vague-posting about this here cuz i don't feel comfortable yapping about my su takes on twitter, but after everything that's happened the most interesting thing about the su fandom to me is that so many are 100% there for applying the "everyone can change and deserves a second chance" message to everyone, even the diamonds. except for one ☝️ she doesn't count. cuz she's dead.

#personal #very extremely delete later #ok cutting the vague post this is about a “whose the worst cartoon mom” twt post with pink diamond in the running #and a bunch of people pointing at her. the woman who died in childbirth and never got to meet her child. and she's literally next to #mother gothel. the baby kidnapper who kidnapped a baby #i'm always gonna be a pink diamond nuancepilled defender. she was a shitty entitled teen who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth #then got self-radicalized and rebelled for both selfish AND selfless reasons #“this show is great because everyone makes mistakes and learns from them. except the pink one. she's bad and dead forever.”#anyways this is a crit towards the fandom not the show #“she had steven so she could selfishly escape her mistakes and put all her burdens on her child” or she wanted a child #“she abandoned her family” or she died during childbirth #“she started a war that got thousands of gems killed and mutilated” and if she hadn't nobody on earth would exist #the fact that some fans are more willing to jump to white diamond’s defense when talking about her reformation and redemption #white diamond—the architect and supreme ruler of a 10000+ year old fascist empire—has 10000% done worse more unforgivable things than pink #guys even blue diamond has shattered gems before. like not just kill them but permanently split their souls into pieces.#ruby called her a “SHATTERER.” she was INFAMOUS for murdering people. pink never shattered anyone #for fans of a show that explicitly says nobody's truly a villain you guys sure do want a villain really badly #anyways “we need more compelx female characters y'all couldn't even handle rose quartz” etc. etc. etc.

random throwback to fabio's response to casey saying he should've been black flagged for the whole open leathers situation

#'he is at home and he likes to fish' is truly superb #//#brr brr #heretic tag #i was reminded of this in a very roundabout way... seeing a social media graphic celebrating fabio making q2 #which is like. yes that's nice. but that's also inherently extremely depressing lbr #and i was kinda thinking how... look obviously people don't ignore it and yes the novelty has worn off after last year #but it feels like what's happened to fabio should STILL be getting more attention than it is. like it is a major injustice #that also no past stars of the sport are regularly having hot takes about! they mostly just ignore him!#i do sometimes link casey and fabio in my head. roughly the same age gap to the all-time-great hazing them during their rookie seasons #the only riders within their manufacturers able to wring performance out of their bikes over the course of several seasons #who suffered a competitive decline as their manufacturers went the wrong way #now obviously casey's 2010 is nowhere close to as abysmal as fabio's 2024 but. y'know. and at least casey got to leave for pastures greener #anyway given all that. it is funny that like their one significant interaction is fabio dismissing casey as a fisher #which ironically is of course a deeply casey line. casey had a whole thing about how retired riders should maybe know to stfu #“i have seen the real face of some with whom i had a good relationship” EXTREMELY casey line #and thus the cycle of life continues #(though casey was obviously right here lol)#ofc the main difference between the pair of them is that fabio at heart is a lover and casey is. not that

teen wolf meme: [3/6] creatures -> kitsune

There are thirteen kinds of Kitsune: celestial, wild, ocean, thunder... But there is one, a dark Kitsune. They call it void, or Nogitsune.

#teen wolf #kitsune #kira yukimura #nogitsune #noshiko yukimura #twedit #twgifs #mine #my gifs #twmeme #kitsune my beloveds #we should have gotten more of noshiko #actually they should have just treated all the yukimuras better #kira's tail should have had more impact on the story #i know noshiko only had like 13 tails or smth after being alive for 900 years so it wouldn't make sense for kira to get another one #during the run of the show BUT what they did do with her tail like her father using it to bring her back in season 5 had so much potential #they should have done more with it is all i want honestly #i'm gonna sound like a broken record for all these creature ones but the kitsune are soooo cool within the show #would have been great if they didn't use japanese imagery like that tho #not even gonna touch on how the movie messed up so much of the mythology and changed stuff i'll get angry #just know i love them

you guys please understand they were going to say “CASTIEL’S PERSONAL HEAVEN” and paper the walls like a teen girls room with pictures of dean pictures of dean’s face PLASTERED onto the bodies of beefcakes all while cheek to cheek blares out. as brought to you by fucking metatron

#cutting an I love you because your actor who’s been kinning this guy for years thinks is out of character:#cutting part of me always believed you’d come back because same actor thinks that’s too gay:#cutting castiel’s personal half naked dean winchester heaven because tptb go hey maybe this is too gay and homophobic. as a bit:#I understand why we’re picking handprint. but I will put forth the argument that this is the bait rounds and that overall #the handprint is less bait and more so the weird boy besties behavior #listen you know I LOVE the handprint. but in terms of genuine great american queerbait #and I mean they put the handprint back on during the love confession at this point that one’s just textual we’re talkin BAIT #closest to bait here I’d argue is the fact they had anna palm it while having sex with dean #like actively pausing the sex scene to just show anna gripping it and dean reacting #but again that’s more. weird. than bait I’d say. Simply because that transcends bait into what the fuck are you guys doing #but at this point cas was hot off the scene by season 9 they KNEW what they were doing and they were DOING it maliciously in a POST YOURE #NOT CRAZY TWEET WORLD

I was super lucky to win a commission from @nerdferatum and can't thank Sara enough for this absolutely gorgeous art of Kyrahlise and Shery! I'm in love with it have literally cried over it three times now! I really hope folks can see some of the romance novel cover art inspiration going on here, I thought it was what Shery deserves! Also, please zoom in on the full piece, because you can't see Kyrah's adorable freckles here with how much tumblr compresses the image, and that's a damn shame. Now please excuse me while I go stare at it some more!

Edit: In my excitement, I forget to tag @shepherds-of-haven because without the game there couldn't be this beautiful drawing!

#Sara was so wonderful to work with! they took all my vague ideas and made them so much better than what I'd envisioned!#and she perfectly captured the vibe I was going for!#this is now the background on my laptop!#apologies for no image ID -- I tried to write one several times and my brain was like “I can do words but not those words”#why? idk #hopefully I can add one later #shery acquell #oc: kyrahlise niriviel #shepherds of haven #shoh #commissioned art #okay weird minor head canons about this piece incoming:#it's set a few years after the main events of the game so Shery is more confident and secure in their relationship #is Shery reading a romance novel? of course! might parts of that romance novel get reenacted in a little bit? quite likely ;)#also I imagine Kyrah's life isn't quite so chaotic and violent as it was during most of the game or before it #so she's able to take better care of her hair resulting in it being nice and fluffy!#would her hair look like that during the game? no. she travels too much and doesn't have time to take great care of it

Iran is bombing Israel apparently, FAFO moment truly.

Both Biden and Trump are vowing to defend Israel with harsh military force against Iran.

If they follow through with it and the US moves against Iran, this will actually become a war.

Do not stop pressuring politicians to support Palestine. Do not stop advocating for Palestine. Do not stop protesting Israel. Do not stop protesting genocide.

From the river to the sea.

#Why do I have to live in a country that’s always on the wrong side of history #Why are both candidates on the ballot this election war mongering freaks #can these old white men just both get a fatal stomach ulcer and go septic #surely there could be literally ANYONE ELSE #I would rather vote in a literal dog #but no I have to choose between a far right conservative and trump who wants to wage war with Mexico and China AND iran now #Great #anyway focus on the other seats on the ballot this year everyone #Biden and trump are legitimately identical on half of their stances I truly cannot tell who the worse one is because they agree on everythi #frankly at this point I’ll just vote Biden because the trump voters are actively dangerous when he’s in power #they are either way but he has a lot more power over them during his presidency #but since both Biden and trump love to abuse immigrants and support genocide #there isn’t even a lesser of two evils here #it’s solely a matter of keeping the trump cultists in line

kingisle whenever they need to coax older players back: HEY YOU PERSON WITH A WALLET!!! REMEMBER DRAGONSPYRE?!? REMEMBER HOW SAD THE LAST ACT MADE YOU FEEL? HERE'S SOMETHING REFERENCING DRAGONSPYRE!! ISNT THAT YOUR FAVORITE?!

#artenoise #ki101 #wizard101 #pirate101 #like i have no issue with dragonspyre as a world but the extent that it's use to generate more hype is getting old #the mali the undying stuff with AZ and darkmoor and then the catacombs #and now this new pirate update #like it doesn't even matter if it doesn't make much sense like the young battledrake mount #DS is the cash cow even more than WC because they know people that played up to the end of DS or DM have some fondness for it #but it's getting so sour and overused imo #like if mali the undying didn't happen and get resolved ten years ago i would've bet real money they would've pulled it now #but they bank so heavily on the nostalgia but it isn't even that good of a world #the pacing comes to a screeching halt once you reach ashley #and the weakness spam is really tilting if you're trying to get it done in a day or two #but it's also not bad it still has the best aesthetics and ideas and doesn't feel like One Thing #like how wallaru is Just Australia or zafaria is Just Africa #and the atmosphere is great it gives off this post protagonist feel ig. where it feels like any other game would have you doing stuff #during the invasion. but no. it's just an active graveyard #that's the other thing the more KI tries to expand on it the less harrowing and mysterious it feels #which is a huge bummer.#even if the catacombs was cool #i know this is a long ass ramble but dude after seeing the new pirate update im just. bruh.#Yaknow

While I absolutely hate not posting, I'm also very glad Soli is on mini-july break because guess who has two thumbs and just spent the past two days in a migraine coma!? THIS GUYYyyowowwww.

#never been so glad that I'm not at any of the numerous events I put the comic on mini vacation for #being in a con hotel with a migraine is something i have experienced and never want to experience again #that was ax 2005 #that was Pain #got lucky every other year I went and never got struck down again #except for the year I went a week early to stay with friends and got a migraine a few days before #but a friend's quiet couch is far better than a con hotel for that #anyway!! thanks to having a couple of new messages during my coma I remembered I had other messages I meant to answr WOOPS #I will poke those once my postdrome lets up a bit #I do hope everyone AT a con or on vacation is having a great time!! No migraines ok? I will take your migraine for you #or wait I guess it's no longer sunday #so people who WENT TO a con or are going to the upcoming ones #you better have good times or had good times!#WHAT DAY IS IT

It just clicked for me that I’m going to be all-consumingly devoted to intensive studying for the next month. I’ve been more ambivalent since the year started, bc I honestly miss my friends and want to pursue a lot of hobbies I’ve been dying to pick up, but I want nothing more than to ace an upcoming test that will genuinely determine so much of the trajectory of my life. I’ve already been studying pretty consistently for it, but now I’m actually letting go of my expectations for other things while this is going on. Putting all this pressure on myself has done nothing but slow me down. Like my brain is actually shifting into study camp mode. It’ll be back to waking up at 4 am, studying for 8 hours a day minimum, crunching flash cards w my morning drink/on the treadmill, getting so much done before noon, and not feeling guilty if other areas of my life suffer a little bit. Nothing outside of this matters.

#im going to treat it like a sport bc it is #obvi I’ll still be volunteering / doing orgo research / going to the neuro clinic #but studying is my top priority for sure #hitting the gym / watching movies / fun stuff peppered in between will keep me sane during this #and also seeing friends bc I just need my wonderful friends. but it’s ok if it’s less frequent for now. it’s fine #I was doing great last year and then this year started and my resolutions started overwhelming me and I just haven’t been doing as strongly #the time will pass anyway #I love studying so this won’t be a problem #but I’ve just been up and down ab it lately bc I wanna pick up so much stuff at once #but now that I’ve realized this I’m at ease again. there’s a time for everything. one month off to study is fine #hopelessly devoted to you by olivia newton john but it’s about me and my test #p

Since you’re really getting into the world of Jewish music, have you heard of chilik frank ? He’s a chossid who does ashkenaz/Klezmer. My absolute fav song from him is a song called ‘Rabi meir omer’ !

Ughh one thing I love about kletzmer is the emphasis on clarinet so many songs have. It makes me want to pick mine back up and play this by ear...

As well, this is how it feels to play clarinet:

#ask #jumblr #jewish music #when i was first learning clarinet in school we all had a music book and i always gravitated toward playing the jewish or kletzmer-ish song #i didn't know it was kletzmer or jewish but i knew i absolutely LOVED playing that style of music #i have ALWAYS adored how that music style has sounded. deep in my heart i knew i belonged in a kletzmer band #anon thank you <3 #i SERIOUSLY need to get my claronet out but i don't know how i'd explain to my family why i'd be playing obviously 'foreign' music #i haven't picked up my clarinet in years........#do reeds expire ....#i love learning songs by playing them by ear. i learned a lot of songs through this and even made claronet parts to songs that don't have i #i'd walk around during marching band practice with my earbud in playing parts over and over. i bet it was annoying to my peers LMAO #my toxic trait was listening to music while marching and playing music (not during comps obviously just during band camp)#it was so bad i listened to one song eight hours a day (more like ten) every day for two weeks #even AFTER band camp i would replay it on my walk to my ex's house. and it was a twenth minute walk or so. it was BAD.#UMMM. apparently reeds DO expire. funny. some of my reeds i used for half a year or more #and these websites are saying to replace them biweekly? no way. no fucking way #i don't care. i'll let my reeds grow a culture of their own if they play well (slight hyperbole)#vandorens are GREAT but they're pricy. i am NOT shelling out my life savings for three reeds

MiqoMarch Day 08 - Fav. (Side) Job

When she's not running around as Ninja or Summoner , Arsay's next choice is the lance. Being bestowed a source of draconic power by Midgardsormr moments before his slumber, and knowing how to channel the powers of Bahamut with dreadwyrm trance, Arsay's power as a Dragoon rivals that of even the former Azure Dragoon. With that said, she'd much rather use her polearm to hunt monsters.

#miqomarch #miqomarch2024 #ffxiv #miqo'te #WOL posting #Arsay Nun #arsay kain pose pog??#an attempt was made #I didn't want to repeat myself two years in a row lol #do love playing drg though its so fun #praying it doesnt become too different in dawntrail #in my canon Arsay never does the lancer or dragoon lv 30-60 job quests #She gets Estinien to teach her some basic moves while on the road trip to drivania #one cause she thought it looked fun two because its hard to back stab a dragon without going full shadow of the colossus on them #Shes pretty good with the lance too so she does use it on that first nidhogg fight #then she continues hvw as ninja/smn #she doesnt have any of the dragoon part of the dragoon kit until she goes through the great gooble library with y'mhitra #where they learn about dreadwyrm trance and arsay discovers her surprisingly strong connection to bahamut #y'hmitra: wow thats weird didnt you say you werent around during the calamity how did you connect to him so easily #arsay: so there's this massive hole in the ground in eastern la noscea-#When its time to end the dragonsong war for real this time in the patches she picks up the lance again and enters trance mode #She does get a job stone finally after that #its a gift from aymeric #a symbolic 'you were part of the troops' type thing #oh and later during stormblood arsay does go through Those job quests #because of course shes helping a little dragon friend #and during the omega raid series when Middy saves her life just before he goes to sleep again he gifts arsay a scale to carry with her #a bit of dragon aether to tap into when she needs it !#anyways thats arsay dragoon lore thanks for coming to my tedtalk

Sometimes I remember that my whole house was so obsessed with the show Merlin, that we named the first tree we planted in the yard Merlin.

When it was given to us 11 years ago it was hardly a scraggly stick, and now it looks like a giant bush

Artist rendition

#this is the first year it has like!! actual bark!!!#only the middle/ main trunk #I’m so emotional over this tree you guys don’t even know #he won’t stop growing branches on the bottom #so he just looks like a huge bush when leafed out #then another tree we planted the same year looks like a Maple Tree TM #I love all the trees in my yard #every day when it’s warm enough I tell them all they’re doing a great jobs #and one who burnt during a really hot summer didn’t grow for YEARS #but we didn’t give up on it #no sir #we cut off the burnt limb #we kept telling it that it was doing great #and last year!!! it finally started growing new twigs!!#it grew more than like 5 leaves!!!#and this year so far there’s already a LOT of growth!!!!!!#and one tree I got from a childhood best friend like 5 years ago has absolutely taken off #like holy hell #the tree was a sapling from the tree from her backyard #it was my favourite tree growing up #it’s were we were kids together #guys no you don’t get it #we slowly fell out of friendship and then years later she texted me #‘hey you know that one tree you used to love? do you want a sapling from jt otherwise my mom is throwing it in compost.’#‘she thinks you don’t care about this tree anymore but I know you do’#*sobs*#Spoofy tambles

The unmistakable sound of footsteps approaching begins to fill the air. Whoever is coming seems to have brought some company along…

They are getting closer… and closer… and closer…

…and closer…

……until..................

"Goooooood evenin'!!" Comes the loud greeting from a certain blond man. A big smile on his face and all.

"We beg your pardon for our prolonged absence. It was completely beyond our control..." Then adds the gentleman standing by his side, apologizing on behalf of both, offering a genuine smile along with the apology.

"...BUT! We're back!" And hopefully for good this time…

looks up. i regret to inform you all that i’ve seen another post today. the faunus woman who led vacuo during the great war was not a queen and almost certainly not of royal descent as the asturias family claims to be: it is stated repeatedly in the CFVY novels that the last time vacuo had any kings or queens was centuries ago and that very little of the historical record has been preserved (with 9.11 reiterating the novels’ point that this is a consequence of colonial occupation in the intervening centuries).

and from the world of remnant episodes pertaining to vacuo and the great war, we know that modern-day vacuo did not have a formal government until after the great war; it was not a state, it was an occupied territory under mistrali control. the faunus woman who led vacuo’s forces was the leader of the vacuan movement for independent statehood and likely became a member of the ruling council established after the war—which is now defunct and has been de facto replaced by shade academy.

please. BLEASE. the great war began about ninety years ago it has not even been a century. the vacuan monarchy is “ancient history.” finn talks about his mother—who would have been a contemporary of nicholas schnee, who was born right after the great war—and her mother, who would have lived through the great war, and his grandmother’s father, and his grandmother’s grandfather, and his grandmother’s grandfather’s mother. rumpole—who is an actual historian—flat out states that it was so long ago, and war and colonization so thoroughly degraded the historical record, that all that remains is legends and uncertain guesswork.

the asturiases having no blood relation to the faunus woman who led vacuo in the great war doesn’t prove or disprove anything because even if she did style herself a queen and claim royal descent the vacuan monarchy ended so long ago that her claim would have been unverifiable mythmaking too.

#like do you think all the war and colonization that destroyed all record of the vacuan monarchy and turned vacuo into a wasteland #happened AFTER the great war?? ? hello?? in just eighty years?? HELLO?#most of the adult generation will have been born to parents who were born during or after the great war it was not that long ago!#if you want a real world comparison as to the historical scale?#the second world war ended 79 years ago. not the first; the SECOND.#the great war is very recent history.#it feels ancient to the 15-19 year old characters but adults whose parents or grandparents were great war vets keep TELLING THEM it isn’t #it ended eighty years ago. eighty years. my grandfather fought in wwii. i’m thirty.#and there are in fact. detailed historical records of vacuo in the great war and the period of conflicts preceding it #we know this because the characters are familiar with that history and no one is confused or unclear on the historical facts of that period #AAAAAAA!!!!!
