm a useless waste of time and space instead

Chapter 27 will be published tomorrow! 🎉 Best come prepared with a spray bottle because I officially can't control these two any more.

'Fine, fine. How about this, then?' He plunged his hand into his trouser pocket and began rummaging elbow-deep within its enchanted depths. 'Hang on, it's here somewhere. Nicked it from Ominis.'

Sighing, Aurélie held out her hands expectantly. 'I need to get you a bag,' she commented as he piled his usual assortment of Every Flavour Beans and scraps of parchment and bits of mallowsweet into her waiting palms.

Sebastian snorted. 'I'm not carrying a bag around, I'd look like a girl. Besides, it'd be too easy to steal from.'

'Well, what if someone steals your pants?'

He cracked a wry grin. 'If you're trying to get my pants off, all you have to do is ask.'

— How to Make a Villain, chapter twenty-seven. [wattpad | ao3]

#he's such a MENACE #also his enchanted pockets are my favourite thing #they're mostly full of beans and truffles and crumbs #but he also hoards seemingly meaningless and useless things that remind him of her #like the owl feather he snatched out of her hair in chapter four #and the letter she wrote him in French calling him a dirty great big rotten liar #and a twig she fiddled with during their first real conversation #heeheehee #sebastian sallow #aurelie collins #how to make a villain #morelikeravenbore writes #sebastian sallow fanfiction #hogwarts legacy fanfiction #sebastian sallow x foc #sebastian sallow x fmc #hogwarts legacy

just need to give a shoutout to all the people who interact w me or the things i make on here for the love and good vibes. twitter's been pissing me off the past couple days and i just think it reaffirms i'll never really leave tumblr bc the fandom culture here is just so much.. more lol

#more respectful funnier more loving more fun in a lot of ways #getting lectured by ppl years younger than me abt why posting shit without credit is ok when its like #all the best and most fun fandom spaces are dying #ppl are growing up sure but all these ppl are like 'i used to make gifs so heres why ur wrong' and its like #oh you USED to? well whyd u stop ? bc the effort level wasnt worth it just to be #saved and reposted w ill intent or not get any interaction like its so #everything is abt a race for interaction on the dumbest n most unoriginal jokes #its extremely frustrating to try to justify spendinf any time doing anything online anymore when ppl are so fcuking flippant like its crazy #'heres a shitty unsized n uncoloref gif i ran through some website and IM okay w ppl reposting' like lol #anyway when giffing dies itll be a sad fuckinf day to me jfkd truly a useless skill #but that means everyone still doing it is doing it for the love of the game or #the love of archival work and it makes ppl beinf so fuckinf disrespectful #or going to bat for nonsense seem so absurd to me like #really . really. if u have an option to share where it originally came from with one less click #ur gonna choose NOT to do that and instead repost just to insinuate the person who made it did it to insult someknes appearance #like. its just so.#fandom is dying and its so sad and etiquette is nowhere to be found so NXKKD gratefuo for the ppl gere #and sorry for the rant #none of thise matters but ive had an abundance of free time the past few says so ive been STEWING #mostly just want to say i love u all NDKKS and even if ive complained abt interaction its mostly just tbing website dying more than anything #which. is so sad lol #but i love everyone still here

love you seven times remains one of my favorite dramas ever and i hate people so much for tainting chaoyue's experience like i still can't believe useless people decided to hate on her and tell her she sucks to the point that she cried multiple times on live videos and HER CO-STAR HAD TO FREAKING DEFEND HER like it makes me so sad and it's so stupid because there's so many dramas out there that weren't even half as good as lyst and actors with no talented that are constantly praised and y'all decided to hate on chaoyue when her acting is to say the least decent and she actually did an excellent job on lyst imo like i'll never forgive this i hope whoever participated in this never gets to enjoy any show ever and also i hope they all know that ding yuxi hates them

#yang chaoyue #love you seven times #ding yuxi #anny watching #btw this was mostly chinese fans and i guess maybe some useless international ones idk #but lyst is loved internationally for what i've seen and it's so unfair #imo chaoyue is ding yuxi's best partner and they're BESTIES and it's so unfair if they never make another one like please they should

what is this intrafandom horrible taste you speak of. please, i must know the gossip

a certain videoludic transformative work of chromatic inclinations really gets on my nerves.

#rather. it's mostly mediocre. the way everyone has been falling over themselves acting like it even remotely approaches a shadow of canon UT #has pushed it well into the realm of useless bloodfeud however #sorry but the way nobody sees the flaws in the story and how flat and inconsistent the character writing was #(and how preachy. in a very annoying but more importantly out of place way)#has just. really finalized in my mind the fact that people straight up don't know what makes undertale good #and that is a very disappointing feeling to come to terms with. so I'm grumpy #answered asks #biscia hater moment #the music fucked tho. like. UNBELIEVABLY hard. perhaps that's what sold the illusion

when you die anubis weighs your heart against all the useless 3d printed junk you made and if you made anything resembling a rainbow slug you go to hell forever

#3d printing is actually so bad and mostly useless you should literally have to get a permit for it. the 3d printing subreddit is where art #goes to die #ive already failed btw although i am like already trying to consider how to save as much plastic and not just make like #copies of other peoples useless baubles..i do think that stuff is literally A Waste. 1 unit of Waste

Anuzzer LW doodle, this time with Robo

It's, er, a sore topic for both of them.

#lw frankenwrestlegear ◇#MOSTLY I WANTED TO SHOW LW AND KG'S MAGIC TYPE!! It's called prog/psych magic #Lw and kg learned their basics from 'uncle' paradigm (he adopted them mostly to keep them out of trouble) but then to his chagrin veered of #Into this long-forgotten type of magic cuz its practically useless. It's just tricks of the light and warping light around you #But lw and kg learned how to use this in ways to warp the opponent's mind and make them think they're fighting someone bigger/faster or mor #Basically in game it would the WORST thing and manipulate hitboxes and the screen itself #Besides that it makes markings in her skin glow and its pretty light! Free lightshow! Free pyrotecnics!#Lw is unable to use 'proper' magic due to being kind of a made/revived gear instead of a proper one... like many gears in one you capisce #LW also self-identifies as a dragon despite looking just reptilian and nothing particularly identifying it as a dragon

my nelvas and moraak thought crumblets

#text #eaaaaaaaaaasy Peasy #actually i'm upset now because i had to read at least some things m*raak says during DB quest and omfggggg the absolute snoozefest that is #- his character i'm actually knocked out and drooling on my pillow #the fact that he has fans is solely bc he's pushed to the forefront as the big bad. cus he has goldfish IQ and idk.. personality of -#- some pebbles in reality #the only good thing to come out of his existence is The sexxxxxxy ass fact that mora protected him (and then decided to marinate him)#i think he falls flat badly just cause he doesn't have something to fall back on; idk how to describe it tho #i think making the Big Bad the character who is 5000+ but was dormant and useless all the time is um..... it was a choice #idk what's up with him but his character doesn't even have the value it should theoretically #Nah that's crazy bc why does t*lvas have a more interesting personality from like 10 voicelines than that abortion #but i'm not mad cus t*lvas is superior to every other character on that island like i mean it #mostly cus he bounces off n*loth's personality really well. to Me #this might just be my personal bias tho bc i do only like characters that are down-to-earth and 'normal people' more than the ones that r -#- very overblown to the point where they're just marvel villains #i would rather lsiten to some working class elf serving dinner at a political gathering than to anything m*raak has to whine about #i remember saying the same things about m*raak like 2 years ago when i didn't talk much and someone pointed me to a mod or smth and -#- like 🤦‍♀️ no offense but maybe i will actually take whatever happened in canon over the shakespearian Dookie the fans will be writing -#- about him #i think there's no point in building a bigger and impactful backstory or motives to him if in canon he was meant to be ass #'meant' as in it turned out to be ass #cus i don't actually believe sk*rim characters are rly that much very 'Badly written' really.. and there are things to dig out of what -#- a character has #and if one of them has nothing pleaselet him die . No i'm jk

discourse is crazy sometimes u just have a divisive topic that rules your dashboard both sides duking it out and no conclusion is ever reached and then suddenly u realize u havent heard anyone say anything about it in years

#i remember discussions (well ''discussions'') abt if he/him users could be lesbians was a hot topic and now #im just kind of like ohhh. well that was nothing.#same for bisexual lesbians except i still dont know how thats literally any different from bisexual but the point is that #it was a lot of useless incendiary infighting.#thw point is that we are all different and we are also a minority and stronger together.#sorry but u need to make amends with 'but thats weird' bc we are all weird... ASSHOLE!!!!!!!#this was mostly abt lgbt topics of discourse but theres a lot of variety of bananas discourse out there #original nonsense #personal #ace discorse was hot for years i had to unfollow some ppl over it but now im like.#WHO CARES. WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT BUT ITS COOL AND WE R STRONGER TOGETHER #AS A COMMUNITY.#idc about the semantics of being valid i just want to live my life how i want.

they’re messing up ellie’s character so bad this season maybe people will actually like abby

#kat rambles #tlou spoilers #can’t believe they’re making her seem useless and defenseless etc until they randomly have her switch up for an iconic game scene that is #still tweaked to have less intensity and rage #and also ik they will probably assasinate abby’s character as well (they kinda already are with her yap session in 2x02) so this is mostly a #joke #and not in the a win is a win way because i enjoy abby’s character #it’s in a how could you fucking do this way because bella has the rage!!!!!! they can do it if you let them!!!!!!
